Chapter 477: Chapter 223: Shocking Sword Scar, Heaven-Reaching Road, Godslaying Sword (Part 3)

The mighty fleet of over a thousand flying boats seemed so insignificant in front of those battle scars.

As Ye Xiaofan and the others’ flying boat soared over a particular sword mark in the earth, everyone wore an expression of utter astonishment.

Below the flying boat, a vast sword mark pierced through the land, its depth unknown, vast and boundless, over a thousand flying boats skimmed above the sword mark, as if flying over the crest of a boundless ocean, seemingly unable to see the end of the sword mark at a glance.

"My god, what kind of divine being could have created such a terrifying sword mark?"

The pinnacle representative of a legendary figure panted heavily, eyes flooded with towering waves, just a single sword mark made the scalp tingle with fear, as if one could imagine the divine battle of gods and demons at that time, with a deity standing atop the ninth heaven, slicing down with a sword, tearing the earth, stretching endlessly across mountains and rivers, destroying heavens and earth, unimaginably terrifying.

Everyone raced forward, the "Valley of Space-Time" echoing with whispers of gods and demons, constantly impacting everyone’s hearts.

Not long after, all the flying boats had flown for just a brief moment.

Suddenly, everyone abruptly looked up, staring dumbfounded at the horizon ahead, faces full of shock.

"Look quickly, what is that?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, seeing countless terrifying ancient stone pillars stretching across the horizon ahead, countless and arranged in order like an army, incredibly impactful.

Moreover, those ancient stone pillars emitted endless sacred and shocking golden light, with a terrifying and vast aura, converging together, unsettling the heart.

Even more terrifying was when Ye Xiaofan and the others looked up along the ancient stone pillars, they found the pillars soaring into the sky, with no end in sight, seemingly reaching the ninth heaven, piercing through the entire universe, reaching unknown heights.

Even Luo Qingxian, a legendary figure of the Self-Slaying Realm, was infinitely shocked upon seeing the scene ahead.

"It’s the Path to Heaven!"

Immediately, a terrifying figure spoke, the tone filled with shock.

"Path to Heaven? What does it mean? Could it lead to the ninth heaven?" Someone was greatly shocked upon hearing, heart instantly pounding rapidly.

However, with the explanations of many Self-Slaying Realm legendary figures, everyone quickly understood the origin of this name.

"The Path to Heaven is not truly a path to the heavens, its name originates from those unknown ancient stone pillars, resembling Heaven-Reaching Pillars reaching the sky, the end unseen, thus ancestors of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region called it the Path to Heaven."

"The Path to Heaven, in fact, is also called the ’Gate of Comprehension’, a gate of elimination used to test the comprehension of cultivators passing through, those with poor comprehension can’t even reach the end of the Stone Pillar Forest."

The end of the Stone Pillar Forest is their true goal this journey, holding opportunities that would drive all cultivators mad.

However, this opportunity is unlike the previous ones, not some legacy or divine weapon, but something most crucial for cultivators.

Countless pinnacle representatives of Self-Slaying Realm legendary figures were amazed while also filled with endless lament.

"The Path to Heaven is truly a roadblock."

"To get through, we can only pair up in twos, with one Self-Slaying Realm strongman joining a True Self Realm cultivator, to jointly face the comprehension test of the Path to Heaven." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"This test is like tying two people together, not only extremely demanding on comprehension but also with certain requirements on current cultivation, without sufficient cultivation, even if the comprehension passes, it would delay a lot of time, falling behind others."

"And combinations with insufficient comprehension might not even reach the end of the Path to Heaven, missing out on that heaven-defying opportunity."

"Senior, must two people progress in tandem?"

A cultivator couldn’t help but ask, the Self-Slaying Realm legendary figures all nodded, yet slightly shook their heads.

"Not exactly, if someone is willing, they can fuse two ’Space-Time Main Steles’ at once, someone who fuses two pieces can also traverse the Path to Heaven, but the limiting costs will double, very few choose to fuse two at the same time due to the greater risk."

This statement made numerous True Self Realm legendary figures show an enlightened look.

"So it means that in order to pass through the Path to Heaven and gain the opportunity beyond, not only do we need to pair up to enter, but also must act in unison?"

Someone raised a question, the legendary figures of the Self-Slaying Realm nodded helplessly.

"It’s not just that, once entering in pairs, neither can surpass the other, nor can either fall behind, fellow juniors must remember this strongly, or unimaginable consequences will occur."

Someone sighed, "Pairing up is actually a helpless move related to our ’Space-Time Main Stele’, strictly speaking, the ’Space-Time Main Stele’ is a whole, which can’t be too far apart, otherwise it will be mercilessly killed by the restrictions on the Path to Heaven."

In other words, it’s because of the existence of the ’Space-Time Main Stele’ that invisibly links people together, which is one reason why the legendary figures of the Hundred Sects formed pairs from the start.

Without the fusion of the ’Space-Time Main Stele’, they couldn’t even enter the Path to Heaven.

Knowing this, some True Self Realm cultivators looked firmly at the Self-Slaying Realm legendary figures who chose them, determined: "Senior sister, rest assured, I will definitely not drag you down."

Apparently, on the Path to Heaven, everyone here is linked in pairs; how far they can go, whether they reach the end of the Path to Heaven, depends on mutual survival, no one can leave anyone behind, and True Self Realm cultivators with low comprehension and cultivation are bound to affect the senior brothers and sisters of the Self-Slaying Realm.

Of course, these juniors were all carefully selected by them, with terrifying capabilities in every aspect, and the Path to Heaven tests comprehension, which is not greatly linked to cultivation. Once inside, maybe True Self Realm legendary figures become the mainstay.

After realizing they have to pass through the Path to Heaven, many legendary figures of the Hundred Sects couldn’t help but cast a subconscious look towards Ye Xiaofan and Luo Qingxian, especially the Divine Sword Sect’s legendary figures.

"Junior Sister Luo, choosing him was the biggest mistake of your life, despite his terrifying comprehension, ultimately his cultivation is too weak and will surely hold you back," pursued an admirer of the Divine Sword Sect without reservation, clearly emotional.

Luo Qingxian didn’t respond upon hearing, the person in front may have weaker cultivation, but his comprehension was astoundingly divine, whether he’d hold her back was something she knew well, even Luo Qingxian feared that she might hold him back.

Ye Xiaofan didn’t say a word upon hearing, staring intently at the Path to Heaven, eyes brimming with endless brilliance.

Because on the Path to Heaven, amidst the countless Heaven-Reaching Pillars, innumerable ancient and terrifying objects seemed to float silently.

And within the endless floating objects, Ye Xiaofan saw an awe-inspiring ancient artifact.

It was a sword, an incredibly ancient and terrifying Divine Sword, quietly suspended above the boundless void of the Heaven-Reaching Pillars, emitting world-shocking divine might.

"Senior Sister Luo, is that...?"

Upon seeing the Divine Sword from afar, Ye Xiaofan’s breathing seemed to quicken, apart from the countless Heaven-Reaching Pillars on the Path to Heaven, endless terrifying ancient objects floated within, but the most shocking among them was that Divine Sword.

Luo Qingxian followed Ye Xiaofan’s gaze, her beautiful eyes rarely showing boundless movement, softly uttering two words: "Godslaying Sword!"
