If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Zero Ancient Gate opened its eyes.

The entire folding corridor fell silent at the same time.

Above the door frame.

The old face slowly turned its eyes, its gaze passing through the Extreme Star Gate and landing on Lin Yuan on the deck of the Starbreaker.

It is not a projection.

It is not a remnant soul residing on the door.

With each breath that face took, the entire ancient gate would rise and fall in response.

The left door frame is made of bone.

There is blood on the right side of the door frame.

Beneath the lintel, dark patterns intertwine like veins.

Pei Xuanmen truly forged his body into the Zero Ancient Gate.

He is not a gatekeeper.

He is the door.

"People and doors."

"Want to eat together?"

Gu Men's lips slowly parted.

The sound traveled tens of thousands of miles and came from the other end of the Extreme Star Gate.

"The Gate Swallower".

"If you really dare to swallow it."

"I will let you eat it."

click -

The stone crack in the center of the No. 0 ancient gate slowly opened a crack.

There were no door bugs behind the door.

There are no bronze goalkeepers.

There was also no figure of the sect leader, so enormous that it was impossible to see clearly.

There was only deep darkness.

But the moment that darkness appeared.

The white lock pattern on Lin Xiaoya's forehead suddenly lit up.

Her face suddenly turned pale.

"elder brother."

"We can't let it open."

Lin Yuan looked through the crack in the door.

"What's inside?"

"Not the sect leader."

Lin Xiaoya closed her eyes.

In the white dreamscape, countless black lines hang behind the No. 0 ancient gate.

Those black lines did not connect directly to the sect leader.

Instead, they were all tangled in a blurry human figure.

The figure was pinned to the deepest part behind the door.

The limbs, spine, and skull were all pierced by ancient chains.

He is like a living lock.

Using his own body, he blocked the true core of the Zero Ancient Gate.

There's still one person inside.

Lin Xiaoya's voice was very soft.

"He's locking the door."

Gu Changye, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.

"The third survivor."

Seventy-six years ago.

The three people who survived the Zero Gate Sealing Operation.

Pei Xuanmen.

Shen Guishan.

And a person whose name was completely erased from all records.

Pei Xuanmen cast himself into a door frame.

Shen Guishan was trained to have closed-door access.

The last person was nailed behind the door, becoming the true lock cylinder of the Zero Ancient Door.

Gu Changye quickly understood Pei Xuanmen's purpose.

"He made you swallow it on purpose."

Zhou Xuanheng looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Pei Xuanmen is the door frame."

"The third survivor is the door lock."

Gu Changye's face was pale, but he spoke very quickly.

"If Lin Yuan directly swallows the door frame, the outer structure of the Zero Ancient Door will collapse."

"The lock cylinder has lost its support."

"The door will open by itself."

"At that time, the sect leader will not need twelve live anchors."

"This ancient door itself will become a complete passage."

A smile appeared on the aged face on the No. 0 ancient gate.

"You read very quickly."

"pity."

"It's too late."

The gap in the door continued to widen.

One inch.

Two inches.

Pei Xuanmen doesn't need Lin Yuan to completely devour the ancient sect.

As long as Lin Yuan's Extreme Dao Star Gate continues to connect with the Zero Ancient Gate, the most basic cross-domain relationship has already been formed between the two gates.

It can actively disintegrate the door frame.

This exposes the lock cylinder behind the door.

Simultaneously.

Using the Extreme Path Star Gate as a real-world exit.

"The Gate Swallower".

"Didn't you come to see the sect leader?"

"I will pave the way for you."

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on both sides of the No. 0 Ancient Gate.

It wasn't Lin Yuan who attacked.

It was Pei Xuanmen who was actively dismantling his true form.

Pieces of ancient stone skin peeled off the door frame.

What's exposed inside isn't stone.

Instead, it was pitch-black bones.

The door frame is collapsing.

The gap in the door is getting wider and wider.

Deep within the folded corridor.

Countless dark streams surged out from behind the doors.

They did not rush towards the blood shadow.

