Chapter 752 Turmoil is Imminent

Chapter 752: The Turmoil Is About to Begin

Although they won this battle, there was not much joy on everyone's faces, as they all knew this was only temporary, and an even greater storm was yet to come in the future.

Fairy Luotian and Menghai were even more worried, because the Heavens would inevitably become the battlefield and the primary target of the Strange Clan's attacks.

It was just that—by that time, given the current situation of the Heavens, would it still be able to hold out? The future looked grim.

"Two Fellow Daoists, if the strange army launches a massive attack on the Heavens, I must ask for your help," Menghai requested earnestly.

"This is only natural. The Strange Clan is powerful, while we are vastly outnumbered; we ought to unite," Lin Fan nodded.

After all, the early arrival of the crisis in the Heavens was related to him and Shi Hao, as it woke up the dormant Immortal Emperors.

"Little Hao, where have you run off to all these years? You really kept me waiting for a long time," Lin Fan asked, looking at Shi Hao.

Logically speaking, Shi Hao should have left the Soul River a step ahead of him and reached the Heavens earlier, but unexpectedly, he ended up lagging behind.

"I accidentally stumbled into the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit and discovered another stronghold of the Strange Clan there—it took me a very long time lying low before I could break free."

"Afterwards, on the way to the Heavens, I ended up alerting those three End-of-the-Road Level beings, and after battling for hundreds of years, I fought my way all the way here."

Shi Hao explained. His past few years had been quite eventful; he had visited quite a few dangerous lands and almost even stepped onto the Bridge of Life and Death.

"The Bridge of Life and Death?!" Fairy Luotian was startled.

Shi Hao was puzzled, not understanding much, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That place is by no means simple. Once emperors step onto it, none can return, and it is a near-certain death sentence with almost zero chance of survival," Fairy Luotian said solemnly.

From its name alone, one could tell that the Bridge of Life and Death was an extremely dangerous bridge, bound to be related to death.

Indeed, throughout history, there had been far too many terrifying rumors about that place, making people turn pale at the mere mention of it.

Some said that it was a graveyard burying the Prodigy of countless epochs, while others said it might be a critical passage connecting different Realms or eras—

However, danger was often accompanied by Opportunity.

An Immortal Emperor had once deduced that if someone could successfully cross this bridge, spanning an entire epoch in a single step, they would be able to advance toward a higher Realm.

This also led many people to flock to the Bridge of Life and Death in the beginning, including Heavenly Emperor-level figures who created Cultivate systems.

Undoubtedly, these people were arrogant, serving as heroes of their respective eras with invincible self-confidence, knowingly heading straight into the tiger's den despite knowing the danger.

As a result, they were too arrogant. After stepping onto it, there was never any news of them again, and they never returned, dying on the bridge.

Ever since then, that place has been classified as a Forbidden Land for all living beings.

"The origins of the Bridge of Life and Death are unknown. It already existed during the prime of the Heavens, standing tall on the Reincarnation Road."

"Until later, when the Strange Clan occupied part of the Reincarnation Road, that place became a restricted zone, and no one could go there anymore."

Menghai added, also deeply wary of that place, primarily because it had been occupied by the strange entities and become one of their important strongholds.

Besides that, the Strange Clan had four other bridgeheads, namely the Soul River, the Ancient Underworld, the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit, and the Four Extremes Floating Earth.

In every restricted zone, a massive strange army lay dormant. By occupying the Reincarnation Road, they used it to travel to all parts of the various worlds.

Lin Fan frowned. This was similar to what he knew from his past life, but the most dangerous of all was still the Evil Earth Plateau, the ancestral land of the Strange Clan.

If a sacrificial Dao-Realm entity were to walk out from that place, given their current strength, it would be utterly impossible to stop them.

"Cultivate!" Lin Fan said with a solemn expression.

Afterward, the four of them chatted about a few more things before parting ways. Fairy Luotian and Menghai continued to reflect the past, attempting to resurrect the Heavens.

Shi Hao went to tend to his injuries. Having fought for hundreds of years, he certainly needed some time to recover.

