The Pinnacle of the Immortal Path!

Time flew; forty thousand years passed like a white colt flashing past a crack, gone in the snap of a finger.

Within the Taihuang Realm, heaven and earth churned, and Dao Rhyme surged.

A Heaven-Connecting Immortal Path shattered with a thunderous crash amid the sky full of flowing fire. Flames shot into the heavens, and as Dao Rhyme collapsed and scattered, it gave off an ear-piercing roar.

Boom!!!

Flame robes snapped and streamed as a tall, straight figure condensed into being within the flowing fire. It was Liu Chengyu.

The Solar Dao Domain around him had already reached perfection. Crimson Firelight coiled about him, his aura deep and heavy as an abyss, Dao power surging all around him.

He lifted his eyes and looked over. Above the dome of heaven, the other Heaven-Connecting Immortal Paths had all cracked apart and collapsed, turning into a sky full of drifting fireflies.

Only one ice-clear, crystalline immortal path remained, wreathed in rich Lunar Dao Rhyme, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, still standing firm, never once shaken.

Liu Chengyu clenched both fists.

"I lost again..."

His words paused. Then blazing firelight ignited in his eyes, and his tone grew ever firmer.

"However, I have also stepped onto the eighth step of the immortal path!"

"Zhang Xingdao!"

He raised his eyes toward that Lunar immortal path.

"The distance between us is growing smaller and smaller. Sooner or later, I will catch up to you!"

Before his words had even fallen, an invisible power of translocation swept over from the depths of the void and wrapped around his body.

Buzz—

Light and shadow flashed, and Liu Chengyu's figure vanished from the Taihuang Realm in an instant, teleported over a great distance into the depths of the Northern Pole Immortal Mansion.
