55: Chapter 55 The Manifestation of Myriad Paths

Jiang Hao took a single step forward. A golden path manifested beneath his feet, and a vast, majestic imperial might naturally swept out, instantly permeating all heavens.

"What's happening? An Emperor is on the move? Chaos Emperor is moving again!"

"Where is he going this time? After lying dormant for two thousand years, is he about to wage war on another Life Forbidden Zone?"

"It shouldn't be, right? Attacking a Life Forbidden Zone is no simple matter. With so many Forbidden Zone Supreme Beingss, even though Chaos Emperor is invincible, two fists can't defeat four hands."

"Then what is Chaos Emperor doing? Judging by his manner, he's definitely planning something major."

"Who knows? Let's just watch."

Across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, countless Cultivators were startled, discussing and speculating about the intentions of this invincible Emperor, their hearts filled with both awe and a trace of tension.

After all, when this Emperor moved, it often meant earth-shattering events.

Every single move of Chaos Emperor drew the gaze of all heavens.

Jiang Hao did not head towards any Life Forbidden Zone. Instead, he went straight to the highest point in the starry sky of the Origin World Universe.

He stood firm within the void, the aura around him beginning to rise without reservation.

This imperial might was peerlessly overbearing, like an ultimate divine demon about to wage war upon the world, instantly shaking the entire Universe, all eight directions.

And among them, the Life Forbidden Zones were somewhat panicked.

"What's going on? What does Jiang Hao want to do now?"

"Endless trouble! How long has this peace lasted? Can't he let me sleep peacefully? Ever since he attained the Dao, I've been on edge every day, never at ease."

"This aura of slaughter... Could it be that after a millennium of secluded cultivation, his cultivation is complete, and he wants to use us as whetstones again, to attack the Life Forbidden Zones?"

"Quick, restrain your aura, conceal your traces! Don't let him sense us!"

Jiang Hao's past battle records were too terrifying—slaying Heavenly Venerables, annihilating Patriarchs, forcing all heavens to bow their heads.

In the eyes of these Forbidden Zone Supreme Beingss, his strength had long surpassed the ordinary Extreme Dao realm, unfathomably deep.

They often grumbled in secret that they had bad luck, encountering such a monstrous freak.

Jiang Hao's strength was simply too overpowering, beating them into submission.

Now, sensing this undisguised imperial might of slaughter, many Supreme Beings' first reaction was fear and evasion, terrified of becoming the next target of this calamitous star.

Jiang Hao ignored the shock and fear from all sides.

A light glowed between his brows, resonating deeply with the heavenly heart imprint. Using his own Chaos Great Dao as the guide and the authority of the Heavenly Heart as the command, he issued a grand Dao voice that reached directly into the origin of the Great Dao.

"Ten Thousand Daos, Manifest!"

Words became Law, the Universe quaked!

Above the boundless starry sky, countless Great Dao Laws of various colors and myriad forms appeared.

As if pulled out from the void by an invisible giant hand, they manifested physically one after another!

Some of these Great Daos were like True Dragons crossing the sky, majestic and overbearing.

Some resembled divine phoenixes spreading their wings, auspicious and magnificent.

Some transformed into starry river ribbons, cold and brilliant.

Some condensed into mountain and river illusions, profound and boundless...

Countless Great Daos intertwined into a vast, boundless ocean of Laws, suspended high above the starry river, hanging down billions of strands of Dao aura. The grandeur of its might was unprecedented since ancient times.

Strands of Dao aura cascaded down, seemingly about to crush all heavens.

Those who have attained the Dao are powerful, invincible in their era, capable of shattering starry rivers.

But compared to the true Ten Thousand Daos of Heaven and Earth, they still fall far, far short.

Now that the Ten Thousand Daos of Heaven and Earth were revealed, ordinary people didn't know exactly how terrifying they were.

But Jiang Hao knew. Before this terrifying Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, even Supreme Beings were completely insignificant.

This was why Jiang Hao waited until his strength was sufficient before coming.

Without enough strength, one was not qualified to sort out the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Forcing it would be suicide.

And this was only the shattered Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.

"I truly wonder, how powerful must the Great Dao have been before the Immortal Realm shattered?" Jiang Hao thought to himself.

Even shattered and broken to this extent, it was still this formidable. How incredible must the complete Immortal Realm have been?

