Chapter 657: Divine Authority
Li Hao felt like he had turned into an ant, being squeezed at will.
It was as if he was shrouded in the shadow of death. The overwhelming pressure of will almost crushed his soul, making Li Hao feel as if he had difficulty breathing.
He had a feeling that if he did not compromise, his body and soul would be destroyed, and all his years of hard work would be in vain!
However, if we compromise, wouldn’t all the years of hard work be wasted?
If I am not myself, and I am bound by fate and shackled to my true self, then how can I be myself?
"I won't prove this Tian Xin!"
Li Hao raised his head and looked towards the sky, feeling the thunderous roar, as if it was the wrath from heaven. He raised his head and screamed.
The heart of heaven is my heart, and my heart is the heart of heaven. These are two different things. Reversing the order means something else.
Feeling Li Hao's strong will, the surging thunder became more and more harsh, as if it wanted to surround Li Hao and shatter him, but as the thunder continued to vibrate, it finally slowly faded away, and the terrifying power around it also slowly dissipated.
Li Hao gasped for breath, feeling exhausted all over, as if he had been to the gates of hell.
He knew that if he were to be even slightly touched by that power, he would likely be reduced to ashes. This was the power of Heaven, supreme and majestic, and absolutely beyond his ability to resist.
"Achieving the Dao of Heaven's Heart, so that's how it is. Heaven-granted path to the Emperor, becoming the Son of Heaven..."
Li Hao now understood the reason why this Zhengdao Tianxin could become the emperor. Although he was a great emperor, he was also the "Son of Heaven"!
Since you are the Son of Heaven, you must obey the orders of Heaven!
If his Dao heart was only at the level of eternal Dao heart, he might really compromise and agree, to be given a mandate by heaven, to live forever and prosper, and to be able to obtain eternal life, which is also the pursuit of eternal Dao heart.
But his heart of Taoism has already surpassed eternity, and he already has half the heart of an emperor. How can he tolerate being conferred a title by others!
This time when he tried to prove the Dao of Heaven's Heart, Li Hao knew that he had failed. He had already seen clearly that this was the greatest opportunity. It was neither what he had expected nor what he had sought. In this case, it could not be considered a loss.
He climbed up from the top of the mountain on the Heavenly Road and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw the rolling clouds. Then, a ray of light suddenly shot down from the sky and sank into his forehead. The majestic will descended on his body. The sound of chains rattling seemed to be heard between heaven and earth, and countless laws of the great ways were boiling and trembling, and all the ways resounded at the same time.
At the same time, in Li Hao's sea of consciousness, that power condensed into a mysterious symbol, containing a supreme aura.
As if a blessing came to his mind, Li Hao felt something in his heart and immediately realized what this mysterious symbol was. It was the authority of the king!
With this authority, he can command all the ways, comprehend the origins of many great ways, and also make a leap forward.
"Is this for me?"
Li Hao raised his head, looked at the sky, and murmured.
The might of heaven gradually dissipated, and the peak of the Heavenly Road returned to tranquility. Only the symbolic power of authority in Li Hao's body was still clearly visible.
As long as the mind is touched, one can control this extraordinary power. This is the right to directly command all things, granted by the way of heaven!
Li Hao was a little confused. He had clearly gone against the will of heaven and was lucky to have kept his life. He did not expect that heaven would grant him such power.
"Go against the will of heaven, and obtain the will of heaven..."
Li Hao murmured to himself, unable to figure out the intention of the Heavenly Dao. He stood there silently. After a moment, his thoughts were fruitless. He looked down at the Heavenly Road under his feet and saw some figures approaching one after another. It was the black-robed young man who had passed by before, and behind him were the huge bodies of the ancient Chaos Clan.
Others also climbed up one after another.
Li Hao came back to his senses and shook his head. He would naturally not fight for this Tianlu anymore.
He had gotten all the opportunities he deserved in the Endless Sky Realm this time, and there was still some time left. He might as well go and watch the Seven Elders play a game of chess. But it would be a bit annoying to bother them again right after they left, and there was not much time left. It would be better to go and see Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and other friends.
Thinking of this, Li Hao stepped out, jumped down from the top of the Sky Road, and ran down the mountain.
At the same time, the black-robed young man and others who were climbing the Sky Road suddenly heard a sound of breaking air above their heads. Looking up, they saw Li Hao's figure approaching from afar.
"you……"
The young man in black robe was stunned. He didn't expect Li Hao to leave the top of Tianlu so quickly.
Before he could call out to Li Hao, Li Hao had already passed them and headed straight for the foot of the mountain.
