“If I were to emerge, wielding the Supreme Ancestor’s killing moves, I could easily erase him!” Lin Xiao Monarch declared. “Now that the Grand Dao Sect, the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, and the Yao Family have allied, what should we do if we encounter someone from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone or the Yao Family? Kill them, or spare them?”
“If they shield anyone from the Grand Dao Sect,” the Dark Shadow Island Lord’s voice boomed, “kill them!”
Lin Xiao Monarch nodded. “Understood!”
Moments later, he departed Dark Shadow Island with a dozen figures, inscribing Spatial Array Patterns across the void, instantly traversing vast distances towards Fuzhou.

Meanwhile, within the Demon Court’s Minor World.
Crack! Boom!
Numerous Great Demons soared into the sky, their towering demonic energy surging across the firmament like an ocean overturning, all heading towards the main hall.
The Demon Lord had awakened. His surging, boundless vital energy filled the entire Minor World. “The Supreme Path has opened! My Demon Court will charge in with everything we have!”
The three Supreme Bloodline Old Ancestors had already arrived.
The Demon Lord manifested a phantom Titan Ape body, gazing down at the assembled Great Demons. “Today, Lü Yun will lead the first wave of our forces onto the Supreme Path.”
Lü Yun Old Ancestor! The Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme Old Ancestor of the Giant Insect Race!
Lü Yun Old Ancestor bowed respectfully. “I shall go and scout the path for the Demon Lord.”
The Demon Lord’s voice was deep and chilling. “If you encounter the White Robe Supreme, sever his head and bring his body back. My Demon Court will feast on his flesh!”
“Understood!”
Soon, Lü Yun Old Ancestor led a host of Great Demons towards Fuzhou.
***
At the Supreme Profound Sect’s ancestral lands.
Taichen Old Ancestor looked at Nangong Baixue. “Saintess, the other major powers have already headed to Fuzhou. How should our sect proceed?”
Nangong Baixue’s face was etched with annoyance. “Why did the Supreme Path have to open now? I haven’t fully refined the Ancestor’s inheritance power yet!”
Six-star Great Emperor pressure surged from her. After this period of refining the inheritance power, she had directly ascended three major realms.
However, on the Supreme Path, one needed to be at least a Nine-star Great Emperor to withstand the Starry Sky Power.
Nangong Baixue waved a dismissive hand. “Our sect will hold back for now. The Demon Lord, Dark Shadow Island Lord, and others haven’t emerged yet; they’re waiting for their people to send back news from the Supreme Path. We don’t need to rush. We’ll move once I reach Half-step Supreme.”
“Just give me two more months.”
Taichen Old Ancestor’s face was grim. “Saintess, we don’t have much time left.”
Nangong Baixue’s expression turned cold. “Once I reach Half-step Supreme, I can activate the Ancestor’s trump card. Then, I will lead you all to conquer the Supreme Path! For now, you can send a few Quasi-Dao Supremes to scout. But keep the Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes here; I’ll need them to protect me.”
Taichen Old Ancestor nodded. “Understood.”
Not long after, several Old Ancestors departed the Supreme Profound Sect.
“The Saintess’s refinement of the inheritance power is too slow, but she should still make it for the final battle.”
“The Supreme Path has only just begun. The true final battle will be when blood drenches the Southern Wilds!”
“The Saintess has already obtained the Ancestor’s authority; we can only assist her now.”
Once Taichen Old Ancestor had left the ancestral lands, Nangong Baixue stomped her foot in frustration.
“Ugh! Why couldn’t the Supreme Path wait until I was ready?!”
Qin Wang, ever subservient, offered comfort from the side. “Baixue, don’t worry. I believe that once you emerge, you’ll be able to suppress everyone.”
Nangong Baixue, still fuming, grabbed Qin Wang by his clothes. “Come with me.”
She pushed him down.
***
At the Grand Dao Sect.
On Azure Mystery Peak.
Lu Xuan looked at Ye Chen. “Alright, let’s go. I’ll send you to the Supreme Path. Once we’re there, I won’t interfere with anything below One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme.”
“With the Starry Sky Power now flowing in, you can use it to refine the Martial Ancestor’s power and truly comprehend the essence of martial arts!”
“Yes, Master!” Ye Chen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with resolve. “Don’t worry, I’ll carve out my own path!”
