Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"Indeed, his resolve to attain the Dao is too strong. He never backs down and never doubts himself. This is the kind of mindset required to attain the Dao."

"That's right, that's what I admire most about Martial Venerable Lin Dong. He doesn't have a special physique or a heaven-defying background. He relied entirely on himself to fight his way up step by step. That's truly inspiring."

"Yes, his story has inspired countless ordinary cultivators. Who says you can't become a top genius without a good background? Lin Dong is the best example."

"The younger generation in my family now all take Lin Dong as their role model, and they dare not slack off in their daily cultivation."

Everyone was deeply moved, their eyes filled with admiration.

Lin Dong's rise to power was not marked by any extraordinary adventures or the protection of any powerful figures.

He earned his place by fighting his way up, punch by punch, with that indomitable spirit.

This kind of experience resonates most with ordinary monks. Many say that Lin Dong is a role model for them.

……

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past century, the struggle for supremacy among the most outstanding talents has intensified.

Some rise to prominence, some fall from grace; some achieve instant fame, some fade into obscurity.

The Imperial Road has always been like this: cruel yet dazzling, only the strongest can reach the end.

Long Zhan, Yao Ye, and Li Tianxing became the three most dazzling talents of this generation.

With the blessing of the true dragon bloodline, Long Zhan's physical body was invincible, and no one of his level could withstand a single punch from him.

He swept through the enemy lines, defeating many formidable opponents and achieving remarkable victories.

His Dragon Fist is domineering and unparalleled. Every time he strikes, it is accompanied by a deafening dragon roar. His opponents often cannot even withstand a single punch from him.

With the evolution of his demon bloodline and the true teachings of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, Yao Yetian possessed overwhelming demonic power, making him virtually invincible among his peers.

His fighting style is unpredictable and his demonic aura takes human form, making him impossible to defend against.

The most surprising one was Li Tianxing.

He had no supreme bloodline, no powerful family heritage, and was just an ordinary cultivator who came from a small immortal realm.

But he has a heart that refuses to be ordinary and a fierce determination that refuses to admit defeat.

He honed his skills relentlessly in the Great Luo Heaven instance, being knocked down time and time again, only to rise again and again.

Finally, he obtained a fragment of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture in a dungeon, and from then on, he was hooked.

His strength increased rapidly, and he defeated one Supreme Son after another. Even Long Zhan and Yao Ye had suffered losses at his hands.

He is a true dark horse, the most unexpected figure among this generation of prodigies.

"Li Tianxing has won again! He defeated Qiongqizi!"

"This guy is too fierce! He doesn't have the bloodline of a supreme being, yet he managed to defeat a supreme being's son. That's amazing!"

"I heard he spends all his time in the Great Luo Heaven dungeon, grinding like crazy. He gets killed and just resurrects to keep fighting. Who can match that kind of reckless training?"

Everyone marveled that Li Tianxing's rise to prominence was a combination of talent, hard work, and opportunity, none of which could be lacking.

The supreme beings of both realms were quite surprised by Li Tianxing's rise to power.

Longgu Tianzun stroked his beard and said calmly, "This boy has a resolute character; given time, he may very well achieve great things."

The Heavenly Demon Emperor nodded: "Without a background or bloodline, it is indeed remarkable that they have reached this point."

Taiyuan Ancient Emperor laughed and said, "This kid is a bit like that Martial Venerable Lin Dong."

Emperor Shangyang agreed: "Indeed, they all rose from the bottom, and they all have that ruthlessness."

The Supreme Beings nodded in agreement, casting admiring glances at Li Tianxing.

At the Supreme level, they had seen too many geniuses, but someone like Li Tianxing, who had achieved everything entirely through his own hard work, made them look at him with even greater respect.

The Supreme Being of the Lesser Immortal Realm was also quite happy; Li Tianxing had proven that their Lesser Immortal Realm could indeed produce talented individuals.

