The main peak of Kunlun Mountain towered into the clouds. No one knew what lay beyond the summit.
They only knew that it was a path to heaven, a path that led to the outside world, a path to escape this abandoned land.
Since ancient times, there had been too many legends about the path to heaven. However, no matter how they spread, there was not much useful information.
Xiao Chen's figure entered the clouds, completely vanishing from everyone's sight.
The instant he passed through the clouds, Xiao Chen's body felt relaxed for some reason. It was like the restrictions he was born with in his body disappeared.
Xiao Chen understood that the Heavenly Dao could no longer affect this place. The laws could no longer restrict him.
After calming himself, Xiao Chen continued forward. The mountain path was rugged. Slowly, the environment on both sides changed at some point in time.
The clouds were no longer there. Both sides were empty. There were many spatial storms in the empty space. When the countless spatial shards blew by, they flew around like shards of glass.
As Xiao Chen walked on the mountain path, he felt the might of the spatial shards. He no longer dared to underestimate them, so he carefully avoided these spatial shards.
The spatial shards here were on a completely different level from those in the Kunlun Realm. The space here was clearly of a higher level.
For example, it was like the difference between the Sky Dome Realm and the Kunlun Realm.
This place should be a transition point between the Kunlun Realm and the outside world. The space in the outside world should be of a higher level.
Earlier, a spatial shard passed by Xiao Chen. He had been somewhat careless.
Who could have imagined that it would leave a one-centimeter-deep wound when it passed by him? It was very scary.
Xiao Chen looked at the summit. He did not know how long he would have to walk to the peak.
Furthermore, he did not dare to fly here. As he walked, the danger of getting cut by the spatial shards would increase.
If he were unlucky and got swallowed up by a spatial storm, Xiao Chen did not dare to imagine that scene.
No wonder this Kunlun Road was also known as a dead end.
Clenching his teeth, Xiao Chen walked forward step by step, carefully avoiding the spatial shards. If he could not avoid them, he would use his saber to chop them apart.
As the top bladesman of the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen's skills with the saber had already reached great heights.
Sometimes, when he could not chop the spatial shards apart, he would use force to break them.
"Oh no!"
A spatial storm passed above Xiao Chen without any warning. A strong suction pulled his body down.
Blue Dragon Divine Wings!
Greatly startled, Xiao Chen quickly unfurled his Blue Dragon Divine Wings and struggled against the suction of the spatial storm.
Xiao Chen's body spun continuously under the spatial storm, unable to control it.
In the spatial storm, many spatial shards flew over.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen's Movement Technique, the Fish Dragon Art, was very proficient in dodging over a short distance.
Otherwise, even if they weren't pulled into the storm, they would be cut into pieces by the spatial fragments.
When the spatial storm drifted away from his head, his body landed on the ground. "Ka ca!" It sounded like something had shattered.
The startled Xiao Chen looked down and saw a rotting corpse. He did not know how long it had been there.
His original Sovereign Body had already completely decayed, and he crushed it with a single stomp when he landed.
Beside his palm, there was a rusty broken knife.
"I'm sorry, Senior. It was unintentional."
Xiao Chen said softly. This was a senior bladesman whom he had accidentally crushed.
For this senior to be able to leave a corpse on the Kunlun Road and not dismembered on the spot, he must have been a famous person in the Kunlun Realm.
Sighing, Xiao Chen continued on his way.
The rest of the road was littered with skeletons. Every short distance they walked, they would see a skeleton.
The pressure on the mountain increased. Slowly, it became difficult to even lift one's feet. However, there was still a long distance to the top.
Suddenly, he realized that it had been a long time since he had seen any corpses. Xiao Chen came to his senses and stopped in his tracks.
Why weren't there any corpses? Clearly, this was a forbidden zone. Most of the people who charged into this place didn't leave behind any corpses.
Hu chi!
Suddenly, three spatial storms blew over from above. Xiao Chen paled slightly.
Before Xiao Chen could react, he was lifted into the air, flying towards the center of the three spatial storms.
Xiao Chen struggled with all his might. At the same time, he circulated his Vital Qi. Strands of dragon-shaped energy moved around and gathered into two cauldrons.
