Chapter 301: Spanning the Ancient Road, Invincible Across the World

"What…… Void Great Emperor? As the rumors say, buried in the boundless universe?!"

Black Emperor was shocked, his eyes almost popping out, he stared fixedly at that emperor's coffin.

He and the Wicked Daoist had more than once set their sights on the Ji family's ancient tomb, among which the mausoleum of the Ji family's ancestor, the Void Great Emperor, was the most irresistible temptation!

Yang Zhu had once told them, the Void Great Emperor spent his life in war, and after death he buried himself in the universe; today they finally got to see it with their own eyes.

"My goodness, an ancient great emperor!"

Even the Dragon Horse felt parched, just thinking that the ancient coffin held a great emperor, his pores erupted with excitement, and his dragon scales rose with blazing holy flames.

"What a pity, the Void Great Emperor spent his life in war, but in the end could only drift in the universe."

Black Emperor sighed, he naturally had heard many deeds of the Void Great Emperor, waging war in the Life Forbidden Zone, slaying the Supreme Ultimate……

Among the many great emperors, the Void is absolutely one he greatly admires.

"Nice move……"

However, besides sighing, Yang Zhu also felt a hint of another emotion.

Just thinking that the Void Great Emperor faked his death, luring the Forbidden Zone Supreme out to kill him, he inexplicably felt like laughing and feeling sorrowful.

If it weren't that there was no other way, the Void Great Emperor would not have, before his sitting down, tried his utmost to bring away some supremes.

"Farewell, Great Emperor."

Yang Zhu did not step forward, but stood in place, clasped his hands in a bow, and watched the emperor's coffin drift from the depths of the universe, then sail into the boundless starry sky.

Several people remained silent, solemn, until the ancient coffin had disappeared for a long time before they set off.

"Emperor Heaven has arrived, waiting at the 30th Pass for the Emperor Son, wanting to do battle with him!"

Soon after, Yang Zhu and the others heard a piece of news, concerning Emperor Heaven and themselves.

The two of them are heaven's pride sons on the Ancient Road, astonishing the world, naturally attracting attention; once the news spread, it spread like wings, sweeping across every corner of the Ancient Road! "Emperor Heaven has been invincible on the Ancient Road for several years, hard to find an opponent, even his mount divine beast has been a saint for many years, making him one of the few most hopeful to prove the Dao in the present age!"

The people of the Ancient Road heard this and erupted in an uproar; Emperor Heaven had already made his name known across the Ancient Road decades ago, with few rivals.

Only the Ancient Wasteland could stand shoulder to shoulder, having the qualification to compare superiority.

"Emperor Heaven truly has outstanding talent, but now he faces the Emperor Son; even a god reincarnated would be doomed to fall!"

"Not bad, the Chaos Holy Fetus, the number one physique since ancient times, is immensely strong; even a Holy Spirit would be powerless before him, Emperor Heaven is simply seeking his own death."

But now that Yang Zhu has appeared, sweeping aside everything and surpassing ancient and modern, those heavenly pride contenders on the Ancient Road, compared to him, all look dim and lackluster.

Without a doubt, more people think Emperor Heaven cannot win, and that he is "bringing disgrace upon himself."

"The showdown of the two peak heavenly prides—could we really witness a historic moment?"

Everyone watched with bated breath, eagerly awaiting this splendid battle; for a time many trainees rushed madly to the 30th Pass, just to see it with their own eyes.

"Hiss—"

On the Human Race Ancient Road, Yang Zhu and his three companions pressed forward, the Dragon Horse roared, taking a step that covered hundreds of miles, reaching extreme speed.

"Someone."

Suddenly, Yang Zhu sensed something, gazing into the distant horizon, he saw three figures standing respectively on three meteors.

Those three had extraordinary bearing, arms crossed, as if hunting, with a hint of amusement in their eyes, keenly watching a person, a horse, and a dog.

A terrifying aura surged like a vast ocean, raging and sweeping; they merely stood there, and the stars beneath their feet almost exploded.

Only differing from the Human Race, their divine power seemed mixed with some concealed, excellent demonic aura.

"After waiting so long, we finally see the Human Race."

Among them, a young man's emerald eyes flashed with frenzy, as if seeing prey delighted him, he couldn't help licking his scarlet lips.

"Damn, I thought it was something, just a few damn monster races, yet they dare to shout here."

Black Emperor's cultivation is now formidable; versed in formations, he can see through all illusions, and instantly discerned the three's identities.

Those three are heavenly prides from the Monster Race, though young they have already reached the Seventh Layer of Saint; such strength, even placed in the Human Race Ancient Continent, would be an extremely powerful existence.

"Hehe… interesting, interesting, since you've seen through our identities, no need to hold back—let you die a swift death!"

