Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 973: Depressed Fang Ping

As Emperor Ji watched the several Heaven-Sealing Gates gradually closing, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had to destroy the Primordial Martial World before the gates completely closed; otherwise, if he was dragged out for too long, he would be in a very passive position.

The towering giant stretched out his hand, and countless streams of primordial energy gathered, forming a long sword in his hand that looked nine-tenths similar to the Human Emperor's Sword.

He roared and swung his longsword fiercely...

"Zheng!"

A condensed and compressed sword beam, only a few meters long, pierced through the gaps left by the four gates at an extremely fast speed, slashing fiercely towards the primordial martial world outside.

"boom!"

The silver sword light exploded immediately after slicing into the chaotic airflow, and its violent power swept outwards in all directions...

Instantly, a rift was torn open in the primordial martial world, and countless energies surged in, not only making the rift even larger, but also significantly impacting the four Heaven-Sealing Gates in front, making them even more illusory.

None of the four Heaven-Sealing Gates were completely closed. Even with Zhang Haoran and Fang Ping pouring in their primordial energy at any cost, they could only close one-fifth of them in this short time, which was not enough to stop the energy from flowing in.

After receiving this energy, the giant's size increased several times, and the longsword in its hand also grew larger.

Now that a gap has been torn open in the Martial World, the source amplification has been restored, and it will take some time for the opponent to repair the gap.

He targeted several of the Gates that sealed the heavens.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

A barrage of sword beams rained down on the nearest gate.

That was the Heaven-Sealing Gate that Fang Ping had created by exchanging countless amounts of primordial energy; it was one of the two most solid gates.

However, it still appeared very fragile under the giant's attack. In just a few breaths, it was cut down to the point of collapse. The left door panel was completely shattered, and rebuilding it would require a large amount of primal energy.

Fang Ping immediately sensed something was wrong, because the opponent's destructive speed was not much slower than that of destroying the previous Heaven-Sealing Gate.

It should be noted that the amount of primordial energy he expended was several times that of the Heavenly Emperor, yet it was still easily destroyed by the opponent. This indicates that the opponent knew the weakness of the Heavenly Gate and was attacking its weakness.

Fang Ping immediately transmitted his voice to the others: "Something's not right! The sword energy the opponent is unleashing hasn't gotten stronger, but it's destroying things much faster."

It should be that every sword strike hits the weakness. Is the emperor really that powerful, able to see through the truth at a glance?

Or perhaps they've been observing Emperor Fengtian all these years and have already cracked his secret technique.

"impossible!"

Emperor Fengtian immediately denied it, saying, "The Fengtian Technique, which I created over countless years, cannot be learned just by looking at it."

Moreover, the method of sealing the heavens was not created in the last few thousand years.

When I began creating this secret technique, the Heavenly Court had not yet been destroyed. At that time, I was serving by the side of the Emperor of Destruction, and even emperors dared not casually spy on me.

Fang Ping retorted, unconvinced, "That's not necessarily true. You established Fengtian Island and took on so many disciples to help you gather fortune."

Perhaps there's a traitor here who will reveal your Heaven-Sealing Technique.

Emperor Fengtian shook his head again and said, "That's even more impossible. I have left a spiritual clone on each of my disciples. Even if they betray me, they will not have the chance to pass on the secret technique."

Fang Ping curled his lip in disdain, thinking to himself, "Damn! You actually have the nerve to say something like installing surveillance cameras on your own disciple."

These old fogies actually used their own disciples as tools in their pursuit of enlightenment. They're really cold-blooded. I need to stay away from people like that in the future.

However, now is not the time to look down on the other person's character.

Fang Ping asked uncertainly, "Could it be that the Emperor also thinks your Heaven-Sealing Technique is really amazing and has been spying on you from the Ninth Heaven?"
Did you secretly learn it while you were teaching your disciples or while they were practicing?
I think that's very likely. Those guys aren't just old silver coins, they're also peeping tom!
Those patrol officers are able to monitor the three realms, so they must have some means or special tools.

If an emperor were to use this method to spy on someone, that person would basically have no secrets left.

Yes! Old Zhang is the most qualified to speak on this matter of peeping.

"If you don't believe me, ask him if he could learn the secret techniques of a martial artist two realms lower than himself by spying on them."

Zhang Tao glared at Fang Ping, annoyed. How could he just blurt out such things? There was an outsider here.

