There was a strong danger in the Heavenly River, and it was definitely easy to cross.
While Mu Qianxue was crossing the river, he was constantly gathering Yuan Qi to form a protective barrier. However, there was a mysterious power in the Heavenly River that could break through all his defenses.
Mu Qianxue only walked two thousand meters before he didn't dare to continue. He could only return to his original spot.
The entire Heavenly River wasn't very long. It was only about five thousand meters across the Path to Heaven.
It was a short distance, but it was very difficult to cross. There was a strong restrictive force in the sky that restricted flying.
Saint Kings were unable to fly in the air. They could only walk on water.
Mu Qianxue returned in failure. The other Saint Kings all looked serious.
Mu Qianxue wasn't the strongest among the Saint Kings, but he was in the best condition right now.
Even with Mu Qianxue's ability, he only walked two thousand meters across the Heavenly River. It seemed that he couldn't cross the Heavenly River by himself.
The group of Saint Kings gathered and started to discuss the matter of forming an alliance. Soon, they came to an agreement.
Saint King Shutian, Dragon Palace Master, Sun Palace Master, Golden-winged Roc King, Golden Crow Demon Emperor, Limitless Sword Master and Mu Qianxue all formed an alliance to cross the Heavenly River.
They gathered the power of many Saint Kings. They should be able to cross the Heavenly River smoothly.
As for Motian Master, Murong Clan Master and the others, they were excluded. They were seen as Saint Kings who were in the same boat as Ye Qing.
Ye Qing put his hands behind his back and looked calm. He didn't care about the actions of the Saint Kings.
Ata wasn't in a hurry to cross the Heavenly River. The Gate to Heaven on the other side was still closed. So what if he crossed the Heavenly River?
He had to find a way to break through the Gate to Heaven.
Ye Qing frowned slightly. He released his powerful Divine Sense to investigate the structure of the Gate to Heaven. However, he didn't find anything. The Gate to Heaven was like a huge mystery, mysterious and unfathomable.
With the passage of time, the Saint Kings had already formed a small group.
Their silhouettes gradually walked towards the Heavenly River, each of them displaying powerful defensive techniques.
With so many Saint Emperors working together, it was much easier for them to cross the Heavenly River. Very quickly, they had crossed over two thousand meters, surpassing Mu Qianxue's record.
As they gradually approached the other side of the Heavenly River, the Sage Emperors realized that the pressure they were facing was increasing.
That was not the pressure from the Heavenly River. In fact, the mysterious power contained within the Heavenly River made it very difficult to truly kill a Saint Emperor.
What caused those Sage Emperors to feel uneasy was the Heavenly Gate, not the Milky Way.
The longer they walked on the Celestial River, the closer they were to the Gate to Heaven. The pressure on their bodies was caused by the Gate to Heaven!
A pattern was discovered by the Saint Emperors. They discovered that the closer they got to the gate, the more uncomfortable they felt. It was as if they were about to explode.
There was only one kilometer left in the five kilometer long Milky Way, and he still couldn't cross it.
This was because if they were to cross the Heavenly River, they would have to face the Heavenly Gate directly. The vast pressure could simply crush them into pieces.
There was no need to use any offensive techniques. The pressure released by the Heavenly Gate was enough to destroy most of the Saint Emperors present.
Many Saint Emperors were still heavily injured, and they didn't dare to take another step forward. Otherwise, the mountain-like pressure would directly kill them.
The Dragon Palace Master's bones were cracking, and the other Saint Emperors weren't in a good situation either.
"Everyone, I have a plan. Since we can't continue forward, why don't we attack the Heavenly Gate from afar? If we can open the Heavenly Gate, then we can continue forward!" the Dragon Palace Master suddenly said.
The team formed by the Saint Emperors had temporarily stopped. They didn't dare to continue forward. The Dragon Palace Master's suggestion seemed to be good.
They didn't dare to continue forward, but they could use martial techniques from afar. With so many Saint Emperors working together, the damage they could cause would definitely be impressive.
If the Heavenly Door was successfully opened, they would charge in even if they had to risk their bodies exploding and dying.
Saint Emperor Shrouding Heaven was the first to agree with the Dragon Palace Master's idea. The Golden Crow Demonic Emperor, Golden-winged Giant Peng King and the others all nodded in agreement.
After the Saint Emperors reached a consensus, they started to move. They all used their cultivation techniques and mobilized their Origin Energy or Demonic Energy to attack the Heavenly Gate.
Hua Xuandu, who was in the sky, had a cold look and a mocking look on his face.
He didn't think that the group of monkeys below could successfully open the Heavenly Gate.
In fact, according to Hua Xuandu's idea, as long as a Saint Emperor could successfully cross the Heavenly River and arrive in front of the Heavenly Gate, then he would be considered very outstanding and worthy of training.
Now, the actions of the Saint Emperors were like a circus in Hua Xuandu's eyes. There was no point in watching or suspense.
"Hua Xuandu, you don't seem to think highly of those monkeys," Ling Shuiqin said indifferently.
"If the Heavenly Gate is opened by a group of monkeys, then can it still be called the Heavenly Gate?" Hua Xuandu said indifferently.
"They can't open the Heavenly Gate, but there's still a powerful person. It seems very possible!" As Ling Shuiqin spoke, she looked in the direction of Ye Qing.
The powerful person she was talking about was of course Ye Qing. In Ling Shuiqin's eyes, the many Saint Emperors below were just clowns. The only person she truly valued was Ye Qing.
"That kid can't open the Heavenly Gate either!
With his methods, he can dream on! "Hua Xuandu said coldly.
Ling Shuiqin didn't reply. Instead, she smiled and continued to pay attention to the situation below.
Many Saint Emperors had joined forces and already launched the first round of attacks. Various Upper Sage Rank Martial Skills were used as if they were free. They bombarded the Heavenly Gate in the distance.
The Dragon Palace Master was even more exaggerated. He even showed his true dragon form and used his powerful innate ability. He condensed dragon claws and continuously bombarded the Heavenly Gate.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Gate was unbreakable. No matter how fierce the attacks of the Saint Emperors were, they couldn't shake the Heavenly Gate in the slightest.
After ten minutes of continuous bombardment, the Saint Emperors were all sighing like deflated balloons.
Currently, it seemed impossible for them to open the Heavenly Gate. Perhaps the next thing they could do was try their best to travel a little longer in the Heavenly River.
The best outcome would be for them to rely on their combined strength to successfully cross the Heavenly River and stay in front of the Heavenly Gate for a while. That way, even though they wouldn't be able to enter the Heavenly Gate, they would at least have been there.
Hua Xuandu was watching all of this from the sky. He knew their performance and would decide whether to bring them to the Supreme Profound Pure Palace to be nurtured based on their performance.
The Saint Emperors temporarily stopped over 3,000 meters away from the Heavenly River to rest and recuperate.
They wanted to make the final dash in their best condition.
Just as they were adjusting, Ye Qing stepped forward and said nonchalantly, "Old fogeys, don't be a dog in the manger. If you can't do it, then move away. Let me do it!"
