Chapter 954: The Three Gates Descend

Heaven-Shaking and Heaven-Sowing were one and the same.

The Human Gate had only seven Great Saints!

Heaven-Sowing said that long ago, he had split off Heaven-Shaking—how long ago was that long?

He said he split off Heaven-Shaking in a moment of fright—what caused that fright?

Who could frighten a Great Saint of the Human Gate?

At that moment, even the Heaven Gate and Earth Gate changed color slightly, their expressions turning grave.

After merging, Heaven-Sowing's aura reached the peak of 39 paths, nearing the level of 40 paths. This fellow was clearly not weak, quite formidable. If Su Yu hadn't intercepted and killed the Prison King, who had merged paths and incorporated the Way of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, perhaps Heaven-Sowing would have schemed her to death!

Su Yu looked at Heaven-Sowing and also drew in a breath: "I only thought you wanted to devour Heaven-Shaking. Good heavens, but it turns out Heaven-Shaking was simply yourself. You really can split—one moment you split into Zhou Ji, the next into Wan Mingze, the next into Heaven-Shaking... You're splitting apart every day!"

As he spoke, he continued inhaling: "You fellow, weren't you originally planning to feed Heaven-Shaking to the Prison as well? Then you'd substitute yourself and directly replace the Prison? After all, Heaven-Shaking is yourself—you were going to merge half of yourself into the Prison?"

If the Prison King ultimately needed it, would Heaven-Sowing have given even Heaven-Shaking to them to devour? Once devoured, the Prison would be in trouble!

At that point, who would dominate the Prison's heaven and earth was hard to say.

Su Yu looked at Heaven-Sowing again.

And Heaven-Sowing, with a sigh, quickly resumed his smile: "Forget it, it's all in the past. Old classmate, you really did ruin me. Otherwise, I would now have strength above 40 paths, and the Heaven and Earth Gates might not match me! I schemed and plotted, but in the end, it's not as good as your headlong rush. I carefully laid plans for years, yet I got none of the benefits—you took them all!"

Regret!

Helplessness!

Su Yu, you reckless fool.

At this moment, Heaven-Sowing was no longer so hysterical.

After merging with Heaven-Shaking, he had become much more composed.

The Heaven and Earth Gates looked at him but said nothing. Everyone had their own schemes. In this so-called alliance, the biggest fools were actually the Human Ancestor and the Prison.

No, that wasn't right either. The Human Ancestor's plan had also been broken by Su Yu.

Otherwise, the Human Ancestor could have hoped to become a 40-path powerhouse.

These fellows all had their own little schemes. If they had all gone smoothly, then both the Human Ancestor and Heaven-Sowing could have become 40-path powerhouses.

Su Yu felt regret on their behalf and now sighed with emotion: "Sorry, old classmate. You still have a chance now—eat your second grandfather, and you'll instantly be above 40 paths!"

Nearby, Wan Tian Sheng smiled, looked at Heaven-Sowing, and nodded slightly: "Mingze, if you can turn back from the wrong path, your second grandfather is willing to fulfill your wish. If I don't enter hell, who will? It's just a mortal shell—if you want to eat, then eat!"

A sigh, tinged with some sadness: "If this stinking shell of your second grandfather can bring you back to the right path, I will gladly give it!"

Heaven-Sowing laughed: "Then why doesn't Second Grandfather come over now and convert me?"

Wan Tian Sheng smiled: "Fine!"

With that, he walked step by step toward Heaven-Sowing. Heaven-Sowing's expression changed slightly—I was just joking, and you're actually coming?

Heaven-Sowing suddenly looked at Su Yu, who shrugged: "What are you looking at me for? Your second grandfather can't bear to part with you and wants to feed himself to the demon. If you want to eat, go ahead!"

Heaven-Sowing's expression shifted, and he vanished quickly, reappearing near the Heaven and Earth Gates.

Wan Tian Sheng looked sorrowful: "Mingze, you still chose to fall into demonhood. Turn back from the wrong path!"

"..."

Heaven-Sowing laughed: "Second Grandfather, I'm a little scared. Let's forget it for now—maybe wait a bit longer!"

This scene made the others' hair stand on end.

Truly stand on end!

These people—none of them seemed normal, all quite abnormal!

