"Enter the Immortal Path?"
The numerous figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace were not surprised at all.
At the end of the Primeval Era, before the three Immortal Emperors led the Immortal Kings and Red Dust Immortals into the Immortal Path,
they deliberately left behind the Bronze Immortal Palace, not only to ensure the stability of the Great Wilderness Source World but also to guide future new Red Dust Immortals into the Immortal Path.
To completely connect the world at the end of the Immortal Path with the Great Wilderness Source World is as difficult as climbing to the heavens; with each additional Red Dust Immortal, the hope increases slightly.
Twenty thousand years ago, Lin Yuan easily cleared one Restricted Zone after another, showcasing the power of a supreme sovereign at the outset.
At that time, the numerous figures in the Bronze Immortal Palace were unsure if Lin Yuan had become a Red Dust Immortal.
However, eight thousand years ago, Lin Yuan came to them proactively and almost shattered the Bronze Immortal Palace.
It indisputably proved that he had already surpassed the Red Dust Immortals.
At that time, the numerous figures in the Bronze Immortal Palace asked Lin Yuan whether he was entering the Immortal Path.
The answer received was simply not in a hurry.
…
"The Immortal Path…"
Lin Yuan's gaze was profound as he looked into the depths of overlapping space-time.
Now that he had absorbed the Undying Matter to its limits, staying in the Great Wilderness Source World held little meaning.
Instead, he could explore the Immortal Path that attracted so many Red Dust Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Emperors.
The value of the Immortal Path, which can attract so many temporal beings to follow its trail, surely extends far beyond turning the Great Wilderness Source World into an unprecedented holy land for cultivation.
For temporal beings themselves, it certainly has irreplaceable significance.
"Timelines involving the Immortal Path become obscure and twisted, difficult to observe."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, over the past twenty thousand years, he had attempted more than once to observe the timelines related to the Immortal Path.
The information he obtained wasn't very comprehensive.
But even if it was just fragmentary information, it made Lin Yuan's heart throb.
The world at the end of the Immortal Path is a great opportunity even for a Time Lord.
…
"Lord Tianyuan, the Bronze Immortal Palace is sealing the entrance connecting to the Immortal Path. To enter, one needs to break through with the power of a Red Dust Immortal level." The leading figure in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace said in a low voice.
This is also the prerequisite threshold for entering the Immortal Path.
If one is not a Red Dust Immortal, even finding the Bronze Immortal Palace and discovering the entrance to the Immortal Path would be in vain.
In fact, if one isn't even a Red Dust Immortal, entering the Immortal Path wouldn't significantly help in penetrating the world at its end.
"I know."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had already grasped a good deal of information about entering the Immortal Path.
Before coming, he had also made many preparations in the Great Wilderness Source World, ensuring that the Human Race wouldn't become the target of an alien siege in his absence.
Over twenty thousand years, under Lin Yuan's deliberate cultivation and promotion,
while the Human Race hadn't produced another Great Emperor, numerous special quasi-emperors comparable to a Great Emperor had emerged.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had already cleansed numerous alien races and Restricted Zones several times, leaving the Supreme Emperors who harbored resentment against the Human Race completely eradicated.
The status of the Human Race in the Great Wilderness Source World was unshakable; even if Lin Yuan entered the Immortal Path, there would be little change.
In simple terms, the current Human Race, even without Lin Yuan, could still overlook the Great Wilderness Source World.
"Hmm."
The numerous figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace all stepped aside in unison.
Rumbling!
The Bronze Immortal Palace began to tremble and slowly shifted in a different direction.
In the place where the Bronze Immortal Palace originally stood, a distorted void could vaguely be seen.
This is the entrance connecting to the Immortal Path.
In the Primeval Era, the three Immortal Emperors gazed into the past and future.
It was here that they discovered traces of the Immortal Path, the source of the Undying Matter in the cosmos.
Before this, even as powerful as an Immortal Emperor could attract Undying Matter, they couldn't capture the source of Undying Matter.
Lin Yuan quietly watched the distorted void.
Then, he stretched out his hand.
And slapped forward.
The heavens roared, and the Great Path twisted.
This slap from Lin Yuan was casual, yet the power it unleashed was at the peak of Red Dust Immortals, approaching the strike of an Immortal King.
From the spot where Lin Yuan stood, space-time rapidly vanished, as if reopening Heaven and Earth.
…
Lin Yuan broke through the entrance to the Immortal Path without concealing it, and the terrifying power vibrated, quickly affecting the entire Great Wilderness Source World.
"Such power?"
In a hidden corner of the Great Wilderness Source World, a scruffy man abruptly looked up at the sky, "The Immortal Path, is this the aura of the Immortal Path being broken? Is another Red Dust Immortal entering the Immortal Path?"
The commotion of the Immortal Path being breached was felt more intensely by the stronger beings, especially those at the level of a Great Emperor who could perceive the Undying Matter and naturally detect the fluctuations at its source.
"Who is it? Is it that Emperor Tianyuan?"
