Eternal and half-crippled, the number of dead was unknown. There were saints whose bones were crushed in their homes. This was the tragic end of the ten years of bitter war.
The originally flourishing main star had now become a land of destruction. Of course, the ancient race had also left behind many corpses, and no signs of human habitation could be seen for tens of thousands of miles.
The white-haired expert's cold sword light pierced through the nine heavens, sweeping away the ten ancient races. He didn't stop and left with the black sword on his back, leaving behind a legend.
The ancient race's losses weren't small, but their gains were also great. They broke through many holy lands and brought back many precious evolutionary liquids that had been sealed since ancient times.
It seemed like they had returned from a rewarding journey, but the difficulties they had gone through weren't known to outsiders. They ushered in a period of rapid progress. Bloodline inheritances, evolutionary liquids, and other things created a period of glory.
In the Big Dipper Star Field, the myriad races cried out in unison. Many sages descended, and many resplendent heroes rose up, creating many legends.
Ye Fan left, but his disciple, Ye Tong, appeared out of nowhere. He streaked across like a comet, illuminating the earth and perpetuating his legend.
This was because every time Ye Tong won a battle, people would think of the human race's sacred physique. This was his disciple, the continuation of his glory.
Leaves fell, grass and trees fell in autumn, and the stars changed. No matter how brilliant a halo was, there would be a day when it would fade and be forgotten in the long river of time.
The Big Dipper entered the warring states era. Sages continuously poured in, and their disciples also arrived, entering a new golden age.
If this continued, Ye Fan would also be gradually forgotten by people. One after another, resplendent sacred stars appeared. They came from the Skyreach, Huosang, North Star, and many other ancient lands in the outer realms.
Time was just so heartless. The rise of saints and the birth of legends caused many things in the past to fade.
In the cold universe, the darkness was boundless. A lone traveler tasted loneliness in silence. One man and one horse passed through star fields after star fields. Although there were many dangers, Ye Fan's will was firm and unshakable.
The Dragon Horse had also become silent. It was no longer as impatient as it had been in the past. There was a calmness to it, and it was less anxious.
During the ten years of conquest, if one didn't advance, they would retreat. If they advanced, they would be bathed in blood. Along the way, Ye Fan had encountered many accidents, and Longma had almost died several times.
"When will it end?" Longma said softly as it carried Ye Fan along. They arrived at another dead star and observed their surroundings vigilantly. That was because they had suffered greatly before.
Once, when they had just walked out of the Star Door, they were killed by a Saint Ant King due to carelessness. They almost died, but they managed to escape with great difficulty and recuperated for a long time.
Ye Fan was silent. He didn't know when the ancient path would end either. Ten years of exhaustion, ten years of harvest. His dao heart remained unmoved, his will like steel, already adapting to all of this.
"Another grave."
Longma carried Ye Fan on its back. It sprinted across the ancient star and arrived in front of a small mound of earth. There was a stone tablet standing alone with a few lines of words engraved on it. They were bold and forceful.
"Tomb of Godking Jiang Yue." Just this character alone recorded the fall of a generation's heroes. There were many corpses on the path of the most powerful trial by fire. Many people fell on the road.
This should be a monument and grave from tens of thousands of years ago. It was about to collapse because the last bit of sealing power had disappeared.
"Is this kind of price worth it? What exactly are we searching for?" Longma spat out an expanse of flames and raised its head towards the sky.
In this place, Ye Fan and the others didn't encounter any dangers. There were strange beast skeletons on this planet that were as large as mountains, but they had long been extinct.
Another two months passed by in a flash. They killed a group of terrifying specter-like soul bodies and their primordial spirits were tormented. They charged through a hell-like dead star and finally found a turning point.
They found out from the consciousness of a specter saint that there were creatures in the depths of the cosmos ahead. Moreover, they were humans, no longer a dangerous place.
There was no better news than this. The dry and dull journey was finally about to end. This made the man and horse feel a wave of excitement.
"I've had enough. How are we charging through the heavenly path? We're going through hell. The entire star is filled with soul bodies, the entire star is filled with bone spirits … This isn't a human suffering." Longma's body was covered in wounds.
This had long since become a normal thing. During the ten years of bloody battles, even Ye Fan had half of his body chopped off by others. Meanwhile, Longma's primordial spirit had been captured by others.
"If we don't become saints, we might lose our lives at any time while walking on this path. I wonder how they are now." Ye Fan muttered.
Ji Clan's Little Moon, Southern Demon siblings, Central Emperor, Pang Bo, and the others had all stepped onto this path. However, he had still seen some traces left behind by them a long time ago.
"Let's go!"
Ye Fan gazed into the depths of the cosmos. There was no turning back since a long time ago. No matter how dangerous the path ahead was, even if it was the netherworld, he still had to give it a try.
A man and a horse advanced in the desolate cosmos. After more than ten days, they used the small-scaled five-colored sacrificial altar to traverse several times. Finally, they found a special path.
"We've charged out. We've finally reached our destination!" Longma stood up. The horse neighed like thunder. The sturdiness of its divine sense and the intensity of its fluctuations made the meteorites in the surroundings rumble.
The horse stepped through the starry domain. After ten years, it slaughtered out a bloody path and arrived at a starry sky. This place was no longer a dead star. There was a stone tablet leading the way.
Longma left behind a streak of fiery light. It carried Ye Fan and leapt into the heavens, trampling the cosmos until it trembled. After running for two days, they saw dozens of ancient tablets along the way. They pointed forward.
During this process, they saw a few people in succession. They felt a type of vitality and were no longer as deathly silent.
