Chapter 159 Eight Asuras, Bronze Coffin
"Don't stop."
"I'm still not full."
The sound faded.
The outer ring of the main star gate was deathly silent for a moment.
The bronze gatekeeper stood amidst the azure tide of gates, his halberd still trembling.
The dark gold mark on the halberd, which Lin Yuan had forcefully scratched, was only half a foot long, but it was like an indelible wound.
The door patterns surged again and again.
I want to fix it.
However, whenever the azure light touched the dark gold mark, it would be torn apart by some residual devouring power.
The repair speed is extremely slow.
Lin Yuan actually bit into its weapon body.
It even completely swallowed that wisp of door pattern into its body.
The bronze gatekeeper slowly rotated the four false peepholes.
It did not immediately continue swinging its halberd.
A human capable of devouring attacks can no longer be dealt with in the usual way.
The halberd's light will be swallowed up.
The door pattern will be swallowed up.
Willpower will be consumed.
Even the gaze that peers at him could become the path for him to lock onto the body behind the door.
The Bronze Gatekeeper was encountering this kind of enemy for the first time.
It stood still, the oppressive aura emanating from behind the gate, which was at the half-step King level, continuously descending.
The two dark blue anchors are becoming increasingly connected to the main gate behind them.
Chains appeared from the void, penetrating its shoulder armor, breastplate, and spine.
Zhou Xuanheng's expression changed drastically when he saw the door chains.
"Cease the attack!"
Zhenxinghou had already raised his battle sword, but paused upon hearing this.
Why?
Zhou Xuanheng stared at the back of the bronze goalkeeper.
"It's shrinking the projection."
"It's not about withdrawing."
"It is concentrating all the power of the two anchors on itself."
The bronze gatekeeper will no longer repair the door patterns on its legs, nor will it heed the bombardment from the Zhenxing Army's turrets.
It allowed the star-shaped threads to wrap around its legs.
They allowed Zhenxinghou and Qinzhu to attack the arm armor nodes.
All the power behind the door was converging towards his chest.
This is not abandoning the defense.
Instead, they are preparing an even more dangerous killing move.
Zhou Xuanheng shouted sternly:
"The star cruiser should retreat three hundred feet!"
"All combat personnel below the rank of Marquis, retreat to the second line of defense!"
"It's going to open the portal!"
The twelve patrolling star guards quickly changed formation.
The silver-black star law net no longer forcibly tightened, but instead expanded outward to protect the outer ring main array eye and the retreating Zhenxing Army.
Marquis Zhenxing glanced at Zhou Xuanheng.
This time there were no questions.
The General Administration's records of the Star Gate anomaly are ultimately more complete than those of Longyuan City.
A sect that Zhou Xuanheng is so wary of must be extraordinary.
The bronze gatekeeper's chest.
The real door, which had been half-closed, slowly cracked open a crack.
But it didn't look at Lin Yuan.
Deep within the doorway, the eerie blue light collapsed inward.
It's as if a heavy, ancient door is opening within it.
"The Gate Swallower".
"I will no longer give you anything to swallow."
The bronze gatekeeper raised his halberd.
The halberd did not strike.
Instead, it plunged heavily into the void beneath its feet.
Boom!
A dark blue ring pattern radiates outwards from the halberd.
Where the ring pattern passed, reality seemed to be covered by a layer of bronze.
The silvery-white tide solidified.
The lines of the star pattern lost their luster.
Even the night sky above the outer ring of the main star gate showed huge bronze gate fragments.
The first piece.
The second piece.
The third piece.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of bronze door panels closed around Lin Yuan.
They are not attacks.
Instead, they are building a door.
A closed door with the void as its frame, two anchors as its lock, and the will of the bronze gatekeeper as its core.
Lin Yuan stood in the very center.
Just as the blood shadow was about to approach, a bronze door panel suddenly fell down in front of it, separating it from its main body.
boom!
Blood Shadow slammed his fist into the door.
Dark gold energy exploded.
The door vibrated violently, but did not shatter immediately.
Because this is not a single piece of armor.
Rather, it is part of the entire Bronze Gate Domain.
If one piece is broken, the power of the two anchors behind it will immediately fill in the gap with the other piece.
Zhou Xuanheng's pupils contracted.
"Bronze Boundary".
