Chapter 688: Emperor Kai's Road
"41st floor!"
“It’s reached its limit.”
In the Tower of All Heavens, a figure flashed and teleported out. It was Luo Ningshuang.
She had previously selected five top-quality materials, as well as many other mid-to-high-quality materials and treasures. Among them, she mostly chose treasures that could enhance her own strength. As for those top-level domain instruments and secret treasures, she did not choose any of them.
Those things can be used after leaving here, but this time when practicing in the abyss and choosing the True King for retreat, it all depends on one’s own hard power!
Domain weapons cannot be used in the Tower of the Heavens and can only rely on their own combat power.
Once you are promoted to a true king, all the top domain weapons and combat treasures of all races will be forcibly delivered to you even if you don't want them. Strength is everything.
"Even with the Nine Transformations Golden Liquid and the Divine Soul Dao Flame working together, I can only reach the 41st level, which is the limit."
Luo Ningshuang looked at her own battle record with a flickering look in her eyes.
In just a short moment, it was promoted from the 35th floor to the 41st floor, and the ancient demon being challenged was promoted from the third level to the fourth level of the Immortal King Realm. This can be said to be a qualitative change and a huge breakthrough!
But... she thought of Li Hao's results. That guy scored 43rd in the initial test. How did he do that?
"I used five top-notch materials, but I'm still not as good as him. What secrets does that guy have?"
Luo Ningshuang looked up and swept her sight towards the Great Emperor's Dojo, where many Immortal Kings of various races were practicing, supporting the boundary and isolating themselves from detection. She didn't know where Li Hao was.
"Even stronger, even stronger..."
Luo Ningshuang clenched her fists and awakened the power of the ancestor emperor. She also had a bit of the emperor's temperament in her bones and would never admit defeat.
Meanwhile, on the 51st floor.
Li Hao looked at the three ancient demons at the sixth level of the Immortal King Realm with his eyes narrowed. He could feel terrible pressure from the three ancient demons.
He felt that the mere pressure emanating from the other party made him hold his breath.
After all, he is currently only at the first level of the Immortal King Realm!
In this last major realm below the Emperor, cross-border challenges are extremely difficult, but now he has crossed the fifth realm!
"See if this is my limit..."
Li Hao exploded instantly, unfolding the three chapters of the Wuji Emperor Art. The true god's blood burned, and twenty-seven thousand drops of the true god's blood turned into a blazing flame of the soul, as well as a majestic power of control, which directly crossed several realms and enveloped this void.
Afterwards, the Wuxiang Cave reversed time, and the three realms emerged instantly.
The power of the three realm hearts erupted, and the realms unfolded one after another. The three top realms overlapped with each other, and their power cleverly merged to form a special realm.
When he raised his condition to the peak, three ancient demons also approached rapidly. They seemed like the most ruthless killers, without any contempt, and attacked with all their strength. The three realms converged, trying to shock Li Hao to death directly.
Li Hao suddenly felt that his realm was invaded by some force, just like he was hidden in the depths of a very deep swamp, but now, the mud and sand on the surface of the swamp seemed to be stirred, and this stirring also affected him who was hiding in the deepest part.
Li Hao didn't dare to wait any longer, so he turned defense into offense and instantly unleashed the thirteenth level of Dongxu Sword Art.
Only I, the infinite void!
All the sword techniques, the origin of time, and the origin of space were integrated into this sword, and it killed in an instant.
Bang!
The boundary condensed into a sword edge and swept out, like a giant crocodile leaping out from the depths of the swamp, baring its ferocious fangs, and instantly tore apart the three boundaries that invaded the surface. The sword energy swept across, instantly piercing through the three ancient demons deep in the boundary.
Bang bang bang!
Three streams of blood mist burst out in succession, and the three ancient demons were instantly cut in half, letting out shrill howls.
But the powerful soul control force was only a contest of souls. Even the ancient demon who had reached the perfection of the Immortal King realm was no match for Li Hao.
As the immortal body was destroyed, the three ancient demons also fell in an instant.
Li Hao felt like he was sweating all over.
Although the fight was extremely brief and almost an instant kill after one encounter, he knew that he had exhausted all his means.
If this sword cannot kill them, then I will be the one to die.
"continue!"
Li Hao took a short breath and then continued to challenge the next level.
In this extreme battle, Li Hao became more and more proficient in controlling the triple realm.
When he reached the 54th floor, facing the joint siege of 24 ancient demons, Li Hao was finally defeated and unable to kill them with one sword. He was soon crushed by the ancient demon realm.
After exiting the Tower of All Heavens, Li Hao returned to the Great Emperor's Dojo.
