Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1830 Chapter 482: True King

After parting ways with Long Potian, Gu Mofan, joined by Di Wushe and the remaining pair, guided Li Hao and Shi Miao rapidly toward Ancestral Dragon City within the Eastern Domain.

"Senior Brother, how did you all show up out of nowhere?"

During their journey, Li Hao asked. The manner of their sudden entry onto the battlefield felt far too unexpected, resembling an instant teleportation to this spot.

However, this zone serves as a vital frontier, where the Heavenly Dao Laws stand modified. Beyond certain Teleportation Arrays, direct passage remains impossible unless one holds the rank of Emperor!

"This stems from the might of the Fifth Ultimate Realm, Chaos!"

Gu Mofan's face grew a bit serious as he clarified the matter for Li Hao.

"The Fifth Ultimate Realm?"

Li Hao's gaze shifted. The Fifth Realm, dubbed 'Fifteen Miles', demands control over Dao across fifteen miles; the Extreme Realm goes by Returning Ruins, and the Ultimate Realm bears the name Chaos?

"The Chaos Ultimate Realm enables crossing through realms, wandering the Four Domains without hindrance, and accessing the Primordial True Realm independently, elusive much like a Divine Dragon."

Zhan Qinghuang informed Li Hao, "We arrived straight from Extreme Dao Mountain, shattering realm barriers to reach this place. Xiao Wu's avatar pinpointed your location, simplifying our search for you."

Understanding dawned on Li Hao abruptly.

The Returning Ruins Extreme Realm already bestows extraordinary powers. Back at the Sword Ancestor Holy Land amid cultivation sessions, geniuses who commanded the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm possessed unmatched evasion skills in clashes with fellow prodigies, their teleportation leaving no traceable signs.

While Returning Ruins handles teleportation, Chaos pushes boundaries further, permitting journeys between distinct realms.

"Chaos... Is it possible to grasp the Dao of Chaos?"

Thoughts raced through Li Hao's mind.

Yet clearly, no chance existed to experiment at present, so he questioned, "Does Fifth Senior Brother's avatar remain at Extreme Dao Mountain? What did he mention about the conditions in Ancestral Dragon City?"

"He plans to throw himself entirely into the fight this round. That avatar amounts to a frail projection lacking any fighting strength. He instructed us against saving him; he vowed to stand or fall alongside the Eastern Domain."

Gu Mofan spoke with gravity, "Still, he's Old Wu—if he refuses to depart, we must verify his status. Now that we've arrived, failing to slay some Ancient Demons and haul them away would render our long years of cultivation pointless!"

Li Hao gave a faint nod, recalling Mi Xueyao from earlier. As a member of the Ancient Demon King Clan, she fell easily when the three Senior Brothers and Sisters appeared, though her complete demise stays uncertain.

In earlier times, they had dined together amicably, yet now they clashed in a deadly confrontation, highlighting the unyielding positions of mighty clans.

As their discussion continued, their forms sped like shooting stars and the moon, spanning enormous star domains in mere moments, halting before a magnificent heavenly city.

This city rose upon an expansive continent, resembling a towering spire upon the earth, looming distant like a peaked crown.

Still, a chilling spectacle greeted them beyond this imposing city. Thick black fog swirled, with endless shapes swarming like locusts in flight or bees besieging a nest, encircling the whole city in dense layers, as elite Arrays and scarce Immortal Techniques erupted ceaselessly like dazzling bursts of light.

The starry expanse brimmed with a colossal Ancient Demon Tide, where robust silhouettes of the Ancient Demon Army collided, the Yan Ghost Array of tens of thousands surging forward like myriad troops marching through the skies, assaulting the city in relentless surges!

The countless Ancient Demons surpassed trillions, far beyond mere billions.

The Yan Ghost Array, manifesting as a dark spectral face from the military ranks, barreled onward like a gigantic battering ram aimed at the city!

This spectacle stunned Li Hao into silence; even the battle-scarred Gu Mofan and Zhan Qinghuang felt astonishment, while Di Wushe, who had culled Ancient Demons along the Emperor Clan's frontiers for thousands of years, stood frozen, comprehending that across ten millennia, the Ancient Demons he killed and encountered paled against the horde visible here in an instant!

Over-the-top, horrifying!

Nevertheless, within this encircled city, despite its mountain-like scale, no breach had occurred. Dragon cries resounded from inside, sporadically unveiling enormous dragon forms that swiftly disappeared.

"This, this..."

Zhan Qinghuang trembled on the spot. Even as a Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator, this view instilled a trace of dread in her.

The Yan Ghost Array by itself wielded strength akin to the Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm, appearing in endless numbers. Though posing no danger to Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, hidden among them lurked terrifying presences in combat, exceeding a dozen at Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation!

In another battlefield section, a ruptured black hole resembling a chasm had created a forbidden area, its utter blackness repelling all nearness, while auras of Great Emperors radiated outward.

Swish!

While Li Hao reeled in shock, a Sword Qi that rent the heavens erupted suddenly from the black hole chasm, racing across the battlefield like a keen blade severing cloth, tearing open a rift in the insect-swarm chaos of the fray.

The rift bore no remnants of Ancient Demon bodies, all existence erased.

"A Great Emperor has entered the battle..."

Gu Mofan and the others' faces shifted, unprepared for the Eastern Domain's crisis to reach such severity, with a Great Emperor stepping in right upon hearing the news.

On a field like this, they as Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators must proceed warily, depending on their Emperor's actions to restrain the Ancient Demons' Emperor-level foes, thus opening chances to attack.

Among the group, only Shi Miao wore a grave look, her eyes somewhat vacant. This very scene had unfolded a hundred thousand years prior, when she joined such a conflict, which raged even fiercer back then. It marked the Ancient Demons' initial emergence in the True Realm, with Great Emperors clashing until the skies turned dim and the void fractured.

Confronted by this echoing sight, two phrases rose unbidden in Shi Miao's heart: fate, reincarnation!
