205: The chosen path

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Inside the battlefield, the sounds of slaughter and roaring never ceased.

The Cultivators on the city walls all watched this scene with wide-eyed astonishment.

What they did not know was that at this moment, in the outside world.

Numerous factions had all gathered at every entrance of the Lingxu Battlefield.

For some unknown reason, the entrances to the Lingxu Battlefield had changed; massive sky screens appeared above the Void Realm at the entrances.

Everyone only needed to look up to see what was happening within the Lingxu Battlefield.

The battle between the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the soldiers of the Emperor Pass left everyone stunned.

"What is going on? The Lingxu Battlefield of this generation is completely different from the previous ones!"

"Why were these sky screens created, and what is going on with those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals? Is there really an Immortal in this world?"

"And what about this Kaiyuan Era that the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals speak of?! Ancient, Myriad Ancient, Desolate Ancient—I have never heard of any Kaiyuan Era!"

"The word 'Immortal'... Heh..."

"..."

The discussions among the crowd were constant; the fact that sky screens capable of viewing the interior had appeared in this generation's Lingxu Battlefield was truly inconceivable.

Even some ancient existences placed their Divine Thought at the entrances of the Lingxu Battlefield.

When they saw those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Dao Rhyme on their bodies flickered incessantly, causing the depths of the Universe to emit continuous roaring sounds.

Immortals!

They wanted to seek the proof of Dao and become the Great Emperor of the current age!

But what does a Great Emperor want?

Naturally, it is immortality and the pursuit of the path to Immortality.

Some Great Emperors paid the price of abandoning their Heavenly Dao imprints, becoming creatures that were neither dead nor alive, all to pursue the traces of the word 'Immortal'.

Now, seeing that a path to Immortality had appeared within the Lingxu Battlefield.

They wished they could tear open the entrance to the Lingxu Battlefield immediately to see what was going on in the world inside.

But they could not do so at all.

Putting aside the fact that the Lingxu Battlefield itself was a self-contained Small World with its own rules, even if they wanted to break it open with brute force, it was an impossible task.

Furthermore, there were successors of numerous Dao traditions inside the Lingxu Battlefield.

If those ancient existences wanted to forcibly tear apart the Lingxu Battlefield, they would be attacked by these Dao traditions in unison.

Before they even found the path to Immortality, they would likely die right here!

Before everyone's eyes, seven massive sky screens slowly rose, representing the Seven Emperor Passes.

At this moment, intense slaughter between the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the soldiers of the Emperor Pass was occurring at every one of the Seven Emperor Passes.

However, the leaders commanding those Heavenly Soldiers or the soldiers of the Emperor Pass were all different.

It was as if the Immortal Realm was launching an attack on the Seven Emperor Passes simultaneously.

The Lord of Blissful Demons brought many Ancestors to the entrance of one of the Lingxu Battlefields, and through the sky screen, they saw their own Disciples.

At this moment, the Lord of Blissful Demons had a fawning expression on his face; where was there any trace of the Aura of a Demon Lord?

After all, those standing beside him were all Ancestors of the Righteous Qi Sect!

"Hehe... Ancestor, look at Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange; they are both in that Fifth Emperor Pass. If there is any Opportunity, they will definitely obtain it first!"

"This so-called Immortal... Heh..."

The Third Ancestor let out a cold laugh. Clearly, he held no longing for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals within the sky screen, and his tone was even filled with mockery.

"Are those really Immortals?"

"..."

Facing the confusion of the Lord of Blissful Demons, the Ancestors did not answer him.

Because at this moment, a shocking change had occurred within the Emperor Pass.

They saw that above the city gate, two stone doors had appeared; one stone door emitted red light, while the other emitted a blue halo.

On the two stone doors, two words were inscribed.

The red one was 'Emperor'.

The blue one was 'Immortal'.

Needless to say, everyone understood these two doors; this was asking them to choose a faction?

Either go help the soldiers within the Emperor Pass or stand with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Looking out over the battlefield, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were clearly superior; after all, the soldiers on the Emperor Pass side were at a disadvantage in both numbers and combat power.

Under these circumstances, naturally, joining the side of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals was the most correct choice.

Most Cultivators thought this way, but seeing the intense slaughter on the battlefield, for a moment, they dared not enter directly.

After all, the residual power of that battle could potentially turn them into ashes.

Star after star was annihilated, countless Small Worlds were destroyed and underwent Rebirth; such a battle scene was simply too terrifying.

Even if those people wanted to enter, they had to consider their own strength.

No matter how formidable the younger generation of Cultivators were, how could they fight against those beings capable of destroying the sun, moon, and stars at will?

But where there is a heavy reward, there will be reckless men.

Everyone came to the Lingxu Battlefield to fight for Opportunity.

And since they would not truly die, if they didn't dare to take a gamble, how could they compete for Opportunity!

Thinking of this, numerous Cultivators had already walked down from the city walls and stood in front of the two doors.

Most of them stood on the side belonging to the 'Immortal'.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the victory of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals was only a matter of time.

Everyone came to fight for Opportunity; how could they stand on the weaker side, even if they called themselves the Human Race.

Hum...

As the first Cultivator entered.

He directly transformed into the appearance of a Heavenly Soldier and appeared on the battlefield; at the same time, his cultivation became terrifyingly powerful.

"Hahahaha!"

The Cultivator let out a burst of wild laughter; he had never imagined that he could possess such formidable power.

Spiritual light surged on his body, and the next moment, he charged toward the soldiers of the Emperor Pass.

"The Opportunity is all mine!!!"

The Cultivator had an expression of excitement on his face, seemingly lost due to the powerful strength within his body.

Bao techniques shone brightly, spiritual light flickered, and roaring sounds were constant as the Cultivator launched an assault directly against the soldiers of the Emperor Pass.

With every gesture, he caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

"Does entering mean one will possess such cultivation?"

"It seems we will play a role within it; since that is the case, what is there to be afraid of?!"

"That Opportunity is mine!!!"

"..."

Hum...

One after another, the Cultivators rushed into that stone door.

Especially on the side of the Immortal door, the Cultivators had looks of madness on their faces as they charged straight toward that door.

Although they did not know how the Opportunity was obtained, it was definitely related to this battle!

Since that was the case, it was definitely first come, first served; whoever could kill more beings would be able to obtain more Opportunity!

Hum, hum, hum...

As one Cultivator after another entered the battlefield, the soldiers of the Emperor Pass retreated steadily.

After all, there were simply too many Cultivators joining the Immortal door.

Every Cultivator who entered the battlefield stood within a starry expanse, draped in strands of rosy light, and each of them seemed to be the Dominator of the world.
