Inside the Supreme Imperial World, streaks of blood light shot straight into the firmament.
Under the trembling of heaven and earth, major Forbidden Zones cracked open. Figures walked out from within, blood qi filling the sky, incompatible with each other. All were figures who dominated their respective eras alone!
One hundred thousand years of cultivation in the Supreme Imperial World, ten Imperial Venerables.
The Imperial Venerable Yi of back then had also turned into a Forbidden Zone long ago. Now reappearing in the world, holding a large bow in hand, the high-spirited vigor of the past was gone from his young face.
Only vicissitudes and determination remained.
"Becoming an Immortal, becoming an Immortal."
"I can feel my blood qi recovering, aging is slowly leaving my body... The Road to Immortality, talk of the Immortal Gate is indeed true!"
Besides him, Imperial Venerables of past generations also emerged one after another.
"[Xuan], [Yuan], [Li], [Cang], [Sui], [Yao], [Qi], [Chen]..."
Every name once dominated for ten thousand years.
Among them were demons, humans, plants, stars, and even artifact spirits. Their roots and origins were all different; the only similarity was their strength.
Boom!
At this moment, the aura of the Imperial Venerables covered the sky. They were raising their blood qi, restoring to peak, intending to kill their way into the legendary Road to Immortality with their strongest posture.
This was an irreversible step, and also the obsession of generations of Imperial Venerables. Their lifespans had originally reached the end, relying entirely on the time concept crystals scattered in the past to linger on. At this moment, shattering the crystals themselves and restoring to peak, the outcome after the battle would inevitably be death and dissipation of the Dao.
"There is still one last person, where is [Tai]."
"The Road to Immortality appears. We are gathered together; how can we be without him?"
Imperial Venerables spoke one after another, voices like thunder, transmitting directly into the Flint Fire Forbidden Zone, but were suppressed by a streak of magnificent blood qi, completely dissipating into nothingness.
[Tai]'s figure emerged.
However, unlike other Imperial Venerables with agitated expressions, [Tai]'s expression was quite calm. The look in his eyes when looking at other Imperial Venerables even carried contempt.
Such an attitude naturally made the Imperial Venerables frown.
After all, no matter which one of them, they were all peak powerhouses who once dominated the world alone. With an invincible will in their hearts, firm and unyielding, how could they admit to being inferior to others?
"First Imperial Venerable, your fame is quite big."
"We never met in the past years. Seeing you now, indeed full of arrogance.. Do you think we're inferior to you?"
Facing the doubts of the Imperial Venerables, [Tai] waved his hand indifferently: "What First Imperial Venerable, its just an empty fame. If you want it, I can just give it to you."
Are you kidding me? do you think I care?
These young people of later generations, how could they imagine the monstrous opportunity he encountered? What Imperial Venerable? We have long ceased to be people of the same world.
I am already the dog of an Immortal!
Thinking of this, [Tai] instantly felt a bit of arrogance that everyone is drunk and I alone am awake. Looking around, the look of seeing fools became increasingly obvious.
"Humph!"
Although there were still Imperial Venerables dissatisfied with this, the Road to Immortality was more important right now. So everyone suppressed their temper and looked at the portal in the sky.
"I'll go first!"
Imperial Venerable Yi was the first to act. He was also the youngest among the Ten Imperial Venerables. At this moment, his qi shot up to the stars, condensing heavenly light, gathering into an arrow in his hand.
Immediately following, he stepped forward, drawing the bow like a full moon. That heavenly light arrow was nocked on the bowstring by him. Including that blood qi filling heaven and earth all were pressed on by him. Brilliant radiance flew up like fire, finally restraining endless divine power without revealing a trace.
"Open!"
Instantly, a light sound exploded in the ears of everyone in the Supreme Imperial World. Then the arrow left the string, blasting into the portal of the Road to Immortality in the blink of an eye.
In the next second, light blossomed.
Almost simultaneously, other Imperial Venerables were not to be outdone, taking action one after another. Magnificent blood qi gathered into a mass, like a ball of raging fire, almost evaporating heaven and earth.
Boom!
Under the impact of this blood qi, whatever Immortal Light, whatever anomalies, were all burned to pieces by blood fire. The Ten Imperial Venerables stepped into the portal!
