Heavenly Gate, ascension land.
Now within the ascension land—utterly quiet.
Everyone cultivated; immortal energies like dragons spanned heaven-earth; every cultivator drawn by Heavenly Gate entry—exerted fully; released primordial spirits; communed heaven-earth; refined immortal energies.
Entire world silent—because all cultivated; all strove. Thus—even those wishing relax—dared not.
Even newly ascended—shocked by atmosphere; soon entered cultivation state.
Ascension land—after years development; divided two camps.
One naturally Five Phoenixes lineage; other Lower Three Heavens.
Of course—compared Lower Three Heavens cultivator numbers; Five Phoenixes naturally far fewer.
After all—population base there; Lower Three Heavens cultivators from major high-martial worlds; Five Phoenixes… merely one Five Phoenixes.
Boom!
When ascension land—peculiar fluctuations surged; those closed eyes refining immortal energies opened eyes.
“Someone knocking Heavenly Gate ascending again.”
Lower Three Heavens side—someone smiled.
Now their faces—relaxed expressions.
When ascension path severed by Upper Realm—they how despairing; that period seemed heaven-earth darkened.
Now—their bodies relaxed; even minds clear; cultivation much faster.
For this newborn ascension land—they truly loved deeply.
Quiet; no strife; cultivation atmosphere so excellent.
If ascended Upper Realm—needed join Sacred Clans; intrigue ceaseless; even anytime offend some Upper Realm noble identity evildoer—cruelly slain etc…
All knew clearly—Lower Three Heavens ascenders in Upper Realm status… utterly lowly; even pigs dogs inferior.
Unless Lower Three Heavens cultivated five energies toward origin—perhaps gain Sacred Clan attention.
Now this ascension land—no intrigue; no status disparity.
Such circumstances—how not satisfied?
Ascension land—many opened eyes; slowly gazed distant.
Thousand-zhang Heavenly Gate; filled ancient aura emerged.
All curious—this ascension—who; Five Phoenixes or Lower Three Heavens?
This also rare adjustment in their dull cultivation years.
Heavenly Court ruins direction.
Overlord, Nie Changqing and others opened eyes; Demon Monkey King, Du Longyang and others recovered from cultivation state.
Five Phoenixes Heavenly Humans—all stared newly appeared Heavenly Gate.
Boom!
Thunder rolled.
Seeing thunder instant—Overlord and others lost interest; reclosed eyes.
Five Phoenixes cultivators ascend Heavenly Gate—no tribulation penalty.
Perhaps because Five Phoenixes born Nihility Heaven—thus special benefit. Thus Overlord and others merely checked Heavenly Gate surroundings thunder penalty or not—determine ascender which side.
Suddenly.
Just closed eyes Overlord and others—abruptly opened eyes.
Terrifying auras released from bodies; Overlord even stood; around body coiling black stream; mere stream—seemed collapse vast heaven-earth.
Not only Overlord.
Nie Changqing, Du Longyang and others all changed expressions.
Lower Three Heavens side cultivators—also halted cultivation.
Something happened!
Everyone’s heart thought!
Tribulation failure?
These years—many ascenders tribulation failure; they witnessed.
But this time’s eerie aura—seemed unlike tribulation failure!
Wretched screams—suddenly from beyond Heavenly Gate!
Faintly—oppressive aura transmitted through beyond Heavenly Gate!
“Damn!”
“Upper Realm unrighteous; truly sever all?!”
“This old one unwilling; unwilling ah!”
“Upper Realm since severed ascension path; why block my ascension?”
Wretched voice carried despair; sorrow; even unparalleled fury!
Echoed from beyond Heavenly Gate.
Boom!
Next—terrifying explosion born; this wretched voice abruptly ceased.
Dense bloody scent spread; shattered flesh bounced from beyond Heavenly Gate; fell ground.
Boom…
Heavenly Gate slowly closed.
Yet no one ascended in.
Dead silence.
Death-like silence!
All stared bounced in shattered flesh piece.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Overlord, Nie Changqing and other Five Phoenixes crowds—slightly furrowed brows; eyes full gravity.
Lower Three Heavens cultivators—dead stared; eyes began emerge anger; sorrow.
Even many eyes filled bloodshot.
They evidently guessed something.
After all—that ascender deathbed fury roar; still lingered ears!
Upper Realm… unrighteous ah!
That ascender—at ascension instant; actually crushed by Upper Realm expert; flesh exploded.
Too cruel; too domineering!
Too hateful!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Vast land—one after another figures streaked out; landed beside shattered flesh.
Splashed in crimson blood—so shocking.
“Seems… this new ascension land discovered by Upper Realm.”
“With Upper Realm domineering conduct; surely strangle ascension land; moreover…”
Many gazed surrounding forbidden lands.