Shi Miao was still practicing, and Li Hao did not disturb her. Now that ancient demons were invading outside, the battle situation could change suddenly at any time, and plans could not keep up with the changes. Li Hao had to seize every opportunity to improve himself.
He unfolded the time-reversal realm to cover himself, then sat cross-legged and began to comprehend.
If one wants to perfect the imperial way, one must first upgrade the rest of the arts to the thirteenth stage. In this way, the seven states of mind can be upgraded to seven levels, thus condensing seven realm hearts!
If he can achieve both by then, his path to becoming an emperor will be basically condensed.
Moreover, the fusion of the seven top realm hearts is the realm of royal power, which is unique and is the true king in the realm of Immortal King.
"My main focus is on comprehending the arts. I'm running out of points right now, and I can continue to improve the Chaos Dao. Every level I improve brings me so many benefits."
Li Hao thought to himself.
At present, his physical body, control and sword skills are all at the thirteenth level.
The three arts of reverse-time painting, formless chess, and cave-empty music have all reached the 13th level.
The rest are all twelve sections.
Both boxing and body movements have 12 levels.
At the seventh level of the Chaos Dao, he currently has only 3 skill points left.
It can also elevate the Chaos Dao by one level.
But Li Hao has no plans to upgrade for the time being.
Fundamentally, Li Hao felt that artistic skills were his core, and he had to comprehend the other four to the thirteenth level as soon as possible.
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Li Hao could only relax his mind, but thinking about the tense battle situation outside, if it weren't for his strong heart of Taoism, it would be difficult for him to remain calm.
"Cooking, carving, fishing, poetry and calligraphy... four arts. Cooking is up to you. The five sacred trees I exchanged earlier can be used for carving!"
Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he prepared to start with carving.
He took out five sacred trees in the realm, unleashed the veins of the stars in the sky, and introduced boundless immortal power into the five sacred trees. The leaves of the entire sacred tree became crystal clear.
Li Hao took out the magic sword and cut off a section of the sacred wood. He saw a crystal luster flowing in the broken part, and the five original auras were flowing inside. The damaged place quickly gathered and sutured like an interwoven spider web, and gave birth to new branches.
While Li Hao used the veins of the stars in the sky to nourish the sacred tree, he also condensed his sword skills into a sharp edge and used the sacred wood he had cut in his hand as material for carving.
Time passes.
Li Hao was carving and meditating in the realm, while in various places of the Great Emperor's Taoist temple, some people were practicing and meditating, while others had sudden enlightenment and breakthroughs and went to challenge the Tower of the Heavens.
The abyss seemed quite quiet.
"With only a few thousand years left, I don't know how far these little guys can go."
At the top of the Tower of All Heavens, the Immortal Emperor and the Empress of Stars stood there. Just like when they appeared before, they stood there with almost no other movements.
Over the long years, thousands of years could pass by when they were meditating. Even if they stood here motionless for thousands of years, to them it would be just like a mortal standing somewhere and taking a short rest.
"The war situation in the Eastern Region is becoming increasingly dangerous. According to the latest intelligence, the five major royal families have joined forces. This means that the Immortal Emperors of these five families will descend. I wonder if the Eastern Region can hold on!"
"Ancient demons from other tribes are also watching this battle. Once the Eastern Region is breached, the remaining ancient demons will most likely join forces and make a comeback."
The two Immortal Emperors frowned slightly, both feeling a sense of urgency. As Immortal Emperors, they could certainly stay out of it, but being in a high position, they felt it more and did not want all the races in the Real World to be destroyed.
Otherwise, these powerful Immortal Emperors would become like wandering ghosts, unable to find a home, which would be tragic.
"There are already five quasi-True King spots, and they are basically confirmed."
The Star Empress swept her eyes over to look at the Imperial Clan, the Saint Clan, the Primordial Clan and other places. There were Immortal Kings with terrifying auras, and their combat power was already comparable to the weakest Quasi-Emperor!
If they are equipped with precious treasures, even if a quasi-emperor comes, it will be difficult to wipe them out in a short time. When a full-scale war breaks out, the battlefield can be safely handed over to them, and they only need to fight against the emperor of the ancient demon clan.
"The time is too short. If it were three thousand years, there would be some hope for those little guys."
The Immortal Emperor's gaze swept across several young figures.
"Among them are the reincarnations of quasi-emperors, and even great emperors. However, it remains to be seen whether the reincarnated Great Emperor is willing to lead this charge. If I'm not mistaken, his previous life was destroyed during the last ancient demon catastrophe..."
The Star Queen looked around and saw a young man in black among the many figures.
Although the other party was shrouded in her own domain, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything and spy on every move of the other party.
