Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road, a road that had been silent for countless years, is now completely bustling with activity.

Between the broken stars, the light of the Great Dao colliding was everywhere.

Almost all the prodigies cultivated by the major imperial clans, holy lands, and supreme lineages of the human race have gathered here.

There are also ancient monsters awakened from divine sources, or the bloodlines left behind by ancient emperors.

Even the sons and direct disciples of the five great emperors of our time!

Everyone is moving forward.

Because at the end of the ancient starry road, a faintly visible golden road has emerged from the depths of the myriad paths.

That is the true Emperor's Path. As long as you break through the ancient starry sky road, defeat all the geniuses of your generation, and embark on that Emperor's Path, you will have the opportunity to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal and become the sixth human emperor of this era!

In the past, only one emperor could reign in a single era.

No matter how amazing the successors are, they can only wait for the fall of the previous emperor.

But things are different now; the Heavenly Emperor Seal is damaged.

The five emperors have proven that there can be far more than one emperor in this era.

If a fifth emperor can appear, why can't the sixth be myself?

To secure this position, the major powers have practically exhausted their resources.

Behind the eldest son of the imperial family, there were protectors wielding quasi-imperial weapons.

The descendants of the Holy Land possess the essence and blood of the Great Emperor left by their ancestors.

Some ancient freaks, having just embarked on the ancient path, unleashed forbidden weapons powerful enough to kill quasi-emperors.

Family background, physique, cultivation techniques, weapons, protectors—everything that can be utilized becomes part of the struggle for the Emperor's Path.

of course there are exceptions.

At the forefront of the ancient starry road, two figures traversed the sea of ​​stars, shattering countless barriers along the way and leaving all the geniuses behind them far behind.

One of them was named Ye Hei, who came from the Imperial Ruins but was not a descendant of any imperial clan.

This person has a mysterious origin; he has cultivated for only a few hundred years, yet his sacred body has already achieved true mastery.

He swept through the younger generation of the Imperial Ruins, and few, whether imperial sons, divine bodies, or ancient freaks, could withstand more than a hundred moves from him.

His opponent was Cang Jue, the strongest successor of the current generation of the Overlord Ancestral Star.

It's also the Great Accomplishment Overlord Body!

The two fought their way from level 70 to level 86 on the ancient road.

Golden blood and purple domineering blood pierced through the starry sea.

Along the way, the array patterns, ancient cities, and even passes all collapsed during their battles.

They belong to the first tier, and in the entire universe, only they can be each other's true enemies.

Following the two were the second tier of the Imperial Road.

There were only a dozen or so people, but among them, the one with the lowest cultivation level had already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Any one of them, if placed on an ordinary ancient planet, would be an unparalleled genius capable of dominating an entire era.

Only when placed on this ancient road that gathers the fortune of the entire universe does their radiance seem less dazzling.

boom!

Outside the 83rd level.

A divine image covering half the starry sky suddenly unfolded, and within the image, nine ancient stars lit up one after another.

On each star stood a phantom of a god, and all nine gods opened their eyes at the same time.

Brilliant divine light descended from different directions, instantly sealing off all escape routes for the young man in black.

"town!"

The nine divine lights merged into one!

The young man in black crossed his arms in front of him.

A surge of emerald green blood mixed with dark green aura shot into the sky, transforming behind it into a vast expanse of Northern Xuan Mountains and Rivers.

Life thrives amidst mountains and rivers.

Even if torn apart by divine light, it will heal itself at an extremely fast speed.

But this time, the opposing force was too strong.

boom!!!

Nine divine lights pierced through the center of the Northern Xuan Mountains and Rivers.

The young man in black shuddered violently, the sound of bones cracking emanating from his arms. He was sent flying backward, crashing into three broken meteorites before finally coming to a stop.

A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, but he forced it back down.

The Northern Profound Body is indeed adept at recovery. With the flow of Northern Profound spiritual energy within its body, the broken hand bones quickly reconnected, and the cracks between the internal organs gradually healed.

It can be restored, but it also requires consuming the source energy.

Having fought his way here, he no longer had much of his essence left to expend.

Opposite them, a young man dressed in a star-patterned robe stepped out of the divine diagram.

This person is named Lu Shenxiao, and possesses the Nine Luminaries Divine Body.

He is also the strongest successor of this generation of a supreme lineage in the Imperial Court Starfield.

