The battlefield of Shura Purgatory.
The blood-soaked sludge is unbearably blinding.
The earth has been ploughed over and over again, and mutilated limbs mixed in with the silt can be seen everywhere.
The number of beings on both sides who were actually standing, waiting to be harvested, was only a handful compared to the huge numbers before.
Even though Kunlun was only one of the “reapers”, a quick glance at him revealed that the existing “cornerstones” of the Heavenly Road were no longer enough to support the road for too long, let alone until Chen Dong and the others reached the Heavenly Gate!
The fact that the Heavenly Road was frantically drawing blood and not wasting a single drop was the best proof of this.
“If we don’t have these cornerstones, then what should we use to support the subsequent Heavenly Path?”
Kunlun frowned with a worried expression.
“Us! And them!”
Lin Lingdong’s voice suddenly came from the side.
Only then did Kunlun realise that Lin Lingdong was standing not far away from him.
As the number of Keystones dwindled, the scattered teams were merging in an orderly manner to facilitate a better harvest of the participating Keystones.
His words of concern were obviously heard by Lin Lingdong.
Compared to Kunlun, Lin Lingdong was more calculating.
This response, however, left Kunlun speechless after his shock.
It was.
The heavenly might swept across the world, and all the beings beneath the qi were fixed and imprisoned.
The “cornerstones” that can form the Heavenly Road are in the various battlefields centred around Zhenjiang City. If the harvesting of the “cornerstones” is over, but there is still a need to maintain the Heavenly Road, whether it is their Black Prison Army or the Faith Totem Army, it is obvious that there is not enough time to go further to harvest them. There is simply not enough time.
And when all the “cornerstones” are gone, these two armies are the best “cornerstones” to keep the Road of Heaven alive!
“Scared?”
Lin Lingdong wiped his bloodstained gold-rimmed glasses and pushed them up the bridge of his nose, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
“Afraid? I’m just worried that Brother Dong’s path isn’t enough to keep it going!”
Kunlun shrugged his shoulders with a frank smile, “I won’t hesitate when we really need to be the cornerstone, Brother Dong has already travelled such a long distance on the road to heaven, it would be a pity if it’s because we can’t do it as brothers.”
“I thought you were scared.”
Lin Lingdong shrugged and swept his gaze towards the army of faith totems further away, “But, it might not be our turn, at least that bunch of beasts will have to let them go ahead.”
“What if it’s our turn?” Kunlun asked.
Lin Lingdong pondered for a second, stretched and smiled spontaneously, “Then please, brother, slow down on the Yellow Spring Road, let’s go together, if Brother Dong can really bring us back to life again, we’ll have a companion on the way back.”
He finished.
He and Kunlun looked at each other with a smile.
Both knew the end result, yet both acted open and spontaneous, such a tacit understanding had been there since the time they had first entered the Black Prison together.
Countless blood, as it was harvested, soared into the air, turning into a long line of blood as the starry river drove the sea to converge on the heavenly road.
This endless blood, never broken, once broken, meant that the heavenly path would disappear.
And with the loss of the heavenly path, the so-called stepping into the sky is a delusion.
Soaring through the air does exist, but not in this present age.
What even Kunlun and Lin Lingdong perceived naturally could not escape Master Kongkong’s eyes.
“The cornerstones are getting fewer and fewer.” Master Empty Sky swept across the battlefield with worry.
With his eyesight, it was he who could look out over a great distance.
But what he saw was no different from what Kunlun saw.
“There will be a way.”
Chen Daojun had his hands behind his back, always gazing at the heavenly path.
Master Empty Sky glanced at Chen Daojun in surprise.
It was not that he and Chen Daojun had not noticed before this that the “cornerstone” of the Heavenly Road might not be enough, but as this issue was addressed time and again, Chen Daojun’s tone deepened a little bit in his certainty. Is there really a way?
However, seeing that Chen Daojun did not intend to elaborate, he did not pursue the matter.
Boom!
In the Heavenly Gate of the Nine Heavens, there was another loud sound.
Amidst the cracks, the lofty and looming Heavenly Gate rippled out again with the loud sound.
The ripples were faint and weak.
But with the moment of its appearance, the voices of the distant ancestors above the nine heavens were silenced for a moment.
And the purple qi that swept across the heavens tumbled and surged.
There was only a momentary pause.
The voice of the distant ancestor reappeared, and it was even more urgent and loud than earlier.
“The Heavenly Might changes again!”
The voice of the Sixth Master Jiang echoed across the heavenly path.
Behind him, Jiang Qilin immediately looked out warily towards the Nine Heavens Heavenly Gates, before quickly sweeping the surrounding Heavenly Path again.
But, strangely enough.
Everything was as usual!
The heavenly might remains the same, the tide of swords remains the same.
If there was the only difference, it was the voice of the distant ancestor overhead, which had changed.
“Could it be caused by the privileges of the Jiang family?”
Gu Cang Yue frowned and murmured in confusion.
The same doubt lingered in the minds of the black-robed Heavenly Wolf, Zhang Chunqiu and Cui Wendou.
They were not stupid, even without the reminder from Jiang Sixth Master, they could still deduce that the Heavenly Might had changed based on the change in the voice of the distant ancestor above the ninth heaven alone.
But while the Heavenly Might had changed, everything on the Heavenly Road remained the same, so where had the Heavenly Might changed to?
The next second.
Gu Cang Yue and the others’ bodies shook at the same time, as if they had been electrocuted.
While several people’s bodies trembled, their shoulders were visibly collapsed down a notch.
“Good, so heavy ……”
Cui Wendou was the first to redden his face, he himself a cut scholar, his body is soft, facing this sudden addition of the heavy Danyue, but physical strength.
And Zhang Chunqiu, Gu Cang Yue and black robed sky wolf, also not much better.
Suddenly, unawares.
The heavy weight of this vast mountain, which was like a prison, slowed everyone’s steps on the path to heaven.
Walking with the mountain at their backs was difficult!
Likewise.
The Sixth Master and Jiang Qilin were also slowed down by the sudden force of the mountain pressure.
“Grandpa ……”}
Jiang Qilin looked grave.
The Sixth Master Jiang in front of him, however, twisted his dragon body and continued forward, “Qilin’er is not afraid, grandpa is here!”
With the Sixth Master Jiang clearing the way, the two grandfathers and grandsons were clearly in a much better state than the rest of them, despite the force of the mountain pressure they were enduring.
“Damn it! Is the Jiang family’s privilege that all the heavenly might changes and is a cut weaker for them? This is too demonic!”
Gu Cang Yue’s eyes were full of red blood as he looked resentfully at Jiang Sixth Master and Jiang Qilin in front of him, and when it landed on Chen Dong, it became like a man-eating beast.
It was already a matter of life and death when it itself was suffering from the existing heavenly might and sword tide.
If they could speed up, anyone would want to rush frantically, but now with the mountain pressure on their bodies and their steps, it meant that in the same amount of time, the distance they travelled would be shorter than before, and the risk of death posed would skyrocket geometrically!
It was also while several people were struggling to move forward.
A barrier of golden light once again rose up around Jiang Liuxiang, blocking out the sounds of the outside world.
With that, his voice reached Jiang Qilin’s ears.
“Qilin’er, it is written in ancient texts that this is a very important part of the heavenly path, pressing the body to ask for the heart, once it is not resisted, even if the heavenly pride is able to carry all the heavenly might, the dao heart will instantly collapse and perish on the spot during the session of asking for the heart!”