As if aware of being watched, the black-clothed young man in the realm suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and looked towards the Tower of the Heavens. Then his gaze moved up to the top of the tower. Across his own realm, he seemed to be looking into the eyes of the Star Queen from afar.
The Star Queen did not hide it either. Although she was a little surprised that the other party could sense her gaze, the other party was the reincarnation of the emperor after all. Only he himself knew how much he had retained from his previous life.
The young man in black nodded slightly, as if to say hello, then closed his eyes again and continued to practice.
Seeing this, the Star Queen stopped spying, fearing that the other party was the reincarnation of the emperor. If she continued to observe closely, it would be a bit offensive.
"Um?"
As her gaze moved, suddenly, the Star Queen raised her eyes slightly and saw a strange scene.
In the realm of the young man who got the special potential training quota, the other party was actually holding a piece of sacred tree and was immersed in carving the sacred tree.
"engraving?"
The Star Queen's eyes flashed. Although she was surprised, she quickly understood. After all, she was the Immortal Emperor. Unlike other mortals, she was not prejudiced. She could tell at a glance that the other party was using carving to gain enlightenment.
However, this circuitous way of enlightenment is somewhat peculiar and extremely inefficient, just like swordsmen usually gain enlightenment through sword practice rather than playing chess.
There is no chess master who has learned the killer moves of chess through practicing swordsmanship.
Instead of trying to use another subject to enlighten yourself, it is better to directly delve into your own path.
Although she was surprised, the Star Queen didn't say anything and didn't give any advice. After all, she had already figured out that the other party could become a special-grade cultivated seed. The other party was a disciple of the Daoyuan Immortal Emperor. That emperor didn't say anything, so it was not their turn to make comments.
"It's quite interesting. His performance in the initial test was really exaggerated, but I don't know how fast he will practice in the future. I saw him rush to the 54th floor after selecting the supplies."
The Immortal Emperor also noticed Li Hao's actions and said with a smile.
These special seeds are the objects of their special observation.
"He was able to pass the 54th level because he had condensed his third top-level realm heart."
The Star Empress said, "Furthermore, he actually managed to control the three top-level world hearts and maintain their balance. This is a bit incredible. He is obsessed with this, perhaps because he wants to open up this path to becoming an emperor!"
"The Imperial Path where multiple worlds coexist?"
The Immortal Emperor also understood Li Hao's thoughts. After all, they were both experienced people. The other party's behavior showed that he was extremely ambitious. He did not just want to become a perfect Immortal King, but wanted to become the Supreme Being.
"This imperial road has long been envisioned by some, but no one has been able to open it up."
"I tried using my reincarnated body, but it also failed."
The Immortal Emperor said.
He has a long life and like the Immortal Emperor Daoyuan, he has opened up two paths to becoming an emperor.
But unfortunately, he tried other paths to becoming an emperor and used his soul to reincarnate into a body to practice and comprehend, but all ended in failure.
Even though he is the Immortal Emperor and is knowledgeable, everyone is equal when it comes to comprehending the Emperor's Path. He has put all his efforts into the Emperor's Path he has opened up. If he tries to open up a second Emperor's Path with insufficient motivation, it will be difficult for him to succeed.
Moreover, the more you know about some things, the more they become shackles and constraints, not necessarily advantages.
"This is the Kaio Emperor Road. I wonder if this little fellow can succeed. There have been attempts to develop the Kaio Emperor Road to the point where four or even five Kai Hearts coexist, but they all failed in the end."
The Star Queen said.
Her reincarnation also tried this path to becoming an emperor. To be precise, in addition to this path to becoming an emperor, they also tried other paths to becoming an emperor, but all failed.
The road to becoming an emperor is extremely difficult to open up. Even if they themselves are emperors, they are only supreme on the road to becoming an emperor that they have established. For other roads to becoming an emperor, it is like starting over from scratch.
"My reincarnation has cultivated to the point where six world hearts coexist. I'm only one step away from that. But unfortunately, that last step is the most difficult one."
The Immortal Emperor said.
The Star Queen nodded slightly. Her reincarnated body was the same as before. She only had one last step left. For her, the coexistence of six realm hearts was not too fast. She would accomplish it very quickly. However, the coexistence of the seventh realm heart would increase the difficulty by hundreds or thousands of times, which was despairing.
Even she tried countless methods she could think of, but failed.
"Those three guys are also trying to condense their own paths to becoming emperors. They all have great ambitions."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor turned his gaze away. The young man was definitely not the only one. There were others who were also trying the same method. Moreover, their cultivation was even higher and they had all reached the perfection of the Immortal King realm. Moreover, two of them were the top Immortal Kings who they believed would almost certainly get the position of True King this time.
