Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1702: Chapter 429: Instant Kill (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Gu Mofan and the others felt a chill. It seemed the master had a particular fondness for this junior apprentice.

Although they were all highly valued by the master, love... the care was palpable in its difference; the master definitely favored this junior apprentice.

Li Hao was also somewhat taken aback. He silently glanced at the master and bowed his head, saying, "Thank you, master!"

Seeing the master had spoken, the others didn’t try to persuade any further, knowing the master could see things they couldn’t, gazing upon more distant timelines.

Since the master allowed it, this battle was likely not too dangerous.

"I’ll use my true form to cheer for our junior apprentice!"

Long Qingge said, his eyes revealing a fighting spirit. As part of the Ancestor Dragon Clan, his fervor was easily ignited, soon clenching his fist and waving at Li Hao: "Junior brother, if you’re going to fight, you must win and beat him to a pulp!"

Li Hao smiled. Winning was just the beginning; if it was a blood duel, then lives must be claimed!

He immediately activated the Chaos Heavenly Dao list, responding to the challenge.

...

Original Land.

On a certain mountain peak, a group of figures knelt before a youth in dark golden armor.

Suddenly, one of the kneeling silhouettes looked surprised, then excitedly raised his head, his face full of joy:

"Senior brother, he responded, he actually dared to agree!"

He was Wu Ming, who challenged Li Hao, looking aloof with sword-like brows, possessing a cold demeanor, yet now he was smiling affably, filled with excitement and flattery.

"Hmm?"

The dark golden armored youth raised an eyebrow, eyes showing a bit of surprise, then curled his lips in a cold smile: "Still the same as always, that boy hasn’t changed a bit, but does he really think this is still the All Heavens?"

"In that case, the rest of you need not act."

He raised his hand, looking at the numerous figures kneeling below the hall, these were the Outer Sect disciples of the Original Land, also peak talents from various clans.

Upon hearing the dark golden armored youth’s words, disappointment appeared in their eyes, followed by envy towards Wu Ming, surprised that his first challenge was directly answered.

If they knew it would be like this, they would have knelt earlier, so that they could be the first!

"That boy is very arrogant; remember, in this fight, you must kill him. Even if his master, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, uses Heavenly Dao Power to spare him a life, I will ruin his foundation and make him a cripple!"

The dark golden armored youth looked down at Wu Ming, speaking coldly with eyes full of coldness, exuding a vast and heavy pressure; though not in the Immortal King Realm, it was already not weaker than ordinary Immortal Kings.

"Rest assured, senior brother, I won’t give him any chance!"

Wu Ming nodded excitedly, eyes full of confidence and killing intent.

"Should you succeed, I’ll share a Chapter of the Original Chaos Skill from the master with you, ensuring your breakthrough sealing into the King Realm, becoming a formidable King Realm expert!"

The dark golden armored youth said indifferently.

Hearing his words, Wu Ming was overjoyed, bowing repeatedly in gratitude.

Although they addressed each other as "senior and junior brothers," their actual statuses were greatly disparate, especially in the environment of this Original Land, where everything was ruled by strength, with icy cold order; if the senior brother wished, he could eliminate them all with a flick of a finger without any punishment, and if they offended him, they would face a disaster!

...

Extreme Dao Mountain, in the grand hall.

"When is the challenge scheduled?"

Di Lingshu asked.

"Tomorrow."

Li Hao replied.

"Good, I’ll accompany you tomorrow. I want to see what kind of courage drives that person!"

Di Lingshu’s face was full of coldness.

The others said no more, Gu Mofan asked Li Hao: "You’re challenging tomorrow, will you be ready?"

"Yes."

Li Hao nodded.

He could condense Chaos Law at any moment, but to avoid being flustered, he planned to condense three Chaos Laws first.

"I wanted to ask, who is this?"

Di Wushe turned his gaze to Shi Miao beside Li Hao.

Upon his question, others’ gazes fell as well; they had sensed this woman’s extraordinariness earlier, eliciting an inexplicable feeling of threat, a rare occurrence.

Shi Miao looked calm; she had battled against the top talents of various domains in the True Realm ten thousand years ago, shining brightly in that era, whereas both Gu Mofan and Di Wushe belonged to a later generation, she regarded them as juniors.

"I am his guardian."

Shi Miao gazed at Li Hao with gentle eyes, wishing to accompany him while guarding him in this lifetime.

Li Hao was slightly stunned by this, exchanged glances with Shi Miao, and then told the others, "Her name is Shi Miao, she is my Dao companion."

Shi Miao was taken aback, her cheeks suddenly flushed, her gaze towards Li Hao turning even warmer.

"Dao companion?"

The others were slightly stunned by Li Hao’s introduction but understood immediately upon seeing Shi Miao’s demeanor.

"Shi Miao, this name sounds familiar."

Gu Mofan murmured to himself.

"You all may disperse."

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor gestured to dismiss them, not elaborating on Shi Miao’s identity.

Seeing this, none of them lingered in curiosity and dispersed individually.

Li Hao also bid farewell to his master, returning to his own fence garden at the mountain top.

Shi Miao raised her hand to form a Space-Time Realm, enveloping Li Hao within it, saying, "Before the battle tomorrow, how many Chaos Laws can you condense?"

She had no doubt in Li Hao’s ability to condense Chaos Laws, only assessing how many, unwilling to let Li Hao truly risk it.

"At least three."

Li Hao answered.

He was being conservative; if necessary, he felt capable of condensing 23 Chaos Laws in one go!
