Free Web NovelChapter 1548: Chapter 1531: Where Xiao Fan Is
The Ten Great Passes were opened by the Heavenly Emperor using supreme power. Each pass is like an independent space within a great world but is interconnected, spanning across the Chuxiong Domain.
From the outside, one cannot discern what is special about the Ten Great Passes or what dangers lie within.
Moreover, to challenge the Ten Great Passes, even a Half-step Emperor must start honestly from the first pass, the Starting Pass.
This rule was established by the Heavenly Emperor, and no one can defy it; violators will be suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty.
Upon stepping through the gate of the watchtower, Xiao Ye immediately sensed the disappearance of the watchtower before him. The number of people around increased, and each person’s aura was exceptionally powerful. No one was simple.
"Is this the first pass of the Ten Great Passes?"
"Heavens... so overwhelming!"
"Where exactly is this?"
"Was this opened by the Heavenly Emperor? It’s terrifying."
...
The martial artists present were all in a daze, with the sound of sharp intakes of breath echoing in unison.
Xiao Ye, mingling within the crowd, looked around, and was slightly startled.
At this moment, they seemed to have arrived in a vast universe, where stars shimmered with starlight all around, endless and without boundary.
Just one city gate away resulted in a world of difference.
Under their feet, an ancient road bathed in starlight stretched out straight ahead, traversing through ancient cities, magnificent and grand, with dragon roars and phoenix cries, eternally immortal, vast and majestic.
Altogether, there are ten ancient cities, very grand and mysterious, floating directly in the starry sky, bathed in starlight, traversed by the ancient road, like a string of pearls in the vast universe, tremendously visually impactful.
"Are these the Ten Great Passes? The Heavenly Emperor must have some scheme in mind with this ancient road, and perhaps he is at the end of it."
Xiao Ye soon calmed down.
From the height at which he stood, these so-called Ten Great Passes were merely creations of the Heavenly Emperor through his own power combined with arrays.
Such means were far inferior to the founding of the Emperor World by the Human Race Four Emperors.
At this moment, over a hundred martial artists were unable to restrain themselves and began surging along the ancient road toward the Heroic Pass.
Clang!
The ancient road trembled, letting out the sound of sword cries. A magnificent sword intent erupted like a flood, transforming into fierce moves that immediately halved the number of martial artists charging onto the ancient road, their hot blood staining the road, taking on an eerie look under the starry sheen.
"What?"
Those martial artists who hadn’t charged onto the ancient road were struck pale with fright, cold sweat crawling down their backs, their entire bodies cold to the bone.
Too terrifying!
Just stepping onto the ancient road, half of the hundred martial artists had been slain, among whom there were surprisingly those with Emperor Martial Realm cultivation.
And this was only the first pass of the Ten Great Passes, and already it was this difficult—how monstrous will the challenges ahead be?
"Rumor has it that Xiao Fan has already reached the Third Heroic Pass, seems he’s grown quite a bit over the years."
While the other martial artists were awestruck, Xiao Ye, on the ancient road, advanced with ease.
A realm like a bright moon rose from behind him, and as the ferocious killing intent evolved by the trembling ancient road neared him, it was instantly shredded by the cool moonlight. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Xiao Ye, with his hair cascading, advanced leisurely through the ancient road as if taking a stroll in his courtyard, reaching the Second Heroic Pass effortlessly, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Especially, the Titled Emperor Martial who had stepped onto the ancient road together with Xiao Ye, watched Xiao Ye outpace them in disbelief, full of incredulity, wondering if they were seeing things.
Emperor Martial Realm sixth level... yet advancing faster than them?
"Hmm?"
At this moment, in the boundless starry sky universe, an elder’s figure appeared silently, his profound gaze tearing through the sky, looking in a certain direction.
"Such a familiar silhouette!"
"Very much like Supreme Xiao Ye, whom I accompanied the Domain Lord to pay homage to at the Wuji Sect years ago."
This elder was an elder of the Unrivaled Emperor Domain, possessing invincible Titled Emperor Martial power.
After the Unrivaled Emperor Domain pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor, they began working for the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty, and this time, they were responsible for the opening of the Ten Great Passes.
"However... with only Emperor Martial sixth level cultivation, it certainly cannot be Xiao Ye, at most a martial artist with decent power; perhaps I am overthinking."
"This time, the opening of the Ten Great Passes has attracted many invincible Titled Emperor Martial and Half-Emperor strong people, and the Domain Lord will also be attending; I must be cautious."
The elder whispered softly and then vanished in an instant in the starry sky.
Each pass of the Ten Great Passes is linked by ancient roads filled with dangers, such as Illusion Realms and Emperor Martial Beasts, among others.
In the cities within the Heroic Passes, however, there are no dangers, allowing martial artists to rest at will.
Most martial artists, after traversing an ancient road, would rest in the Heroic Pass before moving on.
But to Xiao Ye, this is as trivial as child’s play.
After forcefully passing the First Heroic Pass, he immediately hit the road, and even the various perilous situations between the Second Heroic Pass and the Third Heroic Pass could not stop him.
He advanced all the way, challenging the ancient road alone, and despite his attempts at keeping a low profile, he attracted much attention.
Because it was too extraordinary!
The displayed strength of his Emperor Martial sixth level cultivation was actually more formidable than that of a Titled Emperor Martial, making it impossible for him not to catch the spotlight.
At the same time, because Xiao Ye moved promptly and did not travel with others, and having severed his past Tao and Law, changing his temperament, he had not been recognized.
Many martial artists knew that a peculiar person had appeared among the Ten Great Passes but did not delve into it.
Because this time, many geniuses and overlords gathered at the Ten Great Passes, with rumors of a Half-step Emperor strong person arriving, almost all concentrated in the latter passes.
Just an impressive mysterious person, how can he compare with these region-renowned figures?
The fifth pass of the Ten Great Passes is named Xuanling Pass. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The enormous Xuanling Pass stands firm in the starry sky.
Unlike the previous heroic passes, those capable of reaching here are significantly powerful, so their numbers are relatively fewer.
Whoosh!
At this moment, by the city gate of Xuanling Pass, a figure flashed through. It was Xiao Ye stepping in.
He continued along the Ten Great Passes, tracing Xiao Fan’s steps.
But as he progressed, so did Xiao Fan. Though fast, he had yet to catch up with him.
"Xiao Ye’s younger brother, Xiao Fan, and a young genius of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty, are planning a duel at the Sixth Pass to determine superiority!"
"This duel has already caught the attention of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty and the Unrivaled Emperor Domain!"
Just arriving at Xuanling Pass and readying to set off again, Xiao Ye was immediately struck by this sensational news.
"Xiao Fan, at the Sixth Pass ahead?" Xiao Ye’s eyes burned with fervor as his figure burst forth, advancing rapidly.
(The signal on the train is incredibly poor, there hasn’t been a signal for ages, leading to now, my apologies.)
