Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1842 Chapter 487: Preliminary Test Results (Part 2)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
"The utmost boundary of a single realm... that's it."
Li Hao reflected silently in his mind.
...
Upon the summit of the Heaven Tower.
A subtle flicker appeared in the gazes of the Star Empress and the Immortal Immortal Emperor, showing hints of astonishment.
"Extreme Dao Chaos—could this be a disciple under the Dao Origin?"
"His aptitude shines brightly, yet his cultivation level remains far too modest. This age isn't destined for him."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor remarked with composure.
The Star Empress gave a faint nod, harboring mild sorrow, though just a touch, since she had witnessed the exceptional talents among the handful of disciples belonging to the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor. Should those three core pupils from bygone days manage to cross the ultimate threshold amid this calamity, they could profoundly sway the war's direction.
Regarding this particular disciple, it was clear he had been taken on recently and didn't fit into this time period.
Existing in an age not one's own implies that the fortunes of this epoch evade him entirely.
"Ancestor Emperor Power..."
"Such a shame."
Before long, the pair of Immortal Emperors observed that, apart from the youth, multiple silhouettes at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm were swiftly climbing too, pushing forcefully beyond the thirtieth floor.
"Promising talents—if they advance to the peak of Immortal King Realm, they could vie for True King status, though the real issue is if time permits."
The Star Empress's gaze gleamed with interest.
The Immortal Immortal Emperor gave a gentle shake of his head: "Far too green, much like that youth; should they survive the disaster, they'd emerge as the genuine rulers and geniuses of the coming age, but alas..."
The Star Empress remained silent, yet abruptly, her sight caught a brilliant silhouette dashing toward the 70th floor.
That silhouette's cultivation stood merely at the Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm.
The further the ascent, the steeper the challenge, but what truly gripped her focus was the rival's Space-Time Dao having climbed to the Ninth Layer, faintly approaching the Tenth Layer!
Provided sufficient strength, the rival's Space-Time Dao could genuinely unleash the might of the Tenth Layer!
It's worth noting that such a stage is one only a flawless Immortal King Realm might grasp!
"This Space-Time method feels so recognizable—ah, it's her..."
The Star Empress's eyes shifted, and shortly after, recognition dawned on her about that silhouette.
Incredibly, after ten millennia, she had surfaced again, making her comeback right before the calamity struck.
...
The 31st floor inside the Heaven Tower.
With piercing eyes, Luo Ningshuang eyed the trio of Fourth Level Immortal King Realm foes ahead. She wasted no time, instantly releasing the Ancestor Emperor Power.
Back on the 25th floor, she had already hit her boundary and employed the Ancestor Emperor Power to breeze past it.
At present, her goal was to test the boundaries of the Ancestor Emperor Power alongside her personal fighting prowess.
Bang!
With the Ancestor Emperor Power bursting forth, an immense Emperor's Might surged within her frame.
Immediately, her realm expanded, lunging forward to annihilate the three Ancient Demons.
The three Ancient Demons countered by deploying their royal lineage's Bloodline Power, projecting their realms to strike at her.
Luo Ningshuang promptly felt her realm turning brittle, on the verge of crumbling upon contact with the three Ancient Demons' realms, akin to parchment clashing against rock, poised for destruction.
She swiftly channeled Ancestor Emperor Power into her realm, and right away, it gained a coating like armored plating, effectively bouncing back the three Ancient Demons' realms.
Her hand lifted as she launched immortal arts, striking with speed.
Bolstered by the intimidating aura of Ancestor Emperor Power, the three Ancient Demons seemed sorely pressed against her, yet even so, it demanded a fair amount of effort for her to slowly dispatch them one by one.
"Relying on Ancestor Emperor Power, and it's this strenuous just to get here!"
Luo Ningshuang's expression darkened. She sensed her own limits drawing near.
"If even I'm struggling like this, I can't help but wonder how far others will go. My junior sister Wanyi must be facing something comparable. Time to see which of us climbs higher!"
The image of her fellow junior sister surfaced in her thoughts, while a brief vision of a certain youth's form was intentionally dismissed.
During the Monarch Realm, she conceded the youth's prowess was utterly daunting, but now in the Immortal King Realm, with Ancestor Emperor Power awakened, she was fated to dominate this stage, outstripping fellow genius Immortal Kings by leaps.
In the end, this stemmed from the deep-rooted legacy of an ancient lineage, something fleeting geniuses couldn't overturn or shift.
"Slay!"
She pressed onward, diving into the following floor.
At the same time, elsewhere in the 33rd floor.
Li Hao emerged. Moments ago, in the 32nd floor, he had invoked the Extreme Dao Chaos Second Layer and vanquished six Ancient Demons until his realm utterly collapsed.
Though he figured Extreme Dao Chaos would still let him handle the 33rd floor, persisting with the test held little value.
He resolved to experiment with the fused might of the Double Realm.
"Formless, Reverse Time!"
Suddenly, dual realms of force materialized around Li Hao at once.
The Formless force rendered him into void, devoid of shape or way, whereas Reverse Time situated him in a separate space-time.
As the pair of forces merged, Li Hao experienced a rush of potent vigor coursing through him.
However, these dual forces drained enormous immortal power, prompting him to engage the Extreme Dao Chaos First Layer, igniting all his True God Blood to yield a commanding force equivalent to 9300 drops of True God Blood.
The All Heavens Star Vein morphed into 108 beams of radiance linking to him, and the torrent of immortal power propelled the Double Realm might to its peak.
"Reverse Time Formless!"
Through the Double Realm fusion, the two energies blended as one, embedding space-time essence in the formless, and encompassing all facets within space-time!
Right then, myriad illusions of every facet sprang up in his realm.
Past, present, future—all three temporal dimensions brimmed with every facet.
Each illusion simultaneously executed Chaos Infinite swordsmanship, unifying Sword Dao, and in a blink, they overwhelmed the 12 Ancient Demons, slaying them on the spot!
"Double Realm—it actually holds strong..."
Li Hao stood amazed, joy flashing in his eyes.
The Double Realm endured against the Fourth Level realms of those 12 Ancient Demons, and with the awesome commanding force from True God Blood, he could keep charging ahead!
