The System Granted Me Invincibility, Setting Me on the Path to Becoming the Heavenly Emperor

157: The Second Heavenly Gate – The Ten FiendsDong!

Dong!

Dong!

The bell tolled once more, echoing throughout the Heavenly Road.

”He passed the first Heavenly Pass so quickly?”

”Could it be that the challenger has already attained the Dao and become a Supreme?”

Exclamations of surprise rang out, for it seemed truly inconceivable.

Yu Linglong looked toward the Heavenly Pass, a slight smile appearing on her exquisite face. ”After so many years, he has finally attained the Dao and become a Supreme.”

She vaguely remembered that when she first met Qin Gelan, his cultivation was only at the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

It made one marvel at the speed of Qin Gelan’s growth.

”With his talent, the Heavenly Road is not his end.” Yin Shengge also smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness appearing on her face.

”It seems we need to pick up our pace.”

The Demon Prince’s Battle Intent surged as he pointed his long staff toward the entrance of the pass.

Over the years, they had searched everywhere for opportunities, and with their strength, they had indeed reaped some rewards.

Everyone had obtained a Legacy from a distant era.

Qin Gelan even used the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to tell them that the further they went, the fewer ultimate dao immortal artifacts would be left behind.

Because the subsequent passes were all incredibly vast, none of them inferior to the Dominator Plane, and the ultimate dao immortal artifacts were all held by the natives of the Heavenly Road.

As for the Ninetieth Pass, there were very few ultimate dao immortal artifacts there, which was quite puzzling.

Thus, although their progress had been slow over the years, they had gained much, with each of them obtaining an ultimate dao immortal artifact.

Their greatest gain was the Power of Reincarnation obtained at the Fiftieth Pass, which had enhanced their overall strength by a whole level.

Within the Heavenly Road, their group was the one most to be avoided; wherever they went, people would steer clear of them... Qin Gelan stepped into the second Heavenly Pass. It was an ancient town situated within a small heaven and earth manifested by the Heavenly Road.

At this moment, there were only ten people in the ancient town. Someone was plowing the fields, while another held a tattered fan, lying on a rocking chair to enjoy the cool breeze.

These ten people seemed like ordinary folk, with no aura revealed, each going about their own business.

It all seemed peaceful and ordinary, but Qin Gelan saw through everything.

Qin Gelan’s arrival caught their attention.

”A challenger?” One of the middle-aged men with a scruffy beard looked at Qin Gelan.

All ten of them drew closer, showing no hostility whatsoever.

One of them, a beautiful woman, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to touch Qin Gelan, but he dodged her.

”I didn’t expect such a handsome young man to come this time~” the beautiful woman giggled.

”Ahem~ Jiuying, have some dignity. Look at me, I’m not bad-looking either.” A fat man shaped like a ”round ball” bared his teeth at the beautiful woman.

”Get lost!” The beautiful woman looked at the fat man with a face full of disdain.

Qin Gelan’s face immediately darkened with lines of exasperation as he asked, ”Are you all not the Pass Guardians?”

”Oh my~ why is the young man thinking about fighting and killing as soon as he arrives? Is this humble one not more pleasant to look at than blades and swords?”

As she spoke, the beautiful woman even blew a kiss at Qin Gelan.

”Right, right, right. A guest is a guest. Come and have a few drinks first to get acquainted. I’ve grown tired of looking at these few people over the years.” A burly man acted as if they were old friends, putting his arm around Qin Gelan’s shoulder, bringing out a table and chairs, and then producing several jars of wine.

”To hell with you, I’m the one who’s tired of looking at you!”

”Qiongqi, is your skin itching for a beating?”

”If you’re not satisfied, why don’t you try me?”

”I’ll f*cking...”

”Enough, stop fooling around.” The middle-aged man glared at them, then looked at Qin Gelan. ”We are the Pass Guardians. If you want to challenge the pass, you must defeat us.”

Qin Gelan looked with a strange expression at the two who were bickering. Some of the others were also acting sloppily, and one was picking his nose before flicking it away, causing a nearby old man to quickly jump up to avoid it.

