The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 486: Breaking through the Celestial Gate
Everyone had already walked out of the Little World and stood behind Hong Xi Jiang, waiting for him to open the link between the Universe and the Celestial Realm.
Mo Lian clenched her hands, still a little nervous about having to ascend to the Celestial Realm. He knew that this war would not end beautifully, that there would be many casualties, and that perhaps his side would have more. After all, they were only hundreds of people, in contrast to the Celestial Realm which had thousands.
In fact, even though the Celestial Realm was not as prosperous as it used to be where Immortal Gods were on par with the Heavenly Bronze Tree, but they were still the supreme power in the Three Realms.
Mo Lian took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly and the look in her eyes revealed determination.
Hong Xi Jiang regulated his breathing. He raised his hand, making the space fluctuate with a terrifying strength. Lightning appeared, forcing it to destroy the space above.
Mo Lian who was standing in the back row, felt a very strong fluctuation and there was a different energy that made a rejection.
That power forced Hong Xi Jiang to retreat by half a step, until his body trembled. But, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
With a thunderous bang, the fluctuations above grew stronger and there was a shaking collision. Cracks of space sprung up, and there were faintly hot temperatures coming from below, as if the Hanzi Realm was about to merge with the Universe.
Mo Lian took a breath, she raised her head and did not see any white light like she had seen before. "Yue Mu, I've seen there are clouds there. Why didn't Yue Fu split the space directly? Isn't that faster than passing through the Celestial Gate?"
Wang Yue Fei was not in the front row and chose to stand beside Mo Lian. When he heard that, he smiled and replied, "Through the clouds it will be considered an attack and there is an impact back. But if it passes through the Celestial Gate, the Dao will not move and assume we are ascending due to his own abilities, not the assault. However, this was also because the Heavenly Bronze Tree had already weakened. If it's still strong and still controls the Dao, we won't go up."
"So ..." Mo Lian nodded her head, smiling faintly as she learned new knowledge.
Wang Yue Fei smiled. He raised his hand, rubbing Mo Lian's head gently.
Mo Lian was already used to this and never refused when getting treated like a child. In fact, his wives began to do the same, asking him to slightly bow so they could touch his head. This could be considered impolite, but he did not reject it, even feeling pleased.
Just as Mo Lian wanted to speak, suddenly a buzzing sound came from above. He looked up, looking at the energy fluctuations that forced open space.
The space opened slowly like open eyes, only everything was white. There was an emphasis coming attacking Hong Xi Jiang, and a majestic voice echoed.
“Human Emperor. Do you want to start a war with the Celestial Realm?”
Mo Lian felt familiar with the voice coming from space like an eye. He looked down, rubbed his chin and tried to remember. When he remembered, he was dumbfounded and looked up. "Dao?"
Hong Xi Jiang looked annoyed when interrupted by Dao. "If it had been before, maybe I would have been afraid of you. But it's different now."
Hong Xi Jiang turned his head. "Do you want to interfere? I don't mind eliminating the Heavenly Dao and replacing it with another Path."
The Heavenly Dao fell silent for a while, then disappeared, but left behind the words: “I will not interfere in this war. But, I'm telling you not to destroy the Celestial Realm.”
Hong Xi Jiang gave a cold snort, he raised his hand like he was hitting the sky. Destroying power gathered in his hand, darting out like a flash that bombarded the sound from above.
The white crack that opened, shook violently and let out an angry roar. But Hong Xi Jiang did not care, he opened his raised hand, then clenched it again and pulled it.
The gap opened even bigger, then there was a ray falling down shining down on all of them below.
Mo Lian was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her. He did not know that opening the connection between the Universe and the Celestial Realm in this way. In the past, he had to seclude himself for hundreds of years and tried to communicate with Dao, but in the end, he was killed.
"Go!" Hong Xi Jiang led the entourage, entering the gap that closed slowly.
Immediately, everyone rose into the crack of light.
Mo Lian followed in the back row carefully. He was still reminded of his failure to ascend to the Celestial Realm in his previous life, and it brought its own worries.
The blinding light made it hard to see. Then until an unknown time, his sight recovered.
Mo Lian blinked her eyes many times, and saw a sight she never expected.
He took a deep breath. The scenery here is very sad: a dull white hallway, high pillars that are broken and collapsed, corpses lying on the white floor with blood spots, various kinds of weapons stuck in the pillars, and the, walls and floors and bodies.
The suppressing aura came from all directions, and Mo Lian could feel the fighting spirit that was still left here.
Mo Lian closed her eyes, she could imagine how violent the fight here was and how many casualties it had taken.
