Chapter 1838  Chapter 486: Challenging the Limits

As the words fell, the darkness before him suddenly began to fade away to dimness, light gradually emerged, and a verdant mountain range interwoven in peaks appeared.

The peaks jutted out like jagged teeth, enveloped in clouds and mist, with the ground’s mountains winding between each peak.

Li Hao could feel the rich essence of the Five Paths immortal power in the void—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—allowing those skilled in different Immortal Techniques and Immortal Bodies to fully utilize their strengths here, achieving great equilibrium.

“This environment of the First Layer is indeed extremely fair.”

Li Hao thought to himself, perhaps this consideration was for those in the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm, as if the environment was too extreme, it would be somewhat unfriendly to those in this realm.

As he scrutinized his surroundings, a rift suddenly appeared in the void ahead, rapidly emerging from it were three figures of Ancient Demons shrouded in black aura, each in different forms: there was the Emperor Jiang Royal Family Li Hao had seen, the Yama Clan he had encountered earlier, and a third Ancient Demon cloaked in a stench-filled, black, gaseous aura that corrupted the laws of the surrounding heavens and earth.

“Three Ancient Demon King Clans…”

Li Hao slightly squinted his eyes; since becoming an Immortal King, although he had slain Ancient Demons on the battlefield before, it was within a military formation. Strictly speaking, he had yet to truly engage one-on-one with an Immortal King Realm opponent.

As he surveyed them, the three Ancient Demon King Clans’ eyes shot out fierce cold light, instantly charging at Li Hao.

Three strands of Realm Power unfolded, forming three angles to encircle Li Hao.

“Formless.”

Li Hao willed, and the Formless Realm suddenly unfolded.

In an instant, the void around him seemed to distort momentarily but swiftly restored. It made Li Hao, standing within the realm, exude a profound feeling hard to fathom.

Formless Realm, the board is formless, paths nonexistent!

The surrounding Realms of the three Ancient Demon King Clans encroached upon Li Hao, directly traversing into his realm, nearing right in front of him.

The black Yan Power transformed into a Flame Blade striking at Li Hao. Simultaneously, the Emperor Jiang Royal Family wielded a Fist Sword infused with faint Emperor Power; though weak, it could induce brief bewilderment, stunning the mind.

And the remaining Poison Corrosion Clan Ancient Demon released dark poison mist that corrupted surrounding laws and immortal power, forming an Immortal Forbidden Area. Even the immortal power cast from the All Heavens Star Vein would be obscured, rendering Ultimate Realm Power ineffective!

Such a combined assault instantly created a dire situation, where for an Immortal King of the same realm it becomes nearly impossible to resist.

Li Hao couldn’t help but lament: no wonder the challenge of the Heaven Tower can only be surpassed by the exceptional talents, as others might not even reach the layer corresponding to their own realm.

With the attack of three strands of Realm Power, Li Hao stood unmoved; the Realm Power swept past, hitting his body abruptly passing through. Their powers collided among themselves, causing the void to rupture. In the twisted, shattered void, Li Hao’s form remained standing at the original spot.

“Formless Paths, misaligned routes—no matter the force exerted—cannot touch across another line.”

Li Hao whispered, sensing the wondrous utility of the Formless Realm, making oneself formless, rendering the realm formless. When self becomes formless, all attacks fail to reach the path leading to him.

Thus naturally, he remains unscathed.

“Formless is also myriad forms!”

Li Hao raised hand, formless transmuted. Instantly, his realm surged, filled with his own form, appearing beside the three Ancient Demon King Clans. Earlier, it was three against one, now thirty ‘Li Hao’s simultaneously assaulted one Ancient Demon!

Tenfold return!

With a bang, the three Ancient Demons’ forms couldn’t withstand, the realm shattered in an instant, bodies turned into blood mist; then in the swing of many ‘Li Hao’s swordsmanship, even the blood mist dispersed—intangible, formless.

End.

The world returned to tranquillity; in front of Li Hao, a voice emerged:

“Congratulations, you’ve passed the First Layer of Heaven Tower. Do you wish to continue challenging the Second Layer?”

“Yes.”

In the sky, a rift opened, enveloping Li Hao in strong suction. Li Hao did not resist, entering along with the suction.

In the blink of an eye, the darkness within the rift faded. Instead, it was another world, where the ground was filled with magma, and the void permeated with intense Fire Dao immortal power.

Though Li Hao grasped Nine Orders Power, the effect of his surroundings remained significant but had little relevance.

He patiently awaited the appearance of his target.

This time, Ancient Demons crawled out from beneath the magma—six in total—all Immortal King Realm First Level and members of the Ancient Demon King Clans!

Li Hao’s eyebrows slightly raised; for just the Second Layer, the intensity was surprisingly high, making him suspect that most Immortal King Realm First Levels might be unable to pass the initial five layers of trials.

Accompanied by the attacks of the six Ancient Demons, Li Hao didn’t alter his offensive technique, remaining with the Formless Realm.

Formless transmuted to myriad forms, instantly annihilating the six Ancient Demons, successfully passing the Second Layer.

Followed by proceeding to the Third Layer, Fourth Layer…

In the Third Layer, the number of Ancient Demons reached twelve, once again doubling in increase!

The Fourth Layer boasted 24 Ancient Demons.

Reaching the Fifth Layer, 48 Ancient Demons enclosed Li Hao densely.

The number doubled, yet with Li Hao’s myriad transformations, it turned to reversed odds where many humans overpowered few demons, resolving them successfully.

Upon arriving at the Sixth Layer, the quantity of Ancient Demons remained 48, but Li Hao distinctly felt strengthened auras from these Ancient Demons. Though all at First Level Immortal King Realm, their auras attained the ultimate state of Perfection.

Each Ancient Demon’s power increased by at least a third.

Such change finally made Li Hao feel the warm-up sensation…
