Heavenly Evolution Mountains, Demon-Suppressing Pass!!!
This is a colossal, majestic pass stretching tens of thousands of miles from east to west. It is the most forward-deployed barrier in the Human Race's Human Race and the first line of defense against the invasion of the Ancient Devil Race.
The city wall is built from basalt rock that has been poured for thousands of years. It is towering thousands of feet high and has a formidable defense. It is bathed in the smoke and Sha Qi all year round. It is majestic and desolate, and has stood firm for thousands of years.
At this moment, the Demon-Suppressing Pass is bustling with activity.
Countless garrison soldiers and frontline warriors worked together to repair the devastation left by the previous demonic war.
The broken city walls were repaired one by one, the collapsed houses were rebuilt, and the cracked passes and fortifications were gradually patched up and reinforced.
The wind and sand swept over the city walls, carrying a faint lingering smell of blood, but could not dispel the vibrant life within the pass.
The crowd moved stones and timber, polished the city defenses, their work was busy and arduous, their clothes soaked with sweat, but no one showed any signs of fatigue or resentment.
On the contrary, everyone's face was genuinely beaming with a relaxed and warm smile, their eyes filled with the relief and exhilaration of surviving a disaster.
Not long ago, the Human Race and the Ancient Devil Race finally achieved a great victory.
Not only did they defeat the three Demon Emperors and kill billions of demon soldiers, but they also recaptured the four fortified cities that had been breached, protecting the entire Northern Frontier of the Human Race!
After this battle, the Northern Frontier may be able to enjoy peace for several years, or even ten years!
After going through bloody battles and life-or-death situations, the arduous repairs now underway are a rebirth for everyone, a chance to protect the hope of Human Race.
On the city walls!
Luo Fentian, Xu Jingchen, and Han Guya watched the soldiers busily repairing the city walls and the martial artists chatting and laughing on the streets of the city, and a look of satisfaction appeared in their eyes.
"Today should be the day our newly promoted Emperor Realm expert joins the Heaven-Dominating Sect and assumes the position of Supreme Elder, right?!"
Xu Jingchen put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look in the direction of the Heaven-Dominating Sect, his gaze seemingly fixed on the void, as if he could see the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
A gentle breeze ruffled his robes, and his eyes were filled with a mixture of admiration and wonder.
No one could have predicted that the person who saved the Demon-Breaking Pass and reversed the tide of battle that day would be a seventeen-year-old boy from Qing Province.
"That old ghost is still so shrewd, managing to recruit such a martial arts prodigy into the Heaven-Dominating Sect. The Heaven-Dominating Sect has really struck gold this time!"
Luo Fentian, standing to the side, sneered, but his face was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Like Cang Wanli of the Heaven-Dominating Sect, Luo Fentian is also over nine hundred years old, and his lifespan is truly running out.
Apart from him, the highest cultivation level in the Blazing Sun Sect was only at the late stage of the Martial King Realm, and breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm was a distant dream.
Therefore, upon learning that Cang Wanli had actually recruited the newly promoted Martial Emperor Realm into the Heaven-Dominating Sect and even appointed him as a Supreme Elder, Luo Fentian felt a mix of emotions and was extremely annoyed.
If he hadn't been stationed in the Northern Frontier this time, and if he had known about this martial arts prodigy, he would never have let that old devil Cang Wanli get such a huge advantage.
"Heh heh, who could have imagined that our Great Luo Dynasty would give birth to such a heaven-defying prodigy?!"
Han Guya smiled slightly, a hint of amazement and sigh flashing in his eyes, and said, "To advance to the Martial Emperor Realm at seventeen, such progress in cultivation is something I've only ever seen in Ancient God texts."
"It's a pity that this battle has only just ended and the Northern Frontier is still not stable, otherwise I really would have gone back to enjoy wine and discuss philosophy with this Emperor Chen!"
"With this person's talent, it's possible that he might break through the shackles that have stood for tens of thousands of years!"
"Breaking free from the shackles of the Martial Emperor Realm is not that simple!"
As soon as Han Guya finished speaking, Xu Jingchen shook his head and sighed, "This is the shackle of heaven and earth, the Great Dao of heaven and earth's blockade against us Martial Emperor Realm. How can human power shake it?!"
"How many extraordinary geniuses has the Human Race of my Azure Origin Continent produced over the past tens of thousands of years?"
"Countless Martial Emperor Realm have devoted their entire lives to enlightenment, fought for half their lives, and secluded themselves for a thousand years, yet in the end, none of them have been able to take that final step."
"The threshold to the Saint Realm has long been completely sealed off by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; this is an insurmountable barrier that talent, resources, and perseverance cannot overcome."
He raised his eyes to gaze at the heavy, demonic mist in the distance, his tone filled with endless vicissitudes and helplessness.
"Good!"
Luo Fentian nodded slightly, his eyes also filled with sighs, and said, "Our four sects have produced countless geniuses in our ancestors who have reached the Martial Emperor Realm realm, yet they have never been able to grasp even the slightest chance of reaching the Saint Realm realm throughout their lives."
"It's not that we lack talent, but that this world doesn't allow anyone to break free from these constraints!"
Han Guya sighed softly and said nothing more.
Although, he also wanted to say that Chen An might be different.
However, thinking of how countless martial arts prodigies over the past ten thousand years had been unable to break this curse, his heart sank, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Even the most dazzling upstart appears insignificant and powerless in the face of the eternal trend of countless Martial Emperor Realm who have fallen one after another.
"I am not denying Chen An's talent. At seventeen, he has already surpassed all his peers in history Martial Emperor Realm. He will surely protect the Human Race in the future."
"But with the Great Dao's Heavenly Lock standing in our way, whether we can take that step depends entirely on fate and destiny."
"At least for now, the fact that he was able to kill one of Slaughterblood's avatars and deter the ambitions of the Ancient Devil Race is already a great merit." After a pause, Luo Fentian added.
"Brother Luo is right!"
Xu Jingchen smiled slightly and said, "At least, they are much younger than us old folks, and have nearly a thousand years to pursue this. Perhaps they will unravel the mystery and break through the shackles at any time."
"Hehe, who can know what the future holds? I certainly won't be able to see it!" Luo Fentian with a faint smile.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!~~
Suddenly, a series of muffled sounds came from afar, even shaking the city walls.
The three of them suddenly changed their expressions, their leisurely conversation vanished instantly, and they all turned to look in the direction where the demonic energy was spreading.
"Not good!"
The three men's gazes pierced through the demonic mist, and when they saw the source of the sound, a solemn expression appeared on their faces.
Boundless Devil Creature spread out like a black tide before the Heavenly Evolution Mountains, densely packed and seemingly endless. Their ferocious roars rose and fell, and their heavy demonic hooves pounded the earth, causing it to tremble and rumble. The continuous loud noises were caused by the countless demonic troops rushing and crashing into the ground.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"All troops on high alert!!!"
Luo Fentian roared, and the aura of the Martial Emperor Realm expert exploded, reminding all the soldiers who were busy in the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
Suddenly, the soldiers who had been happily repairing the city wall were stunned, then their expressions changed drastically. They resolutely picked up their weapons and rushed towards the city wall...
