Chapter 1863 Chapter 497: Crisis in the Eastern Domain, Multiple States of Mind (Part 2)
Along with the breakthrough improvement of the Body Path, the immense Tao Realm flooded into his mind.
Li Hao stood in the void, entering a state of enlightenment.
Only after a long while did the numerous Dao Thoughts gather, and the fourth Realm Heart was refined within his realm.
With the birth of this fourth Realm Heart, the balance of the three Realm Hearts in his domain was immediately broken, attracting each other, showing signs of accelerated fusion.
Li Hao’s expression was solemn, unleashing the power of the True God Blood, according to his previous plan, using the fourth Realm Heart as a line to drag the three Realm Hearts, flying a kite within his domain.
As long as this kite could continue to cycle, it could maintain stability.
After all, he could not achieve true eternal stability now, only seeking a temporary balance.
Perhaps it would take several hundred years, perhaps a thousand, before it needed to be “reinforced” again.
Even so, it was already considered a great success and rare accomplishment.
While Li Hao was comprehending, in the Abyss, various clans also successively challenged the Heaven Tower.
When those who broke through the hundredth level advanced again, they often attracted the attention of other major clans, after all, once past the hundredth level, they became competitors!
Meanwhile, outside the Abyss.
True Realm, Eastern Domain, within Ancestral Dragon City.
A vast gathering of Ancient Demons surrounded the space outside Ancestral Dragon City, covering millions of miles of the sky, like a dark, deadly wall.
Ancestral Dragon City, the first line of defense of the Hundred Cities Defense Line, the city was extraordinarily majestic and grand, with eighty-one top-grade teleportation arrays alone.
Each teleportation array was priceless, invaluable, many major clans at most having one or two, signifying extremely deep foundations.
Each Royal-grade teleportation array could transfer a massive number of people, able to teleport a million True Immortal Realm individuals at once!
If transporting Immortal King Realm experts, it could send a hundred at a time!
Ancestral Dragon City has stood without falling for hundreds of years, largely credited to these eighty-one teleportation arrays, continuously channeling forces from all clans of the Eastern Domain, as well as reinforcements from far and wide, into Ancestral Dragon City.
In this meat grinder-like battlefield, every moment countless True Immortals fell, yet more forces continually teleported in to replenish their ranks.
The bodies outside piled up like mountains, fighting atop a sea of corpses and blood, countless battle remains not retrieved in time, ultimately ground into dust and blood pulp in the ceaseless war, dying without leaving complete remains.
And this tragic agony further incited the fiery resistance of all clans in the Eastern Domain.
“Two Immortal Emperors battled for a hundred years, shattering the light of time merely to eke out a victory, these Five Clans’ Ancient Demons had ten thousand years of accumulation, creating so many, my Eastern Domain clans, how many can still enter the fray?”
In the majestic Council Hall of Ancestral Dragon City, numerous top Immortal King Realm, Quasi-Emperor Realm individuals, were seated.
Above sat three towering figures, the center being the Immortal Emperor of Jianlong City defense line, also the Emperor of the Ancestor Dragon Clan.
Beside, a figure in billowing white robes, stained with plum blossom-like black blood marks, with snow-white hair, exuding a faint corpse rot aura, was Su Jiuzhe of the Su Family in the Northern Domain.
His gaze was cold, devoid of emotion, his hand casually resting on the Spring Slash Emperor Sword, seated on the steps like a rootless wanderer.
“According to reports from the covert agents among the Yan God Clan, they are preparing an all-out assault, on the outer domain border, several hidden traces were detected, containing the aura of the Ancient Demon Clan Emperor. Other domain Ancient Demon Clan Great Emperors have likely descended upon the Eastern Domain, watching this war.”
“These hidden traces are likely intended as intimidation. The Ancient Demon Clan… after years of fragmentation, seem ready to reunite.”
Two Quasi-Emperor Realm individuals spoke in hushed tones, reporting key intelligence.
“It is said that this opportunity arose from the potential reformation of the Reincarnation Gate, hence they plan to rebuild it together, should a Reincarnation Fragment be seized, negotiations could begin.”
Another Quasi-Emperor spoke, also an elder from a major Eastern Domain clan.
“Negotiate, is that to capitulate? At worst, it’s a bloody battle!” Another Quasi-Emperor’s eyes burned with Divine Flame, bursting with fervor, resembling a roaring lion.
“Does the Dragon Emperor know? This battle must be held!”
