Chapter 89: The Road to Heaven. The road to ascension, which had been silent for thousands of years, finally opened again...

"Looks like it worked." Zhao Chaoan nodded, her arms folded across her chest. She'd just wait for this to wrap up, and then she could set off. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she wasn't completely relieved.

The most difficult battle comes after this, and there is no room for failure.

Sha Ruxin had already put aside her previous shock at the possibility of someone stopping the calamity. Upon hearing this, she looked at Zhao Chaoan with a look that seemed to indicate a change in Zhao Chaoan's personality. "Don't you think this is a little too fast? Something's clearly wrong."

At this speed, even for a body with destiny, it is impossible to leap from half-step overcoming tribulation to demigod in just two or three days. It is obvious that some means were used, and it is very likely that they were not good means.

How is it possible to reach the level of God quickly without paying a price? How can such a good thing happen?

If you get something beyond your ability, you are bound to lose something else.

She thought that Zhao Chaoan didn't know about this matter, and would be anxious and try to make amends after hearing about it. After all, she has always valued Ying Bu Ran's life very much, and anything could explode at the slightest thing - unless she didn't know about this matter.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Chaoan only nodded slightly this time, looking very calm: "Yeah, I know, she told me before."

She knew very well what Ying Bu Ran had paid. It was impossible for him to reach the divine level in such a short period of time. It was very likely that he would not be able to reach this level even after practicing for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years.

They don't have that much time to waste, so there is only one way.

She borrowed strength from her future self, burned all the future of her present self, and placed all her hopes on this one time.

Anyway, for Ying Bu Ran, no matter whether she wants to do this or whether she can succeed, she has no "future", so she might as well give it a try.

If he succeeded in beheading the sky, there would still be some chance of survival - these were Ying Bu Ran's original words.

She finally chose to support Ying Bu Ran, and so did Zhao Qingxun. Zhao Qingxun even helped her, although she was very dissatisfied with the way he helped her.

Sha Ruxin shook her head in amazement, looking at Zhao Chaoan as if he were looking at some rare mission: "This is not like you. I thought you would stop her or that person from coming no matter what. Are you willing to do this?"

As expected, Sha Ruxin saw Zhao Chaoan's face darken as she wished.

"I want to stop her, but it's meaningless. The Spirit of Heaven has no means now, but this is only because He is weakened. But what if He recovers?" As Zhao Chaoan spoke, a vibration came from not far away, as if something was opening.

She looked over there and saw no movement after the vibration. She knew that this was because the Heavenly Road was still locked with chains. Although the "door" was open, the Heavenly Road still could not rise.

"Furthermore, whether that guy and I want to admit it or not, we originated from the same individual. In different worlds, our life trajectories before we met Ying Bu Ran were exactly the same. We just made different choices afterwards."

If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't agree, and Ying Bu Ran wouldn't do that either, and would find another way.

Retracting his gaze, Zhao Chaoan glanced at Sha Ruxin: "Once He recovers, who can stop Him? This is the only chance, and only she can do it now. Because she is the only one who can bear the power of the rules now."

"There doesn't seem to be much going on back here. If there's nothing else I can help with, I'll be leaving."

Zhao Chaoan looked towards the magic circle again. Qu Lingyou had fainted. Bai Zhi looked okay, but her condition was obviously not as good as before.

"Well, now that things here are completely over, you can rest assured and head to the next battlefield." Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after checking Qu Lingyou's condition and picked her up. "We won't send you off. I need to take her back for treatment now. She will probably need to retreat for a while to adjust her condition and eliminate the effects of the heavenly tribulation. I'm sorry that I won't be able to help you later."

Zhao Chaoan shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't say that, you have already done a lot, leave the rest to us."

Bai Zhi nodded, then turned her head to look at Qi Yiwen and Su Yunying who were rushing over: "You guys send the Ghost King away, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Master, don't worry. We are here. You can just focus on taking Auntie into seclusion. Leave this to us!" Su Yunying agreed. She was actually very worried about Qu Lingyou and Bai Zhi's attitudes, but now was not the time to think about that.

She had to trust her master. All she could do was try her best to do her job well so that her master could retreat without any worries.

Bai Zhi gave a few more instructions before leaving. Su Yunying and Qi Yiwen helped Zhao Chaoan find a very fast horse. After determining the place to pick up the horse, Zhao Chaoan rode away, which could more or less save some damage on the road.

Watching Zhao Chaoan leave, Sha Ruxin, who had been leaning against a tree with her arms folded across her chest, suddenly said, "I'm about to leave too. Be careful of sneak attacks, and also watch out for attacks from those whose faith has collapsed."

Su Yunying was stunned, then exclaimed: "Hey? You're leaving too?"

