Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1853 Chapter 492: Formless Void_2

Apparently, this serves as the penalty for not succeeding in the Heaven Tower trial.

Li Hao's mind swiftly focused within his personal realm, where he spotted three realm hearts materializing at the spot of their prior formation, drifting closer to one another.

Witnessing this, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, the Heaven Tower's reincarnation acts like a time reversal, returning everything to the state before entry!"

"Except that during my time inside, I achieved a breakthrough and formed fresh realm hearts, so upon the reset, these realm hearts newly emerged from my realm and started to converge..."

Li Hao's gaze gleamed with excitement, and a wave of assurance washed over him right away. This Heaven Tower carried immense importance for him; he sensed that he could potentially carve out the Emperor Road right here!

"Advance!"

Li Hao dashed forward without delay toward the Heaven Tower ahead, selecting the identical 47th level as last time, being the nearest option.

On this occasion, he avoided pushing for tougher levels, since it served no purpose.

His goal was to leverage the Heaven Tower's reincarnation feature to handle the presence of the three realm hearts together.

Reaching the 47th level once more, Li Hao repeated his earlier actions, unleashing the third verse of the Infinite to elevate his foundation nine times over, igniting the Divine Blood for an explosive surge, shaping the realm into Sword Qi, and striking without pause.

The six Ancient Demons hadn't closed in at all when Li Hao wiped them out in an instant, even quicker than previously.

Free from the disruption of those six Ancient Demons, Li Hao watched the three realm hearts steadily drawing nearer, and tension gripped him suddenly.

In the past try, despite giving his all, he couldn't shift the three realm hearts at all; this showed that interfering with them directly was impossible, leaving him to explore alternative ways to halt their union.

"Equilibrium..."

Li Hao's brow furrowed as ideas raced through his head; he believed the secret lay in achieving equilibrium.

Balance alone would guarantee steadiness.

"The pull among the three realm hearts appears equally strong."

Right then, Li Hao realized the three realm hearts were being drawn together with matching force.

Yet their setup didn't form an ideal triangle, as the Reverse Time World Heart and Formless World Heart sat a bit nearer, meaning at this pace, those two would unite first. After growing stronger from merging, they'd swiftly drag in the Void Realm Heart and absorb it too.

"By keeping a flawless triangular formation with even spacing on all sides, it might delay the process..."

Li Hao's eyes flashed; earlier, he'd attempted to nudge the realm hearts, but they remained fixed.

With that in mind, he decided to shift the realm itself!

He called upon immense immortal power, weaving it into the realm.

Adjusting the realm proved straightforward enough; Li Hao aimed to widen the realm's scope. Even if the realm stayed rigid and immovable, expanding its boundaries remained an option he could pursue.

Among the three realm hearts, by broadening the realm's expanse, he managed the gaps between them.

Before long, the spaces separating the three realm hearts evened out.

And the pace of their drawing together and uniting dropped noticeably.

The reciprocal tugs formed a triangular tension within.

"The merging rate has dropped!"

Li Hao's gaze brightened, a spark of elation rising in him.

"Still, they're pulling toward each other; this won't hold for long..."

Li Hao eyed the triangular setup of the three realm hearts and sensed that merely creating a triangle fell short of true equilibrium; plenty of geniuses in the past had figured that much out.

As the realm hearts inched closer bit by bit, Li Hao figured that roughly three incense sticks' worth of time would see them blend into a single one.

"If they can draw each other in, perhaps they can also be forced farther apart..."

An idea struck Li Hao out of nowhere.

Gazing at the three realm hearts, he directed his will, channeling immortal power to deliberately upset the spacing balance among them. In moments, the pair that hovered slightly nearer accelerated toward one another, their pull yanking them away from the third.

Li Hao tweaked it once more, drawing one realm heart nearer to those two, which promptly caused that pair to close in again, distancing from the first one.

Li Hao's eyes sparkled with delight, a thrill building inside.

