Chapter 125 The Dark Battlefield, The Gate Devourer
Above the White Pagoda.
Qin Xuanxiao burned the true meaning of mountains and rivers.
That once barren and imposing territory began to gradually turn crimson gold.
Crimson lines spread across the barren mountain.
In the dried-up river, light seemed to flow like lava.
That dim, yellowish sun gradually transformed from a twilight-like dark yellow into a dazzling crimson gold.
The pressure from those who were granted the title of Marquis in the middle stage was raised once again.
Outside the ruins of the White Pagoda, everyone felt the suffocating oppression.
Qin Xuanxiao is damaging his Dao foundation.
He wasn't just angry in a normal way.
Rather, they truly intended to suppress and kill the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator here.
But the bottom of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
Lin Yuan glanced at the changes above and then withdrew his attention.
No matter how strong Qin Xuanxiao is, he is only an enemy in the open.
After obtaining the projection of the Star Body Skeleton, Blood Shadow was able to hold him off for a short period of time.
The real danger lies in the giant, eerie blue eye before us.
A fragment of a king-level sect bone hung beneath Lin Yuan's palm.
It has been cracked in several places.
From each crack, a rich, eerie blue light surged out.
That's not just simple energy.
It is a mixture of the rules behind the gate, remnants of the old battlefield, and fragments of the gate master's will.
Even the slightest touch would drive an ordinary martial artist mad.
Even a powerful figure who has been granted the title of Marquis could have their soul corrupted if they inhale a wisp of it.
But Lin Yuan was holding it with one hand, forcibly swallowing and refining it.
The Ultimate Star Furnace rotated within his body.
The roar grew deeper and deeper.
After breaking the 700,000 mark, his body seemed to have a completely new supporting structure.
The star-shaped markings within the skeleton are connected.
Blood was like a dark gold galaxy.
Every inch of muscle can withstand even more violent energy surges.
But even this wisp of the sect leader's will is no ordinary thing.
A giant, deep blue eye looked down into the forest.
The voice was no longer just indifferent as before.
There was a touch more genuine scrutiny.
"The Gate Swallower".
"You think that by eating the door bone, you can control the door?"
Lin Yuan applied slight pressure with his palm.
Click.
Another thin crack appeared in the broken bone fragment.
"I have no interest in mastering it."
"My job is just to eat."
boom!
The Extreme Star Furnace suddenly accelerated.
More residual blue energy flowed into Lin Yuan's body through his palm.
The moment those residual energies entered the flesh and blood, they transformed into countless tiny door shadows.
Each doorway seemed to be trying to crack open inside him.
Some burrow into the bone marrow.
Some rush towards the heart.
Some flow along the blood and qi towards the center of the eyebrows.
They are not like poison.
More like tiny seed pods.
Once it takes root, it will open a doorway inside the body.
But the next moment.
The dark gold qi and blood in Lin Yuan's body collapsed inward.
The Ultimate Star Furnace crashed down with a deafening roar.
Before those species could even take root, they were dragged into the depths of the Star Furnace, strand by strand.
Remove contaminants.
Crushing the rules.
Compressing residual energy.
Then it sinks into the Qi and blood.
A system notification appears.
[Detected residual energy at the King-level gate bone]
[Residual power of the sect leader's will detected]
[Removing contaminants from behind high-rise building doors]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 703000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 705000]
The improvement wasn't fast.
It was even slower than Lin Yuan had anticipated.
After 700,000 compressions, the energy required for each compression has increased to a new level.
Even a fragment of a King-level sect bone and a wisp of the sect master's will could not cause him to surge like before.
But this energy is pure enough.
High enough.
It can continue to temper the ultimate star body.
Lin Yuan could feel that the star patterns deep within his bones were becoming more stable.
The star pattern is no longer just shiny.
Instead, it began to sink.
Each star pattern is like a channel that can carry the source energy behind the door.
He finally understood the true meaning of the Ultimate Star Body.
It's not about making your body stiff.
Instead, it allows him to swallow heavier, more dangerous, and higher-level things.
The sect leader's voice rang out again:
"Your body is adapting to the door."
Within the giant, deep blue eye, even more light seemed to be gathering.
The more you adapt, the closer you get to the door.
"There will come a moment when you become part of the door."
Lin Yuan looked up.
You're overthinking it.
"The door is yours."
"The energy is mine."
The sect leader's will remained silent for a moment.
Then, the entire sealed well suddenly trembled.
The surrounding well walls disappeared.
No.
It didn't disappear.
Instead, it was Lin Yuan's consciousness that was forcibly dragged into another space by the sect leader's wisp of will.
Countless door shadows appeared from all directions.
One door after another.
Layer upon layer.
There is no end in sight.
Different sounds emanated from behind each door.
There was a sound of crying.
There was laughter.
There were whispers.
There was a sound like bones rubbing against the ground.
There was the sound of countless disciples kneeling and chanting.
The sounds blended together, like a sea made of doors.
Lin Yuan stood amidst the myriad gates.
There was no ground beneath my feet.
There was no sky above.
Only countless doors slowly opened towards him at the same time.
The sect leader's voice came simultaneously from behind all the doors:
"The Gate Swallower".
"You swallowed a door."
"It will also be swallowed by the door."
boom!
A door suddenly opened.
From behind the door, a huge skeletal hand reached out and grabbed at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and threw a punch.
The dark gold energy directly shattered the bone hand.
The second door opened.
Black water poured in.
Countless faces floated in the water, each one calling his name.
Lin Yuan took a step down.
The forbidden realm of the ultimate path unfolds.
