Chapter 115: Star Sky Ancient Road Gathers Heroes
The waves in the Eternal Star Domain stirred up no small commotion.
But this was ultimately just a minor episode in Wu Shi's journey of trials.
Compared to the vast boundlessness of the whole Great Universe, the Eternal Star Domain was, after all, merely a tiny domain.
And even more turbulent was this life's Star Sky Ancient Road.
In the current world, it could truly be called heroes rising together, Heaven's Pride emerging in droves.
Among them were no lack of Quasi-Emperor level experts, each and every one possessing formidable strength.
Every single one of them had fought their way to illustrious ferocity, killing their way out from their own Star Domain, suppressing dozens or hundreds of Star Domains with no equal!
This is a scene rarely seen since ancient times!
Even though the universe is vast and boundless, Quasi-Emperor level experts are not so easily born.
Throughout the myriad ages, countless eras have existed, yet the whole Great Universe has had only a few Quasi-Emperors, truly deserving the name End of Dharma Era.
Where is there anything like the present, where multiple terrifying Quasi-Emperors who crown hundreds of Star Domains have surged forth!
The present can completely be called a Golden Prosperous Era!
Of course.
This is related to the fact that the Luan Gu Great Emperor's Dao Marks dissipated ten thousand loads ago, and the Great Accomplishment Holy Body disappeared from the world thousands of years ago.
In former years, several peerless Heaven's Pride who avoided the Luan Gu Great Emperor by self-sealing in Divine Sources have now chosen to break their seals and emerge, wishing to contend for a lifetime's Imperial Mandate!
Or perhaps it is that the Heaven and Earth Great Dao has some premonition.
After this life, a certain peerless Emperor unprecedented in past and future will exhaust all the Cosmos's Luck, and the whole Heaven and Earth will undergo a great change...
Therefore.
This era's Spiritual Qi has greatly opened, allowing numerous cultivators to freely comprehend the Great Dao and perceive the ultimate principles of all things.
Among them, those of supreme talent, since stepping onto the path of cultivation, have performed no less impressively than the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors in their youth.
And there are also those with great opportunities and great fortune, who obtained rare Imperial Ancient Scriptures, using them as reference to create their own secret arts.
In this life, I shall become a generation's Great Emperor!
This is the heartfelt voice of numerous Heaven's Pride, and they absolutely believe themselves to possess this strength!
Among them, the stunning ones are not few; their fame resounds through the many Star Sky Ancient Roads including the Human Race, Demon Race, Holy Spirit, and so on.
Someone once listed a Proud Sons of Heaven Chart; they are all this life's aspirants to the Imperial Road.
The Ancient Demon Quasi-Emperor, said to possess the Ancient Demon True Body, comes from the mysterious Ancient Demon Clan in the universe; his talent is peerless, his bloodline powerful.
The Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor; that clan takes 'Divine' as its name, showing its strength; among them the outstanding ones are not lacking those who can contend with Ancient Emperor Sons!
There is a mysterious Quasi-Emperor, said to be of Immortal Realm Bloodline, bravest under heaven, with limitless potential.
There are also suspected Ancient Emperor descendants appearing in this life to undergo Red Dust trials; even if they ultimately fail to become Emperors, they can still witness this magnificent prosperous age.
Of course, there are also the Bright Clan, Sun Divine Sect Quasi-Emperors, and so on; too many to enumerate.
And even more worth mentioning.
There are the so-called "Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation"!
They are eight Quasi-Emperors of astonishing strength, advancing and retreating together, sweeping all before them.
Obviously, this is in imitation of the Luan Tian Seven Heroes of the Luan Gu years.
This cannot be called a good reputation; some even secretly call them "Eight Demons from Beyond Heaven".
But the benefits of doing so are also very obvious.
Just like the Luan Tian Seven Heroes of old, these eight advance and retreat together, seizing by force and cunning, roaming the Star Universe; who knows how many peerless Ancient Scriptures, Divine Source Supreme Treasures, etc. they have forcibly taken.
Opportunities seized are also opportunities.
