179: The prodigy treads the path to the emperor

The phenomenon of the Emperors Road opening lasted for three full days.

During these three days, the Primal Ancient Realm roared with the myriad Daos, and Spiritual Qi surged like a tide. Countless Cultivators who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for many years used this Opportunity to make a Breakthrough.

In the starry sky, some ancient ruins manifested automatically, spewing forth rosy light; some long-extinct saplings of divine herbs broke through the soil, breathing in Dao Rhyme.

The entire Universe seemed to radiate new vitality.

Three days later, the tremors that shook heaven and earth gradually subsided, but the Dao Rhyme of the Emperor lingering in the air became increasingly clear.

Everyone could feel that an invisible road leading to the highest Realm had been laid out, waiting for those with fated Opportunity and sufficient strength to step onto it.

The first step to stepping onto the Emperors Road was to find the "Gate of the Emperors Road".

According to ancient records and the confirmation of some awakened old monsters, the Emperors Road was not a concrete road; it was composed of countless "Emperors Road Nodes" scattered across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms and the "Star Roads" connecting these nodes.

Only by passing through a specific "Gate of the Emperors Road" could one enter a node, step onto a Star Road, and begin the struggle.

The location of each Gate of the Emperors Road was different; it could appear anywhere, and the time of its appearance was limited.

Being able to find and enter the Gate of the Emperors Road in the first instance was in itself an initial test of Luck and strength.

Qingzhou, Lin Family.

Inside the Family grand hall, the atmosphere was solemn and impassioned.

Acting Clan Head sat in the main seat, and below were the Seven Saint Sons including Lin Hao, Ye Chen, Lin Yun, Phoenix Spirit, and core Prodigies such as Lin Huan, Lin Zhan, and Lin Qingyi.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and Battle Intent.

"The Emperors Road has opened; Opportunity lies ahead, but it is also fraught with crises."

Acting Clan Head's voice was steady. "The Family will not stop anyone who aspires to step onto the Emperors Road, but you must remember that the struggle on the Emperors Road is extremely cruel, and eight or nine out of ten will fall. Preserving your own life is the top priority."

He scanned the crowd: "The location of the Gate of the Emperors Road is unfixed and may appear in any Star Domain. The Family will utilize all intelligence networks to closely monitor movements from all sides. You may also set off on your own to explore the Star Domains where ancient rumors suggest nodes might appear."

"Yes, Clan Head!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Lin Hao stood out first, his Sword Qi hidden but not released, his eyes as sharp as swords: "I wish to go to the 'Burial Sword Star Domain'. That is the place where ancient Sword Cultivators fought; there must be an Emperors Road Node there."

Ye Chen's blood and Qi were majestic, his Saint Body's golden light restrained: "I am going to the 'Ancient Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races'. The dao marks of ten thousand races remain there, and there may be Opportunity."

Lin Yun's Star Heavy Pupils had galaxies flowing within them: "I sense a summons from the depths of the 'Meteorite Sea'."

Phoenix Spirit, Lin Feng, Yang Yan, Moon Radiance, and others also spoke of the target Star Domains they had sensed or chosen.

Lin Huan pondered for a moment and said: "I have no clear sense for now, so I plan to go to the outer area of the 'Chaos Frontier' to have a look."

He always felt that this chaotic land had some connection with his Primal Origin Body, and perhaps a special Emperors Road Node was hidden there.

Acting Clan Head nodded: "Very well. Remember, if things are not feasible, prioritize preserving your own life. The Family will always be your backing."

The group accepted the order and left one after another, preparing to set off immediately.

Lin Qingyi and Jiang Li exchanged a glance, and Jiang Li said softly: "The Flying Immortal Body might have a resonance at the 'Ethereal Immortal Trace' ruins; let's go together."

Lin Qingyi nodded, and the two left hand in hand.

Soon, the top Prodigies of the Lin Family's younger generation turned into streams of light, rushing out of the Lin Familys Small World, submerging into the endless starry sky, and heading in their respective chosen directions.

Their departure also officially announced that the Lin Family had stepped into this wave of Emperors Road struggles that was sweeping through the Myriad Heavens.

It was not just the Lin Family.

