Chapter 408: The Imperial Path Revealed

Chapter 408: The Imperial Path Revealed

The Primordial Immortal Body has reached its pinnacle!

Gu Qingfeng immediately took a step forward, heading straight into the chaos.

As he traversed the Nine Heavens, all the demons attacking the defenses of the Nine Heavens, hoping to breach the Eastern Domain, instinctively froze. Then, without any warning, they exploded in a thunderous boom.

Boom—

Countless demons were annihilated.

Whether they were demons comparable to half-saints or other demons, they all exploded into oblivion without any sign.

This sudden change caused the human side to change expressions drastically.

Just as they were trying to figure out what had happened, a Great Dao Path pierced through the void, descending from the Nine Heavens. A cultivator in a green robe stepped onto the Heavenly Path, heading towards the chaos.

Behind him, countless rays of light illuminated the heavens and earth, accompanied by the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries. Various celestial phenomena emerged, causing the hearts of these cultivators to tremble.

"That’s... the ancestor of the Gu family!"

"Is this the Heavenly Path? Could it be that this person is about to ascend to the Emperor Realm!?"

The Saint guarding the First Heaven, upon seeing this scene, his face changed repeatedly, as if he had realized something, his eyes filled with shock.

But at that moment,

Gu Qingfeng had already stepped into the Second Heaven.

The demons here, like those in the First Heaven, instantly exploded, as if they were directly wiped out by some terrifying presence.

Third Heaven!

Fourth Heaven!

Fifth Heaven!

...

When Gu Qingfeng reached the Ninth Heaven, all the invading demons were annihilated on the spot. The majestic heavenly authority penetrated the heavens and earth, and the Heavenly Path caused numerous powerful beings to tremble in their hearts.

Summer Jun, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes, a trace of shock appearing in his eyes.

"This aura... Emperor!!"

Although this pressure had not yet truly transformed into imperial might, compared to true imperial might, this pressure was already many times stronger.

In the next moment,

Summer Jun appeared in the void.

Looking at the figure stepping onto the Heavenly Path and heading into the chaos, his expression changed dramatically.

"Gu Qingfeng!"

"He has truly taken this step!?"

Although Summer Jun had long known that this person would definitely achieve sainthood, seeing this scene in reality still caused his heart to tremble.

Emperor Realm!

This realm had been what Summer Jun had been striving for since the Desolate Ancient Era, yet he had never managed to step into it.

Now,

Someone was ascending to the Emperor Realm right before his eyes.

And this person was his recent adversary.

The shock this brought to Summer Jun was indescribable.

More importantly,

The aura emanating from Gu Qingfeng now made Summer Jun feel suffocated.

In the battle at the Primordial Ancient Land, Summer Jun had truly witnessed Gu Qingfeng's strength. At that time, although Gu Qingfeng was formidable, his aura was absolutely not as terrifying as it was now.

Summer Jun even had a premonition that if he were to face the current Gu Qingfeng, he might be suppressed and killed in a single move.

He didn’t know

What kind of opportunity Gu Qingfeng had encountered.

But one thing was certain.

From this moment on,

He would no longer be able to compete with this person.

Not just Summer Jun.

When the Heavenly Path appeared, all the Empire Aspirant realm cultivators in the five major domains of the Ancient Realm looked up at the Ninth Heaven. The figure stepping onto the Heavenly Path had already come into their view.

"The Imperial Path has appeared again!"

"An Emperor is about to ascend in this world!"

The word "Emperor" alone!

Caused everyone to tremble in their hearts.

These two words represented an invincible existence in an era.

Every Emperor who emerged in an era was an invincible powerhouse.

Even many ancient Emperors who had sealed themselves away did not wish to engage with such a new Emperor.

After all,

Both being Emperors,

If they were to clash, they would surely both suffer.

Therefore,

Whenever an Emperor emerged in an era, all other powerful beings would bow in submission.

"That’s Gu Qingfeng!"

In the Ancient Qin Family, Qin Wuxiang, who had always maintained a cold demeanor, finally showed a change in expression. This powerful Empire Aspirant from the Desolate Ancient Era was now shocked beyond measure upon seeing the figure stepping onto the Imperial Path.

The Imperial Path's emergence!

Signified the birth of an Emperor!

As a powerful being from the Desolate Ancient Era, Qin Wuxiang naturally pursued the Emperor Realm.

At this moment,

On the Imperial Path.

Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to step into the chaos, a powerful aura erupted from the Ancient Realm. Then, a figure forcibly tore through the void and stepped into the Imperial Path.

