Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1890 Chapter 506: Cosmic Realm Domain
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
From the moment he started cultivating, Li Hao had never before attempted a false fusion of seven Realm Hearts.
Beyond the mere stacking and boosting of realm strength, the distinct powers of those seven Realm Hearts were altering and intertwining as well.
Formless, All Phenomena, Reverse Time, Chaos, Cave Void, Creation, Boundless!
With the integration of these seven Realm Hearts' forces, every capability appeared stretched and intensified, and the scene in front of Li Hao's vision abruptly shifted in astonishing ways. Innumerable laws gathered and then scattered like strands, as the nearby environment appeared to crumble, birthing a total black hole!
His realm encompassed the extent of this black hole.
Inside this black hole that swallowed even light, Li Hao sensed a potent chaotic energy alongside the Formless force.
The blend of chaos and Formless energies gave rise to a Primordial Great Void Realm Domain!
Next, within the realm resembling a black hole, lights akin to stars started to appear; every ray was forged from vast numbers of laws.
Formless embodies All Phenomena, Formless includes All Phenomena!
With the rise of countless law-formed lights, the Primordial Great Void slowly evolved into an immense starry expanse.
Yet all remained motionless, resembling a painting; however, unlike a painting's two-dimensional nature, this formed genuine space.
Layered and abundant spatial energies wrapped around each law, and a single term emerged in Li Hao's thoughts.
Cosmos.
Just then, another force joined in, making those star-like lights begin to move, resembling celestial bodies drifting through the galaxy, breathing energy and vigor into the still, serene, barren space!
Universe!
A fearsome realm force spread out, apparently destroying all in its path, disrupting the tower's inner space outside his own realm.
The quasi-emperor Ancient Demon charging ahead halted abruptly.
From the Immortal King Realm Seventh Level youth ahead, it detected a crushing force matching its own, hiding something far more dreadful!
As its eyes turned, the tower's interior space warped instantly, and within Li Hao's starry cosmic galaxy, an inexpressible, profound energy altered those laws, rendering them hard to grasp, their core profoundly concealed.
A vivid life force surfaced in that realm, and Li Hao's Life Sea dispersed into myriad tiny droplet particles, sustaining the endless stellar laws as time flowed.
Creation... Fate!
"Hmm?"
Beyond the Heaven Tower, the Star Empress perched on its peak subtly shifted her gaze, softly directing it toward a specific section of the Heaven Tower.
There lay the quasi-emperor's origin point, the hundredth level.
"I sense the stirrings of fate awakening..."
The Star Empress whispered softly, fixing her eyes on that level, and right away beheld a staggering sight.
The emperor artifact energy upholding that level started to fade, while space kept getting destroyed, consumed by an endlessly growing realm.
Beyond that realm, the quasi-emperor Ancient Demon hovering in the emptiness chose flight over assault in sheer panic.
Yet against the relentlessly swelling realm, with space steadily breaking down, the quasi-emperor Ancient Demon at last brushed against the realm, erased in an instant like particles turning to dust.
Although the emperor artifact energy sustaining that level was fairly limited, the occurrence remained utterly astounding!
"Annihilation... Right at Immortal King Realm Seventh Level, he wiped out a quasi-emperor Ancient Demon..."
The Star Empress hesitated briefly.
Despite witnessing countless prodigies, she had never met a freak like this, save for a Great Emperor's reincarnation, who upon hitting Immortal King Realm Seventh Level might scarcely harness Emperor Dao power, producing such outcomes or surpassing them!
However... that youth was surely no Great Emperor reborn; her Heaven Tower, fused with cycle shards, could reveal reincarnation tallies, and that youth was merely in his second existence, his soul's span under two millennia!
At that young age, even a quasi-emperor reborn couldn't achieve it!
"How?"
The Immortal Immortal Emperor spotted the odd look on the Star Empress's face and felt some surprise.
She seldom showed shock; even the outstanding feats of major clan descendants only elicited mild interest from her.
"Dao Origin appears to have found a gem..."
The Star Empress regained her composure, a faint grin forming on her mouth, as her eyes shifted once more; she observed the dreadful force rising in the youth's realm, which not only demolished his immediate space but also... influenced parallel spaces in the same level across different timelines!
Were the Heaven Tower a testing arena, it resembled shattering the arena itself!
"Such potent piercing force, such horrifying scope, almost endless..."
The Star Empress muttered quietly, abruptly eager to witness how expansively the challenger's realm might expand, how immense it could grow!
Still, logic guided her decision to hold back, awaiting the challenger's push to upper floors where emperor artifact energy grew mightier and space firmer, revealing the challenger's boundaries.
Her imperial intent spread forth, and the Heaven Tower swiftly understood.
"Looks like this round's ten king positions could gain a fresh contender."
The Star Empress laughed lightly.
