Chapter 326: Supreme and Undying, Charging Into the Immortal Path

A roar!

East Wasteland Northern Territory, the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Here, immortal light fluttered, the endless chaotic star river cascaded down, a heaven-shaking aura spread, shocking the heavens.

Accompanied by a world-shocking roar, a purple qilin was born, enormous beyond compare, spanning who knows how many star fields.

The qilin's body was pure purple-gold, its scales bristling like forged immortal gold, flashing with blue-purple light, as if draped in a layer of immortal radiance.

It stood towering beneath the brilliant starry sky, a heaven-shaking pressure descending, supremely powerful, shocking all realms, crushing all things in heaven and earth!

Staff, come!

With a burst of shout, heaven and earth seemed about to explode, an extreme brilliant blue light came from the depths of the universe, sweeping across.

That was a dazzling purple-gold divine staff, its whole body emitting a dazzling blue light, forged from the Rongheng blue gold among the nine great immortal metals, its power unimaginable!

This is absolutely an imperial weapon! At this moment it safely recovered, causing the whole Big Dipper to tremble, almost on the verge of collapsing.

That is… the supreme ancient emperor's weapon of the Fire Qilin Cave, the Qilin Staff!

My god, how could the Qilin Ancient Emperor still be alive? Millions of years have passed since his era…

People recognized that divine weapon, exclamations endless; in other words, that supremely powerful qilin is very likely the Qilin Ancient Emperor?! All under heaven were shocked!

The qilin's body burst forth with brilliant divine light, pressing down from the sky; in the next moment, the enormous qilin transformed into a middle-aged man.

That was a divine and majestic figure, overwhelming the nine heavens, with a thick mane of hair flowing down, looking down upon the mortal world, gazing over the three thousand great worlds!

Father!

Just then, a graceful figure could no longer hold back, voice trembling with tears, she rushed forward without hesitation.

Fire Qilin Child both wept and laughed, her blue hair flowing with a dreamy halo, tears on her face, she came madly to the middle-aged man's side.

This ancient emperor's bloodline, together with his brother, had been sealed in dust for millions of years; everyone thought their father had long since passed away, but now meeting here, that excitement is beyond what ordinary people can feel!

Our clan's ancient emperor!

The patriarch of the Fire Qilin Cave exclaimed, his body trembling, tears unstoppably falling, facing the direction of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, they all bowed down in worship.

This powerful royal lineage, after millions of years, seeing this ancient emperor again, the shock in their hearts is unimaginable! 'Father…'

Fire Qilin Child flung herself into the Qilin Ancient Emperor's embrace, her body trembling; she knew this might be a true eternal farewell, her heart filled with inexplicable divine sorrow and sadness.

'Qilin Child, don't cry; wait for Father to carve out an immortal cosmos, and bring you all to ascend together.'

What he said naturally referred to Fire Qilin Child and Fire Qilin Son, this brother and sister, his bloodline to this day! At this moment, this ancient emperor of the primordial age, his deep eyes showed affection and indulgence, gently stroking the flesh in his arms.

Although his tone was gentle, it carried an unrivaled domineering aura, awe-inspiring, almost making one want to kneel and worship.

'Father… I'm scared, please take me with you, I don't want to leave you…'

Fire Qilin Child seemed to realize something, and cried even more sorrowfully.

She tightly embraced her father, trying to keep him, or to accompany him; even if the road ahead is endless danger, she would spare nothing!

'Listen, the road ahead is not something you can enter now, and you cannot always stay with me, or else you will be suppressed by my law for life, making enlightenment hopeless.'

The Qilin Ancient Emperor gently stroked Fire Qilin Child's face, his tone soft yet now edged with resolve and domineering aura!

Finally, he gave a gentle push; a mass of blue light enveloped Fire Qilin Child, sending her to the edge of the endless, distant universe, far from this place's turmoil.

Boom—!

Heaven and earth rumbled, an ancient chariot drove out from the Immortal Mausoleum, its wheels rolling, unknown how many star fields it crushed.

Even the Immortal Mausoleum among the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones saw an ancient supreme emerge!

On the ancient chariot, chaotic mist shrouded the place, yet one could faintly see an old Daoist sitting cross-legged.

He wore a purple-gold crown, draped in a mythic-era Daoist robe, exuding an ancient and weathered air, utterly terrifying.

Across the old Daoist's knees lay a dazzling immortal sword, its supreme aura bursting forth, shocking the nine heavens! His eyes were sharp yet calm, gazing straight at the immortal path above the ancient forbidden land; within them burned a fiery sparkle, like jade torches.

Boom…

The chariot swept across the sky, and in an instant it stood before the Immortal Ascension Path, towering there, gazing into the great rift within.

'My god, could this be a celestial venerable from the mythic era?'

The whole world trembled, all sages were startled.

