Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1680 Chapter 423: Familiar Faces from the Southern Domain, Opening the Chaos Dao! (Triple Combo)

With a booming voice and a gaze locked firmly onto his adversary, he showed not a single trace of retreat.

The surrounding spectators were stunned by his words. Even those residing outside the Southern Domain understood exactly who the "Supreme" was.

Was this youth truly claiming he would settle a debt with the Supreme?

That was an Immortal Emperor!

The elder gripping the chopping knife cast a freezing stare, his killing intent surging as his knuckles seemed to whiten around the handle.

Li Hao remained silent, immediately manifesting the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul. Holding the fractured Emperor’s Weapon and the Life-breaking Realm Core bestowed by his senior brother, he felt no fear whatsoever.

"Go ahead and strike. If it weren't for the Prohibition in this place, do you honestly believe you could defeat us?"

Shi Miao glared at the man, her eyes transforming into a hazy, heptachromatic radiance as a powerful aura of Time Power radiated from her form.

The elder's expression shifted slightly as he pulled back his aura, letting out a cold grunt. "If the laws of Chaos Star didn't forbid combat, I would have used the blood of you two to consecrate my blade this very day."

Shi Miao responded with a frigid sneer, unwilling to waste further breath on him.

Had fighting been permitted, she would never have stood by while Li Hao was insulted; she would have exhausted her foundation to slay the man.

Regardless, she had etched this opponent into her memory.

"If you aren't going to fight, then shut your mouths. You're being too loud!"

Nearby, a young man at the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm spoke up with a frown, his face twisted in annoyance.

Ming Yue snapped back at him, "What business is it of yours? If it's too noisy for you, feel free to walk further away."

The Perfect Immortal Monarch youth glanced her way and smirked disdainfully. "Do you actually have the guts to accept a challenge from me?"

Ming Yue’s face faltered. The man was at the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm and had likely been Cultivation here for ages—even as a direct disciple of the Supreme, she might not be his equal yet.

"I'll show you whether I dare or not once my realm catches up," she countered with a sneer.

The youth merely scoffed, not bothering to continue the argument.

Sword Heart, however, ignored the others and kept his eyes on Li Hao. "Are you truly bent on seeking death? With your talent and your Sword Dao, if you had simply bowed your head back then, you wouldn't be in this predicament today."

He felt a flicker of pity for Li Hao. Though they stood on opposing sides, Li Hao’s Sword Dao had left a deep impression on him back in the Southern Domain.

Li Hao let out a sharp, mocking laugh upon hearing those words.

"You are always telling people to lower their heads—why don't you ever suggest that the one above should raise their hand? Why must you insist on crushing others and forcing them to bow?"

Before Sword Heart could respond, Li Hao added icily, "But don't bother with advice; that hand pressing down on me... sooner or later, I will sever it myself!!"

Ming Yue was incensed. "My master is an Immortal Emperor—do you honestly believe you can challenge him? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to reach that stage? Even if you become an Immortal Emperor, you still might be no match for my master!"

Li Hao gave her a brief look but remained silent. An Immortal Emperor was indeed a distant goal, but he was moving toward that peak one step at a time.

He turned away, dismissing them entirely, as further debate was pointless.

Sword Heart studied Li Hao intensely before raising a hand to silence his sister. He shook his head slowly. "The closer he gets to that level, the more he will understand the meaning of true despair. There is no need for more words."

He then addressed Li Hao one last time: "My offer stands—whenever you reach our level, you can challenge us. I will settle that account with you!"

Li Hao’s focus shifted to the stone wall etched with cracks of law. He didn't bother saying "you aren't worthy" anymore, choosing instead to focus on what actually mattered.

Sword Heart didn't care whether Li Hao listened or not; he simply sat back down with Ming Yue.

Li Hao’s eyes were now locked onto the fractures in the laws. Countless Great Dao Origins were hidden within them. Since he had already mastered the Nine Order Dao, deducing them was within his reach, making perception relatively simple.

However, the Chaotic Power swirling within the cracks was like a shifting tide, containing incredibly intricate law properties and remnants of various Daos.

As Li Hao stared intently, a flash of insight began to dawn on him.

The basics have been learned. Should they be recorded?

Suddenly, a notification manifested before his eyes.
