After Ye Ling and the others fought with Tian Ming, they went straight to hiding in the depths of the mountains to recuperate, hibernating for a full ten years.

After ten years, the Octoterra Divine Region was extremely calm, and no one showed up in front of the people. As for the several forbidden zones, they were all waiting for the day the gates of heaven to open.

The tightly shut Heaven Gate finally opened wide, and all twenty-three recognized people moved out. Ye Ling and a few others were gathered in the air above the ocean.

For example, Nie Hun wholeheartedly wanted to become an immortal, so he was not fated to enter the Heaven Gate. On the other hand, the Nether Abyss Lord had a special identity and had always been rejected by the Heaven Gate, but her son Jiu Li, on the other hand, received Qi Fu's acknowledgement.

The twenty-three young experts gathered in front of the Heaven Gate. Qi Fu stood in front of them and waited quietly for the Heaven Gate to open.

The expressions of Ye Ling and the others were heavy, the people who were chosen to be part of the four forbidden zone were all travelling companions, and only Ling Tian and Jiu Li were left alone without help.

The Heaven Gate opened slowly, and an auspicious sign filled its interior. A terrifying aura filled the air. Everyone's expressions were grave, and the Qi and blood in their bodies seethed.

Whoosh!

Within the opened gate, a flight of stairs actually appeared, directly reaching into the skies above. Clouds and mist covered the skies, filling the air with a mysterious and strange feeling.

Qi Fu turned around, and with his eyes turned to look at everyone else, he said, "With the Heaven Gate open, anyone who wants to enter can enter the Heaven Gate, but life and death are decided by fate. If they want to go against heaven's will, they can only rely on whether or not you have the ability!"

After Qi Fu finished speaking, he immediately retreated, clearing a path for everyone, and allowing everyone to enter the Heaven Gate.

Ye Ling and Emperor Huang's expressions were solemn, each of them choosing to stay put. How could it be easy to enter the Heaven Gate?

Indeed, in the 23rd level, there were some people who couldn't wait and instantly entered the Gate of Heaven. When he stepped onto the stairs, he suddenly saw that person standing there, frozen in place.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the person who had entered the Heaven Gate was in a bad situation, everyone tensed up and stared at the person inside, curiosity and confusion appearing in their hearts.

"AHH!"

Just as everyone felt their hearts become heavy and inconceivable, the person who suddenly stepped onto the stairs let out a miserable cry. His entire body was enveloped in white light and was quickly melting. In a short moment, he became a pool of blood and died miserably within the Heaven Gate.

"This!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically as they sucked in a breath of cold air. Their faces were as pale as paper as they stared at the gates of heaven with wide eyes. They were all frightened and no one dared to step in.

Qi Fu smiled, he seemed to be extremely calm and collected, and it was easy to enter the Heaven Gate, but if one wanted to step onto the Heavenly Road, it was not as easy as they imagined.

Ye Ling frowned, he turned and looked at Emperor Huang, the two nodded slightly, then walked out, bringing Blood Demon and the others directly into the Heaven Gate.

"Is he not afraid of death?"

Amongst the crowd, Mu Ling saw that Ye Ling and the others were bearing the brunt of the attack, and frowned. The man she scolded, actually dared to enter the Heaven Gate, this made her curious.

Ne Qin's face paled, but she was extremely nervous in her heart. She stared straight at Ye Ling, deeply afraid that something bad would happen to Ye Ling, and she had completely not considered it for herself at all.

Ling Tian sneered, he stared at Ye Ling and the others as they stepped into the Heaven Gate, and thought to himself: "If he cannot enter the Heaven Gate, who else can?"

Not only was Ling Tian suspicious, Jiu Li who was in the crowd also believed that Ye Ling and the others could do it, but at the moment, he was not completely confident, so he naturally did not dare act rashly.

When the sword tip came out, it had used its own energy to help Jian Qiu defend against the external force. However, it was sweating profusely, and its expression was extremely solemn.

Ye Ling wanted to resist for Feng Yu, but Feng Yu rejected him immediately. With a determined look in his eyes, he clenched his teeth and followed closely behind Ye Ling.

After a while, Ye Ling and the rest arrived at the stairs, their expressions were gloomy, but Emperor Huang was the first one to step on it, walking up step by step.

Emperor Huang's expression was cold, but a light flashed past his eyes, seeing that his steps were extremely light and without any obstruction, Ye Ling followed closely behind.

Weng! *

Ye Ling's expression congealed, and after pondering for a moment, he took another step forward, and since the power in his body had increased by a bit, Ye Ling could not help but feel that it was very strange.

"Try to experience that power well. Every step you take, that power will increase by a bit. If you can persevere up to the clouds, then your cultivation will have a breakthrough that will be able to soar."

Just as Ye Ling was confused, Emperor Huang's voice suddenly came out in his mind. Ye Ling, who knew about the secret of the stairs, finally knew why the person who died in the stair died so miserably.

