Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1712 Chapter 432: The Refining Law, Heaven and Earth Roar (Part 2)

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Li Hao assesses his remaining skill points and current dao attainments within his Sea of Consciousness, recognizing the urgent need to bolster his combat power amidst the threats of the Primordial True Realm. After learning from Shi Miao that the mysterious Heavenly Dao Power required for his Chaos Dao is a measure of fate-controlling energy, he realizes the profound value of the gift once bestowed upon him by the Su Family. To prepare for the dangers of the Endless Heavenly Domain, he spends his limited points to elevate his Control Dao to the twelfth stage. As profound insights flood his mind, he gains the strength to manipulate the laws of the world and immortal power with unprecedented mastery.

Li Hao’s inherent strength could be multiplied by this power of Control Dao, granting him the ability to effortlessly master all manner of Immortal Techniques and Cultivation Techniques to the level of Perfection. Every complex detail resolved itself naturally, understood with a single glance.

Within Li Hao's consciousness, an ethereal hand seemed to manifest, shifting the mists and governing the transformations of every law in existence.

Witnessing these profound shifts, Li Hao was struck by a sudden epiphany; he realized that this Control Dao could significantly accelerate his comprehension of the Chaos Law.

Even without a breakthrough in the Chaos Dao, simply utilizing twelve segments of Control Dao to contemplate a Chaotic Star would result in incredible speed. He estimated he could master a single star in less than a year!

Such a pace was undeniably elite; even his monstrous second senior brother, Di Wushè, might find such a feat impossible to match.

Under the influence of the Control Dao, all of Li Hao’s Immortal Techniques underwent rapid evolution and transmutation, ascending to far greater heights.

Lower-tier Immortal Techniques began to automatically evolve into superior versions.

A basic Rain Summoning Immortal Skill, refined by the twelve segments of Control Dao, transformed into a devastating Immortal Technique known as "Tidal Calamity Sea"! When cast, it would call forth violent tidal waves from the heavens. Each surge possessed a lethal corrosive energy capable of dissolving the Immortal Body of those in the Immortal Monarch Realm. Any Immortal Soldiers caught in the flood would find their treasure light extinguished and their power severely depleted!

...

While Li Hao remained lost in his meditation, the news regarding his two blood duels had already erupted outside the Primordial True Realm!

The deaths of Wu Ming and Bai Han from the Green Flood Dragon Clan—particularly Bai Han, who was slain despite wielding seven Chaos Laws—forced Li Hao to reveal his foundation of thirteen Chaos Laws. This revelation was spreading like wildfire throughout every Chaos Immortal City.

"That Haotian had only grasped 69 Chaotic Stars yesterday, and today he commands 13 Chaos Laws??"

"How is it possible to cultivate like this? Why is the gap between individuals so vast? I consider myself a genius, but I am certainly no monster!"

"This is far too extreme. Just how many years of secluded Cultivation did he endure to reveal such a terrifying level of power in a single day!"

"That Chaos Ancient Clan actually tried to seize the chance to assassinate a genius of our Human Race. It is fortunate that Haotian killed them instead!"

"I have heard that his Primordial Spirit is equally frightening. He is undoubtedly a hidden master!"

Because there were many witnesses, the news was eventually confirmed as truth, despite early skeptics who thought the reports were too exaggerated to be real.

Upon learning that Bai Han of the Green Flood Dragon Clan had provoked a blood duel only to be killed in a reversal, many members of the Human Race—even those who harbored envy toward Li Hao—felt a surge of triumph.

Though the Chaos Ancient Clan and the Human Race were not engaged in an open war within the Primordial True Realm, their shadow conflicts persisted everywhere.

On the surface, however, the three Great Emperors maintained a fragile order, and no one dared to violate the decrees of the Immortal Emperor, much less the laws established collectively by the three Great Emperors.

"Haotian... are they referring to the Haotian we know?"

Across various Chaotic Stars, numerous prodigies engaged in comprehension received messages from their respective Sects, leading to heated discussions.

Among them, those who already mastered more than a dozen Chaos Laws paid close attention to this rising talent.

"It appears... it is indeed him."

Upon one Chaotic Star, Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian traded glances. They had failed to become disciples of the three Immortal Emperors and had instead been accepted as Direct Disciples by an Emperor in a different Chaos Immortal City.

The disciple selection process for this particular Emperor was less restrictive than that of the three Great Emperors, allowing for a larger number of followers.

"I saw my rank surpassed by him earlier, and now it turns out..."

Dazed, Chu Tianhuang felt a complex sense of shock. He realized then that the young man had already soared past the point where an invitation mattered; Li Hao would never return to the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty to serve their Imperial Family.

He had originally planned to take a risk by offering Li Hao protection to earn his loyalty, but that now seemed like a foolish delusion.

"If the Chaos Ancient Clans discovered that he only has a hundred years of soul life, they would likely fall into a state of frenzy..."

Boya Xuejian listened to the arguments and curses of other Chaos Ancient Clan elites within the cavern, offering a bitter smile as he sent a voice transmission to Chu Tianhuang.

Chu Tianhuang was left speechless. Indeed, if the Chaos Ancient Clan knew such a monster was rising within the Human Race, they would likely lose sleep.

"I truly wonder how he managed to cultivate to this point..."

Boya Xuejian let out a sigh.

The two shared a look, understanding the unspoken thought: Li Hao must possess immense secrets.

However, everyone has their own hidden cards and karmic opportunities. Such things could only be envied; they could be pursued, but never stolen.

"He has already refined thirteen Chaos Laws?"

At the Chaos Sword Star, Sword Heart and Ming Yue looked pale. Ming Yue, in particular, thought back to the century-long war pact she had made with Li Hao in the Southern Domain.

More than twenty years had passed... and since arriving in the Primordial True Realm, she had comprehended four Chaotic Stars. She should have been far ahead of the young man from back then. With eighty years left, it should have been impossible for him to catch up, yet in just two days, he had left her so far behind that she couldn't even see his shadow.

It was true—when the time for their duel arrived a century later... she couldn't imagine what she would even face him with.

By then, she likely wouldn't have mastered even half of the Chaotic Stars!

Her expression darkened further at these thoughts as she felt a chill for the first time, overwhelmed by despair and dread.

She was a Direct Disciple of an Immortal Emperor and stood at the pinnacle of the world's geniuses, yet to be outclassed so completely left her with no hope of closing the gap.

Beside her, Sword Heart’s eyes were vacant. The Sword Immortal Heart within him trembled; having nearly faltered once before in the Southern Domain, that same doubt was resurfacing once again.
