Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1892 Chapter 507: All Heavens Ranking Third, Emperor's Extreme Tao Heart (2)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
"What if I merged those freshly formed realms together..."
While endlessly merging them, Li Hao came up with an idea: if he merged the fresh realms born from those mergers, the results would turn out truly frightening.
Plus, the possibilities for mergers would stretch to "infinite" levels!
Right now, his realm mergers, such as chaos mixed with 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 holds the Great Void Primordial Realm.
Should the base realm stay free after a merger, endless mergers could keep happening. Fresh mergers would link with more fresh ones, and the born new realm would link with additional new realms, sparking boundless growth and strengthening!
"Once I finish the last stage of my Emperor Dao, perhaps it might actually work..."
Li Hao pictured it all inside his mind.
Should he truly hit that stage, the might of the Emperor Dao would defy imagination!
The Emperor Dao defies inheritance, though its groundwork can be passed on.
For example, the Infinity from the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor bolsters the base. Though no one can reach the Final Realm like the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor or forge an Emperor Road path, it delivers a massively potent boost anyway.
Should Li Hao refine the Emperor Road perfectly, he could share this technique with others. They might not forge the Emperor Road, but with sharp enough insight, they could hit Li Hao's present strength, towering over peers in the same realm.
"Realm Heart fusion—how to hold onto the core Realm Heart..."
"Reflection... Realm Heart reflection..."
Through nonstop breakthroughs, Li Hao slowly slipped into deep enlightenment.
Time raced ahead.
Li Hao's form kept blending realms to surge toward higher stages.
At the 130th level, six Realm Hearts demanded combination.
By the 140th level, seven Realm Hearts had to merge into the King's Domain and universe.
Thanks to the "universe" realm, Li Hao shot forward rapidly, battling to the 155th level until fatigue started to set in.
Out in the world, chaos had already exploded into wild excitement.
The All Heavens list rankings shifted dramatically; four or five unknown names popped up in what was once a locked top ten.
The standout among them was a Seventh Level Immortal King Realm figure, sparking heated talks among Heaven Tower failures.
Spotting that name, Chaos Ancient Clan folks clenched their jaws.
That name rang too familiar, having rocked the Primordial True Realm before. Hitting 69 stars in a single day had rattled countless groups.
No one saw this bold showing coming in the True King selection.
"He actually..."
Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang had stepped out already. They pulled back on day nine and caught sight of Li Hao's name upon leaving, which left them a bit dazed.
Even after draining their foundations, they only hit the 126th and 127th levels, landing at 31st and 32nd spots now. But Li Hao climbed to the 155th level, snagging third place!
Di Mingyuan, who started at first, got bumped down to seventh.
The top five all cleared past the 150th level.
This showed that half the Quasi-Emperor Realm experts in the True Realm couldn't touch them!
And they remained mere Immortal King Realm cultivators!
"He was just at level 60 earlier..."
Su Wanyi stood frozen, as the image she'd nearly forgotten burst back into view—so vivid and dazzling.
Luo Ningshuang reeled in surprise too, having pegged the young man as average now, only to witness his years-quiet return explode in such over-the-top fashion.
Third place, and his realm wasn't even fully honed yet!
As moments ticked by in Heaven Tower, right when Li Hao geared up to deploy True God Blood and Infinite Emperor Skill, the scene ahead of him halted abruptly, then a power wrapped around him and ejected him from Heaven Tower.
"The ten-day trial has concluded."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor's voice boomed overhead, ringing through the Abyss.
Li Hao glanced about to see the Abyss crammed with bodies, all yanked out from Heaven Tower.
He twisted to look, spotting folks eyeing him and 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 felt confused at first, then recalled his level tally. He looked skyward and saw his third-place spot on the Heaven Tower list, with 155 levels.
Over him sat two others, one Shi Miao in second at 162 levels.
First place blew minds, hitting 190 levels!
Just ten levels shy of Quasi-Emperor Perfection, wielding strength rivaling an Emperor.
Though the leap from 199 to 200 levels dwarfed 1 to 199, it stood as the ultimate might short of Emperor status!
"Nearing Emperor level..."
Li Hao eyed the All Heavens list peak, his expression grave.
Even without tapping True God Blood and Infinite Emperor Skill yet, he doubted using them would bridge to 190 levels.
"The True King selection's first round wraps up; top hundred in Heaven Tower advance to the next four trials; top twenty overall from those four trials enter the True King duel fight!"
The Immortal Immortal Emperor's tone cut sharp and icy. With a hand flick, Divine Light burst forth, unveiling four golden panels in the sky: Tao Heart, combat power, benevolence and evil, battle strategy!
"Second round entrants, step into Heaven Tower now for the first trial, Tao Heart!"
Declared the Immortal Immortal Emperor.
Clearly, the trials allowed no break; the outside world suffered the Ancient Demon disaster, with scant time to spare.
Inside Heaven Tower, the hundredth-level doors yawned open like a devouring black hole, ready for those stepping in.
"In this round, besides myself and Star, eight other Emperors judge; let everyone display their worth."
