Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1752: Chapter 448: Gathering at the Eighth Layer Heaven

Boom!

A fierce sword cry resounded, Di Lingshu’s silver hair fluttered, and her body was jolted backward.

In the void ahead of her, the afterglow of the time-space rift slowly contracted and healed, and the Chaos Dao Beast that fought with her was now split open, with thousands of sword beams slicing it apart.

Di Lingshu saw the Heavenly Dao Power revealed inside the Chaos Dao Beast, breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes were full of joy; this was her first harvest of Heavenly Dao Power!

She raised her hand and summoned this Heavenly Dao Power into her palm, then quickly absorbed it into her body, carefully feeling it.

Soon, she discovered that this supreme power, as her master had said, could not be controlled by her; it could only be absorbed, unable to be wielded. Only upon reaching the Immortal King Realm and condensing a realm did she qualify to harness it.

"Has Little Apprentice’s side finished too?"

Di Lingshu pulled back her thoughts and swept her Divine Sense. On this land, her Divine Sense range was severely suppressed, unable to gain a full view. In the outside world, her Divine Thought could easily cover the entire land.

But here, she could only probe one-third.

Quickly, she saw a giant beast confronting Li Hao from across the nearby lake.

Upon closer inspection, however, she was shocked; it wasn’t a confrontation, but rather the giant beast seemed to be frozen, while Li Hao sat cross-legged in front of it, waving his hand in the air as if casting a mirror image, another giant beast slowly materializing.

"Painting?"

Di Lingshu was stunned; she had long heard that Little Apprentice had a penchant for unorthodox paths, but didn’t expect such exceptional painting skills, enough to utterly replicate a Chaos Dao Beast!

"Go."

As Di Lingshu watched, Li Hao gently waved his hand.

Instantly, the painted Chaos Dao Beast showed a sinister expression, charging towards the giant beast.

The giant beast’s eyes were full of horror, unable to comprehend this power, but its fierceness was aroused, it also roared and charged at its phantom.

Soon, a great battle erupted on the lake surface, causing violent ripples in the water, trembling the surrounding mountain peaks and geo-pulse.

The attack methods of the two Chaos Dao Beasts were identical, making it difficult to distinguish the winner for a while. But soon, as the battle intensified, the Chaos Dao Beast painted by Li Hao began to show terrifying Time Power, sometimes speeding up, sometimes stopping time, quickly gaining the upper hand, pressing the other Chaos Dao Beast into the water, tearing its body apart in a few strokes.

"Not bad."

Li Hao saw this scene and smiled slightly; for a first painting, being able to comprehend a Chaos Dao Beast to such a degree was quite commendable.

After all, without taking action, he managed to probe its various techniques solely through the Artistic Path insight, which was truly challenging.

But this was mainly because of his Sixth Stage Chaos Dao, controlling Destiny Power, capable of glimpsing the destiny imprint radiating from the opponent.

This destiny imprint seemed to record the opponent’s techniques and biography, he could barely explore one-third.

"Is this the feeling of mastering Destiny Power? In the eyes of those Immortal Emperors, do common beings truly have no secrets?"

Li Hao pondered in his heart.

Immortal Emperors certainly mastered Destiny Power, having refined numerous powers to peak levels since they possessed boundless resources and infinite lifespan, unimaginably terrifying.

"This Destiny Power merges into my artistic realm’s eye, though lacking others’ bloodline power, my artistic realm’s eye should not be inferior to those with Double Pupils and Emperor’s Eyes!"

Li Hao spoke, his eyes crossing with Space-time laws, alongside a vertical sword scar forming a strange pupil, which he self-developed as the artistic realm’s eye.

"Your painted beast is amazing!"

At this moment, Di Lingshu’s figure darted over, marveling at the Chaos Dao Beast standing in the lake.

Though Artistic Path is a minor path, achieving such a realm had surpassed her imagination, she felt this painted beast might even pose a challenge.

Li Hao swept his Divine Sense and said, "Have you dealt with your Chaos Dao Beast?"

"Mm."

Di Lingshu nodded, saying, "Let’s go find several more."

"I took care of the other few already," Li Hao replied.

Di Lingshu paused, swept her Divine Sense, and noticed that the Chaos Dao Beasts originally seen in the forest, within the caves, had already vanished.

She was somewhat stunned, when? So quickly?

"Master said the Heavenly Domain has Nine-layer, let’s go check out the highest one, the Heavenly Dao Power within the Chaos Dao Beasts here is too weak," Li Hao suggested.

Di Lingshu twitched at the corner of her mouth and said, "You can’t just listen to the first half of what Master said; although the Heavenly Domain has Nine-layer, Master also said, even after melting 23 Chaos laws, don’t approach the Ninth-layer, it’s extremely dangerous! Melting one to three Chaos laws, you can stay at the First Level; four to six laws at the Second Level!"

"With my strength, the Fourth Level is the utmost."

"Melting 18 to 21 Chaos laws, the Seventh Level is most suitable; Little Apprentice, you’ve melted 23 Chaos laws, even at the Eighth Layer there might be danger."

She spoke, with full sincerity.

Li Hao knew that this Nine-layer Heavenly Domain also corresponded to different Chaos laws levels of the Immortal Monarch Realm.

Unless there are some other top-tier Immortal techniques and bloodline powers enhancements, it could slightly surpass the current Heavenly Domain layers.

"Then let’s first visit the Eighth Layer."

Li Hao didn’t mention he had already melted 24 Chaos laws; although he had a good relationship with Di Lingshu, there was no need to expose too much.

"Eighth Layer..."

Di Lingshu hesitated; truly going to the Eighth Layer, the Chaos Dao Beasts there would surely be beyond her capabilities, then she would have to rely entirely on Li Hao.