Aohou …
The savage beast roared. It was released through divine sense and there was surging blood energy. It was as if a group of prehistoric vicious beasts were galloping over, causing the starry sky to tremble.
Ye Fan was astonished. He saw a few humans coming over from different directions. In the end, they converged on this path. Many of them were riding mutated beasts that were as large as small mountains.
Some were like Qilong and some were Flood Dragon Devouring Beasts. They had towering horns and thick scales. Killing intent surged. One could tell with a single glance that they had experienced the baptism of life and death.
Ye Fan and Longma slowed down and paid close attention. After advancing for another half a day, they would occasionally see these kinds of people. There were also beautiful and otherworldly women riding on luans, elegant and spirited.
"Are these all the people who stepped onto the ancient path of the most powerful trials? Where did they come from?" Ye Fan thought to himself. There were actually so many people. He had already seen no less than a hundred along the way.
Why did they all rush over at this moment? Could it be that there were some special unforeseen events?
Even Longma was shocked. Were there many ancient stars with life in the starry sky? That wasn't quite possible. They had barged through many star domains and hadn't seen a single one!
"Get lost!"
The armored cavalry behind shook the starry sky. An explosive sound rang through the air. Thirteen riders rode side by side, all of them wearing saint clothes and flickering with cold metallic light. It was as if a steel flood was crushing over.
These mounts were all mutant species from the great wastelands. Every single one of them was rare in this world. They were like ancient Pixiu beasts, majestic and valiant, looking down on the heavens. There were also nine-headed divine pythons that were brightly colored. They were the descendants of the ancient Serpent Emperor. There was even an azure dragon that could call the wind and summon the rain.
This was simply like a group of celestial generals that roared through the world, chasing after the stars and chasing after the moon. They were omnipotent. Their blood pressure covered the heavens, terrifying to the extreme.
Especially at the center, the man sitting on top of a silver-white ancient wolf was even more extraordinary. His upper body was bare, and he was like a hawk looking down on the wolf. His eyes were even more dazzling than a divine lamp.
And even though his mount was an old wolf and not a mutant beast, it had become a saint and was a true saint beast.
"Get lost!"
These thirteen riders rushed over, fast as lightning and ferocious like a tsunami. Their blood energy smashed against the other shore, shaking the entire place. Moreover, each and every one of them was wild and untamed, their tone infuriating.
Longma stopped and dodged to the side, preparing for a great battle. Ye Fan watched indifferently, sitting on top without moving.
The starry sky was trampled apart. The thirteen riders rushed over, but they didn't stop. They left into the distance like a hurricane, leaving behind a violent wave.
Longma was infuriated, feeling as if his fist had landed on cotton. He was already prepared to fight, but in the end, these thirteen riders didn't stop and directly rushed over.
Ye Fan was also surprised. He had no fear. Since this was the most powerful ancient road of training in history, there would definitely be a great clash between experts. He had long since made mental preparations, but he still couldn't fight.
Right at this time, a delicate and pretty scholar with a feather fan rushed over from behind. Dao patterns appeared under his feet, and he crossed a thousand zhang with a single step. He shook his head and said with a hint of contempt, "There are many corpses on the emperor's path since ancient times. With me, I am unrivaled. No one will retreat for the sake of others."
After that, another Golden-Winged Celestial Peng flew over, carrying a middle-aged woman. She coldly glanced over and said, "There is fear in your heart and you should make way for others. Why did you come here? You might as well turn around and return."
"Woof!" Longma lost its mind from anger and actually let out a dog bark. One could see that it was deeply affected by the Black Emperor and was now enraged.
It knew that it had done something wrong. It originally wanted to fight, but in the end, it became a coward on this path. It didn't know that there were so many things to pay attention to.
"Dao brother, there should be no need to fear the experts on this path. The competition is bitter, and everyone is an opponent. There are many who use their auras to suppress others before the battle has even begun. You don't have to take it to heart." A skinny youth kindly informed and hurriedly left.
"This seat has even barged through hell, so why would I be afraid of them? We will meet again on the road!" Longma had a belly full of anger. It was already furious that someone told it to scram, and now, it was ridiculed by the people behind it. It almost howled.
Ye Fan didn't say anything. His gaze was clear, and he didn't waste any more time. Longma let out a neigh and transformed into blood lightning, rushing into the depths of the starry sky.
The stone tablet disappeared, and so did the road sign. The group of people ahead increased, and everyone had their own auras and pressure. One could tell that they were all heroes with a single glance and that they weren't ordinary people.
"That is …" Longma's large eyes revealed radiance. Its anger disappeared, and it stared forward in a somewhat stupefied manner.
Ye Fan was also shocked. He didn't expect to see this kind of irregular scene.
In this cosmos, there was a grand and enormous city situated in front of them. It was a grand and magnificent scene. Dragon cries and phoenix cries could be heard, and it stretched across the stars and moon, undying through the ages.
Everyone stopped here, no longer advancing forward. They gazed at this ancient city from afar. It possessed a boundless atmosphere, and there was an undying power flowing through it.
"An ancient city under the starry sky …" Many people revealed expressions of shock.
It was extremely majestic and mysterious. It wasn't situated on a planet, but rather directly suspended in the starry sky of the cosmos, receiving the baptism of starlight. It was an extremely impactful sight.
It occupied an extremely vast area, and the city walls were like mountain ridges, extending endlessly. The city towers were tall and majestic, and a pair of thick and heavy city gates were closed. It was as if it could stop a magnificent army, as well as saints from ancient times!