No protectors appeared behind Lu Shenxiao.

But further away in the starry sky, the aura of a quasi-emperor at the ninth level could be faintly seen.

That aura didn't directly intervene, but it was enough to ensure that Lu Shenxiao could escape the ancient path alive if he truly encountered a dead end.

This is what constitutes a profound foundation.

The young man in black did not appear.

He didn't have any powerful or supreme lineage behind him, nor did he have any strong protectors.

Even the weapon in his hand was just a broken quasi-emperor weapon that he had seized along the way.

All he had was himself.

Lu Shenxiao looked at him and gently shook his head.

"Gu Xuanzhou, you've already done a remarkable job to get this far with your Northern Profound Body."

This statement wasn't entirely sarcastic.

Among all the special physiques in the universe, the Northern Profound Body can only be considered above average, and cannot be compared with the Holy Body or the Overlord Body.

Even many royal and divine bodies can overpower it in a direct confrontation.

Gu Xuanzhou, however, relied on this physique to fight his way up to the second tier.

At the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, among countless ancient life-bearing stars, there are very few cultivators of the same generation who can truly reach this stage.

Unfortunately, this is the Imperial Road.

All people are fighting for is that one and only outcome.

This is not a place for you.

Lu Shenxiao raised his hand, and the Nine Luminaries Divine Diagram behind him lit up again.

"If you are willing to back down, I can spare your life."

Gu Xuanzhou stood atop the shattered star and glanced down at the battle blade in his hand, which had already developed cracks.

Then he shook his head.

"I can't back out."

Lu Shenxiao frowned slightly.

Why?

Gu Xuanzhou did not answer.

But scene after scene was already flashing uncontrollably before my eyes.

At that time, the Gu family of Beixuan was still on Xuanheng Ancient Star.

He had just completed his Northern Profound Body when he was suppressed by the protector of the Daoist disciple of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect, who forcibly extracted the Northern Profound Spiritual Energy from his body.

Everyone told him to endure it.

Only the ancestor, who had been in seclusion for many years and was almost forgotten by his clan, suddenly stepped out of his cave with a sword in hand.

That day, the Northern Xuan Domain was stained with blood.

That day, the Gu family of Beixuan underwent a complete transformation.

Standing atop the mountains, the ancestor uttered a sentence that stirred the blood of countless young members of the Gu family.

My Northern Profound Body will never be weaker than anyone else in my entire life!

Gu Xuanzhou once thought that the Gu family was finally about to rise to prominence.

But after that patriarch went to the holy land to question his crimes, he never returned.

Not long after, disaster struck. The protective formation of the clan shattered, the sacred mountain collapsed, and clansmen fell one after another behind them.

He was shoved into a dilapidated teleportation array deep within the ancestral hall by several clan elders, which allowed him to escape the Xuanheng Ancient Star by sheer luck.

Later, he fell into a secret realm amidst starry ruins and obtained the legacy left by an unnamed quasi-emperor.

If there are no cultivation pills or spiritual herbs, then we'll just steal them.

If you don't have a suitable weapon, then take it from the enemy.

Without a protector, one must gamble with one's life every time.

When he finally cultivated to become a Quasi-Emperor and returned to Xuanheng Ancient Star, only empty cities remained.

The Gu family of Beixuan is gone; not even a single person who could call him by name remains.

From that day on, Gu Xuanzhou had only one thought in his mind.

Break through the ancient path of the starry sky, tread the path of the gods, and prove the Dao of the Great Emperor!

When that time comes, he will be able to re-establish the Beixuan Gu family.

The Gu family, established by the Emperor himself.

They should be considered an imperial family, right?

From now on, no one will dare to treat the Northern Profound Body as a medicine person whose spiritual energy can be extracted at will.

Unfortunately, it seems I won't be able to get there.

Gu Xuanzhou looked up.

The Nine Luminaries Divine Diagram has been completely suppressed.

Lu Shenxiao stood calmly in the center of the nine phantom images of gods.

"Since you won't back down, then let's stop here!"

boom!

The nine divine lights, powerful enough to obliterate the origin of a quasi-emperor, merged into one.

It illuminated Gu Xuanzhou's face, which had already lost much of its color.

The divine light drew ever closer.

The broken knife in his hand shattered completely at that moment.
