Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1754 Chapter 449: Sweeping Across the Eight Domains

Puchi!

A sharp cracking sound suddenly reverberated across a secluded peak. A Chaos Dao Seed, shaped like a draconic eagle, suffered a violent rupture in its chest and abdomen. Radiant sword light erupted from within, cleaving its physical form in two. Bound by the constricting power of karma and cause and effect, the creature found itself unable to escape as its Primordial Spirit was systematically obliterated.

Following the demise of the Chaos Dao Seed, a dense concentration of Heavenly Dao Power manifested within the void.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Hao beckoned the Heavenly Dao Power toward him, letting it settle into his palm.

"Just as I suspected, this is far more potent—dozens of times stronger than the Heavenly Dao Power harvested from the Chaos Dao Seeds I hunted in the outer regions!"

As he absorbed the energy, Li Hao let out a soft sigh. However, compared to the four Chaos Dao Seeds he had hunted near the Chaos River previously, this one was still lacking. He was beginning to realize that those initial four were truly extraordinary specimens, likely originating from the Ninth Layer Heavenly Domain!

Currently, he was traversing the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain.

There was no doubt that the various Chaos Dao Seeds he had been slaughtering here were vastly inferior to those first four.

"It is no wonder everyone strives to reach the deeper regions of the Heavenly Domain; hunting in this place truly accelerates one's progress."

Standing beside him, Di Lingshu also sighed with emotion. Li Hao had originally intended to share the spoils of the hunt with her, but she barely dared to accept such significant benefits. For every ten Chaos Dao Seeds Li Hao slew, she took the Heavenly Dao Power of only one. Even so, her gains were far greater than anything she could have achieved hunting on her own in the outer reaches.

"It seems things are wrapping up over there; let us pick up the pace."

Li Hao remarked.

Upon entering the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain, he had manifested his Dark Side Avatar to assist in the hunt.

Due to the Extreme Dao Chaos technique bestowed by his master, his Dark Side Avatar possessed combat prowess equal to his own. Furthermore, if his true self utilized the Extreme Dao Chaos, his power could triple!

He was now eligible to cultivate the second layer of the Extreme Dao Chaos. Once he mastered it, his foundation would be bolstered six-fold.

However, while occupied with hunting Chaos Dao Seeds in this Endless Heavenly Domain, Li Hao did not waste time on meditation or cultivation, as nothing currently posed a threat to his safety.

"I imagine the others will be arriving shortly as well."

Di Lingshu noted.

The territory of the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain was not as vast as the outer layers, consisting of only nine landmasses in total!

Following Li Hao's lead, they had already swept through seven of these lands.

This was primarily due to Li Hao's terrifying hunting speed; the Chaos Dao Seeds here were slaughtered the moment they encountered him, offering almost no resistance against his overwhelming power.

Emboldened by Li Hao’s presence, she had attempted to fight a Chaos Dao Seed herself, only to be nearly killed instantly. She had been on the verge of activating a Domain Artifact for protection when Li Hao intervened, slaying the beast and saving her from disaster.

That encounter had made her painfully aware of the massive chasm between her strength and Li Hao's.

"Mhm."

Li Hao gave a slight nod. The arrival of others would make the area crowded, but he wasn't interested in the commotion; his goal was to finish the sweep quickly and move on to investigate the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain.

"The Heavenly Dao Power I have gathered is now enough to push my Chaos Dao to the Seventh Stage..."

Li Hao contemplated silently.

Having cleared five landmasses, the accumulated Heavenly Dao Power within him had reached the 'Hundred Tribulations' threshold, satisfying the requirements for his Chaos Dao to advance.

Yet, Li Hao felt no rush to break through. He preferred to harvest more Chaos Dao Seeds first, given that he faced no immediate danger.

Before long, the dozens of Chaos Dao Seeds inhabiting this seventh landmass were all eradicated by Li Hao.

Taking Di Lingshu with him, Li Hao moved swiftly toward the eighth piece of land.

A short while later, just as Li Hao was finishing his harvest on the eighth landmass, several figures began to fly in from the boundaries of the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain.

"The combat strength of those Chaos Dao Seeds in the Seventh Layer was decent, but they were still no match for us. It seems only the seeds in the Eighth Layer are worthy of being our opponents."

A member of the Chaos Ancient Clan spoke, his eyes shimmering with anticipation.

They had tested their skills against the seeds in the Seventh Layer out of caution, confirming they were relatively weak. Only the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain promised a real challenge, as the seeds there were undoubtedly more powerful and held greater stores of Heavenly Dao Power!

"We must move quickly; that Human youth likely arrived some time ago. We cannot permit him to claim too many kills."

A youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan increased his speed.

"Have no fear, the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain is not so easily conquered. I have heard there are Beast King level entities here. Even someone who has fused twenty-three Chaos Laws would have a slim chance against them alone; teamwork is essential. That kid is probably out there by himself, desperately wishing for allies to join him!"

Another youth from the Chaos Ancient Clan remarked. He wore a crown of peacock feathers and possessed a handsome face and a refined, upright bearing.

"By working together, we will surely surpass those Humans."

The first Chaos Ancient Clan member added.

Soon, the group ventured deeper into the Eighth Heavenly Domain.

"The atmospheric pressure of heaven and earth is much heavier here; the range of my Divine Sense has been cut in half again!"

"Look there! Those nine lands—those are the nine Chaos fragments our master described!"

Upon spotting the nine landmasses, the group exchanged looks of shared excitement and immediately charged toward one of them.

They reached the landmass shortly after. Projecting their Divine Sense, they found the area to be incredibly vast. In the lower Heavenly Domains, their Divine Sense could cover an entire land in an instant, but here, they could only perceive a small radius.

"Hurry, locate the Chaos Dao Beasts."

The group formed a perimeter and expanded their Divine Sense, flying forward to begin a systematic search for the local Chaos Dao Beasts.
