Chapter 371 The Road of Bloodshed
The road to success is arduous, and it has always been filled with blood and tears. Some people not only have to face a host of formidable enemies on the ancient road, but also face the threat of being wiped out by invincible figures.

Qi Zhe's experience was not an isolated case; it has happened more than once in ancient history, throughout the vast universe, leaving behind astonishing records.

Many people who embarked on the ancient road never returned to their homeland. The Chaotic Emperor suffered the most tragic fate, as all those associated with him were killed.

He himself had countless near-death experiences, his Dao heart was shattered, and he only managed to reverse the situation after a hundred defeats gave birth to a demonic fetus.

The once unparalleled Demon Emperor, after embarking on the ancient path, has been striving ever since. He spent five hundred years attaining enlightenment, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths, but looking back, he missed the love of his life.

Qi Zhe is now ahead of the world, making it difficult for other heroes to catch up, but he has also attracted the attention of the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone, who wants to reach out and strangle him.

"Having survived, is it the rising of a great sun, or a final leap before the curtain falls? Will there be a next time?"

People were amazed that he had survived a near-death experience, living through such a desperate situation without completely perishing, and managed to enter the nine imperial passes.

However, this also caused concern among the people. Some people saw through Qi Zhe's cultivation and realm, and knew that he was still some time away from attaining enlightenment.

If he were to continue undergoing tribulation, it would undoubtedly be a great ordeal, and Qi Zhe would face something several times more intense than what he was facing now.

A silence fell over the underworld. Many people felt regretful, realizing that the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone had backed down and actually let Qi Zhe go.

"He got away!" A roar echoed from the Underworld Palace, followed by silence as black mist churned and surged.

The many cultivators in the Underworld remained silent, for they knew very well the reason for the Underworld Emperor's anger; Qi Zhe had become a major concern for the Underworld.

But who can subdue him now? The Lord of the Underworld is searching for him, and if he encounters him, he will perish, causing the Underworld to lose another Lord.

"Bring back Yama!"

At this moment, an unwilling roar came from the Underworld Palace. The Lord of the Underworld felt that Qi Zhe had become a force to be reckoned with, and no one except the ancient supreme beings could defeat him.

Meanwhile, in the Phoenix Nest, which rises and falls in the chaotic universe, two ancient gods were also silent, and upon awakening, they witnessed an astonishing scene.

"We have been asleep for countless ages and are no longer at our peak." Kun Tian Divine General looked dazed, and even the summoning of the Undying Empress made him feel troubled.

The ambitious Immortal Queen hoped to attain enlightenment in one lifetime and thus dominate the world, so she specially awakened them from their seal.

But their era has long passed. They were almost destroyed in ancient times. What good is it that they followed the Immortal Emperor? What's gone is gone and can never be brought back.

If they are allowed to kill Qi Zhe now, it is very likely that it will all be in vain, unless they have a complete Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that can bring them back to the peak of the Primordial Era.

But how could that be? The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is extremely rare. Even the Undying Emperor could hardly produce it, leaving only some remnants for them.

A silence fell over the Phoenix Nest. Even the Undying Empress was speechless, feeling that she had awakened a little too late and should have returned hundreds of years earlier.

"laugh!"

At this moment, several figures appeared in front of the Imperial Pass, their eyes gleaming as they looked at the flashing lightning.

They were the elites who had lingered near the Imperial Pass. Now, looking at the Imperial Pass that had been breached, they remained silent, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

"What a pity, after waiting for eternity, someone else has already gotten there first." A hero sighed, lingering for a moment before heading towards the starry sky.

He was an emperor, a remarkable figure whose name was inscribed on the Heavenly Stele, ranking fiftieth on the stele, and his origins were truly astonishing.

He was the disciple of the Emperor, and his talent was unparalleled throughout history. In a certain era of the Primordial Era, he once single-handedly blocked the Imperial Pass and killed all the Great Saints who came here.

But now he feels some regret, feeling that he missed out on this life, as an extraordinary person rose up and left everything behind.

"It's time to leave; the path to immortality is near."

Not far away, a figure dressed in pristine white whispered. His name was Taichu, a celestial being born from the ancient Taichu Mine. Now he too was leaving, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would head to the Big Dipper to await the arrival of the path to immortality.

The path to becoming an emperor in this life is full of unpredictable changes. He was originally the first person to arrive here and leave his mark, but he did not expect Qi Zhe to be so strong.

"Brother Qi!"

Not far away, a simple figure sighed. It was Zhang Bairen. At this moment, he could only shake his head and leave. Qi Zhe's trajectory was too outrageous, something he had never expected.

Many prodigies on this ancient path have been overshadowed as a result. Qi Zhe is undergoing tribulation in the starry sky once again, and he is not far from attaining enlightenment.

They had no hope of competing with him, and even thought that Qi Zhe would most likely not be stopped, since even the Supreme One couldn't defeat him, and that he would continue to triumph.

This starry sky is so vast, with countless geniuses, but from today onwards, they will all have to bow down. Even quasi-emperors feel powerless.

"laugh!"

Even those who had been hiding in the shadows felt a sense of urgency, as a golden divine egg in an unknown part of the starry sky was now shaking in its nest.

The divine egg vibrated in the nest built of fire mulberry wood, gradually absorbing the essence of chaos, with thousands of runes flashing on it.

"Is he trying to achieve enlightenment? To compete with me!"

Whispers echoed continuously within the nest, and waves of divine thought swept across the ten directions, tearing apart the nearby chaotic void and revealing astonishing scenes.

This chaotic area was submerged in golden light, and one after another, the Fusang Divine Trees manifested in the chaos, as if the Valley of Tang from mythology had truly appeared.

Nine suns soared across the sky, celestial spirits roared to the heavens, and a figure as radiant as the sun rose, surveying the surroundings from the chaos with a blue aura above him.

"Delusion!"

The next moment, the divine egg stopped vibrating, and the creature inside struggled to break free of its shackles. It wanted to be born and no longer wanted to remain dormant.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, boundless lightning was piercing through the formidable pass, causing Qi Zhe, who was inside, to tremble repeatedly. He was undergoing tribulation and also enduring the threat of death.

Everything outside was irrelevant to him; he wanted to continue his struggle, unwilling to stop there, and even less willing to die in the formidable pass.

"I survived, and I will keep going!" Qi Zhe's gaze was incredibly firm as he faced the tribulation through the stone gate amidst endless lightning, overcoming one obstacle after another with each step.

Now that he has already stormed into the Imperial Pass, he should not stop. He should go to the Imperial Palace and comprehend its wonders.

But this path is difficult, and even Qi Zhe must be cautious. Every step within the Ninefold Imperial Pass is fraught with danger, let alone the fact that he is undergoing tribulation.

"laugh!"

Qi Zhe's shoulder was bleeding, constantly injured under the heavenly tribulation, to the point that he had to stop and begin to focus all his efforts on overcoming the tribulation.

A thousand thunderbolts crashed down upon the majestic pass, causing the imperial array patterns within to flicker incessantly, and an astonishing killing power to continuously spread.

Countless buildings collapsed in the pass, and even those that had stood for eternity could not survive, turning to dust under the calamity and murderous intent.

"Heavenly tribulations cannot stop me; attaining enlightenment is not far off!"

But none of this could stop Qi Zhe. He stood on the imperial formation and roared. Lightning struck him but he could not be shaken, and the killing intent could not kill him.
