Di Mingyuan revealed his True God Blood and an Emperor Bone, dramatically increasing his power. He then challenged Li Hao. Though Shi Miao offered to fight in Li Hao's place, Li Hao accepted the challenge, hoping to gain insight into the final step of the Emperor Dao. The battle began with both combatants displaying powerful domains, but Di Mingyuan's Emperor Bone allowed him to suppress Li Hao's domain.

"By condensing Emperor Bone to forge the Emperor's Momentum, this sword is formidable even for a Quasi-Emperor to contend with!"

"This feels exceedingly unfair; can such immense power truly be wielded so easily on the battlefield?"

As the ancestral elders and Quasi-Emperor experts from various clans bore witness, their expressions grew grave upon observing this strike.

They sensed that even with their Quasi-Emperor Cultivation, enduring this sword blow would result in grievous injuries, with some possibly finding it unbearable!

The supreme sword pressure fractured the void, completely engulfing Li Hao's form. In that moment, the resplendent cosmos bled all color, resembling fragile marbles on the verge of shattering.

"The Final Realm has been invoked, the Seven Realms have coalesced, and the cosmos is laid bare. What further stratagems do you possess?"

Wan Jijun, Divine Venerable, Dao Qingyin, and the others focused intently on this critical juncture; Li Hao, situated at the Seventh Level of the Immortal King Realm, commanded the Ultimate Realm Power, a mastery that Di Mingyuan also possessed!

Di Mingyuan, furthermore, had achieved a more perfect grasp of the Original Dao Realm.

Now, the might of this Emperor Bone sword possessed the capacity to cleave through the cosmos, and the outcome was all but decided.

In silence, fragmentation permeated the view before everyone; Li Hao's Cosmic Realm Domain commenced its dissolution from the periphery, and upon contact with the Emperor Sword, it rapidly disintegrated like snow succumbing to a scorching sun.

Countless fundamental laws fractured amidst the disintegration; to Li Hao's perception, the meticulously constructed cosmos he had woven offered no defense!

"It is overwhelming, beyond defense, even with power disseminated across the realm, it remains insurmountable…"

Li Hao watched, stunned, as his Cosmic Realm Domain fractured for the very first time, revealing stark, desolate fissures that rapidly dissolved before him, instilling a subtle sense of imperfection.

Yet, any attempt at mending was now futile; the cosmos lay in ruins, how could it possibly resist?

A vast vortex of Time Power enveloped Li Hao, and in a flash, this instant seemed to transform into an effulgence eternal!

Employing the Painting Dao Domain, he invoked the Power of Time Reversal!

Though true temporal reversal was beyond reach under the onslaught of this Emperor Sword, it granted Li Hao a momentary window for a counteroffensive.

Utilizing Extreme Dao Chaos, he unleashed the Infinite Emperor Skill!

As the Emperor Technique bestowed upon Li Hao by the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, this was the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's most guarded skill, surpassing even the mastery of the Tao Origin Immortal Seal!

And Li Hao had already advanced it to the Third Stage of amplification, reaching Twelve Layers!

The terrifying efficacy of this amplification lay in its profound ability to augment all foundational aspects.

Li Hao's initial five thousand drops of True God Blood instantly surged by a factor of twelve, totaling an astounding sixty thousand drops of True God Blood!

A torrent of Divine Soul Power erupted instantly, blanketing the battle platform like a boundless canopy, as a resplendent, golden True God materialized from Li Hao's being, gazing heavenward, its attention fixed directly upon the imperial phantom looming behind Di Mingyuan!

The distant confrontation saw their auras clash, utterly unyielding, perhaps even demonstrating superiority!

Resembling an awe-inspiring deity, it battled in all directions, projecting formidable Divine Soul Power that pierced through the Barrier of the battle platform, causing everyone within the Heaven Tower to experience a dreadful, soul-crushing pressure, as if gazing upon a higher existence, akin to revering a Quasi-Emperor… nay, perhaps even a pinnacle Quasi-Emperor radiating incandescent power!

Merely the aura alone made all present tremble; it bore mention that every individual here was an expert at the peak of the Immortal King Realm.

"Burn…"

Within that fleeting thought, the power of time reversal dissipated, the Emperor Sword descended, and concurrently, Li Hao's True God began to radiate an intensely dazzling luminescence.

The incineration of sixty thousand drops of True God Blood blazed with unparalleled brilliance, bestowing upon Li Hao an unprecedented surge of power, akin to a star exploding internally, utterly uncontainable, compelled only to erupt outward.

"Break!!!"

He raised his hand, eschewing any Emperor Skill or intricate maneuver, and delivered a direct punch.

The golden fist projection of the True God, whistling through the air like a fiery meteor, swiftly met the descending Emperor Sword.

In that instant, the Cosmic Realm Domain completely shattered, and the resulting shockwave propagated outward, leaving scorched black marks etched into the void within the battle platform.

This was the very space contained within the Heaven Tower, a space fortified by this Emperor's Weapon, and it had now been fractured.

Di Mingyuan's eyes widened in disbelief; the awakened Emperor Bone within him seemed outmatched by the young man's complete and fervent burning of his True God!

A devastating blow sent him hurtling, crashing against the battle platform's barrier. His domain fractured, muscles and bones pulverized into a bloody pulp. Blood erupted outward as his Emperor Bone dimmed, his flesh rapidly disintegrating. It couldn't withstand the lingering impact, nor the excessive consumption that overdrawn his soul's life force!

Yet, within the arena, the young man blazed with golden light, suspended in mid-air. Though his domain was shattered, he himself resembled a War God breaking through cosmic shackles, radiating an even more fearsome might that caused souls to tremble profoundly!

"This… this is…"

The myriad clans observing the battle were utterly stunned, their gazes fixed on the unfolding scene, disbelief etched across their faces.

Star Empress and Immortal Immortal Emperor narrowed their eyes slightly. While their expressions remained composed, they let out soft sighs, feeling that the scion of the Emperor Clan was still far too impatient.

His opponent was that disciple, the most clandestine Emperor Skill of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor—a technique considered a second pathway on the Emperor Road. If not for a terrifying Curse that afflicted him, he would have been an existence unmatched among Immortal Emperors!

And Li Hao, as his disciple, was merely at the Immortal King Realm. It was unlikely he could cultivate to that supreme level, but even reaching halfway would be sufficient to dominate within the same cultivation tier.

"Dao Origin…"

Upon the ancestral mountain of the Emperor Clan, countless individuals watched the spectacle. Many disciples of the Emperor Clan were incredulous and filled with sheer astonishment.

Wasn't the strongest power displayed by that youth his King's Domain, a fusion of seven paramount realms?

How could such power shatter his domain?

However, numerous ancestors of the Emperor Clan had indeed heard whispers of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's most secret technique. Their eyes held deep regret, extinguishing the faint glimmer of hope they had clung to in that moment.