A youthful-looking young man gave a cold smile; though his appearance was small, his eyes revealed a hint of vicissitudes, evidently his true age was frighteningly old.

"Hiss—"

Seeing the opponent so arrogant, the Dragon Horse raised its four hooves and let out dragon roars; holy might swept in all directions, crushing the surrounding meteors into powder.

"A natural rare species, indeed a rare divine beast!"

The others were startled, drawn in by the Dragon Horse's demeanor, couldn't help but exclaim; their shock and greed were laid bare.

"Just a few clueless little pests, no need for the Emperor Son to act."

Having said that, the Dragon Horse shot forth like a gust of wind, leaving only several afterimages that faded, making its form hard to catch.

"Boom!"

Not giving the opponent a chance to react, a hoof as huge as a small mountain stomped down, instantly heaven and earth collapsed, meteors shattered, the might terrifying!

This blow could trample extraterrestrial immortal iron to dust; one of them, unprepared, with a muffled thud, his chest caved in a large area.

Pu! A heart-rending pain surged, his face twisted, a large mouthful of blood mixed with viscera spurted out, he flew backward like chaff for thousands of feet.

A crackling sound burst from within his body, tendons and bones shattered, a bowl-sized blood hole glaringly visible, front and back see-through.

His chest was pierced through by the Dragon Horse's hoof! "Not good!"

The other two only then realized, their faces grim, knowing they had kicked an iron plate, fearing they'd stirred up big trouble.

The two tried to turn and flee, but a black giant claw struck down from the void, tougher than immortal iron, boundlessly terrifying, like a heavenly meteor smashing face‑first! "Bang!"

As expected, the two were heavily wounded, instantly flung sideways, blood appearing, their bodies covered in fine blood streaks, nearly torn apart.

Black Emperor's body is as strong as an ox, having been nourished by unknown amounts of divine materials and immortal treasures, comparable to divine iron; even a peak saint would have no certainty of being able to deal with him!

"Pathetic, not even qualified to be this lord's pet!"

Black Emperor shook his head with a hint of regret, his expression indifferent, as if having weathered vicissitudes, possessing a composure that sees through worldliness.

He stood tall beside Yang Zhu, likewise bearing an indescribable noble aura, mighty and imposing, extraordinarily overbearing!

"Damn it, hand over all your treasures, or I'll beat the shit out of you!"

But in the blink of an eye, the Black Emperor became lecherous again, squinting his eyes and looking down at the three, his eyes full of greed. "I'll kick your lung! I've always been the one bullying others; no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of me."

The dragon horse let out a dragon's roar, performed the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps, tilted its body and stared at them, just like a person executing a technique.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by tragic screams, the three were trampled, their bodies shattered, almost becoming a puddle of flesh, soft and limp, bones turned to dregs! "Overestimating your strength, you can only be defeated under my feet!"

Afterwards, the dragon horse and the Black Emperor exchanged a smile, rubbed their palms and went forward, leaving the three lying flat, not even a trace of the immortal platform left.

They took everything they liked, not even leaving a hair! In this regard, these two top-notch ones are professionals.

"Cross the ancient road? How come I didn't think of that."

Yang Zhu searched their primordial spirits and learned they had come via the cross-domain ancient road to hunt human prodigies, but he didn't expect to encounter his own group as soon as they arrived.

As everyone knows, the starry ancient road is not just one; according to different races, it is divided into the human ancient road, the demon ancient road, the god ancient road, and so on.

These ancient roads are actually a single training path; although their starting points and routes through star fields differ, they ultimately converge at a point.

That is the ultimate trial path.

According to customary rules, each will choose their own race's ancient road; if they step onto another race's ancient road, they are likely to invite great trouble.

For example, if humans step onto the demon ancient road, they are likely to be besieged and killed by all demon trial-takers; likewise, demons coming to the human ancient road face the same.

Therefore those three concealed their aura, so as not to be detected by human guides and other strong beings; otherwise they would likely be struck down.

"Let's go, let's check out another ancient road."

Yang Zhu immediately decided to cross over to another ancient road; after all, it's all for training, what does it matter if the whole world is against us?

Moreover, this exactly matches his wish!

"Haha, wage war on other ancient roads!"

Upon hearing that, the big black dog trembled with excitement; the human imperial prince has arrived, I wonder if those guys can withstand it? The starlight avenue unfolds, reaching straight to the heavens, as if connecting to the edge of the universe, dazzling and eye-catching! Yang Zhu showed no restraint, stepping onto the demon ancient road in one stride, like an immortal deity patrolling, his might overwhelming the nine heavens and ten earths.

"That... is a human? How arrogant, daring to come so ostentatiously to our demon ancient road; he will surely be torn to pieces!"