Qiong and the others looked at each other. They realized that compared to the others, they were actually quite normal, without any flaws.

At this moment, the Human Emperor looked at the faintly emerging Human Gate and transmitted a message: "Su Yu, there are still many super-grade beings in the Human Gate! Once they descend, it will likely be trouble!"

Su Yu didn't speak but looked at the Human Gate deep in the River of Time. It was an enormous gate, now rapidly converging toward the Myriad Realms, but it seemed to need some more time.

Su Yu suddenly smiled, looked at the others, then at Heaven-Sowing, and finally at the Heaven and Earth Gates, transmitting: "This Human Gate's descent, I'm afraid it will take a few more hours. Isn't that too long?"

The others' hearts stirred slightly—what did this fellow want to do now?

"How about killing Shi to hasten the Human Gate's descent? Once Shi dies, the Human Gate will surely descend immediately, saving us time!"

Su Yu smiled as he transmitted: "That fellow Shi is no good. We don't want to fight to the end and let him benefit! As for the path power, we can split it among ourselves and give him a share."

The others looked at Su Yu. This fellow wanted to kill everyone!

Shi had just returned and was hiding at the edge, not even daring to come close, yet Su Yu wouldn't let him off.

A true ruthless man!

He wouldn't be satisfied until everyone was dead.

Now, the scattered cultivators and ancient beasts were almost completely wiped out. If Shi were killed too, then in the entire era of the Heaven and Earth Gates, aside from the two gates themselves, there would be almost no one left alive.

Seeing the Heaven and Earth Gates silent, Su Yu smiled and transmitted to Heaven-Sowing: "Old classmate, if they won't act, then the two of us will go kill him. Half each. Kill Shi, take half the path power each. You might even get a chance to break through to 40 paths, and I'll try too. What do you think?"

Heaven-Sowing smiled brilliantly: "Fine!"

The Heaven Gate's eyes flickered as he looked at Heaven-Sowing.

But Heaven-Sowing seemed unconcerned, merely looking at Su Yu, still smiling.

Su Yu sighed: "Don't smile at me. Those who smile at me never end well! People who love to smile usually have bad hearts. Old classmate, am I right?"

"True!"

Heaven-Sowing nodded.

The next moment, his smile faded.

The two exchanged glances and suddenly vanished from where they stood.

The others were startled—were these two really going to join forces to kill someone?

Just to make the Human Gate descend faster?

Clearly, both Heaven-Sowing and Su Yu seemed somewhat eager for the Human Gate to descend early. This made the Heaven and Earth Gates slightly moved. Damn it, this didn't fit their expectations!

At least in their expectations, Su Yu should have wanted to prevent the Human Gate's descent, not eagerly desire it!

Now, as the two joined forces to kill Shi, they remained silent for a moment, neither acting nor stopping.

Shi, at 36 paths, had an unclear stance.

Earlier, he had chosen to flee!

Since that was the case, let these two go kill him—they could watch. Besides, they thought Su Yu and Heaven-Sowing might clash a bit, and they could observe the situation.

...

Over there, Shi had just returned and was still somewhat terrified.

He had fled to the edge of chaos but was driven back. If he didn't return, he felt he would be burned to death, completely covered by deathly energy—this was terrifying!

It meant that without enough yang energy, he simply couldn't leave the Myriad Realms!

At this moment, the stone was still pondering: if there were yang energy, could it run?

What would I do then?

Should I find a way to kill a strong one, or slay several weaker ones, draw their yang energy, and then flee?

To be honest, it was afraid.

This group—each one was immensely powerful, deeply cunning, each with their own schemes. If it were before, it believed that as a 36-path descender, it could sweep through everything!

But now, with Kong fallen, the others dead, even top-tier beings like Zhou and Yu slaughtered, Shi knew that here, it was nothing but cannon fodder!

It understood nothing!

It did not know what the arrival of the Human Gate signified, nor what Su Yu and the others were plotting—utterly ignorant.

Thus, at this moment, Shi only wanted to escape this arena of slaughter, this accursed place.

The myriad realms... had once been a killing field in their imagination: come out, kill, extract paths, unite yin and yang, grow stronger, dominate all worlds...

The vision was beautiful, but the reality was brutally harsh.

