"Perhaps I've been asleep for too long; I've lost part of my memory. Everyone speculates about my origins, but even I don't know where I came from!"

"However, this ancient path is extremely mysterious, it might lead me to the answers!"

The Beast Emperor steps onto the ancient path, not out of greed for creation, but in search of answers within his heart.

The Beast Emperor stands as the foremost in the Heavenly Tao Realm, and his prestige in the beast race is unparalleled. Even the Chaotic World Demon Ape and Nine-Dragon Dog hold him in high regard.

Badao, Qinglian, and others are powerful beings of the human Heavenly Dao, yet they must show great respect toward this Beast Emperor.

Thus, the Beast Emperor is a living legend, an undefeated myth!

But what is extraordinary about the Beast Emperor to have reached such heights?

On the virtual battleground, there are many legends about the Beast Emperor; whether his true form was a little duck, his rise to power, the time of his birth...

Yet, legends remain as mere tales, no one dares to verify them!

In truth, the Beast Emperor's existence is ancient; it existed when the virtual battleground existed! However, the Beast Emperor has lived so long that he has forgotten many things, including who he is!

This ancient path is a forbidden zone of the battleground, unopened for hundreds of thousands of years, hiding unknown secrets.

The Beast Emperor wishes to enter it, to seek answers, and reclaim his lost memories.

"Chase!"

Qing Ge and others have all followed, seeing the Beast Emperor's footsteps unwavering, feeling a sense of urgency.

The depths of the ancient path harbor secrets, their nature unknown, constantly attracting them.

The further they advance, this feeling grows stronger, as if called by some force.

If it is a transcendent fate, obtaining it might mean surpassing the Heavenly Dao, and being above the Beast Emperor!

Therefore, each of them is strongly desirous of the treasures within the depths of the ancient path!

"The virtual battleground is a cage, imprisoning us for too long; we must transcend the Heavenly Dao and break this cage!"

The virtual battleground is an unknown world; none know when it was created or why it exists.

However, there is a powerful rule influencing all life, even the Heavenly Dao can't escape its interference.

Heavenly Dao beings command three thousand powers, with unimaginable Divine Skills, almost able to create worlds.

Yet, the Heavenly Dao beings in the virtual battleground are all trapped here, unable to escape for hundreds of thousands of years!

Qing Ge, Badao, Xuan Ding, Xiao Shi, Giant Axe, Beast Emperor, Chaotic World Demon Ape, Nine-Dragon Dog, eight Heavenly Dao beings in total, which among them doesn't desire to leave this place, but all are bound by its rules.

They have been tormented to the brink of insanity, constantly yearning to depart.

However, to shatter this cage, just three thousand powers aren't enough; one must rise above the Heavenly Dao!

Within the ancient path lies hidden creation, which might grant them a way to escape this abyssal cage.

"What are these people searching for, why are they acting like they're insane?"

Ye Chen, accompanied by Qing Ge and Zi Han, leisurely trails behind, quickly sensing something amiss.

Qinglian Sword Immortal, Ancestor Badao, Giant Axe, and others are exceedingly fierce, rushing toward the depths of the ancient path as if possessed.

Clearly, the depths of the ancient path hold creation compelling their hearts, driving them to obtain it.

"Qinglian, Badao, and others are too fierce; while we might protect ourselves, competing for the fate will certainly be challenging." Qing Ge said.

She and Zi Han have just embarked on the Heavenly Dao, their foundations unsteady, unable to rival Qinglian and others.

"One must be content," Ye Chen said. "We've gained plenty during our time in the virtual battleground; if we can't contest the creation in the ancient path's depths, so be it."

"Yet, we must find that passageway; once we return to the primary universe, it must be destroyed, or disaster will strike!"

Ye Chen has achieved much on this journey and wishes only to return to the primary universe, not to complicate matters further.

"Mm!"

Qing Ge and Zi Han nodded; having ascended to the Heavenly Dao, they too are content, not wanting further strife.

Moreover, they have lingered here too long; Qing Ge wishes to return to Baihua Palace, while Zi Han misses her daughter... returning to the primary universe is crucial; creation can be left to fate.