Seeing this group of people in such a state... these are the f*cking Pass Guardians?

Who would believe this if it were told?

They just arranged for these characters?

”Ahem~ so, how about you all discuss it? Want to show your true forms to fight?” Qin Gelan looked at this bunch of eccentrics and couldn’t help but speak up.

The burly man stepped forward, patted Qin Gelan’s shoulder, and said seriously, ”Brother, our true forms are the ten fierce beasts. It wouldn’t be good if we hurt you.”

Qin Gelan rubbed his nose and smiled. ”You’d better show your true forms, otherwise you might be taken out in a second.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze narrowed, feeling looked down upon.

A man with a ferocious face even spoke up, ”In that case, let me test your mettle!”

Immediately, a Vicious Beast appeared. The burly man spoke up to warn him, ”Little brother, be careful. His true form is a Hou!”

”Whose side are you f*cking on!” The Hou roared at the burly man.

Qin Gelan shook his head and pointed out a single finger.

Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, the Hou’s body was like a cannonball, smashing through mountain after mountain, not stopping until it had been knocked back tens of thousands of miles.

With this, the way everyone looked at Qin Gelan changed.

Everyone dropped their playful expressions, and even the beautiful woman’s face took on a look of solemnity.

Others might not know, but having spent so much time together over such a long period, they knew exactly how strong each of them was.

In that distant era, they were known as the ten fierce beasts, beings of illustrious fame. They were definitely not something an ordinary Supreme could deal with, let alone being defeated by a single finger like the Hou.

As the dust settled, the Hou’s body was revealed, with blood already gushing out like a fountain. This was even with Qin Gelan holding back.

”It seems the young man’s strength is extraordinary.” The middle-aged man finally turned serious as well.

”Everyone, show your true forms, or else we might fail miserably today.”

As the middle-aged man’s words fell, the nine of them immediately soared into the sky, and the Hou also stood up again, charging toward the heavens.

The nine of them revealed their true forms one by one: Taowu, Qiongqi, Chaos, Taotie, Kui Niu, Zhu Yan, Zheng, Hou, Jiuying, and Tiangou.

The bodies of the ten fierce beasts blotted out the sun, their fierce eyes staring at Qin Gelan.

Qin Gelan looked at the ten fierce beasts and smacked his lips. In front of these Vicious Beasts, his body was like that of an ant.

Every single one of them was a Dao Entry Supreme Being, much stronger than the Sword Servant from the first pass.

After revealing their true forms, the ten fierce beasts seemed to have unleashed their true natures, all exuding a ferocious aura as if they wanted to tear Qin Gelan to pieces.

Qin Gelan also soared into the sky, standing directly in the center of the ten fierce beasts.

”What an arrogant kid! He actually dares to enter the formation of his own accord!”

”Tear him apart!”

Roar!

...One incense stick of time later... ”Hiss~ don’t move! It’s broken!” The old man clutched his waist, not daring to move.

”Young man Qin, you were too ruthless.”

Qin Gelan smiled slightly. ”Not fighting anymore?”

”We were just playing around, why did you have to get so serious, kid?” The Hou gave a forced smile, his originally ferocious face now somewhat bruised and swollen.

”Then have I passed the pass?” Qin Gelan asked again.

”Passed, passed. Whoever says you haven’t, I’ll have a bone to pick with them!” Qiongqi had also been beaten beyond recognition, and he spoke while covering his face.

The beautiful woman, Jiuying, laughed so hard she shook. ”These guys are thick-skinned. If it doesn’t work, just give them another beating.”

”Jiuying, you were the first to surrender. Do you have the face to talk about us?” The old man was displeased and spoke through gritted teeth.

Just now, this woman had been the first to admit defeat, so Qin Gelan hadn’t laid a hand on her.

Jiuying gave a disdainful smile. ”I’m just one who understands that the wise submit to circumstances. Should I be like you all and only behave after getting beaten?”

What she said... didn’t seem to have any flaws.