At the same time, the Strange Clan was the same; five End-of-the-Road Level beings had died once successively. Even with infinite resurrection capabilities, it still took time.

At this point, what Lin Fan and the others were fighting for was time—they needed to elevate their Dao attainment to the absolute peak within the shortest possible years.

A thousand years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years—

Time flew by in a blur, and six hundred thousand years passed in a flash. Everything across the worlds remained silent, with no major events occurring.

Even the Strange Clan was the same, as if they had fallen into slumber once again. However, everyone knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Because Lin Fan had once secretly descended from the Heavens and inspected places like the Soul River, finding that the ominous aura there was growing increasingly dense.

"The battle is coming," Lin Fan had a premonition and said with some worry, "I am only afraid that my homeland will be exposed like this and targeted by the strange entities."

Although he and Shi Hao had leaped out of the River of Time and timely severed their connections with the myriad Realms to prevent themselves from being deduced,

However, under the joint efforts of the ten Immortal Emperors of the Strange Clan, as well as higher sacrificial Dao presences, these methods were likely useless.

Still, it was not as if nothing had been done.

"Boom!"

On this day, Lin Fan and Shi Hao performed spells together, transmitting information across endless space-time and hundreds of billions of miles to the myriad Realms.

One day, in the skies above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, nine Dragon corpses were inexplicably pulling a bronze coffin on a lonely journey, and they were discovered by people.

After the Footprint Emperor, Willow Deity, Butcher, Burial Lord, and others learned of this, they instantly realized something.

"The Holy Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor have disappeared for hundreds of years. They are indeed still alive, transmitting information to us!"

Someone was surprised, hearing some profound Dao rune sounds within the bronze coffin, which were so esoteric that not everyone could understand them.

The Footprint Emperor arrived. After sensing carefully, he frowned and said, "Trying to mend the heaven and earth—no, there's more. What does this involve?"

He deciphered the scriptures and ultimately obtained a startling sentence: Welcome the battle, guard the homeland!

"What? Even as strong as the Holy Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor, they encountered formidable enemies in the Heavens!" A group of people changed expression and then became uneasy.

"The more one comprehends, the deeper the things involved. I think only those who can walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the Holy Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor can understand everything," the Footprint Emperor sighed with emotion.

"Perhaps they hope someone can reach that kind of Realm, following in their footsteps to fight in battles," Willow Deity judged.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people agreed.

Because over hundreds of thousands of years, Willow Deity had comprehended the scriptures left behind by the two Immortal Emperors, successfully breaking through the Immortal King Realm.

Having created the Sacrificial Spirit Road and ascended to Dao Ancestor, Willow Deity had already become one of the only two Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the myriad Realms.

Furthermore, many people believed that she would achieve the Immortal Emperor Realm even earlier than the Footprint Emperor, catching up with the footsteps of the Holy Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Aside from Willow Deity, the Butcher, Burial Lord, and Meng Tianzheng were also close, having touched the edge of Dao Ancestor and holding the prospect of breaking through the king Realm to become emperors.

Also, there were the two imperial descendants and princesses.

Xiaoshihu and Lin Xi were far too extraordinary; if it weren't for stepping out from under the influence of their fathers' generation, they could become emperors at any time relying solely on their Bloodline Power.

"Father and Uncle Huang are in another Realm, waiting for us to catch up and fight alongside them," Lin Xi said.

"That's right. One day, we will see them again," Xiaoshihu also spoke, extremely resolute.

At the same time, deep within the Heavens, by the sides of Lin Fan and Shi Hao, there were a large number of followers, all of whom were supreme powerhouses.

These were the new orthodoxies established and subordinates cultivated by the two in another Realm. Fairy Luotian and Menghai were naturally glad to see this.

"I hope Brother Emperor Bone can understand the meaning. If things cannot be done, he should take everyone and hide," Lin Fan whispered.

Clearly, everyone in the myriad Realms had misinterpreted his meaning, or rather, that was not a message transmitted to them at all.
