Chapter 478

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since the Immortal Ancient World closed.

During this year, the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain had undergone great changes.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth had suddenly become dense.

Various blessed lands and grottoes were manifesting.

Many old people whose cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck were shocked to find that they had broken through without realizing it.

This change first made people astonished, and then they suddenly reacted.

"Spiritual energy is recovering, all things are awakening; the Emperor Road is about to open!" an elder of a major faction sighed.

In the past, there were two omens before the opening of the Emperor Road.

One was the opening of the Immortal Ancient World.

The other was the recovery of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Of course, this recovery of spiritual energy did not count as a qualitative change, only a quantitative one.

For those powerhouses whose cultivation was already at the pinnacle, it had no great effect.

But for those cultivators below the Supreme Realm, it was of great help.

For young heaven-proud ones with vigorous blood and higher potential, it was of even greater help.

Some said this was a form of feedback from the will of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, intended to allow the younger generation to improve their overall strength so they could head to the Emperor Road to fight for the Mandate of Heaven and thus protect the Immortal Domain.

Against the backdrop of this spiritual energy recovery, the strength of the younger generation of heaven-proud ones also began to skyrocket.

Those Ancient Freaks sleeping in every corner of the Immortal Domain also sensed this change in heaven and earth and awakened one after another.

For a time, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was filled with brilliant stars, as heaven-proud one after another streaked across the firmament like comets.

In the past, among the younger generation, the Heavenly God Realm was almost considered the absolute pinnacle.

But in this environment, many heaven-proud ones with deep foundations began to break through to the Heavenly God Realm.

A very small number of heaven-proud ones even began to break through to the Dao God Realm.

Most of these heaven-proud ones were awakened Ancient Freaks or descendants of ancient powerhouses with extremely strong bloodlines.

Some old people even speculated that in this environment, perhaps in a year or so, monstrous heaven-proud ones at the Quasi-Saint level would appear.

Many people therefore thought of Jun Jun Xiaoyao.

With Jun Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent, if he hadn't fallen in the Bronze Immortal Palace...

In this environment, breaking through to Quasi-Saint would almost be a certainty.

The Jun Clan had remained low-key throughout this year, with no news coming out.

Many people believed that because of Jun Jun Xiaoyao's fall, the Jun Clan was likely to remain depressed for a long time.

As for heaven-proud ones like Jun Jun Mo Xiao and Jun Jun Lingcang, they were also silently training hard, and each of their cultivations had made significant progress.

"I believe that Master will not fall..."

Followers like Yi Yu and Yan Yan Qingying still firmly believed in their hearts that Jun Jun Xiaoyao would return one day.

What was surprising was that after the Immortal Ancient World closed, Princess Long Ji did not return to the Ancestral Dragon Nest, but followed Jun Jun Mulan and the others to the Jun Clan.

This surprised many people very much.

However, upon second thought, Princess Long Ji had already torn off the mask with Long Long Aotian in the Immortal Ancient World.

If she returned to the Ancestral Dragon Nest, it would always feel a bit awkward.

The Azure Dragon lineage of the Ancestral Dragon Nest also wanted Princess Long Ji to return, but she refused.

Princess Long Ji's meaning was that although Jun Jun Xiaoyao had fallen, her promise would not change; otherwise, her Dao Heart would be damaged.

But only a few people, like Jun Jun Mulan, knew.

The agreement between Jun Jun Xiaoyao and Princess Long Ji was limited to the Immortal Ancient World.

Therefore, outsiders could not guess what Princess Long Ji's thoughts actually were.

Time passed, and at a certain moment.

All cultivators in the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain seemed to hear a terrifying loud noise, as if the firmament had shattered.

At this moment, all cultivators raised their heads to look up at the firmament of the Immortal Domain.

This scene did not only appear in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain; the same scene appeared in the other eight Immortal Domains.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone.

A vast ancient road seemed to manifest from the void, extending all the way to the depths of the cosmic starry sky.

That was an incomparably ancient road!

That was a road where heaven-proud ones bled!

That was also a road where one's name would be recorded in history!

The Emperor Road had opened!

Boom!

The next moment, the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain boiled over.

