Ye Xuan met Flame Demon Kun, a powerful demon from the Heavenly Domain. When Flame Demon Kun sought to provoke Ye Xuan, the Senluo Heavenly King intervened, revealing their prior connection and engaging Flame Demon Kun in battle. Meanwhile, Ao Tian, another Heavenly King, observed the fight with disdain, and was approached by the Buddhist Heavenly King, Jiu Cang. The chapter concludes with the ominous arrival of the Paper Macher, Coffin Carriers, Corpse Carriers, and Corpse Chasers on the Emperor Road, signaling a significant farewell ceremony.

Unlike ordinary people walking the Emperor Road.

The four great Nether Professions often embark on the Emperor Road only six months after it opens.

The path they take is inherently vastly different from that of ordinary cultivators.

Without the dead, without the spirits, they are unable to proceed.

The four great Nether Professions are all the same in this regard.

Precisely because of this, they choose this time to ascend the Emperor Road.

At the same time, the thirty-three Heavenly Kings who have not yet emerged in the Heavenly Domain, as well as more ancient Great Saints, are gradually descending to the Lower Realm, taking on the Emperor Road.

They all understand that the struggle at the front of the Emperor Road has ended, and ascending now allows quicker entry into the latter half of the Emperor Road.

For those who have previously traveled the Emperor Road and found the first half useless, this marks the true beginning of their journey.

However, most are below the Third Layer of the Great Saint Realm.

Barely any are in the middle Third Layer.

The upper Third Layer is even more rarely seen.

Those who have reached the upper Third Layer have typically traveled the Emperor Road before, or even reached its end. They have participated in the struggle for Tian Ming and understand its significance.

In other words, they have already discovered their own Dao and no longer need to contest for Tian Ming again.

Those who choose to walk the Emperor Road multiple times are not driven by the struggle for Tian Ming; sometimes, they seek to gain more opportunities from the Emperor Road.

Though the Emperor Road is perilous, for the experienced, it presents opportunities to gain more benefits.

As for becoming an Emperor?

That is ultimately just a dream.

Throughout ancient and modern times, cultivators are countless.

But how many have achieved the status of Great Emperor?

————

At the lowest point of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Amidst the vast chaos.

An ancient Great World is born.

On a macro level, this Great World is no less than the Heavenly Domain.

Its position forms a counterpoint with the Heavenly Domain.

Separated in between by All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

This Great World is the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld formed when the Emperor Road opened.

At its appearance, it drew the strongest from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to investigate.

Yet, entry into the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld has always been impossible.

During the six months since the Emperor Road’s opening, the strongest of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have come and gone, leaving only a few to guard the area.

On this day, a white rainbow streaked across the sky, catching the attention of the guardians.

"How beautiful!"

The guardians, mostly of the Great Sage Realm, with lives spanning centuries.

At the sight of the woman in white, they couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

The woman in white dusted off, with a narrow blade hanging from her left waist and a small cyan jade gourd tied to her right waist.

She stepped onto the air, her demeanor serene and unruffled.

Three thousand strands of green silk rolled like waves, flowing smoothly and softly, glimmering with luster.

A sword mark at her brow added to her aura of lethal grace.

Beneath her willow eyebrows were a pair of icy blue eyes.

A tear mole adorned the corner of her eyes.

Sacred Body, jade skin, her figure slender and elegant.

Even a glimpse was unforgettable.

Yet around her, there was a misty aura, making it impossible to see her clearly at a closer look.

It was as if she were a rootless duckweed, ethereal and elusive.

This made her even more transcendent and unworldly.

All the fairies of the world would feel ashamed before her.

There existed such a perfect and flawless woman in the world.

"I fear even the Empress of this era might not be of such beauty?"

This attracted the eyes of many present strong individuals.

Yet faced with such an extraordinary woman, they couldn’t even muster a single vile thought, instead feeling a vague awe.

As though the stunning woman before them were an unmatched Empress!

The woman was none other than Zhou Youwei!

Zhou Youwei paid no mind to these people, her enchanting eyes fixated on the ancient Great World.

After a moment, Zhou Youwei’s figure flashed, heading directly for the Great World.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, everyone was startled, then someone shouted, "Miss, you can’t enter, there’s a Forbidden Power there blocking all beings from entering..."

The words were not yet finished.

"Where is she?"

"Entered?!"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

As they tried to approach the direction Zhou Youwei had left, they were immediately repelled by a formidable Forbidden Power, unable to move an inch further.

"What’s going on, how did she get in?"

For a moment, everyone was profoundly shaken.

"Quickly relay this back, that someone has entered this world!"

Some quickly responded, transmitting this news back.

This is undoubtedly a major event.

After all, ever since the Emperor Road opened, no beings could enter.

But now, a mysterious entity suddenly emerged and entered just like that.

This is indeed big news!

"Perhaps, it’s an ancient predecessor who discovered this place’s secret in bygone years!"

A wiser elder, with eyes glittering with insight, contemplated this issue.

Even though this world appeared out of nowhere, fragments of information could be found in various legends.

This proves that in former times, someone had traversed this place.

But the method to enter this realm was never passed down, thus unknown to outsiders.

That this mysterious woman could enter implies she knew how long ago.

Or else she had been here before.

And now that Heavenly Dao Suppression has eased to the Great Saint Realm, some ancient monstrosities buried beneath the eras of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds are slowly opening their eyes.

One cannot dismiss the possibility that this mysterious woman is such a formidable force.

Let alone the turmoil sparked by Zhou Youwei.

At this moment, Zhou Youwei ventured alone into the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, as if passing through a door made of rippling water.

A brand new world unfolded before Zhou Youwei.

Here lies an infinite, vast universe.

Yet deep within the cosmic starry sky, it was filled with endless darkness, accompanied by a sinister aura.

Upon entering, the extreme repulsion was felt, aiming to expel Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, showing no overt action, but around her, the Dao’s aura whirled swiftly.

Moments later, the repulsive force vanished.

But then, something even more terrifying arrived!

Rumble————

In an instant, the dark stars within the cosmic starry sky shattered, forming a black skull, emanating a sinister aura.

In the eye sockets of that vast black skull, two eyes resembling blood-red suns flickered, staring at Zhou Youwei from afar.

It slowly spoke, containing a dreadful power, as if to dissolve all time.

"Who dares enter my Black Sky Ancient Netherworld?"

Each word held the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

With its utterance, the entire universe trembled.

Countless stars plummeted.

The sun and moon lost their light!

Zhou Youwei gazed at the vast black skull in the distance, her expression calm, and said softly, "Let Black Sky Ancient Nether see me."
