Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1797: Chapter 467: King’s Domain Realm (2)

Moreover, if time permits... it is even possible to continuously refine more top-notch World Hearts, merging them, allowing multiple King’s Domain Hearts to coexist!

The more Li Hao thought about it, the more terrifying it felt. If it truly reached that extent, it was hard to imagine how powerful it would be.

"He is not wrong. Although the King’s Domain Heart is strong, among the Seven Monarchs a hundred thousand years ago, only two eventually forged their own Emperor’s Path; the rest failed, including the one beside you."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor said calmly.

Shi Miao, hearing this, dissatisfiedly glanced at him, feeling that he belittled her in front of Li Hao, muttering, "If not for the Ancient Devil War, I would have certainly forged my own Emperor’s Path. In this lifetime, I will definitely walk it!"

Li Hao understood his master’s implication; that was to say, the King’s Domain Heart is not as important as the Emperor’s Path.

"Disciple understands."

Li Hao said.

Seeing Li Hao comprehend, Dao Origin Immortal Emperor nodded slightly. He was well aware of this young disciple’s wisdom and said, "This time you go to the Eastern Domain, your fifth senior brother will be looking after you. The challenge of the Original Demon Cave holds little true significance for you, and as your master, I will permit you to descend the mountain."

Li Hao nodded and asked, "Original Demon Cave is?"

"Original Demon Cave is an extremely terrifying secret realm. You know the central area of the Primordial True Realm is Chaos. It was the original True Realm; thus, it’s closest to the world’s origin. There, a place connects to the deepest part of the world, that is Original Demon Cave!"

"There, it should be considered the very first Ancient Demon Cave, holding the ancestral blood seed of the Ancient Demon Clan!"

"Ancestral blood seed?"

Li Hao’s expression changed slightly, not expecting the shadow of Ancient Demons here.

"Simply put, it’s the initial Ancient Demon. The Ancient Demons you see outside today are those produced after countless generations. Compared to the original Demons, they are much weaker."

Shi Miao said.

Li Hao’s expression changed slightly. Original Demons stronger than Ancient Demons? One must know, the extraordinary physique of the Ancient Demon Clan could easily crush the Ten Thousand Clans at the same level, only geniuses of the same level could slay them, ordinary elites could barely match them.

"Master, where did this Ancient Demon Clan originate?"

Li Hao asked, feeling the Ancient Demon Clan was extremely mysterious, but his master likely knew their origins.

Hearing Li Hao’s words, Dao Origin Immortal Emperor fell silent. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "You’ve now already broken through and been proclaimed a king; some things don’t need hiding from you. However, knowing also won’t be of much use, this Ancient Demon Clan originates from Reincarnation!"

"Reincarnation?"

Li Hao was startled, suddenly recalling something the Ancient Demon Clan girl, Mi Xueyao, had said, about Reincarnation Fragments.

"It is said, Reincarnation has shattered, so the Ancient Demons came to the True Realm, seizing the world belonging to the Ten Thousand Clans."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor slowly said, "Once, there was an Immortal Emperor who planned to unite forces, employing a ’Reverse Demon Plan’, attempting to invade the world of the Ancient Demon Clan, only to find their world already in tatters. This meant the Ancient Demon Clan had no retreat. We once had an Immortal Emperor go to negotiate, willing to split part of the True Realm for them to reside, but that Immortal Emperor ultimately was disgracefully besieged by them, escaping heavily wounded, almost perishing."

Saying this, his eyes emitted a cold gleam.

The True Realm Ten Thousand Races showed goodwill, willing to coexist with the Ancient Demons, but the Ancient Demon Clan intended to swallow the entire True Realm Ten Thousand Races, reigning as kings, reducing the Ten Thousand Clans to livestock.

Li Hao was momentarily stunned, his face involuntarily darkened, knowing that, including his master, several Immortal Emperors had made extensive efforts and attempts in the past, all failing, leading to the cataclysmic calamity of a hundred thousand years ago.

"Even the original demon cave’s seventh level challenge, if you go, you can pass. It requires the battle strength of the second level of the Immortal King Realm, and your foundation is deep. Though you have just broken through and been proclaimed a king, you are already enough to rival the second level of the Immortal King Realm."

Shi Miao said to Li Hao.

It’s not just the Double World Heart; Li Hao’s Heavenly Dao Power within, combined with various Extreme Realm and Final Realm powers, including Extreme Dao Chaos, True God Blood, etc., were enough for Li Hao to unleash the power of the second level of the Immortal King Realm.