Seeing this,

Gu Qingfeng did not stop. Without waiting for the Empire Aspirant to speak, he snapped his fingers, instantly killing the opponent.

As the Empire Aspirant's body fell, blood splattered the void. It was as if Pandora's box had been opened, and from the five major domains, one after another, figures emanating terrifying auras stepped through the void, directly entering the Imperial Path.

"Kill!"

"This world is destined for me to attain the Dao!"

"No one can stop me from reaching the Dao—"

The faces of the Empire Aspirants were filled with ferocity, their eyes brimming with murderous intent as they looked at Gu Qingfeng. Without hesitation, they launched their attacks, determined to crush him completely on the Imperial Path.

The Imperial Path appeared!

The Great Dao was formed!

Although the Imperial Path emerged because of Gu Qingfeng, throughout history, anyone who could conquer it and slay all those who sought to claim it would attain the rank of Emperor.

Thus.

Whenever the Imperial Path appeared, it was bound to cause bloodshed and chaos.

The opportunity to become an Emperor was right before their eyes, and no one wanted to miss it.

For many ancient Empire Aspirants, attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor had become an obsession.

In the past, they were well aware of Gu Qingfeng's strength and naturally did not want to challenge him.

But now.

These Empire Aspirants were willing to take a desperate gamble.

Slay Gu Qingfeng!

Eliminate the other Empire Aspirants vying for the Imperial Path!

Then.

They would be the last victors.

Seeing a dozen Empire Aspirants charging at him, Gu Qingfeng did not stop. His eyes glowed with Daoic energy, and a Heavenly Path pierced through the heavens and earth. The power of the Yin-Yang Cycle transformed into a Doom Mill, and all attacks that touched it instantly disintegrated.

Then.

The Doom Mill descended.

The bodies of the dozen Empire Aspirants exploded, and all their vitality and spirits were extinguished on the spot.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm throughout.

Even before his Primordial Immortal Body reached its peak, Gu Qingfeng could easily crush ordinary Empire Aspirants. Now, with the breakthrough of his Primordial Immortal Body, his strength had reached a terrifying level.

Even he.

Was unsure of the limits of his own power.

But one thing was certain.

Ordinary Emperors.

Gu Qingfeng could crush them with a single blow.

Any Empire Aspirant who dared to obstruct him was courting death.

However.

The allure of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor was so great that even the deaths of a dozen Empire Aspirants did not deter other powerful figures.

"Boom!"

A Six-Armed Demon stepped through the void.

"Human, I shall slay you!"

The Six-Armed Demon roared, his six Imperial Aspirant weapons slicing through the air with ease, their terrifying power causing many onlookers to change their expressions.

"This is the Six-Armed Asura King!"

Summer Jun's face changed.

The Six-Armed Asura King!

A top demon emperor from the Desolate Ancient Era, he possessed the Asura divine body and his strength was unmatched.

Though they were both from the Desolate Ancient Era, Summer Jun had only heard of the Six-Armed Asura King as a legend. He thought the Six-Armed Asura King had perished, but now it seemed he had been waiting for this opportunity to attain the Dao.

Now.

Gu Qingfeng had opened the Imperial Path.

The Six-Armed Asura King intended to slay him and use his Imperial Path to attain the rank of Emperor.

However.

In Summer Jun's view.

The Six-Armed Asura King had no chance of success.

Today's Gu Qingfeng made Summer Jun feel a chill in his heart. He did not even have the courage to step into the Imperial Path and challenge Gu Qingfeng.

It wasn't that he didn't want to.

But Gu Qingfeng was too strong.

In the face of such a formidable opponent, Summer Jun saw no hope.

Rather than entering the Imperial Path to seek death, it was better to find another opportunity to attain the Dao.

While the Imperial Path was a path of endless slaughter, Summer Jun did not want to be one of the countless corpses along the way.

All of this happened in an instant.

Just as Summer Jun's thoughts settled, the Six-Armed Asura King's attack arrived. However, Gu Qingfeng did not resist, allowing the attack to strike him.

The Six-Armed Asura King's face showed a look of joy, but the next moment, it turned to shock.

"Impossible... Is your flesh body comparable to an Imperial Weapon?!"

He saw that his full-strength attack had not moved Gu Qingfeng in the slightest, causing the Six-Armed Asura King, a demon emperor from the Desolate Ancient Era, to lose his composure, his face filled with horror.

He knew his own strength all too well.

Even an Emperor would not dare to withstand his full-strength attack with their flesh body.

But.

Gu Qingfeng had done it.

His pride in his strength had been completely shattered.

This scene.

This was enough to send the Six-Armed Asura King into a state of shock.

However.

