Chapter 576: Slaying the Inauspicious, Avoiding Retreat

Ye Wuque also gave a slight nod, his eyes flashing with appreciation.

Though this sparring was brief and both parties only touched the surface, never deploying their true life‑or‑death trump cards, it was enough for him to feel Xu Tianfeng's terrifying power and unfathomable depth.

"Xu, you are overly modest," Ye Wuque said lightly, "Your Order Three Methods are unfathomably variable, truly eye‑opening."

Xu Tianfeng heard this, and his vague visage seemed to carry a faint smile.

He said nothing more, but gave Ye Wuque a deep look and left a single sentence:

"Hope... on the No Return Path, I may still meet you."

Having said that, he hesitated not a moment, turned and left.

With a single step, his figure vanished into the boundless Void, leaving only a faint, order‑laden Dao Rhythm that lingered for a long time.

Ye Wuque watched him depart, feeling quite admiring.

Xu Tianfeng... truly extraordinary.

He could see that Xu Tianfeng's goal was no longer confined to the Origin Ancient Road, that mere trial ground.

His true destination was the legendary No Return Path, a place symbolizing great terror and despair, yet also the ultimate challenge and opportunity!

And indeed, he has the right to say that!

From the recent sparring, Ye Wuque could clearly sense on Xu Tianfeng a uniquely special aura—

It was the aura of the Holy Law Origin!

The Holy Law Origin is touted as one of the most difficult and supreme creations since the ages of Zhutian!

Any being approved by the Holy Law Origin is a peerless marvel that dazzles the ages, with the prospect of touching that supreme realm!

Beyond that, the number of extreme realms Xu Tianfeng has attained must have reached a terrifying level.

The rumor of "at least five extreme realms" likely still underestimates him!

"No Return Path..."

Ye Wuque whispered, his eyes as firm as iron.

There, Ye Wuque, of course, must go!

Moreover, he looks forward to whether, on that ultimate road of despair and terror, he will meet Xu Tianfeng again.

"Interesting," Ye Wuque said, a faint smile tugging at his corner, and turned to continue deeper into the Origin Ancient Road.

……

As exploration of the Origin Ancient Road deepened day by day, and time passed, more and more brilliant names emerged on this legendary road.

The brief sparring between Ye Wuque and Xu Tianfeng was like a stone tossed into a lake—though it caused ripples, it was soon drowned by the endless events, oddities, and battles on the Ancient Road.

This is an era of prodigious talent eruptions!

Every day, new monsters burst forth, shaking the Ancient Road with dazzling feats.

Every day, old strong ones silently fall, becoming stepping stones for others' rise!

Every day, astonishing opportunities arise, sparking countless Heavenly Pride frenzies!

Every day, bloody battles unfold, the Other Shore and Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the Inauspicious and Zhutian beings, waging cruel attrition and games on this Ancient Road!

Ye Wuque, in this blazing, blood‑soaked environment, has been fighting for a hundred years!

A hundred years, for him, is a century of meteoric strength growth!

He explored countless secret realms, gaining countless opportunities.

Some secret realms were inherited caves left by predecessors; there he obtained long‑lost ancient divine arts, melting them together for his own use.

Other realms were places of cosmic creation where he refined his flesh, forged his spirit, and grasped laws; each emergence left his aura a bit more condensed.

Some were deadly deathlands where he fought ferocious beasts, contended with seals, and dueled the Inauspicious, surviving countless near‑deaths and gaining huge breakthroughs at the brink of life.

He encountered ambushes and encirclements from Other Shore World strongmen countless times!

Those Other Shore Beings seemed to make hunting him their top task, coming in endless waves.

Some were King Immortals, some even Immortal Kings, and on several occasions, even Dao Void Realm powers intervened, laying a Heaven‑Earth Net to utterly crush him!

Yet each time, Ye Wuque, with absolute strength, repaid every attacking foe!

His name, among the Other Shore World and Inauspicious Clan, has become a taboo.

Mentioning the three characters "Ye Wuque" makes Heavenly Pride of the Other Shore turn pale, and Inauspicious minions tremble.

His record repeatedly shatters the cognitive limits of all beings on the Ancient Road, his ferocity repeatedly intimidates those rogue scoundrels.

The cultivation methods and divine arts he trains have all made great progress!

The Undying Indestructible Divine King Art has been refined by him to a higher level; the Emperor Form's power is more terrifying, lasts longer, and consumes less.

The three avatars of "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities" have, after a hundred years of forging, grown closer in combat power to the original and gained more independent combat abilities!