At this moment, [Tai] was still looking around.
Where is the Immortal?
The Immortal appeared briefly back then, then disappeared again, seemingly aiming for the Road to Immortality. However, now that the Road to Immortality was open, the Immortal didn't show up.
Why?
[Tai] had some doubts in his heart, but was totally unaware that from beginning to end, a ghost-like figure stood silently beside him.
Not only him, including all other Imperial Venerables also didn't notice either. Lu Yang stood silently among the Ten Imperial Venerables. This time he didn't enter with divine sense, but his main body arrived in person. His aura had long merged with the blood qi erupted by the Imperial Venerables. After all, this was originally his blood.
Immediately, he summoned the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].
[Divining Luck Drawing Lots]!
The talent from [Hong Yun] in the past can draw lots by consuming luck, thereby anchoring a future beneficial to oneself. The value is quite high.
Immediately, Lu Yang formed a hand seal.
The luck secret method useless for a long time was unfolded. Owing karma, repaying fortune. According to the standard of one strand per person, he depriving the fortune of billions of cultivators in the Supreme Imperial World.
And this luck was all invested into [Appraising Luck Drawing Lots] by him.
Soon, a large amount of handwriting emerged:
[Event: Restrain aura, mix into the Ten Imperial Venerables, cover yourself with their blood qi homologous to you, deceive the sensing of "Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness"]
[Great Omen: Crossing the sea under deception, seeking death!]
[Small Omen: Heaven's net is vast, sparse but not leaking. Ultimately blocked in front of the door.]
[End Auspice: Although muddling through, still difficult to fully deploy]
Lu Yang didn't hesitate, directly drawing out [End Auspice]. Then he sensed that the resistance and rejection originally coming from the portal in the sky decayed a lot.
I'm coming in...
Lu Yang was overjoyed seeing this. With a thought, he instantly followed behind the Ten Imperial Venerables, forcibly squeezing into the Immortal Gate. Vaguely, muffled sounds coming from the Immortal Gate could still be heard.
Crack, crack!
Obviously, the Immortal Gate was propped open by him bit by bit, somewhat overwhelmed.
It's my stature being too high, volume too large... you bear with it.
Lu Yang held the lot fortune firmly, restraining his aura and status to the extreme. Only then, sticking to the critical point of the portal shattering, did he barely step into the Road to Immortality.
In the next second, the portal disappeared.
Lu Yang stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ten Imperial Venerables, silently sizing up the surroundings. He only felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. All directions, up, down, left, and right were darkness.
Space is interweaving?
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. In the darkness, only a Road to Immortality with brilliant light sat in the darkness, extending towards the deepest part of the darkness.
And on the Road to Immortality, everyone saw layers of images interweaving together. The time concept on this road was already extremely strong, like a mirror, reflecting their past, present, and future. Just witnessing those images would make one's heart waver.
For a time, the Ten Imperial Venerables all wavered.
Because they saw their future. Without exception, all were slain. And the one who slew them was a streak of sword light, a white-robed young man!
"There is a great enemy on the Road to Immortality?"
"Is it an Imperial Venerable even before [Tai] who obtained a huge fortune?"
"No matter who, those who obstruct my Dao deserve to be killed!"
The Ten Imperial Venerables stood shoulder to shoulder, stepping forward together. Although coming from a small world realm, they were all outstanding heroes of their time. Even seeing the future of death, they were not discouraged.
An Invincible will wasn't being invincible externally, proud and complacent, but invincible internally, holding a Dao heart that couldn't be disturbed by myriad thoughts. Even if truly defeated, having the resilience to start over; even facing a desperate situation, having the courage to fight to the death. This was the unique cultivation philosophy of the Supreme Imperial World.
Rather than cultivators, better to say warriors.
Lu Yang stood in the crowd, somewhat emotional. Perhaps because the cultivation of these Imperial Venerables focused on blood qi, they instead harbored a chest full of blood courage.
Worth learning from!
Lu Yang was not an arrogant and conceited person. Gathering the strengths of many; where others have advantages, he never minds learning humbly and then turning it into his own.
And in his view, although the blood qi cultivation system of the Supreme Imperial World itself was certainly not worth mentioning, the methods of polishing the Dao heart were not without merit.
