The ancient starry road, rugged and winding.

On the crisscrossing ancient road, countless crossroads lay ahead, as all forbidden characters cautiously moved forward, deeply afraid of straying into a wrong path and losing their way in the ancient starry road.

Yet, as these forbidden characters advanced, they maintained their distance from others; none trusted each other, and all were wary of hidden malice.

"Where is that guy?"

The Undying Heavenly Lord moved forward cautiously, his crimson eyes constantly surveying his surroundings, a hint of dread flickering across them.

There’s a saying that your enemy knows you best; indeed, the Undying Heavenly Lord knew Ye Xuan very well.

Regarding this sinister and ruthless character, even if the Undying Heavenly Lord thought with his toes, he could guess that Ye Xuan was determined to put him to death.

Similarly, he wished to tear Ye Xuan into pieces and scatter his ashes.

Yet, all along this journey, he couldn’t catch a glimpse of Ye Xuan, who evidently moved ahead of them.

Unease brewed in the Undying Heavenly Lord’s heart; according to his understanding of Ye Xuan, this guy must be contemplating in the shadows how to kill him.

Although uneasy, the Undying Heavenly Lord remained somewhat confident because he had already become forbidden; given Ye Xuan’s cultivation, killing him was impossible.

"Everyone, once we pass this narrow dragon serpentine path, we will reach the end of the ancient road and can enter the Ancient Forbidden Land. However, I must remind everyone, this dragon serpentine path has numerous restrictions, so you must be cautious and prudent. Otherwise, if you fall into a restriction, you must fend for yourself."

The Chaos Divine Sovereign coldly reminded before stepping forward onto the narrow dragon serpentine path; clearly, the others weren’t novices on the ancient starry road, following suit onto this final ancient road.

The Undying Heavenly Lord frowned slightly as he looked at the final segment of the dragon serpentine path, a hint of concern flickering in his eyes.

He’s utterly sure that within this final segment of the dragon serpentine path, Ye Xuan will undoubtedly make a move, perhaps waiting for him for quite a while.

The Undying Heavenly Lord understood Ye Xuan too well, because this was the perfect opportunity that Ye Xuan wouldn’t let pass.

"Where is this guy hiding?"

All forbidden characters had entered the final dragon serpentine path, yet the Undying Heavenly Lord delayed stepping onto the ancient path, squinting his eyes while observing this ancient road, his unease growing stronger, sensing that Ye Xuan would act here.

Go!

The Undying Heavenly Lord didn’t hesitate for long. Seeing all forbidden characters moving deeper, delaying further would force him to travel alone.

Swoosh!

With one step, the Undying Heavenly Lord quickly entered the dragon serpentine path. Fortunately, the forbidden characters ahead paved the way, saving him a lot of trouble.

...

"He’s here!"

At the central section of the dragon ancient path, Ye Xuan’s forehead symbol glowed and pulsed slightly, rendering him invisible, as he silently triggered the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation. Around him, bubbles appeared, revealing an ancient, desolate aura.

These bubbles were no ordinary phenomena, formed by the grand restrictions left by the ancient strong practitioners, containing immense danger.

Ye Xuan was extraordinarily sinister, using the mysterious symbol formed by the Ancient Battle Soul to gather these grand restrictions, intending to annihilate the Undying Heavenly Lord.

Ye Xuan remained exceedingly calm, knowing that with his current cultivation and methods, killing the Undying Heavenly Lord would be extremely challenging.

The Undying Heavenly Lord had become forbidden, his cultivation higher by one Great Realm; Ye Xuan couldn’t use all his trump cards on him, for he still faced many forbidden obstacles in the Ancient Forbidden Land, hence relying on ancient practitioners’ grand restrictions to slaughter the Undying Heavenly Lord was the best choice.

In truth, Ye Xuan considered using these grand restrictions to kill other forbidden characters, but he merely entertained the thought without intending to act.

These forbidden characters were not taking their first step here, having lived endless ages, incomparable to the Undying Heavenly Lord.

If failing to kill them, entering the Ancient Forbidden Land would spell huge trouble for Ye Xuan.

Closer!

Ever closer!

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, intensely watching as forbidden characters approached his position, the Chaos Divine Sovereign leading.

Ye Xuan activated the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation, rigorously concealing his presence, while the mysterious symbol on his forehead jolted, merging him seamlessly with the ancient starry road, rendering his existence undetectable.

Ye Xuan remained cautious and vigilant; after all, the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation had limited impact on these old guys, truly hiding his presence was reliant on the mysterious symbol formed by the Ancient Battle Soul which allowed him to remain concealed here.

Boom!

A dull sound erupted as the first to pass by Ye Xuan was the Chaos Divine Sovereign, merely three feet away, Ye Xuan tensed, fearful of being sensed by the Divine Sovereign.

Thankfully!

The Chaos Divine Sovereign walked past Ye Xuan, seemingly unaware of his presence. Yet, at that moment, the Chaos Divine Sovereign furrowed his brow slightly, and his steps momentarily halted.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan’s expression shifted; had this old fellow sensed his existence?

As Ye Xuan prepared to heighten his vigilance, the Chaos Divine Sovereign merely paused for a breath, his peripheral vision subtly gauging Ye Xuan’s direction, then continued toward the road’s end.

"Impressive indeed!"

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes; this dangerous entity emerging from the Chaos River indeed was formidable, vaguely sensing something off.

The second to pass Ye Xuan was the Eternal Shadow, a terrifying elder. As he passed Ye Xuan, his mouth curled into an eerie smile, continuing to the road’s end as if nothing unusual occurred.

Subsequently, one forbidden character after another walked past Ye Xuan; some paused slightly, while others passed without a clue of his presence.

Finally!

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered as the Undying Heavenly Lord’s figure appeared before him, moving toward his location.

Stepping cautiously, scanning closely, the Undying Heavenly Lord inspected his surroundings with every move, the unease within him mounting, a huge sense of impending danger loomed.

Something’s wrong!

Danger lurks!

Definitely dangerous!

Bang!

As the Undying Heavenly Lord approached Ye Xuan, his spirit trembled violently, causing the forbidden Death Light to erupt, enveloping him protectively, elevating his cultivation to its peak.

Now’s the time!

"Die!"

Bang!

As the Undying Heavenly Lord finally neared, Ye Xuan roared savagely, bloodthirst surging in his eyes as he swung a palm toward the Undying Heavenly Lord.

"I knew you’d never give up your wicked ways!"

The Undying Heavenly Lord was already prepared, roaring venomously, striking a palm toward Ye Xuan, terrifying forbidden Death Light howling forth; he’d planned this strike long awaiting Ye Xuan’s emergence.
