"This..."

"Is this going to directly advance to the Imperial Lord Realm?"

"Fantastic! Once Shi Heng advances to the Imperial Lord Realm, he will definitely break out of imprisonment. We are clearly top-tier warriors of the Heavenly King Realm, yet trapped here for a long time, naturally unwilling!"

Seeing Shi Heng already advancing to the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm, with his strength and momentum still progressing, these top-tier warriors instantly became excited.

Shi Heng.

About to break through to the Imperial Lord Realm!

"Break!"

Shi Heng stepped forward, with one hand reaching the sky. One end of the long river of time was grasped by Shi Heng, continuously absorbing the Power of the Time Great Dao, while Shi Heng absorbed this Power of the Great Dao into himself.

"Today, I charge towards the Imperial Lord Realm!"

Shi Heng shouted again!

The bold and lofty tone made these top-tier warriors even more excited.

"Advance to the Imperial Lord! Advance to the Imperial Lord!"

Some top-tier warriors directly shouted out.

Other top-tier warriors joined in.

They have been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years!

Tens of thousands of years is nothing to these top-tier warriors; just a blink of an eye for them.

But, they are top-tier warriors.

Top-tier warriors naturally roam freely between heaven and earth.

Being directly locked in a corner of this world, these top-tier warriors are naturally unwilling and wish to break free from this place that imprisons them!

Shadow furrowed his brow.

He wanted to intervene to stop Shi Heng from advancing to the Imperial Lord Realm.

Yet he hesitated.

After all, breaking through to the Imperial Lord Realm is truly stepping into the pinnacle level of this world.

If he acts at this moment to block Shi Heng's path to advancing to the Imperial Lord, it would be akin to a vendetta against Shi Heng.

If it were someone else, Shadow wouldn't need to worry about such issues.

He could directly intercept them!

But Shi Heng is different.

After all, what Shi Heng has comprehended is the Great Dao of Time.

Even the Lord of the Universe wishes to befriend Shi Heng.

"Forget it!"

Finally, Shadow gritted his teeth and chose not to gamble against Shi Heng directly.

If Shi Heng manages to break through to the Imperial Lord Realm, it is due to Shi Heng's own ability.

Moreover, during this period, he has not offended Shi Heng.

Even when Shi Heng descended privately, he merely brought Shi Heng back without doing anything harmful towards Shi Heng.

If Shi Heng breaks through to the Imperial Lord Realm, even if Shi Heng himself does not wish to stay, he would not simply break their cage and release others.

Shi Heng's momentum kept rising.

It seemed he was about to cross into the realm of the Imperial Lord.

All around, the chanting grew increasingly enthusiastic.

But, the trend of Shi Heng breaking through gradually faded away.

Even when everyone felt Shi Heng was just one step away from the Imperial Lord Realm, the momentum to break through disappeared.

"Alas."

Amongst the disappointed top-tier warriors unwilling to accept, Shi Heng sighed softly, his expression frustrated and dejected as he spoke:

"Ultimately... just the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm, unable to break through to the Imperial Lord Realm!"

Exhale.

Shadow, hearing Shi Heng's words, let out a breath.

Afterward, he glanced at Shi Heng with some doubts.

Shi Heng... was it truly impossible for him to break through to the Imperial Lord Realm?

Or did he choose not to break through?

After all, from the recent trend, Shi Heng breaking through to the Imperial Lord Realm didn't seem to be much of a problem.

He observed Shi Heng.

At this moment, Shi Heng, filled with resentment, gazed at the sky and punched towards the universe, creating cracks in the world barrier under the pressure of his attacks.

"Detestable! Despicable!"

Shi Heng cursed repeatedly!

"To breakthrough to the Imperial Lord Realm! Sitting here, comprehending for tens of thousands of years! Recently, to test whether my comprehension of the Great Dao of Time was correct, I did not hesitate to initiate a battle with Shadow! In the end, the Power of the Time Great Dao I comprehended only advanced my realm to Half-step Emperor Lord, unable to take me into the Imperial Lord Realm!"

Shi Heng's tone was filled with regret.

Advancing to the Imperial Lord Realm!

For many top-tier warriors, or rather, once for cultivators, their dream is to advance to the Imperial Lord Realm!

But Shi Heng, failed in his advancement.

Just now, these observing top-tier warriors saw Shi Heng's disappointed and resentful expression, feeling very regretful.

Even.

More regretful than Shi Heng himself!

They had been anticipating Shi Heng's breakthrough to the Imperial Lord Realm, yet unexpectedly, all their expectations vanished in such a short time.

Shi Heng did not advance successfully.

"Never mind, this failure in advancement, but with Brother Shi's talent, there will surely be more opportunities to advance to the Imperial Lord Realm next."

"Yes, Brother Shi is exceptionally gifted, even trapped here, he found a way to comprehend and advance to Half-step Emperor Lord. If he hadn't been imprisoned here over the years, it's likely Brother Shi would have already advanced to the Imperial Lord Realm."

"Brother Shi, you are different from us. Your advancement to the Imperial Lord Realm is only a matter of time, don't be discouraged this time; next time, you will surely succeed!"

Though Shi Heng did not advance to the Imperial Lord Realm, the attitude of these top-tier warriors towards Shi Heng had changed.

For.

Here, the strongest is only Shadow.

Shadow is also just at the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm.

Now, Shi Heng has become the only one at the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm apart from Shadow.

His strength is far superior to those of these warriors.

Previously, some top-tier warriors addressed Shi Heng as "Little Brother," but now, they have changed their address, calling him "Brother Shi."

Some even flattered Shi Heng by calling him "Imperial Lord Shi."

Shi Heng refused though.

The title of Imperial Lord is far too significant.

Only a Semi-Emperor.

How dare he be called Imperial Lord?

Soon.

Many top-tier warriors, under the order maintained by Shadow and the other three in control of the Golden Thunder Avenue Power, returned to their own dojos.

Shadow stood beside Shi Heng's dojo, glancing at Shi Heng, his usually cold gaze not appearing so icy when looking at Shi Heng.

Shadow hesitated a bit, but eventually spoke to Shi Heng: "Were you just capable of advancing to the Imperial Lord?"