"Boom rumble!"

Suddenly, a vast aura pervades, enveloping the entire ancient path, shocking everyone.

Soon after, a unique fragrance emerges, akin to Immortal Elixir yet more wondrous.

"What is this?"

Ye Chen smells the fragrance, momentarily stunned, his hair standing on end.

Ye Chen isn't a simpleton unacquainted with Immortal Elixir; on the contrary, he's consumed much Immortal Elixir and is familiar with that aroma.

From the depths of the ancient path wafts a more miraculous scent than Immortal Elixir, stirring one's soul.

Even Ye Chen, disinterested in competition, finds his intrigue piqued; what is this?

"Heavens, it is the Dragon-slaying Fruit, capable of aiding one to surpass the Heavenly Dao!"

"This is the true creation!"

"The Dragon-slaying Fruit takes a million years to mature, incredibly rare, how does it appear here?"

"The Dragon-slaying Fruit has emerged, where is the Dragon-slaying Tree?"

"Forget about the Dragon-slaying Tree for now, even if it has gained sentience, it's only as powerful as the Heavenly Dao, it can't stop us!"

"Slay, acquire the Dragon-slaying Fruit, surpass the three thousand powers, break this cage!"

Indeed, the fragrance's appearance causes turmoil in the ancient path's depths, Heavenly Tao beings battle fiercely over it.

The Dragon-slaying Fruit is an extreme sacred fruit, benefitting the Heavenly Dao, enabling one to take a crucial step.

Yet this fruit is so rare, more so than the Immortal Elixir, a challenge to see in a million years.

Heavenly Dao beings flock to the ancient path's depths; seeing this precious fruit, naturally they go mad, desperately vying for it.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the sky explodes, Heavenly Dao power sweeps all, almost severing the ancient path.

A fruit floats in midair, surrounded by nine dragons, emitting enticing fragrance, affecting everyone's nerves.

"Badao, help me hold back the multitude; if I obtain the Dragon-slaying Fruit, I'll share half!"

Qinglian Sword Immortal seems like a divine sword born, accompanied by ten thousand eight thousand swords, transforming into a brilliant river of swords, aiming to clear this domain and monopolize the Dragon-slaying Fruit.

However, those present are all Heavenly Dao beings, none ordinary; Qinglian Sword Immortal wants to sweep them all, how could it be easy?

Thus, he wishes to ally with Ancestor Badao, jointly vying for the Dragon-slaying Fruit, to split it equally.

"The Dragon-slaying Fruit embodies rules, allowing one to transcend the Heavenly Dao."

"Yet, if the Dragon-slaying Fruit is divided, it loses its marvelous use, becoming useless even if acquired."

The Dragon-slaying Fruit is more miraculous than Immortal Elixir, even when divided, its marvels remain boundless. But Ancestor Badao wishes to obtain it whole, leveraging that ultimate power to step into the Heavenly Tao Domain!

"You wish to wholly possess it, how can it be so easy?"

Ancestor Badao refuses to cooperate, provoking Qinglian Sword Immortal to give an angry laugh, with a hint of sarcasm.

Ancestor Badao is indeed formidable, but this place hosts many strong beings, Chaotic World Demon Ape, Nine-Dragon Dog, Xuan Ding, Giant Axe, Xiao Shi—who among them isn't formidable?

Ancestor Badao wants to monopolize the Dragon-slaying Fruit, how could it be so easy?

"The matter lies in human power!" Ancestor Badao declared.

"Alright, then let's see who gets lucky enough to obtain the Dragon-slaying Fruit!"

They all possess equal strength; whoever gets the Dragon-slaying Fruit will be mostly due to luck.

Thus, none of them concede to one another; it's up to individual fate.

"Dragon-slaying Fruit?" Ye Chen arrives at the battlefield's edge, gazing at the Dragon-slaying Fruit, a flash of fervor in his eyes.

"Do you wish to obtain this fruit? I can help you snatch it." Then, the Beast Emperor approaches Ye Chen, surprisingly offering to help him seize the fruit.
