Chapter 316 Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Gate

When Gu Mo arrived at the shore of Tian Sheng Lake with Gu Chu Dong and Hong Yi, the scene before them was like the end of the world.

Tian Sheng Lake is like a giant boiling cauldron, with a violent hurricane whipping up hundreds of huge waterspouts that roar straight into the sky, connecting with the low-hanging, rolling, thick dark clouds, like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth.

A deafening thunderclap boomed in the clouds, and pale lightning bolts tore through the dark sky, each flash illuminating the terrifying scene of surging, turbulent waves below.

The water levels of the several major rivers connected to Tian Sheng Lake are rising rapidly at a visible speed. The turbid river water carries broken logs and rocks, making a deep and terrifying roar as it violently crashes against the banks, and the earth trembles slightly.

The air was thick with moisture and a chilling aura of destruction.

"The grand formation has been activated! At the bottom of the lake!" the woman in red said.

"You wait here, I'll go down and take a look."

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Mo unleashed his aura, hurtling towards the raging lake center like a meteorite crashing to earth. Although he did not deliberately activate the Dragon God Technique, his inherent dragon characteristics made him indistinguishable in water from those on land. Wherever he passed, the surging water was forcibly parted to create a channel.

Sinking into the dark, icy bottom of the lake, I fully opened my mind, like the most precise probe scanning every inch of the lakebed.

Soon, a crack that was frantically swallowing the lake water appeared in my perception, and the powerful suction even began to distort the surrounding water flow.

Gu Mo's figure flashed, and he rushed into the crevice without hesitation.

Beneath the crack lies an underground palace on the verge of collapse.

The icy lake water was pouring in from all directions, creating a deafening roar.

Countless intricately suspended array plates emitted a piercing buzz, their light flickering like dying stars.

The entire underground palace was groaning and twisting, with rubble constantly falling from the top and the water level rising rapidly.

Gu Mo spotted Tie Tou immediately, along with a dozen other people. These people were behaving strangely; despite being nearly submerged, they seemed oblivious and continued to repair the magic array.

"Puppetry!"

Gu Mo could tell at a glance that their consciousness had been controlled.

Immediately,

Gu Mo then walked to Tie Tou and the others, using his primordial spirit power to split into threads, which precisely pierced into their sea of ​​consciousness. The Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique activated, and those spiritual imprints were instantly and forcefully stripped away and shattered, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun!
"Ugh..."

Tie Tou was the first to grunt, his empty eyes instantly regaining their clarity. He was then horrified by the scene before him, his face turning deathly pale. "Master Gu... Master Gu!"

"go!"

Gu Mo let out a low shout, and his powerful internal energy formed a soft protective shield that instantly enveloped all the weapon forgers who had just broken free of control.

With one hand he lifted the still somewhat dazed Iron Head, and with the other hand he unleashed a powerful burst of energy that swept up the others, transforming them into a dazzling stream of light that, against the surging, backflowing lake water, forcefully broke through the dome of the underground palace and escaped that vortex of destruction!
"Crack-!"

Gu Mo led everyone out of the water and landed steadily on the mountain.

The wind howled, making it almost impossible for people to stand.

Looking out, Tian Sheng Lake resembles a primordial beast that has broken free from its restraints, with the water level rising at an alarming rate. The connecting river is raging with turbulent waves, roaring and crashing against the dam. Huge rocks groan under the weight of the crashing waves, and cracks are visibly spreading out.

Tie Tou was still a bit dazed, but seeing the riot at Tian Sheng Lake, he quickly said, "Master Gu, that person... he activated a large array. I don't know what kind of array it is. We've been controlled and are working for him. That array connects the entire lake to several major rivers..."
It now seems that person intends to divert several rivers to converge here. The lake's dam cannot withstand it; once it collapses, the entire city of Qingyang will likely be submerged..."

"I know, don't panic."

Gu Mo waved his hand, took a step, and flew directly towards the dam.

At this moment,
Gu Chudong and Hongyi, who were on the other side of the mountain, also flew over quickly.

"Brother, can you break that formation?" Gu Chudong asked.

Gu Mo said, "It can be broken, but it won't be very meaningful. It will only hinder Wang Qingping's ascension. As for the water, the flow of those rivers has already been altered. Even if the formation is broken, the river water will still flow this way."

Gu Chudong said, "It would be a good thing if the Destroyer Qingping ascended to heaven!"

