On the path to the heavens, there were a total of three illusory arrays blocking Ye Qing's path. Each array occupied a key position. If one wanted to successfully pass through the illusory arrays, they would have to pay a heavy price.
When Ye Qing passed through the first formation, his soul had almost collapsed. The other two formations would be even more difficult.
He was the first to walk out of the first formation. There were still a large number of Sage Emperors and Sage Kings behind him, but they were still stuck in the first formation and had not come out.
Ye Qing's eyes were deep. He looked at the second formation in front of him and did not take any action. He did not dare to rush through the formation rashly. After all, his soul was damaged and he still needed some time to recover.
Besides, he did not have absolute confidence in winning. If he got lost in the second formation, not only would he die, even the brothers he brought along would not be able to escape.
With a thought, Ye Qing communicated with the system in his sea of consciousness, asking if the system had any way to help him pass through the two formations.
The system had always been a cheat. If there was a way to help Ye Qing maintain his consciousness in the formation, then it would be very easy to break through the formation. A system notification quickly sounded in Ye Qing's sea of consciousness.
The system said, "Ding! A reminder to the host. When you were picking up treasure chests previously, you obtained a heavenly treasure called the Soul Dew. The effect of the Soul Dew can help the host keep his mind unaffected for two hours. It might be helpful in breaking through the Illusory Formation."
Ye Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the system's message. The Soul Dew seemed to have been obtained when he was searching for treasure chests in the Dark Moon Ruins. It was a teardrop that looked like a teardrop. Ye Qing did not pay much attention to it at that time. After all, its effect was not that obvious.
Now, it seemed that the success rate of breaking through the formation would be greatly increased with the help of the Soul Dew.
Ye Qing's mind entered the system space and quickly found the Soul Dew. He took it out and quickly refined it using his cultivation technique.
The effect of the Essence Soul Dew only lasted for two hours. Within two hours, it could protect one's mind and prevent it from being eroded or affected. After he refined the Essence Soul Dew, his body moved and he charged into the illusion array.
The world in front of him changed rapidly. The power of time and space flowed around his body. In a trance, he had already arrived in another world. It was almost the same situation as when he broke through the formation last time.
When he entered the first illusion array, he returned to Earth. When he entered the second illusion array, he returned to ancient Earth.
However, there was a clear difference between this time and the last time. Ye Qing still had his own consciousness. He clearly knew that he was in an illusion and not reality.
Ye Qing, who maintained absolute self-awareness, had a new opportunity in the new world. He returned to the ancient times and became a noble prince.
He was born with an illustrious status in the empire during the reign of the emperors.
After experiencing a lifetime in the illusory array, Ye Qing's path had been smooth sailing. He was the eldest son of the first wife, and then he smoothly inherited the throne, unified the world, and became the most famous emperor in the continent he came from.
Later on, Ye Qing led his empire and conquered other empires. He became the supreme emperor of the continent.
In this lifetime, Ye Qing mainly sought power.
If he was in a state where he lost his mind, without the help of the Essence Soul Dew, he would very likely lose himself in the process of seizing power.
This lifetime seemed long. After a few decades, Ye Qing reached his twilight years and did not have much lifespan left.
The illusion array tried to make Ye Qing believe that everything was predestined. The reason why he was born as a prince and the eldest son of the first wife was because of the arrangement of fate. He should be grateful!
In the second lifetime, he had supreme power. In the end, he was still unable to fight against fate. His lifespan was still only 90 years old.
When Ye Qing was on the verge of death, he would have tried to believe in his own fate under the influence of the illusion array. He did not dare to fight against the heavens.
But Ye Qing, who maintained his consciousness, knew from the beginning that this was only an illusion array. The only goal he had in pursuing the path of martial arts was to fight against the heavens. He wanted to go against the heavens and change his fate!
No one could decide his fate, not even the heavens!
His own fate was in his own hands. This was the essence of the Defiant Will. It was to resist all oppression and go against the heavens!
When the Defiant Will was used, the environment around him rapidly changed and shattered like glass. The second illusion array was destroyed by Ye Qing without hesitation. Now, only the third illusion array was left.
Ye Qing took advantage of the fact that the Essence Soul Dew was still effective to quickly charge into the third illusion array. In the third lifetime, Ye Qing returned to the Fantasy Continent. He became a warrior on the Prehistoric Continent and also embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation.
Ye Qing, who possessed astonishing talent and worked hard to cultivate, made rapid progress. He relied on various heaven-defying opportunities to reach the Saint Emperor realm.
He was an unparalleled expert in the mortal world. He had even reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Great Sage realm. He was the strongest existence among the Saint Emperors.
But even if he became a Saint Emperor, his lifespan was still only 150,000 years. He could not break through the limit.
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Realm, Ye Qing's body continued to age. The life essence in his body continued to decline. The third illusion array, which was Ye Qing's third lifetime, was also affected by the will of the heavens.
The illusion array contained some power of law. It tried to make Ye Qing believe that he had to accept the fate arranged by the heavens. It made Ye Qing believe that the Saint Emperor realm was his limit. He could not break through again and could only walk towards death in his continuous decline.
But with the influence of the Essence Soul Dew and Ye Qing's cultivation of the Inverse Martial Will, he quickly broke through the third illusion array. He broke through it faster than anyone else!
Ye Qing broke through the three illusion arrays in a row. His vision became clear again. On the path to the heavens, the three illusion arrays quickly disappeared. However, they were only meant for Ye Qing.
To the other Saint Kings and Saint Emperors, the illusion arrays were still there. After breaking through the three illusion arrays, Ye Qing's only benefit was that he could freely move through the arrays without being affected by them.
Ye Qing thought of his brothers in the Army of Cheats. They were still in the first illusion array. Their lives might be in danger.
Ye Qing stepped into the air and returned to the first illusion array. Just as he entered the array, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Saint Emperor Shrouding Heaven.
