The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 684 Sprint, sprint!
"It's him?"

When Luo Ningshuang saw the boy, she discovered that his figure had actually flown out from the Tower of All Heavens, which was over 40 stories high.

That's almost halfway up the hundred-story Tower of the Heavens!

She stared blankly, her gaze shifting with difficulty, looking at the place behind the boy, and saw that on the 43rd floor of the Tower of All Heavens, the boy's projection was reflected on the tower gate.

43 floors!
Luo Ningshuang felt a jolt in her chest, a sensation that made the hairs on her body stand on end, and her blood both boil and freeze.

She doubted her eyes; it couldn't be.

Before the initial test, she had checked Li Hao's cultivation level. He was at the same level as her, the first level of the Immortal King Realm, and hadn't broken through to the second level. Moreover, even if he had broken through to the second level, it was impossible…

While Luo Ningshuang's mind was buzzing, Su Wanyi, who was next to her, also noticed her abnormality. She then followed her gaze and her eyes immediately showed surprise. Had that guy finally come out?

Soon, she scanned the Tower of All Heavens and saw Li Hao's projection on the 43rd floor, which was extremely conspicuous.

Su Wanyi was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

Can a first-level Immortal King Realm cultivator be compared to a fifth-level Immortal King Realm cultivator?

Keep in mind, this is the Immortal King realm, not the Immortal Monarch realm!
In the Immortal Lord Realm, even a newcomer who can challenge a fifth-level Immortal Lord is considered a top-tier genius!

"How can it be……"

She murmured to herself, somewhat lost in thought.

Not far away, others who had fought with Li Hao in the Primordial True Realm were also paying attention to Li Hao's results, but when they saw the preliminary test of 43rd floor, they were all shocked.

The two who possessed the power of the Primordial Emperors were only at level 36, but Li Hao actually broke through level 40!
As many gazes fell into a daze and shock, Li Hao left the Tower of All Heavens and found that there were already many figures outside, including those old-generation powerhouses at the ninth level of the Immortal King Realm and even the Immortal King Realm Perfection.

"Have all the tests been completed?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, realizing that he was one of the slower test takers.

Most other people will choose the level corresponding to their own realm, so they can't challenge many levels before it ends.

Li Hao's gaze swept across the crowd, but he couldn't see Shi Miao's figure. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his head and saw Shi Miao's figure flying out from the 76th floor of the Tower of All Heavens. Their eyes met at the same moment, and then they rushed towards each other.

How much?

Shi Miao flew over to Li Hao's side and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Although she hadn't seen it, she felt that Li Hao's grades wouldn't be bad.

"Floor 43."

Li Hao laughed and said, "You can actually fight against a seventh-level Immortal King. That's quite an exaggerated increase in combat power."

"43?"

Shi Miao was stunned. Although she had anticipated that Li Hao's challenge level would be high, she did not expect it to be this high!
“There are some special powers that the power of reincarnation in the Tower of All Heavens cannot restore, so I had no use for them,” Shi Miao whispered.

If she were to unleash her full power, she would have other trump cards, but once she used them, her life would end, and she might even perish forever.

“These initial test results are sufficient. The biggest advantage of this Tower of All Heavens test is that it allows us to use the power of reincarnation for cultivation, enabling us to continuously try and fail,” Li Hao said.

He already sensed that with this Tower of Reincarnation, his efficiency in studying multiple realms would increase many times over!
"Ah."

Shi Miao nodded.

The two looked at the others at the same time and saw that the disciples of Jidao Mountain who had come out earlier were all rushing towards them.

The three Immortal Lord realm geniuses who had previously followed Li Hao into the first level of the Tower of All Heavens were dumbfounded when they saw Li Hao's challenge results.

Although they were not yet at the Immortal King realm, they knew how incredible this achievement was!
After all, the two Ancestral Emperor Power Awakeners that the Chaos Immortal Emperor had been talking about and praising had only reached level 36, while Li Hao was actually stronger than them!

"How's your challenge going? Did you last the first level until an incense stick burns?"

Li Hao looked at the three Immortal Lords. After all, they were fellow disciples, and as their personal disciple, he also had the idea of ​​taking care of them.

"I made it through with him, but Mo Yu almost did."

A young man with scaly markings on his face spoke, his eyes filled with extreme respect and awe.

They found it extremely difficult to even last for the duration of an incense stick on the first level, and they were only one realm away from the Immortal King realm.

The young man in front of me had only broken through to the King Realm, yet he had already reached the 43rd floor. It was hard to imagine how big the gap was!
"That's not bad."

Li Hao nodded and said to the young man who hadn't persevered, "You should also try your best; there's still hope."

"Ah."

Seeing how approachable Li Hao was and receiving his encouragement, the young man felt a surge of excitement and secretly clenched his fist.

