Then the crimson eye on the hilt turned, drawing closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao felt it in his heart and extended his palm; the hilt automatically settled into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother has earned the recognition of ‘Finality’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Qingge, witnessing this, was startled—yet the process had been surprisingly brief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he and his sixth sister had tried to subdue this divine sword, both had been rejected, failing utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor, seeing this, softened his gaze and said: “Hao Tian, this Finality is a fragmented Emperor Sword! Subduing it and earning its recognition is an arduous feat—Emperor Swords demand an Emperor’s heart to stand beside them in battle; if the Emperor’s heart is misaligned, even the sword’s power cannot be unlocked. You’ve earned its recognition—now I can rest easy knowing you’ll venture down the mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao froze, stunned. Though he knew the sword was extraordinary, he hadn’t expected it to be a fragmented Emperor artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, this… this is too precious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao couldn’t help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Southern Region, he had escaped only because his master had gifted the Southern Region’s Supreme a fragmented Emperor artifact, plus his own prestige, to secure his departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, another fragmented Emperor artifact—he owed too much already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor shook his head: “Since it recognizes you, don’t refuse it. But it’s fragmented now, its power sealed. Only Emperor power can fully activate it. As an Immortal King, you can only wield its partial strength through your domain force—but even so, as a domain artifact, it’s top-tier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded, fully aware of the fragmented Emperor Sword’s terrifying nature. He saw the crimson eye turn—its gaze intensely focused—and suddenly felt that this Emperor Sword had been alone for an impossibly long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finality… a fitting name. But I don’t like endings—I prefer beginnings. Let it accompany me as I begin this path to kingship!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the blade—and instantly, the blade trembled faintly, as if responding to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a sword shadow suddenly materialized beside Li Hao, entirely crimson, radiating terrifying malevolence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, that malevolence receded; the blade’s edge shifted—this was Taowu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I can no longer accompany you into battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu transmitted his sorrowful voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao wanted to comfort him, but Taowu continued: “Still, having walked part of this path with you has brought me joy. Your journey is long—through the Immortal Lord realm, I’ve been with you. The rest, let it take over. If you ever need me, call out—I’ll always sharpen my blade for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his sincere words, Li Hao was moved. He couldn’t forge artifacts, so he couldn’t enhance Taowu—and even if he could, he couldn’t raise it to Emperor weapon level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Taowu said, life’s path is long, partings and reunions unpredictable—but perhaps precisely because of this, memories become precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When my carving Dao improves, I’ll refine your quality. Perhaps when I forge my own Emperor Dao, I’ll be able to do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao murmured: “For now, endure this temporary neglect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he couldn’t forge, his carving Dao allowed him to carve weapons of the highest quality—including Immortal armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the mortal-companion sword “Gongming” or “Taowu,” Li Hao intended to refine them again once his carving Dao improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu replied happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stored it within his Heaven-Earth space. Though it couldn’t fight beside him, that didn’t mean abandoning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother treats his weapons with true emotion.” Long Qingge murmured, her gaze toward Li Hao now warmer, more genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said: “The Eastern Region is rife with demons and monsters—be cautious on your journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said nothing more, gave Li Hao a jade tablet, then extracted three drops of his divine blood and sealed them within Jidao Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade tablet allowed Li Hao to contact Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor at any time; the three drops of divine blood ensured that unless utterly annihilated by an unimaginable force, he could always resurrect from them, avoiding true death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recall that since Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor gifted him the Heaven’s Dao Blood upon his entry, Li Hao had already stepped half into the Three Imperishable Final Realm—eternally indestructible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as complete as a Divine Sovereign’s, killing him was exceedingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Immortal King techniques are myriad; possessing this final realm doesn’t guarantee absolute safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then descend the mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao and Shi Miao bowed together, bidding him farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Qingge quickly assured him she’d send someone to meet and care for her little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning Li Hao was descending the mountain, the incarnations of Di Lingshu and others appeared to see him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come visit the Imperial Clan when you can—your name has already spread. Many in our clan are speaking of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Wushe invited Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s achievements in the Original True Realm had already spread through all clans—every race in the True Realm had heard and spoken of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao smiled in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the farewells of all, Li Hao, Shi Miao, and Long Qingge’s incarnation descended the mountain together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao had planned to bid farewell to others—Di Linchen, Su Wanqing, and other familiar faces—but thought of their busy cultivation and decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gatherings follow fate; partings follow the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the wind rises—it is time to part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the Original True Realm, a heavily guarded forbidden zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by peaks, its depths held a sunken basin, and at the basin’s lowest point, a cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavern was pitch-black, bottomless—as if sunlight and moonlight could never reach it. “Eighth Layer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a figure soared from the cavern, radiant with golden light, clad in divine armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could still attempt the Ninth Layer—but no need. Wasting time here is meaningless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light from outside the cavern illuminated the figure’s face—it was the Divine Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his true body. Since the end of the Infinite Heavenly Realm, he had been forced out early by Li Hao, meaning he’d lost the greatest opportunity of the Immortal Lord realm—he could only break through to Immortal King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his foundation was profound. Though lacking Heaven’s Dao power, his domain remained terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recall—he had once been a Pretender Emperor. In the Immortal King realm, he had fused multiple superior domains. Though he never achieved the legendary Sovereign Domain, nor became one of the Seven Sovereign Kings of his time, after reaching Pretender Emperor, he gained deeper insights. Now reborn, he had already condensed three superior heart-domains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blended together, his current heart-domain was immensely strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time, he would surely forge the Sovereign