Instead, they all rushed towards the Extreme Star Gate.

Pei Xuanmen wanted to use Lin Yuan's own gate to enter the Broken Star Ship.

Qin Zhu stepped forward.

His aura fully erupted in the later stages of his enfeoffment.

"Close the stargate!"

Zhou Xuanheng also raised his hands.

The silver-black star-patterned chains coiled around the dark gold door frame.

"Disconnect the coordinates first!"

Lin Yuan did not move.

The Extreme Star Gate remains open.

Zhou Xuanheng's face darkened.

"If we don't shut it down soon, the gate surge will directly enter the Extreme Starfield!"

Lin Yuan watched as the Zero Ancient Gate began to disintegrate on its own.

"It's off."

"The path left by Gu Changye is gone."

Gu Changye said:

"We can always find another way."

"Can't find it."

The dark golden starry sky in Lin Yuan's eyes slowly rotated.

The outer layer of the No. 0 Ancient Gate is actively disintegrating.

Once the Extreme Star Gate is closed, Pei Xuan Sect will immediately sink the remaining corridors completely behind the gate.

At that time.

The third survivor will die.

The Zero Gate will still open.

The only difference is that the exit is no longer the Starbreaker.

Pei Xuanmen can continue searching for other real-world coordinates.

This road is dangerous now.

But it was also their only chance to directly encounter the Zero Ancient Gate.

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

The pitch-black ring, recently reconstructed by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace, appeared in his palm.

The core of the twelve-ring gate array control.

Upon seeing the ring, Pei Xuanmen's smile faded slightly.

"You think that by seizing the control core, you can manipulate the Twelve Rings Gate Array?"

"Insufficient live anchors".

"The formation will not work."

"Who said I was going to activate the formation?"

Lin Yuan clasped his five fingers together.

The pitch-black ring suddenly flipped over.

The twelve anchor points that were originally pointing outwards are now all facing the Zero Ancient Gate.

The purpose of the gate array was to allow twelve powerful individuals in reality to jointly bear the cross-domain pressure of the sect master's arrival.

Twelve live anchors surround a main gate.

But now.

Lin Yuan reversed the entire structure.

Twelve anchor points, no longer nailed to the human world.

Instead, they all nailed to the same door.

"You intend to lock me up with twelve rings?"

Pei Xuanmen's voice suddenly turned deep.

"There are no twelve live anchors."

"What are you going to use to hold the door frame in place?"

At Lin Yuan's feet.

The Dark Gold Starfield unfolded silently.

Twelve dark gold stars lit up sequentially along the edge of the star field.

The first one.

Originating from the Extreme Star Body.

The second one.

From the Extreme Star Soul.

The third one.

From the Extreme Blood Shadow Soul Core.

The remaining nine star points do not have a true power core.

Each of them carries a trail of access permissions locked behind the gate by the Extreme Star Soul.

Bronze Goalkeeper.

First anchor.

Second anchor.

A phantom image of the main gate.

The sect leader pointed to the shadow.

The main gate of the Third Ring Road.

Seven-gate cage.

Folded corridor.

And the control permissions of the twelve rings that were just swallowed into the Star Furnace.

These things have already been swallowed.

However, the structures that once existed were completely recorded by the Extreme Star Soul.

Lin Yuan doesn't need twelve living people.

He only needs twelve authorized coordinates that can be recognized by the gate array.

Dark gold starlight rapidly illuminated the ring.

The first anchor line passes through the Extreme Star Gate.

Nailed to the left door frame of the No. 0 ancient door.

Next up was the second course.

The third way.

Twelve dark gold anchor lines fell simultaneously!

boom--!

The Zero Ancient Gate, which was actively collapsing, suddenly shuddered.

The cracks on the door frame surface stopped.

The door gap, which had already widened to three feet, was forcibly stopped in place.

Pei Xuanmen's aged face suddenly twisted in pain.

"Fake credentials!"

"How can something you've swallowed continue to serve as an anchor point?"

Lin Yuandao:

"I ate it."

"It's mine."

The twelve rings reversed.

