Chapter 64: Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

A pair of deep, tranquil eyes hovered like two suns in the upper void!

In an instant, the whole heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded by the might of those two gigantic eyes.

Heaven and earth lost their color, and time and space seemed to freeze.

To those who stand above heaven and earth, that pair of suddenly descended gigantic eyes is no different from a deity!

"What is this?"

Wang Cang, who had been about to deliver a lethal strike to Xiao Jue, saw his own five-colored radiant attack vanish in an instant, and his heart shuddered.

At the same time, he also noticed the changes in the surrounding heaven and earth.

It seemed as if everything had lost its color, becoming bland and tasteless!

Only a pair of deep, tranquil eyes, like a deity's, gazed down from above upon all beings in this heaven and earth, as if looking upon a swarm of ants!

"Just what kind of terrifying existence is this?!"

"Could it be an original inhabitant of the Immortal Path?!"

Wang Cang's heart and soul trembled.

He had roamed the myriad heavens for so many years, yet he had never seen such a terrifying existence!

Even though he was a Ninefold Emperor Realm, before those eyes hovering in the upper void, he felt as insignificant as a tiny ant!

"Why would such a terrifying existence suddenly appear? Did we accidentally intrude on his territory?"

Wang Cang's mind raced wildly as he solemnly lifted his gaze to stare up at those enormous, pitch-black eyes!

He dared not move at all, as if he had completely forgotten Xiao Jue over there!

"How... do I feel like those eyes are looking at me?!"

As that thought arose, Wang Cang held his breath in an instant, his whole body feeling as if he had plunged into an ice cave!!

"It shouldn't be; perhaps it's just because those eyes are so huge that they give me the illusion that he's looking at me!"

"He definitely isn't looking at me..."

Wang Cang's heart pounded wildly, yet he grew increasingly uneasy about what was happening!

"He really isn't looking at me, is he?"

"Just now, when he said 'enough,' was he speaking to me?"

"Impossible, impossible!"

"How could someone like me, a mere ant, attract the attention of such an existence..."

At that very moment, Wang Cang genuinely felt that those eyes were truly gazing upon him!

In an instant, Wang Cang's surroundings turned completely dim!

"Where am I?"

Wang Cang's heart leapt with alarm; he looked around and saw only endless darkness!

And his whole body seemed to be continuously falling in that endless darkness!

In just a moment, Wang Cang felt as if he had spent millions of years in that darkness……

His body solidified, his blood solidified, his heart solidified……his consciousness slowly drained!

Wang Cang passed away peacefully……

From Xiao Jue's perspective, at the moment Wang Cang looked up at those eyes in the upper void.

He then became dazed, lost all vitality, and fell from the air!

Beside Wang Cang, the scar-faced emperor who had been blasted down to half a body also met the same fate.

At the very instant those eyes appeared above, the scar-faced emperor seemed to have his soul ripped away, and he fell lifelessly from the air!

This scene was too eerie!

Seeing this made Xiao Jue's heart creep with fear!

"Could this be a strange spirit of the Immortal Path? Have we intruded on its territory?"

Xiao Jue silently thought to himself, he tightly gripped the positioning talisman given to him by Li Zhangsheng!

"No, why are they both dead while I'm completely unharmed?"

"Moreover, this space seems to have been frozen, yet I can still move freely!"

"How strange—what on earth is going on?"

While pondering, Xiao Jue curiously lifted his head to gaze at those enormous eyes in the void, tightly clutching that positioning talisman!

If anything unexpected happens, just crush the positioning talisman to summon the Sect Master!

"Just now, at the instant those eyes appeared, it seemed to say 'Enough,' and then that emperor's attack on me vanished."

"What a coincidence!"

"Could it be that the original inhabitants of the Immortal Path, seeing my extraordinary talent, are reluctant to let me fall and thus intervene to stop it?"

Just as Xiao Jue muttered to himself, a voice sounded in his ear:

"Take back the talisman, it's me!"

"Find a place, quickly refine the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit, and break through to Emperor Realm!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Jue's face lit up with delight: "It's the Sect Master, no wonder—I had thought it was a great expert of the Immortal Path's original inhabitants; you scared me to death."

"Sect Master, when did your eyes get so big?"

"How come I've never seen you use this sect's divine ability before?"

Xiao Jue gazed curiously at those eyes above; at first he felt they were somewhat familiar!

It turns out to be our own Sect Master!

In that moment, Xiao Jue felt completely safe inside!

With the Sect Master constantly watching over him, what does he have to fear in the Immortal Path?

Just a trick you recently learned, go break through to Emperor Realm; after you break through to Emperor Realm, as long as your opponent isn't three realms above you, I won't intervene!

Don't think that with me around you can relax!

Li Zhangsheng's indifferent voice once again transmitted into Xiao Jue's ears.

Yes, Sect Master.

I'll go break through to Emperor Realm right now!

Xiao Jue nodded with a grin.

Once he becomes an Emperor Realm expert, with his own strength, he naturally won't need the Sect Master's constant protection!

Soon, the pair of gigantic eyes in the void above disappeared.

Looking at the Sect Master's appearance, it seems he has cleared the Immortal Path?

After watching those eyes disappear, Xiao Jue muttered to himself.

Immediately he rushed toward a tall mountain, casually created a cave abode, Xiao Jue sat cross-legged inside, and took out that Emperor Realm Dao Fruit.

Break through, break through!

Xiao Jue rubbed his hands, finally having awaited this day.

When I killed that youth with the Ancient Hegemon Body earlier, I felt an indescribable Dao power surge into my body!

It seems the Ancient Sacred Body and Ancient Hegemon Body are truly fated enemies; killing the opponent allows one to better prove the Dao!

With the experience points from that Ancient Hegemon Body, plus the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit, breaking through to Emperor Realm should be certain.

Thinking so, Xiao Jue began refining the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit.

A gentle Dao rhythm power flowed from the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit into Xiao Jue's body!

Xiao Jue closed his eyes, activating the Ancient Sacred Body's qi and blood to absorb that mysterious power.

……

Meanwhile, Li Zhangsheng was currently lying lazily on a flattened stone atop a lofty mountain, with a fire burning beside him.

On the fire was roasting a phoenix leg, sizzling and emitting a fragrant, scorched aroma!

Earlier, when Li Zhangsheng passed through this place, there was a phoenix that, without reason, wanted to open its mouth and eat him.

As a result, that phoenix had its head crushed by a single finger of Li Zhangsheng, and was then made into a side dish for drinks.

Li Zhangsheng cut a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly: 'The phoenix meat on the Immortal Path is truly extraordinary; eating it tastes far better than the dragon meat raised by the Jiang Clan.'

Speaking, Li Zhangsheng took a leisurely sip of wine!

Not far from him, a realm was erupting in a great melee!

Luo Qingxue was in the midst of that great melee.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Li Zhangsheng withdrew his divine sense, and his divine sense heard these four words!

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths do not belong to the Ten Thousand Worlds; rather, they are a realm just like the Ten Thousand Worlds.

"It seems that in the Lower Realm, not only people from the Ten Thousand Worlds enter this Immortal Path." Li Zhangsheng murmured.
