"Haha! Here I come! I will become an even stronger Heavenly God, or even a super Heavenly God!"
"What a dense energy. It can already be called holy energy. No, it should be the origin energy of the Divine World. This is a place where only gods can survive!"
"If I don't become a god, I'll turn into ashes. I must complete my path to becoming a Heavenly God!
No one can stop me! I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me, I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me! Charge! "
"Ten thousand years is an epoch. How many heroes have been waiting for the new cycle of reincarnation? A new epoch has begun!"
…
The experts of the world all had fervent looks on their faces as they charged into the Path of Gods with all their might.
Apart from the Heavenly Gods, the first batch of people to enter the Path of Gods were those from the major factions. Their auras converged into a river as they forced their way into the Path of Gods. Many weaker cultivators were sent tumbling away.
The Sword Maniac, who originally wanted to attack Yao Yue, also sensed the arrival of this moment and put away the sword that he had pulled out a small part of.
"Take this, Path of Gods!"
After the Sword Maniac said this to Yao Yue, he turned into a sword light and rushed towards the Gate of God's Path in the sky.
Meanwhile, Luo Yulong and Honest Mu returned to their respective factions and headed for the Path of Gods at the same time.
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, some of the experts who had reached the Path of Gods screamed miserably.
They weren't injured by others. Instead, they were being rejected by the Path of Gods. Their bodies were blasted apart by the power of the Path of Gods.
The Path of Gods wasn't that easy to enter.
"Everyone, hurry up and get on the road. Everyone, gather together and charge in together. Don't act alone. Otherwise, if you are injured by this divine light, even a god won't be able to save you!" Feng Yang immediately shouted.
"Let our Water Palace lead the way!" Hai Jili said excitedly.
"Alright, let's gather together and charge through the gate!" Yao Yue immediately nodded in agreement.
The Water Palace, the Fung family, the Xuan family, the Yao family, and the Yuefengge all gathered together. There were more than two thousand people in total. They formed a powerful force and charged towards the gate.
At this moment, Yao Yue's heart was a little nervous!
What was the path to godhood like?
What kind of rare treasures could be found here?
Swoosh!
Tens of thousands of rays of divine light landed on their bodies. How could they block these people outside?!
However, the Celestial God at the front of the water palace immediately emitted a unique light and forcefully opened a path for this group of people to smoothly rush into the Path of Gods!
After passing through the Door of God's Path, everyone felt as though they had entered a teleportation array. Everything before their eyes turned black and in the next moment, they had arrived at another place!
When they focused their gazes, they discovered that they had arrived outside a strange city!
The city was incomparably majestic. The ancient walls were covered in colorful scars, as though they had experienced countless years of history. There were also various statues of desolate beasts carved on the walls, giving them a ferocious and frightening appearance.
From afar, the city looked like a primordial beast, glaring at everyone covetously, causing them to shrink back at the sight of it!
On top of the ancient walls were city guards in thick armor, looking down on everyone. They were like celestial soldiers and generals. They had arrogant expressions on their faces, looking down on everyone present!
"Where, where is this place?
Is this the first stage of the Path of Gods? "
"The energy here hasn't weakened at all. This should be the Path of Gods!
But is there anything in this city worth fighting over? "
"No matter what, since we're already here, let's go in and take a look!
I'm sure there will be unexpected gains! "
"I think we should wait for now. The more people there are, the more strength there is. When the time comes, all the factions will gather together. Let's see what kind of tricks the people in the city have up their sleeves!"
…
More and more people entered the city. More than half of the people who had gathered at the Outer Heaven had already arrived!
They were puzzled by the ancient city before them, and they all wanted to know where this place was!
"Welcome to the first stage of the Path of Gods, the Jade Gate Stage!
There are countless saint veins and saint springs here, as well as many saint legacies left behind by our ancestors. There are even comprehensions left behind by demigods and heavenly gods. They can help you increase your strength in a short time!
However, if you want to enter the city, you'll have to pass through us first. Saints have to pay a hundred cubic meters of Saint Crystals to enter the city. Demigods and above have to pay ten cubic meters of Saint Crystals. Heavenly Gods can pass through the city for free and can directly go to the next level! "A heavily armoured man standing in the middle of the ancient city's gate said faintly.
The various factions were in an uproar when they heard that.
Heavenly Gods could pass through the city for free, demigods had to pay 10 cubic meters of saint crystals, and those below the Saint realm had to pay 100 cubic meters of saint crystals. These conditions were nothing to Heavenly Gods and demigods, but to Saints, these conditions were extremely harsh!
"100 cubic meters of saint crystals? Isn't that asking for death?
