The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 655 Ascending to Heaven in One Step

“I knew he wouldn’t miss this battle between the dragon and the python.”

The ghost sisters looked at each other, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes. Although they didn't have much interaction with Li Hao, for some reason, seeing this young man from the same generation competing with those top geniuses made them feel a sense of pride and excitement.

"you……"

When Lin Zhexuan saw that the Su sisters, including the arrogant Di Linchen from the imperial clan, were willing to give away their domain artifacts unconditionally to the young man, his expression changed slightly.

He didn't know what was so charming about the boy. These guys weren't usually the type to fawn over the powerful, but they all fawned over him.

"Those four ancient chaotic race members from the primordial land possess at least twelve domain artifacts. Hopefully, he can join forces with the others..."

Su Wanqing looked up, and after the surprise in her eyes faded, only worry remained.

Upon hearing this, the others also showed signs of worry.

At the same time, Li Hao's figure was already rapidly flying upwards along the Heavenly Road.

As soon as he arrived on this Heavenly Road, he felt its magic. It contained an extremely strong pressure from the Great Dao, making every step difficult, like climbing a snow-capped mountain. The higher he went, the more bone-chilling the cold became.

At the same time, every few hundred meters there is a complex Dao pattern on the ground. When you get close, the Dao pattern will light up and turn into a terrifying attack of laws. There is corruption and destruction. If you cannot resist, you will be annihilated under the attack of these laws and disappear on the road to heaven.

Fortunately, these laws and pressures were nothing to him; he could easily withstand them with a wave of his sleeve.

As he sped away, numerous Dao patterns lit up on the ground, and the laws, like dragons, roared and coiled towards Li Hao.

Li Hao casually flicked out the Chaos Law, which severed and knocked it down, and the law was suppressed by a stronger law.

As he continued to ascend, Li Hao also assessed the intensity of the Heavenly Road. When he could no longer see other climbers beneath his feet, the laws that had condensed before him were now comparable in strength to forging 20 Chaos Laws.

But Li Hao still didn't see anyone else here.

He extended his divine sense and continued to climb forward. After several hundred meters, he soon saw signs of a fight ahead.

Li Hao did not conceal his aura and flew straight away.

As he approached, Li Hao saw familiar faces: the Chaos Crimson Demon Clan, Luo Ning Shuang and Su Wan Yi whom he had met earlier, and the snow-haired woman who followed the God Venerable.

These people were also taken aback when they saw Li Hao suddenly appear, and they all stared at him in astonishment.

"You, you actually dare to come here?!"

Chi Yuan, who was fighting with Su Wanyi, was stunned when he saw Li Hao appear. His first reaction was that this human had come to die, but his second reaction was that the god might be deceiving them.
Without a domain artifact, they dare to come here to compete?!
"How can I be absent from the struggle between dragons and snakes?"

Upon hearing their words, Li Hao couldn't help but sneer. He then glanced at them, seeing that they were locked in a fierce fight, and said loudly:
"Then I'll take my leave first. Please continue."

Having said that, his figure soared into the sky like a roc spreading its wings, taking a single step over the area where everyone was fighting and rushing upwards.

Seeing that Li Hao actually dared to try to attack first, Chi Yuan and the others came to their senses and were shocked and furious: "Stop him!"

"kill him!"

Bone Demon said in a stern voice.

He could tell that Li Hao was agile, so without saying a word, he directly transformed the pressure of his domain artifact into a mountain and crashed towards Li Hao.

His move was also a test to see if Li Hao really had no more domain artifacts.

Faced with the attack, cold lightning flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He suddenly turned his head, and the domain power of the domain artifact enveloped him like a hundred thousand mountains. If an ordinary Immortal Lord were hit like this, he would be turned into dust on the spot. No matter how many laws he was subjected to, he would be unable to resist it. However, he suddenly raised his hand, and the Chaos Limitless Law condensed into a fist and sword. Then, 24 Chaos Laws were layered on top of each other, transforming into 24 sword beams.

"broken!"

Li Hao unleashed a punch, the power of that domain was extremely powerful, yet it seemed to have encountered an iron nail, and was suddenly torn apart. However, the sword light on Li Hao's fist did not diminish, and it went straight for the Chaos Ancient Clan.

All things return to their origin, cause and effect reversed; the sword's edge seemed to pierce directly through the opponent's chest, reflecting in his pupils.

In an instant, three thousand sword beams shone, and the opponent's entire body was torn apart by the sword power erupting from within him. Even his primordial spirit was instantly annihilated by the sword energy!
The domain artifact enveloped him, but failed to protect him. A crack appeared, and the power of cause and effect seeped through the crack, instantly killing him.

