Chapter 370 Destroying the Heavenly Gate

Rumble!!!

Thunder rolled like a tide, sweeping across the entire night sky. Countless blue and purple lightning flashes filled the vision, and the sound echoed through the heavens. The nine pillars of light erupting from the top of the Heavenly Pillar began to twist, and the world power they released became chaotic.

The existence about to break through the Heavenly Gate this time was more than just a little bit stronger than Yi Xunzhen.

It was an extremely terrifying being.

The towering Heavenly Gate seemed unable to withstand the other party's Aura, being forced open by sheer pressure. An arm reached in, spanning dozens of miles, as if blotting out the sun.

This giant hand extended an index finger, which at first glance appeared even loftier than the Heavenly Pillar below.

"Freezing Three Thousand Li!!"

It was the same move, Freezing Three Thousand Li, but compared to Yi Xunzhen's earlier technique, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Cold stars spread from the fingertip, and the countless erupting thunderbolts were instantly frozen. Thousands of feet of branch-like lightning were trapped within ice crystals, hanging high in the night sky—both magnificent and filled with killing intent.

The ice crystals spread downward at an extremely rapid pace.

The opponent intended to freeze the entire Blessed Land.

Yan Chu knew he could wait no longer; he had already finished gathering his strength.

Two Nine Yang Great Thunderbolts, both condensed from highly concentrated Pure Yang Fire, were far more powerful than simple Divine Abilities.

Boom! Boom!!

Two spheres of Qi flew from his palms, spinning toward the Heavenly Gate. They grew larger and more dazzling, like two suns illuminating the entire night sky.

Simultaneously, the temperature within the entire Blessed Land soared rapidly.

The advancing ice crystals melted and dissolved, and the lightning frozen in the Void Realm was released, striking the giant arm all at once.

"Eh?"

A light exclamation echoed through the night sky, tinged with suspicion and uncertainty.

The thunder filling the sky was not the focus of the opponent's attention; even as his sleeves were shredded and his skin scorched, he remained unshaken.

However, the two increasingly bright and brilliant scorching Qi spheres made him feel a trace of threat.

In the next second, the giant hand once again radiated endless cold light, transforming into an Ice Cage that enveloped the two Qi spheres.

Boom!!!

The moment the Nine Yang Great Thunderbolts touched the ice, they exploded violently. Endless light and heat erupted, truly shocking the world.

Flames surged, and the Ice Cage didn't last even a second before vaporizing. Light resembling an exploding meteor radiated outward, and a massive shockwave spread in all directions.

Pure Yang Fire burned through the entire world.

The Heavenly Pillar, which had stood for over four thousand years, finally collapsed under the impact of this light, and the nine massive pillars of light above it instantly vanished.

But the night sky did not darken with the disappearance of the light pillars; instead, it became even more blindingly bright.

The sensation this massive explosion gave everyone was like a sun detonating. The ultimate destructive power destroyed the Foundation upon which the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land relied.

Terrifying fluctuations appeared within the Blessed Land.

The originally undulating mountain ranges on the ground shifted and flattened, and the Earth Veins began to undergo a massive change, attempting to return to the world's original form.

The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi within the Blessed Land thinned at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Spiritual Mist that had previously condensed into cloud-like masses now dissipated. Many Spiritual Lights in the mountains dimmed, and countless thick cracks opened in the ground as Origin Qi leaked into the depths.

Contrary to the changes within Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the concentration of Origin Qi in the outside world was rising.

Especially in Tianque County, where the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land was located, many large mountains began to rise imperceptibly, and some Spiritual Plants that would not normally appear in the outside world quietly began to grow.

Although these changes were slow, they were truly happening.

Because of this massive explosion, Heavenly Pillar Mountain was inevitably heading toward collapse.

That would be a story for later.

The collapse of the world's number one Blessed Land, which had existed for over four thousand years, was not something that would happen overnight. The shifting and changing of Earth Veins would be measured in years or even decades.

However, the many experts within the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land had already noticed this change.

They discovered that Heavenly Pillar Mountain, which was originally severed from the outside world, had suddenly begun to gradually merge with it.

It was no longer an independent small world but was merging into the greater world outside.

And at the peak of the night sky, the battle between Yan Chu and the mysterious expert from the Cold Ice Holy Sect was not yet over.

"Hmph—"

The person had taken two hits from the Nine Yang Great Thunderbolts with a single arm, which were further condensed with the Divine Ability Pure Yang Fire. No matter how strong his cultivation was, under the suppression of the world power, it was impossible for him to remain unscathed.

Sure enough, when the most brilliant flames dissipated, a severed arm came into view.

The flesh around his wound was mangled, and the inextinguishable Pure Yang Fire was still burning, preventing his injury from healing.

"Pure Yang Fire?!"

That voice was filled with disbelief and deep wariness:

"Then I definitely cannot let you live!"

Pure Yang Fire was the most yang, most rigid, most pure, and most intense flame, the nemesis of all yin, evil, and cold things in the world.

For the Cold Ice Holy Sect, which primarily practiced Ice Laws, Yan Chu could not be allowed to remain.

Crackle!! Rumble! Bang!!

The Heavenly Gate shook, forced open by a terrifying power. The opponent used his power on one hand to drive away the Pure Yang Fire, while his other arm tried to reach into the Heavenly Gate again.

How could Yan Chu allow him to have his way?

Boom!

A terrifying Saber Intent rose from Yan Chu's body.

He no longer held back, his Aura fully unleashed, already surpassing the Yuantai Realm and stepping into another level.

Although his cultivation was still at the Yuantai level, his Aura exceeded even that of Yi Xunzhen just now.

The entire world seemed to transform into a Saber Domain under his influence. The world power dissipating due to the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar was now being drawn in by him, merging into his Palm Saber.

Even the churning lightning seemed to be swallowed by an invisible, massive mouth, while the Aura on Yan Chu's body grew stronger and stronger.

Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying—Heaven Swallowing!

This was the strongest move of this saber technique. Even before the strike was delivered, it seemed as if it would swallow the entire world.

Buzz!

Just as the other hand was about to reach in, Yan Chu struck with his saber. The entire world seemed to be split by this single strike. With a "pfft" sound, massive amounts of blood poured down from outside the Heavenly Gate, as if a torrential rain had begun.

"Brat!!"

At this moment, the existence behind the Heavenly Gate finally grew enraged. He hadn't expected to be heavily injured before even entering the Heavenly Gate.

He now wished he could descend in person and shred Yan Chu into a thousand pieces.

"Hahaha!! You're getting anxious!!!"

The more anxious the opponent became, the happier Yan Chu was, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"I'll blow up the Heavenly Gate and see how you lot descend to the Lower Realm then!"

After laughing, a cold sneer appeared on Yan Chu's face.

"You dare!"

The being behind the Heavenly Gate couldn't help but shout, his voice rumbling and echoing through the night sky.

The Heavenly Gate had originally been opened by the Cold Ice Holy Sect with great effort. Now that it had finally opened again, if he couldn't hold it, he would have to watch the Luck and resources of an entire world slip away.

This was absolutely intolerable.