The door will not be opened again.

Instead, they locked the door.

The dark gold ring spun rapidly in the Extreme Star Domain.

Each rotation.

A layer of dark gold chains will appear around the outer perimeter of the No. 0 Ancient Gate.

First layer of lock frame.

The second layer of lock seam.

The third layer locks the fusion structure between Pei Xuanmen and Gumen.

Pei Xuanmen finally realized what Lin Yuan really wanted to do.

Lin Yuan was not prepared to directly swallow the Zero Ancient Gate.

He wanted to peel Pei Xuanmen off the door frame.

The outer shell of the ancient gate has been preserved.

Retain the lock cylinder behind the door.

It only swallows people.

Immovable Gate.

"Blood Shadow!"

Pei Xuanmen let out a low shout.

It was not a summoning of Lin Yuan's clone.

Instead, he ordered the remaining dark gate tide in the corridor to surround and kill the Extreme Path Blood Shadow.

Hundreds of afterimages emerged from behind the doors of the collapsed corridor.

Blood Shadow shielded Gu Changye with one hand.

The remaining seven arms simultaneously blasted outwards.

Dark gold fist imprints swept across.

The dozens of door shadows at the very front exploded on the spot.

The number of visitors is too large.

Gu Changye's injuries were extremely severe.

Blood Shadow was unable to fully unleash his power.

Lin Yuan glanced at Gu Changye.

"Bring him back."

Blood Shadow did not hesitate.

The core of his soul throbbed violently in his chest.

The eight arms were brought together.

He completely protected Gu Changye in the center of the dark gold body.

He then stepped into the Extreme Star Gate.

Pei Xuanmen immediately urged his men to give chase.

Hundreds of dark figures rushed toward the crack in the door at the same time.

But after Blood Shadow entered.

The Extreme Star Gate was not closed.

Lin Yuan instead took a step forward.

The eight arms of the main body, the Eight Asura Body, simultaneously reached into the doorway.

Four arms caught Gu Changye.

He was handed over to Zhou Xuanheng.

The remaining four arms spanned tens of thousands of miles, gripping the door frames on both sides of the No. 0 ancient gate.

Blood Shadow reappeared in front of the ancient gate.

One door, two ends.

The main body has four arms grasping the left side.

Blood Shadow Eight Arms grabs the right side.

Twelve dark gold arms simultaneously pierced through the gap where Pei Xuanmen and Gumen merged.

Pei Xuanmen's face contorted violently.

"I have long been one with the Zero Gate!"

"You can't peel it open!"

The dark golden starry sky in Lin Yuan's eyes was fully revealed.

A person is a person.

A door is a door.

Even after seventy-six years of integration.

The permission paths of the two are still different.

Pei Xuanmen's consciousness flowed along the meridians of the door frame.

The access to the Zero Ancient Gate always revolves around the lock cylinder behind the door.

All we need to do is find the gap between the two trajectories.

Then it can be torn open.

The Extreme Star Soul quickly locked onto it.

The third suture in the left door frame.

The seventh bloodstain on the right door frame.

The center of the old face above the doorway, between the eyebrows.

Three fusion nodes.

Lin Yuan exerted force with all four arms simultaneously.

Blood Shadow Eight Arms grabbed the door frame from the other side.

Dark gold star patterns spread along all the seams.

"Disassemble the left side first."

Click—!

A dull cracking sound came from the left side of the ancient door frame number zero.

It's not that the main body of the ancient gate broke.

Instead, it was a jet-black spine that Pei Xuanmen had cast inside the door frame, which was forcibly pulled out of the stone wall.

That spine was tens of feet long.

It was covered with countless human faces.

Each face corresponds to a human gatekeeper he swallowed into the gate.

The moment the spine leaves the door frame.

Hundreds of faces opened their eyes simultaneously.

It emitted a piercing, shrill whistle.

Pei Xuanmen screamed in agony for the first time.

"No--!"

Blood Shadow's eight arms embraced the pitch-black spine.

The ultimate soul core is locked in contamination.