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"What do you mean?" Gu Chudong asked, puzzled.

The woman in red standing to the side said, "The master's intention is probably to use Wang Qingping's ascension to meet Tianmen, and at the same time, to find Bai Yujing."

“That’s right,” Gu Mo said. “I’ve always suspected that something was wrong with the ascension. It’s not just the inner demons; there’s also a problem with the Heavenly Gate. However, the Heavenly Gate has been hiding from me, and I haven’t been able to find it. Today is a good opportunity to take a look.”

Furthermore, Wang Qingping is completely unaware that Bai Yujing's restriction exists within his primordial spirit. According to Bai Yujing's restrictions, once someone ascends, Bai Yujing will appear to pull them back to the mortal realm. I can take this opportunity to both visit the Heavenly Gate and find Bai Yujing.”

Gu Chudong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I suddenly feel so sorry for Wang Qingping. There's something wrong with Tianmen, Bai Yujing is going to take him away to erase his consciousness and restrict him, and now you're going to kill him. Tsk tsk tsk, he's practically broken the heavenly law!"

Gu Mo sneered and said, "One hundred and sixty years ago, in order to use the power of the earth's veins to seal himself, he caused a great flood, resulting in widespread death and destruction. Today, in order to ascend to immortality, he is repeating the same trick. It is no exaggeration to say that he has violated the heavenly laws."

As he spoke, Gu Mo stepped to the edge of the dam. Facing the raging flood that was about to breach the dam, he took a deep breath, and his boundless, icy true energy circulated wildly within him, drawing upon the most yin and cold source energy in the world.

"seal up!"

Gu Mo slammed his palm down on the embankment beneath his feet!

"Om-!"

A terrifying chill, visible to the naked eye, erupted instantly from the center of his palm, like a silvery-white frost tidal wave.

Wherever the chill passed, the surging lake water crashing against the dam made a piercing "crackling" sound and froze instantly.

A wall of ice, several meters thick and as hard as steel, rose up instantly along the dam like the ramparts of a mythical ice giant. As the lake water roared and rose, the ice wall simultaneously frantically condensed and grew upwards. The contest between ice and water created a breathtaking spectacle in front of the dam—on one side, a raging, surging flood behemoth, and on the other, a towering ice crystal Great Wall exuding an ancient chill.

In a very short time,
Gu Mo single-handedly built a defensive wall, preventing the dam from collapsing and a flood from breaking out.

Gu Chudong frowned and said, "But this is not a long-term solution. You can't stay here forever!"

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "After we finish dealing with things here, we'll notify the government to quickly dig ditches to drain the water. I can release the water slowly on my side, and on the other side, we can also ask professionals to design and restore the flow of those rivers. It shouldn't cause too much of a problem."

at this time,

Boom, a loud noise.

A bolt of unimaginably thick purple lightning tore through the sky and struck the whirlpool in the center of the lake with pinpoint accuracy. Then, a second, a third... countless terrifying bolts of lightning, imbued with the aura of destruction and rebirth, lashed out at the same spot like the lashes of a god.

At the heart of the thunderous storm, a blurry figure rose rapidly—it was Wang Qingping!
His eyes were tightly closed, his face contorted with unimaginable pain, but the aura emanating from his body was rising and transforming wildly under the tempering of the lightning.

His body trembled violently amidst the lightning, his skin cracking inch by inch, yet it rapidly healed and regenerated under the immense energy.

A phantom, exactly like him but more refined, pure, and radiating immortal brilliance, was struggling to emerge from the top of his head!

"Hoh... Ahhh—!"

With a roar that seemed to come from the deepest part of the soul, the phantom finally broke free from the shackles of the physical body!
At this moment, Wang Qingping's primordial spirit completely solidified, radiating a dazzling light, as clear and translucent as a piece of glass and jade, while her physical body rapidly fell into the lake.

He hovered above the thunder and raging waves, his body shimmering with light and auspicious energy. A powerful and ethereal aura, belonging to the "immortals," swept across the heavens and earth!
"I did it! Hahaha! I did it, I did it!"

Wang Qingping's primordial spirit roared to the sky, full of vigor and seemingly insane.

He felt an irresistible force drawing him out of the mortal realm.

He lowered his head, his gaze piercing through the storm, precisely locking onto the small yet undeniably powerful figure on the embankment—Gu Mo.

