"Human race, your destiny has come to an end. You have been too arrogant in this life, allowing that murderous demon of the Burial Emperor Star to slaughter geniuses at will! The path to becoming an emperor in this life is destined to be out of your reach."
A majestic voice resounded, and a giant hand, spanning tens of thousands of miles, blotted out the sky, grasping the tenth city of the human race in its palm.
In the vast universe, a colossal stone figure appeared, its blood-red aura soaring to the heavens that it made the entire star field tremble. Its eyes were as terrifying as torches. It stood tall, its height unknown, spanning countless miles.
This is an extremely powerful Holy Spirit, whose Great Sage aura is almost transforming into Emperor-like power!
He could reach out and grasp the moon and pluck stars; with a clear whistle, he sent meteorites flying, and some asteroids exploded in the process.
"At the peak of the Great Sage realm, he is just one step away from stepping into the Quasi-Emperor realm!"
"It is said that stone-embedded holy spirits are extremely rare since ancient times, and each one is invincible in its own realm. How can we possibly fight such powerful beings?"
"Perhaps in a few decades or a hundred years, that killing embryo that forcefully cuts through the first half of the ancient human path can do it, but not now. Unless a quasi-emperor descends, no one can stop it!"
People gasped in alarm, many despairing. Were there still quasi-emperors in the current starry sky? Although there were always legends about them, no one had ever actually seen one.
Just when people were in despair, a spear, tens of thousands of miles long, pierced through the starry sky, blocking the Holy Spirit's great hand and preventing the tenth city of humanity from being captured!
The protector of humanity, the Great Sage Qingze, appeared, his Dharma form filling the sky, standing tall in the universe like Pangu who created the world, confronting the Great Sage Holy Spirit from afar.
The horn of attack sounded. From the depths of the outer realm, savage beasts roared, dark clouds pressed down, and all rushed towards the ancient star below.
A massive army charged in, consisting of only a few holy spirits and mostly unknown alien races. Their battle cries shook the heavens as they surged onto the earth.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a good time. My sixth transformation of the single secret realm technique still needs some accumulation, so let these holy spirits be our stepping stones!" Yun Hua surging his blood and qi, wearing holy armor, holding a battle sword, with the Tian Shu star orbit instrument above his head, his unparalleled heroism dispelled the dark clouds as he spoke to the ruthless man.
"Very well, the Holy Spirit Clan's origin is also quite good." The ruthless man had no objection. With the Great Dao Treasure Bottle on his head, his origin was almost transforming into a chaotic body, making his physical body extremely terrifying, capable of contending with a Great Sage.
Three years have passed, and Yunhua has conceived the prototype of the sixth transformation. His strength has also reached the peak of the mid-stage Saint King. However, his soft voice and primordial spirit are enough to fight against a Great Saint without being at a disadvantage.
Having survived five minor tribulations to become a Saint King, this ruthless individual is now a cultivator at the sixth minor stage of the Saint King realm. His physical body, which is about to transform into a Chaos Body, is no less impressive than Yun Hua's.
In this battle, seven out of ten of the human guards were lost, and the number of trial participants was also reduced by more than half. However, the invading Holy Spirit Clan army was wiped out, almost causing the Holy Spirit Clan to be wiped out.
During a critical moment, Yunhua possessed the Great Saint Spirit and forcibly broke through to the sixth transformation, reaching the peak of Saint King in basic strength. In a state of divine restriction, he fought against this Saint Spirit who was about to become a Quasi-Emperor without being at a disadvantage. In the end, he joined forces with a ruthless person who had passed through three heavenly tribulations and reached the peak of Saint King to kill this Great Saint Spirit who had already generated Emperor Qi.
Chapter 131 The End of the Ancient Road
The universe is infinite, and without using the Five-Colored Altar, Divine Light Platform, Star Domain Teleportation Array, or other means of teleportation, even a saint would get lost in the vast universe.
The cold universe is so vast that countless cultivators feel their own insignificance. The universe is infinite and boundless, and only those at the level of Great Emperors can travel to its end and reach the edge of the universe.