At this moment, Shi was also watching Su Yu and the others. Seeing Jingtian and Jitian merge, it was thoroughly shaken.

Watching the two sides confront each other, it was also trembling with fear.

Yet, the next moment, when it sensed Jitian and Su Yu vanish instantly, its face suddenly changed drastically!

Where did they go?

No!

A terrifying thought arose. Shi instantly transformed into a massive boulder, tearing through the void, trying to flee!

And at that very moment, laughter rang out: "Su Yu, the wisdom civilization is Ji. Against you, I have failed repeatedly, but against a 36-path, it should not be difficult!"

Jitian appeared in an instant, waving a hand, and ten thousand small swords materialized.

Those swords, upon closer inspection, were actually divine inscriptions—ten thousand of them.

Imprisonment!

Wan Mingze had once been most skilled in the art of imprisonment; under its bind, using small knives to cut flesh, even Su Yu had been defeated by him, unable to endure that perversity. Jitian was actually quite perverse too!

These ten thousand small-sword divine inscriptions formed a massive seal, laid down by a 39-path peak powerhouse.

They coalesced into a single sword, instantly falling upon the stone!

Shi, filled with terror and despair, roared in fury: "What are you doing? I am not part of your battle... Both of you, must you utterly destroy me?"

Two 39-paths!

Even one would be too much for it to handle, let alone two.

But the two paid him no heed. Su Yu’s Civilization Record appeared; holding it, he laughed: "A myriad paths are not as good as a single book in hand. Within a book, there are ten thousand methods!"

The Civilization Record soared, instantly enveloping Shi!

First came the ten thousand small swords sealing it, then the Civilization Record encircling it. Trapped in the middle, Shi roared madly, the massive stone, shrouded in chaotic aura, crashing violently against its surroundings.

Countless small swords shattered, page after page of the book broke apart!

A 36-path powerhouse, fighting desperately with all its might, still possessed some strength.

Jitian smiled: "That so-called Civilization Record of yours is but a superficial trick! Claiming to hold ten thousand methods, how many do you, Su Yu, truly master? Mountains, rivers, altars, and shrines, within and beyond the cosmos—that is the true ten thousand methods!"

With these words, he waved a hand, and heaven and earth reversed, as if time itself flowed backward!

The shattered pages and small swords from before instantly restored themselves. Shi grew even more terrified, roaring in fury: "You are using me as a test subject?"

He saw it now—these two were sparring with their arts using him!

And Su Yu, at this moment, nodded slightly: "Living long does have its benefits; indeed, you are not weak. I am not as old as you, and my understanding of the Dao is still somewhat lacking..."

Su Yu smiled, unashamed, directly admitting his shallow grasp of the Dao.

The next moment, Su Yu sat cross-legged, his smile radiant, each acupoint shimmering with light: "The wisdom of one man has its limits, but the wisdom of many is boundless! With the hearts of all united, no method or Dao is beyond my reach!"

In an instant, within the acupoints, countless cultivators merged their paths!

Emperor Wu and King Dazhou joined forces, leading the great paths. In a flash, two main paths erupted—boom!

One path fell silent!

"Silence!"

A cry of silence shook heaven and earth, issuing from King Dazhou’s mouth. The still-frantically struggling Shi suddenly quieted, making no sound.

"Only martial!"

Another roar burst forth. Thousands of pages transformed into a single fist, striking the massive boulder and cracking it!

Jitian looked at them and smiled: "Unity of hearts? Merely a minor art!"

The ten thousand small swords instantly merged into a giant sword!

One sword slashed down at Shi. Shi tried to dodge but could not. That was not the key; the key was that this sword strike seemed almost weightless. It cut into Shi’s body but caused no harm!

Shi was first stunned, then overjoyed.

No harm?

Was Jitian just a showman?

But at that moment, Su Yu watched and drew a sharp breath: "Impressive, my old classmate. What is the name of this sword?"

Jitian laughed: "You gather hearts; I cultivate the future! The future is unpredictable, yet it can also be predicted..."

Shi was still in shock and uncertainty. Suddenly, just as it was about to flee, the spot where the sword had struck without effect moments before suddenly burst apart with a bang, exploding directly!

A massive crack appeared on the boulder!

