Chapter 1676: The End of the Ascension Battles Road

The sound of footsteps echoed.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master looked around, but they saw nothing.

Ye Guan frowned slightly, confused.

The Boundless Master said in a low voice, "No... something's not right..."

The sound of footsteps drew closer and closer. Judging from the sound, the figure had already arrived before them.

But strangely, there was nothing in front of them.

The Boundless Master stared into the space ahead. "The other party is from tens of trillions of years ago..."

Ye Guan looked at the Boundless Master. "You mean, he didn't choose to meet us in this era?"

The Boundless Master replied, "He can't. If he met us in the same era, he would be noticed by the Supreme Will... He's using this method either to tell us something, or... to get us to do something."

Ye Guan looked forward and said, "If it's the first, take one step. If it's the second, take two steps."

Two footsteps sounded.

They were being asked to do something.

Ye Guan asked again, "Do you want us to follow you?"

One footstep sounded.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master exchanged glances.

The Boundless Master nodded. "Let's go."

Ye Guan said, "Please lead the way."

The footsteps started to move into the distance.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master followed. Along the way, Ye Guan observed the lit spacetime walls on all sides, but strangely enough, there was nothing there, only a blank void, as if someone had erased everything.

The Boundless Master puffed on his cigar, eyes also scanning the surroundings, his expression grave.

They didn't know how long they had walked before the footsteps suddenly disappeared. They looked to their right. There, the spacetime wall rippled like water.

They exchanged a look and stepped through.

After passing through a pitch-black void, they arrived in a desolate wasteland, a land that had clearly endured countless ages. Endless yellow sand stretched into the distance, the heavens and earth barren and lifeless.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master continued forward, following the footsteps. Eventually, a massive stone platform appeared in the distance, towering ten thousand meters high. Atop it stood a grand hall, its architecture strange. It was shaped like a fierce beast, exuding immense majesty.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master exchanged another glance, puzzled.

Soon, the footsteps brought them to the front of the grand hall, but then stopped at the doorway.

Ye Guan stepped forward and gently pushed the doors open. The dust-covered gates creaked as they opened, releasing an ancient aura of time.

Inside, there was only a single light screen. As they entered, the screen began to show images.

In the image, deep in an endless mountain range, a boy of six or seven was running wildly. He wore a skirt made of beast hide, and his hair was a wild mess. He sprinted through the forest like a madman, a ferocious tiger chasing him.

Just as the tiger was about to catch him, the boy suddenly stopped, then kicked off a massive rock with his right foot, launching himself into the air. The tiger lunged, but missed and slammed into a large tree.

Boom!

The tree cracked apart, and the tiger howled in pain.

At that moment, the boy landed on the tiger's back. Somehow, he had grabbed a tree branch, and with his left hand clutching the tiger's ear, he stabbed the branch into the tiger's eyes.

Blood sprayed.

The tiger was blinded.

He flipped off its back, dove underneath, and thrust the branch into its softest spot.

"Rooooaaaar!!" A horrific shriek echoed through the forest.

Moments later, the tiger lay motionless on the ground.

The boy skinned it, then began eating it raw, gnawing directly into its flesh.

The screen flickered; ten years passed.

The boy had grown into a youth of sixteen or seventeen, still dressed only in beast hide, brimming with wild and deadly energy. A group of great beasts surrounded him; all of them were Circle Breakers.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master glanced at each other, both of their faces turned serious.

The youth himself was already a Circle Breaker!

At sixteen years old!

Both were stunned. Someone so monstrous actually existed...

Onscreen, the great beasts lunged at the youth but he showed no fear. Swinging his arms like clubs, he smashed them into pulp. Howls of pain filled the air.

He crushed them despite being at the same cultivation level.

"Holy shit..."

Even Ye Guan couldn't help but curse. A Circle Breaker at suc a young age was insane enough, and wielding such power was just cheating.

The Boundless Master grimly said, "That's the Hundred Races Ruler... the fated one of that time, born in response to fate... You might see one like him only once every trillions of years."

Ye Guan fell silent.

The destined one of an era.