In the vast and boundless universe, without following specific ancient paths and without any coordinates, once you leave those specific locations and enter an unfamiliar star field, you may never see any life even after thousands of lifetimes.
The eighty-first level of the Human Holy City is magnificent and enormous, suspended in a starry sky, shrouded in silvery starlight, and looks sacred and peaceful.
But at this moment, the city gate was extremely quiet. Apart from Yunhua and the ruthless man who had come here, the city's garrison commander and a few residents, there were no other outsiders.
In the latter half of the ancient road, no one could rival Yunhua and Ruthless. The two could only fight each other to verify their own Dao principles. They fought all the way to the eighty-first level, and both entered the Great Sage realm. Yunhua underwent her seventh transformation along the way, and Ruthless directly transcended the tribulation to become a Great Sage.
He traveled alone, rarely seeing other trial participants, as the world was not yet at its most prosperous.
Indeed, a great era has arrived, with many heroes standing side by side, and outstanding figures constantly emerging to conquer the path to the throne.
However, they are still young and have not yet arrived here. But it is foreseeable that in a few decades or hundreds of years, those peerless geniuses will break through the encirclement and descend upon this place.
But the Emperor's Path is unique; after a fierce battle, how many will remain?
In this golden age, beneath the waves lies not only heroic spirit, but also tears, blood, and bones.
This is a glorious path, but also a lonely and tragic one.
The ancient road of the human race has a total of 108 passes.
However, after level 81, the path ahead is completely broken, and you need to build it yourself, or even open up the five-colored altar, to find a way forward.
Clearly, this is a test for the trial participants. If they get lost or die in dangerous places or battles, then there will only be one more skeleton on the road to becoming an emperor.
Yunhua and the ruthless man walked out of the city gate. The ancient road was dilapidated. After walking for a while, they could not see any human habitation or life. They entered the vast and desolate dead star field and could not sense anything.
This is a path of self-reflection, a path for those who come after to continue the broken road, repair the original human altar, and make the ancient road unobstructed. This process is fraught with great difficulty.
Some desolate lands are vast seas of white bones, upon which five-colored altars are built. As for the cities, they have long since crumbled into rubble, hanging in the cold universe.
As time goes by, too much glory and honor have been erased, and all that passion and heroism has been scattered with the wind, leaving only the dust of history.
Perhaps when the ancient road reopens during the next golden age, even the relics of history will have disappeared.
Yunhua and the ruthless man continued their journey, not using their great magical power to directly traverse the void, but like ordinary trial participants, constructing array platforms and walking through them section by section.
This is a process of arduous self-cultivation, and also an experience of seeking the truth and asking questions. It involves going through the deepest loneliness, truly pointing to one's true nature, asking oneself how to move forward, and casting aside all distracting thoughts.
Over the course of five years, Yunhua experienced this process firsthand, cultivating her mind and seeking the Dao, returning to the ordinary, gradually settling down and sublimating, and her whole being gained an ethereal quality.
Just as when one has experienced the prosperity of a great era and feels weary, one longs to step into the countryside, to look back and realize that one has been trapped in a cage for so long, and to return to nature.
The two are both companions and rivals. On the vast and lonely road ahead, they are the only ones who accompany each other. At this moment, their feelings have transcended boundaries. They are the closest comrades-in-arms, the best friends, the dearest friends to whom they can entrust their lives, and the most beloved who follow each other in their hearts.
Yunhua has entered his eighth transformation, reaching the peak of the Great Sage realm. His physical body and primordial spirit have become Quasi-Emperors, making his strength terrifyingly powerful. He can even fight against Quasi-Emperors at the seventh level.
The ruthless man also passed through the Nine Heavens Tribulation, reaching the peak of the Great Saint realm, and his physical body reached the level of a Quasi-Emperor, ready to undergo the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation at any time.
The Human Race's 108 Trials: The End of the Ancient Path of Trials.
A mystical aura rises, and countless stars twinkle. The entire ancient city is magnificent and grand, far surpassing any city seen before. This is the final barrier.
There is a staircase in the starry sky, paved with bluestone slabs, leading straight ahead, which looks very different and mysterious under the dazzling starry sky.
