Comprehending chaotic power elsewhere is nowhere near as fast as doing so among the chaotic stars—this is abandoning the root for the branch, chasing only fame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, seeing this human steal the spotlight is truly infuriating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we challenge him in the Dao Field to teach the humans a lesson?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard he’s the personal disciple of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor—killing him might be difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who said we need to kill him? Beat him to within an inch of his life, destroy his divine body, shatter his Dao heart—make the humans behave, stop trying to make such a spectacle and scare everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many chaotic clan prodigies radiated intense killing intent; after all, their clan itself consists of primordial chaotic beasts, and their descendants who left the clan to settle in the True Realm have become ferocious great demons and monsters, having devoured countless humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While many chaotic clans were investigating Li Hao’s identity, Li Hao arrived at the Dao Source Hall of Jidao Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuan Gui Emperor Soul flew out from Li Hao’s robe, its ancient turtle face wearing a look of extreme complexity, as if constipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had followed Li Hao all along, witnessing firsthand how he comprehended the 69 chaotic stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, 69 stars ascended—an unprecedented feat in the entire Primordial True Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it could guess the reason: from Li Hao’s immediate comprehension after merely glancing at the chaotic stone wall, it was clear he had long possessed profound understanding of chaotic power, and since he himself possessed the Dao Source Immortal Seal and a high realm in the Nine Orders Great Dao, he could rapidly comprehend and master the chaotic stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this youth had only just arrived in the Primordial True Realm—where had he previously comprehended chaotic power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To understand the Chaotic power, the best place is the Chaotic Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless an Immortal Emperor had simulated and created primordial chaos for Li Hao to cultivate in—but Immortal Emperors rarely indulge their personal disciples so deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that requires consuming the essence of heaven’s Dao, a loss even for an Immortal Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the True Realm, Immortal Emperors would rather conserve their own energy than waste it, and simply send Li Hao directly into the Primordial True Realm to cultivate among the chaotic stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if an Immortal Emperor truly wanted to slip someone in, wasn’t that just a single word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve made quite a stir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor, seeing Li Hao and Shi Miao return, swept his sleeve across the chessboard and smiled warmly down at the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao quickly bowed and clasped his fists; seeing no anger, he exhaled in relief and said, “I feared I’d caused too much commotion, been too showy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the capable deserve to be showy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor chuckled. “Disciples of Jidao Mountain need not be timid. If anyone objects, crush them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke casually and lightly, as if the sun, moon, and heavens themselves were no more than flowers and grass, easily extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao felt slightly embarrassed—only his master could say such things. As a cultivator of the final realm, the Immortal Emperor was nearly invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except against peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Li Hao couldn’t help but wonder: during the ancient demon war, when Immortal Emperors fell, were there still differences in strength among them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor’s gaze seemed to pierce the soul; sensing Li Hao’s thoughts, he smiled faintly: “You’re wondering if Immortal Emperors have strengths and weaknesses? Naturally they do—but even the weakest Immortal Emperor is nearly impossible to kill, unless…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly and did not elaborate, instead asking: “Could your rapid comprehension be due to prior experience with chaotic power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao knew he couldn’t say no—otherwise he couldn’t explain his point-adding ability. So he silently apologized while deceiving, even though he was deeply grateful to the Dao Source Immortal Emperor; some things simply shouldn’t invite unnecessary complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor’s eyes flickered slightly as he gazed deeply at Li Hao, his smile unchanged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I previously thought you’d catch up to your sixth sister within a thousand years—I underestimated you. Since you have your own destiny, I won’t pry. Just master it well, strive to break through and become a King as soon as possible, and find your own path to Immortality…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was solemn, his gaze both grave and commanding: “As for the rest, leave it to me. Until you reach the Pretender Emperor realm, no one will dare harm you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Hao felt a wave of shame and indescribable gratitude; he nodded deeply: “Thank you, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor’s stern expression softened into a smile. “Also, if you truly feel too showy and fear the burden of fame, you may choose to conceal yourself—then no one can check your rank on the Chaotic Dao Rankings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Conceal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely. Simply silently communicate with the Chaotic Dao Rankings in your mind. Then, even if you surpass others, they’ll only know they’ve been surpassed. Any attempt to probe your identity will yield nothing—your name remains hidden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said the Dao Source Immortal Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao couldn’t help but feel delighted—he didn’t want to draw too much attention just yet, especially since he planned to continue adding points to his Chaotic Dao and refining Chaotic Laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he refined them too quickly, even his master might be startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, comprehending 69 stars in one day is one thing; rapidly cultivating 23 Chaotic Laws and refining them is an entirely different matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that merely a single segment of Chaotic Dao insight had allowed him to comprehend 69 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Chaotic Dao at its second segment, he could still keep adding points—by the third and fourth segments, he might already be refining numerous Chaotic Laws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If