Did he choose to fuse a Chaos Principle centered on movement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four speculated among themselves, but such speed stirred fear and wariness in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Hao possessed this kind of burst speed in battle, he could come and go at will—extremely troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These human beings really know how to run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Tong’s face darkened; he had intended to test the human boy’s abilities in the Chaos River, but the boy had no intention of fighting them—perhaps their commotion had been too loud, alerting the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. We’ll meet again in the Infinite Heaven Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Chaos Ancient whispered, his body massive, black wings strapped to his back, his face covered in purple scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group said no more, each accelerating, swimming upstream against the current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s pursuit of the Chaos Ancients naturally drew attention from others on the Chaos River; seeing him effortlessly outpace the four, they were secretly astonished—these four from the Primitive Lands were no ordinary beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one you mentioned, Hao Tian, is indeed remarkable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang, accompanied by Lin Zhexuan, was also walking atop the waves; she had originally planned to catch up and overtake the boy, but seeing him instantly leave the four Chaos Ancients from the Primitive Lands far behind, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes as she said to Lin Zhexuan beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Zhexuan felt a pang of unease—he knew well how formidable the boy was, but he hadn’t expected him to be this outstanding, even drawing praise from Ninth Senior Sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, we need to hurry too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang also pushed harder, accelerating once more to chase after the Chaos Ancients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, they could no longer see the shore platform, having ventured deep into the distant reaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the waves of the Chaos River crashed and the Chaos energy eroded inward, all who walked atop the waves deployed their own methods to resist the Chaos power within, pressing forward relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems we’re the first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accelerating, Li Hao overtook three figures in succession, leaving them out of sight, then continued racing forward for over ten minutes without seeing a single soul—only then did he realize they were ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu smiled bitterly, numbed by Li Hao’s astonishing feats; her master had once said little brother would surpass her within a thousand years… he really had high expectations for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Di Clan, she had seen countless prodigies, but never one as extreme as Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we reach the Infinite Heaven Realm, will we part ways?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao looked at her in confusion: “Part ways? Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m afraid I’ll slow you down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu said, “With your movement speed, if you don’t carry me, you’ll only go faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point of speed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao shook his head without hesitation, “Slower is where the scenery lies. If not for those guys chasing me, I wouldn’t have accelerated… When we reach the Infinite Heaven Realm, we’ll travel together for mutual support. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to answer to my master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu froze, seeing the boy’s relaxed expression—he truly believed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Infinite Heaven Realm, opportunities were precious, yet he was willing to be burdened by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother, why don’t you join our Di Clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Di Lingshu whispered, gazing intently at Li Hao; she had previously asked her master, and learned Li Hao was not from a great clan—he had ordinary bloodline, far inferior to the Hundred Bloodlines of the True Realm, yet this man with no bloodline power had climbed step by step to the ranks of the top prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” Li Hao looked at her in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu’s cheeks flushed slightly, “You have no great clan behind you. If you come to our Di Clan, you’ll surely be heavily relied upon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao shook his head, “No great clan? Then I’ll found my own. I appreciate your kindness, Senior Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao’s refusal, Di Lingshu had expected it—someone like Li Hao would never willingly submit to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, as Li Hao raced forward, a vast black void suddenly appeared behind the surging Chaos energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao and Di Lingshu both felt a chill—their destination had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the Infinite Heaven Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu had never been here, but her master had described it; now she gazed far ahead and saw countless points of light in the black void—broken continents floating in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Hao suddenly recalled the Many Heavens, where thirty-three vast lands floated—similar to this sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Infinite Heaven Realm before him was far more than thirty-three lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Hao studied the scene, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened, Chaos Principles gathering in his eyes; the black void before him seemed to shed a layer of disguise, revealing