"Hmm, there may be places later where I need to take action, so get out of here, little thing." Sha Ruxin made a sneak attack, rubbed Su Yunying's head hard, then took two steps back with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Before Su Yunying could express her dissatisfaction, her figure had disappeared.

…

Zhao Chaoan dismounted at the agreed location and headed straight for the Heavenly Road. The closer he got, the harder the road became.

Deformed monsters appeared one after another from nowhere, rushing over to stop her from moving forward.

These monsters look like a mixture of humans, demons and monsters. Some have human heads, demon bodies and four claws of demons, while some have three heads and their bodies are pieced together in a mess.

It didn't do much damage, but it was annoying, and it slowed her down considerably. And maybe it was because of the unique position here, she couldn't summon ghost soldiers, so she had to fight alone.

It's really annoying. If I had known to get some people from the Wanxiang Sect to follow me, I wouldn't have rejected their offer of assistance.

Zhao Chaoan took some effort to reach the place where the Heavenly Road was. At a glance, she saw Ying Bu Ran and others who were rushing here at the same time. The number of monsters following them was several times that of hers.

Lin Xianzhu and Zhao Qingxun protected Ying Bu Ran and Jiang Liu Yan one in front and one behind, trying their best to reduce the frequency of their attacks.

Ying Bu Ran also saw Zhao Chaoan at a glance. She nodded to Jiang Liuyan, and the group quickly met up with Zhao Chaoan.

"The suppression of cultivation here is very strong. Although we have brought some people here, they are completely unable to enter here. Once they enter, they will lose their combat capability."

She looked behind Zhao Chaoan again, and still didn't see any human figures or ghosts.

Zhao Chaoan nodded, stabbed a monster beside him with his sword, and quickly pulled it out, blocking the other side: "I said, it's a good thing that the Wanxiang Sect didn't follow us."

After the reunion, Zhao Chaoan quickly filled in, and the three of them formed a triangle to protect the person in the middle, so that Ying Bu Ran and Jiang Liuyan could concentrate on dealing with the difficulties on the road to heaven.

Ying Bu Ran handed the Heaven-Slaying Sword to Jiang Liuyan, and used his spiritual power to mark several light spots on the chain. These were the most vulnerable parts of the chain.

Perhaps because they were unable to take care of this place now, or perhaps because they felt that they could not solve the situation, the Spirit of Heaven did not make any changes here. However, even if there were changes, it would not matter. Shen Cangwu taught her how to identify the map while giving her the blueprint.

The formation of this chain is also time-consuming and laborious. Even if it is changed, the Spirit of Heaven cannot make a big change in an instant. It can quickly deduce based on the original drawings.

The most difficult thing is that they must attack these places at the same time and make them collapse in an instant. Otherwise, after the integrity is broken, huge changes will occur, and then it will be really troublesome.

"Leave it to me." Jiang Liuyan took the sword and nodded.

She had already deduced in her mind countless times what to do. She only had one chance to strike with one sword, and she absolutely could not make any mistakes!

The light spot coincided with the position that had been rehearsed thousands of times in memory. As the sword light fell, several chains broke at the same time.

With a loud bang, the Heavenly Road finally rose slowly and extended to the sky, but it did not disappear. It sensed the desire to ascend to heaven.

At the same time, all those who had reached the peak of tribulation also felt the call from heaven, and the path to ascension that had been silent for thousands of years finally appeared again.

"It's started, let's start too." Shen Cangwu shifted his gaze from the Tongtian Road and looked at the people behind him. Mu, Yun Xiangwan, and Sinuo were all here.

There was a huge magic circle under his feet, and some people were standing around the magic circle, the highly-cultivated people from the entire sect.

They will not ascend to heaven, but they can provide Ying Bu Ran with some help within their ability from other places.

The magic circle will gather their faith and strength and pass it on to Ying Bu Ran, while also weakening the power of the Spirit of Heaven from the perspective of faith.

This is also the last thing they can do to help Ying Bu Ran.

Shen Cangwu came to the center of the magic circle and sat down: "Let's set up the formation."

The magic circle slowly swirled, gradually emitting a glow. As it did so, Ying Bu Ran, already on the Heavenly Road, seemed to sense something and paused slightly. She gazed into the distance and nodded gently.

Turning around, she saw a road with no end in sight waiting for her to climb, and four people below her were struggling hard to fight the monster.

She was going to speed up.

Ying Bu Ran didn't know how long she had been running, and she couldn't see the end. She didn't know how much longer she had to go. Just when she thought she had fallen into some trap and would never reach her destination, the road ahead suddenly began to twist and turn, gradually transforming into a ground made of clouds.

But these clouds were stained with blood, and when she looked up, she could see that the sky was also red. And in the center of her sight, the huge tumor with eyes was waiting for her.