A mocking and gleeful smile curled at the corners of his lips. His primordial spirit trembled, and his voice, clear and distinct, pierced through the wind and thunder, reaching Gu Mo's ears: "Gu Mo! Do you see? This is ascension! All the mortal worldly troubles are but fleeting clouds! I'll be waiting for you to ascend in the Heavenly Realm. I hope that you'll still have some of the arrogance you have today, and don't disappoint me! Hahahaha!"

Before he finished speaking, his brilliant primordial spirit was no longer under control. It transformed into a stream of light and did not simply ascend upwards. Instead, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant hand, instantly crossing the barrier of space and rapidly flying towards a certain mysterious node in the heavens.

"Tianmen, Tianmen, come see me!"

Wang Qingping's hysterical roar was like a thunderclap, her entire being brimming with high spirits. At the same time, the immense water elemental power accumulated by Tian Sheng Lake and several great rivers, guided by the final ascension formation, transformed into a gigantic, azure pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, shooting straight into the sky!

boom--!
The sky seemed to have been pierced by the beam of light and the power of the primordial spirit, creating a huge hole!

Endless dark clouds spun wildly, forming a terrifying vortex that covered the entire sky.

At the center of the vortex, the lightning and thunder suddenly subsided, replaced by a strange sight that brought both tranquility and profound awe.

Seven-colored rays of light cascaded down from the center of the vortex like a waterfall, illuminating the dim world. Celestial music played softly, faint and ethereal, as if it came from the ages.

Countless golden runes flowed and faded in the rosy light, outlining a huge, solemn, and eternally immortal phantom of the Heavenly Gate!
The heavenly gate was made of pure energy, its doors tightly shut, and it was engraved with mysterious and unfathomable patterns, as if it contained the ultimate secrets of the universe.

Its mere phantom appearance softened the energy of the entire world, seemingly calming the raging flood for a moment. A grand, sacred, and transcendent aura permeated the air.

"Heavenly Gate! It's the Heavenly Gate! Hahahaha! I, Wang Qingping, knock on the Heavenly Gate today!!"

Bathed in the seven-colored glow, Wang Qingping's spirit was so excited that she was almost frantic. With boundless joy and anticipation, she rushed towards the sacred and solemn phantom of the Heavenly Gate without hesitation, like a pilgrim rushing towards his final destination.

He reached out his hand and reverently knocked on the gleaming door.

Om-!
The Heavenly Gate opened as if to be knocked, and he rushed inside.

However, after passing through the light curtain, he was terrified, because the perfect heavenly realm he had imagined, with its ethereal atmosphere, magnificent palaces, and flying cranes, did not appear.

The moment the door swung open, an indescribable, cold, chaotic, viscous aura, filled with endless madness and malice, surged out like a tangible torrent of filth, instantly staining the sacred glow with an eerie darkness!

Behind the door lies not the realm of immortals.

It was a dark void that defied description, twisted and writhing, and in the center of that darkness, hovered a gigantic, bloodshot, pale eye that was so large that it blocked the entire view of the Heavenly Gate!

The eye was enormous, its pupil seemingly swirling with countless shattered stars and frenzied fragments of souls, flowing with a viscous, pus-like, dark yellow substance. Even more chilling was the sight of countless slippery, pale tentacles covered in suckers and bizarre patterns emerging instantly from the dark void surrounding the giant eye.

These tentacles twisted and writhed, emitting a nauseating stench and a terrifying pressure that could freeze the soul.

As if they had been waiting for a long time, they greedily and thirstily swarmed towards Wang Qingping's primordial spirit, which had just rushed into the Heavenly Gate.

"No—!! What the hell is this?!"

Wang Qingping's ecstasy instantly turned into boundless fear and a desperate roar. The brilliant radiance of his primordial spirit seemed so small and fragile before these giant eyes and tentacles. He struggled frantically, unleashing all the power of his Ascension Realm primordial spirit in an attempt to break free, but to no avail. Instead, he was dragged forward.

At this critical moment!
A terrifying pulling force suddenly came from behind him. The source of this force was very unfamiliar, as if ropes had suddenly emerged from his body. It was extremely domineering and wanted to pull him back to the human world. It actually snapped several of the most tightly wrapped tentacles!
In a daze,

He saw a restriction deep within his primordial spirit.

It was a scent I had almost forgotten.

"Bai Yujing?!"

