158: The first level on the road to becoming an emperor, leave your name!

“Have you considered what I just said?”

Su Xuan ignored the anger of the remaining five and spoke coldly, his tone indifferent.

If it hadn't been for one of them mentioning they had Immortal Medicine, Su Xuan would have slapped them all to death long ago.

“We, the Seven Freaks of the Starry Sky, have traversed the Jianghu for many years, and we have never suffered such a loss as today. To try and obtain treasures from us, you must be dreaming!”

A Starry Sky Bandit spoke coldly.

“So, you mean you don’t plan to give me the treasures?” Su Xuan’s face instantly darkened, and his tone became incredibly grim, his voice like it came from Hell, Soul-stirring and life-taking.

“You, what do you want to do?!”

The five Starry Sky Bandits felt a bad premonition. From Su Xuan’s tone, they even felt a chill that shot straight to their heads. They quickly retreated a few steps, their faces showing wariness.

“Heh, since you’ve chosen your path, I can fulfill your wishes.”

A bloodthirsty, cruel smile finally appeared on Su Xuan’s face, completely unlike his harmless demeanor from before.

Thump, thump, thump…

Su Xuan approached the five Starry Sky Bandits step by step, a terrifying oppressive aura spreading through the air.

At this moment, the bodies of the five Starry Sky Bandits trembled continuously.

Only now did they realize that although this Young man was young, he was not someone they could provoke. In fact, the aura emanating from him could crush them to death!

They were terrified and regretful, yet helpless, only able to watch as Su Xuan approached them.

“We, we are willing to hand over our treasures! We only ask… we only ask that Lord you spare our lives!”

One Starry Sky Bandit, unable to bear the terrifying pressure, shouted loudly.

“Hand them over,” Su Xuan smiled.

“Big Brother, these are our lifelong savings. Are we really just going to hand them over like this?!” one Starry Sky Bandit questioned.

“Alas, who told us to provoke someone we shouldn’t have? There’s no choice… hand them over, and we’ll have a chance to rise again in the future.”

Under Su Xuan’s gaze, a light suddenly shone in the hand of the compromising bandit.

A spatial ring appeared.

“This spatial ring contains all the treasures our seven brothers have acquired over the years… Now, they’re all yours! Can we leave now?”

Whoosh!

The Starry Sky Bandit suddenly threw the spatial ring towards Su Xuan.

Su Xuan’s eyes flashed, and he grabbed the spatial ring in his hand.

He swept his Divine Sense through it, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Inside, there were indeed three Immortal Medicines and some other treasures, such as Holy Soldiers and Holy Medicines.

Suddenly!

Su Xuan’s expression hardened!

Within the ring, there was actually a Spirit Devouring Race creature hidden!

And at this moment, that Spirit Devouring Race creature suddenly lunged at him!

The Spirit Devouring Race was not a particularly strong race, but it could grow stronger by devouring the Souls of other beings, making them incredibly bizarre.

“Heh heh, it’s about to succeed! Once that kid falls for the Spirit Devouring Race’s trick, we’ll still be the final winners!”

The Starry Sky Bandit who gave Su Xuan the spatial ring let out a triumphant laugh.

That Spirit Devouring Race creature was a good find he had obtained during his travels in the Cosmos, all for this very day.

“Hahahahaha! As expected of Big Brother! I knew there was a reason why Big Brother entrusted all the treasures to Big Brother for safekeeping!”

The other four Starry Sky Bandits also instantly broke into smiles upon seeing this, praising that Starry Sky Bandit profusely.

“Heh heh, you think such a small trick can deal with me?”

Just as the five Starry Sky Bandits were feeling smug, a cold voice suddenly echoed in the space.

Instantly, the space solidified, and the five Starry Sky Bandits were greatly alarmed. The Young man wasn’t dead?

Whoosh!

The next second, immeasurable sword light flared, annihilating everything and instantly reaping the lives of the five Starry Sky Bandits.

“You tried to ambush me? I can’t believe you thought of that!”

As a transmigrator, Su Xuan’s spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators, and he didn’t feel the slightest threat from the Spirit Devouring Race creature.

Putting the spatial ring into his pocket, Su Xuan felt much better and walked towards the first pass of the Emperor Road.

It was a towering Imperial Pass, reaching straight into the Starry Sky, incredibly magnificent, standing majestically on the Emperor Road, situated within the Starry Sky.

As Su Xuan approached, he saw three large golden characters inscribed on the Imperial Pass in a flowing, powerful script: [Shanhai Pass]

“Shanhai Pass, what a magnificent Imperial Pass, it’s truly grand!”

Gazing at Shanhai Pass, Su Xuan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

“Shanhai Pass is the first pass of the Emperor Road. Only those who can leave their name may enter!”

And just as Su Xuan approached Shanhai Pass, a grand voice suddenly resounded beneath the Starry Sky.

“Leave a name? Leave what name?” Su Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Recalling his journey to Immortal Ancient, only those who reached the very end could leave their name in Immortal Ancient, yet this Emperor Road required leaving a name right at the start?

Boom!

Just as Su Xuan was wondering, the Starry Sky suddenly trembled violently!

Immediately after, in front of Shanhai Pass, an incredibly majestic stone tablet actually materialized!

The stone tablet exuded an ancient aura; at first glance, one could feel a profound sense of history washing over them, moving them deeply.

On the stone tablet, countless names were densely inscribed, some deeply carved and shining brightly; others shallow and dim.

Clearly, those brightly shining names belonged to the most powerful Pride of the Heavens throughout endless ages.

Gazing at that stone tablet, Su Xuan actually saw several familiar names, such as Wu Shi, Luan Gu, Qingyun… these were Pride of the Heavens from endless ages ago.

Their names were deeply carved and extremely dazzling, all exuding an unparalleled domineering aura, but in this generation, there seemed to be a few names that were just as dazzling as theirs.

Nine Crown King, Leng Ruoli, Chen Beixuan…

Among them, Leng Ruoli’s and Chen Beixuan’s names were the most dazzling.

“I wonder which pass Leng Ruoli has reached?” Su Xuan muttered to himself; he hadn’t seen his Wife in a long time.

“The first pass of the Emperor Road, is it merely about leaving a name?” Su Xuan was somewhat surprised.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Xuan transformed his finger into a sword and lightly traced through the void.

In an instant, sword light flared brightly.

Immeasurable Sword Qi instantly carved two sharp characters onto the stone tablet: Su Xuan!

Boom!

When Su Xuan’s name appeared on the stone tablet, the entire Starry Sky seemed to tremble violently, incredibly astonishing, as if some anomaly had occurred.

On the stone tablet, as the two characters “Su Xuan” appeared, all the other names instantly dimmed, like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

At this moment, the two characters “Su Xuan” radiated brilliant light, incredibly dazzling, and an incredibly terrifying Sword Qi emanated from them, exceedingly sharp.

Su Xuan smiled faintly, passed through Shanhai Pass, and headed directly towards the next pass of the Emperor Road.

And just as Su Xuan left Shanhai Pass, a phantom figure appeared out of thin air above the Imperial Pass.

The phantom looked at the names on the stone tablet, then shifted its gaze to Su Xuan, who had already gone far ahead, its ink-black eyes blinking slightly.

“Su Xuan… why can I not see through his future at all?”