"Three Heads Six Arms" in its ultimate Five Heads Ten Arms form is now fully mastered by him, allowing limitless use and astonishing offensive‑defensive capabilities in battle!

Moreover, amplifying divine arts such as "Nine-Five Supreme Heavenly Art," "Dou Character Formula," "Infinite Limitless Great Fission," "Six Paths Startle God," and "Divine King Nirvana" have all been refined by him to an even more consummate level!

In addition, from the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Dao Power he gleaned many methods of employing the Beast Path; though he hasn't directly cultivated beast clan arts, his grasp of "life's origin" and "bloodline power" deepened his insight into his own Undying Indestructible Divine King Art.

In a word—

A hundred years of war, and Ye Wuque has been reborn!

His true combat power has long surpassed the ordinary Immortal King, reaching a terrifying tier even he has not fully grasped!

One record alone proves everything—

Just recently, the Inauspicious Clan could no longer hold back, dispatching nine Immortal Kings and three Dao Void Realm powers, setting a fatal ambush to utterly end the threat Ye Wuque posed to their peace!

Immortal Kings! They are terrifying beings beyond King Immortal, each a legendary great power capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Dao Void Realm powers! They surpass even Immortality, stepping into another tier of terrifying existence!

Their strength no longer limits to individual might; they can stir the Great Dao, rotate the law's origin, and with a gesture suppress a universe of ten thousand ages!

Nine Immortal Kings together with three Dao Void Realm powers form a lineup capable of sweeping away the younger generations of the vast cosmos, even making ancient sects wary!

When the news spread, countless beings watching the battle all thought—Ye Wuque was certain to die.

However, the result left everyone speechless in horror!

No one knows the exact course of that battle.

All that is known is that after the fight, that Star Domain was reduced to absolute void, leaving not a trace of energy or a meteor, as if it had been completely erased from the universe.

Yet Ye Wuque, unscathed, stepped out of that void in a single step!

The nine Immortal Kings and the three great beings of the Dao Void Realm were all slain by him in retaliation—none left!

When the news spread, the entire Origin Ancient Road trembled! Countless beings were left speechless in horror! Countless Heavenly Pride despaired and lamented!

The three characters "Ye Wuque", together with the name "War God", shone like a blazing sun, utterly intimidating the whole Origin Ancient Road!

Since then, neither Other Shore nor any Inauspicious strong ones have dared to easily provoke him.

At this stage, contemporaneous beings who can match Ye Wuque's strength are exceedingly few, almost none!

Those who, at this time, still have the right to meet him, stand beside him, or even fight him are all awe‑inspiring talents that make Zhutian tremble, at least the heads of monsters in a Great Thousand-level Universe!

……

A hundred years later.

Origin Ancient Road, later segment.

A certain section of the Primordial Ancient Star Domain.

Here is the deepest, most peripheral region of the entire Origin Ancient Road.

Passing through this Primordial Ancient Star Domain and delving deeper, it is said one can reach the legendary Ultimate Land—the No Return Path!

Therefore, this is also the most mysterious and dangerous region of the whole Origin Ancient Road.

Because here one must truly confront the Bane Creatures!

Those Inauspicious beings that only dared to lurk in the middle of the Ancient Path and strike occasionally become wildly active in this region.

Because this place is close to their source, their power can be fully unleashed here.

This Primordial Ancient Star Domain bears a name that makes listeners turn pale—

Dark Star Domain.

As the name suggests, this Star Domain is shrouded year‑round in endless Darkness and despair.

The starlight is devoured by a strange force, and the Void is filled with a faint, unsettling Darkness Mist.

Laws are twisted here, order is eroded, even Time seems to become viscous and slow.

Anyone who can reach this Dark Star Domain at this time is none other than a supreme Heavenly Pride who has survived countless battles and crawled out of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea! The weak were eliminated long ago in the middle stages.

And Ye Wuque has been campaigning in this Dark Star Domain for several years.

His cultivation, over these years, finally achieved a milestone breakthrough—

Tongtian Eighteen Realms, the peak of the eighteenth realm! The true Great Perfection of Tongtian!

This means that in the crucial grand realm of Tongtian, he has reached the utmost, laying the firmest foundation!

As for his true strength—

No one knows how terrifyingly great it has become.

All that is known is that not long ago the Inauspicious clan struck again, sending several ancient entities hidden in the Dark Star Domain to try to kill Ye Wuque while he was still new and unstable.

The result was, once again, a crushing defeat.

Since then, Ye Wuque has become a walking legend in this Dark Star Domain; wherever he goes, the Inauspicious retreat, and the Other Shore falls silent.