Impossible! "
"Aren't these people raiders?
How can they be so greedy? Even 10 cubic meters of saint crystals is too much! "
"The Path of Gods isn't a place anyone can enter. I don't believe they'll dare to stop us if we go together!"
"That's right. None of us are weaklings. What right do they have to stop us? Hurry up and open the gates so we can enter!"
"Everyone, let's work together. They won't dare to do anything to us!"
Many Saints roared in dissatisfaction.
Following that, they charged toward the city walls.
They were all Saints, and each of them had an unruly personality. They could not allow themselves to be manipulated by others, so it was only natural that they wanted to resist.
"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you newcomers won't know how powerful we are!
Kill them for me! "The armed man revealed a sinister smile as he gave the order.
At this moment, the city guards on the city wall immediately released all of their auras, and the weapons in their hands attacked the people who were charging over!
Rumble! Rumble!
These earth-shattering powers erupted at the same time, instantly enveloping the Sage who was charging forward!
However, this power was not as simple as ordinary saint energy. The moment it blasted out of the city walls, it was boosted by a formation, causing the power of the city guards to increase by several times, or even tens of times.
In the blink of an eye, the first batch of Saints was blasted into smithereens.
Some of the stronger Great Sage cultivators were also sent flying with heavy injuries.
"Anyone who doesn't pay the saint crystals will be killed without mercy if they take half a step into the lightning pool again," the armored man shouted.
"I won't pay! Let's see what you can do to me! Kill!"
Even though there was a vanguard, a Great Sage still roared unwillingly. His saint robe appeared around him, and he reached the state of One with the Weapon before he charged toward the city walls.
Unfortunately, this Great Sage was destined to meet a tragic end.
None of the city guards on the city walls were weaker than a Saint, and there was even a Great Sage among them. Under the amplification of the formation, they could not block the attack at all and were sent flying with heavy injuries.
Not only that, but the armored man also made a move, shooting a finger light directly at the Great Sage.
The finger light was extremely domineering, and it instantly caught up to the Great Sage.
Boom!
A shocking explosion rang out, and the Great Sage, along with his Sage, was blasted into a bloody pulp!
To kill a Great Sage with a single finger, this man was at least at the Demigod Realm. He might even be a true Heavenly God!
"Who isn't afraid of death? Come again!
Once you're in Jade Gate Pass, you have to abide by our rules. Whoever breaks the rules, I don't care who you are, only death awaits you! "the armored man said domineeringly.
After the Great Sage's death, everyone quieted down quite a bit.
"Vulcan wants to enter the pass!" an extremely domineering voice rang out.
Following that, the two to three thousand members of the Skyblaze Sect walked towards the Jade Gate Pass.
They did not fly. Instead, they walked step by step, as if they were waiting for the city guards to attack them. Or perhaps, they believed that they could just enter the pass.
Everyone was also looking at the people from the Skyblaze Sect. They wanted to see if the people guarding the city would open a path for such a powerful force!
If they did not even give face to the Vulcan, there would be nothing they could say.
At the same time, they hoped that the other major factions would be able to break through the pass and deal a blow to the arrogance of the city guards.
The armored man narrowed his eyes for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Open the gate and let the Vulcan pass."
Just like that, the people from the Skyblaze Sect entered the Jade Gate Pass ahead of the other factions!
"Kagami No wants to enter the pass!" the leader of Kagami No shouted.
Next, they followed behind the Vulcan and walked toward Jade Gate Pass.
The Kagami No also passed through the pass without any problems.
"Our Yuan Master Society wants to enter the pass!"
"Our Eastern Divine Cult wants to enter the pass!"
"Our Water Palace wants to enter the pass!"
…
These major factions were all famous existences in the Earthly Star Region. They all passed through the pass without any problems. Not even the city guards dared to attack them.
Although the city guards had been stationed in Jade Gate Pass for a long time, they knew how terrifying these major factions were.
They did not want to offend these major factions. Otherwise, with a wave of their hand, everyone here would band together. At that time, the city guards would not be able to stop them.
Some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to enter the pass were discovered by the city guards and killed without mercy.
Even a demigod could not pass the pass without paying ten high-grade saint crystals.
Just like that, a portion of the people who did not have any saint crystals or backers to rely on were rejected before the first stage of the Divine Path.
If they wanted to enter, they would have to gather enough saint crystals or barge their way in. There was no other way.
Yao Yue and the others were able to save the saint crystals they had to pay in the Water Palace.
However, Guan Changyun's words had brought them unnecessary trouble.
"These guys are asking for a million saint crystals. They are simply bandits."
