Gate of God

It happened in an instant.

Lin Mubai paled when he witnessed the scene. He had no idea what happened, though he knew exactly how powerful Cang Yue was.

Ping Yang?

Lin Mubai quickly noticed Ping Yang, who was standing beside Fang Zhengzhi. There were not many injuries on her body, though she looked extremely pale.

What exactly happened?

Why would Cang Yue appear?

Questions flashed through Lin Mubai’s mind though he had no time to consider them. This was because Cang Yue had already reached Yan Qianli.

Boom! A rumbling sound could be heard.

The next moment, the crimson brilliance exploded, engulfing everyone in the bloody red mist. However, there was a spot of light shimmering within.

Following which, more of them appeared...

In the end, they became the star of the show, forming a small milky way in the middle of the crimson mist. Countless stars flowed along the milky way, heading towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Yan Qianli then vomited a mouthful of blood.

He was already weak from the fight against King Xieluo. The blow he suffered from Cang Yue was simply too much for him to bear.

His body flew backward involuntarily.

Wu Yuer took action as well. She was just about to take her hands off her waist when the heavens were suddenly illuminated.

Dawn seemed to have descended.

It was the brilliance of a lightning bolt.

Countless lightning then rained down from the skies, landing behind Wu Yuer. The sinister purple light rushed into the horizon as the thunder rumbled and danced to its own symphony.

"Dragon!" A voice rose.

It was a cold and harsh voice. As this voice rang, a murderous intent rose from the spot behind Wu Yuer.

"Slayer!" The voice rang again soon after.

Wu Yuer’s body tensed up. She knew exactly who was speaking. In fact, everyone else knew as well.

It was Fang Zhengzhi.

The Dragon Slayer Slash!

Just half an hour ago, the same voice and the same lightning had defeated the Demon King Xieluo, leaving only a Demon Pearl in his wake.

The legendary voice had rung once again. This time around, the opponent was a woman, a woman who had the two characters Ling Yun on her chest.

"Slash!"

The third voice quickly emerged as the purple light that rushed into the horizon fell steadily onto the ground, just like how the woman had maneuvered herself to daintily on the trail of mist. It looked extremely slow, though it was actually traveling at an insane speed. It collided with the milky way with a murderous intent.

There was no deafening blast this time around.

This was because sound seemed to have disappeared from the earth. The sound of the torrential rain and rumbling thunder vanished in an instant.

The only thing left was the two intertwining brilliance.

A concentrated purple light and a milky way formed from countless glimmering stars.

Crack! The ground cracked open as many gravels were pulverized into smithereens. The rain seemed to have stopped falling, hanging so precariously in the air.

Wu Yuer then slowly turned her body around as she stared at the figure behind her, as well as his crystal-clear eyes.

Ping Yang was also looking at the same pair of eyes.

There were no emotions in his gaze. However, they could feel a peculiar presence from it, a presence that showcased the thoughts of a man.

It could be termed as responsibility.

Fang Zhengzhi then vomited a mouthful of blood into the center of the intertwining brilliance. His blood was immediately vaporized into a white mist.

However, Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of retreating. He cast his gaze on the milky way as he gritted his teeth. His hands did not show signs of trembling as he gripped his sword with confidence and vigor.

Cang Yue’s body gave a slight jerk before a trail of blood emerged from the side of her lips. She stared at Fang Zhengzhi in shock.

This was her first time meeting Fang Zhengzhi.

However, this was not the first time she heard of him. He had already made his name in the entire world, though it did not leave much of an impression on her.

The prodigy from the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Double Dragon Roll Champion from the Imperial Examinations, Law od Dao Examinations and Prefectural Examinations as well as the architect behind the Battle of the Southern Region. Alas, all these achievements were not significant enough to leave an impression on her.

But now...

She would remember him.

Fang Zhengzhi, a young teenager not older than 18 years old, had managed to injure her in a fight. Furthermore, these were internal injuries.

Despite the fact that these injuries meant nothing to her, she would still remember him.

It was a shame though. Fang Zhengzhi was doomed to disappear from the face of this earth. Even if he had not displayed his prowess, he would have to.

Why then, should she conserve her powers?