However, due to the restrictions of the contract, Emperor Fengtian could only be considered a half-outsider. Zhang Tao also knew that now was not the time to dwell on such matters; determining the other party's method to break the Heavenly Sealing Gate was the most important thing.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The Emperor's spiritual power exceeds 10 Hz, resulting in a second qualitative change. He should be much stronger than us."

If they focus on investigating someone two realms lower than themselves, they might indeed be able to steal secret techniques.

However, I think that's unlikely. What emperor would be so bored as to focus on one person for thousands of years?

Fang Ping retorted, unconvinced, "Emperors certainly wouldn't waste thousands of years just to learn a secret technique, but they can use clones!"

I've heard that the emperor's clone, housed in a divine artifact, possesses the power to break through the ninth level. If they truly believe the Heaven-Sealing Technique is important, sending a clone to steal its knowledge isn't unusual!

Emperor Fengtian glanced at Fang Ping indifferently and said, "This possibility is unlikely. Fengtian Island is protected by a great formation, and my disciples and I rarely go out."

Moreover, you two who have broken through to the seventh level don't understand that at the level of supreme powerhouses, whether you are being schemed against or secretly spied on, you will sense it.

This is a warning from the Great Dao itself, one that even an emperor cannot ignore.

Emperor Fengtian confidently said, "Unless it is the true form of an emperor descending to the mortal realm and observing from the shadows."

Otherwise, separated by nine heavens, it would be absolutely impossible to see through the island's protective formation.

If they were truly capable, they should know what was happening inside the Spirit Emperor's Palace, and wouldn't have sent these inspectors down to their deaths.

"How did you learn the Heaven-Sealing Technique? Perhaps the Emperor used the same method."

"hehe!"

Fang Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "Perhaps the treacherous Emperor Ji has some means to see through weaknesses, and it wasn't leaked from our side."

He didn't want to reveal the secret of Zhang Tao's teachings on the Great Dao, nor did he want to betray Gong Yu Zhenren, who might be the only disciple the other party had overlooked.

"Stop guessing! I just observed that the treacherous Emperor Ji is indeed attacking weaknesses, but that doesn't necessarily require learning a secret technique."

Zhang Haoran, however, remained calm and said, "Don't make a fuss. I expected that the treacherous emperor Ji could break the Heaven-Sealing Technique, which is why I had so many people use it together."

He broke through one of the Heaven-Sealing Gates, so we'll just add another one. It's just stalling for time anyway; I don't really expect to seal off his fundamental Dao.

Then, he looked at Emperor Fengtian and asked, "Your secret technique was created based on the Void Gate, wasn't it?"
Even if it's not a complete imitation, it at least borrows some of the principles. The overall structure seems pretty much the same to me.

Emperor Fengtian did not deny that the inspiration for creating the Fengtian Law did indeed come from the Primordial Martial World and the Void Gate.

He combined the two and made some optimizations, but the structure of the Heavenly Gate is indeed similar to that of the Void Gate.

At this moment, Fang Ping suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, all the illusory gates are derived from the true gates, and their structures are roughly the same."

Furthermore, the treacherous Emperor Ji has been guarding the Gate of Qi and Blood. He observes the true gate every day and knows its structure inside and out. Our Gate of Sealing Heaven is just a replica, so it's not surprising that the other side was able to find the weakness so quickly.

So he knew so much about it; no wonder he destroyed it so quickly.

Zhang Haoran added: "In fact, the treacherous emperor Ji doesn't need to observe the Qi and Blood Gate every day."

Don't forget, the four True Gates were all crafted jointly by the emperors. They were originally things they themselves had refined, so naturally they knew them very well.

"hehe!"

The Heavenly King chuckled and said, "No matter how fast he destroys things, it's useless!"

Even if all the Heaven-Sealing Gates were destroyed, would he dare to rush out and destroy the Primordial Martial World now?
Aren't you afraid that the original body will be locked outside?
It's just a ranged attack, so the damage isn't great and it can be repaired quickly.

As long as the Primordial Martial World still exists, it can reduce the amplification of his origin.

"We're currently outnumbering him, constantly creating the Heaven-Sealing Gate to buy time. There are still so many powerful figures outside joining the siege. With his source power constantly decreasing, he definitely won't be able to hold out for long."

"Feng! Haven't you recovered after all this time?"

Although the group was communicating quickly using mental energy, quite a bit of time still passed.

At this moment, the giant had completely shattered Fang Ping's Heaven-Sealing Gate and began attacking Zhang Tao's gate; it had only taken a dozen or so breaths.