"Then, does that mean the two who passed the Original Demon Cave’s ninth level can easily slay the peak of the first level of the Immortal King Realm?"

Li Hao asked in surprise.

Shi Miao nodded, "That already equates to barely matching the power of the third level of the Immortal King Realm, Ancestor Emperor Power, very terrifying."

Li Hao was somewhat speechless; he had condensed the Double World Heart, yet it was no match to the opponent awakening Ancestor Emperor Power. Is this the foundation of lineage?

An open path without background still cannot compare to the casual display of the Heavenly Dragon People... Li Hao chuckled bitterly but had no intention to compete with those people. Cultivation is a solitary path of seeking the Way, akin to him contemplating a chess game, this process is not to defeat an opponent, but to break through almost unsolvable moves; this process is self-improvement and sublimation, unrelated to outsiders.

Forging an Emperor’s Path is also such a quest; the "enemy" is only one’s own difficulties and problems in how to let multiple World Hearts coexist.

"Old Wu."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor called, Long Qingge’s avatar appeared, stepping forward to pay respects: "Master."

"I am sending Hao Er to you, watch over him."

Long Qingge nodded, knowing the master had mentioned this matter before. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the little junior brother; though they were fellow disciples, if they could become closer and become battle companions, it would undoubtedly be significantly beneficial for the future Ancestor Dragon Court of the Eastern Domain.

"Master, rest assured, even if I have to risk my life, I will not let my little junior brother get hurt!"

Long Qingge immediately promised.

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, saying to Li Hao: "If so, follow your fifth senior brother."

"Yes."

Li Hao nodded.

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor raised his hand, drawing a circle in the void, after which six rays of Divine Light fell from it, astonishingly, forming a set of Domain Artifacts!

Gazing at this set of Domain Artifacts, Dao Origin Immortal Emperor’s eyes showed a trace of sadness but quickly concealed it. He pushed the set of Domain Artifacts toward Li Hao and said slowly:

"This was the Domain Artifact of a disciple of an old friend in the past, sealed with three seals. You’ll unlock them as you reach the third, sixth, and ninth levels of the Immortal King Realm. Otherwise, with your current power, you can’t control it."

"Twilight of the Gods?"

Shi Miao’s expression changed on seeing this set of Domain Artifacts, somewhat shocked.

Li Hao looked over, noting the armor of the Domain Artifact seemed to have tear-like golden marks, resembling some dried traces, accurately speaking, like blood traces!

"Why is this Domain Artifact in your hands?"

Shi Miao couldn’t help but look toward Dao Origin Immortal Emperor.

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor looked at the Domain Artifact, saying calmly: "Naturally, both that old friend and his disciple have fallen silent."

Shi Miao’s expression changed slightly, but seemingly thinking of something, ultimately said nothing.

Li Hao asked Shi Miao, "What is the history of this Domain Artifact?"

Shi Miao nodded slightly, "This Domain Artifact belonged to one of the Seven Monarchs a hundred thousand years ago, the Armor shed by the God-Slaying Emperor. Before the battle, the God-Slaying Emperor had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm. In their youth, they slaughtered the Ancient God Clan over some matter, defeating their young geniuses. That day, the Ancient God Clan suffered a severe setback, losing much of their prestige. At that time, it was while wearing this Domain Artifact, hence the name."

Li Hao was stunned, immediately recognizing this item had a long history.

The Ancient God Clan’s Shen Wuji, whom he had met before, was very friendly to him.

The events of a hundred thousand years ago compared to ten thousand years later, with changes aplenty, Li Hao naturally wouldn’t confuse the two, especially considering these great clans, where people are bound to be both good and bad, virtuous and wicked, and can’t be generalized.

"This is top-tier Immortal King Realm Domain Artifact, usable up to the Tenth Level of the Immortal King Realm."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor said to Li Hao, "Besides, your Immortal Sword is already inadequate for showcasing your power. As your master, I will give you another one."

He raised his hand, and suddenly a gray electric light appeared in the void, with space faintly trembling, as if something extremely terrifying was about to emerge.

Soon, a pitch-black Ink Sword appeared, with spirals of blood threads wrapped around the hilt, and an eyeball at the end, which, as Li Hao watched, suddenly rotated, looking straight at him.

As they locked eyes, Li Hao suddenly felt a slight jolt in his mind, as if a powerful spiritual sword hum had entered his consciousness, akin to a streak of sword light cutting through his perception, splitting deep into the Sea of Consciousness.
