Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1706 Chapter 430: No Bottleneck, 23 Chaos Laws Rampage!

"Is our junior brother truly this formidable?"

Di Lingshu and the others exchanged glances in disbelief. Although they were aware that Li Hao had refined the Chaos Law, they had not anticipated such overwhelming power. His Primordial Spirit Power, in particular, was staggering; even without seeing it manifested, they could sense that Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit had already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Monarch Realm.

"Wu Ming's Primordial Spirit was completely incinerated. Haotian’s Primordial Spirit Power must surely exceed the strength of a thousand Primordial Spirit Golden Bones!"

"A thousand Primordial Spirit Golden Bones—what kind of prehistoric monster are we dealing with?"

Shock rippled through the crowd as many began to look at Li Hao with mounting dread.

Scanning his surroundings, Li Hao noticed several gazes filled with murderous intent, all originating from members of the Chaos Ancient Clan. In contrast, the other representatives of the Human Race showed no such hostility.

"That Original Immortal Emperor was a subordinate of the Chaos Ancient Clan; is it possible he was acting on their commands?"

Li Hao’s eyes flickered with suspicion. "But why would the Chaos Ancient Clan allow a member of the Human Race to participate in a blood fight... unless the rewards offered were simply too great to refuse?"

He reflected on this for a moment, resolving to seek his master’s counsel later. Perhaps there was a method to investigate further; the mystery of the hidden mastermind left him feeling unsettled.

With the combat concluded, Li Hao deactivated the power of his Carving Arts. His cultivation level receded, returning to the Third Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm. He gave a respectful nod to Di Lingshu and his senior brothers and sisters before exiting the protective barrier of the Chaos Dao Arena.

"That individual was being dishonest. You should ask your master to perform a calculation to uncover the truth," Shi Miao suggested as she approached Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded in agreement.

Just as the two were preparing to depart, a deep, resonant voice thundered from the gathered crowd outside:

"You there, the young one from the Human Race. You are Haotian, correct?"

Li Hao stopped and looked up. He saw a member of the Chaos Ancient Clan with a human torso, a lion’s face, green scales, and a long dragon tail.

"I am Bai Han of the Green Flood Dragon Clan. Do you have the courage to accept my challenge in the arena?" the creature demanded.

Li Hao’s brow arched slightly as he asked calmly, "Are we talking about a standard duel or a blood fight?"

"A blood fight? You actually dare?"

Bai Han of the Green Flood Dragon Clan erupted in a cold laugh. The movement caused the scales on his lion-like face to bunch together grotesquely, exposing a row of jagged fangs.

"He is ranked 160,000 on the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking. Previously, he was ten ranks above you, but now he sits 40,000 places ahead. He has refined seven paths of Chaos Law!"

Shi Miao’s expression turned grave. Being listed on the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking herself, she had quickly verified his standing. Upon hearing this, Li Hao nodded, feeling a sense of relief that the opponent had not yet reached the Refining Law level.

"I dare. The question is, do you?" Li Hao challenged Bai Han.

Bai Han of the Green Flood Dragon Clan narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Since you can only view those 10,000 ranks above you, it’s only natural you don't recognize me. I am not trying to trick you; I am ranked 160,000 and have mastered seven paths of Chaos Law, with my sights set on twenty-three. Knowing that, do you still dare to face me?!"

His final words were delivered with a roar like a lion, thick with intimidation as his golden eyes glared down at Li Hao with contempt. Despite the overwhelming pressure of the gaze, Li Hao remained unfazed.

"I have already spoken. Now, I ask you once more: do you dare?"

"Junior brother!"

Di Lingshu and the others were startled, worried that Li Hao was being reckless. They feared that with such a large audience, Li Hao might feel forced to agree just to save face. They did not want to see him destroyed by his own impulsiveness.

Bai Han’s face darkened as he stared intensely at Li Hao. He had arrived early and witnessed exactly how Li Hao had executed Wu Ming. Currently, Li Hao’s name was not visible on the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking, as many chose to hide their identities, leaving only their sequence numbers. Bai Han wasn't sure exactly how high Li Hao had climbed.

However, he was certain Li Hao hadn't surpassed him yet. If he had, the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking would have sent Bai Han a notification of his demotion, even if the challenger's name was hidden. He had received no such alert over the last two days.

"Hmph, are you trying to use your recent momentum to intimidate me?"

After a brief thought, Bai Han laughed coldly and stepped forward. "Of course I dare! Since you are so eager for death, accept my blood fight challenge!"

As he spoke, he summoned the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he formally issued a blood fight invitation to Li Hao.

The spectators erupted into a frenzy of cheers and jeers, particularly those from the Chaos Ancient Clan.

"The Green Flood Dragon Clan shows its power!"

"We must handle this Human ourselves. That previous fellow was useless—a Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator killed in an instant. Truly pathetic!"

"Another blood fight! How entertaining. This Human brat must think his previous display actually impressed us."

"A Third Level Immortal Monarch Realm fighting a Perfection level—how absurd. That secret technique for boosting his Cultivation must be a gift from the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor himself."

"If this direct disciple of an Emperor is killed, it will be legendary. The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor wouldn't even be able to seek vengeance, as this is a sanctioned, fair duel!"

"Why would an Immortal Emperor concern himself with ants like us? If his disciple falls, it simply proves his lack of skill. I say we let Bai Han take his place as the direct disciple; wouldn't that be perfect?"

Many members of the Chaos Ancient Clan laughed, their voices dripping with mockery. Hearing their insults directed at his master, Li Hao’s calm expression sharpened. These people were testing the limits of his patience.

"Accepted."

Li Hao did not waver as he directly confirmed the blood fight invitation from Bai Han. During his practice the previous day, he had become so immersed in his work that he had actually refined five paths of Chaos Law, not just three!
