As time wore on, more and more powerful cultivators stepped onto the Divine Path with an unstoppable momentum.
They were acutely aware that the Divine Path, which opened only once every ten thousand years, could not be missed.
Some ancient monsters also observed from the sidelines, feeling hesitant. Entering the Divine Path might lead to a disastrous end, but if fortunate, they might ascend all the way, perhaps even achieving the supreme divine status.
Everyone understood this point clearly, which was why they were so concerned.
"I truly didn't expect so many people to rush in when the Divine Path opened!"
Witnessing the scene, Zhao Xiaotian sighed, "Once the Divine Path opens, it can be sensed by all the heavens and myriad worlds. Wouldn't that mean countless powerful beings would enter the Divine Path!"
"Those people are merely ants; they will be completely annihilated after entering the Divine Path!"
Many old men spoke, "This is the price they pay for entering the Divine Path. Without even reaching the Heavenly Lord realm, entering the Divine Path is a sure path to death!"
"The Divine Path is filled with peerless experts from various realms. What difference is there between you entering it and them entering it?"
Lu Fan shrugged and smiled, "Don't you have confidence that you can reach the end within the Divine Path!"
"If it were before, we might not have had confidence, but it's different now!"
The old man in the black robe chuckled, "As we follow the Lord, we will surely soar. Even within the Divine Path, no one may be able to block our way!"
"You are quite confident!"
Lu Fan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curling up, looking rather meaningful.
"To tell you the truth, in all these countless years, we have never seen a being as powerful as the Lord. Therefore, within the Divine Path, there is likely no one who can stop the Lord's progress!"
The elders flattered him without any reservation. They needed to rely on Lu Fan now, so they held nothing back, their expressions growing even more indifferent.
"Stop with the flattery. Prepare yourselves to enter the Divine Path!" Lu Fan waved his hand, a slight smile on his lips. "I want to see what kind of demons and ghosts are within the Divine Path that cause people to rush in like this, disregarding life and death!"
"We will follow the Lord closely!"
The elders cupped their fists, appearing quite excited. For some reason, as long as they followed behind Lu Fan, they felt a peculiar sense of security.
Not long after, Lu Fan and his group arrived at the entrance of the Divine Path. However, the entrance was crowded with people. Anyone with some capability wanted to enter the Divine Path, yet they knew nothing of the path's return.
"It's quite eager for these people to go to their deaths!"
The old man in green chuckled, "Even mere Saints dare to tread the Divine Path. Truly, they don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Indeed! Even Heavenly Lord experts might not be safe within the Divine Path, let alone these ants!" the old man in the black robe said, his eyes growing colder.
"Everyone has different aspirations, and this is an excellent opportunity. Perhaps someone can soar from the Saint realm and achieve supreme hegemony!"
Lu Fan said calmly, his words completely unreserved.
"The Lord speaks wisely!"
Everyone nodded, valuing his words greatly. They took every word Lu Fan spoke to heart.
Lu Fan did not linger on their words. In the blink of an eye, he directly entered the Divine Path, as if everything was under his control.
Seeing this, the elders dared not delay any longer. They hurried onto the Divine Path, their expressions becoming solemn. With matters reaching this point, they naturally would not hold back.
As time passed, the passageway within the Divine Path gradually closed, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The various realms would soon undergo a reshuffling. The top experts of the realms had already entered the Divine Path, stirring up ambitions among the major powers to reclaim peak positions.
Upon entering the Divine Path, Lu Fan and the others looked around. They found the Divine Path to be teeming with figures. These were all reclusive ancient monsters, and some were the younger generation from various realms.
The reason they stepped onto the Divine Path was to seek opportunities. Unfortunately, they did not realize that once they entered the Divine Path, they would be unable to return. More importantly, the end of the Divine Path was littered with corpses, a fate they could not withstand.
"So this is the Divine Path. The spiritual energy is so abundant. Wouldn't cultivating within the Divine Path increase your power tenfold!"
A young man exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with earnestness.
The realm he hailed from had extremely low spiritual energy. Sensing the spiritual energy of the Divine Path, he was both astonished and delighted.
However, in that instant, a whistling sound pierced the air, and the young man's head was instantly severed, a bloody spectacle.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, were thrown into a panic, utterly bewildered by what had happened.
"A mere cultivator dares to step onto the Divine Path without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The elder who attacked spoke with a cold expression, his hands behind his back, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura.
The crowd on the Divine Path retreated, not daring to block his path or even act too boldly.
The young man from before, after only speaking a few words, was instantly dealt with. Within the Divine Path, the weak were likely to be killed.
Many young people who had entered the Divine Path were thrown into a frenzy. They had come here seeking opportunities, not to die.
Seeing the scene before them, their hearts trembled, finding it difficult to believe.
"How cruel!"
The old man in the black robe chuckled, "But I quite like it. In this place, the strong are respected. Those without strength can only grovel. Therefore, when they enter, they can only be preyed upon!"
The Elf Queen, who had been following Lu Fan, looked on in shock. Her strength was among the lowest within the Divine Path. Without Lu Fan's protection, she would undoubtedly have met a tragic end.
"Don't worry, with me here, you will be fine!" Lu Fan said to the Elf Queen.
Since he had allowed her to accompany him, Lu Fan would naturally not let her be in danger.
The Elf Queen felt somewhat reassured and nodded slightly. With Lu Fan's words, she did not have to worry too much.
However, others were not so fortunate. Many were killed on the spot, some with weaker cultivation succumbing to sheer terror, their eyes wide open.
Their entry into the Divine Path was merely out of curiosity, but they never expected to forfeit their lives here. They felt a deep sense of injustice.
"This is indeed the Divine Path! It truly is filled with an intent to kill!"
Zhao Xiaotian looked around, his expression growing serious, as if in his eyes, these were the sources of all evil.
