Follow the path of Dao from infancy

On the chains, Li Tian Gang and Ji Yunqing, who were desperately climbing, felt the lock plummeting rapidly and were also panicked. They burst forth with all their strength, frantically climbing upward.

Their eyes were fixed only on the island, thousands of miles away, as well as the great stele wrapped by that chain.

Although distant, their extraordinary vision allowed them to see clearly the scene in front of that great stele.

"Is that, Qingqing?"

Suddenly, Li Tian Gang saw that divine soul in front of the stele and paused for a moment, then became astonished.

Though it was just a silhouette, he could never confuse it; it was his wife whom he longed for day and night.

At the moment, his wife seemed to be confronting someone, guarding at the entwined chain above the stele.

He immediately realized that she was guarding this lifeline for him!

"Qingqing!!"

Li Tian Gang roared, climbing upwards with all his might.

On the other end, Li Hao's body shone with golden-red, and despite the astonishing suction power from the mouth of the Demon King, his movement technique was extremely swift. The journey, originally over a thousand miles, had in the blink of an eye, been reduced to just two or three hundred.

Almost there.

Li Hao's eyes blazed golden-red. Affected by the Abyssal Laws on this Abyss Sky Lock, his strength could not radiate outward, and naturally, he could not utilize his Divine Soul, but with his Divine Power and physical eyes, he could see clearly the situation hundreds of miles away.

There at the end of the winding chains, the silhouette of a woman stood guard, her body enveloped with Divine Flame, a picture of valor and vigor.

Li Hao recognized her at a glance; it was indeed his mother.

His heart trembled, and the words he had heard in infancy echoed in his mind:

"No matter what happens in the future, your mother will stand in front of you, never letting anyone harm you..."

That promise from fifteen years ago, she seemed to have kept.

With her slender body, she stood at the end of the chain!

Li Hao's eyes were slightly reddened. He let out a low growl, bursting forth with power once again and accelerated some more, rushing at full speed.

But just then, the chain behind him jerked fiercely, pulling him down harshly.

The Demon Saint seemed to have gone mad, erupting with extremely terrifying strength, the speed at which the chain was yanked increased significantly.

Li Hao felt as if he was pluming into an abyss, but in the brief moment of his stupor, he once again roared and charged out. The Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill, combined with the amplification of many legacy attributes, rushed towards the end of the chains at full speed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Demon Saint's tendrils swept and chased from behind, with Li Hao racing against the Grim Reaper.

Whilst atop Qiu Tian Dao, everyone witnessing this rapid descent was consumed by panic and despair.

"Quick, if we don't topple the Abyss Sky Stele now, it'll be too late!"

"There's no time left!!"

The rest cared for nothing else and furiously rushed at Ji Qingqing.

"Just wait, give them a little more time!"

Ji Qingqing pleaded urgently, but seeing that everyone else was heedless and rushing towards her, she had to burst forth with her Divine Soul and fight with all her might.

"Don't force me to burn out my Divine Soul and use the Dao Domain!"

One of the elders said angrily.

His body exuded an extraordinary aura; he was a master of the Grand Tao of Peace Realm. Now, by igniting a bit of his Divine Soul, he released a powerful presence.

He had been imprisoned here for so long that his power had long been depleted, which was why he had kept a low profile.

Moreover, originally charged with the grave crime of colluding with Demons to assassinate clan members and steal treasures, he preserved his life solely based on his ancestors' glory. His descendants had also been banned from visiting him, leaving him nearly drained of power over the years, with only the Strength of the Physical Body remaining.

Ji Qingqing saw the elder's enraged face and her complexion changed dramatically. If the other party really burned his Divine Soul, even if he could only unleash a momentary power of the Dao Realm, she would not be able to match him.

"Wait, just give them a little more time!"

Ji Qingqing pleaded earnestly, "Among them is the Ji Family Dao Seed, our hope for the Ji Family!"

"I don't care about any Dao Seed. Whoever wants to deny me my life, must die!"

"That's right; we're all held here already, what do we care about the Ji Family's honor or disgrace, it must be that Dao Seed that brought the Demon Saint upon us!"

The crowd shouted angrily.

Ji Qingqing's face turned pale, watching the elder's Dao Domain aura grow more vigorous, she could only bow and plead:

"Please, elders, just give them a little more time, I'm kneeling to you!"

Saying this, she knelt to the ground, knocking her forehead on the soil with a resounding thump.

"You acknowledge we're your elders, yet you want to drag us to death with you?"

"What use is kneeling? I don't want to die, move aside!!"

The crowd was furious. None accepted Ji Qingqing's plea; they only wished to save themselves, at least to fight for a chance of rebirth.

"Step aside, or else we all die together, and you won't save anyone!"

The elder's face was sullen. His Divine Soul was burning. If he really used the Dao Realm, he would also perish here, taking a stride he said:

"If you can't bear to lose this one, then we'll go topple that one. Choose one, now!"

Amidst his roaring voice, the chains trembled, Qiu Tian Dao shook violently, and the fall became even more rapid.

Ji Qingqing looked at the elder's wrathful face, and her heart seemed to twitch with tearing pain.

How could she not know that if there was any further delay, everyone might die?

But how to choose?

On one side was her husband, and on the other, her own son.

"Fine, I choose."

She stood up, her movements sluggish, trying to buy them just a little more time.

The elder, seemingly noticing her intentions, shouted angrily, "Choose fast!"

"Hurry, there's no time left!"

The others were equally agitated, pressing forward.

Ji Qingqing's face was void of color, feeling as if heavy hammers were pounding against her chest, her blood seemed to freeze.

She turned around and saw on the Abyss Sky Lock, a figure clad in golden-red rushing towards her rapidly.

The distance was less than a hundred miles now.

With her own eyes, she could see the young man's face.