"Did he fail?"
"Looking at his expression, he seems too calm."
"You heard the sound earlier, right?"
Except for the young man in black robe, Chi Yuan and others looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
They all heard what Li Hao shouted on the top of the mountain earlier. The other party said that he would not prove the Heavenly Heart anymore. From the tone of his voice, it was clear that he had failed to prove the Dao!
Therefore, they hurried to catch up, wanting to see if there was any chance, but they saw that Li Hao had already left the top of the mountain.
The young man in black robe frowned. He had been defeated by Li Hao before and had to hand over this opportunity to the young man. He thought that the other party was chosen by the Heavenly Dao himself, but he also heard the voice before. How could the other party fail to prove the Heavenly Heart?
Without saying anything, he suddenly increased his speed and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain.
The others also reacted and suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
Soon, the young man in black robe climbed to the top of the mountain first. He immediately exuded a powerful aura, looked at everyone with disdain, and forbade them to approach.
"If you go any further, I'll kill you!"
The black-robed young man said coldly.
Hearing his words, Chi Yuan and others were shocked and angry, including Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi, who all frowned and felt strongly dissatisfied with him. The path to achieving enlightenment was right before their eyes, but the other party had monopolized it.
However, the scene of the other party easily killing the Bone Evil who unlocked the domain device was too shocking. Although they had many dissatisfactions in their hearts, they still held back.
Xue Fei stood on one side, also with a gloomy expression. Although she thought highly of herself, she did not think she was a match for the young man in black robe. She had already vaguely felt that the other party might be the reincarnation of a great emperor. The previous god was the reincarnation of a quasi-emperor, but he definitely did not possess such terrifying power.
This great emperor wanted to snatch this opportunity from them, and she could only endure it, except for resentment and contempt in her heart.
Soon, the mighty power of Heaven enveloped the young man in black robe, and mist suddenly rose around his body, covering him.
The aura of supreme divine power diffused down from the peak, making everyone change color.
"Sure enough, Haotian previously failed to attain the Dao of Heavenly Heart!"
"It seems he really failed."
Su Wanyi was also stunned, with shock and complexity in her eyes. She didn't expect that such an amazing genius would fail to prove his Dao of Heaven.
"Achieving the Heavenly Heart isn't just about talent; it also involves other aspects. From what he said earlier, it seems like he's endured immense pain and gave up on achieving the Heavenly Heart."
Luo Ningshuang whispered, and her regard for the young man's status in her heart unconsciously lowered a lot.
Faced with such an opportunity to achieve enlightenment, she felt that she could endure even the greatest suffering. After all, this was Emperor Cheng!
The ultimate realm of spiritual practice, a true step to heaven!
Faced with such a great opportunity, what can't be given up, what pain can't be endured?
Su Wanyi also knew this, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Hao. It was a pity that such a genius could not overcome this last hurdle.
"If he fails too, we still have a chance."
Luo Ningshuang said, with a gleam in her eyes, wondering whether she should use some method to disrupt the other party's process of proving the Dao of Heavenly Heart.
Besides her, other people were also thinking about this.
On the other side, Li Hao was already flying down. The closer he got to the bottom, the more he saw many figures trying to climb up.
Among them, he also saw the Su sisters he had met before.
"Haotian?"
Seeing Li Hao, the Su sisters and others were also stunned and a little surprised.
"You guys want to go up?"
Li Hao glanced around and saw that in addition to them, Di Linchen was also there, as well as Shen Wuji of the Ancient God Clan, the Ghost Clan sisters and others. Many of the geniuses who participated in the battle in the Southern Region were also here.
"You were..."
Su Muqing couldn't help but speak, with an anxious look in her eyes, but she stopped herself halfway through her words, worried that it would hurt Li Hao's self-esteem.
Su Wanqing directly took out the two domain weapons in her hand. Her dress was torn and stained with some divine blood, but her expression was very determined: "These are my two domain weapons. I encountered some danger earlier and used one. You can take them both. Is it too late?"
Li Hao was silent for a moment. Seeing Di Linchen also took out a domain weapon, including the ghost sisters, they also took out a domain weapon each. He was somewhat moved and smiled and said:
"I've already been up there, and I came down by myself. Come on, I'll take you up there to have a look."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and unleashed the Law of Chaos, enveloping them.
"Have you been up there?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone was stunned, and then looked at Li Hao in surprise.
Shen Wuji couldn't help but ask, "Have you achieved the Heavenly Heart? What is it like up there?"