The scruffy man couldn't help but think, twenty thousand years ago, Emperor Tianyuan swept through that era, and he had once sensed a meager aura of this Great Emperor from afar.
He just hadn't expected the other was a Red Dust Immortal?
"Red Dust Immortal, huh."
The scruffy man sighed in his heart; the years he had experienced were immeasurable, existing since the Primeval Era, yet he still hadn't grasped the chance to break through to a Red Dust Immortal.
The biggest hurdle to becoming a Red Dust Immortal is breaking through the cycle of time.
The supreme beings absorb large amounts of Undying Matter, their lifespans extraordinarily lengthy, living one life after another, all preparing to break through the cycle of time.
…
"A Red Dust Immortal, has our Great Wilderness Source World birthed a Red Dust Immortal?"
"It's Emperor Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan is breaking the Immortal Path."
One by one, the supremos of the Great Wilderness Source World vaguely felt something, and their hearts were greatly shocked.
The surviving supremos generally harbored no animosity towards the Human Race and had all met Lin Yuan, thus they immediately detected that it was Emperor Tianyuan who was breaking the Immortal Path.
"It's too terrifying."
"Luckily, I've never confronted the Human Race."
"Who could have imagined Emperor Tianyuan would be a Red Dust Immortal?"
The supreme beings' thoughts surged as they recalled how Emperor Tianyuan decisively swept everything away twenty thousand years ago, and they judged him as a Supreme being.
As for the Red Dust Immortal?
The Supreme being could to some extent compare with the Red Dust Immortal, but ultimately was not a Red Dust Immortal.
Even if some supreme beings speculated that Emperor Tianyuan might have reached the level of a Red Dust Immortal, that was mere speculation, never confirmed.
…
Outside Tianyuan Emperor Palace.
Diverse figures, numbering from dozens to hundreds, trapped in front of the Palace, also felt the terrifying surge when the celestial path was opened.
"Emperor Tianyuan… is already a Red Dust Immortal?"
The black-haired youth's heart trembled inexplicably, first experiencing his inability to even step past the first of the thirty-three steps outside the Palace.
Now he discovered that Emperor Tianyuan, whom he regarded as a target, had already surpassed the Emperor level domain, causing his heart that finally calmed down to once again surge with emotions.
It's not just the black-haired youth.
The other figures in the scene felt similarly.
These figures were quasi-emperors born in the past twenty thousand years, possessing either special physiques or powerful bloodlines, enough to rival ordinary supreme beings.
To them, the Great Emperor Realm was still something to look up to, with a hope of reaching.
But a Red Dust Immortal?
How many Great Emperors have been born throughout history, yet how many ultimately become Red Dust Immortals?
…
Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand, observing the twisting void that had been completely torn apart.
An irregular void passage appeared, connecting to a mysterious time and space, and that was the celestial path.
"I'm going in first."
Lin Yuan glanced at the entrance of the celestial path, sweeping his gaze over the many figures before the bronze Immortal Palace, stepped forward, and disappeared.
"Lord Tianyuan went in?"
The bronze Immortal Palace gently returned to its place, and the figures standing outside the palace showed inexplicable emotions.
Since Emperor Tianyuan revealed his true strength, over these twenty thousand years, he has left an indelible impression in the hearts of many figures.
…
Inside the celestial path entrance.
Invisible aura pervaded, where any trace of aura was enough to critically wound or even obliterate an Emperor-level expert.
"Is this the celestial path?"
Lin Yuan observed his surroundings, the space-time around him was incredibly stable, and the sweeping invisible aura turned calm upon approaching.
"This Great Destructive Force of the Origin World?"
Lin Yuan pondered silently, realizing that the invisible aura surrounding him at that moment was the Great Destructive Force.
This level of Great Destructive Force typically only appears in dimension spaces on the verge of the great annihilation.
At that time, under the sweep of annihilation aura, all creatures and spirits would be destroyed, even time lifeforms could only retreat from dimension space to evade it.
Forcibly remaining in the dimension space, time lifeforms wouldn't endure it, as their bodies would collapse and be destroyed under the erosion of the Great Destructive Force.
"This Origin World hasn't yet entered the great annihilation, yet it is already filled with such a level of great destructive force?"
Lin Yuan thought deeply, perhaps this was the special aspect deep within the celestial path? The goal that each time lifeform sought?
"Great Destructive Force…"
Lin Yuan observed the strands of Great Destructive Force.
His mind was continually filled with flashes of insight and comprehension.
[Your insight is extraordinary, observing the Great Destructive Force, your understanding of the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao has improved]
…
[Your insight is extraordinary, observing the Great Destructive Force, you have grasped the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao]
…
The Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao is one of the fundamental origin dao in the endless dimensional cosmos, much stronger than a single Chaotic Origin Taiyang and Taiyin.
This is an extremely fierce origin dao, influencing the destruction of dimension spaces.
Originally, Lin Yuan had an exceptional accumulation in the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao, with the Chaos Void naturally leading to the universe's great annihilation, thus also being a prototype of dimension space's great annihilation.