Su Yu sighed in admiration: "Not bad—a sword of the future. At the moment, there is no sensation; let your guard down slightly, and it strikes fatally. However, it is somewhat impractical."

"How so?"

Jitian smiled: "Any living being is like this. If you kill it at that moment, it will be alert, erupt, defend, resist... But if your sword comes from the future, striking at some uncertain moment, it will relax its guard. How is that impractical?"

"At this moment, if I kill you, no matter how strong your future sword is, it will be useless!"

Su Yu smiled: "Don’t you agree?"

"That also makes sense."

And now, Shi, both terrified and enraged, roared furiously: "You bastards, what exactly do you want?"

May you die a miserable death!

These two bastards had been using him as a test subject for their arts all along!

At this moment, Su Yu laughed: "Let’s kill him quickly. I’ll make him quiet, and you show me your sword of the future again—it’s quite interesting..."

Jitian smiled: "If you want to see, show me some real skill! You, Su Yu, have been brewing and preparing until now—surely you have some true ability?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "Is this ability of mine not enough?"

"Of course not."

Jitian said flatly: "In my view, if this is all... then it falls far short."

"Surely not?"

Su Yu laughed. Ji Tian said calmly, "It's far from that. For a Su Yu like this... what does thirty-nine paths matter?"

"Underestimated, am I!"

Su Yu sighed. "Very well, let's make an experiment. I haven't tried it before, and I'm worried I won't be able to use it when the time comes. Might as well test it now. Old classmate, after you've seen it, give me your thoughts!"

"Good!"

The two truly seemed like old classmates, united against the enemy.

And at that moment, the Civilization Chronicle was withdrawn.

In that instant, the Civilization Chronicle transformed into a long blade. That wasn't enough; the Seal of the Human Sovereign became the hilt.

Nor was this the end!

At that moment, myriad great paths emerged from within his body. The Great Zhou King and the others each seized control of their paths, forming countless points of light. These points of light instantly merged, gradually outlining a divine-word battle technique in the void... no, a great-path battle technique!

The divine-word battle technique at which the Multi-Divine-Word School excelled most!

Divine words fused, outlining a battle technique!

At this moment, Su Yu used his acupoints as a foundation, the great paths as divine words, and gradually outlined a blade, or perhaps a brush!

The path of the brush?

Ji Tian was slightly startled. It wasn't the path of the brush; it was Su Yu's divine-word battle technique!

One by one, the great paths merged. The aura of this blade instantly swelled to a terrifying degree!

Su Yu's voice rang out again: "This is my first attempt, far from perfect. Old classmate, watch closely. I've always lacked a one-strike kill technique, and it's been troubling me. After much thought, I realized that multi-divine-word battle techniques have greater explosive power... The great paths can merge into acupoints; divine words are the great paths. So why can't the great paths be transformed into divine-word battle techniques?"

Ji Tian nodded: "When one method is understood, all methods are understood! The theory is sound. Seeing that your great paths are balanced and the power of your acupoints is even, it seems you've had this idea for a while. But merging them will be difficult..."

"Not difficult!"

A light laugh. The next moment, the long blade took shape. Su Yu gripped it. At this moment, dozens of wills converged. Su Yu's own will seemed to merge as well, and in the blink of an eye, he became someone else entirely!

Ji Tian's expression shifted slightly. He suddenly said, "Prefect Xia!"

Su Yu was still Su Yu, his appearance unchanged, but his expression was cold and stern, tinged with indifference. He glanced at Ji Tian, ignored him, then looked at the Stone, snorted coldly, and slashed down with the blade!

This slash carried boundless killing intent!

The intent of one who had trained for years in the military!

In the human realm, the most adept at killing was Xia Longwu. The Great Xia Prefecture had fought for centuries, and within decades, Xia Longwu had earned the title of Blood Butcher!

At this moment, Su Yu's will seemed to vanish, and Xia Longwu took control of this slash!

The blade descended. Its aura was not the strongest, but its killing intent was fierce to the extreme!

At that moment, the Stone was also terrified, roaring in fury, frantically striking at the small sword sealing him!

Boom!

The blade fell. This blade was the convergence of Su Yu's myriad paths—the great-path battle technique blade, immensely powerful.

Vaguely, it even posed a considerable threat to the distant Heavenly Gate and the others.