Beside them, the other ninth-level Immortal Kings and two disciples at the peak of the Immortal King realm also looked at Li Hao and Shi Miao in astonishment, their eyes filled with undisguised shock.

Once they entered the Tower of All Heavens and found the corresponding level to challenge, they realized how difficult the trials inside the Tower of All Heavens were. None of them could break through their corresponding level. However, Li Hao and Shi Miao not only broke through, but also crossed several realms!

At this moment, they truly understood why the young man before them was their master's personal disciple, while they were merely outer disciples.

"Senior brother, you actually managed to reach the 43rd floor! Those two who awakened the power of the Primordial Emperors are only at the 36th floor. You're too strong!"

"Truly worthy of being a direct disciple of my Extreme Path lineage!"

Several elders at the ninth level of the Immortal King realm spoke up one after another.

Seeing their weathered appearance, yet still addressing him as "Senior Brother," Li Hao felt a bit strange. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked at the two disciples who had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.

"Have you broken through the hundredth floor yet?"

Li Hao asked with concern.

The two exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of resentment.

When they first arrived here, they were quite arrogant. Even when dealing with Li Hao, their personal disciple, they treated him with neither arrogance nor servility. Although they addressed him as "senior brother," it was only out of respect for the seniority within their sect. After all, the Perfect Immortal King Realm was already the pinnacle of the world, and the next level above that was the Emperor, the ultimate realm of immortals and gods.

Apart from the Great Emperor, they no longer needed to look up to anyone. However, after the challenge, they realized that there were many capable people among the myriad races in the True Realm, especially those Immortal Kings who had reached the Perfection Realm in the great races. They were extremely monstrous, and some of them had already broken through the hundredth level!
Although many failed before reaching the 101st floor, they eventually broke through 99 floors, while they were all stuck at the 99th floor and couldn't even break through it!

Seeing Li Hao's performance now, they realized that there are indeed differences in some things.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Li Hao knew there was nothing wrong. He turned around and saw their projections on the 98th floor, which surprised him.

He was at the peak of the Immortal King realm and was a disciple of the Supreme Dao lineage. Although he did not receive the true teachings, such as the top-tier Supreme Dao technique, the Wuji Emperor Technique, he had other Supreme Dao secret techniques. However, he still failed to break through his corresponding level and even failed to reach the final peak of his corresponding level.
Seeing the change in Li Hao's expression, the two felt even more embarrassed. It had been many years since they had felt so ashamed. "Haotian!"

At that moment, a low voice called out.

Li Hao turned his head and saw two familiar figures: Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi.

"Ok?"

"You're only at the first level of the Immortal King Realm, how did you manage to reach the 43rd floor?"

Luo Ningshuang's eyes were somewhat cold, concealing resentment and a trace of anger, but her expression remained restrained and calm.

Is there any necessary causal relationship between these two things?

Li Hao countered with a question.

Luo Ningshuang choked. Was there a necessary connection? Of course not. There was no rule stating that someone at the first level of the Immortal King realm should challenge a certain number of levels.

But... they weren't even at the limit of combat power for the first level of the Immortal King Realm; the young man before them was?

"Could it be that you have also awakened the power of the Primordial Emperor?"

Su Wanyi's attitude was much better, but she asked with a look of confusion in her eyes.

Li Hao shook his head. "No."

“Without the power of the Primordial Emperor, how could you possibly surpass us?” Luo Ningshuang asked unwillingly.

Seeing her attitude, Li Hao said calmly, "Does the power of the Primordial Emperor mean you can't reach the peak? Don't forget that even the Great Emperors started from mortal bodies and cultivated step by step."

Luo Ningshuang froze, staring at the young man before her. She suddenly felt a chilling sense of the world drifting away from her. Only the bright eyes of the young man were clearly visible to her. She seemed to see something in him. He was not a Celestial King, but... a young emperor!
A young emperor on the verge of rising to power!

When Luo Ningshuang fell silent, Li Hao ignored her and instead looked around at other parts of the abyss.

There are many people here, including those they know from the original True Realm, as well as the geniuses of the myriad races in the True Realm who are treasured by them.

Some prodigies had already studied in the Primordial True Realm, but those who were Li Hao's predecessors or the ones before that had long since left the Primordial True Realm and returned to their families to cultivate in seclusion.

After all, the direct descendants of some powerful clans, who receive the family's inherited imprint, can obtain cultivation resources within their families that are in no way inferior to those in the Primordial True Realm.

As he looked out, Li Hao saw many Immortal Kings with lower cultivation levels but extremely powerful auras, who were in no way weaker than Luo Ning Shuang and the others beside him.

This True King election is a true gathering of geniuses. Those who came here are not only geniuses, but also powerful individuals who can stand alone and possess terrifying combat strength.

