Chapter 574: Hundred Years of Campaign

After leaving Central Diguo, Ye Wuque formally set foot on the long campaign road deeper within the Origin Ancient Road.

This walk spans a full hundred years.

A hundred years, for mortals, is already a sea of change and several generations passing.

But for those who have taken the cultivation path, especially beings above the Immortal tier, it is merely a flick of the finger—a single retreat, a single enlightenment.

However, for Ye Wuque, this hundred years is the pivotal century in which his strength soars, he constantly transforms, and his name reverberates through the Origin Ancient Road!

Leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago, crossing the boundary between the early and middle sections, Ye Wuque truly steps into the middle region of the Origin Ancient Road.

This region is not merely a hundred or a thousand times more vast than the earlier section!

The Chaos Star River here becomes even broader and more dazzling; countless star domains are like sand grains in the star river, densely packed and scattered like a chessboard of stars.

Each star domain may hold ancient inheritances, defying‑heaven opportunities, and… unpredictable lethal dangers!

Upon reaching the middle stage, chances and adventures indeed gradually increase.

While traveling there, one often encounters remnants of ancient dwellings left by predecessors, wondrous treasures birthed by heaven and earth, and even Dao lineage inheritances left by some fallen strong ones.

Many Heavenly Pride individuals here soar skyward, gaining defying‑heaven destiny, and their strength skyrockets.

But correspondingly, danger and terror also grow geometrically!

First are the natural Forbidden Lands of the Origin Ancient Road itself.

The middle region is dotted with countless death zones formed by twisted Origin Ancient Road rules, remnants of ancient wars, and eruptions of Chaos Qi.

Some star domains are shrouded in eternal Jiemie thunder; even Immortals entering are split into ash.

Other areas are filled with gray mists that corrode divine souls; stepping in causes one to lose direction and ultimately have one's soul scattered.

Some places have extremely unstable space, which may collapse, fold, or become chaotic at any moment, tearing beings to fragments.

Even a powerful Heavenly Pride, if slightly careless, may meet death there.

Next are the beings of the Other Shore World.

The Other Shore World, that multiversal realm that has been at odds with the Nine Heavens Ten Earths for generations, its younger generation of Heavenly Pride naturally also roams the Origin Ancient Road.

For them, hunting the monsters of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths is honor, merit, and an important means to weaken the enemy's potential and morale.

During his middle‑section exploration, Ye Wuque encountered more than one ambush and encirclement by Heavenly Pride from the Other Shore World.

Those Other Shore beings each exude a strange aura, employ ruthless tactics, and hold deep‑seated hostility toward the Nine Heavens Ten Earths beings; once they meet, it often becomes an endless, death‑defying duel.

Even more terrifying are the covert actions of the Inauspicious Clan.

Those Inauspicious beings, originating from the depths of Darkness and aiming to corrupt the Zhutian Wanjie, are like poisonous snakes in the shadows, lurking in every corner of the Ancient Path.

They may hide in Void fissures, disguise themselves as ordinary demonic beasts, or even possess a Heavenly Pride's flesh, delivering a fatal strike at crucial moments.

Their attack methods are bizarre and unpredictable, often accompanied by contamination, erosion, and distortion—techniques hard to defend against.

Many once‑stunning Heavenly Pride did not die in direct combat but were possessed, polluted, or turned into their puppets, ultimately vanishing silently from the Ancient Path.

News often arrives—some Heaven's Chosen of a certain ancient realm met a gruesome death in a secret realm, its corpse corrupted by the Inauspicious into an unrecognizable mess.

A peerless monster of a certain star domain suddenly changed temperament, slaughtered its companions and vanished, suspected of being possessed by the Inauspicious.

A successor of a certain Dao tradition was ambushed and slaughtered by a stronger from the Other Shore World, leaving no corpse…

Blood often stains the starry sky of the Ancient Path crimson.

Life here is like grass.

Yet, precisely in this extremely dangerous, brutal, high‑mortality environment, countless Top‑tier Monsters also rise against the heavens, bursting onto the scene!

Each brilliant name, like a rising proud sun, blooms its own light on this legendary road!

Ye Wuque! Nine Heavens Ten Earths Ye Clan Young Master, Saint Son of Great Thousand Divine Universe, War God, has already spread throughout the Origin Ancient Road.

Feng Caichen, Ye Beichen, Ziyang Shen, Ning Wushuang, Changli Weiyang, Ao Huanggu, Jian Guchen, Tun Zhaogu, Geshu Wenyue, Xu Tianhuang, Shen Wuyue, Fan Yongji, Yan Zhangfeng, Di Shitian…

The brilliant names are countless.

This is a golden era where geniuses erupt like fountains and stars shine brilliantly!

Behind each name lies a legend, a duel, a rise paved with blood and white bone.

Ye Wuque walks this road, sometimes brushing past these brilliant names, sometimes briefly intersecting, sometimes fighting side by side, or… battling life and death.

……

One day, Ye Wuque arrived at an ancient and mysterious star domain.

This star domain lies at the junction between the middle and later sections of the Origin Ancient Road; the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic and profound, Chaos Qi pervades, the stars are arranged oddly, as if following an indescribable order.

Ye Wuque was traversing the Void when, suddenly—

In the Void not far ahead, space seemed slowly torn by an invisible giant hand, and a tall, vague figure radiating endless profound Dao Rhythm stepped out!

The figure was not bulky, yet gave a towering, mountain‑like, unfathomable impact.

The Void surrounding him seemed cloaked by a special rule; light twisted around him, energy flowing nearby automatically circled, and even time appeared to slow beside him.

His visage was veiled by a hazy Dao Rhythm, indistinct.

Only a pair of eyes, through that blurred visage, seemed able to pierce all things, directly grasping essence, flashing with indifferent yet profound light.

His whole being, from head to toe, exuded an indescribable order Dao Rhythm, as if embodying all the rules of heaven and earth.

The purity, power, and profundity of this Dao Rhythm made Ye Wuque's heart shiver!
