Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1905 Chapter 511: The Path of the King of Realms
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
"Perfection in the Immortal King Realm, power of the Ancestor Emperor, numerous Extreme Realm Perfections, yet utterly powerless to resist?"
"What sort of terrifying beings are they? This is beyond exaggeration. Could that woman truly be at the Immortal King Realm?"
A profound shock rippled through all the clans; their prior notions of Immortal King Realm Perfection clashed sharply with the spectacle unfolding before them.
"Hmph, Ten Layers of Perfection in the Time Dao Origin, a Time Chaos Body nurtured by the Time Origin Divine Tree—indeed remarkable!"
Among the Saint Clans, an elder at the Quasi-Emperor Realm fixed his icy gaze, piercing through to recognize Shi Miao's true origins.
In the catastrophe from a hundred thousand years past, the legacies of numerous mighty clans endured unbroken. The formidable abilities Shi Miao unleashed enabled swift discernment of his lineage and heritage.
"As destiny fades, the Time Dao asserts absolute dominance. Truly, amid the Nine Orders of Perfection, no other rivals the Time Dao's overwhelming supremacy!"
An elder from the War Clan sighed deeply.
"My Junior Brother holds the fourth rank—truly outstanding."
Inside the War Clan, Zhan Qinghuang scanned the nearby list, spotted Li Hao's name, and a spark ignited in his eyes, fierce and radiant like blazing flames.
"Mere Seventh Layer of the Immortal King Realm, yet eligible to vie for True King—this fellow..."
In the Emperor Clan, Di Wushe observed the clash alongside his kin. Upon selection of the True King, every Emperor and Quasi-Emperor would venture into the Otherworldly Battlefield for combat, where solely these True Kings might guide the Ten Thousand Clans in battling the Ancient Demon.
He had once intended to suggest to his clan that Di Mingyuan appoint Li Hao as deputy to the True King, yet to his surprise, Li Hao possessed the prowess to challenge for True King himself and outranked Di Mingyuan.
Such a Junior Brother... perpetually conjuring miracles beyond imagination!
"Junior Brother..."
Atop Extreme Dao Mountain in the Primordial True Realm, Long Qingge gazed skyward, beholding the unfolding events.
He was far from alone; countless Chaos Ancient Clans across the Ten Thousand Clans and Primordial True Realm viewed the True King selection via the swirling vortex.
The role of True King carried immense weight, dictating leadership over the Ten Thousand Clans, compelling these Chaos Ancient Clans to engage fiercely in the calamity. Consequently, they invested great concern in the chosen leader, yearning for one of true competence.
"Brother Haotian is vying for True King!"
Upon the Chaos Star, Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and their companions halted their training to stare at the conflict projecting from the vortex.
This awe-inspiring force, forged from the might of Ten Emperors, linked the True Realm with the Primordial True Realm, spanning the domains of the Ten Thousand Clans and enabling core inhabitants to behold the spectacle.
Yet, common folk in the Immortal Cities remained sightless to it, lacking the immense energy required to sustain the vortex conduit.
"Is Junior Brother truly contending for True King?"
Back in the Emperor Clan, Di Lingshu had rejoined her people. Eight centuries had elapsed since her enlightenment of the Chaos Star, and in her ready state, she had come to aid her clan.
Witnessing Li Hao's shocking fourth place in the True King lineup left her dazed. Hadn't this Junior Brother only recently stepped into the Immortal King Realm within those eight hundred years? How could he now rival the clan's venerable ancestors for True King in such a short span, surpassing those who had cultivated for tens of millennia?
"So this is the contest for True King?"
Observers from various great clans watched intently. Spotting known figures within, those acquainted with Li Hao reeled in disbelief.
"Child, is he the one you often ponder? Never anticipated such a phenomenal prodigy."
In a timeless sanctuary of the True Realm, within a hidden sect, an old woman uttered gently.
Known as the No Beginning Ancestor Mother, she lacked Emperor status yet stood as a Quasi-Emperor. Due to certain factors, even Emperors honored her, viewing her beyond a mere Quasi-Emperor.
"He's always shone this brightly..."
Perched on a cliff's brink, Lin Qingyue in her verdant robes lifted her gaze afar, eyes aglow. Joy surged upon glimpsing Li Hao, but the charged glance exchanged with Shi Miao quelled her elation like fire quenched by icy deluge.
While Li Hao's position and feats impressed, her focus stayed wholly on the man.
"From the looks of it, though he may not rival those reborn Quasi-Emperors or inheritors of great clans, a solid shot remains for ninth or tenth True King spot. He might then opt for our No Beginning Sect, easing mutual support."
Unaware of the shadow in her disciple's gaze, the No Beginning Ancestor Mother concentrated sharply, fixated on the youth within the Heaven Tower.
A faint surprise touched Lin Qingyue. In that case, reunion awaited?
Battling side by side... she nibbled her lip lightly. The calamity's scope was immense, endangering every soul among the True Realm's Ten Thousand Clans. Eastern Domain's mighty clans failed to contain it; myriad races had perished. In this dire hour, should she aid him...
"I'll give it my all."
Lin Qingyue whispered, a flicker of hope dawning in her eyes.
Meanwhile, upon the arena, the bout between Shi Miao and Luo Ningshuang concluded swiftly. The Star Empress and Immortal Immortal Emperor stayed composed, seemingly anticipating the outcome. Before the Star Empress could prompt, Shi Miao declared:
"I wish to press on with challenges."
At these words, the 18th-ranked elder of the Dao Clan's expression darkened, though he recognized the inevitability.
Based on Shi Miao's earlier ascent through the Heaven Tower levels, inclusion in the True King ranks was assured.
"Additional challengers may advance together."
Surveying the scene, the Star Empress addressed the surrounding participants.
In response, two silhouettes promptly emerged, one a reborn Quasi-Emperor at eleventh rank eager to commence his trial.
The second, a youth with violet locks ranked fifth, fixed his stare upon Li Hao.