necessary, it was better to remain modest for now, to avoid attracting great calamities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao’s delight, the Dao Source Immortal Emperor knew his disciple disliked showiness; he smiled and said nothing more. He had already sensed this disciple’s Dao heart was extraordinary—let him act as his heart desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and lightly tapped the hall—six vortices instantly materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a joyous occasion calls for notifying your senior brothers and sisters—especially Ling Shu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, Gu Mofan, Di Wushe, and others appeared in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Immortal Emperor briefly explained Li Hao’s achievement; all six were stunned, especially Di Lingshu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“69 stars—comprehended in one day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu activated the Chaotic Dao Rankings, displaying them in the hall; seeing Li Hao’s rank at 260,000, she felt her breath nearly stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just earlier, she had bet whether Li Hao could catch up to her—could he even comprehend one chaotic star within three years? Yet now, he’d accomplished it in just one year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother, this is insane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Lei Jingfeng couldn’t help but exclaim; as a prodigy himself, he now felt a chill crawl up his scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother’s only been here a year, and already this result…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Qingge’s eyes bulged; as a top prodigy of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, he was born with chaotic qi in his blood, yet his pace in comprehending chaotic stars was slower than Di Lingshu’s, let alone Li Hao’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuan Gui Emperor Soul cleared his throat twice and said: “Not quite a year. This boy became your disciple a year ago, spent the entire year doing nothing—today was his first time going to the chaotic stars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this clarification, the hall fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Mofan and Di Wushe also fell silent, staring in awe at their little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a feeling: a monstrous prodigy had joined their personal disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible—did little brother comprehend chaotic power elsewhere before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Mofan murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Wushe also narrowed his eyes; comprehending chaotic power elsewhere to such a degree still proved extraordinary—after all, who else had such fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive. It seems little brother’s record will never be surpassed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghuang’s beautiful eyes shimmered as she gazed at Li Hao; previously, the fastest among them had been Di Wushe—a towering peak. But this little brother? He was like thunder splitting the sky out of nowhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, rumors about you are spreading everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghuang’s eyes suddenly flared with fire as she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a manifestation in the Chaotic Immortal City and had merely inquired—everyone was talking about this little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this performance, even the chaotic clans won’t be able to sit still.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Mofan said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Wushe nodded slightly, his gaze cold and disdainful: “If anyone dares challenge him in the Dao Field, let little brother refuse—have your sixth sister challenge them all back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! If anyone wants to bully little brother, there’s still Sister Lingshu—she’s an Immortal Lord. We can’t interfere, but she can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jingfeng snapped back to himself and immediately added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao was curious: “Dao Field challenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao didn’t understand, the others quickly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Primordial True Realm, it wasn’t a unified whole—many races coexisted, primarily divided into True Realm races and primordial chaotic clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Realm races included many groups, with humans leading them—such as the Imperial Clan, Ancient God Clan, and Battle Heaven Clan; though not purely human, they possessed special bloodlines and were still considered part of humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Qingge’s Ancestral Dragon Clan, far back in origin, descended from the chaotic clans but was expelled early on, then flourished in the True Realm until becoming one of the top demonic races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving in the Primordial True Realm, they were collectively labeled “Outer Path Races” by the chaotic clans; privately, the chaotic clans called them “inferior races,” even more contemptuous and disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the True Realm races, the chaotic clans themselves were numerous, varying in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over countless eons, resources in the Primordial True Realm had been continuously divided, tensions accumulated, and mutual hostility between chaotic clans and True Realm races grew frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the rule of several Great Emperors, spontaneous, destructive duels were replaced by Dao Field challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the same realm, one may challenge others—or be challenged by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refuse three times in a row, and you must accept, selecting one from among those who previously refused to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To resolve hatred and prevent it from accumulating, growing ever greater—such as you killing my brother, and I challenging you to kill your parents and clan members—the hatred would accumulate across generations. The rule of the Dao Field challenge is to avoid casualties: it employs the laws of Heaven and Dao to create a phantom, which fully inherits all the original’s powers, including combat experience and consciousness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By pitting phantoms against each other, even if the phantom dies, the original suffers only minor injuries that can gradually heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when a phantom loses in such a duel, the loser has no recourse but to accept defeat wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, aside from hatred, the overwhelming majority of reasons for challenge are two words: Bufu !