These eight were originally of world-shaking talent; under such "smooth sailing" circumstances, they also advanced to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Settle internal matters before external ones; this is the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation's code of conduct.
First resolve all external enemies on the Imperial Road, sweep the starry sky.
Wait until the final Great Emperor Fruit Position belongs to someone, then see which of the eight brothers is higher and which lower.
And even if they fail on the Imperial Road, they would still be the Strongest Divine Generals under the Current Era Great Emperor!
One must admit, this is a very clever and practical method, learned from the Luan Tian Seven Heroes, yet surpassing them.
This is a feasible approach.
But it is also not easy to realize; one must be able to find such "like-minded comrades" as Dao Friends, and trust each other.
And the Great Emperor Road is mostly walked alone.
The vast majority of the time, cultivators who step onto the Star Sky Ancient Road are self-confidence invincible, unwilling to walk this path of vertical and horizontal alliances.
Over the years, the Star Sky Ancient Road has seen wind and clouds surging, battle clouds dense.
News came.
The Ancient Demon Quasi-Emperor displayed the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, transforming into a Peerless Heavenly Demon.
In a single night he defeated two Quasi-Emperor level Fierce Beasts on the Ancient Beast Starry Road, swallowing clean their flesh bodies and weapons along with their opponents, converting them for his own use.
There was also a Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor who acted on the Human Race Ancient Road; with one person's power he opposed three of the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation without falling behind, even blasting apart dozens of stars, and finally departed; neither side gained any advantage.
This is a shocking battle record.
The first time someone has retreated unscathed from the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation's joint siege, even giving them no small trouble.
As for the Quasi-Emperor said to be of Immortal Realm Bloodline, and that Ancient Emperor Son, the moment they appeared they deterred all heroes.
The two were incomparably arrogant, regarding others as nothing, or as slaves.
But they indeed possess world-covering Quasi-Emperor Aura, and Divine Halos coil around their bodies; relying on just a strand of that peerless ferocious might's pressure, they directly shocked to death one who spoke in rebuttal.
Such figures, perhaps only the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation arriving together could possibly withstand their sharp edge?
The world speculates, or perhaps anticipates a situation of mutual destruction appearing; after all, they are all equally arrogant and domineering existences.
Only a pity that this situation did not happen.
"Could the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation be afraid of them?"
Someone speculated.
"How could that be?" Someone nearby immediately scoffed.
"It should be that they don't want to confront the existence behind them too early." Someone else offered a speculation, coming close to the truth.
……
The ten thousand races of the universe, though named ten thousand, actually far exceed this number.
Therefore, the Star Sky Ancient Roads are also extremely numerous.
But finally, these ancient roads will all converge at the Emperor Pass.
This life is extremely terrifying, simply like a mythical era of old.
Even a Quasi-Emperor of the Sun Divine Sect, a descendant of the Holy Emperor Taiyang of old, yet encountered several peerless great enemies, suffered trauma, his Utmost Yang Utmost Rigid Holy Blood spilled across Xing Kong, it is unknown if he can laugh last.
As for others, they felt this hardship even more.
Stepping onto the Star Sky Ancient Road, fighting all the way, how many heroes were revered on their respective Zujing, yet now wither like fallen leaves, collapsing in pools of blood, burying their bones in foreign lands.
This is a song of sorrow, heartbreaking, yet so helpless.
The autumn wind blows, yellow leaves fall, making one feel the desolation of approaching winter, this is a bleak scene.
There are even more Trial Walkers silently cultivating their bodies, but no longer to contend for supremacy on the Di Jie, only to survive.
"I have decided, to withdraw just like this, taking my younger brother back to our homeland, never again to entertain the delusion of Becoming Dao."
This is a somewhat spirit-wounded handsome young man, holding a Green Jade Vase in his hands, inside it is the Calamity Ash left by his younger brother.
He was originally full of high spirits, but in just a few months, from vigorous and spirited he became extremely weathered, his eyes no longer sharp, somewhat dim, his temples streaked with a few strands of White Frost.
