Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

They were all bathing in the Divine Radiance of the Great Tao, improving in ways visible to the naked eye. In such a state, even their own parents wouldn't necessarily be able to pull them out.

"Who is this guy?"

"Don't know! Probably a lunatic."

"Could he be trying to monopolize the Great Opportunity of the Heavenly Road all by himself?" Not far away, several cultivators pointed at Chen Pingping and spoke with disdain.

"That's possible!"

"Ignore him, hurry up and move past, or it will be too late."

Continuous rainbows streaked across the sky, and powerful figures rushed forward, hurling themselves toward the Heavenly Road like moths to a flame.

BANG!

Some achieved breakthroughs, while others couldn't withstand it and suffered backlash.

At that moment, a thunderous roar sounded. Diwu Qingrou was undergoing tribulation. He burst into laughter, "This young master has finally stepped onto the Emperor's Path."

On another front, the Saint Heir and the Saintess also received significant boosts to their power. Their Divine Brilliance grew more intense. It likely wouldn't be long before they, too, would step into the realm of the Emperor's Path.

Seeing this scene, many cultivators became even more frenzied.

Alas!

Chen Pingping sighed helplessly.

This is a plot! What Great Opportunity?

He immediately took out the Heavenly Book, activated it, and Divine Radiance burst forth, illuminating the world. Bathed in it, he opened his eyes and saw certain scenes.

The slaughter on the Heavenly Road had already calmed down, and that shadowy figure was watching him, its features blurred, but its smile clear, as if mocking his foolishness.

In an instant, a fierce wind blew, and a series of sharp Sword Dao strikes erupted forth.

Chen Pingping quickly exited the Heavenly Book and put it away.

Damn! Mock me after harming my friend?

Chen Pingping's face hardened, and he rolled up his sleeves, declaring, "I'm going to take action now."

If Guang Xiaoyu had been there, she would have been thrilled. Great, Senior Brother is finally unleashing his full power!

Because in the past, he never really exerted his full strength, always keeping his trump cards hidden.

Liu Changqing looked over, thinking he was preparing to seek Enlightenment. Instead... he saw Chen Pingping send a Sword Slash toward the Heavenly Road.

"..."

Alan's mouth fell open slightly.

The many cultivators who had traveled from afar were also taken aback for a moment.

Of course, this Sword Slash couldn't truly shake the Heavenly Road. The Sword Dao fell and instantly disappeared without a shadow to be seen.

"Are you insane?" someone cursed, "If you don't want Enlightenment, then get lost. To think you're actually trying to destroy the Heavenly Road, have you got water in your brain?"

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, keep it down…" someone advised.

"Don't stop me, today this young master will slay him." The young man was furious. He had just rushed over, ready to seek Enlightenment and grasp the Great Opportunity of the Heavenly Road.

He never imagined someone would attempt to destroy the opening of the Heavenly Road.

Hmph!

What's the use of keeping such a person alive?

"He is Chen Pingping..."

"Oh? So it's him! Well, I was just joking just now." The young man's anger dissipated instantly, and he awkwardly explained, "Ah ha! You didn't take that seriously, did you?"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although he had never seen Chen Pingping, he had heard his legendary tales. This man was not to be trifled with.

BANG!

The second sword strike emerged. It was more powerful and majestic than before, capturing everyone's attention.

Everyone: "..."

Sweat beaded on Liu Changqing's forehead. "What's gotten into him?"

"Not too sure…" Alan responded.

"Has he gone mad?"

The Heavenly Road opens every three hundred years. Although accompanied by terrible dangers, it also contains huge opportunities within, launching countless cultivators on their path to becoming powerful beings.

Those buried geniuses also rose strongly at this moment.

It is a tomb as well as a seed of hope that can lift people up.

If it is truly destroyed, wouldn't that be highly immoral?

"What are you all still doing here? Get moving! This is a conspiracy; at the end of the Heavenly Road, there is no God, just a despicable person," Chen Pingping shouted.

He didn't want to be a saint—that would be too idiotic.

But over time, as more people died, the person at the end of the Heavenly Road would grow stronger.

By that time, killing him wouldn't be so simple.

The cultivators rolled their eyes. If it were not for the fact that it was Chen Pingping, someone would have already attacked.

One of the youths couldn't help but ask, "Are you trying to monopolize the Great Opportunity of the Heavenly Road all for yourself?"

Chen Pingping: "???"

"Chen, let it be!" Liu Changqing couldn't help but say, "People have their own ambitions! You can't control this sort of thing." He thought Chen Pingping had also realized the crisis and wanted to sever the Heavenly Road to save everyone.

But such an approach seemed rather extreme.

For one, even if the Heavenly Road has dangers and is a horrifying conspiracy, one has to admit that it's also a decent opportunity. Secondly, since ancient times, no one has dared to interfere with the Heavenly Road. If it truly angered the God at its end, one would only bring trouble upon oneself. The losses would simply outweigh the gains!

Liu Changqing sighed, "Please come back!"

Alan also spoke up, "Everyone is responsible for their own choices. If they want to gain power, they must pay a price, which may involve death."

The two weren't particularly close to him, nor were they enemies.

The reason they advised him was entirely out of fear that this fellow would genuinely destroy the opening of the Heavenly Road. If that happened, then—conspiracy and slaughter aside—the true Great Opportunity would probably be gone, wouldn't it?

"Yeah! Yeah! It's our choice, fellow Daoist, please leave! If you want to seek Enlightenment, then go ahead, but if not, forget it," someone nearby said.

"We appreciate your kind reminder, Fellow Daoist; we understand that this is a conspiracy."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't interfere! The Heavenly Road only opens once every three hundred years. If I miss it, I might be buried in the ground before the next three hundred years," someone lamented with helplessness.

Chen Pingping was so exasperated that he almost spat blood, glancing at the Heavenly Road before turning away.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, really afraid that he would cause chaos...

Of course, he wasn't about to give up. His two attempts to affect the Heavenly Road had been futile, not shaking it in the slightest, which was enough to show the power of that person at the end of it.

Moreover, with the Moon God's several admonitions, he realized the seriousness of the issue.

"Chen, you can't manage this," Liu Changqing said quietly. "Perhaps, it's better to just observe and see how things unfold."

"Yes!" Alan nodded.

Chen Pingping looked up, glancing at the two of them, and couldn't help but say, "Have you ever thought about what it truly means if the Heavenly Road is fully opened?"

"Bloodshed?" Liu Changqing said.

"Opportunity?" she also spoke.

Both had pondered this question.

But history had never provided an answer.

Why?

Because every time the Heavenly Road has opened, the records of that period in history seemed to be erased, leaving a blank.

People only remembered that the Heavenly Road meant great opportunities and was the chance for countless people. If one could meet the God at the end, they could step into another world and seek a more powerful Dao.

So, every time it opened, the strongest from Heaven Martial Continent and the Central Continent went crazy for it.

The two looked at each other, their expressions solemn. "What do you mean, Chen?"

Hahahaha...

Wild laughter spread across the area as Diwu Qingrou stepped into the realm of the Emperor's Path, feeling the surging Power Path within and the Power of Laws permeating the air.

He felt like a god, as if he had control over the mortal world.

"Chen Pingping..." Diwu Qingrou grinned, revealing a somewhat fierce look, and with deep and confident eyes, he said, "By defeating you, this young master will be the foremost among the younger generation."