Marquis Zhenxing asked in a deep voice:
"What is it?"
"The banishment method for goalkeeper-level beings."
Zhou Xuanheng spoke extremely quickly.
"It's no longer engaging Lin Yuan in direct combat."
"It intends to imprison Lin Yuan in an independent domain, and then use the main sect to banish him to the back of the sect."
Qin Zhu's expression changed slightly.
"Exiled behind the door?"
Zhou Xuanheng said:
"Once the Bronze Gate Domain closes, the rules of reality and the rules of the Star Gate will be completely severed."
"People from outside can't get in."
"The people inside can't get out either."
"Ultimately, the entire gate domain will be dragged back deep into the main gate by the two anchors."
Marquis Zhenxing immediately drew his sword.
"Then cut it open before it closes!"
The three powerful figures who had been granted the title of Marquis made their move at the same time.
Zhenxinghou slashed at the west side of the door with his battle blade.
The Qin Candle Mountain and River Candle Seal suppressed from above.
Zhou Xuanheng then activated the Star Law Domain, attempting to pin down one of the gaps before the door panels completely closed.
Boom boom boom!
The bronze gate area trembled violently.
Large pieces of rust fell off the door panel.
But the gate did not stop closing.
Conversely, the two anchors behind the bronze gatekeeper become even brighter.
Whenever a crack appears in the door panel, a new azure door pattern descends from the main star door and stitches it back together.
The bronze gatekeeper spoke in a low voice:
"The power of reality".
"The coffin inside the gate cannot be shaken."
The last four words fell.
Hundreds of bronze door panels simultaneously contracted towards the center.
From a distance, it looks like a giant bronze coffin standing in the sky.
Lin Yuan stood inside the coffin.
……
Inner ring of Longyuan Academy.
Countless people turned pale.
Just now, Lin Yuan swallowed the light of the bronze gatekeeper's halberd one after another, and even tore off the gate pattern from the halberd itself, making everyone think that he had gained the upper hand.
But in the blink of an eye, the Bronze Gatekeeper changed his tactics.
He no longer resorted to brute force to clash with Lin Yuan.
It also no longer gave him the opportunity to devour and attack.
Just open the door.
Boundary sealing.
exile.
Song Li stared anxiously at the ever-shrinking gap in the bronze door, her voice trembling with worry.
Why hasn't Lin Yuan come out yet?
"That door is about to close!"
Ji Qinghe was also watching.
Her face was also pale.
But she noticed something.
Lin Yuan did not rush towards the crack in the door.
They didn't let Blood Shadow desperately break through the door.
He didn't even show the slightest sign of panic.
He simply stood in the center of the bronze gate domain, watching the surrounding gate panels fall one by one.
They were as calm as if they were waiting.
Ji Qinghe murmured:
"He doesn't want to come out."
Song Li suddenly turned her head.
"What?"
Ji Qinghe stared at the figure that was about to be completely obscured by the bronze door panel.
"It's not that we can't get out."
"He never intended to come out in the first place."
……
The Qin family's tall building.
Qin Guanlan also saw this.
Qin Zhu was still bombarding the Bronze Gate Domain from a distance.
However, Qin Guanlan did not order the Qin Clan Star Guards to approach.
There's no point in sending Star Armor Guards into this level of confrontation.
He simply looked at Lin Yuan within the gate.
"What is he waiting for?"
The Qin family elder beside him spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Young Master, if what Zhou Xunxing said is true, once the gate closes, Lin Yuan will be dragged behind it."
Why doesn't he leave?
Qin Guanlan did not answer.
Because he didn't know either.
But he knew that Lin Yuan was definitely not scared out of his wits.
A person who dares to grab the half-step King-Sealing Halberd with one hand will not lose his judgment at this moment.
The only explanation is—
Lin Yuan wanted to go in.
The moment the idea popped into Qin Guanlan's head, he felt it was crazy.
In reality, all powerful beings are preventing the existence behind the door from descending.
Lin Yuan might want to go behind the door on his own initiative?
That's the home ground of the bronze goalkeeper.
Furthermore, the sect leader's will exists.
Even if Lin Yuan possessed the ability to devour gates, this action was practically suicidal.
But Qin Guanlan soon remembered what Lin Yuan had said before he stepped into the fray.
