Star Trace Gate

Chapter 803: Entering the Ascension Platform, Blade Pointing Inward

[Announcement: Congratulations to No. 9, a blood guide from the secret road of the human world, for successfully passing the test of "Heaven's Weight" in the human world and stepping onto the Ascension Platform. ]

With less than two hours left before the test of Heaven's Weight, the voice of the Headless Man rang out again, causing an uproar among all parties.

“Ah? There’s only one person on Route 9, and he f*cking passed the test?! This… this is too scary!”

"One person? Doesn't that mean it's all exposed?" A young man in a blue Taoist robe murmured thoughtfully.

"What do you mean? What's the secret?" the companion asked in confusion.

"Looking at the entire imperial tomb, who else has been walking alone?" The blue-robed young man sighed and looked up to the sky: "Except for the young marquis, I'm afraid no one else has the courage. The person who walked alone on Secret Road No. 9 must be him."

"Indeed, among all the emperors in this tomb, he is the only one who deserves the title of Lone Walker."

"Alas, we have been in countless secret realms, and have practiced hard and pursued him in countless life and death situations... but in the end, we are still no match for his unparalleled brilliance. There are five of us traveling together, and we have been on the verge of death several times in this level, and we have barely reached the end. But he has also achieved this step by himself. This is truly amazing."

"Brilliant talent!" A bold-looking young man frowned and replied, "How do you know that he reached the Emperor Realm in the last stage? He is on a secret path, and others cannot find out his information, so naturally they dare not attack him easily. He may have passed this stage with a small multiple of the Red Tide's pressure..."

"I admit that there are gaps among the geniuses, but they are definitely not as insurmountable as a chasm."

"If it was just a small multiple of the pressure, then with the young marquis's magical power, how could it have taken a full twenty-nine days?!"

"Heh, maybe he wants to hone himself under the pressure of the red tide?"

"...!"

Almost all the multiplayer teams that successfully passed the three tests guessed the identity of the lone traveler on Route 9 at this moment and started a heated discussion.

Although the young marquis had not met with everyone, some people felt the unique sense of oppression from him and felt uneasy. This feat of going through three levels alone was indeed rare in the world. But some people sneered, thinking that the young marquis took a secret route and might not have experienced the high-powered red tide pressure, and this included the Big Dipper on Route 7.

Master Zhu believed that the young marquis might have been attacked in the last stage, but he definitely did not reach the level of the emperor. Therefore, he walked a little slower, but he passed it in the end.

After all, the Big Dipper finally reached the Emperor Realm. They knew too well how difficult this level was, and they didn’t think that anyone in the world could pass it alone.

……

Number 9 - Secret road in the human world, ascension platform.

The young marquis was lying on the cold ground with disheveled hair, looking like a dried skeleton. His breath was extremely weak and he looked as miserable as an old man who was about to die.

During these twenty-nine days, his body had become extremely skinny, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was just skin and bones. If a strong wind blew past at this moment, it would probably blow him into the sky like dust. Most importantly, the star core in his abdomen had completely dried up, like a pearl without its luster, no different from an ordinary stone.

"call……!"

Faint breaths flowed out from his mouth and nose, and the young marquis looked at the scorching sun with vague eyes, revealing a very confused look.

No one knew how he passed the test of the Emperor Realm, but there was one thing that was very unusual: the moment he stepped onto the ascension platform, there was no trace of joy on his face.

If the young marquis had been known for his arrogant and carefree character, then his walking alone through this "Emperor's Realm" at this moment would naturally be considered a feat that had never been done before and would never be repeated.

Such an earth-shaking act must have shocked the entire Jiuli. He should have celebrated it with full pride and expressed the boldness in his heart.

After all, since the birth of the Emperor Realm, no one has been able to walk through it alone, and even if someone else has accomplished this feat later, he will naturally be ranked behind the young marquis. Because since ancient times, everyone will only remember the first person to try something new.

But at this moment, there was no joy on the young marquis's face. He only showed a look of confusion, sometimes puzzled, and sometimes puzzled.

He lay on the ground motionless, as if trying to grab something, but always felt that it was just a little bit missing.

"boom!"

At this moment, in the originally quiet sacred mountain, the clouds suddenly dispersed and the heaven and earth were shaken.

The endless crimson color faded away, and the shadow of the headless man standing tall appeared in various ancient roads, on the same level as the sacred mountain, emitting the terrifying pressure of an emperor.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the Beheaded Man, and they looked at him excitedly, waiting for the final result to be announced. They all had a premonition... Route 3 might have already announced the result, and the test of the Human Arena would soon be over.

[Announcement: Congratulations to No. 3 - the lone walker on the bright road of the world, who has passed the three levels of the weight of man, the weight of the earth, and the weight of heaven. In the endless loneliness and hesitation, he suddenly realized, glimpsed the eternity, looked at the emperor's path from afar, understood the emperor's true meaning, and realized the emperor's thoughts - after sitting in the second Emperor Pavilion for 29 days, he finally concentrated his mind at the third level, understood the emperor's true meaning, and inherited this secret method. ]

[The road to becoming an emperor is lonely and endless. To inherit the throne, one must bear the burden of the three elements of heaven, earth, and man.]

The words of the Headless Man resounded in the ears of all the Blood Guides like thunder. All the ancient roads suddenly became silent and one could hear a pin drop.

"brush!"

The young marquis sat up from his astonishment as if he had come back from the dead, staring at the beheaded man in amazement, and remained silent for a long time.

Quiet, silent...

After a moment, everyone was shocked.

