From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 167: Human Race Ancient Road Level 1, The Beginning of the Past

The real trial road is opened, which means that the ancient stars that we pass by later will have living creatures appearing and will no longer be barren.

Along the way, Si Chen actually saw planets with life and many mysterious races.

One star after another was connected by the ancient road, allowing countless sages to explore. Many ethnic groups also lived and multiplied on it, becoming a challenge along the way.

One day, Si Chen came to a planet with rich spiritual energy, ancient woods and wolf forests, which were lush and green, and where all kinds of rare birds and animals roamed. It was a rare paradise of life along the way.

This place is like a prehistoric world, with many tree species, rampant wild beasts, and countless powerful creatures.

“boom!”

The roar of the beast shook the sky, and the earth and mountains shook. A giant beast covered with black scales roared with great ferocity, waving its claws and slapping towards Si Chen, but missed.

Being attacked suddenly, Si Chen was not angry but happy. In the past few months, he finally encountered a holy beast, but it was a little weak and had just entered the holy realm.

The black giant roared like thunder, and the scales on its body clanged like a hundred thousand heavenly swords. When it saw that its attack missed, it became furious, and the laws were added to its body, and light surged from its mouth.

After Si Chen reached the semi-saint realm, it was even easier for him to deal with saints. His figure was like a dream, accompanied by the laws of time and space, and the divine chains of order glowed with rosy clouds, crystal clear, and entangled with the giant beast.

“Roar!”

The power of time and space was extremely mysterious. The space around the black giant beast was distorted, and before it could react, it was entangled by the Divine Chain of Order, and then its body shattered into several pieces.

Another black dragon pounced forward, filled with astonishing blood energy, flowing with holy power, terrifying momentum, and swift movements, even stronger than the black beast.

Si Chen fought with it in hand-to-hand combat, and after a few moves, he suppressed it. Then he found the five-colored altar here and headed to the next ancient star.

In this way, Si Chen left for more than three years, away from Ziwei, following the footsteps of his predecessors and fighting all the way.

Later on, he didn’t know where he was, because the ancient stars he passed by had no real source of life, at most they were just small worlds on dead stars.

True ancient life stars are extremely rare in the universe, perhaps only one among billions of stars, so the people in the Eternal Star Domain are so arrogant and think they are the most advanced civilization.

There were no dangers along the way as he had imagined. He pushed through them all smoothly, even when he encountered a peak saint.

During the three years, he had seen the mysterious race in the starry sky, fought against the holy spirit in the stone, and fought against the red-haired humanoid creatures. He had conquered all the way and had never been defeated.

Along the way, he left behind a legend of being undefeated, shocking many star regions. His record was so horrifying that it even spread to the ancient human race, attracting a lot of attention.

Along the way, he also met some people who embarked on the road of trials. These young geniuses who were famous in their respective ancient stars were all “persuaded to retreat” by him one by one.

“The road ahead is long and bleak, I’d better go back.”

“This person is too invincible. His path to becoming an emperor in this life is over.”

Some people came with great ambitions and left in despair. All these things made Si Chen’s reputation even more famous.

……

But the rest of the journey returned to coldness and silence, with no more living creatures. He walked for more than a year, and saw only desolate planets along the way.

It contains some insights of the ancient sages, secret techniques, and records of events, but more of them are last words and the despair of not seeing the way forward.

In addition to the footprints of predecessors, there are many tombs on the ancient road, all of which were built by people who walked the Trial Road in the past.

These geniuses were famous figures on their respective planets, but in the end they did not even make it to the first level and ended up in a hasty manner.

“The Tomb of Han Ze, the King of Light.”

Here Si Chen saw a genius from Ziwei, a generation of bright body, and a king of beheading, but he died here. There was only a tombstone, which was erected by later generations.

He sighed softly, but his determination became even stronger and unstoppable. He was determined to reach the first level of the human race.

After moving forward like this for nearly another year, Si Chen came to a starry sky shining with silver light. It was no longer a dead star. There was a stone tablet here to guide the way forward.

“It’s right in front of us.”

When he got here, he saw some people one after another and felt a kind of vitality. Finally, it was no longer uninhabited.
“Ow…”

Demonic clouds rolled and savage beasts roared. That was emitted through the divine consciousness and boiling blood, as if a group of prehistoric ferocious beasts were rushing towards them, making the starry sky tremble.

