Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1890 Chapter 506: Cosmic Realm Domain

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Li Hao unleashed the Formless Realm's power to shred Ninth Level Immortal King Ancient Demons, swiftly ascending through the Heaven Tower's layers amid raging battles within. Outside, the Immortal Immortal Emperor and Star Empress observed as top figures from elite clans like Di Mingyuan and Dao Qingyin remained idle, conserving strength for the grueling trials ahead, while hidden powerhouses surged past the ninetieth floor, intensifying the True King selection's competition. On the ninety-sixth floor, Li Hao overcame Perfection-level Ancient Demons, reflecting on his 4,000 drops of True God Blood and amplification techniques, before breaking into the hundredth floor's Chaos Void to confront a towering Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon radiating faint Emperor's Might, prompting him to overlap his Seven Paths Realm into a pseudo-merged Kingly pressure.

For the first time since embarking on his cultivation path, Li Hao achieved a false fusion of seven Realm Hearts.

Beyond the mere overlap and enhancement of realm strength, the distinctive powers inherent to these seven Realm Hearts had evolved and intertwined as well.

Formless, All Phenomena, Reverse Time, Chaos, Cave Void, Creation, Boundless!

With the integration of these seven Realm Hearts' forces, every capability appeared to expand and intensify, and the scene unfolding before Li Hao's vision abruptly shifted in astonishing ways. He witnessed myriad laws gathering and then scattering like strands, as the nearby environment appeared to crumble, giving birth to an utter black hole!

This black hole's scope defined his realm.

Within this lightless black hole, Li Hao sensed a potent chaotic energy alongside the essence of Formless.

Such was the union of chaos and Formless forces, birthing a Primordial Great Void Realm Domain!

Next, within the realm resembling a black hole, lights akin to stars began to sparkle into existence; each ray was forged from innumerable laws.

Formless embodies All Phenomena, Formless embraces All Phenomena!

As the law-forged lights emerged in abundance, the Primordial Great Void slowly morphed into an expansive starry expanse.

Yet all remained motionless, akin to a painting; however, unlike a painting's two-dimensional flatness, this formed genuine space.

Li Hao perceived the multifaceted, abundant spatial energies that wrapped around every law, and a single term flashed in his thoughts.

Cosmos.

In that instant, a fresh power joined the mix, prompting those star-like lights to drift, resembling celestial bodies streaming through a galactic river, breathing vitality and energy into the inert, serene, lifeless void!

Universe!

A fearsome realm force stretched outward, as if obliterating all in its path, disrupting the tower's internal space outside his own realm.

The quasi-emperor Ancient Demon charging ahead came to an abrupt halt.

From this Immortal King Realm Seventh Level youth ahead, it detected an immense pressure rivaling its own, hinting at something far more dreadful lurking beneath!

As its eyes darted about, the tower's inner space warped suddenly, and amid Li Hao's cosmic starlit galaxy, an ineffable, profound force altered those laws, rendering them enigmatic and their core profoundly concealed.

A daring spark of life ignited in that realm, and the Life Sea in Li Hao's domain dissolved into myriad droplet-sized essences, sustaining the vast stellar laws over time's flow.

Creation... Fate!

"Hmm?"

Beyond the Heaven Tower, the Star Empress perched atop the structure shifted her gaze faintly, directing a soft look toward a specific section of the Heaven Tower.

There lay the quasi-emperor's origin point, the hundredth level.

"I sense the stirrings of fate awakening..."

The Star Empress whispered to herself, her focus locked on that level, instantly beholding a staggering sight.

The emperor artifact energy upholding that level started to fade, while space repeatedly crumbled, consumed by a realm that expanded without cease.

Beyond that realm, the quasi-emperor Ancient Demon hovering in the emptiness refrained from striking and instead whirled to escape in panic.

Yet against the relentlessly growing realm, with space steadily disintegrating, the quasi-emperor Ancient Demon at last brushed the realm's edge, vanishing in a flash like scattered dust turning to cinders.

Although the emperor artifact energy sustaining that level was fairly modest, the occurrence remained utterly astounding!

"Annihilation... Right at Immortal King Realm Seventh Level, he eradicated a quasi-emperor Ancient Demon..."

The Star Empress hesitated briefly.

Despite witnessing countless prodigies, she had never met such an aberration, save perhaps for a Great Emperor's reincarnation, who upon hitting Immortal King Realm Seventh Level might scarcely harness Emperor Dao might, yielding similar feats or even surpassing them!

However... that youth was certainly no Great Emperor reborn; her Heaven Tower, fused with cycle shards, could reveal reincarnation tallies, and that youth was merely in his second incarnation, his soul's span under two millennia!

At such youth, even a reincarnated quasi-emperor couldn't achieve this!

"How?"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor caught the Star Empress's unusual look and felt a touch of surprise.

Rarely did she show shock; even the standout feats of great clan scions elicited only mild interest from her.

"Dao Origin appears to have unearthed a gem..."

The Star Empress regained her composure, a faint smile gracing her lips as her eyes turned once more, catching the dread force surging in the youth's realm, which not only demolished his immediate space but even... influenced parallel spaces in alternate timelines on the same floor!

If the Heaven Tower served as a testing arena, it was like shattering the arena's boundaries!

"Such potent invasive force, such alarming scope, almost endless..."

