Dragon Girl was beautiful, her robes fluttering. She smoothed her purple hair and gazed toward Beidou, saying quietly, "You must understand, in those final hurdles, human tribulations are harder to overcome than heavenly tribulations!"
At those words.
Golden Heavenly Maiden's eyes lit up, and she nodded earnestly. "Exactly. The Road to Immortality Opens soon. The beings within the forbidden zones may well be unwilling to see someone in this age attain the Dao and become an Emperor, competing with them for the Immortal Road!"
Ancient Emperors' children like them.
Even with the safeguards their fathers had left behind, they dared not claim they could pass those final hurdles with absolute certainty, let alone the Eastern Emperor.
Moreover, the Road to Immortality would open in this lifetime. Some of the beings within the forbidden zones had probably already awakened.
If the Eastern Emperor's Tribulation caused too great a commotion, the Supremes within the forbidden zones were bound to be alerted.
The more dazzling the Eastern Emperor was, the more easily he would provoke their wariness and killing intent.
One could say his death was certain.
"The Eastern Emperor... has he already reached this point?"
On an ancient Primeval Stars.
Hearing the news from the other ancient roads, a figure blazing with golden light and brimming with battle intent froze.
"There's just no comparing!" After a moment, the Saint Emperor's Son recovered and could not help shaking his head, filled with indescribable emotion.
He feared neither heaven nor earth and had always considered himself no weaker than anyone.
Yet faced with a demon prodigy like this, even he had to concede.
"Hum..."
Meanwhile.
In an unknown star domain.
An ancient great tomb was dug open.
A corpse was hauled out of an ancient coffin, wisps of saint might spreading from it.