Many people riding on exotic beasts gathered from all directions. Some looked like Qilin, some looked like Qiongqi, and some were the ancient beast Pixiu. They had towering horns, thick scales, and murderous aura. It was obvious that they had experienced countless bloody battles and killed their way here.

At the same time, there was also a beautiful woman riding a phoenix, graceful and agile.

Of course, there are many people like Si Chen who walk alone.

“A few of them are okay, the others are average.” Si Chen’s eyes flashed, and he saw a few with good fighting ability among them.

Of course, to be able to get here means that they are all extremely outstanding geniuses in their respective star fields.

“is it him?”

“Yes, this special kind of Tao rhyme.”

There were also many geniuses who looked at him with fear. In the past few years, Si Chen, the “dissuader” had a great reputation. He defeated many outstanding people and made great progress all the way. It was said that such deeds had alarmed the guide, who wanted to list him as a seed-level figure.

“I wonder where this fierce man came from? What’s his physique?”

“I never believed that there really are such people in the world.”

Some people even cast awe-filled glances at him. Si Chen had an indifferent expression, with a Chaos Divine Ring surrounding him, the Milky Way washing his body, the starlight shining in the sky, and he stood under the Nine Heavens, with an endless rhyme of Tao emanating from him.

His long black hair was flying like streaks of lightning, cutting through the void and attracting the attention of the crowd. No one dared to approach him. They were all extremely wary and even terrified.

Soon, the stone tablet leading the way disappeared, and the crowd in front increased. Each of them had his own aura and pressure. One could tell at a glance that they were all heroes, and their realm was at least above the level of Zhan Dao. They were not simple people.

“The ancient city under the starry sky!” many people shouted.

I saw a magnificent city in the starry sky ahead, with a magnificent appearance. There could be sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries. It stretched under the stars and the moon, immortal for all eternity.

It is majestic and mysterious. It is not located on a planet, but hangs directly in the starry sky of the universe, receiving the baptism of stars. It is very shocking to people’s vision.

It covers a vast area, with city walls like mountains, stretching endlessly, city towers tall and magnificent, and a pair of heavy city gates closed, as if they could block the attack of thousands of troops.

“The first level of the human race’s ancient road!”

Many people were very excited. After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived here.

……

The moonlight is shining, the starlight is like a waterfall, and silvery-white galaxies are hanging down.

In front of the ancient city, all the heroes were silent, only the ferocious birds and beasts were roaring, it was extremely depressing.

It is impossible to verify when this city was built and when it originated. It seems to have existed since ancient times. It is known as the first level of the strongest trial road for the human race. There are many small ancient roads in the universe, all leading to the final trial road. This node is like a dam, unifying the paths of the human race’s strong men from all sides.

In front of the majestic city, there were more than 300 people standing, both men and women, all of them outstanding people, waiting silently.

No one is weak, and the mounts of some of them are even sanctified, dominating the area with majestic power.

“The real battle for the throne begins now! I can’t wait.” Someone still whispered.

“It is said that the first level of the human race will only be opened once every six months to five years.” A cultivator shook his head and said, “It depends on the intention of the guide.”

“What is the identity of the guide?” someone asked.

“The guide is the guardian of the first level of the human race. He controls the world and leads heroes from all directions into the city, telling them the way forward.”

Once the topic was opened, many people started discussing it to kill time and learn about the information about the Trial Road.

Some people are very familiar with the ancient path of the human race, or know something more or less.

“There will be a total of eighty-one levels from now on. Each level will have a guide, all of whom are above the level of Saint King, and some of them are Great Saints!”

“On this ancient road, in addition to the guides, there are also road protectors and law enforcers. These people must not be offended.”

“I have a piece of gossip here. It is said that if there are no top-ranked experts present, this level will not be opened, so we have to wait for five years.”

After hearing this, a cultivator looked at Si Chen carefully. Isn’t there someone present…

“Enter the customs!”

Suddenly, a divine thought came, resounding like the sound of a huge bell, shaking the bones of many people, causing their blood to rush, and they looked horrified.

The ancient city gate creaked open, feeling extremely heavy. This was a huge city standing in the starry sky, with an environment suitable for human survival.

There were not many soldiers in the city. They were all wearing armor with a cold metallic luster, with long spears splitting the sky and iron spears breaking the air. They were like a team of heavenly soldiers, staring at everyone covetously.

“What kind of soldiers are these? Why do I think they are stronger than the rest of us?”