"The person I like fell before me, she was so sorrowful, yet I was powerless to save her, only able to tremble as I lifted her from the pool of blood, watching helplessly as her eyes dimmed, her body grew cold, losing the last glimmer of luster."
Another decadent young man streamed tears with emotion out of control, in pain to the point of being unable to restrain himself.
They were not without having been powerful, once having the glory of invincibility in a domain, but here it counts for nothing, being ruthlessly trampled by others.
Even the enemy who killed their loved ones has no possibility of retaliation.
Only because the enemy is too powerful, they are the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation, they are Ancient Emperor heirs...
A little carelessness, and it would implicate the sects they came from, even the entire planet might collapse!
……
Of course.
Still, there are many who, despite receiving all kinds of setbacks, still want to continue walking on.
Even if possible, to walk to that last city of the Emperor Pass.
Only to witness the peerless bearing of this life's strongest Heaven's Pride!
The so-called Stone from Another Mountain can Attack Jade.
For them, this is also a beneficial experience, perhaps surpassing hundreds or thousands of years of solitary bitter cultivation.
On this day.
A shocking piece of news spread through Xing Kong.
The Ancient Demon Quasi-Emperor and the Divine Race Quasi-Emperor dueled in the depths of Xing Hai, both shedding true blood, finally neither could do anything to the other, Mutual Destruction.
A battle of this level is rare even in thousands of years, its power affecting several Xing Xing, unknown how many great stars shattered into dust.
Unknown how many people beat their chests and sighed, hating that they did not rush to the Zhan Chang Wai Wei to personally witness this battle.
However.
Yet there was an old cultivator who used Nine Heavens Divine Crystals to imprint the record of that Quasi-Emperor battle, selling it in the cities of the various ancient roads.
His eyelashes were all bald, and his cultivation level could not be discerned, at least above Sage.
"Old man, isn't this too expensive? You're ripping people off!"
A beautiful female cultivator complained, very dissatisfied with the old man's sky-high asking price.
"Expensive? This Divine Crystal of mine is worth quite a lot." The old cultivator named Lu Ren showed no pity for the fairer sex, not giving an inch.
Finally, the female cultivator cursed as she took out Divine Source, buying this imprint.
Around them, powerful cultivators coveted the old cultivator, thinking to rob him in Xing Kong outside the city.
And the result was no surprise, the old cultivator's realm was not low, and his methods were frequent, instead he cleaned out that person, leaving only a pair of Underwear.
……
Those who enter the Star Sky Ancient Road generally will eventually come to the Emperor Pass.
Since ancient times, many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors have come one after another to the final pass, leaving behind their own Dao Imprints.
Of course.
It is not said that whoever finally walks to the end and suppresses all heroes will definitely Prove the Dao Become Emperor.
Far from that simple, that requires Great Opportunities and Great Fortunes far beyond this.
But basically, many Emperor-level Experts have walked such a road.
Including Gu Xuan, before his Saint Body Great Perfection, it was also so.
And after Wu Shi left the Eternal Star Domain, after dozens of years, he also stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
He also finally came to the Emperor Pass.
Emperor Pass Fifty Cities.
This is an ancient city with a grand and vigorous aura, very extraordinary.
Inside, array patterns are densely spread, it is said there are array patterns laid by a supreme of old, firm and immortal.
"It's him... the Holy Body from Burial Emperor Star!"
Wu Shi, clad in white, had just stepped into this city when he stirred up a commotion; many people cast sidelong glances, staring at him without pause.
His Qi mechanism was remarkably strange and unique; even with Divine Rules encircling his body, he was still that eye-catching.
Of course, if he deliberately used the Deceiving Heaven Array Pattern to conceal himself, he could naturally avoid this sort of situation; it was merely unnecessary.
He paid them no heed, instead going to the highest wine tower in the city, drinking alone while sensing the layers upon layers of Dao Marks of this Imperial City.
In the eyes of others.
Wu Shi seemed to be quietly enjoying this tranquility, yet also seemed to be waiting for something.
In fact, it was indeed so.
Several days ago, on the Star Sky Ancient Road, he saw two Ancient Race experts burning, killing, looting, and plundering, whereupon he acted and suppressed and killed them.
