170: Chapter 170: 108 Forbidden Paths Seal the Way Out; The Immortal King Descends to Point to the Gate of Fate

"Clatter!"

The view before his eyes suddenly opened up.

This was the core interlayer at the very bottom of the altar, a dead, silent space constructed entirely from cold Divine Metal and chains.

There was no time, no direction, only a suffocating gloom.

And in the very center of the space floated a colossal, eerie crystal, translucent and amber-like in appearance.

Through the surface of the crystal, Qin Mu immediately saw everyone who had been tightly sealed inside!

Grandpa Blind, The Mute, and the Apothecary from Canlao Village were currently solidified within the crystal, just like insects trapped in amber.

Countless blood-colored crystal threads, thinner than strands of hair, were piercing into their bodies from all directions.

They were extremely slowly, yet extremely greedily, draining their life Origin!

"Grandpa Blind!"

Qin Mu's eye sockets instantly turned blood-red as if tearing apart. Clutching his butcher knife, he was about to leap off the bow of the ship to hack at that giant crystal.

"Get back, damn it!"

Ye Xiu grabbed Qin Mu's shoulder, a flash of chilling killing intent flickering in his purple-gold pupils:

"This is 'Heavenly Crystal Blood Essence' refined by the God Race using Void Realm marrow fluid. Its hardness is comparable to an Emperor Weapon!

Even if we set aside whether the crystal would shatter from your strike, the backlash force would instantly shatter their already exhausted internal organs into dust!"

"Then... what do we do? Brother Ye, they can't hold on much longer!"

Watching the people inside the crystal, whose faces were pale as gold paper, Qin Mu trembled with anxiety.

"In this world, there is no situation I cannot resolve!"

Ye Xiu took a slow step forward, his figure instantly appearing before that giant amber crystal.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his right hand.

The Origin of a Saint King gathered in his palm.

But this time, it was not violent destruction, but the infiltration of meticulous, exquisitely precise Supreme Law!

An Immortal Level 6 Saint King not only possesses the power to destroy the heavens and earth, but also absolute control to reshape the rules!

"Dissolve!"

Ye Xiu's palm gently pressed against the surface of the Heavenly Crystal Blood Essence.

"Hum—"

In an instant, that eerie crystal, originally indestructible and unable to be marked even by a Divine Artifact, seemed like a block of butter thrown into a raging fire the moment it touched Ye Xiu's Saint King Law; it began to melt rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Those blood-colored crystal threads piercing into Granny Si and the others were also peeled off and extracted one by one by Ye Xiu with extreme precision, without harming their Origin in the slightest.

In just three breaths of time!

The giant amber crystal completely turned into a puddle of harmless liquid.

"Thump!"

Losing the support of the crystal, the Apothecary and the others who had been sealed inside collapsed to the ground one after another.

They gasped for air, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.

"Cough, cough... Is this an illusion... I actually saw the Cult Master..."

Granny Si struggled to open her beautiful eyes, looking weakly at the bright red dragon-patterned wedding robe before her, a tear of disbelief sliding from the corner of her eye.

"Cult Master, my foot. I'm here to fish out you bunch of cripples."

Ye Xiu looked down at them from above. Although a wild, cold sneer hung on the corners of his mouth, a trace of imperceptible relief flashed in the depths of his eyes.

With a wave of his large sleeves, purple-gold Holy Light scattered like spring rain, lifting everyone from Canlao Village off the ground.

He steadily sent them back to the deck of the moon boat, reuniting them with the Village Chief who had already been saved.

"Everyone is here!"

Ye Xiu took a step, his figure instantly soaring, returning to the highest point of the moon boat's bow.

He turned around, looking at this dark plane of Wuyou Township, which was already collapsing crazily and heading toward final destruction because it had lost its array core energy and all its sacrifices. His eyes erupted with peerless domineering aura that looked down upon the heavens.

"Qin Mu! Pull the helm to the limit for me!"

"Today, we smashed the Founding Emperor's altar and fished everyone out!

I want all the heavens and myriad worlds to know who the true Dominator of this Major Thousand Worlds is!"

"Set sail! Smash through the Void Realm for me! We are—going home!"

"Yes!!! Brother Ye!"

Qin Mu wiped away his tears and let out a beast-like roar toward the sky.

He poured all the Divine Bridge True Qi within his body, as well as his overflowing rage toward this hypocritical Wuyou Township, into the helm!

"Rumble!!"