In the universe, there is such an ancient bluestone path, inexplicably strange, yet not to be underestimated. Walking on it evokes a sense of pilgrimage.
Unbeknownst to them, a series of divine chants resounded along the ancient bluestone road, deafeningly loud, like scriptures resounding on their own, like ancient gods preaching, enlightening and awakening people.
Just ahead, the starlight was like water, brilliant and clear, accompanied by mysterious and hazy clouds, as if one had arrived at a fairy city.
"The last city of humanity is not the end, but the beginning, the beginning of the Emperor's Path, the beginning of the Immortal Path."
Yun Hua's eyes shone like the blazing sun, his body radiating immortal spiritual energy and swirling with chaotic energy, as if surrounded by a misty haze, ethereal and transcendent.
It appears to be cast from black metal, gleaming with a cold luster, with a faint dark red halo appearing, like specks of blood.
According to legend, this is the holy blood that flowed when powerful figures fell in ancient battles, and even the blood of quasi-emperors.
Of course, it has long since dried up and its essence has dissipated, otherwise this city would surely be filled with murderous intent and unapproachable.
The massive city gate tower was hundreds of feet tall, allowing even ancient giants to pass through. It was magnificent and imposing, exuding a sense of awe and oppression.
These are a pair of gates forged from a mixture of star sand and various divine irons. Their colors differ from the city's overall color, and they flow with a dreamlike radiance that is truly breathtaking.
This is because these are the most precious materials used by sages to forge weapons, and now they have become the materials for building the gate. This shows how rare the last city is.
The bluestone road stretches from the starry sky all the way to the city gate, accompanied by the chanting of countless monks, guiding Yunhua and the ruthless man into the city.
Like the ancient human city before it, the city was inhabited by descendants of the trial participants or gatekeepers. Their numbers were not small. They all watched Yunhua and the ruthless man enter the pass quietly, as if witnessing a myth, and saw them walk out of the city gate and into the final ultimate place.
A majestic pass stands tall, shrouded in primordial chaos. Time cannot erase its traces; eternally silent, it exudes grandeur amidst the void.
The pass may be nameless, but the names of the Yin Emperor, the Sun Emperor, and the Feathered Emperor are engraved on each pillar, which speaks volumes!
One after another, massive stone pillars soar into the nebula, like pillars supporting the sky, standing before the majestic pass. Each one is a piece of history, etched with the veins of time.
Dozens of stone pillars stand side by side, towering and imposing. On each pillar is engraved the name of a great emperor or ancient sovereign, from different powerful clans, leaving their mark. They do not display glory or honor, but are merely imprints.
Chapter 132 Returning to Beidou
Yunhua Ruthless walked around the pillar, observing the ancient ruins and the sacred stone, as if he saw one lonely emperor after another pausing here.
The pass was quiet, unguarded, with its gates tightly shut and huge bronze rings with animal heads hanging from them. The city walls were tall and dull, as if no one had been around for a long time.
The ancient path to the ultimate trial has not yet been opened; it is not the right time. The crystal wall and stone tablet block the entrance. Cultivators who come here only need to carve their names and leave their mark.
In the future, once the formidable pass is opened, no matter where you are, a divine gate will appear, giving you a choice. You only need to take one step to reach this place.
At this time, no one had yet engraved their name on the crystal tablet.
Yunhua and Ruthless Man lingered in front of the crystal tablet for a moment, but did not choose to leave their names. They would not be able to wait for this ultimate ancient road to open. Even if the ancient road opened, no one would be their match, so it would be completely meaningless.
They may not be able to achieve the same level of power as other ancient emperors, by conquering all under heaven and becoming invincible before attaining enlightenment.
Finally, they lingered at the ultimate place for a moment, then turned and stepped into the depths of the starry sky to travel to other star fields, seek the truth, and accumulate knowledge.
They travel through the universe, exploring the vast starry sky and the brilliant stars, which conceal countless secrets. Throughout history, one powerful figure after another has tried to explore them, yet they have never reached the end of their journey.
They traversed many dead star systems and descended upon one alien star system after another.
