Chapter 239

In the vast desert, on the magnificently grand Path to Immortality forged by the Immortal Source Scroll's yellow sand, countless cultivators are still gritting their teeth against the pressure, pressing forward.

Damn it! Don't yank me! Even if you yank, don't yank that—it'll break!

Ah! This pressure is so strong! It's almost impossible to move an inch!

Pfft! Boom!

One batch after another of cultivators unable to withstand the pressure spat blood on the spot, with a boom! They fell to the ground.

At the summit of the Path to Immortality, several dust‑free figures stood with hands behind their backs, leisurely looking down; they all wore a set of bright‑fire‑colored robes.

Whenever I see these people, this immortal feels a myriad of emotions.

Yeah, not long ago we too were striving hard to seek the path of immortality—alas, it feels like ages ago.

Just wait; at most another half day and the first person to reach the summit will appear.

Huh? Look at that white‑clad youth—his stepping speed is incredible! Could something happen…

Heh, rest assured—no matter what, this time the first to reach the summit will definitely not be him.

At this moment, on the Path to Immortality.

A handsome youth in white robes, Li Yin, was striving to catch up at an extremely fast speed.

The immense pressure exerted on him by the Path to Immortality could not slow his steps in the slightest.

No one can stop me!

Hold on a little longer! Endure a bit more—we're almost there!

Li Yin's handsome face was twisted by the pressure, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes blood‑red.

He kept cheering himself up in his heart!

He has made it this far solely on a single conviction in his heart.

Many cultivators have already noticed him—just a white‑clad figure flashing past, constantly overtaking those beside him.

Holy cow! What kind of genius is this guy, so fierce!

I don't know! He's amazing! He has a chance to reach the summit—maybe he could even challenge the first to reach it.

By then, not only will there be rich rewards, but he could become the Immortal Lord's closed‑door disciple—how enviable!

Cultivators on the Path to Immortality and in the vast desert exclaimed in surprise.

Many unlucky ones were shocked by that white‑clad figure; a momentary lapse of focus sent them tumbling from the Path to Immortality.

After scrambling up, each pointed upward with angry faces, spewing vulgarities.

Brother Li, are you on drugs? You're incredibly fierce!

Looks like Brother Li has a good chance to reach the summit!

Go, Brother Li!

A chubby youth in white below the Path to Immortality shouted loudly; lacking stamina, he fell from the Ascension Platform after not lasting long.

Facing the crowd of cultivators around him spewing vulgarities, he felt only contempt.

He himself was mentally unstable, easily swayed by outside influences, yet he blamed Brother Li?

Although this young master is no good either, he admits he's a good‑for‑nothing…

At the other end of the vast desert, above the void.

Look at that white‑clad youth! His cultivation is pathetically weak, yet his speed is astonishing—could he be the person the elder is seeking?

Very likely! Hurry and report to Elder Purple!

It's a shame the immortal dao rules on the Path to Immortality are too overpowering; we can't easily approach!

Ah! Give this immortal a moment—once I lock onto him, my Heavenly Secrets Immortal Dao can permeate the Path's immortal dao rules and investigate him!

…

Soon after.

At the border of the Cangyuan Immortal Isle, above the firmament, a hazy figure flashed at extreme speed.

A powerful immortal aura burst forth, shaking heaven and earth here; in an instant, the surrounding billions of billions of miles trembled.

The Flaming Fire Immortal Dynasty, the Great Desert Immortal City, the Path to Immortality!

Time flowed on, and a pitch‑black night fell.

Yet outside the Great Desert Immortal City, it was still as bright as daytime, immortal light shining brightly.

The grand‑scale Path to Immortality continued.

Moreover, this place was still under the attention of the entire immortal realm.

There were those who hoped their own children would reach the summit.

And there were those who awaited to see who would become the first to reach the summit.

After all, that person would become the Immortal Lord's closed‑door disciple; getting on good terms with him would send one's own fortunes soaring.

At this moment, on the Path to Immortality, the most intense moment had arrived.

Dozens of figures had far outpaced the cultivators behind them; the summit was no longer far off—one could say they were about to reach it.

But the closer they got, the greater the pressure they faced, and with many unstable factors, this was also the most perilous moment.

We're almost there! I, Li Yin, am about to reach the summit!

Li Yin lifted his head, saw the road ahead wasn't far, and gritted his teeth to speed up again.

At the same time, he remained vigilant, using the corner of his eye to watch those around him, lest he be ambushed.

Now, at this final critical juncture, the darker side of human nature will surface—caution is essential!

As he expected, before he could take a few more steps, a black‑robed man gave a glance, and four figures appeared before him, blocking his way.

Kid, you look quite unfamiliar—you're probably not from the Great Desert Immortal City, right?

Brother Lang Dao, you see his shabby appearance—he must be from some backwater place, haha!

"Still hoping to rely on the Path to Immortality to defy fate and change destiny? Dream on, haha!"

Li Yin saw the situation and thought, "Not good." These people are clearly in league with the black-robed man from just now up ahead; they came specifically to target him.

But this doesn't break the rules of the Path to Immortality—everything depends on one's ability. If you can't even pass this bit of hardship, what's there to talk about achieving the Dao and ascending to immortality?

All out!

Li Yin's eyes hardened, and he surged forward with all his strength.

This is the Path to Immortality, where cultivation is suppressed by the rules—he fears nothing! No one can hope to stop him!

"Yo, still dare to resist? Not bad, you've got some backbone—seize him!"

Four figures instantly turned and rushed down toward Li Yin below.

Seeing this, Li Yin immediately threw a punch with all his might.

Boom!

A loud bang accompanied by the sound of breaking bones rang out, and a figure was blasted away.

Although my talent is inferior to yours, in sheer physical strength you're not even worthy to carry my shoes.

Li Yin's eyes turned fierce as he glared at the three remaining ahead and said.

He had been discovered to have no talent since the age of eight, yet he did not give up on himself.

Fueled by his yearning for the Immortal Dao, he relentlessly tempered his physical body with extreme methods, day after day for twelve years without pause.

Moreover, he threw tens of thousands of punches each day.

With twelve years of power behind this punch, how could they possibly withstand it?

Without further delay, Li Yin leapt forward and unleashed three punches in succession before the terrified eyes of the three ahead.

Boom boom boom!

The Young Master won't let you off! You wait!

As the three who blocked the road were blasted away, they still spat out harsh words, but Li Yin turned a deaf ear, taking none of it to heart.

After dealing with those who blocked the way, Li Yin dared not delay, desperately continuing his charge toward the summit of the Path to Immortality.

Young Master, is that so? Wait till I reach the peak of the Immortal Path—let's see what you, the Young Master, can do to me.
