Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1787: Chapter 462: Heavenly Authority (Part 2)

However, seeing the other party easily slay Gu Xie, who had unlocked the Domain Artifact, was too shocking; though they were dissatisfied, they endured it.

Xue Consort stood on one side, her face also gloomy. Despite thinking highly of herself, she didn’t consider herself a match for the black-robed youth. She vaguely felt that the other party might be a Great Emperor reincarnated; the previous Divine Venerable was a Quasi-Emperor Realm reincarnation, but did not possess such terrifying power.

This Great Emperor wanted to compete with them for this opportunity, and apart from feeling contemptuous and resentful, she could only endure it.

Quickly, the Heavenly Dao’s pressure enveloped, the clouds and mist suddenly formed around the black-robed youth, shrouding him.

The supreme Heavenly power diffused from the peak, causing everyone to change color.

"Indeed, the earlier Haotian failed to prove the Heavenly Heart!"

"It seems he truly failed."

Su Wanyi was also stunned, her eyes filled with both shock and complexity, not expecting that such an amazingly talented genius would fail to prove the Heavenly Heart.

"Proving the Heavenly Heart depends not only on one’s talent, but also other aspects. From what he shouted earlier, it seems he endured tremendous pain and chose to abandon proving the Heavenly Heart,"

Luo Ningshuang whispered, unconsciously lowering the status of that youth in her heart.

In the face of such an opportunity to prove the Heavenly Heart, even tremendous suffering could be endured, after all, it’s the path to becoming an Emperor!

The ultimate realm of cultivation, truly a step to ascend the heavens!

In the face of such a grand opportunity, what could be sacrificed, what pain could not be endured?

Su Wanyi also understood this point, feeling regret for Li Hao. Such a monstrous talent could not overcome the final hurdle, causing sighs.

"If he also fails, we still have a chance."

Luo Ningshuang said, her eyes flashing with light, contemplating whether to use some method to disrupt the other’s process of proving the Heavenly Heart.

Apart from her, others also harbored similar thoughts.

Meanwhile, Li Hao was already gliding downwards, and as he approached the bottom, he saw many figures striving to climb upwards.

Among them, he saw the Su Family sisters whom he had met before.

"Haotian?"

Seeing Li Hao, the Su Family sisters and others were also stunned, somewhat surprised.

"Are you trying to go up?"

Li Hao glanced over, noticing besides them, Di Lincen was there, along with Shen Wuji of the Ancient God Clan, the sisters of the Ghost Tribe, and many of the Southern Domain’s geniuses from the battle were present.

"Were you forced by them...?"

Su Muqing couldn’t help but speak, her eyes revealing urgency, but she stopped midway, worried about hurting Li Hao’s self-esteem.

Su Wanqing directly took out two Domain Artifacts, her dress torn and stained with some Divine Blood, but her expression firm: "These are my two Domain Artifacts. I encountered some danger earlier and used one; you can take them both. Is there still time?"

Li Hao remained silent for a moment, seeing Di Lincen also take out a Domain Artifact, including the Ghost Tribe sisters who each produced a Domain Artifact. He was somewhat moved but soon smiled and said:

"I’ve already been up there; I came down on my own. Come, I’ll take you up to see."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to perform the Chaos Law, enveloping them within.

"You’ve already been up there?"

Hearing Li Hao’s words, everyone was stunned, then looked at Li Hao with joy.

Shen Wuji couldn’t help but ask: "Did you prove the Heavenly Heart? What is it like up there?"

Li Hao avoided his preceding words, pondered for a moment, and said: "The scenery up there is just that; it’s a broader view but not as clear."

The view from the mountaintop is nothing more than a panoramic view of the world, while being within the world, climbing to the top isn’t necessary.

Hearing Li Hao’s words, everyone was somewhat speechless, but Li Hao said no more, performing transformations and continuing downward to gather Gu Yan and Yue Xi. Meanwhile, he led the others to continue upwards.

Although the climb had no meaning for him, others could comprehend more laws at higher positions, a test for their Heavenly Heart.