"What does the headless man mean?! Is he saying that... Number Three has passed the test of Heaven's Weight, and he has passed it at the Emperor's Extreme Realm?"

"That's what it means."

"He is in the Emperor Realm... and he has actually achieved concentration?! He is only at the third level! This is impossible!"

"Not only did I condense my mind, but I also inherited the true meaning of the Emperor."

"If this boy doesn't die, the younger generation of Jiuli will never have a chance to succeed! Great Emperor, I really can't understand why you favor an outsider so much!"

"...!"

As everyone knows, Ren Ye's popularity in the Jiuli Continent is similar to Lao Liu's popularity in the technician community. Both of them are the kind of people that even dogs dislike.

Therefore, at this moment, almost all the blood guides who stepped onto the ascension platform were in a state of broken defense. Some were cursing, some were unwilling, or some felt a sense of anger in their hearts that since there is Yu, why is there Liang?

Some things, if there is no comparison, there is no harm. Everyone knows that in this three-level test of the human arena, since the heaven allows everyone to go together, it means that this level is extremely difficult and it is almost impossible for one person to pass it, so they chose to go together.

But now, the identity of No. 3 has become very clear. Everyone knows that he is the descendant of the ancient emperor, and he... not only passed the three tests, but also reached the Emperor Realm in the end, and was able to gain enlightenment in this realm that had brought many geniuses to the brink of death several times.

Seeing this comparison, anyone with a bit of pride in his heart would feel a burning pain on his cheeks.

This isn't a slap in the face, this is a blow to the soul!

Number 7 - Secret Road in the Human World.

The Big Dipper seemed to have "died" in silence. All seven of them had frozen expressions, stared in amazement, and said nothing.

After a long time, Master Zhu murmured with a pale face, "He... he actually condensed his mind in the Emperor's Ultimate. He is only at the third level, how is this possible?! And why would the emperor bestow such an important secret method of inheritance on him?! I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, we represent the younger generation of Jiuli!"

"You not only represent the younger generation of Jiuli, you also represent the six of us." Han Ziyu's face was extremely cold, and he cursed in a trembling voice: "Damn it... You made all these calculations like a tiger rushing down the mountain, as if there is no mystery in this world that you can't figure out. How confident were you when you bet on 280 blood leads? It's as if the Heavenly Venerable is an unenlightened child in front of you."

"I'm asking you, why aren't you waving your fan now? Why aren't you planning your strategy and winning a battle a thousand miles away now?!"

"No, I lost miserably!"

He roared in complete defeat.

"That was not a decision I made alone!" Master Zhu replied with his eyes wide open: "Why are you blaming me alone now?"

"The decision was not made by you alone, but you have been guiding them all the time! You made everyone lose all the money they invested in passing the level. Shouldn't you take responsibility?" Han Ziyu said aggressively.

"Yes." The gentle woman who had admired Master Zhu before also said anxiously at this moment: "He passed the third test, so what should we do? Not counting the money won in the second test, we have also wasted 140 blood leads in vain...!"

"I've said it before, betting on 280 blood leads is too risky and hasty." Some people who have hindsight have already started to pass the buck.

"Brother Zhu, I'm not saying anything bad about you... you are too confident when you wave your feather fan, which affects everyone's judgment."

"What does this have to do with my fan? ! Am I breathing wrong now?" Master Zhu looked at everyone in disbelief, shaking with anger.

Not far away, only King Li Ren did not complain. He just sat next to the ascension platform and looked at the headless man with a very confused look.

His face turned pale, and he murmured in frustration, "Could it be... that my judgment was wrong? This Emperor... Emperor Realm is not a test that is only designed to increase the difficulty of Blood Attractors... but a... great opportunity. It is right in front of me, but I ignored it?"

"Fan, take the fan away!!!" Han Ziyu shouted hoarsely, "Never let me see it again!"

On Route 7, some people are reflecting, while others are blaming each other and shifting the blame.

But this kind of scene did not only happen on Road No. 7, but all the teams that attacked King Huai in the last round were now like losing gamblers, cursing at each other and roaring in despair.

As the old saying goes, you can't even partner with others in a deal worth a dime, let alone one that determines the future and opportunities of a cultivator...what about the Great Dao Competition?

……

Number Three - The Bright Path in the World.

"boom!"

A sword light as bright as collapsing stars wrapped around Ren Ye's body, penetrated the void, cut through the endless crimson, and flew straight to the top of the sacred mountain.

That sword light that had the power to split mountains, break seas and divide the sky was the result of the sword that drew all of Ren Ye's star power and divine perception, containing the unique artistic conception of a person with divine powers. Wherever it passed, it destroyed everything in its path. Endless crimson water flowed to both sides, and nothing could stop it.

A sword was pointed towards the top of the sacred mountain, and the loneliness, hesitation, helplessness, despair, fear... of walking alone on the road of the world for half a year were all shattered by the sword of artistic conception.

What about the pain of losing a close friend on the road, what about the misfortune that befell the world, the suffering and worry that wailed; what about the conspiracy and calculation between the great ways, the competition of intrigue and deception... I don't want to see or think about them. In front of the Human Emperor, they are all just things that can be destroyed by a sword.

I don’t know about the first five hundred years, and I don’t know about the next five hundred years.

No matter how turbulent the world is, no matter how powerful the enemies are, I will still be determined to achieve my goals and make contributions to the contemporary world. I will kill with a single thought and leave no regrets!

This was what Ren Ye had in mind. It was neither sad nor lonely, nor did it have any sense of depression. It only had the sharp edge of the latecomers and the ambition to kill all the endless enemies on the Human Emperor Road.
