Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1746 Chapter 445: Crossing the River, Sixth Stage of the Chaos Dao! (Part 2)

Li Hao threw a casual glance toward the Chaos Red Demon Clan, nodding with indifference, not truly bothered by their presence.

Shortly after, his group arrived at the entrance of the Boundary Gate.

As he stepped forward, Li Hao felt as if he had transitioned into a unique domain. A terrifying force began scanning his entire being, triggering a faint, instinctive sense of unease. Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted from above.

The sound was like the shattering of chaos itself, so immense that it caused the entire Boundary Flipping Mountain to quake violently.

The figures rushing toward the gate were forced to halt. Their expressions twisted into masks of horror as they stared toward the golden mist swirling around the mountain peaks.

Even Di Lingshu was shaken by the unexpected roar. Caught off guard, she lifted her head in sheer amazement.

Above them, the golden divine mist churned violently. From the heart of the clouds, hundreds of golden dragons suddenly burst forth. These creatures merged together, forming nine colossal golden thunder dragons that dove straight toward Li Hao.

Simultaneously, the remaining lightning dragons shifted their forms, constructing a straight, golden divine bridge that descended until it rested at Li Hao’s feet.

The nine dragons circled and danced around the divine bridge, shielding Li Hao with a terrifying aura that warned everyone else to stay back.

"A Dao Heart Divine Bridge? The State of Mind Emperor Dao?!"

From a distance, various experts, including Gu Mofan, were frozen by the sight. Their shock quickly turned into pure bewilderment.

These powerhouses had come to escort the geniuses of their respective Sects and clans, never expecting to witness such a legendary phenomenon.

The Dao Heart Divine Bridge was a myth—a rare sign that only appeared when a cultivator’s Dao Heart surpassed eternity during the crossing of a boundary gate.

"Who is that youth? His Dao Heart has actually transcended eternity!"

"This... this is already touching the threshold of the half-step Emperor Realm Dao Heart. How can an Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator achieve this?"

"Could he be Haotian?"

Every powerhouse watched with focused intensity, their eyes filled with disbelief. They had heard of Haotian’s fame, but they hadn't taken it seriously until now. No matter how gifted a youth might be, they were usually worlds apart from these experts. After all, these men stood at the Quasi-Emperor Realm—just a single step away from the Great Emperor stage, the absolute peak of Cultivation!

Having reached such heights, they were usually numb to the world, finding it difficult for anything to stir their emotions.

To those at the end of the path, even the most brilliant prodigies often seemed ordinary; reaching the limit simply meant entering the Great Emperor Realm eventually.

"Junior Brother's Dao Heart..."

Gu Mofan was internally rocked. To possess a Dao Heart that surpassed eternity while still in the Immortal Monarch Realm meant that as long as his Junior Brother continued his Cultivation, reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm was a certainty.

As for ascending to become a Great Emperor... that was a matter of destiny and luck that no one could foresee.

Regardless, it was clear that his Junior Brother had already secured his path to the summit!

"It’s no wonder Master holds him in such high regard..." Gu Mofan mused.

Standing next to Li Hao, Di Lingshu was paralyzed with shock, her hand covering her mouth. This Junior Brother continued to shatter her expectations, leaving her in a state of constant wonder.

Despite her high status within the Emperor Clan, she had been startled by Li Hao three times now, feeling as though she were nothing more than a common onlooker.

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to pass through the gate, the representative of the Chaos Red Demon Clan stopped. His eyes glowed as he stared intensely at the young man standing on the divine bridge, surrounded by the nine soaring dragons.

The spectacle was so magnificent that the youth’s extraordinary aura was visible to everyone.

"A Dao Heart that surpasses eternity..."

The Chaos Red Demon Clan member tightened his fists. The momentum he had built moments ago was completely eclipsed; the crowd no longer cared about him.

Compared to Li Hao’s nine dragons and the Divine Bridge, his own ten-dragon fusion seemed insignificant. The gap between them was undeniable.

"Humph!"

Letting out a cold snort, he turned away and departed without a second glance.

"That person..."

Luo Ningshuang watched the scene, her eyes widening in shock.

Her brow soon furrowed as she studied the boy’s silhouette, realizing his foundation was far deeper and more frightening than she had anticipated.

Compared to the Chaos Red Demon Clan, this boy was likely to be a much more dangerous opponent.

"He..." Lin Zhexuan stood dazed, the color draining from his face. He never imagined there would be such a massive disparity even in their Dao Hearts.

That youth had completely outstripped him.

A wave of sorrow, indignation, and shameful resentment washed over him, leaving his mind momentarily blank.

"Is that his Dao Heart?"

The sisters of the Su family were equally stunned. Su Muqing’s eyes were wide with disbelief. In the Northern Domain, she had assumed the boy was distracted by her, wasting his time on romance and relationships—a sign of a weak Dao Heart. She never dreamed it could transcend eternity.

How was this possible?

He clearly hadn't been focused on his Cultivation, so how could his Dao Heart be so strong?

How could someone who seemed to abandon the path for fleeting pleasures possess a heart that surpassed eternity?

Su Muqing couldn't wrap her head around it. A deep sense of pain and regret filled her as she realized she had never truly understood him.

"He’s still the same..."

Within the crowd, Gu Yan and Yue Xi looked at Li Hao and shared a bitter smile. Ever since they had met him, he always seemed to become the center of the world wherever he went.

And yet, they knew that in private, Li Hao was actually someone who preferred to keep a very low profile.

"His Dao Heart..."

The eyes of Sword Heart and Ming Yue grew misty. Even in this gathering of elite talents where they felt their own light fading, the boy didn't just stand out—he completely overshadowed the brilliance of every other genius present.