The black water was forced back into the doorway.
The third door.
The fourth door.
The fifth door.
More and more doors opened at the same time.
The things behind the door surged in like a tide.
Lin Yuan did not back down.
He didn't even glance at it.
Every time he opened a door, he smashed it to pieces.
Each time a stream of contamination surged out from behind the gate, he would use the Extreme Dao Star Furnace to absorb and refine it.
There are too many doors.
Endless.
The sect leader's intention was not to kill Lin Yuan using these things.
Instead, we need to make him understand:
Behind the door lies endlessness.
You can swallow a fan.
Swallow ten fans.
Swallow a hundred fans.
But you can't swallow all the doors.
All the doors shook simultaneously.
The sect leader's voice was deep:
You can't protect the people you want to protect.
"You can't eat all the doors."
"One day, the door will open to her."
next moment.
A white corridor emerged amidst the myriad doors.
Lin Xiaoya stood at the end of the corridor.
The red lotus fire pattern on the forehead is faint.
A silver-white observation ring hung above her head.
Countless people in white robes surrounded her.
The sect leader's enormous, dark blue eyes appeared in the black door behind her.
Lin Xiaoya seemed to see Lin Yuan, and cried out:
"elder brother……"
Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks.
The sect leader's will seemed to have caught a sliver of an opening.
Countless shadowy doors pressed down on his consciousness simultaneously.
"look."
"You will also experience fear."
"You will too—"
Before he could finish speaking...
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
He smashed the white corridor with a single punch.
Lin Xiaoya's hallucination.
Observe the illusion of the ring.
The illusion of the man in the white robe.
Everything shattered.
The sect leader's will paused for a moment.
Lin Yuan looked up, his eyes cold and unwavering.
"Fake."
"My sister won't just stand there and wait to die."
"And there will be no one to save us."
He took a step forward.
Dark gold energy emanated from beneath his feet.
The space of Wanmen suddenly sank.
"You're trying to scare me with fake stuff."
"That means your willpower is just like this."
boom!
The forbidden domain of the ultimate path unfolded completely among all the gates.
This time, it's not just thirty meters or eighty meters.
Instead, it pressed down on the countless shadowy gates surrounding Lin Yuan, with Lin Yuan at the center.
Any doorway that entered the forbidden zone began to distort violently.
The door was sewn shut.
The whispers behind the door disappeared.
The dark blue patterns on the door were crushed by the dark gold blood energy.
For the first time, the sect leader actively withdrew part of the sect's shadow.
Its voice became lower:
"You are not fighting for the common people."
Lin Yuan continued forward.
"common people?"
"I'm not familiar with it."
"All I know is that whoever touches her dies."
The sect leader remained silent for a moment.
Then, the giant, dark blue eye turned.
No longer just looking at Lin Yuan.
Instead, they looked further afield.
Look towards the Starry Courtyard.
He looked at Lin Xiaoya in his dream.
"Then her."
"Then you should return home even more."
Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Inside the sealed well.
Reality and consciousness overlap.
A wisp of dark blue light suddenly pierced through the fragment of the door bone beneath Lin Yuan's palm.
They ceased their attack on Lin Yuan.
Instead, they followed the dream anchor marks left by the old ring array of the White Pagoda and headed towards the Starry Courtyard.
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 changed its expression drastically.
"It's turning towards Xiaoya!"
"It discovered that Xiaoya is a better fit as an anchor than the incisor!"
The base of the White Pagoda.
Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.
He did not loosen his jawline.
Instead, they clasped their fingers even tighter.
"Trying to leave?"
Click!
He squeezed the broken pieces of the door frame until they cracked again.
The Extreme Star Furnace spun at full speed, and an even heavier stream of dark gold blood energy followed the wisp of dark blue light in the opposite direction.
"Did I give you permission?"
A system notification appears.
[Detection of a split in the sect leader's will]
[Dream anchor point shift detected]
[Target: Lin Xiaoya]
[The Cleansing Gatekeeper's Dream Protection Triggered]
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya appeared in my dream again.
This time, she did not stand in the white corridor.
Instead, he stood before a huge black door.
Behind the door, a giant, deep blue eye slowly opened.
Subject Number One stood in front of her, his figure almost transparent.
"Don't be afraid."
Her voice was very soft.
"Remember what I said."
"You are not the road."
"You are the lock."
Lin Xiaoya's face was pale.
But she did not back down.
Because she sensed it.
My brother was very, very far away when he grabbed that eye.
That eye wanted to see her.
But my brother wouldn't allow it.
Lin Xiaoya clenched her fists tightly.
The red lotus fire pattern on her forehead lit up.
At the same time, next to the Crimson Lotus Fire Pattern, a very faint white line began to take shape for the first time.
She looked at the enormous, dark blue eye behind the door, her voice trembling but resolute.
"I won't let you pass."
The black gate trembled.
The pale blue light suddenly stopped.
The base of the White Pagoda.
The flow of the sect leader's will was briefly halted by this white pattern.
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold.
Seize this moment.
Suddenly, the five fingers exerted force.
A piece of dark blue residual energy was forcibly torn from that wisp of the sect master's will.
The Ultimate Star Furnace swallowed it up with a roar.
The system is displaying a notification.
[The remnant energy of the sect master's will was successfully absorbed.]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 708000]
For the first time, a true chill emerged from the depths of the giant blue eye.
"Those who are pure in their ways."
"More complete than the first lock."
Lin Yuan looked up, his palm still pressing down on the bone with dark gold energy.
"Have you seen enough?"
"Then come back."
"You haven't finished your meal."