He comprehends the Dao in the vast universe, quietly perceives the traces of the Dao between heaven and earth, and witnesses the splendor of the universe.
In the universe, every ancient star with life has a Dao lying dormant. Whenever Yunhua visits an ancient star with life, he tries to comprehend the Dao imprinted on it.
This is a silent journey of self-cultivation, a solitary travel, without great battles or serendipitous opportunities, only the enlightenment of countless great principles.
In some ancient star fields, Yunhua captured the Daoist essence of the former emperors. Those ancient stars that emperors and sovereigns had visited all bore the imprint of their past Dao.
Yunhua wandered through star fields, comprehension of different paths, and observation of different landscapes, refining her mind and cultivating her Dao.
The universe was cold and utterly silent, without a sound. Starlight streaked across the distance, adding to the serene atmosphere.
Yunhua treads on starlight, walking through the cold and desolate universe, cultivating along the way, traversing all the star fields, observing the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth and nature, and experiencing the secrets of all things in the beginning.
They traveled to the Eternal Starfield, experienced different science fiction civilizations, studied their proud mechs and evolution fluids, swept across the Eternal Starfield, seized resources, refined advanced evolution fluids, and learned about their culture and wisdom.
He traveled to many star fields, visited the ancient star of Heavenly Soldiers, obtained the Celestial Venerable's Immortal Platform Liquid, went to the Divine Realm, studied the Longevity Method of the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, comprehended the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, and learned the strongest killing sword of the Emperor's Path.
Twenty years later, Yunhua and Ruthless Man traveled through many star fields. Yunhua also entered the ninth transformation of the single secret realm. Nine is the extreme number and the end of the single secret realm. Yunhua stepped into the quasi-emperor realm. His physical body of the Chaos Body was perfected and he could challenge the Supreme. His primordial spirit evolved into the Yang God thought of the One Yuan Number and could fight against the quasi-emperor of the ninth level.
However, Yunhua has reached his limit. Apart from the Sendai Secret Realm, he has opened up all the other secret realms to the level of Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven. If he cannot sever his Dao, he will be trapped in this realm forever.
Yunhua was still hesitating, unsure whether his path should be to evolve the world from chaos or to create a new world, even though he could break through to the seventh step of the Sendai realm by choosing either one.
However, a subconscious thought told him that it concerned his path to enlightenment and that he should not make a hasty decision, but rather be cautious, or he would regret it for the rest of his life. Although he did not understand where this subconscious thought came from, he still listened to it and did not easily step into the path of severance.
The ruthless man directly opened up his scriptures to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, leaving only the Immortal Platform Secret Realm unopened. His strength also directly passed through three Heavenly Tribulations, reaching the Quasi-Emperor Level 3. His physical body was inferior to Yun Hua's, but his strength was comparable to a Quasi-Emperor Level 9 cultivator.
The two stepped directly onto the golden road, the space was compressed to the extreme, the speed was increased to the limit, the power was boundless, and the imperial aura swept across many star fields, like a great emperor traveling, and flew all the way to the ancient star of the Big Dipper, which is also the Burial Emperor Star, the place where the two started.
"Now that you're back on Beidou Ancient Star, is there anything you need to do?" Yunhua looked at the ruthless man, her eyes showing little emotion, neither nostalgia nor anticipation.
"Does annihilating the Feathered Divine Dynasty count?" The ruthless woman's tone was cold and devoid of emotion, but Yunhua knew her and knew that she was determined to destroy the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
"The Feathered Divine Dynasty probably has quite a few Quasi-Emperor level resources and an Emperor Weapon. Is it too early to make a move now? There might be unforeseen circumstances." Yun Hua knew that with Ruthless Man's current strength, he was capable of dealing with ordinary Quasi-Emperor level nine cultivators, but who among those who reached the Quasi-Emperor level nine didn't have the ability to fight across minor realms?
A hint of hesitation flashed in the ruthless woman's eyes, but then turned into determination: "We have immortal artifacts, don't you intend to help me?" The ruthless woman's clear, spring-like eyes gazed at Yun Hua.
