Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1909 - 512: The Embryonic Form of Emperor Dao (2)

"Individuals mastering the Multiple Realms Emperor Dao truly exist within our cultivation path!"

"A Quasi-Emperor's reincarnation has been overcome. It's clear why he attained such impressive heights at the Seventh Level of the Immortal King Realm!"

"What an extraordinary domain—could it be possible to practice Emperor Dao while at the Immortal King Realm?!"

Everyone stood dumbfounded, their gazes fixed on Li Hao. The might he unleashed had fully dispelled their uncertainties, soothing the turbulent emotions among numerous contenders in the top twenty.

"Incredibly powerful—fortunate that we didn't act impulsively and selected him promptly."

An elder from the Dao Clan drew in a deep breath before uttering those words.

Dao Qingyin's stunningly beautiful and immaculate face grew solemn as she remarked, "Something extraordinary is happening here with this freakish talent! Without the Emperor's reincarnation dominating this True King selection, he might have vied for the top spot!"

"Evidently, even Di Mingyuan of the Emperor Clan falls short."

The remaining Immortal Kings of the Dao Clan let out sighs, lost in profound thoughts about that youth.

Within the Emperor Clan, Di Mingyuan's countenance turned grave. As the present inheritor of the Emperor Clan's lineage, the recent clash he witnessed from Li Hao left him filled with doubt.

Furthermore, it was obvious that the youth hadn't exerted his full potential yet!

"No King in this era can match him; amid disasters, even more fearsome Extreme Realm powerhouses emerge."

From the major clans, whispers spread with faces showing intricate mixes of awe and complexity.

Observers from lesser clans in the clan realm felt both astonishment and joy; a more formidable True King meant better prospects for guiding them through conflicts. The True Realm now brimmed with the fires of war, desperately requiring a push to alter the frontlines.

"The challenges persist!"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor declared in a frosty tone.

The forms of Li Hao and Wan Jijun were shifted away from the combat platform, enveloped by an immense and mysterious force that steadied Li Hao's surging energies without any depletion, restoring his faintly scorched Divine Blood to fullness as though time itself had turned back.

Wan Jijun experienced the identical restoration, yet his look carried a hint of frustration. He cast a profound glance toward Li Hao but remained silent.

The rest traded glances before choosing their adversaries.

Shi Miao engaged in battles and issued challenges, swiftly ascending to the tenth position.

"What rank are you aiming for?"

Upon the platform, Shen Jueling, heir to the Ancient God Clan, confronted Shi Miao.

Shi Miao eyed the leaderboard nearby, aware that the top spot belonged to that Emperor's reincarnation.

She recognized the slim chances against the reincarnated form of her foe, but beyond that...

"At minimum, second place."

Shi Miao responded.

A chill entered Shen Jueling's eyes; though he anticipated her ambitious goal, he hadn't foreseen her dismissing all others save the Emperor's reincarnation. Yet, having seen her dominate her fights with ease, he perceived her alarming prowess.

Prior to mounting the stage, he'd gotten bloodline transmissions from his family; this female was the rebirth of a Quasi-Emperor from antiquity, a King in her prior life. Her present combat ability outstripped even Wan Jijun's.

"A Quasi-Emperor who endured the catastrophe from eons past—reveal your authentic domain to me!"

Shen Jueling locked his gaze onto Shi Miao's eyes.

While yielding immediately to conserve power and hide capabilities would be prudent, the honor of the Ancient God Clan and his own dignity forbade such a choice.

"Against you, it's still beyond reach."

Shi Miao stated flatly, without scorn or arrogance, merely conveying the truth.

With those words, she wasted no more time, as laws of Time Dao swirled around her form.

Her domain expanded, though not its genuine manifestation.

Even so, the essence of a King's presence shone through, laced with dread-inducing Time Dao might and echoes of rebirth cycles.

Shen Jueling's face shifted, promptly igniting his Ancient God Clan bloodline to unleash waves of Extreme Realm and Ultimate Realm forces, his domain blooming to reveal an archaic Divine Emperor Dharma image looming behind him, immense within his territory.

His domain took the shape of the Divine Sea Realm Domain, integrating more than a hundred realms—none elite among them. Still, the combination of so many lent his domain an aura akin to a King's Domain.

"Heavens above, a King's Domain, and both combatants are Kings!"

"The Ancient God Clan holds only tenth place, yet wields a King's Domain—what extremes must those higher up possess!"

"King's Domains vary in potency, as seen with Wan Jijun before—who can tell which prevails here."

Countless eyes bulged in surprise; this confrontation offered a supreme chance for cultivation insights. Capturing even a fragment could profoundly advance their own paths, perhaps why the Emperors permitted the True Realm's myriad races to observe.

"My domain remains imperfect; should I perfect the merging of countless realms, I could shatter a King's Domain in a heartbeat!"

Arrogance flickered in Shen Jueling's gaze. As successor to a premier clan, he'd forged his unique route to its utmost, convinced of his equality to any rival.

"If it's not perfected, then keep refining your cultivation."

Shi Miao declared, her domain projecting the burden of temporal inversion, which engulfed everything and dimmed the Divine Sea Realm Domain's radiance abruptly, as if shrouded in shadow, savagely ripping away all Divine Light.

Moreover, Shen Jueling's cultivation at Immortal King Perfection began to waver and regress.

Terror flashed in Shen Jueling's eyes; he hadn't anticipated his foe's Time Dao to wield such dread, impacting him directly.

"Time Dao—I've also attained the Tenth Layer; whom do you think you're belittling?"

Shen Jueling growled lowly, channeling Time Dao Laws inside the Divine Sea to counter the inverting pressure.

Shi Miao's face stayed impassive, but a shimmering, variegated glow briefly crossed her brow, instantly crumbling the Time Dao Law forces in the Divine Sea Realm Domain, followed by a merciless surge that swiftly blanketed layer upon layer of Divine Light.