It turned out that stepping into the stairs would lead to the introduction of a mysterious power that would hibernate within the body. As one continued to advance forward, the power would increase, and if one went too fast, it would cause the aura within the body to become unstable, eventually turning into a pool of blood and causing one's bones to shatter.

After clarifying all of this, Ye Ling looked up ahead and saw that Emperor Huang had long since gotten close to the clouds, leaving him far behind.

"Step by step, don't be too hasty!" Ye Ling retracted his gaze, turned around and reminded Feng Yu and the others. Following that, he quickly advanced, and as if he was flying, he became at ease with every step.

"How is this possible?"

"They are actually safe and sound?"

Outside the Heaven Gate, those people who were waiting to see Ye Ling make a fool of himself were actually all surprised. Seeing that Ye Ling and the others were already on the stairs, there was nothing abnormal about them, which caused their hearts to be unable to calm down.

Ling Tian frowned, and walked towards the Heaven Gate. Seeing that Emperor Huang and Emperor Huang were alright, he was naturally not worried.

Following Ling Tian into the Heaven Gate, Jiu Li also walked over. Even after the few of them had entered the Heaven Gate, there were still nothing abnormal with them.

Bang bang!

Rushing into the crowd of the Gate of Heaven, he was too impatient because he did not have a good grasp of the rules, but he was killed on the spot, with his corpse intact.

Seeing that someone had died miserably, the anxious crowd couldn't help but slow their steps as they walked forward step by step. It was only when Ye Ling and the others finally disappeared that they were close to the top of the clouds.

Outside the Heaven Gate.

Lord of the Forbidden Zone Nie Hun's expression was solemn as he stared at her daughter Ne Qin within the Gate of Heaven. He was actually unable to calm down as he said in his heart, "I hope that Ye Ling is not too heartless."

As the various Lord of the Forbidden Zone s gazed at the gates of heaven, Qi Fu, who was standing right in front of the gates of heaven, smiled and swept his gaze over the Lord of the Forbidden Zone s, saying, "Does anyone want to enter the gates of heaven?"

In the face of Qi Fu's inquiry, the faces of all the Lord of the Forbidden Zone s darkened, and they all left with a flick of their sleeves. On the other hand, Nether Abyss Lord Tian Ming had a gloomy and cold expression on his face, as the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, and he said, "We will meet again!"

After he finished speaking, Tian Ming immediately turned around and left. After that, his Heaven Gate slowly closed, Qi Fu shook his head and sighed, he glanced at the surrounding ocean area, and suddenly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the Gate of Heaven in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Heaven Gate …

Ye Ling and the rest successfully climbed onto the Cloud Dipper, only to see that the entire area was empty, the sky was extremely gloomy, and in front of them was a field of desolation, the cold wind was bone-piercing, and the wind was as sharp as knives.

There was no path in front of them. The dead trees formed a forest, and the bones formed a pair. Those who died were all experts that entered the Heaven Gate and died here.

"What is this place?"

"Look at this godforsaken place, how do we find the entrance to the Nine Dragons Sky Domain?"

Blood Demon looked around. It felt as if this place was a land of death. No one could be seen, and sand filled the desert, filling the air with an aura of decay.

"This should be the rumored" Sky Path Realm "!"

After hearing Blood Demon's question, Jian Feng opened his mouth to reply. He had also heard about it and hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't be sure.

"That's right!"

"This place is also a world, but because it has been eliminated by the Heavenly Dao and has been abandoned from the Primal Chaos, it became the only path that leads to the Nine Dragons Sky Domain. That's why it is called the" Sky Path Realm "."

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Huang led the way and stepped into the desert. The biting cold astral wind made everyone suffer, only Emperor Huang and Ye Ling who had strong bodies were not afraid of the eroding astral wind.

In a short period of time, Huan Xiong and Feng Yu were both covered in injuries. Due to the special physique of the Blood Demon, they were not overly miserable, so with Jian Qiu being protected by his grandfather's sword, it was naturally the easiest.

After passing through the desert, they entered a dead forest. A strong decaying smell entered their nostrils. There were piles of bones in the forest, and swords and sabers could be seen everywhere. It was as if this place had gone through a merciless battle.

Along the way, Ye Ling and the others were shocked, it was as though many pairs of eyes were staring at them from the darkness. When they passed through the endless dark forest, they saw a city in front of them.

The city was in ruins, but there were shadows on top of the city walls. In front of the closed city gate, there were two men wearing armor, wearing iron helmets, holding onto long black hair, and riding on iron mounts. They stood on both sides of the city gate to guard the city like gods guarding the gate.

Their expressions were cold and their faces were as black as charcoal. The aura emitted from their bodies had actually reached the ninth level of the Deity Creation Stage, their strength was extraordinary, and the aura they emitted was extremely terrifying.

Ye Ling and the others who were near the city gate could not help but take in a breath of cold air when they saw the awe-inspiring presence of the two.

The city in front of them was called "Wu Heng", it was the first barrier that led to Nine Dragons Sky Domain, and also the first fortress that guarded this place.