"Die!" Cang Yue hollered as countless stars surrounded her body once again. The stars the converged and merged with the milky way.

The space in the area seemed to rumble.

In that instant, the stars within the milky way flowed at a faster rate. If the milky way previously was merely a wide river, it had now turned into a boundless ocean.

Countless stars charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"No!" Ping Yang shuddered. A brilliance flashed across her eyes, illuminating her lifeless pupils.

It was merely a small brilliance, though it shone exceptionally bright in the night.

At the same time, she pouched towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Again?" Fang Zhengzhi’s lips twitched uncomfortably. He was starting to get used to Ping Yang’s irrational actions.

If not for the dangerous circumstances, he would have kicked her away without any hesitation. However, he had no time to do any superfluous actions.

Of course...

Ping Yang did not burden him this time around.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi could clearly feel the stars getting closer to him. He had no way of defending against them this time around.

Cang Yue, Ling Yun!

He had heard about the two words, Ling Yun, in the distant past. That’ right, it was probably the new gate the old guy was talking about.

"Fang Zhengzhi, do you know how the world outside of the Great Xia Dynasty looks like?"

The Heavenly Oasis Saint had a thick beard. If not for his wise and godly appearance, Fang Zhengzhi might not have had the patience to sit down and listen to him.

"Another Dynasty or Empire?" Fang Zhengzhi probed.

"You are right!" The Heavenly Oasis Saint nodded in satisfaction.

"Old guy, are you ill?"

"What are you talking about. Why not you go around and ask about my reputation? Although I am not the strongest in terms of power, I am definitely the strongest in terms of alchemy amongst the four sages!"

"Oh, is that what you want to tell me?"

"This is only a part of it. Do you know what other empires lie outside of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"The Holy Barbarian Empire, Radiant Moon Empire, and the War Pinnacle Empire. That’s all."

"Hm, that is both correct and wrong. Let’s skip this for now. Do you know which Empire the Shadow Sect belongs to?"

"Neither."

"Correct!"

"Old guy, you called me here just to boast that you are the best in Alchemy among the four sages and that the power of the Shadow Sect has successfully infiltrated all four empires. Am I right?"

"That’s right!"

"Can I swear?"

"Of course, but you’d better do it behind my back. Make sure that I cannot hear you."

"Damn you old guy, how are you so free!"

"You brat, I am still considered to be half your savior. Not only would you not become my disciple and enter the Shadow Sect, you even dare to curse at me! You will lose all your comrades if you continue on like this."

"Bye, I will be leaving."

"Wait a minute, you brat. Although the Shadow Sect has powers over the four Empires, we are not the strongest power in the world. You still have to be careful when you go out."

"Careful of what?"

"You must have heard of Heavenly Dao Pavilion. You should know what it means if a person has the two characters, Tian Dao, in front of their chest. Apart from that, there are a few others you should remember."

"What are they?"

"Ling Yun, Yin Yang, Fu Yi, Jiu Ding!"

"Okay!"

"Hey, brat! Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. You must remember them. The one you have to be most wary of is... Hey, I am not finished! This concerns the path you have in front of you, your new gate!"

"New gate?" Fang Zhengzhi pouted as he said. He had already sat through too many of these brainwashing sessions.

In fact, ever since he was brought to the Shadow Sect by Wu Yuer, the Heavenly Oasis Saint would find any reason to showcase his prowess.

He would boast about the wealth and connections of the Shadow Sect and even bring a treasure trove of expensive artifacts to showcase to Fang Zhengzhi.

His motive was clear.

He wanted Fang Zhengzhi to join the Shadow Sect for real.

Fang Zhengzhi could not understand this part. Ever since he entered the Shadow Sect, he had been helping them achieve their dreams of becoming a business empire.

But the old guy still seemed unsatisfied.

More importantly, the old guy would never reveal what lay behind the new gate. It was as though he would be infringing on something beyond that.

Although he would still nag incessantly every single day.

"Join the Shadow Sect, my child. As long as you join us, the new gate will open for you. You will be exposed to a colorful and exhilarating new world. You will be able to see fishes that fly and dogs that crawl on the seabed..."
