Feeling this boundless power at his will, Li Hao was struck with awe. Was this the Eighth Extreme Realm?
The Dao Domain, with its 360 layers, had reached a kind of ultimate perfection, forming a complete circle in harmony with heaven and earth!
Inside the Dao Domain, laws interwove and myriad phenomena emerged. Strangely enough, at the 359th layer of the Dao Domain, Li Hao had needed to summon a tremendous amount of power to display all its capabilities. After all, deploying the Dao Domain was extremely energy-consuming, let alone with as many as 359 layers overlapping. Even with Li Hao drawing from the Heaven and Earth Vein, he could only sustain it for a few minutes.
But now, with the formation of the 360th Dao Domain, it seemed to mimic the self-sustaining nature of heaven and earth, requiring only a minimal amount of energy for Li Hao to maintain it indefinitely!
With such low consumption, even if Li Hao enveloped himself with the Dao Domain at all times, he could sustain it for a long duration.
Li Hao’s eyes sparkled. Beyond the drastic reduction in energy consumption, the most terrifying aspect was the transformation of the Dao Domain itself. If he were to reveal all his capabilities at the Extreme Realm, he wondered if he could rival a Semi-Saint.
This Eighth Extreme Realm, Li Hao named it the Eternal Dao Domain!
Indestructible, invincible!

As the Eighth Extreme Realm was accomplished, Li Hao did not stop but instead condensed the Dao Domain and resumed practicing the remaining Cultivation Techniques of the tenth Divine Dynasty.
However, as his cultivation continued, and these techniques evolved into the stage of the Dao Domain, the newly formed Dao Domains were squeezed and could neither integrate into the Eternal Dao Domain nor be deployed.
The Eternal Dao Domain, like a legitimate wife, encircled Li Hao closely. Any newly cultivated Dao Domain was instantly scattered by the dominance of the Eternal Dao Domain, unable to coalesce.
Stunned by this discovery, and drawing from prior experiences, Li Hao knew that the Extreme Realm was not the final stage.
The Eighth Extreme Realm must be the same, and currently, he seemed to be facing a bottleneck of the Eighth Extreme Realm.
Breaking through this bottleneck was the challenge on his path towards the Ultimate Realm.
But reaching the Extreme Realm was difficult, and breaking through it was even more challenging!
Li Hao tried several times, all ending in failures, and he had to give up temporarily.
"The Eighth Extreme Realm, mutually influencing each other; without the Heaven and Earth Vein, it would be impossible to cultivate the Eighth Extreme Realm. Just the process of overlapping more than three hundred Dao Domains would deplete all strength. Therefore, cultivating the Heaven and Earth Vein is fundamental for other Extreme Realms!"
"Perhaps for the Eighth Extreme Realm, it would be easier if the previous Ultimate Realms were accomplished first."
Li Hao’s eyes flickered; now that the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm was completed, the second Extreme Realm was the Heaven and Earth Vein.
If he could further enhance the Heaven and Earth Vein, it might help significantly with the later stages of cultivation in the Ultimate Realms.
But the Heaven and Earth Vein had already reached its limit.
All 108 major pulses had been opened, along with the Yin and Yang pulses, integrating seamlessly with heaven and earth; this was the pinnacle of the Zhou Tian Realm!
Taking a step further and breaking through this bottleneck, Li Hao had no clue.

Thinking it over, Li Hao decided to consult Zhan Tan, who had vast knowledge and might have some clues to provide.
Li Hao rose, subdued his aura, and went to Zhan Tan’s courtyard.
With Zhan Tan’s permission, he could freely enter her courtyard without prior notice, a privilege not even granted to several of her Direct Disciples.
In the courtyard, Zhan Tan was painting. Li Hao saw her drawing a small flower and smiled slightly. Although the flower seemed ordinary, under her brush, it held an extraordinary resilience, a will that could break through dark soil.
Li Hao knew that her Artistic Path had made progress.
Noticing Li Hao’s arrival, Zhan Tan just finished her painting, turned her head towards him, and smiled warmly, asking:
"How do you like my painting?"
"Very nice."
Li Hao praised generously.
A brighter smile appeared on Zhan Tan’s face, and the courtyard’s sunlight seemed to become more radiant. She suddenly gazed intently at Li Hao, scrutinizing him and puzzledly asked:
"Has your cultivation improved?"
Although she hadn’t delved deeply into Li Hao’s aura, she felt that he seemed more formidable than before, a very subtle intuitive feeling.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised; he had the All Phenomena and other encyclopedia attributes to conceal his aura, yet she could still perceive it, which was quite sharp.
"Sort of."
Li Hao said to Zhan Tan: "I wanted to ask, after reaching the Extreme Realm, do you know how to advance further?"
"Breaking through the Extreme Realm?"
Zhan Tan was surprised but then nodded understandingly, smiling: "It’s normal for you to have such thoughts. Exploring the power beyond the Extreme Realm has been the endeavor of All Saints since ancient times. We were also curious initially when we reached the Extreme Realm, wondering if it could be broken through to advance further, but after various attempts, we realized that breaking the Extreme Realm is nearly impossible."
"However, the Extreme Realm is not the ultimate end. In ancient times, there was a Saint who broke through an Extreme Realm, proving further cultivation beyond it is possible, but breaking through the Extreme Realm is as hard as reaching the skies, even Saints find it difficult to accomplish."
Li Hao paused, then quickly asked: "Which Extreme Realm did that Saint break through?"
"It seems to have been the fifteenth."
Zhan Tan said: "That was a very long time ago. That Saint’s whereabouts have long disappeared, leaving only a note to his disciples, warning them never to cultivate the fifteenth Ultimate Realm, as it was forbidden!"
"Huh?"
Li Hao was puzzled; the opponent broke through the fifteenth Extreme Realm?
Li Hao knew that the Divine Clan was a race derived from practitioners of the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm.
The fifteenth Ultimate Realm, being forbidden, where did that originate from?
"These are all rumors, the true or false of which is hard to say, it has been too long."
Zhan Tan looked at Li Hao, her lips curling into a light smile: "Your thoughts resemble ours back in the day; Ye Ancestor and Green Ancestor, when they were young Heavenly Prides, also aspired to achieve the greatest of all times, but ultimately, they were defeated by reality, realizing the vastness of heaven and earth, with countless monsters, and that they were just one among them."