Heart-Domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though lacking Heaven’s Dao power and thus incomplete, it was enough. When he reached Pretender Emperor, he could seize Heaven’s Dao power again—his only true goal: to carve his own Emperor Path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I combine the Sovereign Domain with Heaven’s Dao power, and awaken my past Pretender Emperor power… in this life, I shall be invincible. That damned bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Li Hao, the Divine Sovereign’s eyes blazed with fierce hatred and killing intent—he wanted to devour Li Hao alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perfect life had been ruined, flawed, incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must reclaim those old things soon. That boy should have broken through to Immortal King by now. With his foundation, clearing the Seventh Layer shouldn’t be hard. I wonder—will Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor keep him like a golden cagebird, or exile him? Either way, he’ll likely grant him a survival artifact…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered. To deal with a disciple beloved by an Immortal Emperor was no simple matter—it wasn’t enough to just defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. Don’t let me cross paths with you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Sovereign’s eyes glinted. Though furious, his goal was carving the Emperor Path—he wouldn’t waste all his energy on revenge. If he became Emperor, revenge would come effortlessly—even Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor couldn’t protect the boy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Chaos Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of figures stood inside the Chaos Hall, all bowing respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two have awakened Ancestral Emperor power. Though you’ve just entered Immortal King, you’ve already easily cleared the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Demon Cave—you’re among the elite of this generation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos Immortal Emperor’s gaze was calm as he looked at the two disciples at the front—both women: Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know the several Chaos Ancient Clans in the Original Land have also broken through to Immortal King—but none have awakened their true ancestral Emperor blood. Back in Immortal Lord, your fates were evenly matched. Now, you’ve left them behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos Immortal Emperor smiled: “But don’t grow complacent. They may yet overtake you—perhaps even forge Sovereign Domains to catch up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang’s robes fluttered, her body radiating an ethereal aura. She spoke calmly: “If they can forge Sovereign Domains, so can we. Then we’ll leave them far behind—never give them a chance to stand beside us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since awakening Ancestral Emperor power, her gaze and demeanor had changed noticeably—now more composed, radiating supreme arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. We will become the ultimate existence in the Immortal King realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi spoke calmly too, her eyes holding profound, quiet confidence—not loud or obvious, but utterly unquestionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her sister’s words, Su Muqing and others’ eyes sparkled with joy and envy—deep admiration for their elder sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stand atop the True Realm’s ten thousand races as an Immortal King—what glory! The Su Clan would be famed across all races!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, believing these two disciples could achieve it. Yet he knew—they hadn’t reached the peak in Immortal Lord. Forging a Sovereign Domain, like those few Chaos Ancient Clans, would be no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sovereign Domains aren’t easy to cultivate. As you descend the mountain, return to your clans. Luo Ningshuang, you’re from the Eastern Region—there’s one of my disciples there who will meet you. If you face grave danger, my Emperor tablet will save your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang nodded, then paused, asking: “Master, what of the disciple under Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor? Will he also descend the mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Su Wanyi slightly lifted her head, looking toward her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean that boy named Hao Tian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos Immortal Emperor smiled faintly: “According to Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor, he will descend too. He has no intention of keeping him confined on Jidao Mountain—there, his light would merely fade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… how deep did he reach in the Primordial Demon Cave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Immortal Emperor immediately saw through her thoughts and said calmly, “He has not awakened the Ancestral Emperor Power, nor is he a reincarnated powerhouse; his descent from the mountain was specially permitted, and he did not challenge the Original Demon Cave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t challenge it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang froze, frowning involuntarily—she had planned to judge the current gap in their strength by observing the level of challenges he had undertaken, but he had not challenged anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister, he has no Ancestral Emperor Power; he could never catch up to you. Having just broken through to the King Realm, merely passing the seventh level is already extremely difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhexuan said this to Luo Ningshuang, his face lit with a warm, springlike smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ningshuang nodded slightly; she understood this well enough without being reminded—after all, her master had said that Ancestral Emperor Power rivals the Domain of Kingship, and to forge such a Domain requires not only exceptional talent but also years of accumulated foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most Dingjian  prodigies throughout history only had a faint chance of cultivating a Domain of Kingship when they reached the seventh or eighth layer of the Immortal King Realm, transforming into True Kings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, has Haotian descended the mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqing asked without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Su Muqing also opened her mouth to speak, but was a fraction too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded slightly. “He has already descended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing’s eyes dimmed instantly, filled with melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Su Muqing clenched her fingers—earlier, when he had left the Su family without a word, she had been unable to find his trail; now that she knew he had descended, she still could not follow, for her contemplation and cultivation within the Chaos Star had not yet concluded, and she could not break through to the King Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haotian always walks ahead of us…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Linchen heard this and sighed softly, his lips curved not just in regret but also in a smile—happy for Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost sisters nodded slightly, deeply agreeing—the boy’s progress was too swift; they already felt left far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps we can only catch up when he hits a bottleneck in the Pretender Emperor Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Lingyue whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhexuan heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Mingyue’s eyes flickered—her senior brother Jianxin had become a disciple under another Immortal Emperor, cultivating the Sword Dao; she herself had become a disciple of the Chaos Sect but failed to become a direct disciple, merely residing here, yet the cultivation resources she received were no less than those of a direct disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled the hundred-year challenge she had made with him in the Southern Region—long since passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them had mentioned the duel; she knew the outcome had already been decided, and his silence likely meant he had never given her a single thought.\u003C\u002Fp>",2394,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8f1e16ad1fc8e409a4d313463038c542a8c92ea88e9145e4b699a3752a8be072","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-895","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-893",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
