Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1679 Chapter 423: Familiar Faces from the Southern Domain, Opening the Chaos Dao! (Triple Combo)

"Things aren't that straightforward. To truly grasp the Chaos Law, you must perceive three distinct Chaos Stars and merge them together!"

Shi Miao explained, "Gaining insight into a single Chaos Star provides only a shallow grasp of the Chaos Dao. For instance, if you achieve full comprehension of this Chaos Sword Star, your Sword Dao will merely evolve into the Chaos Sword Dao. You would still remain a great distance away from mastering the Chaos Law itself."

Li Hao was momentarily lost for words, realizing that the path to the Chaos Law was far more complex than he had previously imagined.

Had his sixth senior sister, Di Lingshu, really managed to comprehend a Chaos Star in just three short years?

In that moment, Li Hao couldn't help but offer her a silent gesture of deep respect in his heart.

While he was lost in his thoughts, a voice filled with slight astonishment suddenly echoed:

"You people actually came here too?"

Li Hao found the voice familiar. Turning around, he spotted two figures rising to their feet. One wore a complicated expression, while the other seemed surprised, yet possessed eyes as deep and calm as a vast ocean.

Li Hao hadn't expected that so soon after arriving, he would cross paths with Sword Heart and Ming Yue, the opponents he had fought during the Southern Domain conflict.

Standing behind the pair was a gaunt old man clad in a conical hat and gripping a firewood knife. He appeared to be nothing more than a simple, rustic villager.

However, Li Hao sensed a lethally sharp and terrifying aura radiating from him.

"You're still alive..."

The expressions of Sword Heart and Ming Yue shifted slightly upon noticing Shi Miao. They remembered clearly how this young girl had been completely crushed by their master’s hand.

How could anyone survive a direct blow from a Supreme?

Yet, there she stood, entirely unharmed. Furthermore, in the span of just over twenty years, she had already broken through to the Immortal King Realm!

Shi Miao gave the two a brief look before fixing her serious gaze on the old man with the firewood knife.

"I assumed you would be too arrogant to step foot in the Primordial True Realm. I'm surprised you showed up, though unfortunately, you've arrived too late."

Sword Heart shifted his attention to Li Hao, his eyes regaining their composure as he remarked, "In over twenty years, you have only progressed by three realms in the outside world. Given your talent as a hundred-year soul life Tianjiao, you ought to have reached at least the Fifth Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm by now..."

Following those words, Li Hao finally sensed that both Sword Heart and Ming Yue had ascended to the Immortal Monarch Realm, reaching the Fifth Level!

"Whether it is three layers or five, it makes no difference when it comes to defeating you."

Li Hao replied with total indifference.

Hearing Li Hao's dismissive tone, Ming Yue, who stood slightly behind Sword Heart, let out a cold sneer, her expression darkening:

"You certainly know how to boast! Do you believe things are still the same as twenty years ago? This is your very first Chaos Star, isn't it? I don't detect even a trace of chaos aura on you. You clearly don't understand the massive gulf between the Primordial True Realm and the regular True Realm. Spending twenty years of Cultivation here is worth more than two hundred or even two thousand years in the True Realm!"

Li Hao arched his brows, but Shi Miao interjected before he could say a word, stating coldly:

"You dare to act so prideful just because you've grasped a tiny, superficial fragment of the Chaos Dao?"

Ming Yue’s face turned pale with anger, yet she found herself unable to lash out against Shi Miao.

After their previous battle, they had sought information from their master and the elders of the Heavenly Palace regarding Shi Miao's background.

This monster in the Immortal Monarch Realm, who had appeared briefly only to easily dominate the quasi-Emperor’s Son of the Emperor Clan, was a legendary figure of the True Realm from ten millennia ago—a premier Tianjiao of her era.

Knowing her history of accomplishments, they understood that even in an age teeming with geniuses, she was a figure sought after by the most elite tribes, far beyond their own status.

Furthermore, she had already crossed the river of time; her actual realm had long reached the Quasi-Emperor Level, and she was considered top-tier even among her peers.

"Hmph, knowing a little is still better than being completely ignorant."

After a long silence, Ming Yue managed a final sneer.

She knew she couldn't compare to Shi Miao, but she was certain she was more powerful than the current Li Hao.

Relying solely on his natural talent, Li Hao had refused to become a disciple of the Immortal Emperor and had avoided the Primordial True Realm, oblivious to the fact that he was squandering his potential.

Li Hao glanced at the pair, feeling too indifferent to argue. He turned his head away, choosing to ignore them completely.

Sword Heart then added, "If you still hold a grudge over what happened with our master, then come find us. Once your cultivation level catches up to ours, you are more than welcome to challenge us!"

Li Hao, who had already turned back to decipher the law on the stone wall, felt a sudden flash of killing intent in his eyes.

He turned back, his gaze cold enough to freeze blood as he stared directly at Sword Heart and said:

"This debt is not something you are worthy of settling!"

The expressions of Sword Heart and Ming Yue morphed into a mixture of shock and fury.

"Young man, watch your tongue. Do you truly intend to settle accounts with a Supreme?"

At that moment, the old man with the firewood knife tilted his head up, revealing a weathered face. His squinted eyes flashed with a lethal sharpness, and a powerful Immortal King aura began to surge from him.

The surrounding cultivators were disturbed by the commotion and turned to watch the conflict.

"How noisy."

A young man sitting at the front of the group suddenly opened his eyes and snorted in annoyance.

He was clearly at the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm, radiating a suppressed but domineering presence.

Behind him sat a bald elder in white robes, meditating with closed eyes like a monk. Upon hearing the youth, the elder slowly looked up, casting a warning glance toward Li Hao and Sword Heart.

The old man with the firewood knife ignored the warning, keeping his eyes locked on Li Hao. "Little friend, why have you gone quiet?"

As he spoke, his pressure intensified, attempting to force Li Hao to his knees with a blatant threat.

Li Hao looked at him deeply, completely unfazed by the crushing momentum. Instead, he took a step forward and barked: "What? Do I need the permission of an old dog like you to settle scores with the Supreme?!"