Before he could make his next move, Gu Qingfeng unleashed a simple and direct punch. The attack caused the six Imperial Aspirant weapons to explode into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

Next came the Six-Armed Asura King's arms, followed by his body—

In less than a single breath.

A supreme demon emperor from the Desolate Ancient Era was directly slain by Gu Qingfeng.

At the moment of the Six-Armed Asura King's demise, many powerful beings fell silent.

"The Six-Armed Asura King has fallen!!"

"Killing a Desolate Ancient Era demon emperor with a single punch—this human's strength is truly terrifying!"

In the chaos, the demon strongers who witnessed everything instantly lost their composure. They looked at the supreme figure on the Imperial Path with eyes full of shock.

Although Gu Qingfeng had previously slain the Supreme Yang Demon Emperor, it had taken a fierce battle to achieve that.

The Six-Armed Asura King, as a supreme demon emperor of the Desolate Ancient Era, possessed a powerful divine body and had once contended with Emperors in that era.

In other words, this being's strength was enough to face a true Emperor head-on.

Yet, even a powerful figure like the Six-Armed Asura King was killed by Gu Qingfeng with a single punch, demonstrating just how formidable his strength truly was.

...

"Killing a Desolate Ancient Era demon emperor with a single punch—this youth's strength has become even more terrifying!"

"If this person ascends to become an Emperor, he will undoubtedly be a great enemy to us all!"

"Kill... We must not let him achieve his ascension!"

"This youth must die—"

In the Ancient Realm, numerous forbidden zones were filled with surging auras, as powerful divine consciousnesses intertwined and crimson eyes fixed on the figure on the Imperial Path, burning with cold, murderous intent.

Gu Qingfeng's strength.

These ancient beings felt the threat of death.

The Six-Armed Asura King's strength was already on par with some Emperors, yet even such a powerful figure was killed by Gu Qingfeng with a single punch on the Imperial Path.

If Gu Qingfeng were to successfully break through, no one would be able to stand against him.

Just like the ruler of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty in the Primordial Era, who dominated an era with no one daring to challenge him.

"Boom!"

In a life forbidden zone of the Central Domain, a Life Ancient City tore through the void and directly entered the Imperial Path.

When the Life Ancient City descended, Gu Qingfeng shattered it with a flick of his finger. Then, an ancient Emperor dressed in black imperial robes stepped forward, his terrifying imperial aura suppressing the three thousand great dao. With a wave of his hand, he condensed a great dao technique and unleashed it towards Gu Qingfeng.

"You should not have ascended!"

"When did it become your turn to dictate my ascension!"

Gu Qingfeng's face was cold as he looked at the great dao technique coming towards him. His physical bloodline and qi surged, and the power of his perfected Primordial Immortal Body erupted. In the instant he unleashed his punch, the heavens and earth seemed to collapse, and all the great dao in the heavens and earth vanished in an instant.

"No—"

The ancient Emperor's calm demeanor turned to shock, and his pupils reflected the image of death.

Boom!!

Before the ancient Emperor could react, Gu Qingfeng's punch pierced through his chest, instantly reducing his heart and internal organs to dust.

"Spit!"

The Emperor coughed up blood, but he had no intention of retaliating. Dragging his damaged imperial body, he tore through the Imperial Path, trying to escape.

"You came, so why the rush to leave!"

Gu Qingfeng would not let him go. He extended his palm, as if the great thousand universes were contained within it, and the ancient Emperor was immediately suppressed.

With a squeeze of Gu Qingfeng's fingers, the Emperor's body exploded, his blood splattering the void.

"Rumble!!"

When the Emperor's body fell, the shadow of the great dao descended from the heavens, and a torrent of blood rained down, as if the entire world was weeping.

The beings in the five great domains of the Ancient Realm felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

An Emperor had fallen!

The heavens mourned!

...

"An Emperor has fallen!"

"That was the Green Leaf Divine Lord... The divine lord who founded the Green Leaf Divine Dynasty in the Primeval Era. I never thought he would fall here!"

Many ancient strongers in the Ancient Realm were shocked when they saw the bloodied figure.

Among them.

Many recognized the identity of the fallen Emperor.

After all, divine dynasties have always been few, and those who could ascend to the rank of Emperor as the rulers of divine dynasties were even rarer.

There was no denying it.

The Green Leaf Divine Lord's strength was unparalleled throughout history.

However—

Even a powerful figure like the Green Leaf Divine Lord fell on the Imperial Path, and he was easily slain by Gu Qingfeng.

This clearly demonstrated.

The terrifying power of the Gu family's ancient ancestor. (End of Chapter)
