Chapter 548
Xu Chen remembered that the female emperor had never mentioned this voice in his past life.
Because she simply appeared and grabbed people to enhance her own cultivation.
This time, perhaps she feared the connections between Yun Qianyue, Wanmo Nudi, and Jiang Xianying?
After thinking for a while, Xu Chen shook his head and ultimately couldn't figure it out.
But since they'd come this far, they couldn't just stand around watching.
Anyway, with the protagonist leading, if anything went wrong, it wouldn't be him.
So he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Why are you just staring at me instead of moving?"
Ye Xuan's face turned as black as ink—damn that couple, they'd tricked him up here.
Now he was the most dangerous one among everyone. He asked his master, "Master, what should we do?"
Ling Zunzhe said, "Don't fear—I'm here, you won't come to harm." Hearing this, Ye Xuan relaxed slightly: "Alright."
With that, Ye Xuan walked slowly toward the end of the Fourth Water Dao, before all eyes.
After a long while, he finally reached the side of a black river.
This black river was impossibly wide—several thousand li across, and its length was immeasurable.
Nothing could remain or float on its surface.
Anything entering a certain range above the river would inevitably sink and never rise again.
Xu Chen squinted—this river had no special name; it was simply called Heishui Dihe.
To stand upon it required the Emperor Dao of a Martial Emperor.
But even the Martial Emperor's Dao was not absolutely stable—650. The stronger the Emperor Dao, the more stable one would be on Heishui Dihe.
Or, if one's Emperor Dao wasn't very strong but numerous, one could still be relatively stable.
If one's Emperor Dao was both strong and numerous, then stability was guaranteed. "I've heard this is Heishui Dihe—look, there's land at the river's end."
"Likely, the sound we heard earlier came from that land."
"We don't need to say much—just walk across, or have someone carry you." Luo Qianshang explained.
The many Martial Saints secretly panicked—what should they do now?
Their Holy Domains probably wouldn't work here—this was Heishui Dihe.
For a moment, they were all troubled—unless someone was willing to release their Emperor Dao to let them cross.
Otherwise, with this river, they truly had no way to get across.
But no one would help them.
After all, everyone here wanted to seize the treasures—who would let them pass to snatch them? Ye Xuan now said calmly, "Since this is Heishui Dihe, I'll go first."
"Hum!"
The instant he spoke, Ye Xuan unleashed his Emperor Dao: Sword Dao.
His body slowly rose into the air, then his right foot stepped forward.
In an instant, a vast path formed by a giant sword extended beneath his feet.
With a single step, he covered hundreds of meters, following the sword path straight onto the land.
The land was shrouded in countless black mists, heavy with Death Qi.
But Ye Xuan showed no fear—he retracted his sharp Sword Qi into his body.
Around him, ninety-nine Spiritual Qi swords appeared out of thin air, circling his form.
These lifeless black mists were instantly repelled by Ye Xuan's Spiritual Qi swords.
In other words, half a li beyond his body, the air was crystal clear, immune to all poisons.
Everyone secretly gasped—was this the legacy of the Sword Emperor and Tyrant Emperor?
This move was truly astonishing.
Xu Chen nodded—the Sword Emperor's legacy, the Peerless Demon Sword.
It could form ninety-nine Spiritual Qi swords, repelling all evil.
Xu Chen turned to the others: "You all—go first, or shall I?" The crowd laughed nervously: "You go first—we'll watch." Joking, the waterway was currently safe.
But who the hell knew if danger lurked on that land?
Letting Ye Xuan and Xu Chen go first was definitely the right move.
Their own Emperor Daos should be enough to let them cross.
Xu Chen nodded: "Fine, I'll go first—I can help you all cross too." This Heishui Dihe once had a bridge; in this life, it had vanished for no reason.
In other words, he couldn't let these people, who were meant to be part of the plot, disappear.
Otherwise, the story wouldn't be the original plot anymore.
So he had to get them all across.
Luo Qianshang squinted: "Is your Dao really that strong?"
It was common knowledge that only an Emperor Dao strong enough could let others step upon it.
Otherwise, anyone stepping onto another's Emperor Dao would cause it to collapse instantly.
Most importantly, letting even one person step on it was already extremely difficult.
Now, letting ten thousand people step on it—could Xu Chen possibly hold up?
This was ridiculous.
Zhao Wuji chuckled lightly: "Brother Xu, you're joking." His tone carried mockery.
It wasn't that he doubted Xu Chen—it was just absurd.
Yang Han said: "Brother Xu, why not take back what you just said? We'll pretend we didn't hear it." His tone was also teasing.
After all, even two people struggling on one Emperor Dao was hard enough.
They felt it was quite difficult anyway; at most they could carry two people.
Any more, and their own Emperor Dao would collapse.
Di Lintian, Yan Luofeng, and the others showed faint smiles.
Though they said nothing, it was plain to see.
They all agreed with what Yang Han and Zhao Wuji had said.
Emperor Dao, especially the Emperor Dao of Martial Emperor Second Heaven, had only just taken shape.
To let others cross over now—Xu Chen was still too reckless.
If it caused one's own Dao heart to collapse, the loss would still be one's own.
Thinking this, the corners of their mouths curled up as they looked at Xu Chen, as if watching an idiot.
If Xu Chen had said to let dozens of people cross, they might have believed it, even felt secretly alarmed.
But this was tens of thousands of people.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. Xu Chen said calmly at this moment, "You are, in the end, a bit too ignorant and ill-informed.
If I could succeed at condensing a pill in a single thought, what is there so remarkable about these? Now." Having finished speaking, Xu Chen's Divine Sense surged, and his own Dao suddenly appeared.
Using Spiritual Qi as the foundation, he constructed a golden road.
The road was shaped like a rainbow, its far end being that land region.
This, was Xu Chen's Undying Dao.
Above the road, a thick aura of immortality shimmered. "Hiss!"
"Buzz!"
"Hiss!"
Immediately after, atop Xu Chen's Undying Dao—
Eight smaller paths slowly extended out from the Undying Dao.
Among them were encompassed the Dao of Space, Sword Dao, Dao of Saber, Dao of Spear, Dao of Water, Dao of Fire, Dao of Wind, and Dao of Domination.
These were all the Daos Xu Chen had temporarily fused.
The other Daos were still slowly fusing.
Yet upon seeing this scene, the crowd was already dumbstruck.
Holy shit! Nine Daos?
This Xu Chen, has actually comprehended nine Daos?
Is this for real?
