The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 184 Forceful Entry into the City
Deep in the universe, there is a floating landmass, vast and boundless, with mountains stretching across it, teeming with life.

The second holy city of the ancient human race stands here, magnificent and imposing, far surpassing the first city, and with a more solemn and dignified atmosphere, like a lurking divine lion, inspiring awe.

In the central square of the Second Holy City's gate stands a massive five-colored altar, connected to the First Holy City's gate.

Compared to previous days, today was much more lively. The guide and the Grand Commander were both present, and many soldiers, dressed in heavy armor and holding spears, stood solemnly in formation.

In addition, just like the first pass, the native human inhabitants of the second holy city also came here, each with their own thoughts, waiting quietly.

"boom!"

The five-colored altar shone brightly, and countless divine runes soared into the sky, forming an enormous domain gate. One trial participant after another emerged, their spirits soaring and their fighting spirit blazing; each one was a master.

"They're out!" someone among the indigenous people shouted, and many people looked over, their gazes sweeping across the faces of the numerous trial participants.

"This is……"

The trial participants were taken aback, somewhat surprised. The scene of entering the first level was still vivid in their minds; they never expected to receive such a warm welcome in the second level.

"Tread, step, step..."

A commander from the Second Holy City rode up on his mount and asked, "What happened in the ancient land? May I ask how Lord Ning Qingyi, Young Master Di Tian, ​​Fairy Qing Shi, and the others are doing?"

The sage who was being questioned paused, then realized what he meant, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. He sighed, "Young Master Di Tian, ​​Fairy Qing Shi, and the others should be unharmed. As for Lord Ning Qingyi..."

He hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly the Grand Commander's face darkened: "What's wrong, Lord Ning Qingyi?"

"Before he left, a great change occurred in the ancient land. The Divine Kingdom, the Demon Kingdom, the Nine Heavens Kingdom, and the Spirit Race dispatched dozens of saints, more than a dozen saint kings, and two heavenly kings to besiege and kill him." The young expert's eyes showed a hint of admiration as he said, "However, they were all slaughtered by Lord Ning Qingyi, and most of them perished. When we arrived, it was said that he had already blocked the gates of the Divine Kingdom."

The Grand Commander's eyes flashed with joy, and he pressed on, "What realm is Lord Ning Qingyi at now? Have you broken through to the Saint realm?"

"Not yet, I'm currently only at the Dao-Severing Realm."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the waiting crowd.

"It's actually true! To defy ancient sages, even sage kings!"

"Divine Forbidden Realm! I never imagined that someone in this world could be comparable to a true young emperor even before entering the Ancient Star Road!"

"In this life, our human race will rise to great prominence once again!"

"The second Great Emperor after the Ancient Era will be our human race!"

The crowd in the Second Holy City was bustling with activity. Compared to the humans scattered across various ancient life-bearing planets, they had a higher level of sense of identity with humanity on the ancient star road.

At the same time, they also came into close contact with the malice of various races in the universe towards humanity, and learned about the perilous situation they were in.

In particular, the Holy Spirit Clan, whose members achieved enlightenment after the ancient era, were mostly human emperors. Therefore, they killed several Holy Spirit Supremes, which can be described as a blood feud.

The two races also clashed frequently on the ancient star road, creating a tense atmosphere.

The president also showed a pleased expression and said, "Very good, get some rest, there's still a long road ahead."

Upon hearing this, the young sage merely smiled bitterly and remained silent.

Soon, the remaining trial participants emerged one after another, totaling 147 people. Following them were seed-level experts such as Fairy Qing Shi and Emperor Tian, ​​who rushed out of the passage in a disheveled state. Upon seeing the crowd gathered here, their expressions changed drastically.

"Go back!"

Everyone was confused, but their vigilance was very high, and they all retreated. Only the guide, the commander-in-chief, and the soldiers of the Holy City were on guard and stood guard in one direction.

"Boom!" Divine light flashed, and killing intent soared into the sky. Two figures burst out from the domain gate and charged straight in!

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

Crimson divine blood spilled, icy sacred artifacts clashed, terrifying celestial light devoured the heavens, cruel and intense, sweeping across all directions.

Everyone was shocked!

After many years, someone has once again ventured into the ancient human path.

The Grand Commander was shocked and furious, but when he was struck by the rising divine aura, he shuddered: "A Heavenly King-level expert!"

A Heavenly King-level expert, just half a step further, would be able to step into the Great Sage realm. In this city, only the Guide Envoy could rival him. However, before he could even figure it out, a destructive aura that even he found terrifying came from high above.

"I am the only one!"

The supreme and terrifying fist intent bloomed in the Second Holy City, suppressing the nine heavens and shaking the Nine Netherworlds. Vast golden light surged, sweeping in all directions, its power overwhelming mountains and rivers.

Everyone was utterly shocked.

"Damn human trial participants, die!" one of the figures roared, his entire body's energy and spirit surging, almost transforming into a Dao principle, as he charged forward.

"boom!"

This strike was earth-shattering. The fist and the Dao principles clashed solidly, tearing apart the heavens and earth and spreading in all directions.

Although everyone had moved far enough away, they still felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and the intense light almost blinded them.

The enormous cracks, crisscrossing and terrifying, almost cleaved the Second Holy City in two.

In response, the guide acted decisively, and all the ancient magic arrays in the magnificent city were revived. Many Dao patterns were instantly obliterated, and some meteorites from outer space were shattered by the rising sharpness. It was clear that if it was not stopped, the holy city would surely be sunk and nothing would exist!

"what……"

A desperate cry of defiance rang out, and a great demon fell from the blinding ball of light, covered in blood, half of its body broken off, and the other half of its spirit turned to dust.

He retreated step by step in the void, huge cracks appearing beneath his feet that spread for tens or even hundreds of miles. If the final aftershocks were like this, one can imagine the heavy blow he had just suffered.

"Hateful!"

The great demon roared to the sky, his whole body trembling, wanting to fight again, but he didn't expect that he had no chance anymore.

A dragon-shaped sword aura swept across the sky, severing its head and resting it on the blade.

"puff!"

With a soft thud, Da Mo's head exploded, leaving a bloody mess, and his primordial spirit vanished.

Everyone looked up and saw a heroic young man, dressed in a black robe with long black hair, walking step by step from the void. The dragon-shaped sword energy let out a long roar, fell back into his hand, and transformed into a black and gold divine sword with dragon patterns.

This scene, witnessed by onlookers, sent shivers down their spines.

Many people have read in ancient books that the young emperor was extraordinary, sweeping all before him on his path of cultivation, rarely encountering any opponents, leaving all his contemporaries in despair.

I initially thought it was just empty praise, but now that I've seen it, I realize that its great reputation is well-deserved. What does "invincible" even mean?
