Chapter 779: Obtaining The Gate of the Great Dao [3rd Update]
Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, not far from the Ice Emperor's Veins, lies near the Primordial Realm.
The so-called Primordial Realm is the edge of the Origin Plane, filled with purple qi; anyone entering rashly is prone to getting lost.
From afar, the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair resembles a red sea, sprawling across the star space with ends not in sight.
Around it, devoid of stars, a quarantine zone forms, looking, at first glance, like the gaping maw of a primordial beast.
Su Yie stood on an ice stone, sweeping his divine sense across the area.
Even without entering the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, he could feel the killing aura emanating from within.
"In the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, no matter what you see, do not be swayed by it. Your target is the Gate of Origin Time, which is what you refer to as the Gate of the Great Dao,"
Bai Wuxue instructed him, "News about the Gate of Origin Time has already spread, and for the past hundred thousand years, many have tried and none have succeeded."
Su Yie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you guarantee my success?"
His tone wasn't great; are you toying with me?
Bai Wuxue nodded, speaking casually, "When have I, Bai Wuxue, ever gone back on my word?"
"Rest assured, I have a way to bring you to the front of the Gate of Origin Time. As for conquering the Gate of Origin Time, that's up to you. I can't just shove it into your belly, can I?"
Su Yie chuckled, not saying anything more.
Even if Bai Wuxue couldn't guarantee success, he wasn't afraid.
In desperation, he would simply summon the Three Thousand Royal Power to escort and protect him.
Bai Xuanyi and Bai Xuanliu, like wooden figurines, remained silent all the while.
Soon, they flew into the depths of the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair.
Before entering the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, Su Yie caught a glimpse of numerous creatures gathering in the distance, obviously aiming for the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair as well.
Once inside the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, everything around them turned blood red, with countless ghostly figures lurking in the shadows, staring at Su Yie and the others with bloodthirsty eyes.
"Recently, have any major powers set their sights on the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair?"
Su Yie suddenly asked, sensing that this journey wouldn't be easy with his connection to space-time causality.
Bai Wuxue replied, "The Demon Palace and the Holy Light Hall are both eyeing that Gate of Origin Time; perhaps we'll encounter their people later."
Her tone was even; although she was no match for the Ancient Royal Power or Shi Er, she was still a top existence of the Origin Plane.
"Woo woo woo—"
All around, bizarre sounds suddenly erupted, resembling the cries of ghosts and howls of wolves.
With no change in expression, Bai Wuxue wasn't scared, and naturally, neither was Su Yie.
They encountered numerous corpses along their way, and some creatures weren't yet dead, crying out for help.
Su Yie felt no pity, knowing all too well it could be a trap.
After entering the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, Bai Wuxue slowed down, no longer daring to rush at full speed to avoid capsizing.
They encountered numerous restrictions and obstacles on their way, all of which Bai Wuxue bypassed with ease.
After about half an hour of flying, they suddenly entered a warm blaze of light, ending up in a little world within the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair.
Little worlds like this one were numerous and uncountable within the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair.
Upon opening his eyes again, Su Yie saw innumerable shards of stone densely packed within this dark red universe.
His gaze was quickly drawn to the Gate of the Great Dao.
The vicinity of the Gate was strewn with millions of corpses, a sight both spectacular and unsettling, with coagulated blood resembling dark red crystals embedded among them, chilling to anyone who saw it.
"It's up to you now,"
said Bai Wuxue, her expression slightly mocking, as if eager to see if Su Yie dared to proceed.
Su Yie directly activated Emperor Su's Divine Outfit and leaped to the front of the Gate of the Great Dao.
He checked it thoroughly first, making sure it was indeed the Gate of the Great Dao before taking any action.
Only by absorbing the Gate of the Great Dao could he cleanse his space-time causality, whereas the Gate of Misfortune would increase it.
If not for the need to enter Endless Time-Space at any moment, he would have rid himself of the Gate of Misfortune from within him long ago.
After a thorough inspection, he confirmed that this was indeed the Gate of the Great Dao.
The Gate of the Great Dao was governed solely by the laws of space-time, without other rules, whereas the Gate of Misfortune contained an additional sinister force.
He then raised his hand, placed it on the Gate of the Great Dao, and activated the Great Celestial Devouring Technique.
With a whoosh!
The Gate of the Great Dao was absorbed into his body; he didn't leave, but rather allowed the Gate of the Great Dao to fuse with his Heavenly Emperor Divine Body.
From a distance, Bai Wuxue was stunned.
That easy?
Less than a while later.
Su Yie completely merged with the Gate of the Great Dao, then returned to Bai Wuxue's side.
He nodded, "It's true, you didn't deceive me."
Bai Wuxue looked at him dazedly.
Even Bai Xuanyi and Bai Xuanliu showed expressions of stupefaction.
Su Yie also felt something was amiss, it seemed too easy.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was somewhat cheap.
Must someone jump out and step on him to feel better?
"Stop!"
A thunderous shout suddenly erupted, causing Su Yie's expression to turn odd.
The three women, Bai Wuxue, turned to look.
They saw a figure shimmering with silver light flying towards them from the other end of the cosmos.
Bai Wuxue frowned, "Zong Fenghu?"
Bai Xuanyi and Bai Xuanliu wore looks of surprise.
Seeing the three ice-cold beauties moved, Su Yie became a bit curious about this Zong Fenghu.
Who exactly was this guy?
Why did it feel off?
Zong Fenghu had a face full of burly beard, his clothes were tattered, and his white hair was in disarray, appearing destitute and forlorn, but his aura was very strong, at least surpassing the Master of the Divine Domain.
He flew towards them, roaring furiously, "Where is my Bei Ao?"
Bei Ao?
What the heck is that?
Su Yie furrowed his brows, could this guy be deranged?
He originally thought Zong Fenghu was here to fight for the Gate of the Great Dao.
Bai Wuxue said, "This guy is an ancient power, who after mistakenly entering the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair, became mad and his cultivation came to a standstill, wandering around all day in search of Bei Ao, with no one knowing what treasure Bei Ao is."
As Zong Fenghu came within a hundred meters of them, Bai Wuxue struck out with a palm, sending Zong Fenghu flying backward, vomiting blood.
Seeing Bai Wuxue easily dealing with Zong Fenghu, Su Yie lost interest in him as well.
Such madmen can be found everywhere.
Moreover, the Infernal Crimson Demon Lair is a place of doom.
Just as the four were about to leave, a series of immensely powerful auras tore through space, locking onto them.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Space shattered in all directions, beams of golden light shot out, intertwining together, encasing Su Yie and his party.
The golden light formed columns, hundreds of meters thick, and in an instant, turned into walls of gold, leaving them with no way to escape.
"Holy Light Hall..."
Bai Wuxue muttered darkly.
One by one, figures emerged from within the golden light, belonging to the creatures of the Holy Light Hall, like an army arrayed on each strand of golden light.
They descended like divine troops, each one with a formidable presence, looking down upon Su Yie and the others.
"Ice Emperor's Veins, Emperor Su's Sect, I didn't expect you to collude together!"
The earlier thunderous shout echoed again, and a golden-armored man, ten meters tall, materialized above Su Yie and the rest.
He wore a mask, had six pairs of wings on his back, and held a Golden Fan burning with white fire, as if wielding a knife.
"Lord of the Four Halls of the Holy Light Hall, Luo Tianxiang,"
Bai Wuxue quietly uttered the man's name, her eyes filled with a murderous intent.