four massive, grotesque shadows crouching at the edge of the Chaos River—some shaped like giant serpents, covered in thorned spines; others like a fusion of giant tortoise and roaring lion, radiating dominance and ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lay hidden beside the Chaos River, their forms utterly concealed, emitting no trace of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu noticed Li Hao’s expression change, her heart tightening with dread; she strained to look, but saw nothing—so she activated her bloodline, unleashing Di Clan power, her eyes turning silver as Imperial Eyes, using the Ancestral Gaze to peer forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she too saw the four hidden ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… these are Chaos Dao Beasts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu was stunned—she hadn’t expected four Chaos Dao Beasts to be lying in ambush here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If necessary, use your Domain Artifact to protect yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said, setting Di Lingshu down; with her own Chaos Principle power, she could still walk on the Chaos River, albeit slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had reached the river’s edge; Li Hao stepped forward first, feigning ignorance, charging straight toward the ambush site, while his inner power had already silently gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, as Li Hao neared, the four beasts erupted with ferocious attacks—each strike seemed ready to pierce the heavens; four terrifying waves of Chaos Principle power slammed down upon Li Hao like mountains and calamitous floods, engulfing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao sensed the overwhelming force, his eyes flashing with surprise—but his hands moved faster; twenty-four fused Chaos Principles crystallized into a single blade of pure white light, piercing the starry void and slashing outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?￠〇\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade flashed, severing all four waves of Chaos Principle power; its residual force remained unspent, striking one of the Chaos Dao Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Dao Beast’s eyes widened in shock; it desperately dodged, but still took the Chaos Ultimate Blade Intent across its forehead—its body split open, letting out a cry of agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it did not perish instantly; instead, it shrieked and fled into the distance. “This… this human—what is he?! We are Ninefold Beast Kings, yet we’re no match for him in a single blow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Dao Beast was panicked, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao was equally stunned—he knew the power of that strike: over fifty times stronger than fusion of twenty-three Chaos Principles. This final Chaos Principle was a step toward transcendence; though only one more principle fused, it was the Principle of Fate, completing the Chaos Principles fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such a devastating strike had failed to instantly kill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fate Blade Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao raised his hand, launching several flying swords along destined trajectories to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing force of Fate, the power of karmic causality—the Chaos Dao Beast had fled far away, yet its body suddenly exploded; a blade qi erupted from its fate core, slaying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Chaos Dao Beast perished, a vast and supreme aura appeared in the void; Li Hao recognized this energy—he had felt it before, in the wine Su Jiuzhe had offered him: Heavenly Dao Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes gleamed; he erupted with terrifying might—his cultivation base, fully perfected at Immortal Lord Realm, combined with his Celestial Immortal Body, unleashed power that seemed capable of shaking sun and moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three Chaos Dao Beasts roared, attempting to unite and suppress Li Hao—but were instantly severed by the Chaos Ultimate Blade Intent, their Dao Seeds pierced, dying outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the four Chaos Dao Beasts died, Li Hao waved his hand, collecting their bodies into his Celestial Space, then gathering the Heavenly Dao Force left lingering in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy was silver-white, swirling like radiant, ethereal light, radiating a lofty, transcendent aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled Immortal Emperor energy, yet seemed even more awe-inspiring than what an Immortal Emperor emitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Heavenly Dao Force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Chaos River, Di Lingshu swam out and flew to Li Hao’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao slay the four beasts in an instant, she was stunned; the blade intent he had unleashed carried terrifying Chaos energy—she had felt her heart race from afar, as if even her gaze might be sliced apart by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded, taking the four portions of Heavenly Dao Force, and said to Di Lingshu: “I’ll take these four for now. Later, we’ll search together—you find a Chaos Dao Beast, I’ll help you slay it. Whoever finds it, keeps it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu hurriedly waved her hands, “Little brother, you’re too polite—take these. When I find one later, you help me slay it, and I’ll split it with you, fifty-fifty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she hadn’t fought, and the battle ended swiftly, she could tell the Chaos Dao Beasts were terrifying; if she encountered one alone, she wouldn’t dare hunt it—she might even lose her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed only those who had fused at least twenty Chaos Principles could face one alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do it my way,” Li Hao shook his head, rejecting her proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than taking advantage of his senior sister, he’d rather find more to hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Hao spoke, he absorbed the four portions of Heavenly Dao Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy surged into his body, yet refused to be controlled, settling in the corners of his Celestial Meridians, just like the Heavenly Dao Force he had absorbed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao knew—he still lacked the ability to command Heavenly Dao Force at Immortal Lord Realm; he could only absorb and store it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had previously raised his Chaos Dao to Stage Six, he had tried to advance further—the system had clearly stated Heavenly Dao Force was required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These four portions of Heavenly Dao Force combined still don’t equal the few cups of wine Su Jiuzhe gave me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao carefully sensed the energy within—he knew these few portions were far from enough to push him to Stage Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Hao noticed that the Chaotic Dao Beasts in the celestial space were slowly disintegrating and dissolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wall built of sand and gravel losing its support, they gradually crumbled into pure Chaotic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems these Chaotic Dao Beasts are sustained by Heavenly Dao force,\" Li Hao thought to himself. He had previously wondered what flavor their corpses might taste like if cooked, but now it was clear he wouldn’t get the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly and said to Di Lingshu, \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu nodded, still shaken: \"These four Chaotic Dao Beasts were too treacherous—lying in wait here. If anyone else had come without noticing, they’d have been injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded slightly. These four Chaotic Dao Beasts were no ordinary foes; he sensed that even merging twenty-three Chaotic Laws might not be enough to kill them—and he might not even be their match if they fought together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without pausing, Li Hao took Di Lingshu and headed toward the Infinite Heavenly Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master said the Infinite Heavenly Realm is roughly divided into nine layers. We’re probably in the outermost first layer now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao and Di Lingshu arrived together at a nearby landmass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this land, towering trees pierced the sky, rare flowers and herbs covered the ground, and in a vast lake, a massive figure lay resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Li Hao’s gaze, the Chaotic Dao Beast coiled within the lake opened its eyes and stared at him—its gaze immediately filled with bloodlust and killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many Divine Herbs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Di Lingshu exclaimed in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen much in her life; as a member of the Imperial Clan, she had grown up surrounded by celestial treasures. Now she realized this sacred land held dozens of rare Divine Herbs she could name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These… these Divine Herbs are all ancient!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stunned. If all these herbs were gathered and cultivated, they could produce at least two or three prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are several Chaotic Dao Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the one in the lake, he also spotted Chaotic Dao Beasts lurking in the nearby forest and within a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these Chaotic Dao Beasts were clearly far weaker than the four that had guarded the river earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give it a try too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu also sensed that these Chaotic Dao Beasts were noticeably weaker than the previous four, and she immediately grew eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao didn’t stop her—he drew his sword and went to seek out the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Lingshu charged toward the nearest Chaotic Dao Beast, and soon fierce battle erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two fought, far away beside the Chaotic River, shadowy figures gradually approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Infinite Heavenly Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures sprinted over—it was Chi Tong and the other Chaotic Ancient Clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had chased Li Hao with all their strength but never caught sight of him. Now they’d followed him to the end of the Chaotic River and still hadn’t seen the boy—he must have entered the Infinite Heavenly Realm ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? There are signs of battle here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone suddenly narrowed his eyes—his irises were double-pupiled, each pupil containing four pupils, eerily strange—as he stared at the empty space beyond the Chaotic River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could that guy have already found the Chaotic Dao Beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chi Tong and the others’ eyes grew even more urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic Dao Beasts—each one was Heavenly Dao force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, they surged forward. By now, they wouldn’t bother cooperating—they each sought their own fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they all moved to act, the Chaotic Ancient Clan member with the double-pupiled eyes remained where he stood, frowning deeply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These battle traces… something feels off. Did I misread them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2450,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","564e00b2ce3a69708e1135f0ccc220315c749620dd8a5841b05e4b71108fe208","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-874","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-872",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