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you humans compare yourselves to our Chaos Ancient Clan? We are born Dao-bodies, creatures of Chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare your Chaos Ancient Clan be so tyrannical? Even if we humans are physically weak, we still rise beyond our limits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you’re Bufu , then fight. Let the outcome be decided by force—simple and direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this Chaos Dao Field an excellent place to hone one’s skills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes brightened as he listened to their explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a treasure trove for real combat cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao’s gleaming eyes, Gu Mofan and the others exchanged glances—they hadn’t realized this junior brother was actually a battle fanatic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could say that, but it’s not quite true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jingfeng shook his head. “If a phantom created on the Chaos Dao Field perishes, the damage to the original is limited—but the sensation of failure and all the pain it brings are transmitted unchanged to the original, corrupting the original’s Dao heart. Too many defeats will shatter the Dao heart. Worse still, those repeated failures leave deep scars in the original’s heart, forming a nightmare-like chain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This not only harms the Dao heart, but also creates immense obstacles when breaking through bottlenecks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao paused, seeing the serious expressions on everyone’s faces—he now understood this was far more complicated than he’d thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I use my Two-Faced Man Codex to create a Dark Side avatar, and send that avatar to challenge in the Dao Field… would it affect my original?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s thoughts turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Side avatar inherits 30% of his power—fully and comprehensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current realm and with his methods, he could easily manifest countless phantoms using immortal techniques and scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These phantoms could also possess up to fifty percent of his original’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these phantoms were bound to him through cultivation techniques, not through the panel’s power like the Dark Side avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao suspected that if he sent a phantom to challenge in the Chaos Dao Field and lost, his original would inevitably be affected—otherwise, these senior brothers and sisters were far too intelligent not to have thought of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Dark Side avatar… perhaps only testing it would tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao weighed the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Dark Side avatar’s power was weaker than his own, its techniques and attack methods were identical—allowing him to see his own combat flaws and weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Hao felt the Chaos Dao Scroll tremble slightly, transmitting a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Challenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao was startled—he’d just been talking about Dao Field challenges, and now he’d received one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was extremely brief: a humanoid silhouette clad in jagged armor, gazing down with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Yuan Long of the Chaos Ni Long Clan, Immortal Lord Realm Tenth Layer, have comprehended sixty-five Chaos Stars. Do you dare accept my challenge?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was utterly tyrannical, as if looking down upon Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Mofan, perceptive as ever, noticed Li Hao’s unusual expression and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s expression was odd. “Just mentioned Dao Field challenges, and someone’s already challenged me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Who’s this fool?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, their faces turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu also narrowed her eyes, a flash of killing intent rising in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, she’d made a wager with Li Hao to impress their Master, since she’d been slighted by him—she’d wanted to regain face. But Li Hao’s performance had utterly won her respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even setting that aside, anyone daring to challenge his junior brother was an affront to the prestige of Jidao Mountain—and an insult to their Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Ni Long Clan member named Yuan Long,” Li Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some random cat or dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu’s eyes turned icy. “Never heard of it. Ni Long Clan? Just a branch bloodline of the Chaos Ancient Dragon Clan—how dare they be so arrogant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jingfeng, Long Qingge, and the others’ gazes turned cold, but they said nothing—they were all Immortal Kings, beyond the scope to interfere in Dao Field challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the opponent went too far, they wouldn’t mind joining forces with Senior Brother and others to visit the Ni Long Clan’s ancestral territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Hao felt the Chaos Dao Scroll tremble again—this time, two messages arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao touched the intent, discovering two more challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was a woman-like figure, with a tail and bat-like ears atop her head—her words were nearly identical to Yuan Long’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third was a human form, addressing Li Hao directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Wu Ming of the Primordial Lands, Immortal Lord Realm Tenth Layer, have comprehended sixty-seven Chaos Stars. Do you dare engage in a Dao Field Blood Duel?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was icy, radiating a chilling killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao felt the depth of that killing intent and frowned slightly—the two Chaos Ancient Clan members before had not stirred such intense malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is a Dao Field Blood Duel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao looked up, curious, asking his senior brothers and sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Hao’s question, Gu Mofan, Di Lingshu, and the others’ faces changed, shock and fury flashing in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Duel? Someone challenged you to a Blood Duel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who dares be so bold? Don’t they know you’re our Master’s disciple?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scum! Which Chaos Ancient Clan is this? Do they want to die?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Mofan and the others’ faces were filled with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Miao, standing behind Li Hao, also froze, then his expression swiftly darkened, like a waterfall descending over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their expressions, Li Hao sensed something was wrong, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jingfeng told Li Hao: “A Chaos Blood Duel means no phantoms—life and death are wagered directly. This is only chosen when there is a blood feud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao froze.
