Just as they were talking, another powerful aura erupted.
"The Heart Prison has also broken through."
Feeling the aura, Qiong Ying and Qing Chuan's hearts shook. They narrowed their eyes and looked at the Heart Prison.
"Haha, I've finally broken through to rank 5, haha …"
As his cultivation broke through, there was a deafening laugh of excitement.
The Heart Prison's aura was tremendous and the Origin Energy was boundless. It was almost the same as Qiong Ying's breakthrough.
"Hmm, the aura of a human."
After laughing, the Heart Prison suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Qiong Ying. His pupils constricted.
"It's you."
Because of Qiong Ying's breakthrough, Yan Wuque's concealment technique was no longer effective, so Qiong Ying's aura was not hidden at all. He was like a lantern in the darkness, extremely eye-catching.
"We've been discovered."
Seeing this, Qiong Ying and Qing Chuan looked at each other and saw the bitter smiles in each other's eyes.
They originally wanted to hide after Yan Wuque came out, but the Heart Prison's talent was not weak either. He followed Qiong Ying closely.
But so what if they were discovered.
After a bitter smile, Qiong Ying and Qing Chuan nodded and released their auras at the same time.
Since they had been discovered, they could only kill him.
"You really are not from the Prison clan."
Seeing them attack without saying anything, the Heart Prison's eyes narrowed and a murderous aura flashed.
Back when they were outside the Hell Emperor's tomb, he had already suspected that Fenghao and the others weren't from the Prison Clan. However, Fenghao had hidden himself too well at the time, and he didn't have any evidence, so this thought had only flashed through his mind.
Now that Qiong Ying and Qing Chuan had revealed themselves, he could not help but be surprised.
However, it was only a moment of surprise. In his eyes, Qiong Ying and Qing Chuan were already dead.
"You want to die? I'll help you."
With a low roar, the long sword floated in the air and turned into a sharp sword light that pierced towards Qiong Ying.
Of course, he did not just stand there. As he controlled the sword, his rank 5 Origin aura completely erupted. Clenching his fist, he punched towards Qing Chuan.
"Brother Qing, help me out."
"Alright."
Qiong Ying's heart sank when he saw that the Prison Heart Sword was going all out. He knew that Qing Chuan was no longer a match for the Prison Heart Sword. If he could not withstand this attack, Qing Chuan would most likely die on the spot.
Thus, upon seeing that Qing Chuan had agreed to it, he waved his hand and a mace that exuded a destructive aura appeared in his hand.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan somersaulted in the air, bringing with him a boundless might, and smashed against the sword, instantly knocking it away.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Qing Chuan in a flash, his mace dragging through the void, creating countless waves.
"Wolf Fang Smash!"
As he dragged it, the mace rapidly grew in size. In the blink of an eye, it had become a gigantic metal mace that was more than 50 meters long. With a shocking aura, it smashed towards the Prison Heart Sword.
"You've also broken through to rank 5 Origin Source!"
Feeling the terrifying aura, Yu Xinjian's heart sank and his expression became extremely ugly. Gritting his teeth, he called back the longsword and gripped the hilt. The longsword spun rapidly in his hand and instantly turned into a gigantic sword of the same size.
Then, without hesitation, he thrust the mace forward, while he retreated rapidly to the edge of the Monarch's Road.
"Boom …"
With a loud sound, a shockwave shot into the sky. The mace was knocked back while the gigantic sword was knocked away, returning to the two's hands.
They were evenly matched.
The Prison Heart Sword no longer looked like he had everything under his control. There was only a gloomy expression.
He had never thought that Qiong Ying had been a peak rank 4 Origin Source expert from the very beginning. Now that he had broken through to rank 5, his strength was no weaker than his own. For a moment, he felt like he could not do anything.
Qiong Ying also frowned. His eyes flickered as he looked at the gloomy Prison Heart Sword.
Originally, he had wanted to hide his presence and find an opportunity to kill the Dark Prison Heart Sword. However, he had never thought that the Prison Heart Sword would be so cautious and test him and Qing Chuan at the same time, causing him to reveal his strength in order to save Qing Chuan.
It would probably not be so easy to kill the Prison Heart Sword now.
"Brother Ying, what do we do?"
Seeing the two of them stop, a sliver of apology flashed across Qing Chuan's eyes. He arrived beside Qiong Ying and asked softly.
He could fight against a rank 5 Origin Source cultivator, but that was against an ordinary rank 5 Origin Source cultivator. He was not an expert like the Prison Heart Sword who could challenge those of a higher cultivation level. He was already not weaker than Qing Chuan when he was at rank 4 Origin Source, let alone now that he had broken through to rank 5 Origin Source.
He was even less of a match for him.
"Let's see how it goes."
Qiong Ying shook his head slightly, his expression serious.
For a moment, the three of them fell into a stalemate.
On the emperor's road, Feng Hao finally began to slowly stand up. His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body was trembling.
Since he was going to walk over, he had to stand up and walk into the Black Tower step by step against the huge pressure.
Fortunately, Feng Hao's willpower was strong. Although his body was in endless pain, he could endure. As long as he did not directly explode from the pressure, he did not believe that he could not walk over a distance of 10,000 meters.
"Perhaps I can use this pressure to break through my physical body."
There were pros and cons. Wasn't the huge pressure also a method of cultivation?
As Xiao Chen thought this, the Source Power in his body began to circulate. Although it was very slow, he could at least move it. As long as he could circulate it throughout his body, he would feel much more relaxed.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Feng Hao was still standing in the same spot. However, he was now almost completely upright, and the Source Power in his body had almost completed one cycle.
"Quick, quick!"
Feng Hao roared in his heart. Veins bulged all over his body, wriggling like maggots. Added with the huge pressure, his legs trembled, and his face flushed red. It looked like his body would explode and die at any moment.
"Boom!"
Fenghao didn't know how much time had passed, but all of a sudden, he seemed to hear a huge explosion in his body. Following that, his blood and qi surged, and his origin energy surged endlessly. It was as if a sluice gate had been opened, pouring out.
After one cycle, his physical body had been strengthened.
Almost at the same time, the huge pressure that had been suppressing his body also mostly disappeared at this moment. He felt incredibly relaxed.
"Unexpectedly, the first to break through is my physical body."
Xiao Chen clenched his fist, a smile appearing on his face.
At first, he had thought that the emperor's road targeted cultivation level. Unexpectedly, it targeted the physical body as well.
Could it be that the emperor's road was all-encompassing? In that case, would the next one target the spirit?
However, before Feng Hao could think about it, a pressure several dozen times more terrifying than before came again. Caught off guard, Feng Hao nearly fell to the ground once more.
"Damn, I was too careless."
Xiao Chen cursed. He pushed his hands against his knees and stood up with great difficulty. At the same time, his Source Power surged furiously, and his body trembled.
"Come."
After saying that, Xiao Chen took a step forward, and the pressure intensified.
His feet sank into the hard grass, and his calf suddenly ruptured, blood gushing out of it.
His physical body had just broken through, and it actually exploded with just one step. It was clear how great the pressure was.
Enduring the intense pain, Xiao Chen circulated his Source Power to heal his calf. However, just as he recovered a little, his calf ruptured once more.
"One step at a time. As expected, it's not that simple."
Faced with such a situation, Feng Hao could only smile bitterly.
Initially, he had thought that as long as he could stand up and slowly walk toward the Black Tower, he would be fine. Unexpectedly, with just one step, the pressure was completely different. It was more than ten times stronger.
"Looks like I'll have to take it slowly."
