Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

The gatekeeper and the returning deity simultaneously grabbed at the half-open door leading back to the underworld.

Two beams of light, one black and one silver, collided in the void.

The array plate in Zhou Xuan's hand instantly cracked into three places.

His face turned pale, and he pressed his hands tightly against the array plate.

"This door can't hold!"

Half of the gate leads back to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

Half of them were dragged towards the Tianyuan Portal by the gatekeeper.

Guixu clung to the door frame, its body being pulled forward little by little.

It's too small.

The gatekeeper, however, represents the entire porch.

Their power levels are completely different.

Jie Chen growled and rushed over to lock the door frame for it.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate Lock fell.

The door to the return journey stopped being dragged away for a moment.

The remaining hand slowly closed as the door was closed.

"Return to the Ruins".

"You're still too young."

Guixu bit the door and mumbled:

"Your hand is broken."

Shen Ye almost choked on his words.

The door being closed caused a crack in the facade.

It felt like the first time I'd ever been truly offended.

The next moment, the black light in the Tianyuan Corridor surged.

The half-open door to the return route was forcibly pulled open again.

Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth and said:

"Shen Ye!"

"If this drags on any longer, it will also be able to locate the Demon Suppression Pass!"

We must not let the door be closed.

We also cannot allow the door to remain connected to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

Shen Ye made a quick judgment.

"Broken door".

Zhou Xuan was taken aback.

"How will we get back if we lose our way?"

Shen Ye said:

"A small path can be opened in the Ruins of Return."

Gui Xu nodded with difficulty.

"able."

"crooked."

Qin Wuji immediately said:

"Even a slightly off-target situation is better than having it taken away!"

Zhou Xuan no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand and shattered the coordinates connecting to the Demon Suppression Pass on the array plate with a single palm strike.

The half-open door to the return route shook violently.

The light from the direction of Zhenmo Pass dimmed.

Closing the gate deprives the user of the opportunity to directly locate the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

But it still clung to the remaining half of the door.

"No way back."

"You will remain on the porch."

Shen Ye took a step forward.

You're overthinking it.

He slashed his sword towards the center of the Return Path Gate.

It's not a complete destruction of the door.

Instead, they cut off the half that had been captured by the gatekeeper.

Guixu simultaneously bit the other half.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate Locked the Cut.

Click.

The half-open door leading home was split in two.

The gatekeeper grabbed a section of it.

Guixu managed to reclaim a section.

Zhou Xuan immediately used the remaining formation to catch the door piece that Gui Xu had snatched back.

"It still works!"

"But it can only be fired once, and the landing point is unknown!"

Shen Ye said:

"It will open in a bit."

The gatekeeper looked at the half of the door that had been cut off in his hand.

A low, guttural sound came from the crack in the facade.

"The Night King"

"You have cut off your own path home."

Shen Ye said:

"And I've cut you off too."

The figure of the gatekeeper had become extremely faint.

The main anchor broke.

The first anchor broke.

The return route gate wasn't completely collected either.

Its attempt to arrive this time failed.

But it still hasn't completely disappeared.

The Apostle of Tianyuan showed no anger.

There was no fear.

Only a cold, rudimentary execution.

It raised the piece of door it was holding.

"Even a half-entry point can be used to recruit people."

The piece of door suddenly transformed into a black hook, directly hooking towards the Tianyuan mark on Shen Ye's chest.

Xue Li's expression changed drastically.

"It's going to take the mark away!"

Shen Ye had just sealed the Heavenly Abyss Seal, and the power of the five beasts within his body was still being suppressed, causing him to be a beat slower in his movements.

The door hook was already close to his chest.

Lu Chenzhou attacked from the side.

He slashed at the door hook with his sword.

clang!

The door hook was slightly off, but not broken.

Lu Chenzhou was knocked back, and his newly reconstructed body instantly cracked with several fine lines.

"This thing can't be cut!"

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

He reached out and grabbed the door hook.

The door hook pierced his palm in an instant.

The black lines on the door burrowed into the flesh and blood, reaching the chest.

The system prompts an error.

[The Heavenly Abyss Gate hook enters the body.]

[Target: The Heavenly Abyss Mark.]

[Warning: If triggered, the host's location will be traced to the Heavenly Abyss Corridor by the Gatekeeper.]

Shen Ye tightened his grip.

"Want to take it?"

He pulled the door hook in front of him.

The closing of the door caused his afterimage to be dragged forward a step.

Everyone's expression changed.

Qin Wuji roared:

"Shen Ye, what are you doing!"

Shen Ye did not turn around.

"It won't leave."

"I'll give it to you."

Guixu understood instantly.

Black and silver eyes lit up.

"Send it to the opposite door."

Jie Chen also opened his Heavenly Tribulation Eye.

Shen Ye held onto the door hook, thus establishing a connection with the afterimage of the door-closing envoy.

