The news that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had broken through to the Saint realm quickly spread across many Dao domains.
Becoming a Saint in less than thirty years. Such talent could no longer be described as monstrous. Unfortunately…
"No living being cursed by the Soul Extinguishing Curse has ever lived past a hundred years. What a pity for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son."
Many forces sighed in regret. Since ancient times, no one had ever escaped the fated doom of the Soul Extinguishing Curse.
"No, how could a figure like that fall so easily?"
Some people still firmly believed that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son would not perish so simply.
Inside the Ye Clan, Su Chen prepared to step onto the Emperor Path. This was not his first time treading this road, yet the Emperor Path was ultimately filled with countless dangers. Reaching the other shore and entering the Ancient Emperor Realm was no easy task.
"You wish to follow me?"
An uninvited guest had arrived at the Ye Clan — the current successor of the Heaven Severing Sect.
It was both unexpected and within expectations. After his defeat, the Heaven Severing Sect successor had walked out of failure and undergone a transformation of mind and heart. He had become steadier. With a little polishing, he would surely become a sharp blade.
The Heaven Severing Sect successor nodded. "That's right. I want to follow you onto the Emperor Path and slay all enemies."
Su Chen said, "Good. From now on, you shall be called Ye San."
The Heaven Severing Sect successor was slightly stunned. "I… I already have a name!"
Wasn't the name Ye San a bit too casual?
The Heaven Severing Sect successor muttered inwardly.
But Su Chen waved his hand grandly.
"That doesn't matter. From today onward, you are Ye San."
Su Chen led his many prodigies, bid farewell to the Ye Clan members one by one, and then stepped onto the path of attaining the Dao.
...
Ten years had passed since Su Chen and his group set foot on the Emperor Path.
On the warship, Vast and powerful auras filled every corner of the vessel. Terrifying figures stood all around. Those qualified to board this warship were, without exception, top-tier geniuses.
Ahead lay an incomparably massive city. Countless stars linked together to form its structure. Above the city floated runes powerful enough to suppress and kill everything.
This was an Emperor Pass!
Inside the Emperor Pass gathered geniuses from the surrounding major star domains.
Countless figures stood before the Emperor Pass. They came from different races, but at this moment their goal was the same. Their target was the supreme human prodigy, the monster hailed as possessing the bearing of a Great Emperor and unrivaled in this era — Ye Chen!

"Human Ye Chen, stop hiding like a turtle! Come out and accept our challenge!"
A heavenly prodigy who was unrivaled in his star domain, exuding an invincible aura, shouted toward the oncoming warship.
At that moment, Powerful auras surged forth from within the warship as one prodigy after another charged out to fight.
"If you want to challenge our Master, you'll have to prove you are qualified first!"
A great battle erupted.
Su Chen stopped his cultivation and stood on the pavilion deck of the warship, overlooking the distant scene together with the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden. Over these ten years, everyone had cultivated diligently and made progress. At this Emperor Pass, Su Chen intended to use these foreign race prodigies to temper his followers.
The battle raged fiercely. Some bled, some exploded with everything they had, charging through the enemy like no one could stop them.
"So refreshing… truly refreshing…"
Ji Changkong laughed loudly. A terrifying tribulation suddenly descended upon him — he was undergoing the Saint Tribulation!
The faces of the surrounding foreign race prodigies changed drastically as they frantically scattered in all directions. Ji Changkong did not pursue them. The vast Saint Tribulation thundered down from the sky.
The innate Holy Spirit's physical body was terrifying beyond imagination. Even while bathing in the lightning tribulation, he remained completely unmoved. The tribulation could not even break through his defense. Even when it finally transformed into the most horrifying calamity, it still failed to inflict any serious damage on Ji Changkong.
The moment Ji Changkong passed the Saint Tribulation, inside the Emperor Pass, six majestic Saint auras rose at the same time. These were the strongest young experts among the races that dominated numerous star domains. Without exception, they were all at the Saint realm. The foreign race prodigies who had wanted to challenge Su Chen were nothing more than ants compared to these beings.
Six foreign race Saint realm monsters charged toward Ji Changkong at once. Their clash was terrifying. The aftershocks alone caused even the old monsters guarding the Emperor Pass to tremble in fear.
"That is the legendary Holy Spirit… The rumors were true. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son has subdued a Holy Spirit. Even if a Holy Spirit cannot become an Emperor, it can still walk another path and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Supremes!"
Ji Changkong directly tore one foreign race monster apart with his bare hands, dyeing the sky with blood. With a casual wave, he exploded another. His combat strength was utterly despair-inducing.
A foreign race Saint realm genius tried to flee, but Ji Changkong pinned him to the city wall of the Emperor Pass with a single sword strike.
"Monster… this is a monster!"
A being with two horns on its head had its Dao heart collapse. It roared desperately. Since its birth, it had possessed boundless strength and peerless body techniques, easily fighting above its realm. On the Emperor Path, it had been unstoppable and rarely met a match. Yet in a single exchange with Ji Changkong, both its arms had been torn off. The strength it had been so proud of was as fragile as thin paper.
Ji Changkong's body was wreathed in Holy Spirit light. Innate laws descended around him like a divine being as he erased the last survivor. Only then did everyone truly understand what a Holy Spirit was. Holy Spirits stood high above all, inherently ferocious and tyrannical. They only appeared obedient in front of Su Chen.
Inside the Emperor Pass, no one dared to block Su Chen and his group any longer.
The guardians of the Emperor Pass watched the scene and fell into reminiscence. In those distant years, they too had been full of spirit and ambition as they stepped onto the Emperor Path…
Unfortunately, time eroded even the proudest geniuses. This world never lacked talent. There were always stronger people beyond the mountains and heavens beyond the heavens. They had been filled with confidence, yet they had still lost in the end.
"What a pity for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son…"
Someone sighed. It was no secret that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had been cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. Since ancient times, no one had ever survived a hundred years after being afflicted by it. In the end, the Ye Clan's Emperor Son was merely a fleeting flower in this great era.
Outside the Emperor Pass, the foreign race prodigies who had once considered themselves peerless in talent now felt utter despair. They could not even challenge Su Chen. Even his followers could easily defeat them!
The enormous gap would shatter the Dao hearts of countless geniuses.
Su Chen did not linger long inside the Emperor Pass. With his strength, he was qualified to advance deeper into the Emperor Path.