In the Great Luo Heaven, Jiang Hao's Dao Fruit Body, the Great Heavenly Venerable, naturally also noticed Li Tianxing's rise.

Jiang Hao's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Without bloodline or background, relying entirely on oneself, such a person is even rarer than those Supreme Sons," Jiang Hao thought to himself.

"That's right, this is exactly the kind of mentality that the Imperial Road needs. Let's see how far you can go in the end."

He withdrew his gaze and continued to immerse himself in cultivation. He didn't pay any special attention to him; the benefits of the Great Luo Heaven were already sufficient, and there was no need for anything extra.

Li Tianxing's rise has also intensified the discussion among cultivators from both realms about the struggle for the Emperor's Path.

Besides Long Zhan, Yao Ye, and Li Tianxing, many other prodigies are shining brightly.

Purple Feather, Azure Edge, Crimson Flame, Spiritual Charm, Shaking Star, Qiongqizi, Taiyuanzi...

They each have their own strengths and are all striving forward on the path to becoming emperors. But everyone knows that only a very few can seize the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

"Who will attain enlightenment in this lifetime?"

"Long Zhan, right? His true dragon bloodline is too strong, and with the guidance of the Dragon Ancient Celestial Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, his chances are very high."

"Yao Ye is no less impressive. His Heavenly Demon bloodline has evolved to its peak, and the Heavenly Demon Emperor has high hopes for him."

"What about Li Tianxing? I think he also has a chance. His progress is too fast, and no one can match his fighting spirit."

"That's right. Although Li Tianxing comes from an ordinary background, he now has the fragment of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture and has been tempered in the Great Luo Heaven for so long. His foundation has been replenished. Maybe he can go all the way. I really hope to see this scene of an ordinary person proving the Dao."

Of course, some people disagreed: "Although Li Tianxing rose to power quickly, his foundation is still lacking. Proving the Dao is not something that can be achieved by simply working hard. Long Zhan and Yao Ye were raised by the Supreme Being from a young age and have an innate advantage."

"That makes sense. Li Tianxing needs more time to process things."

The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, each with their own opinions.

"No matter what, the battle for the throne in this lifetime is absolutely spectacular."

"Yes, Long Zhan, Yao Ye, Li Tianxing, and the invincible Lin Dong from the previous generation. Who will have the last laugh? Nobody knows."

"Just wait and see."

……

At the intersection of the two realms, chaos surged, and Jiang Hao's cultivation continued, becoming even more intense.

He stood in the void, letting the mortal energy of the human realm and the celestial energy of the immortal realm press down on him at the same time.

Two forces, like two divine mountains, rolled in from both sides, his bones creaking and his flesh being torn apart and instantly repaired by the runes of the Undying Scripture.

With each breath, countless Dao runes surged from his body, circulated around him, and then returned to his body.

His body repeatedly cycled between breaking down and rebuilding, and with each cycle, his aura grew stronger.

The runes of the Immortal Scripture are deeply merging with his Chaos Dao.

Those runes etched into the bones and branded into the primordial spirit rearranged with each breakage and deepened their imprint with each reconstruction.

Jiang Hao's body instinctively guided the two forces to impact every part of his body, from bone marrow to flesh and blood, from meridians to primordial spirit, leaving no place untouched.

Moreover, Jiang Hao is not only cultivating the Undying Scripture.

His eighth transformation is also underway.

The profound meaning of the Immortal Scripture coincides with the transformation of the mortal immortal path; both are about rebirth in destruction and immortality in shattering.

The power of the two forces converged within him, like two torrents colliding and creating countless ripples.

His body kept breaking apart and healing under this force, his blood splashing in the void, only to be drawn back by the runes of the Undying Scripture and reintegrated into his body.

Jiang Hao's aura was rising steadily. With each breakage and reconstruction, his physical body became stronger and his vitality became more vigorous.

If Jiang Hao completes the Undying Scripture and his eighth incarnation transformation, his strength will increase significantly once again.
