1690 Mo Wuji's Power, Luo Xue, Galaxy God King Ancient Path Opens

"Crude."

Mo Wuji pursed his lips at the incoming fiery sword shadow and countered with a palm strike.

His Immortal's Core energy rumbled and runes swirled around the energy stream as it formed a massive palm sign, destroying the rampaging sword shadow.

Mo Wuji remained seated on his chariot with his women by his side, unfazed by the sudden attack.

Having access to the tenderness of women and exhilaration from a battle at the move at his hand, he was living a beautiful life.

Chi Longying narrowed his eyes solemnly.

"You really are stronger."

"Of course."

"But you getting stronger doesn't mean you're catching up to us. Quit joking around. We'll only be stronger, and the distance between us will only be wider. You can never catch up to any of us," Mo Wuji said.

His words were insulting but true. A hint of defeat flashed in both Chi Longying and Leng Wufeng's eyes.

Mo Wuji was only ranked ninth, yet he was already so powerful. What about the others ranked higher than him? What about the first on the leaderboard? How powerful would that person be?

"It's so terrifying! That's the power of the top ten monsters!"

"I wonder how powerful is the first place on the ranking, Di Qianqiu, the man from the Emperor Tribe, labeled as the strongest in the current generation."

"I have no idea. Ever since Di Qianqiu ranked first, he has rarely shown himself. The last time he fought was with Xiang Tianchang from the Conqueror Tribe, and that battle made him the first on the leaderboard. After that, no one has seen him fight again."

"The Mystic Divination Tribe once said that Di Qianqiu is probably the most talented person over the last ten eras."

The discussion continued.

It was then that the sky started snowing heavily.

A woman emerged from the snow. She had a sword at her waist and beautiful hair that draped on her shoulder. Her lips were luscious, her looks were fresh, and her eyes looked bright.

On top of that, her brows were sharp, and her skin was as fair as snow.

She was a beautiful woman indeed, and her appearance immediately overshadowed the two women by Mo Wuji's side.

"It's Luo Xue!"

"The eleventh on the Heavenly God Leaderboard!"

Those who recognized her showed a look of admiration in their eyes.

There were only a number of ladies who made it onto the Heavenly God Leaderboard, and only two ladies were in the top ten.

Although Luo Xue was one place away from the top ten, her reputation rivaled that of the two other ladies.

In addition to her beautiful looks, some called her the Snow Fairy or Goddess Luo of the Swords.

Many idolized her as the perfect woman.

However, Luo Xue devoted her life to the Sword Dao and concentrated on that only. It had been many years since she appeared in the public's eyes, but no one could truly get close to her.

"Luo Xue, it's been a while."

Mo Wuji ditched the two ladies by his side and stared at Luo Xue eagerly.

Luo Xue wanted to ignore him, but since he was the ninth of the top ten, she nodded at him out of courtesy.

Nevertheless, Mo Wuji was not bothered by the cold shoulder.

It was no secret that Luo Xue treated everyone coldly, so it was already an achievement to get a nod from her.

As the sky-prides and Prodigies gathered, all that was left was the opening of the Galaxy God King Ancient Path.

Kroom!

A loud rumbling sounded.

The planet started to tremble, followed by Immortal Sparks bursting into the sky.

A pillar of light burst from the ground and shot up into space.

The pillar of light acted as a path, starting from where the cultivators gathered and extended all the way to space, lighting up the stars and planets.

Its grand and vast aura was awe-inspiring.

"The Galaxy God King Ancient Path has opened!"

The crowd was intrigued.

There were countless planets and stars within the Ancient Path, but only nine-hundred and ninety-nine were the main ones, which made up the location of the nine-hundred and ninety-nine challenges left behind by the Galaxy God King.

Kaboom!

Another boundless energy erupted. Everyone felt pressured as if tens of thousands of mountains were on their shoulders.

The cultivators who failed to resist the terrifying pressure were pinned to the ground and immobilized.

"W-What is going on?"

"This ancient planet is the first challenge of the Ancient Path, and the trial has begun!"

"Damn it! It's just the first challenge, and this is how powerful it is? Who could make it through all nine-hundred and ninety-nine challenges?"

"The Galaxy God King Ancient Path really does live up to its name."

Only a number of Prodigies were not affected by the pressure.

"The trial has begun. Let's go."

Leng Wufeng led his people who were not affected by the pressure forward, moving toward the next challenge.

The others continued forward as well.

"Luo Xue, why don't you come with me?"

Mo Wuji invited Luo Xue to enter the trial together.

Luo Xue shook her head coldly. "I'm fine alone."

She had never experienced love between a man and a woman, but she knew what Mo Wuji wanted from her. However, she did not want to care and simply chose to leave.

"Luo Xue is really arrogant. How dare he defy our master?" said one of the ladies beside Mo Wuji.

"Hmph. If you're the eleventh on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, you can do it as well," Mo Woji grunted before he steered the chariot and rode toward the Ancient Path.

Those who were not affected had already begun the trial, leaving those who were pinned on the ground behind.

Despite the intimidating challenge, more and more people gathered on the ancient planet, where the first trial was at.

As the number of challengers increased, the pressure increased.

"Damn! How can we make it through the first challenge?"

"The first challenge of the Ancient Path deterred ninety percent of the challengers! The challenges left behind by the Galaxy God King are indeed difficult."

"Nonsense. Of course, it's difficult. It's the challenge left behind by a God King! How easy would you expect it to be?"

"Yeah. I heard the Galaxy God King is considered one of the best among the God Kings, and he's as powerful as the Supreme God King."

More and more people failed at the first challenge.

Some gave up as they were aware of their own strength, so they started camping on the spot and chatted with others.

Soon, two warships came.

Several people came down from the warships.

The leading figure in white attracted all the attention.

"His aura is so strong and profound. Who is he?"

"I don't know. He's definitely someone powerful. Could he be a Prodigy on the Heavenly God Leaderboard?"

"Beats me."

"Wait, that's the one who's ranked ninety-ninth, Feng Qingxue!"

Someone recognized Feng Qingxue.

The ninety-ninth place was not a proud placing on the leaderboard, but it was enough to stand out from the commons.

Surprisingly, Feng Qingxue was behind the man in white, looking restrained and nervous. It was as though she was afraid of the man in white.

Who would that be? Why would someone on the Heavenly God Leaderboard be afraid of him?

"Is this the Ancient Path? I wonder if it can excite me."

Chu Kuangren scanned the path and looked at the very end of the long, dazzling path.

Then, he smiled and led the group to the next challenge.

The first challenge was non-existent to them.