With those words, she offhandedly passed the Heaven Tower's visions to the Immortal Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Immortal Emperor swiftly reviewed them, surprisingly halting, his gaze widening briefly, before bursting into a relieved, booming laugh.
"Dao Origin, that fellow, no surprise there, haha..."
At the same time, in a separate section of the Heaven Tower's hundred layers.
"Hmm?"
A War Clan Immortal King, at Immortal King Realm's peak, clashed with a Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon when abruptly, the ambient space trembled, reality twisted, and their intertwined domains were ripped apart by force.
"What?!"
The War Clan Immortal King felt stunned and glanced upward in shock. He hadn't been defeated, so why would the All Heavens Tower meddle in his fight?
Shortly, he realized both his domain and the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon's were under assault from a horrifying energy, crumbling from the borders as though devoured!
An intense dread gripped his form entirely, as if an unseen entity nearby parted savage jaws from ocean depths to encircle them, positioning them amid grinding fangs poised to pulverize them utterly in the following instant!
The dread felt sharply vivid yet somehow shielded, resembling a monstrous presence coiling around them.
"What's happening?"
The War Clan Immortal King grew somewhat confused. Was this trial element too?
Within the All Heavens Tower.
Li Hao remained absorbed in fusing seven Fake Realm Hearts when out of nowhere, in his domain, a supreme Emperor's Will arrived.
"Do you wish to advance to the next floor?"
Li Hao's eyes snapped open, revealing a rift brutally carved into his domain.
Furthermore, this rift had been cleaved through his domain with ease, akin to a keen blade cutting tender bean curd!
"The next floor?"
Li Hao inwardly marveled at the All Heavens Tower Emperor Artifact's awesome might, then saw the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon gone, the encircling world erased too, stranding him solo in this empty void.
Via his domain, he faintly detected void energies, plus other presences, apparently from fellow challengers.
"The Quasi-Emperor... isn't quite as frightening as thought."
Li Hao reflected on the just-past events, abruptly grasping that the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon proved less fearsome than pictured, far from rivaling an Emperor.
Quasi-Emperors simply refine worldly laws to their utmost.
Still, they fail to surpass the True Realm's bounds.
His seven Realm Hearts, uniting into the King's Domain, held not just Nine Orders Power and Ten Thousand Dao Laws, but via fusion, attained the zenith, the Ten Layers of Perfection!
Thus, inside the domain, his fighting strength matched Quasi-Emperor tier!
"This marks the King's Domain..."
Li Hao surveyed his surroundings, beholding the domain expansive as the cosmos, feeling the seven Realm Hearts' fused domain power hadn't fully manifested yet!
"Merging just four Realm Hearts might suffice to overcome that Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon..."
Li Hao pondered silently.
After momentary consideration, he resolved to move to the next floor.
On the 101st floor, a single Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon lingered, the count unchanged, just one as before.
Yet Li Hao distinctly perceived this one's presence stronger than the last.
"Realm completion doesn't match immortal power completion; this Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon's immortal power feels purer!"
Li Hao's gaze flashed, and without delay, he unleashed his domain.
This round, he opted to fuse Realm Hearts one by one.
Before, the Chaos Boundary Heart linked with the Formless World Heart, forming the Primordial Great Void Realm.
Now, Li Hao combined the Void Realm Heart and Formless World Heart, finding they formed the Dark Annihilation Realm.
The Void's invasive force paired with Formless's invisibility ensures all entering this domain faces destruction.
"So powerful..."
As Realm Hearts fused, Li Hao abruptly sensed the dread of parallel multiple realms!
Every Realm Heart could pair with each of the remaining six, evolving into fresh domains!
Seven Realm Hearts, pairing two at a time, produced thirty-six varieties!
Let alone trios or quartets of Realm Hearts fusing, the possibilities stretched beyond imagination!
Upon full merger of seven Realm Hearts, embracing all phenomena, it mirrored every prior Realm Heart pairing's evolutions combined, explaining why his earlier domain mimicked a true universe!
"This represents a key strength of multiple realms..."
Li Hao's core trembled; this Emperor Road proved so arduous, small wonder countless Immortal Emperor reincarnations failed!
In the midst of thirty-six Realm Heart fusion trials, the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon confronting Li Hao grew chaotic from Li Hao's ever-shifting domain forms.
However, dual Realm Heart fusions failed to deliver a deadly blow to the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon.
Trio fusions amplified the shifts further, yet still couldn't inflict fatal harm on the Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon.
Adding the fourth Realm Heart diversified the fusions more.
The domain from four fused Realm Hearts promptly smashed the oncoming Quasi-Emperor Ancient Demon, fully erasing it after several adaptive changes.
Press on, to the following level.
As Li Hao kept advancing, his domain continuously morphed, all observed by the Immortal Immortal Emperor and Star Empress.
Traces of wonder gleamed in both their gazes.
This youth... could he truly have... walked that road?!
