171: The situation of the imperial road
The Emperor Road Twelfth Gate, Zhennan Pass!
At this time, the strongest Prides of the Heavens on the Emperor Road had all arrived at this gate.
The trial for this gate was a nine-story Demon Tower, and one could only pass after clearing all of its floors.
Nine floors in total; just thinking about it revealed the difficulty of this gate!
The seventh floor of the Demon Tower.
The Nine Crown King was currently inside it.
At this moment, the Nine Crown King was disheveled and looked battered, having lost the high spirits he had when he first stepped onto the Emperor Road.
The guardian of this floor of the Demon Tower was an ancient fierce beast—a Qilin!
The Qilin had transformed into a human, with a pair of purple horns on his head and clad in purple Qilin armor, his entire aura immensely powerful.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, the Nine Crown King was engaged in a fierce battle with the Qilin.
Various divine abilities and precious arts continuously bloomed with dazzling light.
And the aftershocks generated by their battle were even more terrifying, almost overturning the entire seventh floor of the Demon Tower!
Bang!
With a moment of carelessness, the Nine Crown King was directly sent flying by the Qilin, heavily crashing onto the ground.
“Damn it! A mere beast, trying to defeat me?!”
The Nine Crown King roared, his fighting spirit boiling, and he leaped up again, resuming his fierce battle with the Qilin.
.......
The eighth floor of the Demon Tower.
Leng Ruoli and another Young man had charged into this floor.
Leng Ruoli felt incredibly surprised by this Young man.
With such strength, why had he never been heard of before?
And the Young man was also somewhat surprised that Leng Ruoli could maintain the same progress.
Although he had forgotten his own identity, he vaguely remembered that he was once an unparalleled Genius who had dominated the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands...
The guardian of this floor was a Sea God holding a trident, radiating a brilliant azure light, incredibly divine.
The Sea God was not easy to deal with; this was easily discernible, as even Leng Ruoli and the mysterious Young man could not suppress him...
“Humans, like ants, you are no match for me. Leave quickly.”
The Sea God held his trident and spoke coldly, his tone disdainful.
“Just a water ghoul, what right do you have to say such things!”
The tattered mysterious Young man roared, activating a mysterious Cultivation Technique, and directly struck out at the Sea God.
Upon seeing this, the Sea God swung his trident fiercely.
Instantly, a terrifying tsunami enveloped the entire space, surging towards the Young man.
Boom!
With a loud bang, both took a few steps back.
“Divine Phoenix Fire Domain!”
“Immortal Heavenly Phoenix Fire, burn!”
At this moment, Leng Ruoli, in her red dress, also made her move.
With a cold shout, terrifying divine flames instantly ignited, forming a massive fire domain, intending to incinerate everything!
Upon seeing this, the Sea God quickly activated his magic power.
Immediately, brilliant blue light shone, carrying the might of the ocean, and attacked Leng Ruoli.
For a moment, the scene was incredibly spectacular.
Boom!
With another loud bang, both retreated.
However, this time, Leng Ruoli's retreat was noticeably less pronounced than the Sea God's.
…
At this time, the Prides of the Heavens who had returned to the Emperor Road from the Burial Emperor Star also perked up, beginning to catch up vigorously.
Especially Lin Feng and Jian Wushuang; both knew that they had not only wasted time on the Burial Emperor Star but also gained nothing.
Therefore, after returning to the Emperor Road, they were as if injected with adrenaline, beginning to challenge the gates.
Of course, the results they achieved were quite good; in less than half a day, they had already reached the tenth gate...
As time passed, various Prides of the Heavens all displayed their own brilliance, reaching their own heights, forging their reputation on this blood-stained Emperor Road.
In this process, some fell, some rose, and countless bones paved the Emperor Road.
.......
Three days later.
A figure like a Fairy emerged from the Emperor Road Twelfth Gate.
This Fairy was Leng Ruoli.
She began to exert herself, being the first to pass through the Emperor Road Twelfth Gate.
After passing the gate, Leng Ruoli did not choose to directly proceed to the Emperor Road Thirteenth Gate but stood under the starry sky, gazing back at the path she had taken.
“I wonder how Su Xuan is doing now? Given his strength, he should be catching up by now...”
Leng Ruoli frowned, a hint of worry appearing on her face.
“Woman, what exactly is your identity?”
A voice sounded; it was the tattered mysterious Young man.
He had also passed the trial of the Demon Tower and emerged from the Emperor Road Twelfth Gate.
At this moment, the mysterious Young man had developed an interest in Leng Ruoli, wanting to know her identity.
“What does it concern you?”
In response, Leng Ruoli merely replied indifferently.
She simply didn't want to bother with this mysterious Young man.
“In my memory, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that! Woman, you are the first!”
The mysterious Young man's face darkened, and his tone instantly turned cold.
“Want to fight?”
Leng Ruoli's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke with equal coldness.
Leng Ruoli's temper was exactly like Su Xuan's; if she could fight, she would never waste words.
“Battle!” the mysterious Young man roared.
Thus, on the Emperor Road, the battle between Leng Ruoli and the mysterious Young man was on the verge of breaking out.
.......
At this time, Jian Wushuang, Lin Feng, and several other astonishing Prides of the Heavens had already arrived at the Emperor Road Twelfth Gate, beginning to clear the Demon Tower.
Emperor Road Twelfth Gate, where the most outstanding Prides of the Heavens on the Emperor Road gathered!