Though reaching the summit was the greatest opportunity, the journey up and down was also a rare cultivation process.

Seeing Li Hao take everyone onto the heavenly path and disappear, others around expressed envy and climbed all the harder.

Along the way, Li Hao constantly surpassed those refining more than a dozen Chaos Laws. As he approached the mountaintop, thunder suddenly roared, the heavenly path trembled, and then a series of low growls emerged from below, as if the 72 statue-like Quasi-Emperor Realm giants were softly howling.

A vast power reverberated from the heavenly path, sending everyone above falling like ants, trembling down.

"What’s happening?"

"Someone proved the Heavenly Heart!"

Countless were shocked, feeling both bewildered and heartbroken.

Li Hao was also bounced away from the heavenly path. Using his power, he enveloped the Su Family sisters and others, suspending them in mid-air, and saw the towering heavenly path surrounded by extraordinary Realm Power, impossible to approach. Then, clouds rolled in the sky, revealing a massive vortex, like a foggy cave, swallowing the heavenly path.

The ground-hosted 72 Quasi-Emperor Realm giants raised the heavenly path, soared upwards, delivering it into the foggy cave, slowly vanishing before everyone.

Seeing the heavenly path depart, many who had been desperately climbing expressed their grief at not having had time to fully comprehend.

Li Hao glanced around, seeing familiar figures like Luo Ningshuang and those from the Chaos Ancient Clan rushing from above.

"Huh?"

Li Hao noticed the absence of the black-robed youth and prompted, "Did he prove the Heavenly Heart?"

Upon hearing Li Hao’s query, the crowd paid him attention, their faces showing not only anger but also a trace of complexity, appearing somewhat relieved.

"Yes, he was taken by the heavenly path,"

Su Wanyi responded to Li Hao, seeing Li Hao with the Su Family sisters beside him softened her expression slightly.

Li Hao’s eyes flickered, surprised that the opponent, as a Great Emperor reincarnated, willingly accepted the Heavenly Heart mission.

"You climbed the first but failed; it’s truly a pity."

Chi Yuan’s eyes, full of anger, shifted to Li Hao, instantly turning to mockery, finding some pleasure.

"Hmm?"

Li Hao was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting the other party to dare challenge him.

Bang!

He raised his hand, a light of Chaos Infinite Sword Qi suddenly shot out.

The sharp sword’s edge instantly tore through the void; Chi Yuan was startled, his face dramatically changing, clearly not anticipating a killing move in response to a tease.

He grunted angrily, "Are you crazy?!"

With the heavenly path gone, he had no reason to fight Li Hao unless he could defeat him.

The sword Qi’s terror made him feel intense cold; he could only release the Domain Artifact, a thud resounded, and Realm Power encased him, protecting his body inside. Then, the Domain Artifact trembled as if struck hard, ricocheting away.

Subsequently, the sword Qi suddenly split, transforming into thousands of overlapping sword shadows, actually piercing through the Realm Power.

Chi Yuan’s pupils contracted in horror, finally understanding why the black-robed youth was defeated; this boy also had the means to suppress Realm Power!

"Madman, stop immediately!"

He shouted in panic; his Domain Artifact maneuvered to block the sword Qi but too late. The sword Qi pierced his chest, tearing his sizeable body apart, damaging several dozen drops of True God Blood, requiring a long time to repair.

Just one strike penetrated the Domain Artifact, causing severe injury, leaving the body broken.

Seeing this, others’ faces changed, unexpectedly discovering Li Hao’s ruthlessness in his actions.

Chi Yuan didn’t linger, his body transformed into blood smoke, deploying Bloodline Power, and once again performed another Domain Artifact unsealing, flying away in terror of Li Hao’s pursuit.

Su Wanqing, Di Lincen, Shen Wuji, and others saw this scene, stunned that Chi Yuan, seen as one of the top geniuses in their eyes, was heavily injured by Li Hao in one move, only able to escape.

"Let’s go; this journey’s end, we all can breakthrough and be kings upon return,"

Seeing the other party using consecutive Domain Artifacts for self-preservation, Li Hao felt no need to chase, telling those around him.