Wang Yue Fei sighed heavily. "Our comrades who did not survive and could not be reincarnated. Our whole-heartedly treated pet, killed."
Hearing that, Mo Lian looked around, and indeed many beasts whose size exceeded that of a mountain were even some equal to the size of the Earth. Seeing this, he was reminded of the Secret World in Star Xiang.
"Yue Mu's. In the Human Emperor Record vault, were there any animals assigned to guard it?"
Just when Wang Yue Fei wanted to answer, suddenly came a loud bang from far ahead.
Wang Yue Fei immediately rushed forward at his full speed. Standing beside Hong Xi Jiang and smashing his palm into the air.
The orange palm of the hand shot forward. Then it struck a golden spear of equal size, the two attacks collided, causing shaking tremors, damage that destroyed walls and pillars.
Hundreds of fellow Human Emperors took action. They unleashed attacks of various sizes and shapes, even Domains to destroy the attacks of the 99,999 Steps Heavenly Road.
Mo Lian who was standing at the back, suddenly turned around while shaking her hand horizontally.
A blood-red sickle-shaped sword slash shot out, carrying a dense aura of death and oppression.
Bang out!
A loud bang came from behind, carrying a shock wave that caused dust and smoke to rise.
Then the smoke split open, revealing a gigantic golden hand that descended.
Mo Lian swung her hand vertically upwards, making the floor slightly tremble, then a blue sword stuck out, striking the golden hand and piercing through it.
The golden hand trembled slightly, like struggling to keep going down and attacking Mo Lian.
Mo Lian clenched her hands. The sword enlarged at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, then exploded and shattered the golden hand.
After crushing it, Mo Lian turned around and took another step back. He rushed along with his wives who were beside him, but after several hundred steps, suddenly gravity increased greatly and made him slow down.
Even Mo Lian slightly bowed due to the pressure she was getting. He looked up, he saw that the others had already gone so far, there was not even any difficulty when replying to the attack.
"Eject."
Mo Lian heard Hong Xi Jiang's voice in her mind. He took a deep breath, then took out the Heavenly Yin Tree.
The wind blew fiercely, a dense aura of death appeared and spread across the 99,999 Step Heavenly Road. The attacks that came from all directions, trembled and began to appear cracks on its surface.
With the arrival of the Heavenly Yin Tree, the pressure borne began to drop and made their steps lighter.
Chu Yeyu, Pan Shanyu and the others stopped stepping. Turn around and be stunned when he saw the Heavenly Yin Tree.
The black leaves that were emitting a purple aura, were falling down in the wind. When it touched the Heavenly Road 99,999 Steps, the dull white road slightly cracked and left a black trail with an uncomfortable aura.
Mo Lian attracted attention, but she didn't care. He continued running carrying his wives, chasing after Hong Xi Jiang and Wang Yue Fei who had already arrived at the end of the 99,999 Step Heavenly Road.
A moment after arriving, Mo Lian could see there were two gigantic corpses lying on the left-right of the Celestial Gate. The corpse was like a Race of Angels, and from its circumstances, it had just been killed.
The angel on the left, stuck on the wall with a sword piercing through his chest. On the left, his chest was hollow with his hands imprinted there.
The Celestial Gate itself was like a gate in general. It was gold-colored with the carvings of the Dragon and Phoenix facing each other. Then there was the crossed swords that were crushed by the Dragon and Phoenix.
Mo Lian swung her hand. The Heavenly Yin Tree trembled and dropped the leaves that moved towards the Celestial Gate.
The Celestial Gate gave a rejection, but Hong Xi Jiang and Wang Yue Fei attacked him with all their might, making him tremble violently and causing a shockwave.
As the rejection disappeared, the leaves of the Heavenly Yin Tree could move freely and cling to the Celestial Gate.
Mo Lian clenched her hands together until she made a loud bang. Then the leaves exploded, releasing a death aura that spread to form a spider web in the Dimensional Gate.
The Dimensional Gate again shook, but not because of resistance, but because the energy used to survive began to be eaten by the leaves and become nutrients for the Heavenly Yin Tree.
Until not too long ago, the entire Dimensional Gate had turned black and emitted an aura of death.
Hong Xi Jiang and Wang Yue Fei, unleashed a punch with his palm.
Boom up!
The Celestial Gate trembled slightly, then crashed into it as it turned into several pieces.
Hong Xi Jiang extended his other hand, sending out a small marbles-shaped attack.
There were no explosions or airwaves as expected, but everyone here knew it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Hong Xi Jiang waited for a while, then led everyone to enter.
Mo Lian pulled back the Heavenly Yin Tree on Hong Xi Jiang's orders. Then enter the Celestial Realm through the already destroyed Celestial Gate.