This is undoubtedly an ancient supreme, and very likely one of the Nine Great Celestial Venerables! At the same moment, in the Undying Mountain, a terrifying aura shot up to the heavens, and a being clad head to toe in black armor emerged.

That was a stalwart figure, holding a pitch-black great halberd, dark and menacing, emitting countless threads of killing intent, capable of rending the nine heavens, terrifying beyond bound.

Yet another imperial weapon! And beneath this ancient supreme stood a colossal divine tiger, likewise covered in dense scales, its aura terrifying; even a quasi-emperor present would tremble!

He rode the divine tiger to the extreme, just like the one in the Immortal Mausoleum, instantly arriving before the Immortal Ascension Path, sternly gazing at the entrance where immortal light spewed forth.

Other monarchs of the life forbidden zones also saw ancient supremes emerge; in the end, there were seven immortal figures standing outside the ancient forbidden land.

'All seven are figures of ancient emperor level…'

Never before has an age seen seven emperor-level beings gather together like today! This utterly overturns everyone's cognition—who said an era only produces one emperor-level ancient emperor? How could they all survive to this age? Several supreme beings stand upon this heavens, motionless, yet merely the leakage of a wisp of their aura can shatter the heavens, the universe nearly facing collapse!

The wait of myriad ages has erupted in this era; a terrifying upheaval is about to begin!

'The Immortal Ascension Path has already opened; then let us carve out a bright cosmos!'

An ancient supreme shouted, and everyone moved as one, striking together toward the Immortal Ascension Path.

'The right time, the right place have appeared; charge in!'

The Qilin Ancient Emperor moved first, wielding the Qilin Staff, he charged toward the Immortal Ascension Path, unleashing his strongest assault.

At this moment, the true might of the ancient emperor revived, aweing the ancient blue heavens; that terrifying surge swept across every corner of the universe.

Power enough to destroy worlds surged, yet it did not affect other star fields or the Big Dipper; all of it was directed straight into that great rift.

'Charge in!'

The others also acted; the ancient emperor's might revived with a boom, heaven and earth split, and together they killed their way in.

The seven ancient emperor-level powerhouses joined forces; too terrifying and defiant, nothing could stop them, they would be crushed! 'Boom—'

'Bang…'

Within the huge rift, various laws and light flew and danced, intertwining, piercing the heavens, turning into the most terrifying offensive, striking toward the front of the Immortal Road.

However, at this moment, many figures like demon gods appeared ahead, each absolutely terrifying, blocking the way forward.

"One sword to pacify the universe!" The old Daoist on the ancient chariot struck, the immortal sword on his knee flew out and slashed down; instantly heaven and earth lost color, the Immortal Road collapsed! The immortal sword was too terrifying, like an immortal light of eternity shining through the ages, sweeping across, and who knows how many demon gods instantly turned into blood mist, slain by it.

The phantom demon gods blocking the front of the Immortal Road could not withstand this immortal sword, leaving no corpses or bones.

"The Dao severs the two realms!"

The Qilin Ancient Emperor held the Qilin Staff; as it lightly trembled, it burst forth with blinding divine light, almost severing the mortal and immortal realms in an instant.

He swung down the purple-gold divine spear; with just a single strike, the endless demon god phantoms blocking ahead instantly turned to ash and smoke.

Seeing this, all the saints were horrified; even though far apart, they still trembled with fear.

This is the Ancient Emperor, who rules the heavens, invincible through ages; a casual move can shock all realms, causing submission.

Fortunately, the Big Dipper has many grand formations and Imperial Dao Principles protecting it; otherwise, merely a wisp of divine might overflowing from the Great Rift could tear it apart.

"That immortal sword resembles the legendary figure; could he be the one among the nine great Celestial Venerables!"

"Not bad, that is very likely the Longevity Immortal Sword, the opener of the creator's secret — the Longevity Celestial Venerable!"

All the saints beyond the realm were closely watching this place; when they recognized the supreme identity on the chariot, the world erupted in uproar, utterly shocked.

A figure from the mythic era, who has lived for millions of years, yet hid in the Immortal Mausoleum, reverse-lived to this age.

People were unsettled, hearts trembling; what kind of beings exist in the Life Forbidden Zone? Unimaginable, enough to shock the world! "If this world had no Immortal Road, we would carve a path to that vast Immortal World!"

"The Immortal Road has already opened; even if we fail, we will clear the way for future generations!"

Among the ancient supremes, someone shouted passionately; ahead, immortal qi surged, immortal light endless, as if an irresistible attraction drew them.

"Clinging to life till now is not cowardice, merely unwillingness; one only needs a glance, to see how to become an immortal!"

"I am like a moth flying into flame; on the Immortal Road I hear my funeral song; though I am unwilling, I have no regrets, I prove my own Dao, tread the path to immortality, I still live, pressing forward!"