"you……"

Bone Demon's pupils contracted as he felt his entire body enveloped by a terrifying power, making it difficult to struggle. Before he could even ignite his True God Blood, he exploded on the spot, his immortal body and primordial spirit shattered, and he perished instantly.

This scene looked as if Li Hao turned around and threw a punch to block the power of the realm, while the Bone Demon in the distance also exploded in response.

"what's the situation?"

The great battle suddenly fell silent. Chi Yuan and the others stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Despite possessing a domain artifact, and with the artifact still active for ten breaths, Bone Demon was actually killed by Li Hao with a single punch from afar?!

Upon seeing this, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and the others all stopped, their faces showing astonishment, followed by a hint of horror.

They realized that Li Hao hadn't used a domain artifact, but without one, could he possibly withstand it with just his own strength?!

Upon seeing this scene, Xuefei was stunned and speechless, remaining rooted to the spot without making a move.

Li Hao glanced at them, his gaze sweeping over Chi Yuan and the others. He narrowed his eyes slightly, intending to make a move against them, but a premonition suddenly struck him. He looked up at the sky road above, where something seemed to be waiting for him.

"Don't bother me anymore."

He didn't say much, leaving only one sentence before rushing out and leaving the crowd behind.

Seeing Li Hao leave, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream. The burly middle-aged man standing next to Luo Ning Shuang also came to his senses, gasped, and said, "Is this the personal disciple of the Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor?"

Luo Ningshuang was somewhat dazed. If Li Hao's aura hadn't still been that of a Celestial Lord, she would have suspected that he had already broken through to the King realm.

After a brief silence, the group suddenly realized that this was the Heavenly Road.

"Quickly, chase after them!"

Chi Yuan also realized what was happening and could no longer continue fighting Luo Ningshuang and the others. If Li Hao were to reach the top, they would have no chance left.

"If we don't want all our efforts to be in vain, let's join forces and stop him!"

Chi Yuan roared as he ran.

The other two had no objections. After Luo Ningshuang and Xue Fei realized what was happening, they followed closely behind them. Upon hearing this, they remained silent.

"Don't even think about it."

Only Su Wanyi retorted with a cold laugh. Chi Yuan glared at her fiercely upon hearing her words. As they continued upwards, in addition to the Dao patterns, a mysterious whisper echoed from the ground.

The whispers were ethereal, containing some kind of Daoist sound. Their speed slowed down, and some people looked blank, as if they were trapped in an illusion. They stopped in place and did not move.

At the same time, Li Hao, who was speeding ahead, also heard the indistinct whispers. The higher he went, the clearer the voice became. He frowned and continued forward. Suddenly, he saw a dark figure ahead, walking slowly on the Heavenly Road.

Li Hao scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that he had seen this dark figure before in the Ninth Heaven Domain; it was the black-robed youth who had stared at him on the lake.

Seemingly sensing the movement behind him, the black-robed youth turned around. Seeing Li Hao arrive, he showed no surprise, simply saying calmly:

"I never expected that someone would be able to compete with me for the Heavenly Road this time."

Li Hao narrowed his eyes and stared intently, asking, "Who are you? The reincarnation of the Great Emperor?"

"Have you heard of me?"

A look of surprise appeared in the black-robed youth's eyes, as if he hadn't expected that he would still be recognized despite his low-key lifestyle in this life.

Li Hao shook his head: "I don't know him, but I have already defeated the reincarnation of the Quasi-Emperor realm. The only one who can get here is probably the reincarnation of the Great Emperor."

Upon hearing Li Hao's deduction, the young man in black fell silent, seemingly amused. He lowered his eyes and chuckled before saying, "An interesting deduction. And you? Are you one too?"

"I'm not."

"You certainly don't seem like it."

The young man in black robes nodded, his eyes flashing with a strange purplish-green light, like flames. Soon, surprise appeared in his eyes as he said:
"His lifespan is only a few hundred years, yet he is so young."

Li Hao stared intently into the other's eyes and understood why he had felt an urgent urgency after killing the Chaos Ancient Clan member. If he continued to entangle with the Chaos Crimson Demon Clan and the others, they might just reach the top.

"Since you are the reincarnation of the Great Emperor, why do you still need to prove the will of Heaven? Isn't it enough to just walk the Emperor's path again?" Li Hao asked.

“While retracing the Emperor’s Path may allow one to return to the peak of their previous life, wouldn’t it be even better if one could further refine their Heavenly Heart?” the black-robed youth calmly countered.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, remaining expressionless, but revealing the question that had been accumulating in his mind for a long time:
"Could there be a gap between Immortal Emperors? Wasn't it said that Immortal Emperors were the ultimate realm?"

"Nothing in the world is the same. There are only two similar flowers, but no two identical flowers."