Before they died, the two Ancient Race experts threatened that they were subordinates of the strongest Quasi-Emperor under the starry sky, that Ancient Emperor's descendant; killing them would surely bring death upon him.
However it was of no use either; Wu Shi ignored them all the same, still pointing out a finger.
And naturally, the storm is coming.
That suspected Ancient Emperor descendant, the supreme Quasi-Emperor, sent word that he would meet this Holy Body from the Burial Emperor Star.
In fact.
Even if Wu Shi had not acted to kill those two, he would sooner or later run into the various Quasi-Emperors; it was merely a matter of time.
Because over these years, his reputation had long since risen sharply, his name shaking many a Star Sky Ancient Road.
Who knows how many rumors spread.
There is a white-clad Holy Body from the Burial Emperor Star, who suppressed three thousand enemies, always with a sweeping momentum, absolutely a powerful contender on this life's Emperor Road!
Such a figure is like an awl in a bag.
Be it the Ancient Demon True Body, or the Divine Race Quasi-Emperors, even the Immortal Realm Bloodline Quasi-Emperors, Ancient Emperor's sons, the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation and other supreme existences — all have already regarded Wu Shi as a thorn in the eye.
"You are Wu Shi?"
Along with a terrifying Qi mechanism, a man covered in golden scales, with towering horns, arrived at the Emperor Pass Fifty Cities, and headed straight for Wu Shi on the wine tower.
This person's aura was awe-inspiring; wherever he passed, the city's cultivators retreated incomparably, hearts trembling with fear, feeling this terrifying Quasi-Emperor pressure.
In fact.
He had even slightly restrained himself.
Quasi-Emperor — tainted with the word "Emperor" — his life tier is already an essential difference, forming a dragon-crushing-ants-like suppression against these cultivators in the city.
It is only because this is within the Emperor Pass cities, subject to a certain tacit Rule and a certain Great Dao Array Pattern's dual Restrictions, that he did not fully display his might.
Otherwise, if it were in the Outside World, merely a single strand of Qi mechanism leaking out could suppress and kill countless cultivators!
"This... is that legendary Ancient Emperor descendant?"
In the crowd, a cultivator whispered secretly, recognizing this existence; other voices were lowered to the absolute minimum, fearing to startle him and invite some inexplicable calamity.
And by comparison.
Wu Shi, though also famous in one region, rumored to likewise be a Quasi-Emperor, had restrained his Qi mechanism, not so aggressively pressing; like a white-clad Immortal, carefree and elegant.
"Correct, it is I."
Facing this inquiry laced with killing intent, Wu Shi was composed to a terrifying degree.
This scene made all onlookers in the city feel their hearts tremble, and the others in the wine tower had long since retreated, unable to bear that killing intent which seemed to seep into the bone marrow.
"Killing my nephew, blood repayment is a must."
The Ancient Emperor's son Quasi-Emperor, or rather the Golden Scale Quasi-Emperor, spoke with a gloomy cold voice, like a demonic sound transmitted from the nine abysses, incomparably icy.
This is a pretext for a battle.
Truth be told, even without this pretext, the Golden Scale Quasi-Emperor would sooner or later have to meet this Holy Body from the Burial Emperor Star, Wu Shi.
And Wu Shi obviously deeply knows this point as well.
And what sort of existences these so-called Ancient Emperor descendants are, from his two subordinates one can sufficiently know.
And having reached Wu Shi's current realm, he has long since understood clearly what those Ancient Emperors in the Forbidden Zones are like.
Looking askance at all things in the Outside World, regarding all living beings as blood food.
The so-called 'superiors act, inferiors follow'; their descendants' conduct style is thus not hard to understand.
"No need for many words, a battle outside the domain." Wu Shi was concise and to the point.
This scene shook the entire Emperor Pass Fifty Cities.
The Ancient Emperor's son Quasi-Emperor's own strength already surpasses all heroes; his background is even more unfathomable; even the arrogant Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation seem to have some apprehension.
And Wu Shi, yet remains unafraid, wanting to duel him?
