Star Domain Ancient Path

The Cloud Boat weaved through the clouds, and the disciples stood on the deck, looking around at the scenery, all feeling excited.

Some people, however, gathered together, whispering amongst themselves, their faces full of anticipation.

Huo Cangliang and Hua Qiang sat facing each other, while a female disciple brewed tea beside them.

"Xiao Qiang, this Grand Martial Arts Tournament has a large number of participants and involves many different races. The strength of the participants is unprecedented in history."

"Oh? Father-in-law, tell me about it!" Hua Qiang raised an eyebrow, showing interest.

The stronger you are, the faster your Slaughter Points will accumulate.

Huo Cangliang placed all his hopes on Hua Qiang, so naturally he had to educate him and help him master relevant information. Only by knowing himself and his enemy could he effectively defeat them.

Cough cough!

After clearing his throat, Huo Cangliang slowly said, "Our Sacred Martial Continent is divided into four major regions: east, west, south, north, and central. It covers a vast area and has a wide variety of races."

Human Race, Demon Race, Beast Race, Devil Race, Elf Race, Dwarf Race, Giant Race... and so on.

"Every race will send contestants to participate in this Grand Martial Arts Tournament, and every race has powerful prodigies."

"Of the top ten on the Sky City's Heaven's Chosen Ranking, only one Human Race; the rest are divided among the other races."

"The number one ranked person is Ao Xingchen, who is twenty years old and comes from the Dragon Race."

Second place: Wu Feier, eighteen years old, from the Vermilion Bird Race.

Third place: You Ruoxun, 22 years old, Devil Race.

Fourth place: Xuan Yuanmeimei, sixteen years old, Human Race.

First place: Mei Lingsha, sixteen years old, Elf Race.

Sixth place: Pang Budian, 28 years old, Giant Race.

Seventh place: Hu Xiaoxian, sixteen years old, Spirit Fox Race.

..."

"My dear son-in-law, you must be careful of these people on your journey to Sky City. They are all formidable enemies and stumbling blocks on your path."

"These people must have some tricks up their sleeves to become famous at such a young age. Once you encounter them, remember to be careful and don't let your carelessness lead to an unexpected disaster."

"My dear son-in-law, our Azure Cloud Sect is counting on you this time. Everyone is eagerly awaiting news of your triumphant return!"

Hua Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I'm sure I'll get you first place this time. Just wait and see how you fight for resources and rights!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Huo Cangliang laughed heartily, his heart pounding with excitement, and said, "Since my son-in-law says so, then I, your father-in-law, am ready to wait!"

At this moment, riding the Cloud Boat, they were like fearless warriors, resolutely plunging into the vast and boundless sea of clouds.

In an instant, the surrounding world was submerged by endless whiteness, leaving only a vast expanse of white in sight. The surging sea of clouds, like a turbulent wave, seemed to want to completely devour the Cloud Boat.

However, the Cloud Boat did not linger in this sea of clouds for long. As if drawn by some mysterious force, it broke through the heavy blockade of the sea of clouds in an instant and rushed into a Star Domain Ancient Path.

The moment they stepped onto the ancient path, a powerful and eerie force surged towards them like a raging tide.

In the once tranquil space, countless currents surged forth like raging Flood Dragon, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, rushing towards the Cloud Boat.

Meteorites of all sizes, like ignited cannonballs, streaked towards us with long, fiery tails at a terrifying speed.

And those fragments of stars, shimmering with a cold, eerie light, seemed to be remnants of a cosmic war, carrying an endless aura of death, and rained down on the spaceship.

There were also all sorts of broken weapons, some with broken blades and twisted spear shafts, yet they still radiated a chilling light, as if unwilling to be forgotten, and were also swept away by this torrent along with the Cloud Boat.

Fortunately, the Cloud Boat had already activated its protective shield.

A crystal-clear yet indestructible protective shield, like mercury spilling onto the ground, completely enveloped the entire ship.

The protective shield, under the violent impact of various external objects, rippled with dazzling halos, like layers of ripples on the surface of water.

Standing inside the Cloud Boat, everyone's eyes were fixed on the external objects that were crashing into the boat like raindrops, and their ears were filled with the continuous clanging and banging sounds, like a grand and chaotic symphony of metal.

Some team members with weaker mental fortitude turned ashen-faced, large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and a hint of fear flashed involuntarily in their eyes.

After all, these things from the depths of the starry sky came with overwhelming force. Their enormous impact and destructive aura were truly chilling, as if the end of the world had arrived, deeply shaking everyone's hearts.

Sudden—

The Cloud Boat began to shake violently along the Star Domain Ancient Path. The Azure Cloud Sect disciples on the deck gripped the handrails tightly, their faces filled with tension and shock.

A male disciple stared wide-eyed at the meteorites and star fragments hurtling towards him outside the protective shield, muttering to himself, "This Star Domain Ancient Path is far more dangerous than I imagined!"

The female disciples beside him were already so frightened that they hugged each other tightly.

"What should we do? Will we perish in this vast universe?" A female disciple asked, her voice trembling with tears.

The girl who was hugging her tried to remain calm, but she couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. "Don't be afraid, the Cloud Boat has a protective shield, it will definitely protect us."

But even she herself lacked confidence in those words.

An older male disciple took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! We are the elite among the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. This time, we are representing the sect to participate in the Grand Martial Arts Tournament, to compete with disciples from other regions, and to bring glory to our sect. How can we be afraid of such external forces?"

Once you embark on this path, you will inevitably encounter both opportunities and challenges.

Such a scene, though terrifying, is also a time for us to temper our minds.

His words were mostly drowned out by the sound of the impact, and few people responded.

The disciples were filled with mixed feelings at this moment, including fear of the danger they knew and frustration at their own weakness.

Recalling the peaceful days of cultivation within the Azure Cloud Sect, and comparing them to the heart-stopping events of the present, one can't help but marvel at the vastness of the universe and one's own insignificance.

Some even regretted participating in the operation.

"When I return this time, I will definitely cultivate diligently and never slack off again." A young disciple clenched his fist, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes.

Influenced by this disciple, some people who were weak-willed, timid and fearful gradually became bolder, their eyes became more determined, and they even clenched their fists and straightened their backs.

If no one else is afraid, why should I be?

What's more... their eyes suddenly lit up. They realized that the leader of this team was the Sect Master himself, along with their Supreme Elder Hua Qiang.

With these two around, they might... should... possibly be... alright, right?

At this moment, the Cloud Boat struggled to move forward through the Star Domain Ancient Path, which was like a hail of bullets, and the mood of everyone on board was also uncertain.