After reaching the thirteenth stage to become a time lifeform, Lin Yuan increasingly felt the vastness of the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao.
Now, entering the celestial path and experiencing the Great Destructive Force up close, the change in quantity led to a change in quality, making grasping the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao naturally attainable.
The Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao belongs to the realization of the thirteenth stage Second Realm, akin to the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao.
Of course, the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao inherently exists in the endless dimensional cosmos itself as an origin dao, while the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao is a self-origin dao developed by Lin Yuan.
This is why Lin Yuan grasped the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao first, having the complete Great Destructive Force as a reference, compared to exploring in darkness and creating the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao from nothing, it was naturally much easier.
Yet, no matter how easy, it is a thirteenth stage Second Realm method.
"I didn't expect entering the celestial path would have this benefit."
Lin Yuan's face showed a smile, undoubtedly, the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao is a thirteenth stage Second Realm method.
Grasping this origin dao, Lin Yuan's strength again increased substantially.
"Is this considered the first Second Realm technique I've mastered?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Even before arriving at this Source World, Lin Yuan was able to rival a Thirteenth Stage Second Realm time lifeform.
But that kind of rivalry was entirely based on his own foundational accumulation, far exceeding the First Realm's foundational accumulation.
As for techniques, he was still at the First Realm level.
"Let's continue forward."
Lin Yuan didn't stop, but headed deeper into the Immortal Path.
In the ancient times, various Immortal Kings and Red Dust Immortals who entered the Immortal Path should have already explored close to the end of the path.
This could be seen from the lingering traces around, left by the Red Dust Immortals and Immortal Kings of the distant past.
…
On the Immortal Path filled with the Great Destructive Force, ordinary time lifeforms would inevitably have their speed affected, needing to constantly resist the Great Destructive Force.
However, for Lin Yuan, who had already comprehended the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao, the Great Destructive Force felt like water to a fish, not only having no impact, but even serving as an aid.
…
At the end of the Immortal Path.
Here it was misty, filled with strands of the Great Destructive Force.
In the distance, there was a new world entirely formed by an aura opposing the Great Destructive Force.
This world seemed illusory, evidently not fully developed yet; even so, the slight essence it emitted mesmerized the Red Dust Immortals.
However.
The closer one approached this illusory world, the more they would be swept by the Great Destructive Force. Even Immortal Kings could not stay too close for long.
"Marvelous, marvelous." A white-haired Immortal King was engrossed in observing that illusory world, with two other figures, also Immortal King level, sitting beside him.
"It's a pity that entering that illusory world to comprehend would benefit us even more," the Immortal King on the left said quietly, his eyes full of longing.
"Enter? Even an Immortal Emperor can't get in."
The Immortal King on the right shook his head. The illusory world was protected by the Origin Source of the Great Wilderness Origin World, and with the strength of its Origin Source, not even an Immortal Emperor would dare to confront it head-on.
"Hmm?" At that moment, the white-haired Immortal King suddenly noticed something and looked toward the beginning of the Immortal Path, "A Red Dust Immortal has entered."
Upon these words.
The other two Immortal Kings also looked.
Having been stationed on the Immortal Path for endless years, they were proficient in sensing changes in the aura of the Immortal Path.
Nothing could escape their notice.
"With the Great Destructive Aura permeating the Immortal Path, new Red Dust Immortals might not be well adapted. Should we send someone to escort them?"
The Immortal King on the left suggested.
The newly ascended Red Dust Immortals of the Great Wilderness Origin World were considered juniors to them, hence the three Immortal Kings valued them greatly.
"I'll go pick them up."
A nearby Red Dust Immortal stepped forward.
Having been on the Immortal Path for so many years, he had long comprehended methods to resist the Great Destructive Force. He was much more composed than newly ascended Red Dust Immortals when facing the endless Great Destructive Force.
"Hmm….."
The white-haired Immortal King in the middle was about to nod.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He stared toward the beginning of the Immortal Path.
The Immortal Kings on both sides also noticed something.
Their expressions turned incredulous.
"Immortal King, should I go now?"
The Red Dust Immortal who stepped forward was about to head to the initial point of the Immortal Path.
"No need."
The white-haired Immortal King paused for a few breaths and then shook his head.
"No need?"
The Red Dust Immortal who stepped forward was puzzled.
Not planning to escort that new Red Dust Immortal?
Were they expecting him to endure the endless Great Destructive Force on his own to get here?
Was it a test?
The Red Dust Immortal contemplated and guessed this might be the case.
"He has already arrived."
The white-haired Immortal King stood up, facing the initial direction of the Immortal Path.
"Arrived?"
The face of the Red Dust Immortal who stepped forward expressed shock.
The next moment.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous Red Dust Immortals and Immortal Kings.
From the beginning of the Immortal Path filled with endless Great Destructive Force, a figure approached, the Great Destructive Force that could grind down the flesh and body of a Red Dust Immortal appeared to intertwine and blend on the surface of this figure, unusually docile.