While Li Hao was observing them, many other prodigies from various powerful clans in the Abyss were also observing Li Hao and the other Immortal Emperor disciples from the Primordial True Realm.

The names of the three Immortal Emperors, Chaos, Primordial, and Dao Source, are extremely prestigious. The larger the clan, the more aware they are of the significance of these three Immortal Emperors. After all, although the Great Emperor represents the pinnacle of immortals and gods, there are still differences between Great Emperors.

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor is an extremely special existence among all the Immortal Emperors.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor was the same.

The Primordial Immortal Emperor is rumored to be one of the oldest Immortal Emperors, possessing countless immortal techniques and secret arts. It is said that there is no immortal technique in the world that the Primordial Immortal Emperor does not know, and the core secret arts of many great clans may have been passed down from and evolved from the Primordial Immortal Emperor.

This gives an idea of ​​just how high the status of these three Celestial Emperors was.

"Those are the two direct disciples of the Chaos Immortal Emperor? Awakening the power of the Primordial Emperor, their performance is indeed quite good."

"Hmph, even with the power of the Primordial Emperor, you still couldn't break through the 40th floor. You're not even as good as you were back then, sister."

A young man hummed, and on his forehead was a mysterious black mark. The laws of the surrounding world naturally drifted toward the mark, drawn to it.

Beside her stood a young girl dressed in a dark Taoist robe, which covered her hands and feet, with only her fair wrists occasionally peeking out. Her wrists were snow-white and translucent, like white jade, and her eyes were as calm as a galaxy, containing a glimmer of light.

"Those two are from the Su family of the Northern Region and the Luo family of the Western Region. Although they are considered large families, they are both ranked outside the top thirty. How can they be compared?"

The girl spoke calmly, her tone even, without any belittling or contempt, simply stating her opinion while subtly criticizing the boy beside her.

The young man thought about it and agreed. He turned his gaze to another direction and said, "It's a pity that Di Wushe of the Imperial Clan didn't come. I heard that he is one of the top among the many imperial sons of the Imperial Clan. Now, this imperial son is no match for Di Wushe. He is at the third level of the Immortal King Realm and has actually reached the 62nd level. Sister, you are at the fifth level of the Immortal King Realm and have reached the 85th level. I don't know how much difference there is between the two."

"Perhaps we'll know once we've faced each other."

The young girl glanced at the Imperial Clan. Among the crowd of the Imperial Clan, surrounded by many ninth-level Immortal Kings, there was a young figure with a tall and straight figure and eyes like stars and the moon. He appeared to have a gentle and upright temperament, yet he possessed a convincing kingly aura.

"There's still time. As long as things can hold out for a thousand years outside, you and he will both reach the peak of the Immortal King realm. Then you can have a showdown!"

The young man said, "Only with this opportunity can our Dao Clan have a proper battle with the Imperial Clan's son."

The girl nodded slightly.

The Dao Clan ranks second among all races in the True Realm, second only to the Heavenly Emperor Clan!

However, the difference between the second and the first is that everyone in the world knows about the Imperial Clan, while the Dao Clan is talked about much less. This is partly because the Dao Clan keeps a low profile, and partly because the Imperial Clan has too much influence.

"The three Holy Sons of the Holy Clan have all arrived. The first Holy Son has already broken through the hundredth level and reached the 103rd level! The other two Holy Sons have also broken through their corresponding levels. The third Holy Son is at the same level as you, Sister, but his level is not as high as yours, only reaching the 82nd level."

The young man looked around. As a prodigy of the Dao Clan, he only cared about the core inheritors of the other top ten clans, who were their real competitors.

Outside of the top ten clans, very few have been able to rise to prominence. This is not only due to the difference in bloodline, but also the difference in family foundation.

"Ah."

Dao Qingyin nodded slightly and glanced in the direction of the Holy Clan. All three Holy Sons had arrived and were performing remarkably well. Their performance on the 82nd floor was also quite impressive.

However, she did not use some of her methods in this initial test, methods that, once used, would be impossible to recover from with the power of reincarnation.

"If one can cultivate here for a thousand years, this true king election..."

Dao Qingyin's eyes flickered. She was not willing to be just a deputy. As the current Dao Child of the Dao Clan, she bore the glory of the Dao Clan. Apart from her, the previous Dao Child had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, which was why they did not come to participate.

Therefore, if she cannot become a True King, then in this allied army, their Daoist clan will obey the orders of other True Kings, which is intolerable to her.

"It's almost over. I wonder how the two Immortal Emperors will evaluate it."

Beside him, the boy looked up, his eyes full of curiosity.

He was at the second level of the Immortal King Realm, yet he managed to reach the 41st level.

Although he couldn't compare to a monster like his sister, he felt that he wasn't much worse than those two guys who had awakened the power of the progenitor emperors.
