Tian Yuan

Chapter 1788 It’s worth it

Every corner of the ancient Yuanchu Road contains rules and powers that go beyond the common sense of time.

As soon as Zhou Shuheng stepped through the huge door, he felt a strong pressure coming over him, his heart was pounding with fear, and his body was shaking.

Only by entering the ancient road can you see the scenery inside.

A layer of light gray mist was floating around. Occasionally, some very ancient textures could be seen, as well as traces of battles that remained.

Invisible and unknown forces came from all directions, tearing at Zhou Shuheng's body with force, and the force was constantly increasing, making him look embarrassed and gradually unable to bear it.

A thick layer of protective barrier condensed on his body, emitting a faint light, resisting the power of the ancient road's rules.

He wanted to keep going forward and see more things.

However, his legs seemed to be tied here, stuck in the quagmire, unable to move.

The harder he tried, the more uncomfortable he felt. Every joint in his body made a crackling sound and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his face.

If we continue like this, we won’t be able to explore forward, let alone stay upright. The consequences will be disastrous.

“I can’t stop here!”

Zhou Shuheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his face gradually became hideous. Although his body was in great pain, his inner desire for the Quasi-Emperor realm was even stronger, overshadowing some of the suffering, and he only wanted to break his own limits and reach a higher position.

He gritted his teeth, mobilized all his strength, and used various means to pull his right foot out of the restraints and forcefully take a step forward.

However, this behavior is highly undesirable and will certainly come at a heavy price.

"boom!"

Zhou Shuheng's body moved forward a short distance, but before he could look around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain. Then, there was a cracking sound, and his right leg shattered due to the excessive load, turning into debris and blood mist.

Suddenly, one of Zhou Shuheng's legs was gone, and his body tilted suddenly. He swayed for several times before he managed to keep steady and did not fall.

Cold sweat soaked his whole body. The pressure from Gu Lu's rules was even stronger than before, making it difficult for him to support himself. His straight back gradually bent.

"I...can't give up."

Despite all the difficulties, Zhou Shuheng's faith remained unshaken and he wanted to persevere. In order to seek the great way and see the view at the top, he was willing to sacrifice everything, including his life.

Outside, everyone present was watching Zhou Shuheng stepping into the ancient road, their bodies tense and their hearts heavy.

"Patriarch Zhou really went in!"

"Even though I'm hundreds of thousands of miles away in the void, I can still feel the terrifying aura of the law. Clan leader Zhou actually dared to go there alone. He's really amazing."

"His leg is broken!"

"What kind of trouble did Brother Zhou run into?"

"It looks like he can't bear it any longer. Get out of here quickly, or he can still escape. Otherwise...he will die."

Thousands of eyes converged on one point. Some people watched the show, not caring about it. Some people seemed to be there, their faces pale, their hands clenched, and sweat seeped out of their palms.

"Clan leader!"

More than ten elders of the Jinshi Ancient Clan who were located here were extremely anxious and terrified when they saw Zhou Shuheng's tragic condition of breaking his leg and about to fall.

An elder wanted to send a message to Zhou Shuheng, asking him to come out quickly. Unfortunately, the sound transmission technique could not enter the Yuanchu Ancient Road at all, and it fell into oblivion without any response.

Not to mention that he couldn't hear it, even if he heard it, Zhou Shuheng would not be able to return it.

He knew that his potential had been exhausted, and without amazing luck, he would never be able to reach the ninth step in his lifetime.

When you reach the peak of the eighth step, if you don't take a gamble, your life will seem to have lost its purpose, and there will be little meaning no matter how long you live.

"I must succeed!"

Zhou Shuheng had gone mad, and his voice was hoarse like the growl of a wild beast.

He used his spiritual energy to form a transparent right leg. The light of the mysterious world protecting his body flickered continuously. His meridians expanded and dozens of cracks appeared on his skin.

He endured the tremendous pressure and took the second step towards the front.

"boom!"

In an instant, Zhou Shuheng's body could no longer bear it and exploded, leaving a bloody mess.

There was not a single part of his body that was intact. One of his eyeballs was shattered and half of his head was cracked. Thick blood and brain matter mixed together and flowed out from the wound. He looked miserable and shocking.

His internal organs were blown to pieces, his meridians were severed, and his foundation collapsed.

Zhou Shuheng still had one intact eyeball left. Regardless of his injuries, he stared straight ahead in a state of madness.

"Is that... Asgard?"

Just at this moment, the gray fog that was blocking his eyes drifted away. Therefore, Zhou Shuheng saw an ancient palace that was difficult to describe in words, which shocked his soul and had a strong impact.

The ancient temple was majestic, and the mountains and rivers and everything in it seemed insignificant, like dust. The floor outside the temple was paved with the most precious and top-grade white jade in the world, with flowing mysterious patterns that blended into the avenue.

Judging from the surface, there may not be much difference between it and the palaces in the human world, except that it is much larger in size.

However, the Immortal Palace located on the Yuanchu Ancient Road is full of the ultimate rules of the great way, as if it is peeking at the rules and order of the origin of the universe.

This feeling is like a commoner from a secular dynasty suddenly arriving at the imperial palace, the center of power of the entire dynasty, and what he sees and hears completely overturns his own cognition.

“It’s… worth it.”

Zhou Shuheng could clearly feel his vitality slipping away quickly, without regret or fear. His only remaining eye was filled with shock at the Ancient Immortal Palace, and he felt that the trip was worthwhile.

At least, I saw the most beautiful scenery in the world before I died.

"boom!"

Zhou Shuheng had already reached his limit. His body was torn apart, as if it had been chopped into pieces by countless sharp knives. He looked extremely miserable.

Their souls cannot escape and turn into nothingness.

Not to mention leaving behind a complete body, there wasn't even a piece of clothing left.

The intruder was killed and the ancient road of Yuanchu returned to peace.

Everyone looked on from afar and saw a peaceful scene.

Seeing with one's own eyes the powerful Jinshi clan leader meet such an end, it struck a horrified and trembling heart to everyone present.

"Dead...dead."

The elders of the Jinshi Ancient Clan could not accept this reality. They opened their mouths in astonishment and looked blank. After a while, their lips trembled as they softly repeated the word "clan leader". Their faces showed both fear and grief.

Zhou Shuheng's death made the world deeply aware of the horror of the ancient road in the early Yuan Dynasty.

The death of the clan leader has caused great damage to the vitality of the Jinshi Ancient Clan. They must stabilize the situation in the clan as soon as possible and not lose their composure.

The top powerful people at the peak of the eighth step of the Divine Bridge will all die if they step into it.

Perhaps, only the quasi-emperor can enter.

"This is the path to the top, which is beyond the reach of mortals like us."

After this incident, the Yuanchu Ancient Road became a forbidden area in the hearts of countless people. Not to mention entering, even looking at it from afar made their scalp tingle.