The Star Empress muttered softly, suddenly eager to witness the full extent of the challenger's realm expansion, its ultimate vastness!

But sound judgment prompted her decision, to let the challenger ascend to loftier floors where emperor artifact might grew denser and space firmer, thus revealing the challenger's true bounds.

Her imperial intent projected forth, and the Heaven Tower swiftly understood.

"Looks like this round's ten king positions could gain a fresh contender."

The Star Empress laughed lightly.

With those words, she offhandedly relayed the Heaven Tower's internal views to the Immortal Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Immortal Emperor scanned them rapidly, then froze unexpectedly, his eyes widening briefly before he burst into booming laughter, as if unburdened.

"That Dao Origin fellow, now it makes sense, haha..."

At the same time, in a separate dimension across the Heaven Tower's hundred layers.

"Hmm?"

A War Clan Immortal King, at the pinnacle of Immortal King Realm, clashed with a Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon when abruptly, the ambient space trembled, reality twisted, and their intertwined domains were wrenched apart by force.

"What?!"

The War Clan Immortal King recoiled in shock, staring upward in disbelief. He hadn't been defeated, so why would the All Heavens Tower meddle in his fight?

Quickly, he realized both his domain and the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon's were under assault from some horrifying energy, eroding from the borders and starting to dissolve, as though devoured!

A dreadful cold gripped his frame, like an unseen entity from abyssal depths baring ravenous jaws around them, positioning them amid grinding fangs poised to pulverize in the next breath!

The cold felt vividly real yet oddly shielded, as if some nightmarish presence encircled them.

"What's happening?"

The War Clan Immortal King felt confused. Was this another trial element?

Within the All Heavens Tower.

Li Hao remained absorbed in fusing the seven Fake Realm Hearts when suddenly, an unmatched Emperor's Will descended into his domain.

"Do you wish to advance to the next floor?"

Li Hao's eyes snapped open, revealing a rift torn open in his domain by sheer force.

Furthermore, this rift had cleaved his domain with ease, like a razor parting tender bean curd!

"The next floor?"

Li Hao inwardly marveled at the All Heavens Tower Emperor Artifact's overwhelming might, then observed the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon's absence, the encircling heaven and earth gone, leaving him isolated in this empty void.

Via his domain, he faintly detected void energies, plus other presences, likely from fellow challengers.

"The Quasi-Emperor... isn't as daunting as I thought."

Li Hao reflected on the prior events, abruptly grasping that the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon fell short of his fears, far from matching an Emperor.

Quasi-Emperors simply refine and push worldly laws to their utmost.

Still, they remain bound within the True Realm.

His seven Realm Hearts, fused into the King's Domain, held not just Nine Orders Power and Ten Thousand Dao Laws, but through fusion, ascended to the apex, the Ten Layers of Perfection!

Thus, inside the domain, his fighting prowess matched Quasi-Emperor tier!

"This marks the King's Domain..."

Li Hao surveyed his surroundings, beholding the domain sprawling like a cosmos, feeling the seven Realm Hearts' fused power hadn't fully manifested yet!

"Maybe fusing just four Realm Hearts could have toppled that Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon..."

Li Hao pondered silently.

After a quick deliberation, he chose to move to the next floor.

On the 101st floor, a single Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon awaited, unchanged in quantity from before.

Nevertheless, Li Hao distinctly noted this one's aura carried greater intensity than its predecessor.

"Realm pinnacle doesn't mean immortal power pinnacle; this Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon's immortal power feels purer!"

Li Hao's gaze sharpened, and without delay, he unleashed his domain.

This round, he opted to fuse Realm Hearts in pairs.

Earlier, the Chaos Boundary Heart linked with the Formless World Heart to form the Primordial Great Void Realm.

Now, Li Hao combined the Void Realm Heart with the Formless World Heart, yielding the Dark Annihilation Realm.

The Void's piercing quality and Formless's elusive trait ensured anything entering this domain faced total destruction.

"So powerful..."

As the Realm Hearts united, Li Hao abruptly grasped the dread of parallel realms!

Each Realm Heart could pair with any of the other six, evolving into novel domains!

Seven Realm Hearts allowed twenty-one pairings for two-way fusions!

Not counting three-way or four-way fusions, the possibilities ballooned beyond imagination!

When all seven Realm Hearts converged, encompassing every aspect, it mirrored all prior pairings' evolutions combined, explaining why his earlier domain resembled a genuine universe!

"This represents one facet of multiple realms' might..."

Li Hao's heart quaked; this Emperor Road proved so arduous, no surprise myriad Immortal Emperor reincarnations failed to conquer it!

During the thirty-six Realm Heart fusion trials, the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon confronting Li Hao grew disoriented by the domain's erratic shifts.

Still, two-Realm-Heart pairings failed to deliver a deadly blow to the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon.

Three-Realm-Heart fusions amplified the changes further, yet still couldn't inflict fatal harm on the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon.

Upon adding the fourth Realm Heart, the variations multiplied.

And the domain from four fused Realm Hearts promptly overwhelmed the oncoming Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon, with a handful of alterations finishing it off entirely.

Press on, to the subsequent layer.

As Li Hao kept ascending, his domain's ceaseless mutations drew the gaze of the Immortal Immortal Emperor and the Star Empress.

Both revealed traces of wonder in their eyes.

This youth... could he truly have... walked that forbidden path?!