Lu Xuan immediately activated Supreme Spatial Array Patterns, and a profound energy enveloped him and Ye Chen.
Boom!
The two instantly vanished from their spot.
In the next instant, Lu Xuan and Ye Chen appeared directly within the Supreme Path.
Ye Chen looked up, scanning his surroundings.
He saw wisps of Starry Sky Power pouring into this world, like the dawn of creation, separating yin and yang. The spatial gales around them were like sharp blades, and shattered continents floated in the void, forming staircases to the heavens.
This newly opened world was immense! Far larger than the entire Southern Wilds!
Ye Chen stretched out his hands, and threads of Rule Power flowed like a gentle stream through his fingertips.
“The power of a Supreme!” Ye Chen felt a thrill in his heart. It was completely different from the power of a Great Emperor!
Ye Chen’s gaze continued upwards. This Supreme Path was endlessly long, like a celestial road reaching directly into the starry sky.
To open such a passage with the Bronze Ancient Palace, connecting the Primordial Realm’s Star Power to the Starry Sky Power, was truly a heaven-shaking feat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the far distance of the Supreme Path, the void tore open, and space twisted.
A dozen powerful auras surged into this realm. Demonic auras! Alien Race auras!
Ye Chen immediately summoned his Fire Refining Furnace, flames burning in his eyes. At this moment, his mind held only one word: “Battle!”
He would break through to Half-step Supreme in battle! He would comprehend Extreme Dao through combat!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From other directions, brilliant divine radiance erupted, burning like colossal suns.
Many major powers from the Southern Wilds were entering the Supreme Path!
Lu Xuan patted Ye Chen’s shoulder. “Your stage is vast.”
Ye Chen immediately soared into the sky, bathing in the Starry Sky Power, and charged forward.
Just then, the Green-skirted Girl’s voice echoed in Lu Xuan’s ear.
“Lu Xuan, come sit with me. I’m waiting for you at the end of the Supreme Path.”
“Coming!” Lu Xuan replied.
He immediately activated Spatial Array Patterns, his figure vanishing from his spot, reappearing at the very end of the Supreme Path.
The Green-skirted Girl stood at the edge of the starry path, smiling as she took Lu Xuan’s hand.
She leaned her head on Lu Xuan’s shoulder, her hair fluttering in the starry sky gales. She looked at Lu Xuan. “Come sit with me. It’s been a long time since anyone watched the starry sky with me.”
On the other side, Ye Chen, clad in white robes, his martial dao will surging like a torrent, radiated in all directions. His Martial Dao Seed, bathed in Star Power, began to shine brightly from his brow.
This Martial Dao Seed had absorbed the power of the Martial Refinement Great Emperor and a wisp of the Yanwu Sect’s Martial Ancestor’s will.
The Starry Sky Power awakened his Martial Dao Seed.
Ye Chen felt his entire body ignite, power flowing endlessly within him.
Boom!
He immediately soared into the sky, charging onto the Supreme Path! With each step, he covered a thousand zhang, crushing the shattered continental fragments beneath his feet. Martial Dao power roared around him as he moved like a rampaging star.
Three days later.
Everyone who had entered the Supreme Path was drawn to Ye Chen.
The Cold Race, Demon Court, Alien Races, and many other Southern Wilds powers all swept their Divine Sense towards Ye Chen.
“Who is this person? Why does his vital energy surge so powerfully, using martial arts to contend with the Starry Sky Power?”
“I sense his ‘Stance’ continuously condensing, like a seed drawing power!”
“That’s… Ye Chen! Lu Xuan’s second disciple, Ye Chen!”
“When did Ye Chen reach Nine-star Great Emperor?”
“Where’s the White Robe Supreme? Why isn’t he here?”
The Cold Race strongmen could no longer hold back and were the first to attack Ye Chen.
Following suit, the Demon Court and Dark Shadow Island forces also lost their patience.
“Kill!”
“Since Ye Chen has appeared, the Grand Dao Sect members must be nearby!”
Half a day later.
Boom! Crack!
The void where Ye Chen stood suddenly tore open.
A terrifying cold current surged out like a divine rainbow, instantly freezing the continent Ye Chen was on, encasing thousands of miles in ice.
“Ye Chen, die!”
