Halfway through the Skyway.
Countless hermits have fallen from grace.
Only seven survived.
With such a death ratio, even Chen Dong’s back was chilled.
These Hidden Worlds were the top battle forces in the world that had accumulated over the years.
Perhaps there were hidden people who had resisted the temptation and did not show themselves in this great opportunity, but such an existence was absolutely minuscule.
The reason for the recluses’ seclusion was to pursue the pinnacle of the martial arts.
This great opportunity is an unspeakable temptation for every recluse.
In other words, this trek to the heavens overwhelmed almost all the top combatants in the world!
And the same thing has never been broken in the long history of the human race since the very beginning of its existence.
The human race, time and time again, has been knocking on the door of the heavens, going back and forth, even if they failed time and again, burying all the top combatants, they never gave up, and after a period of accumulation, they came back again and again.
Boom, boom, boom ……
The tide of heavenly mighty swords ravaged the heavenly path.
A monstrous killing intent swept through the world.
All living creatures were forbidden, but that fearful heavenly might was burned into the soul of every living soul like a brand.
This was the heavens manifesting their heavenly might, and a warning to all living beings in the future.
Fear is always the greatest tool for restraint, and even for bowing down.
A thousand-metre-high wave of blood stirred through the heavenly path, pushing out from the Heavenly Gate, pushing all the way across to the end of the heavenly path, and then rising up to stir up a wave that covered the sky and rolled back again to the Heavenly Gate of the Nine Heavens, and so on and so forth.
All this has nothing to do with Chen Dong, who is in the “Heavenless Realm”.
His only sense of the outside world was his sight.
As far as the eye could see, it was blood red.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
Shocked and appalled, he was left with nothing but worry when he returned his gaze to Jiang Qilin.
Jiang Qilin had given up this opportunity and had gone out of his way to burn Qilin blood to shelter him on the Heavenly Path, indeed preserving his current strength to the greatest extent possible, but even though Jiang Qilin was so fearless, the tide of Heavenly Might swords that he endured every moment seemed a little pale when described as terrifying.
On the contrary, the heavens have never been afraid of challenges.
The more dazzling Jiang Qilin’s performance on the heavenly path, the more he was targeted by the heavenly might.
But if he did not behave in such a way, he would not be able to shelter him and send him into the Heavenly Gate.
It was a dead end, a dead end that would exacerbate Jiang Qilin’s descent into extinction!
“The further I go, the stronger the Heavenly Might becomes, and if Jiang Qilin wants to shelter me, he will burn faster, explode even stronger, and draw even more terrifying targeting from the Heavenly Might, hastening his death… Is there really no way out at all?”
Chen Dong’s lips were noodling, his mind was cluttered with thoughts.
Countless options flashed in his mind, but they were all quickly rejected by him.
An indescribable feeling of frustration and powerlessness swept through his body.
In the end, although he was a candidate to tread the heavens, he really knew very little about the heavens and their might.
So much so that even now, when he had the intention to help Jiang Qilin, he was still in the dark.
Sometimes it is not that people are not clever enough to think of solutions, but rather the limitations of cognition, and the solutions they come up with are confined within their perception.
“Pfft!”
In the bright golden light, Jiang Qilin’s throat squirmed and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Only as soon as the blood reached the air, it was instantly swept away by the qilin blood and burned into nothingness. So no one noticed it, not even Chen Dong who was only a dozen metres away from him.
Just as Chen Dong had surmised, Jiang Qilin had shown such a dazzling display of burning Qilin blood on the Heavenly Road that the Heavenly Might emanating from the Heavenly Gate was indeed increasingly fierce when it was inflicted on his body.
Even though he was pushing hard to burn the qilin blood, it was still getting harder and harder to face the increasingly fierce heavenly might.
“Still not sacrificing the Great Cauldron?”
The Jiang Qilin stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He burned the blood of the qilin not only to shelter Chen Dong, but also to last longer.
He was waiting!
Waiting for Gu Cang Yue to sacrifice the Great Cauldron!
He didn’t know the final outcome once the Great Cauldron was released, but there was one thing he was sure of!
That is, once the …… Great Cauldron was released, it would definitely receive the attention of the Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly Might in an instant, and the “attention” would be even more fierce than if he burned his Qilin blood!
Once this happens, the heavenly power that the heavens will put on him will be greatly reduced, and then he will be able to shelter Chen Dong on the heavenly path for a longer distance with less heavenly power.
Unlike Chen Dong, who knew nothing about the Heaven Treading Path, he was a Jiang Family Qilin who had received the best education since he was a child and had been designated as a candidate for Heaven Treading.
On the Heavenly Path, the closer you get to the Heavenly Gate, the stronger the Heavenly Might will be.
But this kind of strength is all limited to a specific range, not an unlimited and crazy output.
If we count the total amount of heavenly power on the Heavenly Road as “one”, then he has now withstood 60% of it, and the amount is increasing as he burns more fiercely with his Qilin blood.
However, if Gu Cangyue sacrificed the Great Cauldron, he would be locked in the first moment by the Heavenly Might, which would then be diverted, and the total amount of “one” would be quickly dismantled, reducing his pressure.
At that time, not only would he be able to resist, but he would also be able to carry Chen Dong directly on the heavenly path!
But there was a prerequisite for all this, and that was for Gu Cangyue to sacrifice the Great Cauldron!
Even though the Heavenly Might had compressed his Qi barrier to an extremely dangerous level, he still didn’t move at all!
Jiang Qilin knew the function of the Great Cauldron, and had even surmised that after Gu Cangyue had sacrificed it, he would probably fight him and Chen Dong to the death.
But in the current situation, Gu Cangyue’s sacrifice of the Great Cauldron was the only way to temporarily ease his and Chen Dong’s situation!
When he burned his Qilin blood, he had never thought that he would be able to enter the Heavenly Gate, so he was not as worried and afraid as his six grandfathers were when Gu Cangyue sacrificed the Great Cauldron, and he thought that he would be able to save Chen Dong with his own power and the power of his Qilin blood when Gu Cangyue sacrificed the Great Cauldron!
GAZZ …… GAZZ ……
The air barrier around Gu Cang Yue’s robe is fluttering, but under the destruction of a heavenly might blood sword, it is making an unbearable sound.
The air barrier is already reduced to a diameter of ten meters by the tide of Heavenly Might swords, and with him as the centre, the air barrier around him only extends five meters.
Such a distance was more than enough for a battle between the Hidden Worlds, and the chance to mediate was more than enough.
But in the face of the heavenly might of the heavens, this could already be considered a line of death!
His face was already as pale as paper, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and the qi in his body was like a river that had broken down and was being wildly released, squeezing as hard as it could.
But he still hadn’t sacrificed the Great Cauldron!
Not far away, the black-robed Heavenly Wolf was just like him, both of them were holding on for dear life.
The black-robed Heavenly Wolf clenched his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between them, “Gu Cangyue, are you going to take the Great Cauldron into the earth with you?”
Gu Cang Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled conspiratorially, “Are you, then, going to take the Sky Wolf Martial Dao Body into the earth?”