Those forbidden land mountains; Great Emperor backs; seeming pierce primordial.
Ascension land contained Great Emperor secrets; Upper Realm surely not let go!
What to do?
When Upper Realm conquest comes—they these people; likely ruthlessly suppressed; even… slaughtered!
Many clenched fists; fury irrepressible.
“Sever our ascension path already; now even our only way out extinguish! How hateful!”
“We how? Upper Realm has Yan Four; even Yan Three high-martial; experts like forest; even supreme Sacred Ancestors guard; we how?”
“We merely ants; Upper Realm eyes crawling insects!”
One after another cultivators eyes revealed sorrow; they angry—but dared anger not speak.
“Once Nine Heavens nine realms mutually equal… why now become this? We… unwilling.”
“Since unwilling—then resist!”
Some Immortal Ascension fury burning.
In ascension land passed so many years—they how willing abandon this cultivation environment?
Rather wait Upper Realm slaughter; better unite; fight wave!
Seemed reached consensus; many cultivators gathered; primordial spirits spread; collided exchanged in void.
Then—these Lower Three Heavens ascended cultivators; like dark clouds rolling; streaked toward Heavenly Court ruins area.
Overlord unleashed terrifying aura.
Nie Changqing, Du Longyang and others coldly confronted.
Demon Monkey King held iron staff; stood up; gaze blazing.
Five Phoenixes many cultivators; stood together; auras continuous; watching Lower Three Heavens cultivators; momentum like rainbow coming—they also unite.
Yet puzzling Overlord and others.
These people not come fight.
…
Upper Realm; vast land.
Utterly unrest.
Dao Clan and Cloud Clan—two Upper Realm Sacred Clans learning new ascension land emerged—faintly great waves surging.
“This Heavenly Gate emergence—equivalent challenging our Upper Realm authority!”
Expert slowly spoke; vast voice shook entire heaven-earth.
“Dispatch troops conquer; shatter this Heavenly Gate; seize this ascension land…”
“This Heavenly Gate emergence; likely tied ancient Emperors disappearance reason; also tied Nihility Heaven soon emerging many ancient imperial weapons!”
One after another voices immensely majestic; constantly discussed.
Ultimately—two clans Sacred Ancestors viewed Heavenly Gate projection images; both vast wills descended; issued conquest order.
Thus Cloud Clan and Dao Clan jointly discussed conquering newly emerged Heavenly Gate.
Of course—this news they sealed.
Not let other ancient Sacred Clans know; after all this Heavenly Gate seemed involve ancient Emperor secrets; Cloud Clan and Dao Clan planned swallow this secret together.
Boom boom boom!
Vast Upper Realm continent began rise fall.
Cloud Clan and Dao Clan prepared conquer Lower Realms; orders issued; turned lights streaking.
Countless cultivators from Upper Realm mountains rivers lakes closed cultivation; opened eyes.
Thus this time not conquer Nihility Heaven; all dispatched Dao, Cloud two clans experts extremely strong.
Five energies toward origin experts led; Unity, Tribulation, Immortal Transformation cultivators in groups; even Immortal Ascension experts spanned.
Such might—Lower Three Heavens any heaven; unable contend.
Yet mere days; two clans conquest armies from torn Upper Realm continent; riding ancient warships slowly descended Yuan Magnetic Heaven.
Boom boom boom!
Mighty terrifying auras spread.
Yuan Magnetic Heaven; many high-martial worlds trembled.
Even Yan Five—facing this Upper Realm conquest army no resistance.
How fight?
Such army—annihilate Yuan Magnetic Heaven more than enough!
Boom!
Warships spanned.
Like dreadful flood slowly from end emerged.
In this conquest army center; one warship slowly sailed.
Within warship.
Cloud Clan divine son gorgeous armor; eyes blazing.
Reentering Lower Three Heavens; killing intent sharp; ever colder.
Though suffered in Nihility Heaven; seemed vent all losses in Lower Three Heavens.
Warships mercilessly crushed worlds—all Cloud Clan divine son’s intent.
Ye Bei sat opposite divine son; this time represented Dao Clan.
Conquest army descended Yuan Magnetic Heaven days; yet completely no Heavenly Gate trace; unable enter ascension land.
Made divine son’s face ever gloomier.
Because prior matters; left bad impression on Sacred Ancestor; thus this time must perform best; recover Sacred Ancestor image.
“Brother Ye Bei—you first discovered this Heavenly Gate; any way traction it?”
Cloud Clan divine son gazed Ye Bei; seeming smile non-smile asked.
Ye Bei cultivating mastering “Travel” Array Word; glanced divine son; then closed eyes again.