Each era has its own elite geniuses, but among them, there will always be one who stands above the rest.

Without a doubt, this youth, the Hundred Races Ruler, was such a figure.

The scene shifted again.

Now, he stood at the Ascension Battles Road. The once-boy was now the full-fledged Hundred Races Ruler, the strongest being in the vast expanse.

Standing among countless other powerhouses, hands clasped behind his back, he gazed up the Ascension Battles Road. Around him stood nine Peak Circle Breakers cultivators, terrifying in their own right, though still a level below him.

Just then, the screen blurred.

The Boundless Master's face changed. "Damn it, someone's interfering, blocking us from seeing the battle!"

Ye Guan coldly asked, "The Supreme Will?"

The Boundless Master stared at the flickering screen. "Not sure. But clearly, someone doesn't want us to know the Supreme Will's true power..."

Ye Guan was about to speak when suddenly, the Hundred Races Ruler on the screen raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Boom!

The blurred image began to clear up again.

Seeing this, Ye Guan and the Boundless Master exchanged shocked glances.

"He knows we're watching," the Boundless Master said in disbelief.

Ye Guan nodded and finally understood. The Hundred Races Ruler wanted them to see the true power of the Supreme Will.

The Supreme Will.

The source of all. The end of all.

They stared hard at the Ascension Battles Road.

Suddenly, the Hundred Races Ruler charged forward. Terrifying auras exploded across the world, shaking the entire universe.

Almost at the same moment, from the Ascension Battles Road, an overwhelming presence descended.

Ye Guan and Boundless Master recognized it instantly.

The Eternal Time Lord!

As he stepped forward, the air filled with the oppressive power of time itself. The past, present, and future of countless eras appeared, forming rivers of time that tried to crush the Ruler's forces, but it wasn't enough.

Then another aura descended, one of tribulations. Waves of tribulation energy poured down like a flood. In the sky, countless dark red bolts of tribulation lightning gathered, roaring and raging as if they would tear the universe apart.

The Tribulation Lord!

He emerged as the tribulation lightning became even more violent. He had no fleshly body; his form was made entirely of dark red lightning, forged from endless tribulations.

Born of tribulations...the Tribulation Lord.

Ye Guan and the Boundless Master's expressions grew darker.

Then, yet another aura fell from the path.

A middle-aged man stepped forward. As he did, lines of karma appeared above the heads of every cultivator.

The Karma Lord.

Master of all causes and effects across time.

Beside him walked an elder, and when he appeared, countless paths of reincarnation formed, divided into good and evil. Enter the good path, and one could be reborn. Enter the evil path, and the soul would suffer eternal torment until it was wiped from existence.

The Reincarnation Lord.

Then, beside him came a green ox, and seated atop it was a woman holding a bamboo flute, a small boat hanging from her waist...

When she appeared, all evil auras withdrew; none dared approach.

"It's her!"

Ye Guan was shocked.

Then, a man in golden battle armor stepped forward, wielding a battle axe. As soon as he emerged, a fearsome battle will swept across the world like a storm. His intent tore open the Ruler's aura and charged straight toward him.

The Hundred Races Ruler raised a fist and punched.

Boom!

The golden warrior's terrifying aura was shattered instantly.

The Boundless Master stared at the Hundred Races Ruler. "He's insanely strong."

Ye Guan nodded in agreement. That golden-armored warrior had the strongest battle intent Ye Guan had ever seen, yet it was shattered in a single punch.

Unreal.

The golden warrior stared back, eyes blazing with endless battle lust. He was like an ancient god of war, flooding the heavens with his fighting will.

However, the Hundred Races Ruler only cast him a glance.

Just then, another figure stepped out.

When they saw who it was, Ye Guan and the Boundless Master cried out in shock...

"Holy..."

It was the Great Daoist Brush Master.

As he stepped forward, all the great Dao of the world manifested, gathered, and evolved around him.

His true body! The convergence of all Dao.

The pinnacle of all Daos, the one who suppressed everything in the world. No one else's aura even came close.

Just then, another figure appeared. When Ye Guan saw her, he was stunned.

It was a woman in white robes—Clan Leader Jing!
