Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1909 - 512: The Embryonic Form of Emperor Dao (2)

"Emperor Dao of Multiple Realms—truly, such figures exist on our cultivation path!"

"The reincarnation of a Quasi-Emperor has been vanquished. Little wonder he ascended to such profound heights at the Seventh Layer of the Immortal King Realm!"

"What an immense power; could it be that Emperor Dao can be practiced even at the Immortal King Realm?!"

Everyone stood dumbfounded, gazing at Li Hao. The might he unleashed had fully dispelled their uncertainties, soothing the turbulent emotions of numerous contenders in the top twenty.

"Incredibly formidable—fortunate we didn't act rashly and sided with him promptly."

An elder from the Dao Clan drew a heavy breath and remarked.

Dao Qingyin's stunningly exquisite and immaculate visage grew grave as she declared, "There must be something extraordinary at play with this freak! Without the Emperor's reincarnation dominating the True King selection, he might have vied for the top spot!"

"It appears even Di Mingyuan of the Emperor Clan falls short."

The remaining Immortal Kings of the Dao Clan let out sighs, pondering that youth with intense focus.

Within the Emperor Clan, Di Mingyuan's countenance turned grim. As the present successor of the Emperor Clan, the recent clash Li Hao engaged in left him filled with doubt.

Furthermore, that youth had clearly not unleashed his full potential!

"No King can match him nowadays; amid disasters, even more fearsome Extreme Realm powerhouses emerge."

Voices from the major clans whispered, their faces showing intricate mixtures of awe and complexity.

Spectators from lesser clans in the clan domain felt both astonishment and joy; a more potent True King meant better prospects for guiding them through conflicts. The True Realm now brimmed with the fires of war, desperately requiring a push to alter the frontlines.

"The challenges persist!"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor announced in a frosty tone.

Li Hao and Wan Jijun were shifted from the combat platform, enveloped by an immense and mysterious force that soothed Li Hao's surging energy without any depletion, restoring his faintly scorched Divine Blood to fullness as though time itself had turned back.

Wan Jijun experienced the identical effect, yet his look carried a hint of frustration. He cast a profound glance at Li Hao but remained silent.

The rest traded glances before selecting their adversaries.

Shi Miao engaged in combats and issued challenges, swiftly climbing to the tenth position.

"What rank are you aiming for?"

Upon the platform, Shen Jueling, heir to the Ancient God Clan, confronted Shi Miao.

Shi Miao eyed the leaderboard nearby, aware that the top spot belonged to that Emperor's reincarnated form.

She recognized the slim chances against the reincarnated foe, but beyond that...

"No less than second place."

Shi Miao responded.

Shen Jueling's gaze hardened; though he anticipated her ambitious goal, he hadn't foreseen her dismissing all others save the Emperor's reincarnation. Yet, observing her seamless triumphs, he perceived her alarming strength.

Prior to ascending the stage, he had obtained bloodline transmissions from his clan; this female was the rebirth of a Quasi-Emperor from millennia past, a King in her prior life. Her present combat prowess exceeded even Wan Jijun's.

"A Quasi-Emperor who endured the catastrophe from ten thousand years back—reveal your authentic domain to me!"

Shen Jueling locked eyes with Shi Miao intently.

Surrendering immediately to conserve power and hide details might be prudent, but the honor of the Ancient God Clan and his own dignity forbade it.

"Even against you, it's unattainable."

Shi Miao stated flatly, without scorn or slight, merely conveying the truth.

With those words, she wasted no more time, as Time Dao Laws swirled about her.

Her domain expanded, though not in its genuine form.

Nevertheless, a King's aura radiated clearly, laced with dreadfully potent Time Dao might, intertwined with cycles of rebirth.

Shen Jueling's face shifted, promptly igniting his Ancient God Clan lineage, unleashing waves of Extreme Realm and Ultimate Realm forces, while his domain unfurled, manifesting an archaic Divine Emperor's image behind him, looming massively in his domain.

His domain consisted of the Divine Sea Realm Territory, integrating more than a hundred domains, albeit none of supreme caliber. Still, the amalgamation of over a hundred rendered his domain with an aura akin to a King's Domain.

"Heavens above, a King's Domain—and both are Kings!"

"The Ancient God Clan sits at tenth, yet wields a King's Domain; how formidable must those higher up be!"

"King's Domains vary in potency too, as seen with Wan Jijun before—who can tell which prevails?"

Countless eyes bulged wide; this confrontation offered a supreme chance for cultivation insights. Capturing even a fragment could vastly enhance their progress, perhaps why the Emperors permitted the True Realm's myriad races to observe.

"My domain remains incomplete; once I master merging countless domains, I could shatter even a King's Domain in a flash!"

Arrogance gleamed in Shen Jueling's eyes. As an heir of a mighty clan, all pursued their unique ways, honed to extremes, convinced of their parity with any.

"If it's imperfect, keep refining your cultivation."

Shi Miao declared, her domain projecting the burden of temporal inversion, engulfing it and causing the Divine Sea Realm Territory's radiance to fade abruptly, as if shrouded in shadow, savagely ripping away every strand of Divine Light.

Moreover, Shen Jueling's cultivation, at the pinnacle of Immortal King, began to waver and regress.

Terror flickered in Shen Jueling's eyes; he hadn't anticipated his foe's Time Dao to wield such horror, impacting him directly.

"Time Dao—I've attained the Tenth Layer as well; whom do you think you're belittling?"

Shen Jueling bellowed lowly, channeling Time Dao Laws through the Divine Sea to counter the inverting pressure.

Shi Miao's face stayed impassive, save for a speckled glow flashing on her brow, which made the Time Dao Law energies in the Divine Sea Realm Territory crumble at once, followed by a merciless surge that swiftly blanketed layer upon layer of Divine Light.