With a loud shout, Xiao Chen punched the air three times. Each punch boomed like thunder. He used the huge rebound to push himself back.
As for the spatial shards flying over, Xiao Chen simply ignored them. He could only let these blind shards fly past his body.
After punching ten times, Xiao Chen, who had exhausted all his Vital Qi, finally landed on the ground.
Xiao Chen's body was covered in wounds, dripping with blood. His white robes were dyed scarlet.
His injuries and fatigue prevented Xiao Chen from continuing forward. He could only stop to rest and recover from his injuries, recuperating his Vital Qi.
Even when resting, Xiao Chen had to be careful. He looked around and paid attention at all times, unable to relax.
This was because the spatial storms here did not follow any pattern.
It looked like the summit was less than a kilometer away. However, for some reason, Xiao Chen felt that it was a very, very distant place.
After that, with every step he took, he would experience three — even four — spatial storms. Toward the end, there would be even more terrifying spatial tears.
These spatial tears would close instantly. If he was not careful and got pulled in, he did not know when he would come out again.
It might be a hundred years later, or it might be a lifetime.
On this one-kilometer path, Xiao Chen took three steps forward and took one step back. He even had to rest midway, walking for more than forty days.
After almost one and a half months, he finally arrived at the summit.
This period of time was truly a nightmare. In the future, Xiao Chen would not want to recall this experience.
It was too torturous.
Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked at the Kunlun Road, entering deep thought.
Even Xiao Chen was in such a sorry state. If the Primes of the Kunlun Realm wanted to take this path, they would die for sure.
This path should not be so difficult. It was practically a path of death. Something must have happened, resulting in such difficulty. Perhaps the people of the Black Lotus Church really did something to it.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze. There was no longer any path ahead. He looked up and saw a huge spatial whirlpool in the distant sky.
"Is this the spatial tunnel to leave the Kunlun Realm?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, looking travel-worn as he looked at that spatial whirlpool.
Go!
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and did not hesitate to fly towards that spatial whirlpool.
At this final step, it was much safer. He did not run into any trouble as he ascended.
However, just as Xiao Chen was about to reach the spatial whirlpool, something strange happened.
Black lotus flowers flew out of the spatial whirlpool and quickly formed a huge hand that smashed at Xiao Chen.
A strong force gathered in the palm. When the pressure pressed down, Xiao Chen felt like he was suffocating.
"Sharp Spirit Finger!"
With this finger, Xiao Chen retreated quickly. Then, cracks appeared in that huge black palm.
The cracks quickly mended, but the palm continued to descend on him, wanting to squash him to death.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Cloud Reaching Stance!"
Xiao Chen did not hesitate to execute the Flawless Saber Technique's Cloud Reaching Stance. Lofty aspirations surged in Xiao Chen's chest. His blood surged as he soared into the sky.
"Ka ca!" The saber struck that huge palm, and cracks spread out again.
"Ice Blood Lightning Dragon!"
Ice-attributed and lightning-attributed energies merged in Xiao Chen's left palm. A drop of blood dripped from his palm, and a berserk tricolor dragon appeared. Then, the wind blew and the huge palm ferociously smashed into it.
After a series of strikes, the huge black palm suddenly scattered, turning into many lotus flowers drifting in the air.
Xiao Chen's heart sank. To think that the lotus flowers were not destroyed and still showed signs of regathering.
However, the speed of regathering was extremely slow. Xiao Chen thought to himself, Indeed, the Black Lotus Church did something.
Aside from me, no one in the Kunlun Realm can block that earlier strike.
Xiao Chen wanted to completely destroy these lotus flowers. However, after trying a few times, he discovered that after the lotus flowers shattered, they would still split into countless lotus flowers.
This was very similar to the Thunder Hell that the Thunder King once executed when he possessed the Demonic God.
This would only slow down the speed of the black lotus flowers regathering. It would not be of much use.
"Never mind. I'll enter the spatial whirlpool first."
Xiao Chen shook his head and chose to give up. Then, his figure flashed into the spatial whirlpool.