"Well, what I mean is, there are too many forbidden zones on the Big Dipper Ancient Star. Once we go to war with the Feathered Divine Dynasty, we might have to use immortal artifacts, which would easily be discovered by the supreme beings of the forbidden zones." Yun Hua was not afraid of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, even though he knew that the Feathered Emperor was not dead and was undergoing his third transformation. However, the method he chose for his third transformation was to become a Holy Spirit. If he failed, all his efforts would be in vain, and he certainly would not leave the mountain to care about the life or death of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. He was afraid that the supreme beings of the forbidden zones would attack him en masse to seize the immortal artifacts.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" the ruthless man asked, somewhat hesitant to act rashly.
"We can first capture some important figures from the Feathered Divine Dynasty in Beidou to understand its strength and resources. Knowing ourselves and our enemy is the key to victory. Then we can accumulate some resources so that we can break through several minor realms at any time to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. Finally, we can go to the Feathered Ancient Star and sweep through the ancestral land of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, forcing the Feathered Divine Dynasty forces in Beidou to return to defend. Then we can besiege the enemy and attack their reinforcements, slowly eroding the Feathered Divine Dynasty's power. This will avoid the problem of a large-scale attack at once and also solve the issue of being close to the forbidden zone and easily having our immortal artifacts discovered."
Yunhua's suggestion was undeniably thorough. It was practically a foolproof example of the art of stratagem, demonstrating that Yunhua had truly mastered the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
The ruthless man gave Yunhua a strange look, as if to say, "I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have so many wicked thoughts and be able to come up with such a vicious plan."
"Why are you looking at me like that? Just tell me if it's feasible or not, that's all." Yunhua touched the tip of her nose and said awkwardly.
"That's a good idea. Let's do it your way. Let's go back to Beidou first." The ruthless man immediately prepared to set off for Beidou to learn about the foundation of the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
The two transformed into streaks of light and took a single step, arriving at the location of the five-colored altar in the eastern wilderness of the ancient Big Dipper star, a place where they had spent some time before.
"This place seems to be extraordinary. Perhaps it's a path to immortality. I can even sense a faint aura of immortality deep within the valley." Yunhua, holding a celestial weapon and sword, was extremely sensitive to the aura of immortality.
"It is indeed the aura of immortals, and the spatial fluctuations are different from other places. The space here is extremely thin." The ruthless man casually tore open the space in front of him, and a burst of immortal spiritual energy spread out.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look. I've never seen what the Immortal Path looks like in my entire life. Let's see it for ourselves today." Yunhua stepped inside, and the ruthless man followed closely behind.
Chapter 133 Implementation Plan
This section of the immortal path doesn't feel like a road at all; instead, it feels like a celestial world, teeming with celestial energy. The chaotic energy and spatial storms that drift everywhere make this section of the immortal path seem somewhat dangerous.
At its end is a wall composed of numerous laws and chaotic energy. This is a dead end, and only those with the strength of an Emperor can forcefully blast open the path to continue exploring the Immortal Path.
Yunhua tried it, unleashing a full-force attack. Although it opened a small hole, it healed quickly. However, it wasn't without its benefits. The immortal light emanating from it gave Yunhua a strange sense of nourishment for his physical body and soul.
Yunhua sensed that this divine light seemed to be able to erase the marks of time etched on the Sea of Wheels, which also meant that the divine light could make people young again, but a sufficient amount was required.
So the two of them stood before this wall, sensing the laws and the aura of immortality, comparing and verifying their own imperial and immortal laws with the immortal energy, thus elevating their own imperial and immortal laws.
Although doing this will not allow one to possess the laws of immortality, it is extremely beneficial for perfecting one's own imperial path. It is indeed much faster to comprehend the imperial path here than in the outside world.
Yunhua began to conceive of a single secret realm transformation that transcended the extreme realm, allowing himself to break through in the Quasi-Emperor realm. Moreover, this breakthrough beyond the extreme realm was a rare experience.
A vast number of runes bloomed like flowers of the Great Dao, and the repeated chanting of scriptures echoed throughout this section of the Immortal Path. Yunhua was paving the way forward, which could be considered an attempt to surpass those who came before. Whether successful or not, it would be a rich and profound experience.