Hum!

The blade sang. Its edge was sharp to the extreme. The path of sharpness erupted, followed by the coordinated eruption of various great paths!

"No..."

Bang!

A tremendous sound rang out. The giant stone split in two!

The colossal Chaos Stone's countless wills scattered, its great paths disintegrated. At that moment, Ji Tian frowned slightly. "Not quite right..."

And Su Yu's voice soon followed: "Indeed, not quite right. The coordination and harmony are still lacking!"

Su Yu's voice carried a hint of regret: "A single slash should have cut it cleanly in half, directly extinguishing its will! With sharpness, armor-breaking, and spatial severing as the vanguard; vibration, sealing, burst, and focus as the middle; and locking essence and devouring as the end... But the coordination was off. Great Zhou King, you all need to work harder. A bit more precision in coordination!"

Su Yu himself commented further: "And Prefect Xia, the slash was swift and fierce, with abundant killing intent and vigorous murderousness... Not good! The strike was fierce, but it lacked cunning and stealth. Great Zhou King should coordinate with techniques of concealment, patience, and silence as supplements. When the blade falls, the enemy should feel nothing, notice nothing—a single strike to kill!"

"First attempt at coordination... not bad!"

Su Yu added another critique!

And at that moment, with a thunderous crash, the enormous stone was completely split in two. A great path, like a giant mountain, hung between heaven and earth. On the path, the Stone's will still lingered, not yet dead, but filled with boundless terror and despair. It shrieked hoarsely, "Either kill me, or..."

"One more slash. Pay attention to coordination!"

In that instant, another slash descended. This time, the killing intent was almost invisible!

The speed was even faster and more ferocious!

Hum!

The blade fell. The void shattered, the great path split, and the will was instantly devoured and locked. The Stone's voice was filled with infinite despair. "You..."

And at that moment, Ji Tian acted. Thousands of small swords merged into one, and he slashed with that single sword!

After a moment, with a pfft sound, the great path was severed in two!

Ji Tian reached out and grabbed one half!

A thirty-six-path great path, severed in two by his sword!

This showed how terrifying he was!

And Su Yu, with a single slash, swept up the other half.

The Stone's final impotent roar echoed through heaven and earth: "You are the demons... You are all demons... Devils!"

This first stone of creation, the Chaos Stone, a top-tier existence of thirty-six paths, was toyed with to death by these two.

Used as a sparring stone to test their techniques.

Before long, they had directly slain him!

To die like this, for him, would have been better than dying in the endless void. Now, regret was too late!

And Su Yu and Ji Tian exchanged a glance, laughed, and both erupted.

The next moment, the paths of silence and imprisonment burst forth.

The Stone's voice abruptly ceased!

Sealed, locked down!

Not a single sound was left for him to make, because the two found him noisy!

Ji Tian held the half of the great path and laughed, "The path of Stone is mediocre! I actually prefer my second grandfather's path. How about you swap with me, Su Yu? Stone is at least thirty-six paths, far stronger than my second grandfather!"

Su Yu smiled. "Fine, but only if you trade with your own path!"

"Forget it, then!"

The two chatted and laughed. And at that moment, with the death of the Stone, the entire great river trembled violently!

The colossal river was rapidly compressed!

At this moment, the Heavenly Gate and the Earthly Gate both took on the form of gateways!

Three great gates materialized across the heavens and the earth!

The aura of annihilation shook the cosmos.

The myriad realms trembled violently!

The sky split open, the earth shattered, and the Starry Sea crashed down from the heavens with a thunderous roar, countless waves sweeping across the world. In that instant, one by one, the realm passages shattered!

The entire battlefield of the myriad heavens could no longer remain as it was.

Above the battlefield, every structure was reduced to rubble.

The myriad realms sealed themselves in an instant.

Like the ebbing of a tide, a great wave engulfed the heavens and earth, turning the battlefield into a vast ocean, and all realm passages were closed.

Every law and rule of the Dao upon the battlefield was broken!

At that moment, across the heavens and earth, aside from the sealed myriad realms, every cultivator hidden anywhere on the battlefield—whether rogue cultivators, ancient beasts, or the myriad races—was crushed into dust by an immense, crushing pressure!

Screams of anguish echoed across the battlefield.