During these three days, in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, countless Immortal Powers, ancient traditions, and Hidden Families had dispatched their hidden Prodigies, awakened ancient freaks, and old monsters who had been stuck at the Quasi-Emperor Realm for countless years.

In the starry sky, it suddenly became exceptionally lively.

All kinds of gorgeous flying boats, ferocious warships, and massive mounts, carrying powerful Cultivators, shuttled through the sea of stars, rushing to those legendary ancient Star Domains to search for the Gate of the Emperors Road.

Conflict followed.

In order to compete for the location of the potentially appearing Gate of the Emperors Road, or to eliminate competitors in advance, battles in the starry sky suddenly increased.

One could often see the light of Divine Abilities illuminating the darkness, and the sound of explosions shattering stars.

A scene where chaos and Opportunity coexisted was playing out all over the Universe.

...

On the outskirts of the Chaos Frontier, in a chaotic area floating with a large number of broken continents.

Lin Huan's figure appeared on a huge, dark red meteorite covered with holes.

He restrained most of his aura, like an ordinary Saint King Realm explorer, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The Law here was still chaotic, but much calmer than in the depths.

Occasionally, he could see the figures of other Cultivators, all cautiously exploring something.

"According to ancient records, because of its special nature, the Chaos Frontier contains a great many Law fragments and ancient ruins, and the probability of an Emperors Road Node appearing is not small."

Lin Huan pondered in his heart, his Divine Thought spreading out like water waves, carefully sensing the abnormal fluctuations in space.

Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he looked at a twisted nebula belt to his front left.

There, he felt a faint but exceptionally high-quality spatial fluctuation.

This fluctuation was incompatible with the chaotic Law around it, carrying a sense of order and guidance.

"Could it be..."

His heart stirred, and his figure approached the nebula belt silently.

The closer he got, the clearer the spatial fluctuation became.

At the same time, he also noticed that there were several strong auras nearby, seemingly having discovered the abnormality here as well, and were rushing over from different directions.

A moment later, Lin Huan passed through a colorful ion dust fog, and the scene before him made his eyes narrow.

In the center of that twisted nebula, the Void Realm was rippling like water, and a huge light gate, about a hundred feet high and condensed entirely from starlight, was flickering in and out of existence!

On the light gate flowed countless dense runes containing the majesty of the Emperor, and behind the gate was a deep starry sky vortex that seemed to lead to an unknown place.

The Gate of the Emperors Road!

Moreover, looking at the solidity of this light gate, it was clearly about to stabilize completely and officially open!

Just then, several sounds of breaking through the air came.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures appeared near the Gate of the Emperors Road almost simultaneously, forming a triangular formation that loosely surrounded the light gate.

The person on the left, wearing animal skins, with knotted muscles, holding a white bone club, had a wild aura and was a Barbarian Clan Expert with a cultivation at the Late Stage of the Great Saint Realm.

The person on the right, shrouded in a wide black robe, revealing only eyes flickering with ghostly green flames, with Death Qi permeating their body, came from the remnants of the Nine Nether Mansion, and their cultivation was also at the Late Stage of the Great Saint Realm.

The last person was a young man wearing a luxurious purple robe, with a handsome but sinister face, riding a purple electric dragon, whose aura was the most powerful, reaching the Peak of the Great Saint Realm, and he came from an Immortal Power called the "Purple Extreme Thunder Mansion".

The three people first greedily looked at the Gate of the Emperors Road that was about to take shape, then scanned each other vigilantly, and finally, all fell unanimously on Lin Huan, who had arrived first and whose aura appeared to be only at the Saint King Realm.

The Purple-Robed Youth hooked his lips into a disdainful sneer: "A mere Saint King Realm, and you dare to covet the Gate of the Emperors Road? Get lost, otherwise, die!"

The Barbarian Clan Expert and the Nine Nether Mansion Cultivator also had icy eyes, obviously treating Lin Huan as an obstacle that could be easily cleared away.

Lin Huan looked at the three of them, his face expressionless, and he slowly clenched his fists.

He knew that the struggle for the Emperors Road had already begun in front of this gate.

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of the three:

"I want this gate."