The black-robed youth said calmly, "If even a flower or a blade of grass is like this, how much more so an emperor? Otherwise, why do you think an emperor would perish? Your master, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor, is considered top-tier even among emperors. He wields two imperial paths, and the second imperial path is extremely terrifying, a power that violates taboos."

At this point, he shook his head and smiled, saying, "But even so, he could not change the outcome of that great battle back then. That ancient demon clan held the fragments of reincarnation, and even the Emperor had to avoid their sharp edge."

"Two imperial paths?"

Li Hao paused for a moment when he thought of his master, then remembered the ultimate Dao technique that the master had passed on to him.

The first Emperor's Path was undoubtedly the creation of the Dao Source Immortal Seal!

The second one should be this Ultimate Dao Method.

It can enhance one's foundation and break through the shackles of the final realm.

"So, the Great Emperor can open up multiple paths to becoming an emperor?"

Li Hao immediately realized that there were differences even among the Great Emperors, and that his master was far more powerful than he had imagined.

"As long as you have enough talent."

The young man in black robes glanced at Li Hao, seemingly uninterested in providing further explanations of these common-sense questions. He turned and continued walking forward, saying:
"Boy, although you are extremely talented, meeting me in this life is destined to be your tribulation. You cannot grasp this opportunity to prove your Dao. Retreat!"

Li Hao saw the aura emanating from the other party's back, which contained a hint of imperial might. Although the other party was only at the Immortal Lord realm, he was definitely a powerhouse on a different level than the God Venerable he had encountered before.

Is it possible that meeting me was also your calamity?

Li Hao whispered and asked softly.

"what?"

The black-robed youth frowned, turned around, and stared at Li Hao. A hint of imperial might and thunderous majesty gradually rose in his calm eyes.

Li Hao did not back down, but looked him straight in the eye and said, "Since you're here, let's have a showdown!"

Seeing the fighting spirit in Li Hao's eyes, the black-robed youth immediately understood Li Hao's intentions; this battle was inevitable.

A cold smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Since that's the case, then let me show you the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord realm!"

He raised his hand, and in an instant, a strong aura of chaotic laws surged out. The aura of cause and effect and destiny appeared around him. He was standing in a space-time, but it was as if he was standing in a rushing river of time. His figure could not be locked, and cause and effect and destiny could not be applied to him.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly; it was the Law of Chaos and Limitlessness!

The opponent also forged 24 chaotic laws, reaching the level of boundless chaos!
Yes, the other party is the reincarnation of an emperor, and how could an emperor not have mastered the power of destiny?!
Li Hao felt a tension all over his body and immediately realized that the black-robed youth in front of him was different from the so-called reincarnations of emperors he had encountered before, who were actually just a wisp of the emperor's remnant soul or a wisp of the spirit that had been reincarnated countless times. Instead, he was a reincarnation who truly inherited the emperor's divine soul!
To meet at the pinnacle of this endless heavenly realm, they are by no means defeated primordial spirits.

"Turning effect into cause, going against the flow is murder!"

The black-robed youth whispered, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying aura spread around him. A strong causal killing force enveloped him, instantly transforming into a surging causal power that enveloped Li Hao.

These forces pierce through layers of time and space, aiming to slay Li Hao from his past.

However, Li Hao also released the Chaos Limitless Law, enveloping himself and using invisible sword energy to sever the penetrating causal power.

Seeing that Li Hao had also mastered the Law of Chaos and Limitlessness, a look of surprise appeared in the black-robed youth's eyes. "Destiny is hidden. How could you, in just a few hundred years, possibly glimpse and comprehend it?"

Clearly, Li Hao wasn't going to waste time arguing with him. He simply clasped his hands together, and a causal lightning sword materialized in his palms.

The power of primordial chaos enveloped his body, and 24 chaotic laws emerged layer by layer, overlapping each other, before merging into his unique sword path.

Chaos without limit, only my sword can slay!

As Li Hao unleashed his sword light, the void suddenly split open, revealing a strange scene in the Heavenly Road, where all the laws of nature appeared and then broke apart one by one.

With a single sword strike, all laws crumble and cause and effect are extinguished.

As this ultimate sword strike was unleashed, the black-robed youth's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly unable to believe that this was the power that a Celestial Lord could unleash!
He swiftly raised his hand, and the domain artifact in his palm soared, rapidly unsealing and transforming into a domain power that enveloped him, only to be directly shattered by Li Hao's sword.

At the seventh level of the Chaos Dao, in addition to mastering the Chaos Limitless Law, one's understanding of the 24 Chaos Laws has long surpassed that of the Immortal Lord Realm, enabling one to construct the power of the Chaos Domain!

As the power of the chaotic domain on the sword's edge burst forth, the domain artifact was also shattered and struck the black-robed youth directly.