Other supremes spoke, their tone sorrowful yet generous and ardent, advancing without retreat, they slaughtered forward.

"Within… there is the aura of our Human Race Great Emperor!"

Soon, people's hearts trembled violently; within those few immortal, peerless figures, they felt the aura of the ancient Great Emperor!

This is too extraordinary; not only did the Celestial Venerables and Ancient Emperors of the mythic era survive to this age, but even the Human Race Great Emperor hid in the Life Forbidden Zone and lived to this age.

At this moment, they no longer held back, igniting their life essence, they slaughtered forward.

Several other Ancient Emperors, Celestial Venerables, and Great Emperors were generous and ardent, no matter how perilous the road ahead, even without a return path, they carved out a bright universe for posterity! Yet among them, someone spoke thus.

"What's with doing it for posterity, hiding to this age? I do it for myself!"

An ancient supreme from Undying Mountain, wielding the Desolate Heaven Halberd, his tone cold and grim! (Wushi: "This broken stone is like that.") "I recall now, that black halberd belongs to a Holy Spirit; he is the Stone Emperor!"

Beyond the realm, someone spoke with trembling, recalling the ancient records, they discerned the true identity of the master of Undying Mountain.

The Stone Emperor, from time immemorial, he took over Undying Mountain, turning it into the Life Forbidden Zone.

"Kill!"

The Stone Emperor roared, brandishing the black halberd forward, then swung hard, chopping toward the Majestic Pass before the Immortal Road!

The terrifying aura surged forward; not only on the Immortal Road, but also a dreadful ripple overflowed from the Great Rift.

In just a moment, beyond the realm, who knows how many stars directly exploded, turning into powder, all destroyed by this ripple.

Like a flood beast, it swept across all directions, shattering countless star fields!

Beyond the realm, seeing this, all the saints fled in panic; yet anyone struck by the blast, unable to utter a sound, turned to ash!

"Boom!"

Needless to say, the Stone Emperor is immensely powerful, as a supreme Holy Spirit, his Desolate Heaven Halberd came down heavily, smashing hard into the Majestic Pass ahead.

With a clang, the city gate was struck, instantly cracking open many fissures, teetering on collapse!

Inside the huge city gate, instantly immortal light flew and danced, shining on the faces of the several supremes!

"Boom!"

"Bang…"

At this moment, several others also struck out, various Imperial Dao Principles and Imperial Dao Brands unleashed, attacking that Majestic Pass.

Each of them had once been the master of heaven and earth, invincible above and below, having suppressed an era; now they came together, launching an assault almost unimaginable! In this age, they have no retreat, they must break through the Immortal Road! "Boom—!"

Finally, the majestic Majestic Pass could not withstand the combined force of the several supremes; in a thunderous roar, it collapsed utterly.

In the next instant, various immortal lights shone, immortal qi drifted, a sky-filling rain of light danced, as if the Immortal Realm had truly been opened.

Several supremes, without hesitation, marched straight in, entering the city.

The saints who had constantly watched this place were all shocked at this moment!

"Could it be that in this epoch, the Immortal Road has truly been opened…"

Outside the Immortal Road, many people had tears in their eyes, especially the elderly cultivators; to witness this scene before their impending demise, they had no regrets in this life!

The world shook, people were in an uproar, saying for years, "Does the Immortal Realm truly exist? Do immortals truly exist?"

This is simply unbelievable! The seven ancient supremes joined forces, once masters of the universe, now seemingly mad, launching the fiercest assault; what in this world could still resist? "Where is the road?"

Inside the majestic Majestic Pass, divine brilliance flew and danced, various laws intertwined; finally, the several supremes utterly crushed it, the huge city collapsed with a boom, leveled to flat ground.

But then they discovered there was no road ahead, the Immortal Road was severed! "We hid to this age, could it all come to nothing? We are unwilling!"

"Could becoming an immortal merely be a ten-thousand-year deception? Could it be that this world truly has no immortals?"

Someone felt indignant, their tone filled with endless sorrow; in this age they emerged, having exhausted all means of elevation, they staked their very lives.

Yet now, having broken in, they found the Immortal Road severed—how chilling this is to them!

"Dong…"

Just then, a bell tolled, turning into a rosy light shooting straight up; at the end of the endless void, suddenly a bright light appeared.

The several supremes' bodies trembled, as if sensing an immortal aura, their eyes blazed hot once more.

"The road is not severed; it lies ahead!"

Immediately, they all brandished their Imperial Armaments, piercing through ahead, setting out and rushing over! The Seven Great Supremes acted again; when they arrived at this place, they discovered that ahead was actually a sea.

That sea is the Red Dust, it is the past, it is the future, each person's own experiences……It's too strange.

If they successfully cross over, maybe they can see the hope of becoming an immortal! The prelude to the opening of the Immortal Path proceeds roughly as in the original work; otherwise they wouldn't have that feeling.
