Facing the imminent opening of the Void Ancient Path, they needed to bring out all their strength. Breaking through their realms was clearly the most appropriate choice. Otherwise, in front of so many top celestial geniuses, they lacked a competitive edge.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Xiang, you two are about to break through as well, right?" Wang Xiu suddenly asked, looking toward Xiang Tiange and Li Zuiyue.

"No rush!" Xiang Tiange was very calm, his gaze turning toward the depths of the crowd. "After entering the Ancient Path, our real competitors will be those people!"

Following his gaze, everyone saw several figures that stood out starkly from the rest.

On the surface, they appeared to belong to a particular Immortal Sect. But among the other geniuses from the same sect, they seemed strangely distant, as if a barrier separated them.

Yet their auras were all very strong. The weakest was above the seventh tier of the Golden Core Realm, and those at the Nascent Soul Realm were numerous.

These were the favored children of heaven born within the Holy Realm. All below the age of one hundred, they would enter the Void Ancient Path alongside them.

Xiang Tiange wasn't worried about the other celestial geniuses from the outside world. The Golden Core Ranking had already proven his strength; those people, even if they broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, would be unable to threaten him. But the geniuses from the Holy Realm were an uncontrollable factor.

He intended to play it safe, building a solid foundation for a spectacular breakthrough. The day he finally stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, he had to be able to suppress most of the Holy Realm geniuses!

Li Zuiyue shared this idea, declaring grandiosely, "If I'm not going to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, so be it. But once I do, I will soar to the heavens and become a Sword Immortal with sword in hand!"

[Ding!]

[Detected nearby boasting. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +99!]

Wang Xiu was speechless. He looked at Huang Yunchong, whose shifty eyes were scanning the female Fairies around them, and couldn't help but tease, "Senior Brother Huang, are you also planning to walk the path of invincibility?"

Huang Yunchong rolled his eyes. "Who would walk that path? If none of you break through and I do it alone, I'll have the highest realm in the crowd. Wouldn't everyone target me then? I'm not stupid!"

Everyone: "..."

RUMBLE!

Just then, the ground began to shake violently.

Everyone stared at the end of the vast road, their faces full of anticipation. There, a mystical haze filled the sky, hazy and elusive, occasionally stirring with shimmering light. This was the entrance to the Void Ancient Path.

The Ancient Forest was just the beginning; the Void Ancient Path marked the raising of the grand curtain, when all strife would erupt in full force.

Everyone was stirred. It felt as though a celestial deity was awakening from a deep slumber, opening its eyes amidst the Chaos as streaks of lightning tore across the sky.

At the edge of the land, Chaos surged. Lightning intertwined, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down as if it were the end of days.

"The passage is about to form!" Luo Hongyi suddenly announced. "Everyone, leave a Spiritual Imprint on each other. After entering the Void Ancient Path, our positions will be randomized. However, those who enter at the same time won't be too far apart. Leaving an imprint will make it easier to reunite!"

As she spoke, she demonstrated on the spot, carving runes and teaching the method for the Spiritual Imprint. This was a Spell designed specifically for the Void Ancient Path. It wasn't very difficult; most could master it after one or two tries.

Without hesitation, everyone soon bore the imprints of the others. This would allow them to briefly sense their teammates' locations within a small range inside the Void Ancient Path.

The Void Ancient Path, though called an ancient path, was in reality a small world filled with danger. Every time it opened, many celestial geniuses perished, so extreme caution was necessary.

"Get ready, it's about to open!"

In an instant, the entire ancient city was abuzz with activity. Everyone was in motion. The sky filled with countless celestial geniuses taking flight. Some rode on young Demon Butterflies, others stood on flying tigers, and a few strode through the void like young war gods. Runes sparkled around each of them, all ready to charge toward the end of the land.

"Charge!" someone yelled.

Countless people surged forward.

The end of the land was a vast expanse of white, surging and roiling. The entire world seemed to boom and shudder from the impact, as if a white tidal wave was blanketing everything. The scene was spectacular—something most people would never witness in their lifetimes. It was like thousands of cavalry thundering forward, a rumbling roar that filled the air as the terrifying, boundless white mist struck the heavens.

Heaven and earth seemed to split open, revealing a broad passage.

Everyone rushed in, as if being swallowed whole.