Though not Dao Clan divine son; but mastered “Travel” Array Word; status and position not much weaker divine son; moreover purely cultivation—far stronger than this Cloud Clan divine son!
He heard this Cloud Clan divine son; hammered into meat paste by Five Phoenixes Lu Ping’an in Cloud Clan imperial weapon; made him ever more look down on this divine son.
“Wait.”
Ye Bei glanced divine son; closed eyes; calmly said.
Cloud Clan divine son furrowed brows: “Wait what?”
“Wait Lower Three Heavens someone knock Heavenly Gate ascend.”
Ye Bei impatiently opened eyes—this guy how like fool.
This trip; Ye Bei originally unwilling come; because facing Lu Ping’an; “Travel” Array Word always failed; heart very insecure.
Yet clan expert named him; hard refuse.
Thus heart extremely irritated.
Wait someone ascend?
Cloud Clan divine son narrowed eyes.
Stood; alone exited.
Boom!
Yuan Magnetic Heaven; one Yan Six high-martial outer.
Warships rose fell.
Divine son hands clasped; stood deck; armor bloomed brilliant divine light.
Divine son assigned one Immortal Ascension descended; terrifying aura spread; made this world beings tremble.
“Emerge.”
This Immortal Ascension superior spoke.
Words fallen.
Horizon end—one figure rapidly shot out.
One Immortal Transformation rapidly arrived; gaze fear; but… more hidden fury.
“Tractions Heavenly Gate; Cloud Clan divine son grant you Upper Realm entry opportunity.”
This Immortal Ascension spoke.
Traction Heavenly Gate?
This Immortal Transformation; precisely Lower Three Heavens few unascended Immortal Transformation.
Because unstable cultivation; dared not rashly traction Heavenly Gate; feared thunder tribulation disaster.
This person soon understood Upper Realm experts’ purpose.
Clenched fists; eyes fury surged.
This make him traction Heavenly Gate; so Upper Realm army attack Heavenly Gate; seize ascension land!
Upper Realm ruthless severed ascension path; completely disregarded them.
Now new ascension land emerged; became Lower Three Heavens cultivators hope.
Upper Realm wished crush this hope.
“Old one cultivation unrefined; insufficient traction Heavenly Gate.”
This Immortal Transformation calmed mind; shook head; refused.
Upper Realm Immortal Ascension expert narrowed eyes.
“Refuse?”
Boom!
Coiling immortal energies around body spread; seeming collapse skies; ruthlessly smashed down.
Pfft!
Yan Six high-martial Immortal Transformation instantly thunder-struck; constantly retreated.
“Divine son command… you dare defy?”
“Divine son orders you; immediately traction Heavenly Gate!”
Cold voice lingered; even mighty aura released.
Yet this Immortal Transformation smiled; neither servile nor overbearing.
“Old one; cultivation unrefined; pardon unable comply!”
Bang!
Words just fallen.
Dreadful aura from skies dropped.
Pfft!
Golden long spear; carried unavoidable dreadful aura; pierced this Immortal Transformation.
This Immortal Transformation coughed blood; eyes burned flame-like light.
“Wish destroy our Lower Three Heavens hope gate! Dream!”
Suspended this high-martial world outer divine son coldly snorted.
Abruptly clenched fist.
Mighty energy spread.
Bang!
Long spear reversed shot back; stained blood.
That Immortal Transformation; long exploded into minced flesh; body dead Dao vanished.
“Good stubborn old thing…”
Divine son eyes coldly ruthless.
“Order down; slaughter this world all beings.”
“Stubborn; pay price for stubborn.”
Divine son ordered; Immortal Ascension received.
Yet Ye Bei exited cabin; stopped.
“No needless slaughter; Sacred Ancestor said Lower Three Heavens operation own reason… slaughter Yan Five; if cause Yuan Magnetic Heaven collapse; Sacred Ancestor fury you bear not.”
Ye Bei said.
Cloud Clan divine son coldly stared Ye Bei; two gazes collided.
Cloud Clan divine son coldly smiled; waved; still canceled order.
“I disbelieve… all Lower Three Heavens Immortal Transformation so unyielding.”
…
Origin Lake; central island.
Gentle breeze blew; whipped Lu’s flying hair.
Spiritual Pressure Chessboard—black white pieces constantly scattered; seeming no rule; yet hidden mysteries.
Furrowed brows; seeming deduce game.
Lu rolled sleeves; pinched white piece; placed in seeming roaring game great dragon interval.
Suddenly.
Seemed sense something.
Lu smiled; lips slightly curled.
From chess box; again pinched black piece.
Abruptly placed.
Killing intent soaring.
Tap!
Piece placed.
Game roaring great dragon; instantly seemed waist-severed.
