626: Chapter 626 The Eternal Path, Facing the Entire Universe!

Near the Cosmic Abyss now, spaceships were lined up everywhere.

These were clearly the Immortal Level combat strengths and above from all the major factions.

Gazing at the path of eternity Gate shining with golden light in the distance ahead, everyone's face held a trace of determination and hope.

This journey to the path of eternity concerned not only the survival of their universe but also the matter of the Eternal Being fruit position.

They had cultivated for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, and in terms of cultivation, most of them had reached a bottleneck where progress was nearly impossible. However, this path of eternity offered them hope—not just the hope of advancing further, but even the hope of achieving the Eternal Being status!

Therefore, whether for their universe or for themselves,

they were prepared to exert their utmost effort and give everything for this endeavor.

Not long after.

A new spaceship slowly appeared in the void among the array of vessels.

This was the spaceship carrying Li Fan and the others.

As one of the five great giants of This Universe, the Cosmic Cloud Company possessed unfathomably deep foundations.

Li Fan's group was the last batch to arrive from the Cosmic Cloud Company. Six spaceships had already arrived earlier. In terms of the number of Immortal Level experts and above heading to the path of eternity, the Cosmic Cloud Company undoubtedly had the largest contingent.

"This!"

Li Fan looked through the transparent cabin door at the dense swarm of spaceships outside and couldn't help but be startled.

This scale of presence.

It seemed the number of experts in the universe was far, far greater than he had imagined!

Immediately after, Li Fan's gaze shifted toward the path of eternity Gate ahead.

Just as Elder Yuan had said,

the path of eternity Gate was about to officially open.

If Elder Yuan's deduction was correct, tomorrow should be the official opening day.

For the remaining less than a day, Li Fan did not plan to cultivate or do anything else; he simply chose to close his eyes to rest and wait quietly.

In fact, it was not just Li Fan; everyone present was doing the same, even the Immortals from the Alien Universe were no exception.

Because for existences like them, cramming at the last minute was useless. Success depended on years of accumulation and the choices made on the spot.

...

Unknowingly.

Time arrived the next day.

This day was precisely the time Elder Yuan had predicted for the official opening of the path of eternity!

At this moment, on both sides of the Cosmic Abyss, all the top combat powers, whether from the Alien Universe or This Universe, had stepped out of their spaceships, ready to enter the path of eternity at any moment.

Not long after.

A sudden anomaly occurred.

The path of eternity Gate, which had previously been flashing with endless golden light, suddenly became incredibly calm. Even the surrounding cosmic primordial energy ceased its boiling and fell into silence.

This scene looked nothing like an impending opening.

This caused everyone from both universes to frown.

"Is it not opening today?"

Li Fan couldn't help but murmur softly.

Just as Li Fan was wondering, Ming Yan's voice echoed in his mind.

"Damn! You... you became an Immortal?!"

This exclamation nearly startled Li Fan.

Ming Yan had fallen into slumber ever since Li Fan returned to the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters. It had been over a year since then.

His sudden appearance was truly unpredictable.

"Mhm, I went into seclusion and luckily managed to break through to the Immortal Level," Li Fan replied via telepathic transmission with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Ming Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He was describing it far too casually.

Before falling asleep, Li Fan was clearly only a Domain Lord. How long had he slept? He entered seclusion and became an Immortal? And at the peak of the Immortal Level no less!

However, after briefly considering the heaven-defying fortunes Li Fan had encountered along the way, it seemed this was not entirely unacceptable.

Subsequently, Ming Yan's gaze was drawn to the path of eternity Gate ahead.

"It looks like the path of eternity is about to open!"

Ming Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

This statement caused Li Fan to be slightly stunned.

By all appearances, it looked like it was absolutely *not* about to open.

How could Ming Yan see that?

However.

Just as Li Fan was still confused, a terrifying Dao sound suddenly boomed from within the path of eternity Gate!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

This sound was immensely loud and profoundly deep, piercing through both universes, allowing all the populace in both to hear it with extreme clarity.

Because of this, the gazes of all people in both universes turned toward the Cosmic Abyss.

"It really is opening!"

Li Fan stared wide-eyed at the changes in the path of eternity Gate before him and murmured to himself.

The previous silence, it seemed, was just the calm before the storm.

It could be seen that now, with the terrifying Dao sound ringing out, the path of eternity Gate was gradually transforming into a massive golden vortex gate.

Once this golden vortex gate fully formed and the spatial fluctuations stabilized, it would mean the path of eternity had officially opened.

At this moment.

Everyone, including Li Fan, subconsciously held their breath.

As soon as the vortex gate took shape, they would charge into it at the first opportunity!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Unbeknownst to them.

Above the void of the two universes, the scene of their location was actually appearing in the eyes of all the populace of both universes!

No matter where they were in the universe, as long as they looked up at the starry sky, they could see all the images of Li Fan and the others!

This situation caused the populace of both universes to erupt in excitement.

"Is this... is this the real-time footage of the path of eternity competition?!"

"I see Venerable Ku Yun from the Sea of Life!"

"Look! That's Immortal Jian Chong! Didn't the legends say he had already perished? I can't believe he's still alive?"

"Venerable Dugu from the Cosmic Cloud Company! Such a legendary figure is actually here too!"

"Why do I suddenly feel like it's not so hopeless anymore? So many legendary powerhouses have appeared one after another. With them here, I feel pretty secure!"

"Hahahaha, I think so too! It feels like we won't have to die!"

"Let's not be too optimistic, but being able to witness the process of our universe's survival firsthand is something to be content with, even if we die!"

"That's right. Being able to personally witness who achieves the Eternal Being status, even if our universe ultimately loses, we still got to feast our eyes before death!"

"Stop talking such unlucky nonsense! With these top-tier ancestors in the legends present, our universe cannot lose!"

"Yes, the ancestors will win! Our universe will win!"

...

"Look! That seems to be an ancestor from the Hong Family, Ancestor Hong Qun, he's actually still alive!"

"The Venerables from the Huang Family are here too!"

"The Venerables from the He Family are here too!"

"And the Immortals and Venerables from the Liu Family, hahahaha, I didn't expect so many Venerables to join the fight this time. In this Eternal Contest, our universe is certain to win!"

"That's right, this lineup is far stronger than I imagined. I didn't realize our universe still had so many hidden ancestors!"

"Hahahaha, it looks like in the near future, we can travel freely to the side of This Universe!"

...

It could be seen.

When the populace of both universes noticed the lineup of their respective ancestors, their spirits were greatly lifted, and they all shouted that the advantage was theirs!

And precisely as the populace of both universes were boiling with excitement,

the golden vortex gate leading to the path of eternity had already completely materialized!

"Everyone, follow me in!!"

"Charge!"

Following two earth-shattering roars,

all the top combat powers of both universes poured into the vortex gate one after another.

The path of eternity, which would decide the future fate of both universes, officially began its prelude at this moment!!