It has to be said that once you understand the structure of the Gate of Heaven, destroying it would be incredibly easy.

But just as the King of Zhen Tian said, they didn't really intend to seal off the other party's original path; they were just stalling for time. That gave them many more options.

For example, the structure of the Heavenly Gate could be altered, or the defenses in certain areas could be strengthened to make it more resilient and harder to break.

Emperor Fengtian was only stunned and didn't react when he heard everyone's analysis. In fact, the Fengtian technique has no cooldown time and will not suffer any backlash if it is destroyed.

He can continue whenever he wants.

Emperor Fengtian gritted his teeth and said, "My secret technique is not so easy to break!"

The next moment, another enormous Heaven-Sealing Gate was erected in the original location. Although the Human Emperor Era had completely destroyed the Heaven-Sealing Gate, the primordial energy was still there. Using it as a coordinate, it would be simpler to build the Heaven-Sealing Gate, and the primordial energy that had not yet spread could be utilized, reducing consumption.

The appearance of the Heavenly Gate has changed this time; it is no longer as tall as before.

The resulting gateways are not as clear as they used to be.

As the creator of this secret technique, Fengtian Emperor could still alter some of its structure.

He had been observing the giant and made some adjustments to the structure at the point where the sword energy struck.

We can't say for sure that this gate to heaven is unbreakable, but it's impossible to launch a weak attack now.

The giant was clearly very intelligent. He did not immediately attack the strange-looking Gate of Heaven, but instead attacked the several portals behind it. This was unavoidable; if those portals were not broken down soon, the gate would be completely sealed.

Once a complete portal is formed, breaking it will become exponentially more difficult, and even if he knows the weakness, he will waste much more time.

Moreover, he could tell at a glance that Emperor Fengtian had changed the structure of the secret technique, and some of its original weaknesses no longer existed, making it much more difficult for him to destroy it.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages; a secret method requires countless experiments to be perfected.

Temporarily altering the structure will make the Heaven-Sealing Gate unstable, requiring more time to completely seal it.

Boom boom boom!
One by one, the gates that sealed the heavens were broken, then rebuilt, only to be broken again, in an endless cycle.

This meant the giants had very little time to destroy the primordial world; they could only attack occasionally and release some energy.

Both the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly King remained calm. One of them was the creator of the Heavenly Sealing Technique, and he usually paid great attention to accumulating his original energy. He had a very strong foundation and did not care about this little bit of consumption.

Moreover, knowing full well that the opponent would break through, not much primordial energy was injected into each of the Heaven-Sealing Gates.

He kept changing the structure of the secret technique to make it more robust. Whether it could be completely sealed in the end was no longer important!
He refused to believe that the other side would dare to ignore a gate that sealed the heavens standing there.

Furthermore, he can utilize the remaining primordial energy, greatly reducing consumption.

Therefore, he can still afford such a drain.

The Heavenly King of Zhen was also very calm. He was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years and owned a planet formed entirely of primordial soil. The primordial energy he had accumulated was even more than that of the Heavenly Emperor of Fengtian, so he naturally did not care about this little bit of consumption.

Zhang Tao remained very calm.

Although he doesn't have the same substantial wealth as the two of them, he has the fruits of his faith!

The power of faith is a panacea; it can be completely converted into primordial energy.

The current consumption is just a drop in the ocean for Zhang Tao. The primordial energy transformed from a single crystal of faith is enough for him to erect several Gates of Heaven.

Therefore, Zhang Tao didn't care about this little bit of energy expenditure.

Zhang Haoran remained even calmer. Although his system couldn't exchange for Origin Qi, his first clone already had very high privileges. He could have as much Origin Qi as he wanted, and a single replenishment would be enough for him to use for a long time.

The inability to quickly construct a complete Heaven-Sealing Gate is due to the insufficient energy output speed of this secret technique, not a lack of primordial energy.

Fang Ping's expression grew increasingly serious, with a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes from time to time.

His source energy was obtained by exchanging wealth points. At first, he didn't feel anything, but if he continued to consume it like this, he really couldn't take it anymore.

Fang Ping is petty and values ​​wealth very much.

Back then, Teacher Song Yingji only deducted one credit's worth of processing fees, but Fang Ping held a grudge against her for several years. Every time they met, he would start to hurt her deeply, almost forcing Teacher Song to live in a cave.

The Emperor caused him to lose so much wealth; how could Fang Ping not seek revenge?
Fang Ping always reaped considerable benefits in every battle he participated in, and he had never suffered such a great loss before.