The moon boat let out an earth-shattering roar that shook the past and present. Protected by the [Saint King] level Holy Light erupting from Ye Xiu, the massive hull was like a golden meteor flying against the sky, slashing through the heavens!

It extremely arrogantly withstood the destructive power of the entire plane collapsing, turned its bow, and crashed upward, tearing open a long fissure that pierced through the Void Realm!

"We're about to break out! Ahead is the space barrier of the Major Thousand Worlds!

As long as we pass through, we'll be back in The Great Ruins!"

Qin Mu stared fixedly at the silhouette of The Great Ruins' night gradually appearing ahead, trembling with excitement.

On the deck, the people of Canlao Village, supporting each other, also revealed the wild joy of surviving a disaster.

However.

The killing trap set by the Heavenly Court back then to create this top-secret altar was far more despairing and vicious than they had imagined!

"Clang!!!"

Just as the moon boat was less than ten miles away from the entrance to the Major Thousand Worlds, the entire Void Realm suddenly emitted a roar like a funeral bell struck by an ancient heavenly chime!

Immediately following, in the eyes of everyone who was struck with terror.

The Void Realm barrier ahead was like a piece of iron instantly heated to red-hot, erupting with blindingly intense dark-gold divine light!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of loud noises that shattered the Divine Soul exploded in the Void Realm one after another!

In that vast space ahead, one hundred and eight towering divine pillars, each ten thousand feet thick and flowing with Heavenly Dao Law, appeared out of thin air!

At the top of each divine pillar sat a phantom figure exuding ancient Divine Might.

The will projections of the one hundred and eight ancient True Gods were perfectly connected at this moment through countless dark-gold Law chains, transforming into an absolute heavenly net that covered the sky and blocked out the sun!

In the very center of that heavenly net hung a giant divine tablet inscribed with [Heavenly Court Restricted Area], exuding a supreme will that obliterated all living beings!

"Tiangang and Disha... The 108 Heavenly Cycle God-Killing Prohibition!"

On the deck of the moon boat, Grandpa Blind, who had just awakened, revealed unprecedented terror and despair in his hollow eye sockets.

He gripped the jade pillar beside him tightly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably:

"This is the true foundation of the Heavenly Court! They actually perfectly fused the Dao Law of one hundred and eight True Gods into an 'absolute closed loop'!"

Grandpa Blind screamed miserably:

"The space ahead has been completely locked down! There are no gaps, no gates of life, no blind spots! No matter where we crash, we will be subjected to the joint strangulation of the one hundred and eight True Gods' Law!

We... we can't get out!"

Just as everyone from Canlao Village fell into deathly despair, Ye Xiu, standing at the very front of the bow, sneered with extreme disdain.

His bright red dragon-patterned wedding robe fluttered loudly in the destructive gale whipped up by the divine prohibition.

In those purple-gold Saint King eyes, there was an extreme contempt, looking down upon a frog in a well.

"Old Blind, your vision is only fit for spinning around in this Major Thousand Worlds."

Ye Xiu slowly clasped his hands behind his back and looked up.

He stared at the one hundred and eight towering divine pillars that were arrogant beyond compare, as well as the high and mighty [Heavenly Court Restricted Area] divine tablet.

"The Dao of this world is full at fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine, there must be one that escapes!

Even if it is a trap set by Heaven itself, it is absolutely impossible for there to be such a thing as 'flawless'!"

A grin of extreme arrogance curled at the corners of Ye Xiu's mouth:

"This bunch of bumpkin pseudo-gods from the Heavenly Court thinks that by gathering one hundred and eight, and setting up an iron-barrel array, they can Seal the Universe? It's simply ridiculous!"

"Qin Mu! Hold the helm steady for me! Don't slow down! Keep crashing!"

Ye Xiu roared, and then, the Immortal Level 6 Saint King Origin he had just promoted to within his body erupted like a boiling sea of stars at this moment!

But he did not throw a punch, nor did he draw a sword.

Facing this absolute divine prohibition that claimed to be flawless and connected to the will of the Heavenly Court's True Gods, Ye Xiu chose to respond with the most supreme, dimensionality-reducing, peerless phenomenon from the "Shrouding the Heavens" system!

"Hum!"

Ye Xiu suddenly spread his arms to both sides, and the purple-gold Holy Light, like a scorching sun rushing against the Nine Heavens, instantly tore through the dark Void Realm!

"Open your eyes and see clearly! What is truly 'flawless'!

What is truly 'Supreme Dao'!"

"Shrouding the Heavens Phenomenon—[Immortal King Descending Upon Nine Heavens]!!!"
