Chapter 2522: Chapter 2520: The Immortal Emperor Awakens

They had studied it before and felt that no matter what, Qin Yu wouldn’t be harmed.

Forcing Qin Yu to face Daniel Wilson in the worst state, isn’t it clearly borrowing a knife to kill someone, directly putting him in a deadly situation?

“I had a conversation with the Holy Lord, and he implied that even the Human Clan Saints have factions, and it might be that my path conflicts with his, hence why Skyler constantly targets me.”

Ethan Smith said with a wry smile.

“Among the Saints, one’s destiny can be sensed in the unseen, and when I awakened my Bloodline after reaching the Fifth Rank, I had some insights. Maybe your existence, Ethan, brings him something negative, so he targets you.”

Emily Taylor was furious at this moment, especially upon hearing Skyler’s arrangements.

Her anger reached an extreme, for her Bloodline had been treated as merchandise since Earth.

Even now, she was still considered a cold-hearted cultivator.

“One day, I’ll kill that bastard!”

Emily Taylor said fiercely, even if above the Fifth Rank, such disdain cannot be tolerated.

If it were a Sixth Rank Saint of Different Races, she might accept it.

But Skyler, as the leader of the Alliance, still does such things, inevitably inciting outrage.

Ella Jenkins shook her head slightly, pointed to the sky, and then said no more.

Ethan Smith suddenly thought of the mark left by Xeno Johnson, which might be a means to preserve his life.

But with a Sixth Rank Saint’s methods, as long as the mark exists.

No matter where he goes or what he does, escaping Xeno Johnson’s surveillance seems impossible.

Although events have shown Xeno Johnson as relatively friendly, having such an eye embedded in the Sea of Divine Soul makes Ethan feel uncomfortable.

Ethan tried to isolate this divine soul imprint using the power of Divine Consciousness.

But no matter how he tried, it seemed he couldn’t block that kind of force.

Forget it, if Xeno Johnson intended harm, he wouldn’t have managed to leave completely unscathed from that recent battle.

Seeing that the force couldn’t be isolated, and the imprint couldn’t be violently disrupted, Ethan had no choice but to ignore it.

“In the recent battle against Daniel, I had a sudden insight. It seemed that within our world, there’s a layer of extremely difficult-to-detect constraint! I had never sensed this power before, but this time, it was revealed by the integration of three forces, manifesting Primordial Chaos energy into my desolate divine eye, allowing me to perceive it.”

Ethan shared with everyone his discovery during the battle with Daniel, hoping Ella Jenkins and others might have insights on this.

“That’s the Heavenly Path Prison, though I didn’t expect you to notice it. It’s rare for someone of your realm to detect it.”

A dry voice suddenly sounded, it was the Immortal Emperor’s corpse from the Green family.

The Emperor’s spirit, weakened to the extreme after Ethan’s journey to the Ghost World, had been healing within the Nine-lives Coffin and was now awakened.

“The Heavenly Path Prison, is it confining all living beings within the universe? What is the purpose of the heavens? Is this prison the reason it’s been difficult to break through in recent Heavenly Path Years?”

Emily Taylor spoke in amazement.

“You are quite perceptive, little girl. Saints possess a portion of causal power, which even the Path of Heaven finds hard to entirely eliminate. This prison is set to thoroughly cut off the path for beings to ascend to Sixth Rank Saints. Something has changed above, causing the Path of Heaven to establish this restriction, though now I can no longer sense changes above.”

The Immortal Emperor spoke softly.

During his era, this constraint did not exist.

Now, it’s like Iron Chains, wrapping the immense universe layer upon layer. This transformation, even when he was the Immortal Emperor, is beyond his comprehension.

“To determine the cause, one must break through the seal and become a Saint, only then can the reason be uncovered. Yet, with the power you possess now, breaking the Heavenly Path Prison is impossible unless guided by a Saint to tear it open, otherwise there’s no chance.”

“Then how did the masked woman manage to break through and become a Saint above the Fifth Rank?”

Ethan voiced his doubt.

“Integration of Nine Ways, from the original path of Nine Worlds to the Path of Heaven’s technique in the Heavenly Path Year, the perfect convergence of nine great paths is indeed formidable, but still cannot break through this prison.”

The Immortal Emperor seemed to have seen the masked woman before, and after pondering for a few moments, shook his head.

“So, you mean a Saint must guide the masked woman for her to break through this Fifth Rank path?”

Ethan immediately thought of Skyler Taylor’s death, could this be a tacit agreement among Saints?

“A Saint occupies a portion of destiny energy in heaven and earth, which is extremely terrifying. If one wishes to ascend, it would divide others’ destiny energy. Skyler’s death might be the key to the masked woman’s ascension. Moreover, there could be more involved, possibly Human Clan Saints might be participants.”

The Immortal Emperor’s corpse grinned strangely.

“Once reaching the Sixth Rank Saint Realm, it’s possible to glimpse into one’s destiny. Surpassing ranks with the Demon clan’s Fifth Rank power isn’t easily achieved. Skyler, who practiced the path of tides, if not obscuring heavenly secrets and calculated during his weakest moment, even two thousand Eight-winged Demons couldn’t kill him.”

“Interesting, truly interesting. If I had more than one spirit left, I’d be eager to see what’s happened above the Fifth Rank world. Could it be, while we resisted the Heavenly Path Sea, the universe has undergone such changes?”

This time, the Immortal Emperor spoke particularly much, seemingly recovering well with the Nine-lives Coffin.

Ethan felt a headache, it seems the realm of Saints is also fraught with complex relationships. Reflecting on Xeno Johnson’s resigned smile, perhaps the Sixth Rank realm also has various intense struggles.

“Immortal Emperor, with the power of our Human Clan cultivators now, how can we break this prison?”

Emily Taylor suddenly spoke up.

“In my view, it’s impossible. Daniel Wilson’s divine separation of Five Elements, the masked woman’s integration of Nine Ways, Jaquan Martinez’s fist of heaven and earth, such power during our era could break through to Sixth Rank. But now with the additional Heavenly Path Prison, perhaps one day in your cultivation you will breakthrough, but above the Saint realm has everyone under perfect surveillance. You wish to ascend and take their destiny energy; guess whether they would agree.”

The Immortal Emperor laughed as he spoke, hearing this even Emily Taylor revealed a look of desolation.

“Even in this race war, won’t the Human Clan Saints consider guiding others up?”

Ethan furrowed his brow and asked, Saints above include him as a member of the Human Clan.
