Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1768 Chapter 453: Reunion of the Past, Battle Against the Divine Venerable

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Li Hao continues his hunt within the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain, efficiently harvesting Heavenly Dao Power from the Chaos Dao Seeds with his decisive Destiny Sword Kill. Nearby, Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi find themselves cornered in a valley by a coordinated pack of six creatures, forcing them to consider exhausting their precious Domain Artifacts to survive. Before they can act, Li Hao intervenes with overwhelming sword light, effortlessly slaying the strongest seeds and intercepting those attempting to flee. The two women are left in shock as they witness the true, terrifying extent of the young human's power.

The five Chaos Dao Seeds were extinguished in the blink of an eye.

Everything occurred within a mere instant; from the moment Li Hao arrived to the conclusion of the slaughter, only three breaths of time had passed.

Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi finally regained their composure. Watching Li Hao casually raise his palm to harvest the Heavenly Dao Power from the fallen Chaos Dao Seeds, they couldn't help but gulp in shock.

These entities were the Chaos Dao Seeds of the Ninth Heaven Domain. Even with five of them working in unison, they were completely suppressed and butchered by the overwhelming power of the youth standing before them!

"I will be taking this Heavenly Dao Power," Li Hao stated calmly, addressing the two women.

His tone implied that if they felt any dissatisfaction or harbored thoughts of seizing it, they would have to "debate" the matter with him thoroughly.

"You..."

Luo Ningshuang stared at Li Hao, her expression a mix of bewilderment and suspicion as she asked, "How did you manage to do that?"

"Hmm?"

Li Hao’s brow furrowed slightly.

Sensing a flicker of killing intent in Li Hao's gaze, Luo Ningshuang realized he might have misinterpreted her question. She quickly clarified, "I meant... how were you able to kill them so easily?"

"Were you just blinded?" Li Hao retorted bluntly.

Luo Ningshuang: "..."

This was the first time she had heard "are you blind" phrased with such cold efficiency.

Though she felt a surge of irritation, she suppressed her temper out of gratitude for his intervention. Restraining herself, she said, "I appreciate the assistance. I am Luo Ningshuang of the Ancient Royal Family, one of the ten supreme tribes of the True Realm!"

"It was merely a matter of mutual benefit."

Li Hao dismissed her words with a wave of his hand, clearly indifferent to earning a favor from her clan.

Seeing Li Hao turn to depart, Su Wanyi bit her lip and called out, "Did you happen to visit the Su Family in the Northern Domain recently?"

"Hmm?" Li Hao turned to look at the girl, his expression curious.

"My name is Su Wanyi. I am the elder sister of Su Muqing and the others," she explained immediately.

A look of understanding dawned in Li Hao’s eyes. He recalled hearing of the Su Family’s four little phoenixes. During his time in the Northern Domain, he had encountered Su Muqing and Su Wanqing, but the mysterious eldest sister had been absent. He hadn't expected to run into her here in the Primordial True Realm.

"Until we meet again."

Li Hao gave a slight nod, offering no further conversation before turning to walk away.

Su Wanyi stood there, stunned. She had assumed that revealing her identity would prompt the young man to have more to say. Her father had previously mentioned a potential marriage arrangement, which she—focused on her Cultivation in the Primordial True Realm—had ignored. The matter had eventually faded away since her sisters hadn't caught his interest either. She had originally planned to find him and demand answers, as her sisters were renowned for both their talent and beauty.

Watching Li Hao’s receding figure, Su Wanyi snapped out of her daze, her frustration boiling over. Even after learning she was from the Su Family, he still treated her with such indifference?

"He is far too arrogant, far too reckless!"

She balled her fists in anger. It was no wonder her sisters were rejected; such a prideful man, who looked down on everyone, was truly infuriating.

Luo Ningshuang observed Su Wanyi’s irritation and shared the sentiment, though she remained more pragmatic. She didn't care for petty arguments. With a focused gaze, she remarked,

"That man... he is incredibly powerful!"

Su Wanyi forced herself to calm down. Replaying the scene of Li Hao slaughtering the five Chaos Dao Seeds, her eyes turned grave. With such terrifying strength, he truly did have the capital to look down upon others.

"It makes sense now why the Eighth Heaven Domain was cleared. If he can easily butcher the Chaos Dao Seeds of the Ninth Heaven Domain, he must have been invincible in the Eighth," Su Wanyi noted, her voice filled with both awe and confusion.

They were both at the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm, having reached the peak of their cultivation and refined 23 Chaos Laws. Theoretically, the power gap shouldn't be this massive unless there was a significant disparity in bloodline or Dao comprehension. Even so, the distance between that boy and themselves felt like an unbridgeable chasm!

"I heard reports that he comprehended 69 stars in a single day. A genius of that caliber definitely possesses secrets we don't know. He will likely be a formidable competitor on this Heavenly Ascension Road," Luo Ningshuang whispered.

However, after witnessing his prowess, her initial desire to compete with him had dwindled. Not only was victory uncertain, but the debt of his life-saving favor made it difficult for her to oppose him with full strength.

"With his abilities, he will likely sweep through the Ninth Heaven Domain soon. Unless the local Beast Kings unite against him, nothing can stop him."

Su Wanyi looked solemn. She exchanged a look with Luo Ningshuang, her eyes conveying a silent warning: they had to move quickly, or there would be no Chaos Dao Seeds left in the Ninth Heaven Domain for them to hunt!

Luo Ningshuang understood the urgency. Without wasting another moment, the two consumed Divine Medicine to treat their wounds and hurried off in the opposite direction of Li Hao.

...

The situation unfolded exactly as Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang feared. Following his appearance, Li Hao began a rapid hunt of Chaos Dao Seeds across the region.

Over the last three centuries, he had consumed Ancient Demon Flesh and refined ten drops of True God Blood every year, totaling three thousand drops!

In the Ninth Heaven Domain, the environmental pressure is immense. Normally, a single drop of True God Blood would only allow a cultivator to project their Divine Sense for one kilometer. However, with three thousand drops, Li Hao could perceive everything within a three-thousand-mile radius.

While others were forced to search blindly, Li Hao possessed a massive advantage that boosted his hunting efficiency. The Chaos Dao Seeds in this area could only sense things within a few hundred miles using their specialized Taoist Bodies, as they lacked his potent Divine Sense.

"Hmm?"

Before long, Li Hao discovered a hilly region where six or seven Chaos Dao Seeds were positioned. At the center lay a massive, ape-like Chaos Dao Seed in a prostrate position.

That creature was undoubtedly the Beast King of the Ninth Heaven Domain.

Li Hao didn't pause for a second, moving instantly toward the target to begin the kill.

His movement was like that of a specter, far exceeding the perception of his prey. By the time he appeared, the Chaos Dao Seeds had failed to even register his aura or presence.