In an instant, clouds stirred in all directions; the demon prodigies on the ancient road were startled, upon seeing the comer their killing intent rose, and immediately many attacked forward.

Not far from here is an important city on the demon ancient road, where many trainees gather, at least several hundred! "Boom!"

In the next moment, various killing moves emerged, secret arts and Shen Gong displayed fully, terrifying power, all attacking Yang Zhu! "Pfft!"

Yang Zhu stood outside the realm, looking down at the demon prodigies below; a divine light slid from his fingertip, chaos entwined, the power of time surged, forbidden symbols poured down like a vast ocean.

Those terrifying killing moves, upon contact with the divine light, were all dissolved, turning into a rain of light that dissipated, unable to harm Yang Zhu in the slightest.

"Boom—!"

He stepped down from the heights, wielding invincible fist intent; countless stars fell, attaching to his fist peak, sweeping everything! "Pfft..."

Gorgeous blood blossoms appeared; over a dozen prodigies couldn't even utter a sound before being killed in one strike, without exception, all were saints! "Come at me all together."

Yang Zhu's motion did not diminish; he killed into the crowd, each strike taking several prodigies' lives, with no power to resist.

Among them, there were also some outstanding beings who could exchange a few moves with Yang Zhu, but ultimately they were still strong, yet he killed them.

They all came from a certain star field, being the top-notch elites there, incredibly dazzling existences.

But now they face Yang Zhu, who possesses the primordial first physique and the bloodline of a great emperor, comparable to an invincible myth.

Therefore, no matter how stunning that group had been before, before Yang Zhu they were still unable to withstand a single blow, only able to serve as a foil for this era.

"Kill!"

The Black Emperor and the dragon horse were not idle either; they also slaughtered in all directions, fully displaying their fists and feet, killing to madness! Half an hour later, all the demon forces that had attacked were completely slain, numbering up to a hundred, their blood staining the ancient road red.

As for those who had not acted and merely watched from the sidelines, Yang Zhu paid them no heed, taking the big black dog and others to cross deeper into the ancient road.

"The human imperial prince has come! Irresistible!"

The demon ancient road trembled; the news of Yang Zhu's arrival spread instantly, startling many supreme beings.

Since ancient times, there have always been extraordinarily talented individuals who cross over to other ancient roads to wage war; this is nothing surprising.

Without exception, such people are incredibly stunning existences, of course with the premise that they can successfully sweep all the way! "Hahaha, how many years have passed with no one having such courage and talent; I'd like to learn a thing or two!"

Many demon trainees were extraordinarily excited, setting out that day toward Yang Zhu's direction, wanting to measure themselves! Those who can tread this road, who would admit weakness to others? Now Yang Zhu's arrival has instead aroused interest among many prodigies.

"How is that possible? That person is too strong; even his bones were killed by three moves!"

"A descendant of the great demon god from the god-demon ancient land, who has reached the saint king level for over ten years, also lost..."

But what no one expected was that Yang Zhu was too strong, sweeping all the way with no opponent; the elite demon prodigies were defeated one after another at his hands.

Moreover, the battle was decided in just a few rounds, completely a crushing posture! "I seem to have seen a young emperor rising..."

Finally, Yang Zhu struck fear into everyone, so that no one dared to be arrogant anymore, all were deeply awed by his strength.

In one year, Yang Zhu almost swept the demon ancient road, leaving behind an indelible legend.

Afterwards, he departed, returning to the human ancient road; it's not that he didn't want to continue to other ancient roads.

But rather, he wanted to first settle that fellow Di Tian before that.

The human's thirtieth gate is many times more magnificent than the twentieth gate, grand and magnificent, like a colossal being from the depths of the universe.

"The chaotic holy fetus has arrived!"

Half a month later, the thirtieth gate was no longer peaceful; it instantly exploded.

Yang Zhu was about to arrive, causing the whole city to tremble; the news of his earlier sweep of the demon ancient road with no opponent had long been transmitted back and forth, once causing a great uproar.

"Has he finally arrived..."

That day, Di Tian, who had been in seclusion in a nearby ancient site, awoke; his expression was solemn, yet deep in his eyes lay an irrepressible excitement.

This battle, he had waited a year; now it was time to decide who was stronger.

"Boom—!"

He moved, like a demon god emerging, causing stars to roar and the void to explode; he strode forth into the outer realm, returning to the thirtieth gate, silently awaiting Yang Zhu's arrival.

"Although Di Tian is strong, facing Brother Yang Zhu, the outcome is already sealed."

Ye Fan also arrived here, and together with Yu Xian and the other heavenly pride's children, they sat quietly at a tranquil tea house, and leisurely spoke.

Not wanting too much ink, we'll pick up the pace from now on (end of chapter).
