Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1892 - 507: All Heavens Ranking Third, Emperor’s Extreme Tao Heart (2)

"What if I merged those freshly formed realms together..."

As he kept merging realms nonstop, Li Hao started to think that blending the fresh realms born from those merges could lead to something truly frightening.

On top of that, the possibilities for such merges would turn out to be "endless"!

Right now, his merges of realms, such as chaos and formlessness, give birth to the Great Void Primordial Realm. Yet, the Great Void Primordial Realm won't merge further with the Chaos Realm since the Chaos Realm already includes the Great Void Primordial Realm.

Should the starting realm stay free after a merge, then merges could go on without limit. Fresh merges keep linking with other fresh merges, and the new realms they create keep linking with more new realms, sparking endless growth and power boosts!

"Maybe if I finish the last part of my Emperor Dao, I could actually pull it off..."

Li Hao pictured it all in his mind.

Should he manage to get there for real, the might of the Emperor Dao would defy imagination!

The Emperor Dao defies inheritance, though its groundwork can be passed on.

Take the Infinity from the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, for example—it bolsters the base. Sure, no one can climb to the Final Realm like the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor or forge an Emperor Road path, but it delivers a massively potent upgrade anyway.

Should Li Hao refine the Emperor Road to perfection, he might share this technique with others. They couldn't form the Emperor Road themselves, but with sharp enough insight, they could hit Li Hao's present strength, towering over peers in the same realm.

"Realm Heart merging—how do I keep the core Realm Heart intact..."

"Reflection... Realm Heart reflection..."

Through nonstop breakthroughs, Li Hao slowly slipped into a deep epiphany.

Moments raced ahead.

Li Hao's form kept blending realms to surge toward higher stages.

At the 130th stage, combining six Realm Hearts became necessary.

Hitting the 140th stage required merging seven Realm Hearts to craft the King's Domain and universe.

Thanks to the "universe" realm, Li Hao shot up fast, battling to the 155th stage until fatigue finally set in.

Beyond the tower, the realm buzzed with wild excitement.

Massive shifts rocked the All Heavens list rankings; four or five unknown names now dotted the once-stable top ten.

The standout among them sat at the Seventh Level of the Immortal King Realm, sparking heated debates among those knocked out by the Heaven Tower.

Spotting that name had the Chaos Ancient Clan folk clenching their jaws.

They knew that name all too well—it had once rocked the Primordial True Realm. Hitting 69 stars in a single day had riled up countless groups.

Nobody saw this kind of spotlight-stealing show coming in the True King trials.

"He actually..."

Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang had stepped out already. They'd pulled back on day nine, and upon leaving, they caught sight of Li Hao's name, which left them a bit dazed.

Even after draining their foundations dry, they'd only made it to the 126th and 127th stages, landing at 31st and 32nd spots now. But Li Hao had stormed to the 155th, claiming third place!

Di Mingyuan, who'd held first before, got bumped down to seventh.

The leading five all cleared past the 150th stage.

That meant half the Quasi-Emperor Realm experts in the True Realm couldn't touch them!

And these were just Immortal King Realm fighters!

"He was barely at level 60 earlier..."

Su Wanyi stood frozen, as the image she'd nearly forgotten burst back into her thoughts—shining so vividly and boldly.

Luo Ningshuang reeled too, having figured the young man had turned average, only for his comeback after years in the shadows to explode with such drama.

Third place, and his realm hadn't even fully formed yet!

While time ticked on inside the Heaven Tower, just as Li Hao geared up to unleash his True God Blood and Infinite Emperor Skill, the scene around him halted abruptly, and soon a power wrapped him up, ejecting him from the Heaven Tower.

"The ten-day trial is over."

The Immortal Immortal Emperor's voice boomed from above, ringing through the Abyss.

Li Hao scanned his surroundings and saw the Abyss crammed with people, all yanked out from the Heaven Tower.

He turned to look and spotted folks eyeing him, then backing away on instinct, wary of drawing near.

In a flash, a wide empty zone formed around him as crowds gawked in awe.

Li Hao blinked in confusion, then recalled his stage tally. Glancing upward, he confirmed his third ranking on the Heaven Tower list, with 155 stages cleared.

Just two spots above sat Shi Miao in second, at 162 stages.

First place blew minds, hitting a whopping 190 stages!

Merely ten stages shy of Quasi-Emperor completion, wielding strength rivaling an Emperor's.

Though the leap from 199 to 200 stages dwarfed the climb from 1 to 199, it still marked the peak might short of true Emperor status!

"So near to Emperor level..."

Li Hao eyed the All Heavens list summit, his expression turning grave.

He hadn't tapped into his True God Blood or Infinite Emperor Skill yet, and even if he did, reaching 190 seemed out of reach.

"The True King trials' first phase wraps up; top hundred from the Heaven Tower advance to the remaining four challenges—the top twenty overall from those four will clash in the True King showdown!"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor's words cut sharp and icy. With a flick of his hand, radiant Divine Light flared, unveiling four golden panels in the sky: Tao Heart, combat power, benevolence and evil, battle strategy!

"The second round starters, step into the Heaven Tower for the initial trial: Tao Heart!"

Declared the Immortal Immortal Emperor.

Clearly, no break came with the tests; the outer world wrestled with the Ancient Demon disaster, time too scarce for pauses.

Inside the Heaven Tower, doors at the hundredth stage yawned open like a devouring black hole, ready for those who dared enter.

"For this phase, besides me and Star, eight more Emperors judge; let everyone put on a strong display."
