Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1758: Chapter 450: Elder Chaos (Part 2)

As long as it’s locked, Li Hao believes that the power of the Destiny Sword Qi can achieve a one-hit kill.

Bang!

Suddenly, a force descended from the sky, striking the Destiny Sword Qi, and the crimson Sword Qi instantly dissipated, vanishing like a bubble.

Li Hao was stunned, his pupils contracted as he glanced around in horror.

Within thousands of miles visible to his Divine Sense, there was no other figure in sight.

Yet a chill surged through Li Hao’s body, causing his hair to stand on end.

"Young friend, could you spare this little dog of mine? It has accompanied me for many years, and I cannot bear to see it die here."

As Li Hao surveyed his surroundings in disbelief, an elderly voice suddenly spoke, echoing in Li Hao’s ears.

Li Hao was taken aback, his heart shocked as he looked around. The voice seemed to bear no malice; there was a sense of communication, which made him slightly relax and respond in a tense voice:

"May I ask how I should address you, senior, and where might you be? If I have taken any offense, please forgive me."

"It’s been a long time since I last saw a living person. You may come."

That elderly voice spoke calmly, and as the words fell, a void passage suddenly appeared at the feet of the giant wolf Dao Seed in front of Li Hao, resembling a winding path leading to a bamboo forest. On both sides were swaying virtual portraits of bamboo trees, yet the faint scent of bamboo seemed incredibly real, drifting outward.

Li Hao was stupefied, watching the giant wolf Dao Seed shrink from a fearsome giant wolf into a half-man-tall big dog, running toward the depths of the bamboo forest’s phantom path without looking back.

"Is there truly a hidden master here?"

Li Hao was somewhat shocked, difficult to imagine, knowing that even Immortal Emperors cannot enter the Endless Heavenly Domain!

Could it be that beyond Immortal Emperors, there exists an even stronger presence?

Li Hao was bewildered as he gazed at the tranquil bamboo forest, suddenly gritting his teeth and rushing in as well.

He knew that if the opponent harbored malice, with such abilities, killing him would be as easy as flipping a hand. Moreover, if the opponent was indeed limited by the laws of the Endless Heavenly Domain and not at the Immortal King Realm, then even if stronger than him now, he could still improve his battle strength by increasing his Chaos Dao Seventh Stage. He did not believe that with Chaos Dao Seventh Stage, he couldn’t be invincible within the Immortal Monarch Realm!

He felt that if truly enhanced to Chaos Dao Seventh Stage, it might even suppress the Immortal King Realm!

Though this was merely his vague sense, he was confident, making decisive choices.

Soon, as Li Hao stepped onto that bamboo forest path, the outside mountain’s pursuit disappeared, and he reached a bamboo path amidst the forest, where his Divine Sense compressed from thousands of miles to hundreds of meters!

At the same time, the air became incredibly solid, making it difficult to even teleport instantly, even the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm was locked here!

Li Hao was shocked in his heart, realizing he had underestimated the dangers here due to the restrictive power.

He walked forward, seeing at the path’s end, a grass cottage.

In front of the grass cottage, two figures were sitting outside, facing each other at a chessboard, while the big dog that was formerly a giant wolf Dao Seed had already run to one of their feet, rubbing its head against the figure’s trouser leg.

Seeing this scene, Li Hao was utterly amazed, there were indeed people here!

In a place where Immortal Emperors could not arrive, someone else managed to come!

Moreover, there were two of them!

He stood still for a moment, hesitant, but realizing he had come so far, there was no turning back, so he gritted his teeth and walked over, although secretly prepared to increase his strength at any moment.

"So many years have passed, yet there’s a young one who could comprehend Destiny Power, and even amidst the absence of the Heavenly Dao, truly rare."

Before Li Hao approached, the old man whose trousers were being rubbed by the big dog raised his head. Sitting right facing Li Hao, he looked up and smiled at Li Hao, revealing a mouthful of white teeth and a kind smile.

The big dog Dao Seed also lifted its head to gaze at Li Hao with a somewhat wary expression, rubbing its head against the elder’s hand, giving a couple of whining sounds as if complaining about grievance.

The elder stroked its head, chuckling, "Alright, alright, it’s rare to see someone with courage to come to the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain. Weren’t you the one hoping to eat every attacker? Just blame your poor appetite."

Upon hearing, the big dog seemed more aggrieved, its regard towards Li Hao tinged with resentment.

Indeed, it wanted to guard the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain’s land entrance, devouring any foreigners who dared to offend, but unexpectedly encountered such a tough bone to chew, nearly losing itself.

Li Hao, with a look of surprise and doubt, approached but couldn’t sense any aura emanating from the two elders, only a faint Chaos Power entwining them, impossible to perceive its depth, like touching a breeze, it vanishes upon close contact.

"How should I address you, senior?"

Li Hao cupped his hands, cautiously inquiring.

The elder noticed Li Hao’s cautious demeanor, chuckling, "You may call me Elder Qi; he is Elder Eight."

As he spoke, he gestured towards the elderly figure seated at the chessboard, facing away from Li Hao.

Li Hao glanced over, seeing Elder Eight fixated on the chessboard, hunched like a tortoise, motionless.

Sevens and Eights? Li Hao pondered on these names, finding them odd, resembling titles rather than formal names, though the titles seemed rather casual.

The outside titles of Immortal Emperors were realms shaking and resounding through eternity.

"Senior, I’ve heard that Immortal Emperors are unable to step here, surely you have surpassed Immortal Emperors..."

Li Hao couldn’t help but wonder, beating in his heart was the biggest question upon seeing the elder, thumping strongly. In the True Realm, Immortal Emperors represent the Final Realm, the information passed through countless ages and secrets, with no existence transcending Immortal Emperors, yet here, in the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain’s land depths, he saw two such enigmatic elders.