There were rogue cultivators, ancient beasts, and the myriad races!

Some had hoped to scavenge a few advantages on the battlefield, but now, with the descent of the Human Gate, the sealing of the realm passages, and the collapse of the Starry Sea, the entire battlefield had become a hellish inferno!

In that moment, aside from Su Yu and his companions, everyone else perished!

The sea was dyed red.

Many cultivators had been hiding on the battlefield—those bold and reckless enough to seek easy gains at such a time, for too many had died. Su Yu had slaughtered countless, and some Dao paths were left unguarded, allowing others to absorb their power and strengthen themselves. That was what many cultivators from the myriad realms had hoped to do.

But now, they had all turned to ash!

At that moment, the Heavenly Gate trembled violently, and above it, the great sun blazed brilliantly!

A long river was compressed between the Heavenly Gate and the Human Gate!

The Earthly Gate, as if bearing the weight of the river, roared and held it aloft in the middle!

The three gates converged, the long river compressed, and the myriad realms unified!

Yes, the myriad realms unified!

In that instant, the countless realms of the heavens began to squeeze together rapidly. The barriers of small realms shattered, merging with neighboring realms into one!

The River of Time grew shorter and shorter!

The Lord of the Dead and the others changed color, looking at Su Yu. The Human Emperor’s face was grave as he transmitted a message: “The three gates seem to be compressing the river. Should we stop them? Or perhaps, seize this moment to join forces and kill Jitian!”

The Heavenly and Earthly Gates had actually gone to compress the river!

Su Yu glanced at them, then shook his head, saying, “The seniors of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates are not fools. If they attacked now, the full force of the river would fall upon the attacker. Whoever strikes would bear the entire power of the river… We cannot withstand it!”

The voice of the Heavenly Gate came, tinged with amusement: “Su Yu, your insight is sharp!”

Clearly, he acknowledged Su Yu’s words.

This was also a trap.

At this moment, whoever made a move would bear the entire force of the river and the crushing pressure of the three gates. The three gates were mighty, and even if Su Yu and the Lord of the Dead attacked together, they would be crushed to pieces!

As for Jitian, he vanished in an instant, a smile on his face. He had already reached the end of the river, not attacking, but walking along the compressed river toward the Human Gate, sighing with emotion: “The Human Gate… has descended! Su Yu, wait for me a moment!”

As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of mirth: “All three gates have manifested. The era of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates has ended. The Human Gate… must also end!”

Su Yu’s expression shifted.

At that moment, a colossal gate appeared before everyone—sacred, majestic, and powerful!

But Jitian paid it no heed, vanishing directly into the gate. The next moment, from within the gate came a series of agonized screams.

The Human Emperor and the others all changed color!

The Heavenly and Earthly Gates let out muffled groans. The Earthly Gate’s voice was cold and harsh: “What a Jitian!”

Qiong was still absorbing the power of the Dao, and now asked in confusion, “He went in to kill?”

“Yes!”

The Lord of the Dead nodded slightly, then added gravely, “It’s not just killing. This Jitian has great ambition. He intends to devour the era of the Human Gate, to swallow all the cultivators within it…”

Qiong inhaled sharply: “So ruthless? Damn, you guys—every one of you talks about annihilating eras at the drop of a hat…”

Su Yu did the same, and so did Jitian!

But Su Yu said softly, “The era of the Human Gate… what era of the Human Gate?”

Everyone was taken aback.

Wan Tiansheng now spoke softly: “The Human Gate has no era! The Human Gate is only the gate itself. All beings within it are primal will—the flowing primal source of the myriad realms enters the Human Gate. The Human Gate holds only one person or one gate. All the great saints and all the beings of the Human Gate are formed from the convergence of primal source flows!”

The Lord of the Dead now understood, his tone heavy: “All primal source of the myriad realms that flows toward the future enters the Human Gate. The convergence of primal source forms the great saints of the Human Gate. It’s akin to a kind of spirit. So, Jitian… is the Human Gate? Or a composite born from the primal source of the myriad realms?”

Su Yu nodded: “He should be a composite born from the primal source of the myriad realms. The Earthly Gate must have known. In that era, when the Lord of Time opened the heavens, did the Human Gate truly have any beings? Could he not know?”