Although the beings of the Universe did not understand Jiang Hao's intentions, being able to see the manifestation of the Ten Thousand Daos of Heaven and Earth so clearly was itself an immense Opportunity!

Countless Cultivators stuck at Bottlenecks felt a sudden surge of inspiration, instantly gaining insights.

Even more Cultivators trembled with excitement, prostrating themselves towards Jiang Hao's direction in worship, their voices converging into a torrent:

"We praise Chaos Emperor! We thank the Emperor for bestowing the Dao!"

They didn't care what Chaos Emperor was doing; they only knew it was beneficial to them now.

A cold Divine Thought emanated from a certain Life Forbidden Zone:

"What exactly is Jiang Hao trying to do? Creating such a commotion, neither attacking us nor charging the immortal path..."

"Why bother with so much? As long as he's not here to trouble us, let him do as he pleases!"

"Hmph, this level of cultivation, this method of mobilizing the Ten Thousand Daos... truly enviable..."

"What's the use of envy? No matter how strong Jiang Hao is, if he doesn't become immortal, the day will come when his imperial fate ends and he turns to dust. We just need to wait quietly."

Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't seem to be targeting the Life Forbidden Zones, many Forbidden Zone Supreme Beingss secretly sighed in relief and began to watch coldly from the sidelines.

Jiang Hao's gaze was like a torch, sweeping across the manifested ocean of Ten Thousand Daos.

He immediately discovered the problem: among the many Great Daos, they were not operating harmoniously. In some places, there were conflicts and mutual rejection.

Some Dao principles were resplendent and strong, representing the new mainstream of Heaven and Earth.

Others were dim and obscure, yet stubbornly entrenched—these were the scars of old Daos left over from the Primordial God War.

The Laws of the Great Dao intertwined with each other, mutually hindering, severely obstructing the operation and recovery of the Origin of Heaven and Earth.

"Quite serious." Jiang Hao hesitated no longer.

He activated the heavenly heart imprint, using it as a hub, and began forcibly sorting out and harmonizing the chaotic Ten Thousand Daos.

Simultaneously, his soaring imperial intent of slaughter materialized into a tangible heavenly blade, slashing fiercely towards those old Daos that hindered the development of the new Laws!

He wanted to cut away the blockages, make room for the growth of the new Daos, and straighten the flow of Heaven and Earth's Laws.

Jiang Hao's actions, akin to interfering with Heaven and Earth's own metabolism, immediately provoked a terrifying backlash!

"Boom!"

As if angering the unseen will of Heaven and Earth, infinite suppressive force surged from all directions, seeking to crush him.

Immeasurable tribulation light emerged out of thin air, transforming into world-destroying divine lightning of various colors. Each bolt could shatter stars, raining down upon him madly!

Even more terrifying, from within those old Daos he was cutting, vague yet supremely majestic phantoms actually evolved!

These were manifestations of the Dao imprints of ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables who had fallen or left behind Dao traces in the past.

As if stepping out from history, they brought with them part of their former divine powers and fighting spirit, unleashing their respective forbidden ultimate techniques, joining forces to kill Jiang Hao, this rebel against Heaven!

Jiang Hao stood at the summit of the Universe, his expression unchanged, swinging his imperial fist to meet the attack.

His fist imprints were simple and unadorned, yet contained the true intent of destroying all Laws, clashing head-on with the Sky tribulation lightning and numerous imperial phantoms!

"Boom! Boom!"

The aftershocks of the battle were utterly terrifying. If not for Jiang Hao intentionally keeping the battlefield confined to the Supreme void, the residual waves would have been enough to annihilate several nearby Star Domains!

Even so, beings in distant starry skies could see chaotic flashes of light there, Laws annihilating and rebirthing, like an omen of the Universe's end.

Seeing these world-destroying, terrifying phenomena, all living beings in the heavens instantly fell into panic and lamentation:

"Heavens! What is the Emperor doing? Is he... is he trying to shatter this Universe?"

"Chaos Emperor, we beg you, please stop! Have mercy on all living beings under Heaven!"

"He's gone mad! Chaos Emperor has completely lost his mind! He wants to destroy the Origin World, to return everything to Chaos!"

Some even began to curse in despair.

Because the scene was simply too terrifying, like the apocalypse had descended.

And they also didn't understand why Chaos Emperor was opposing Heaven and Earth, why he was fighting the Great Dao.