Wang Qingping seized this only glimmer of hope amidst despair.

If it were before this,

He learned that Bai Yujing had placed a restriction on his primordial spirit. He wanted to hate Bai Yujing to death, but at this moment, he was extremely grateful. He immediately followed the power of Bai Yujing's restriction and used his primordial spirit power to pull and break several tentacles.

However, the giant eye seemed to be enraged.

More tentacles, like endless nightmare serpents, surged wildly from the darkness, layer upon layer, coiling around you. Severed tentacles spurted disgusting slime, yet instantly regenerated.
Although Bai Yujing's restrictive force was strong, it could not completely pull him back from this terrifying abyss!

"Roar--!"

The giant eye emitted a silent yet terrifying roar that shook the very soul, and more tentacles wrapped and tightened, trying to drag Wang Qingping completely into that eternal abyss of madness.

The Heavenly Gate began to close, to shut out this blasphemous scene.

Just as the Heavenly Gate was about to completely close, and Wang Qingping's primordial spirit was about to be completely devoured!
laugh--!
A flash of light!
A blade of light, blazing with demonic flames and cleaving through the chaotic light, appeared without warning!
It did not come from within the Heavenly Gate, but from... the human world!
From beyond the soon-to-close Heavenly Gate!

That strike was filled with the purest destruction and domineering demonic power in the world. The pitch-black demonic energy surged like a tangible raging tide, and wherever the blade passed, space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.

"break!"

With a chilling decree, the demonic blade, seemingly capable of severing eternity, slammed down upon the Heavenly Gate, which was about to close completely!

click-

A loud cracking sound!

The sacred heavenly gate, forged from light and symbolizing eternity and immortality, was actually cleaved open by this single blade from the mortal realm... leaving a massive crack burning with pitch-black demonic flames!
"hiss--!"

The giant eye behind the door let out a painful and furious hiss.

The countless tentacles that had been binding Wang Qingping instantly broke and melted upon contact with that domineering and unparalleled demonic sword intent, like ice and snow thrown into a furnace! The binding force suddenly loosened.

Seizing this one in ten thousand opportunity, Wang Qingping activated her primordial spirit power, transforming into a dim stream of light, and flew backward in a sorry state from the crack cleaved open by the demonic blade.

Still shaken, his very spirit felt ethereal and unstable. He looked out of the crack, relieved to have survived the ordeal.

But I saw

Gu Mo stood before the cleaved Heavenly Gate, holding a long sword engulfed in raging flames.

He was surrounded by demonic energy, like a demon god returning from the deepest hell. His cold gaze pierced through the cracks, staring directly at the twisted, writhing darkness behind the door and the terrifying giant eye.

Clearly, the earth-shattering strike that cleaved the heavens and severed the evil god's tentacles just now was delivered by him!
At this moment, clearly reflected in Gu Mo's eyes, which seemed to see through all illusions:
Above Wang Qingping's primordial spirit, there was a "thread" connecting her to Bai Yujing, and...

Beyond the Heavenly Gate lies a terrifying giant eye filled with chaos, madness, and greed, and deep within that eye lies an ancient and evil mark composed of countless twisted runes.

"So this is the Heavenly Gate!"

……

"Gu Mo!"

At this moment, Wang Qingping was filled with panic. Behind him lay the eerie Heavenly Gate, and in front of him was Gu Mo, who could harm it—he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He quickly shouted, "We have no mortal grudge! Let's join forces to deal with that monster! I..."

"There's no need for that."

Gu Mo reached out, and streams of demonic energy shot through the air like chains. This was a martial art he had modified from the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Style. In an instant, it bound Wang Qingping, and the demonic energy seeped into his primordial spirit.

Wang Qingping roared, "Gu Mo, are you crazy? That monster is Tianmen! Tianmen! Even now, you're still doing this? Do you want us all to die together? Do you still think you can take on that monster by yourself?"

“Why not?” Gu Mo said.

Wang Qingping cursed, "Who the hell do you think you are? What are you? That's the Heavenly Gate, which has existed since ancient times. You think you're so great? You think you can take it on by yourself? Why don't you say it would run away at the mere sight of you? You..."

"bang"

Just then, the Heavenly Gate closed.

The lintel that Gu Mo had cleaved was still swinging back and forth when Tianmen transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

clean,

neat,

Not at all muddle-headed.

Wang Qingping: "??"