At that moment, the Earthly Gate’s cold voice rang out: “I did not know! I truly believed there were beings. Only now do I realize that what was sealed back then was indeed only the Human Gate!”

Jitian was formed from the flowing primal source of the myriad realms!

That was what made him terrifying!

And now, he had entered the Human Gate, absorbing the other primal source forces.

Qiong grew anxious: “Why is no one stopping him?”

“We cannot stop him!”

Wan Tiansheng suddenly spoke: “The Human Gate blocks us. He can flow in, but we cannot. The three gates are compressing the river. To force our way in now… we would have to bear the backlash of all three gates. Whoever enters will die!”

They could only watch helplessly!

Qiong was frantic: “If he devours those primal sources, what level will he reach?”

“Forty Dao, or perhaps stronger…”

Su Yu looked at the Human Gate, listening to the agonized screams within, and laughed: “Fortunately, we captured Yu beforehand. Otherwise, today would have been a true disaster. The strongest paths of the seven emotions and six desires have almost all been taken by us… But Wan Fuzhang will likely become his next target!”

“You can still laugh?”

Qiong was anxious for Su Yu!

How could you still be smiling?

Once Jitian succeeded, he would be at least forty Dao or more!

And the Heavenly and Earthly Gates seemed to be strengthening themselves as well, both advancing toward forty Dao.

Qiong, of course, was rapidly absorbing all the power around him, now at thirty-nine Dao, but forty Dao might still be out of reach.

He, Su Yu, and the Lord of the Dead were all at thirty-nine Dao.

The others, like the Human Emperor, were at thirty-six Dao.

Though they outnumbered the enemy in quantity, three of their own were about to reach forty Dao. Was Su Yu not worried at all?

“Worrying is useless!”

Su Yu shook his head. “They have schemed for years, waiting for this moment. If they weren’t confident of success, do you think they would have held back before? They’ve been waiting for this!”

“That…”

But we have to try anyway!

As they spoke, the blue sky vanished!

And Wan Tiansheng let out a laugh, then disappeared in an instant.

One merged into the River of Time, the other into the Gate of Humanity.

Then the Gate of Heaven’s cold voice rang out: “Su Yu, you expect them to seize the River with us… Do you think it’s that simple?”

Their intentions were clear at a glance!

One sought to claim the River, the other the Gate of Humanity.

But after eons of preparation, would they lose to these two?

Impossible!

At that moment, the Lord of the Dead suddenly looked at Su Yu, a hint of resolve in his eyes: “I want to try!”

Su Yu’s expression shifted slightly!

The Lord of the Dead said gravely, “I want to try!”

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

“Realm of the Dead!”

With a low shout, deathly energy swept across heaven and earth. In that instant, the whole world turned to darkness, death qi seethed, and suddenly the world transformed into a Great Path of the Dead. The Lord of the Dead roared and instantly merged into that path!

The path soared into the sky, plunging toward the River!

“In ages past, I drew the death qi from the River to form the Realm of the Dead. Today, the Realm of the Dead returns to the River… I too wish to see who can master the River!”

The Great Path of the Dead had originally been extracted from the River.

The Lord of the Dead had always wanted to devour the River; he had harbored that thought for a very long time. At this moment, he no longer waited, no longer held back.

He chose to return to the River, to become a part of it, to merge with it and swallow the entire River!

Boom!

The whole River erupted into chaos in an instant. The Gate of Heaven and the Gate of Earth could not help but curse!

This madman!

The Lord of the Dead was also a madman. At this moment, knowing full well the danger, he still chose to merge his realm into the River!

But Su Yu only sighed.

He said nothing—this was the Lord of the Dead’s choice. That primordial, supreme being had never abandoned his dream.

To devour the River, to meet the Lord of Time, and to settle the score with him!

Perhaps it was only a fantasy, but he had pursued it, persisted through countless ages—this was his faith!

And so, in that moment, Su Yu did not stop him.

Nor could he!

This being, whose talent and genius were terrifyingly immense, was unshaken by anything else. The Lord of the Dead had persisted for eons not for any other reason, but to contend with the Lord of Time!

Today, with the River compressed, he would not abandon his long-cherished dream. Even if Su Yu said he would help, he was unwilling to wait any longer!