“He was also one of the people who walked the strongest ancient trial path, several years and decades earlier than us, but he failed and stayed on this path.”

Si Chen walked forward without hesitation and was the first to pass through the city gate. The other geniuses were stunned to see how decisive he was and followed him in.

The soldiers also looked at him in surprise, because in the past, every time the city gates were opened, there would be some commotion, but this time there was no commotion.

But the necessary warnings should still be given: “No one is allowed to cause trouble here, or else they will be killed without mercy!”

The interior of the city is very magnificent, with ancient trees on both sides with lush branches and leaves. There are also many buildings, including alchemy shops, weapon shops, restaurants, inns, casinos, etc.

This is a lively ancient city, and the residents watched them pass by without any surprise.

They are the descendants of the former losers in the imperial road. Those strong men did not return to their hometown, but settled down here.

Soldiers led the way, taking them through the wide streets and arriving at the square in the center of the city.

The ground here is paved with gray-brown stone slabs. Time has left many traces on it, making it mottled and messy. There is a tall stone platform in front, and an old man appears silently.

His figure was blurry, with only a pair of eyes like golden lamps emitting terrifying divine light in the twisted void, and his aura was incomparably terrifying.

“A Saint King!”

Many people were shocked. This was only the first level, and there was a Saint King in charge.

The old man glanced at the crowd and said very quickly: “I am the guide and the lord of this city. I just want to say the following.”

“First, not everyone can continue on the journey. You should rest up. You will soon enter a trial field for selection. Only those who pass can continue on.”

“Secondly, during the period of residence in the city, no physical action is allowed. Anyone who disobeys this order will be put to death!”

Everyone originally thought that there would be a detailed explanation, but he only said two points. His words were so brief that many things were still unclear.

But the guide didn’t say much, but looked at Si Chen: “You are the seed of the ancient road, you are qualified to know more from me. If you don’t understand anything, you can come to the City Lord’s Mansion to ask me!”

After saying that, he quickly disappeared, leaving everyone confused.

“This is too irresponsible!” someone said angrily. They were all geniuses of their respective ancient stars and had extraordinary backgrounds. This was the first time they were treated like this.

But the guiding envoy had such a status, and everyone had no choice but to disperse and find a place to rest.

The ancient city suddenly became lively, the natives started doing business, shops opened, and the hustle and bustle was astonishing. It was hard to tell that this was the ancient starry road.

At night, Si Chen came to the City Lord’s Mansion. The guide changed his previous decisive attitude and became very kind. He told him a lot of information about tomorrow’s trial field.

Then a few more days passed, and in the evening, the starlight was like a waterfall, dispersing the sunset, which was very different from the scenery on the Life Star.

“The trial field will open tomorrow, everyone be prepared!”

Finally, the official news was conveyed, and every cultivator who stepped onto the Ancient Starry Sky Road felt a tremor in their hearts. It was finally about to begin.

……

Beidou, the star where emperors are buried, and the residence of rare talents in Zhongzhou.

“I didn’t expect you to come.”

The current head of Qishi Mansion looked at the young man in front of him and said in surprise: “I thought you would cultivate to become a saint before setting off.”

This is a man in his twenties, with thick black hair and wise eyes that seem to be able to see through everything. He has an awe-inspiring heroic demeanor, and the great Dao resonates with his every move.

This person is Wu Shi. He smiled and said, “Time waits for no one. There is a powerful opponent around. I must be more urgent.”

In the original novel, Wu Shi became a saint many years later before he set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road from Qi Shi Mansion, and then he pushed everything forward calmly.

But in this life, he dare not relax so much.

The Palace Master nodded, understanding something, but still said, “This is the strongest trial in history. It is a road that has caused countless heroes to shed their blood. Even three of the strongest saints died in the battle. It is extremely cruel. Even if you are extremely talented, you must be careful.”

The Qi Shi Mansion always selects the most amazing geniuses in Beidou, but throughout the ages, only three or five have survived, and the others have shed blood in foreign lands and died in battle under the starry sky.

The human race’s holy body is strong enough, even though three of them died.

“I understand.” Wu Shi already knew it and said it very straightforwardly.

Afterwards, the two of them entered the deepest secret soil of Qi Shi Mansion together. Here, Taoist patterns were densely covered and interwoven into pieces, which was extremely mysterious.

The Palace Master opened the altar, Wu Shi entered it, and then disappeared, thus embarking on the road of Beidou’s trial. (End of this chapter)
