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

158: At the end of the heavenly road, the way to leave.Qin Gelan sat with the ten fierce beasts, drinking fine wine.

”Little brother, the end of the Heavenly Pass is not so easily reached,” the middle-aged man, Taowu, said to Qin Gelan while drinking.

The others also nodded seriously, their eyes filled with wariness.

”Does big brother know what lies beyond the end of the Heavenly Pass?” Qin Gelan asked curiously.

”We are only responsible for guarding this pass, but as for what specifically lies beyond, we do not know either,” Taowu replied.

”I heard one can achieve Immortal Ascension!” Chaos said, sporting two black eyes while greedily gnawing on meat.

As for those two black eyes, they were naturally given to him by Qin Gelan’s beating.

”Immortal Ascension?”

Qin Gelan’s interest was piqued; the Immortal referred to here was not the Immortal Venerable or Immortal Emperor of the cultivation Realms.

”Chaos is right; Immortal Ascension is just a saying. Back then, this Plane was known as the Immortal Realm, and there truly were Immortals!” The burly man, Kui Niu, spoke up.

Following that, through the middle-aged man’s explanation, they spoke of the formation of the Heavenly Road.

When heaven and earth first opened, a Great World was born alongside it. After a long period of gestation, the Great World developed living beings.

These beings were born powerful. Under the rule of the survival of the fittest, the strong dominated the world, while the weak could only become food for the strong.

The weak were forgotten in the long river of time, but heaven always grants a sliver of hope. Under the Laws, the Great World began to crack and was divided into four poles.

These four poles are the current four Universes, forming the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. The center of the four Universes is the core of the Great World—the Immortal Realm that Kui Niu spoke of.

In the Immortal Realm, experts were as numerous as clouds. There was more than one Flawless Supreme Being, and even the existence of Immortals.

That era was truly a time when the Myriad Heavens submitted and the Myriad Realms paid homage; its prosperity had reached the absolute Peak.

But things reverse when they reach their extreme. In that brilliant and dazzling era, a Calamity descended.

Under the leadership of the rulers, the experts of the Immortal Realm and the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms all faced the Calamity. Although they eventually survived it, they were severely depleted of Origin Qi.

The Immortal Realm ceased to exist, and the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were shattered into individual Planes, some of which were even completely destroyed.

”Such a powerful Plane... just what kind of Calamity was it that even Immortals were powerless?” Qin Gelan was shocked in his heart.

Taowu shook his head and said, ”We were sealed here before we could experience that Calamity.”

”Sealed here?” Qin Gelan looked at Taowu and the others.

A look of sorrow appeared on the faces of the ten fierce beasts. They had been on the Heavenly Road for an unknown number of years. It was only because the Laws of the Heavenly Road granted immortality that they had lived until now to guard this place.

But on second thought, something wasn’t right. Wasn’t it rumored that the Heavenly Road was formed from that Plane?

Could it be that the Heavenly Road existed even before that Calamity descended?

Qin Gelan lowered his head in deep thought; all of this was shrouded in mystery.

”Perhaps the answer lies at the end of the Heavenly Road,” Jiuying spoke up.

Over these long years, the ferocity of the ten fierce beasts had been suppressed. If it were that era, it would have been impossible for them to be so close to an outsider.

”Everyone, is there any way to let you leave?” Qin Gelan looked at the ten fierce beasts.

Light immediately appeared in the eyes of the ten fierce beasts, but it quickly faded. Chaos shook his chubby head: ”There’s no way. Back then, we couldn’t resist even at our Peak, let alone now.”

”Your Peak?” Qin Gelan’s eyes widened as he pressed, ”What was your strength at your Peak?”

”Uh... according to your current Realm divisions, Extreme Dao Supreme Being, I suppose,” Chaos said.

*Hiss—*

Qin Gelan sucked in a breath of cold air. Ten Extreme Dao Supreme Beings—what a terrifying lineup was that?

Is there any single Realm in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms that can produce ten Extreme Dao experts?

Taowu looked at Qin Gelan, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, and said, ”With Brother Qin’s strength, perhaps you can reach the end of the Heavenly Road like those few people before you.”

”Perhaps... there will be a way for us to leave at the end.”

The end of the Heavenly Road again. All mysteries pointed toward the end of the Heavenly Road.

But Qin Gelan still had some questions and asked in confusion, ”Did those few people back then not find a way to let you leave?”

This naturally referred to the Flawless Supreme Beings like the Saint Emperor and the Heavenly King.

”They also tried to find a way for us, but they all said they were not yet qualified,” Jiuying said.

”Not qualified?”

”That’s right, they weren’t qualified. Although we don’t understand why they said that, but...” Taowu paused, ”There was one person who, like you, said there was a way, but the time wasn’t right.”

Taowu continued to reminisce: ”That person back then was too powerful. Before him, we felt like mere mayflies. He was also the first person to come to the Heavenly Road, but it wasn’t for the path of Attaining the Dao.”

”Because he no longer needed to attain the Dao; he was already as strong as an Immortal.”

Listening to Taowu’s description, Qin Gelan already had some guesses in his heart.

Qin Gelan stood up and said to the ten fierce beasts, ”Everyone, since that’s the case, I will take a trip to the end of the Heavenly Road. If there truly is a way to let you leave, I will definitely return.”

The ten fierce beasts also stood up. Kui Niu patted Qin Gelan on the shoulder: ”Little brother, if you can truly take us away, we are willing to follow you.”

The others also nodded seriously, without the slightest affectation.

Qin Gelan smiled slightly. These were ten Extreme Dao Supreme Beings; they were existences standing at the Peak of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Afterward, Qin Gelan bid farewell to the ten fierce beasts and headed toward the next pass.

At the Heavenly Pass.

”Challenger, state your name!”

”Qin Gelan.”

Without any extra words, Qin Gelan struck directly. Waves of Laws whistled, and Extreme Dao Power surged incessantly.

A day later, Qin Gelan arrived at the next pass again.

Boom!

Boom!

Earth-shattering sounds rang out—there were roars, angry shouts, and the sounds of clashing.

Qin Gelan challenged one pass after another. By now, he had reached the entrance of the seventh pass.

Qin Gelan sat cross-legged; he was going to refine the law fragments. The law fragments from the Heavenly Pass were more than all the previous ones combined.

Besides the law fragments, Qin Gelan felt Luck from the Power of Reincarnation.

This was the Luck of the Great World, which could only be obtained after challenging the Heavenly Pass. This was not just his personal Luck, but the Luck of Xuanhuang Heaven.

With the blessing of Luck, combined with the spatial meridians of the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, Xuanhuang Heaven might be able to become the Dominator of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms in the future.

In fact, Qin Gelan was thinking even further. If he could bring the Heavenly Road back, it might not be impossible to recreate the grandeur of that era.

Shaking his head, Qin Gelan cast aside these fantasies and focused his eyes on the seventh pass.

What met his eyes was a dense crowd of people wearing silver armor. These people were all manifested from the Laws of the Heavenly Road.

He couldn’t see the end of them at a glance. Even the number of the Evil Clan in the Sealed Land of the Monster Realm was insignificant compared to this.

Qin Gelan smiled. Facing a crowd, he was never afraid.

”I haven’t used it for many years. I wonder what level of power it will reach when set up with my current strength.”

”Immortal Annihilation Azure Sky Grand Array, rise!”