Li Hao avoided his previous words, thought for a moment, and said, "The scenery up there is just like that. You can see farther, but it's not as clear."
The scenery when you climb to the top of the mountain is just a panoramic view of the world, but if you are in the world, why do you need to climb to the top?
Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone was speechless, but Li Hao didn't say much. He used his incarnation and continued to dive down to pick up Gu Yan, Yue Xi and the others. He then took everyone with him, turned around and continued to go up.
Although this climb is meaningless for him, others can understand more laws by going to higher places, which is also a test of their Tao heart.
Although reaching the summit is the greatest opportunity, the process of going up and down is also a rare practice.
Seeing everyone being led up to the Heavenly Road by Li Hao and soaring into the sky, the others around them all showed envy and climbed even harder.
Along the way, Li Hao kept passing those geniuses who had forged more than ten or twenty laws of chaos. When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, thunder suddenly sounded and the Sky Road shook. Then, low roars came from below the Sky Road. The 72 quasi-emperor giants who were like sculptures all roared softly.
A vast force vibrated out from the Heavenly Road, shaking off the people above like ants and causing them to fall down.
"What happened?"
"Someone has achieved enlightenment!"
Countless people were shocked, stunned and heartbroken.
Li Hao was also bounced away by the Heavenly Road. He used his power to cover the Su sisters and others, and suspended in the air, he saw this majestic Heavenly Road, which was surrounded by an extraordinary boundary power, making it impossible to get close. Then, clouds rolled up in the sky, and a huge vortex emerged, like a fog cave, swallowing the Heavenly Road.
The 72 quasi-emperor giants on the ground held up the Sky Road, soared into the fog cave, and slowly disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the Tianlu disappear, many people who had been climbing desperately before cried out in grief, without having time to fully appreciate it.
Li Hao glanced around and saw figures flying from the sky. They were Luo Ningshuang and others he had met before, as well as those from the ancient Chaos clan.
"Um?"
Li Hao saw that there was no sign of the young man in black robes. He was moved and asked, "Has he achieved the Dao of Heavenly Heart?"
After hearing Li Hao's words, everyone noticed him. In addition to indignation, there was a hint of complexity on his face. It seemed that his expression had eased a lot and he felt better.
"Well, he was taken away by the Heavenly Road."
Su Wanyi answered Li Hao. Seeing Li Hao bringing the Su sisters with him, her face softened.
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't expect that the other party, as the reincarnation of the emperor, was willing to accept Tianxin's mission.
"You were the first one to climb, and you failed. What a shame."
The anger in Chi Yuan's eyes suddenly turned into teasing when he turned to Li Hao, and he found some pleasure.
"Um?"
Li Hao was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to dare to provoke him.
Bang!
He raised his hand, and a chaotic sword energy suddenly shot out from his finger.
The sharp sword light instantly tore through the void. Chi Yuan was stunned and his face suddenly changed. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would use a killing move just because of his ridicule.
He was shocked and angry: "Are you crazy?!"
The road to heaven was gone, and he had no reason to fight Li Hao unless he could defeat Li Hao.
The sword energy was terrifying, and he felt waves of chills. He could only take out the domain device to unlock it. With a bang, the power of the realm enveloped him, protecting his body inside. Then the domain device shook, as if it had been hit hard, and flew out.
Afterwards, the sword energy suddenly split into hundreds of overlapping sword shadows, which actually penetrated the power of the realm.
Chi Yuan's pupils contracted in shock. He finally understood why the black-robed youth was defeated. This young man also possessed the means to suppress the power of the realm!
"Crazy, stop it!"
He roared in panic and moved his domain weapon to try to block the sword energy, but it was too late. The sword energy instantly penetrated his chest and tore his huge body apart. Even dozens of drops of his true god blood were damaged, and it would take a long time to repair.
With just one strike, it penetrated the domain device and severely damaged it, destroying its body.
Seeing this scene, everyone else's expressions changed. They didn't expect Li Hao to be so cruel.
Chi Yuan did not stop. His body turned into a wisp of blood smoke. He used the power of his bloodline and once again unsealed another domain weapon. He flew away, fearing that Li Hao would hunt him down.
Su Wanqing, Di Linchen, Shen Wuji and others were all stunned when they saw this scene. In their eyes, Chi Yuan was one of the top geniuses on this trip, but they did not expect that in front of Li Hao, he would be seriously injured with one move and had to escape.
"Let's go. This trip is over. When we return, we can all break through the realm and become kings."
Seeing that the other party used two domain weapons to save his life in succession, Li Hao was too lazy to chase him and said to the people around him.