It was suddenly thrust towards the other end of the Extreme Path Star Gate.

Lin Yuan caught it with all four arms.

The Ultimate Star Furnace opened with a roar.

swallow!

[Contact with Pei Xuanmen's true spine]

[Detected the origin of the fusion of seventy-six years of human beings]

[In the process of stripping away the main body permissions of the Zero Ancient Gate]

[In the process of peeling away the remnants of the human souls that have been devoured]

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 1117000]

The pitch-black spine rapidly disintegrated.

The remnant souls that had been suppressed for decades were not directly crushed.

Instead, it was peeled away from the gate patterns one by one by the Extreme Star Soul.

They cannot be resurrected.

Not even a complete consciousness was left behind.

But at least.

It's no longer just a face on the door frame of Pei Xuan Sect.

[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 1122000]

To the left of the No. 0 ancient gate.

A crack appeared running through that aged face.

Pei Xuanmen's left eye detached from the door frame.

They fell into the corridor.

Upon landing, it transformed into a small, pitch-black door that was constantly struggling.

Blood Shadow stomped down.

boom!

The small door was blown to pieces.

Pei Xuanmen's screams echoed throughout the mezzanine.

"The Gate Swallower!"

"You think leaving the door frame will protect the lock cylinder?"

The remaining right eye of the ancient gate face suddenly opened wide.

Behind the door gap.

The figure pierced by countless chains suddenly moved.

His head slowly rose.

It didn't wake up on its own.

It was Pei Xuanmen who was controlling the chains.

Lin Xiaoya's expression changed drastically.

"He's going to kill the person who locked the door!"

As long as the lock cylinder behind the door is dead.

Even if Lin Yuan successfully broke away from Pei Xuanmen.

The Zero Gate will still be fully opened.

Pei Xuanmen no longer intends to preserve this passage between the human and mortal realms.

He wanted to be completely swallowed up before he was swallowed up.

Actively destroy the lock.

Let the sect leader in.

Behind the door.

The main chain that ran through the heart of the third survivor suddenly tightened.

The sharp chain head was raised from behind.

Aim at his head.

Pei Xuanmen's voice was frantic.

"Since you want to leave the door open."

"I will vacate this door."

"It can never be turned off!"

The chain pierced down.

The white lock pattern on Lin Xiaoya's forehead lit up instantly.

"stop!"

White light pierced through the Extreme Star Gate.

Cross the folded corridor.

It landed in the crack of the No. 0 ancient door.

The main chain stopped for only a very brief moment.

Lin Xiaoya's body swayed violently.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

But that one moment was enough.

Lin Yuan's eyes locked onto the true location of the main chain through the dark golden starry sky.

Blood Shadow turned around.

All eight arms simultaneously reached through the crack in the door.

There was no attack on Pei Xuanmen.

Instead, it reached for the black chain that was about to pierce the head of the lock cylinder.

The door gap was very narrow.

The arm of the Eight Asura Body was cut open by the door frame.

The bloodshed didn't stop.

Six hands gripped the main chain.

With the other two hands, grasp the sides of the door gap.

Expand outwards.

Pei Xuanmen's only remaining right eye was fixed on the blood shadow.

"You dare open the door?"

Blood Shadow's soul core throbbed violently.

Dark gold starlight flowed into the chains along the six arms.

"It's not open."

All six arms exert force simultaneously.

"It's unlocking."

Stab it--!

The main chain that had pierced the heart of the third survivor for seventy-six years was pulled out inch by inch from the depths of the Zero Ancient Gate by Blood Shadow.

The chain came out an inch at a time.

The fusion of Pei Xuanmen and Zero Ancient Gate caused a rift to form.

And the figure nailed behind the door finally opened its eyes for the first time.

Those were eyes that had not been eroded by the markings on the door.

He saw a bloodstain.

They also saw Lin Yuan on the other side of the Extreme Path Star Gate.

His chapped lips slowly parted.

The first words spoken in seventy-six years.

"Don't pull it all out..."

"The chains broke..."

"The door will open."