“They are already en-route, to prevent other Ancient Demon Great Emperors from ambushing the Ancestor Dragon Nest, they will arrive at the last moment.”
“The plan to steal the Reincarnation Fragment failed, only a head-on clash remains.”
All the patriarchs of various clans wore heavy expressions.
Plans of the great clans, spanning tens of thousands of years, perhaps even longer, now all poised to become ash in this battle.
This battle concerned the survival of the Eastern Domain.
“The Ten Kings Plan initiated previously, has not borne results yet?”
“It’s only been a short three hundred years, but should blood war arise, urgent selection will definitely take place,” another Quasi-Emperor said.
“The calamity from ten thousand years ago, is descending again… This time, we in the Eastern Domain shall be the first blade to pierce the darkness!”
Withstand for three hundred years, accumulated blood feuds leave no path of retreat.
Pleading with the Ancient Demons only delays death, it’s better to fight with one’s back to the river.
Su Jiuzhe remained silent, gripping the Spring Slash Emperor Sword, like a statue, three hundred years of combat had once more cracked his physical body, he had a premonition, he might never return to the Northern Domain.
So be it, dying in battle here or there makes no difference, he believed those two old friends would guard the Su Family well.
“Alas, there remain considerable regrets…”
“The Su Family’s bloodline is thin, unable to produce another Great Emperor…”
“That lad cooks good meat… Grow swiftly, may you reach the Emperor Realm at the end of this calamity, possessing the power to protect yourself…”
“Master… Teacher…”
Su Jiuzhe’s eyes seemed to gaze into the void, countless moments fluttering in his mind like blooms on a wave, some memories long obliterated.
…
In the Abyss, within the Heaven Tower.
Inside the 60th floor.
“Condense!”
Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming pressure emanated, in the sky stood the figure of a youth, surrounded by a formidable domain, akin to waves of the sea, enveloping him in four layers, like the thin silken fabric of a cicada’s wings, floating gently with the breeze.
“Four Realms!”
A decade of enlightenment, at last accomplished, powerful force filled the domain.
Li Hao had a sense that his mind united with the four realms could instantly coalesce into a terrifying power, sweeping through all.
“My cultivation… has also broken through to the Fourth Layer.”
Though immersed in cultivation, Li Hao could always perceive the passage of time through subtle changes in his physical body.
After all, he had reached the Time Origin Eighth Layer now, even sleeping through countless epochs, once awakened he could perceive the year and month.
The immortal power within the Heaven Tower was also incredibly dense, his cultivation broke through to the Fourth Layer, and his immortal power increased four to five times, far surpassing before.
Numerous immortal techniques could now be performed at a more foundational level.
“Not enough, need to be stronger… Five Realm Hearts… where to insert this fifth Realm Heart?”
“Fist Skill? With Sword Dao, Fist Skill can wait.”
“Skill Points remaining are few, enhancing Chaos Dao requires many Skill Points.”
“Uncertain, could this State of Mind be embedded again…”
Li Hao felt a stir in his heart, pulling up the panel, his gaze scanning the four Tao Realms already elevated to the Thirteenth Stage.
Physical Body Dao, Control Dao, Sword Dao, Body Path.
In his heart, he silently recited, engraving the Creation State of Mind into the Physical Body Dao!
Accompanying his intention, suddenly, Li Hao noted a prompt on the panel.
“Embedding successful, Creation Carving State of Mind, has been embedded into the Physical Body Dao!”
Simultaneously with the embedding, the vast Tao Realm surged into his heart, and concurrently, Li Hao discovered without any preparation, within his domain, another Realm Heart unexpectedly emerged!
The fifth Realm Heart!
This Realm Heart, upon its appearance, disrupted the previously stable state of the four Realm Hearts.
Li Hao’s expression underwent a sudden change, he wished to catch his breath, pondering how to merge this fifth Realm Heart.
“To think it can truly be embedded multiple times, but this fifth Realm Heart… I have no clue now!”
Li Hao’s heart was somewhat flustered, hurriedly attempting to control the five Realm Hearts, drawing them apart.
But breaking the initial configuration with five Realm Hearts led to chaos.
Having no result from his attempts, Li Hao could only self-destruct, exiting the Heaven Tower.
Upon being teleported out of the Heaven Tower, the five Realm Hearts within him rebelled once more.
Li Hao had no choice but to re-enter the Heaven Tower and make another attempt.
