He rescued Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi from an ambush and killed several of their attackers, leaving the three remaining seeds pinned down.

• The Divine Venerable unleashed his powers and challenged Li Hao, boasting of his hundred thousand years of cultivation and Quasi-Emperor combat experience.

Li Hao fought the Divine Venerable, a reincarnated quasi-emperor whose terminal realms and annihilation spear nearly overwhelmed him. After reversing time to heal his injuries, Li Hao activated the second layer of the Extreme Dao Method and unleashed Limitless-Destiny, leaving the Divine Venerable facing a deadly strike.

• Xue Fei withdrew with the Umbrella-Holding Girl as Li Hao and the Divine Venerable began fighting, and Li Hao's Destiny Sword Qi blasted apart the Divine Venerable's head, though he quickly regenerated.

• After several days of rest, Li Hao resumed hunting Chaos Dao Seeds and killed one with Destiny Sword Qi.

Li Hao quietly gained Chess Dao experience while watching two elders play chess, as explorers left the Ninth Heavenly Domain after finding almost no chaos dao seeds. The Ascension Path appeared in the First Heavenly Domain, drawing contenders from across the domains, and Su Wanyi went to find her younger sisters while Luo Ningshuang headed for the path.

• Li Hao climbed through the Heavenly Path’s Dao-pattern trials and found Chi Yuan, Gu Xie, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and Xue Fei fighting ahead.

• The Black-robed Youth attacked Li Hao with karmic power, but Li Hao countered with the Chaos Limitless Law and unleashed his Sole Self Sword Kill.
• Li Hao’s sword pierced the Black-robed Youth’s domain artifact and struck him.

Li Hao defeated the Black-robed Youth and reached the summit of the Heavenly Path, where the Heavenly Dao offered him the Heavenly Heart and its power in exchange for becoming its tool.

• Chi Yuan and the others encountered the Black-robed Youth, who injured a Chaos Ancient Clan member with his Whip of Fate and warned them not to pursue Li Hao.

• The Heavenly Dao showed Li Hao visions of the Primordial Era and offered him the Heavenly Heart, which would grant him emperor-level power and the duty to deliver all living beings.
• Li Hao said that all living beings should deliver heaven and refused to become the Heavenly Dao's tool, declaring that he would follow his own heart.
• The Heavenly Dao unleashed its power and forced Li Hao against the summit, suppressing his body and True God Blood.

Li Hao rejected the heavenly heart rather than surrender his will, but the Heavenly Dao unexpectedly granted him king's path authority. After the Heavenly Path vanished with the black-robed youth, Li Hao reunited with his companions and gravely wounded Chi Yuan for mocking his failure.

• Li Hao refused to prove the heavenly heart, endured the Heavenly Dao's pressure, and received king's path authority before leaving the summit.
• The black-robed youth and the other climbers reached the summit, and the youth began proving the heavenly heart while Chi Yuan and the others waited below.
• Li Hao met the Su Clan sisters, Di Linchen, Shen Wuji, and the Ghost Clan Sisters, then carried them up the Heavenly Path as his avatar went to retrieve Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and the others.
• The Heavenly Path shook, expelled its climbers, and vanished into the clouds with the seventy-two Quasi-Emperor Realm giants and the black-robed youth; Su Wanyi confirmed that the youth had proved the heavenly heart.
• Chi Yuan mocked Li Hao, who pierced Chi Yuan's Domain Artifact and gravely wounded him with Chaos Limitless Sword Qi, forcing him to flee.
• Li Hao told his companions that the expedition was over and that they could break through to king-sealing after returning.

After the Endless Heavenly Domain closed, Li Hao reunited with his friends and returned to Extreme Dao Mountain with Shi Miao and Di Lingshu. He told the Dao Source Immortal Emperor about the Ten Elders he met in the Ninth Heavenly Domain and learned that they belonged to an older cultivation age.

• Li Hao told Di Lingshu he had rejected the Heavenly Heart because it did not align with his Dao Heart, then led Di Linchen and others to hunt more Chaos Dao Seeds.
• The Endless Heavenly Domain closed and sent everyone outside Boundary Crossing Mountain; Li Hao found Gu Yan and Yue Xi safe but could not find the Black-robed Youth.
• Li Hao reunited with his friends and resolved not to return to the Southern Region until he became an emperor, while Su Muqing was left speechless when Shi Miao appeared beside him.
• Gu Mofan, Shi Miao, and Di Lingshu accompanied Li Hao back to Extreme Dao Mountain, where Di Lingshu recounted his exploits and his meeting with Elder Qi and Elder Ba.
• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor identified Elder Qi and Elder Ba as two of the Ten Elders, ancient experts whose cultivation was limited by the previous age’s system.

Li Hao prepared to claim kingship on Extreme Dao Mountain after choosing to abandon the Heavenly Heart rather than compromise his Dao Heart. He broke through into the Immortal King Realm with a spacetime World Domain, then began a second breakthrough by merging his Chess Dao state of mind into the Imperial Dao.

• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor told Li Hao that refusing the Heavenly Heart was acceptable if accepting it would conflict with his Dao Heart, then approved his plan to break through and claim kingship.
• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor instructed Di Lingshu to stay and cultivate, while his other disciples left determined not to be overtaken by Li Hao.

• Li Hao merged his Thirteenth Dan Chess Dao State of Mind into the Imperial Dao, triggering a second burst of divine radiance that astonished the disciples watching from the summit.

After becoming an Immortal King, Li Hao condensed a Time Reversal World Heart and a Formless World Heart, then devised a cycle that let both coexist and expand into two World Domains. He regarded this unstable breakthrough as the prototype of an Emperor Path, and the chapter ended when the Dao Source Immortal Emperor appeared above the Small Courtyard.

• Li Hao formed a Formless World Heart alongside his Time Reversal World Heart, but the two began drawing together and threatening to merge.
• Li Hao tried to keep the World Hearts apart by making them revolve around each other, but they slowed and resumed their approach when he stopped supporting them.
• Li Hao redirected his World Domain's power back and forth between the two World Hearts, stabilizing a cycle that allowed each to receive the full power and form a separate World Domain.
• Li Hao recognized the method as a possible Emperor Path, though he knew it remained a fragile prototype that might not work with more World Hearts.
• Li Hao drew both World Domains into his body, and Shi Miao congratulated him before the Dao Source Immortal Emperor appeared above the Small Courtyard.

After Li Hao became an Immortal King, the Dao Source Immortal Emperor recognized that his two coexisting world hearts might form a new emperor path. Li Hao shaped two world domains from his memories, then learned he would travel to the Eastern Region to assist his fifth senior brother.

• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor and Li Hao's senior disciples saw that Li Hao's two world hearts coexisted, and the emperor recognized the arrangement as a flawed prototype of an emperor path.
• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor warned Li Hao that perfecting the path might require overturning his current method, and Li Hao resolved to proceed carefully.
• Li Hao shaped one world domain from memories of the Great Yu Dynasty and another from the Heavenly Realms, nurturing life within both and recognizing his responsibility for their inhabitants.
• After learning that half a month had passed, Li Hao went with Shi Miao to meet the Dao Source Immortal Emperor and discuss his next steps.
• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor sent Li Hao to the Eastern Region's Ancestor Dragon Court to assist his fifth senior brother and gain experience as an Immortal King.
• The Dao Source Immortal Emperor told Li Hao that Immortal Kings had to challenge the Seventh Layer of the Original Demon Cave before leaving the mountain.