"It actually succeeds!"

"The draw between the three realm hearts lets them circulate, and as the triangle shifts, a loop starts to emerge!"

"Yes, the method to secure the triangle even more is to encircle it with a circle!"

Excitement flooded Li Hao instantly; the realm linking the three realm hearts kept contracting and stretching along a curved path, while this curve orbited the trio's triangle, crafting an invisible, intangible ring!

This ring would sustain the three realm hearts in endless harmony!

"Three realm hearts... existing side by side!"

Li Hao never imagined that on his second go, he'd uncover a solution for the three realm hearts.

He reckoned the challenge of coexisting three realm hearts proved easier than with just two. Those initial two marked the hardest hurdle.

Li Hao commanded the realm with subtle expansions and contractions, holding the three realm hearts in steady poise.

He became more skilled with each adjustment until he commanded the three realm hearts completely.

"Three realm hearts, unleash power all at once!"

Once he handled the balance masterfully, Li Hao erupted suddenly, and the three realm hearts activated together; in a blink, the powers of Reverse Time, Formless, and Cave Void burst out, astonishingly blending as one!

Though the realm hearts themselves stayed separate, their energies combined into a unified force.

Li Hao sensed his realm entering a bizarre, singular condition—not tied to the present space-time, nor the future, free from the void yet not truly void, but nestled in some enigmatic gap.

"I wonder what levels my realm can conquer now..."

Li Hao's gaze wavered; he felt confident facing the Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm again, able to endure it.

Without a second thought, Li Hao opted to tackle the 48th level next.

Quickly, the Heaven Tower transported him to the 48th level.

Twelve Ancient Demons emerged from the void tear ahead, instantly targeting Li Hao's spot and charging at full speed.

Li Hao drew in a deep breath, his body surging with might as the three realm hearts' forces displayed in unison, the realm morphing into an odd Formless Void.

Li Hao skipped using Sword Qi this time, intending to gauge the realm's prowess directly.

Moments later, the twelve Ancient Demons encircled him; as Heaven Tower creations rather than genuine Ancient Demons, they viewed Li Hao at Immortal King Realm First Level without scorn and assaulted with utmost intensity.

Twelve realms bore down, the void brimming with their overlapping domains, yet Li Hao lingered amid them, feeling a delicate barrier dividing their realms from his.

This barrier shielded him from their reach.

And as for him...

Li Hao willed it, and Void Sword Qi lanced out at once.

This Sword Qi moved with blinding speed, springing from the Formless Void, leaving the twelve Ancient Demons utterly oblivious. Only when damage struck did they register the Sword Qi—or maybe they just felt the wounds without spotting the attack!

Throughout, they never detected the Sword Qi's presence or understood the source of their harm.

Bang bang bang!

A series of blasts rang out, the Sword Qi infused with Formless Void might, amplified by Li Hao's potent Divine Soul Power, shattering the souls of all twelve Ancient Demons in unison.

"What a shame; being Heaven Tower constructs, they're no real Ancient Demons and can't be refined..."

Eyeing the blood fog around him, Li Hao's face settled into composure, though a hint of disappointment lingered in his chest.

Still, these Ancient Demon traces barely counted as basic resources; whenever he desired them, supplies would arrive promptly.

"The realm of the Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm holds no sway over me; challenging the Sixth Level of Immortal King Realm seems feasible..."

Li Hao's eyes tightened, deciding to leap straight to the 51st level.

"Beyond the first trial, later attempts are limited to cleared Heaven Tower levels and the immediate next one, nothing further."

The Heaven Tower's voice echoed, alerting Li Hao.

Li Hao halted briefly, a touch of reluctance in his tone, "Fine then."

He proceeded with the challenge.

A short while after.

True to Li Hao's prediction, he cleared the 50th level effortlessly.

The Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm Ancient Demons' realm failed to touch him, while he struck from the Formless Void, annihilating them.