In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, countless heaven-proud ones soared into the sky from every region like crucian carp crossing a river.

Every heaven-proud one had a very powerful aura, far exceeding that before the spiritual energy recovery.

Many ancient warships, flying ancient beasts, and divine mounts all soared into the sky, carrying heaven-proud ones toward the Emperor Road.

The winds and clouds of the world are created by our generation; every heaven-proud one harbored a dream of proving the Dao, their blood hot and passionate, wanting to make a name for themselves on the Emperor Road, to be recorded in history, and to be praised for myriad eras!

Some saw descendants of ancient families that had been hidden for many years appearing.

Some descendants possessing the bloodlines of ancient races appeared.

Even descendants of Primordial Great Fierce Beasts broke out of their shells, their fierce might shaking all directions.

Every single one of them had a heaven-shaking background.

Of course, some famous immortal factions in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain also had descendants appearing, wanting to expand their territory on the Emperor Road.

Some saw a young figure in the depths of Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain riding a fire phoenix into the sky.

"It's an Ancient Freak from Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain; I heard he is a descendant of some Ancient Emperor!"

Over at Ancient Crocodile Lake, astonishing fierce might surged into the sky; a pitch-black giant crocodile soared from the ancient lake, its tail flicking and collapsing a mountain range.

"It's a descendant of the Crocodile Ancestor's lineage..." some creatures of the Primordial races exclaimed.

On top of a mountain peak, a beautiful woman in a treasure-blue peacock dress raised her head to look at the Emperor Road, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"As long as I follow Lord Buddha, why worry about not being able to reach the end of the Emperor Road..." the woman murmured, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

She was the heaven-proud one subdued by the Little Western Heaven Ancient Freak, Yu Fozi; she was the direct daughter of the Peacock Great Bright King lineage, with a noble bloodline and powerful strength.

In addition, the Desolate Ancient Ye Clan.

On top of an isolated peak with cliffs standing a thousand fathoms high.

The Ye Clan's Sword Demon reincarnation, Ye Ye Guchen, dressed in black with a handsome face, slowly stood up.

His aura was incomparably profound, and his eyes no longer had the ancient vicissitudes of before, but instead became incomparably clear.

Ye Ye Guchen had completely severed the past and reshaped his true self.

Now, he had undergone an astonishing transformation compared to before; his entire body's aura was unfathomable, making even Saints feel uneasy when they looked at him.

"It is time."

Ye Ye Guchen raised his head, looking at the Emperor Road in the firmament.

He raised his hand and suddenly pulled out the Emperor-Slaying Sword that had been stuck diagonally in the ground.

That sword had been stained with Emperor blood!

Boom!

The moment Ye Ye Guchen pulled out the Emperor-Slaying Sword, a terrifying aura erupted, and a terrifying sword energy that would shake the stars of the heavens swept across the firmament!

At this moment, the Ye Clan was alarmed, and many clan elders were observing from outside Ye Ye Guchen's seclusion area.

Even the Ye Clan Ancient Freak who had awakened in the Immortal Ancient World, Ye Nantian, had a shocked look in his eyes.

"As expected of the Sword Demon reincarnation; although he severed the past, his talent and cultivation have become even more unfathomable. He is simply comparable to the previous Jun Jun Xiaoyao," Ye Nantian was shocked.

As an Ancient Freak himself, facing Ye Ye Guchen, he had the feeling of seeing a senior.

That sword intent was chilling!

Ye Ye Guchen gently stroked the body of the Emperor-Slaying Sword, and the sound of the sword ringing moved the nine heavens.

"Old friend, originally you would have met a good opponent, but it's a pity..." Ye Ye Guchen shook his head slightly.

The person he was referring to was naturally Jun Jun Xiaoyao.

It was said that kings do not meet kings, but the result was that it would be hard to meet again.

"I, Ye Ye Guchen, use this sword to seek a defeat; I hope the Emperor Road will not disappoint me."

Ye Ye Guchen carried the Emperor-Slaying Sword on his back and stepped onto the firmament step by step.

The Ye Clan's Sword Demon reincarnation, who had been in seclusion for a long time, had finally set out!