Danger.

But it is also an opportunity.

Guixu opened its mouth and swallowed a small portion of the reclaimed section of the Return Path door.

Then it spat out a twisted little door.

That door doesn't lead to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

It's not a path to the abyss either.

Instead, it leads to the remnants of the main anchor that have just collapsed.

A turbulent dead end.

Zhou Xuan's pupils contracted upon seeing this.

"You're going to send it into the spatial turbulence?"

Shen Ye said:

"Can it be sent away?"

Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth:

"able!"

"I'll help you regain your breath!"

Zhou Xuan's broken array plate lit up.

Qin Wuji, Li Xuance, Chu Jinglan, and Meng Qianqiu attacked simultaneously, clearing away the corpses that were rushing towards them.

Lu Chenzhou stood up again, suppressing the backlash from the door hook.

Xue Li raised her hand and pressed all the remaining ancestral pool imprints into the reverse gate, interfering with the gatekeeper's judgment.

"It will find out!"

Shen Ye said:

"Then hurry up."

He exerted force, dragging the door hook and the door handle together, causing the afterimage to drift towards the opposite side of the door.

The gatekeeper finally realized something was wrong.

"This is not the way back."

Shen Ye said:

"You only found out now?"

The doorman wanted to loosen the door hook.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate of Calamity closed.

Locking hook.

The power of the Gate of Return to Nothingness bit into the edge of the afterimage of the Gate-Closing Envoy.

Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan exerted their power simultaneously within Shen Ye's body, transforming the Ten Thousand Beasts Sealing Body into the Ten Thousand Beasts Pushing the Door.

Shen Ye dragged the door hook, pushing the afterimage of the door closer towards the back door step by step.

Closing the door caused the cracks in the door to fully open.

A sound emanated from the depths of the abyss.

"The Night King"

"You are approaching the abyss."

Shen Ye said:

"You go in first."

last step.

Shen Ye struck the end of the door hook with his sword.

The door hook was not broken.

However, the force of the sword caused him and the gatekeeper to crash into the reverse gate.

Zhou Xuan roared:

"close!"

Guixu opened its mouth and bit down.

The door to the calamity was locked.

The reverse door is closed.

boom!

A violent explosion came from deep within the main anchor cavity.

All the remaining gates in the Tianmen Ruins shook simultaneously.

The aura of the Gatekeeper was forcibly swept into the spatial turbulence.

A system notification sounded.

The gatekeeper's descent failed.

The lingering shadow of the Gatekeeper was banished to the turbulent flow of the Heavenly Gate.

[Failed to retrieve the Heavenly Abyss Mark.]

[Mission Complete: Defeat the Apostles of Tianyuan.]

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could speak, the broken edge of the reverse door that Guixu had spat out suddenly lit up again.

Zhou Xuan's expression changed.

"not good!"

"Turbulent flow reverses!"

The ruins of Tianmen began to collapse.

Countless broken doors, bridges, and staircases were swept towards the location of the main anchor explosion.

They have no stable way home.

All that remained was the broken piece of door that Guixu had salvaged.

Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth and said:

"You must open the door now!"

Qin Wuji asked:

"Where can it go?"

Zhou Xuan looked towards Guixu.

The Void Returns to Emptiness:

"The nearest door."

Xue Li's face turned pale.

"The nearest stable gate to the Tianmen Ruins may not be the Demon Suppression Gate."

Shen Ye said:

"open."

If we don't open it soon, it will all be swallowed up by the turbulence.

Guixu opened his mouth and spat out the broken piece of the door.

A dark silver light enveloped everyone.

An unstable boundary gate opened.

A blinding white light shone from behind the door.

Zhou Xuan roared:

"Enter!"

The group rushed into the boundary gate.

Shen Ye was the last one.

As soon as he stepped in, the ruins of the Heavenly Gate behind him completely collapsed.

The light from the door turned.

Everyone was thrown out violently.

When Shen Ye landed, his feet were on cold stone slabs.

There was a faint smell of incense in the air.

There were also many people exclaiming in surprise.

He looked up.

I saw a huge palace.

Inside the hall, young beast tamers dressed in fine clothes sat in large seats.

At the very front, an elderly man was standing on the podium, holding a textbook in his hand.

Several large characters were written on the blackboard.

[Dongtian Tianfu Academy, Open Class for New Students.]

The entire room fell silent.

Qin Wuji got up from the side, looked at the classroom full of students, and his lips twitched.

"Return to the Ruins".

"You're such a newcomer..."

Gui Xu peeked out from Shen Ye's shoulder and whispered:

"Stablize."

Shen Ye looked down at his blood-stained body and then at the stunned freshmen.

The old man on the podium trembled slightly.

"Night...Night King?"

Shen Ye remained silent for a moment.

"Just passing by."