Main meal.
He regarded the bronze gatekeeper as food.
Now the gatekeeper wants to take him closer to the back of the gate.
For ordinary people, that would be exile.
What about Lin Yuan?
Qin Guanlan said in a low voice:
"It thought it was caged its prey."
"Maybe……"
"It's opening the kitchen."
The elder next to him didn't understand.
But behind Qin Guanlan, a fine layer of cold sweat had already appeared.
……
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
Gu Changye did not laugh.
He frowned, a rare occurrence for him.
A black notebook lay open in front of him, but he hesitated to write anything.
The subordinate asked nervously:
"Sir, why isn't Lin Yuan breaking down the door?"
"The Bronze Gate is about to close."
Gu Changye stared at the battlefield projection.
"Because breaking down the goal is not the optimal solution."
His subordinate was taken aback.
"Then what is it?"
Gu Changye's eyes gradually brightened.
"The bronze goalkeeper dared not attack him again."
"Therefore, we will use the gate-based exile method instead."
"But what is this gate itself made of?"
The subordinate tentatively said:
"Two anchors of strength, bronze door panels, the goalkeeper's will..."
Gu Changye nodded slowly.
"right."
"These are all things Lin Yuan wants to eat."
"There are three layers outside: the bronze gatekeeper, the second anchor, and the main gate. He can only tear it apart little by little."
"And once you've entered the gate realm?"
The pupils of his subordinates gradually dilated.
Gu Changye picked up his pen and wrote:
The bronze gate closed.
The Bronze Gatekeeper's decision: Isolate the attack and banish the gate-swallower.
Lin Yuan judged: Actively approach the two anchors and the main body behind the door.
He stopped writing at this point.
"The only problem now is..."
"Can Lin Yuan survive in this coffin before the sect completely drags him down?"
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya stood in front of the courtyard gate.
She could sense that her brother was being surrounded by a very large door.
The white lock pattern remains weak.
I couldn't help him close the door.
She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, but neither cried out nor shed a tear.
Because Lin Yuan said that before he left.
Close the door properly.
Wait for him to come back.
She had to trust her brother.
However, as the bronze gate continued to close, the lock mark on Lin Xiaoya's forehead suddenly moved slightly.
It's not about restoring strength.
It is more of an instinctive feeling.
She sensed that the bronze coffin door wasn't simply being closed.
It is moving behind the door.
The distance between my brother and reality is growing.
Lin Xiaoya's face turned even whiter.
"elder brother……"
Just as she was about to raise her hand to touch the lock pattern, a voice rang out directly in her consciousness.
"Don't move."
It is Lin Yuan.
It remained calm.
There was no panic.
Lin Xiaoya's hand stopped.
"But you're going to be taken away."
"Um."
"Then how will you come back?"
After a brief silence.
Lin Yuan's voice rang out again.
"I'll be back after I finish eating."
Lin Xiaoya was stunned.
Then slowly lowered his hand.
She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
"it is good."
"I'm waiting for you."
……
Within the Bronze Gate Domain.
All external sounds are rapidly disappearing.
The 197th door panel fell.
The 198th piece.
The 199th piece.
Only one narrow gap remained around Lin Yuan.
Through the gap, he could see Zhou Xuanheng nailing the door frame with star-shaped thread.
The Marquis of Zhenxing's battle blade struck the same spot time and time again.
Qin Zhu's Mountain and River Candle Seal has developed large cracks.
Blood Shadow stood closest to the gate, his star soul projection flickering silently beneath his dark gold mask.
Lin Yuan looked at the Blood Shadow.
No words are needed.
Blood Shadow stopped attacking.
He then stood outside the gate.
Gatekeeper.
To prevent the swarm of door-hole insects from taking advantage of the main body's temporary absence to bypass the defenses and attack the star-owned courtyard.
Zhou Xuanheng's expression changed drastically when he saw Xueying suddenly stop.
"Lin Yuan!"
"Once the gate closes, we can no longer break it open from the outside!"
Lin Yuan glanced at him.
"Then don't break it."
Zhou Xuanheng was taken aback.
Marquis Zhenxing also paused for a moment.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Yuan did not answer.
He simply raised his right hand and placed it on a bronze door panel beside him.
Icy.
heavy.
Inside the door panel, there are only the purest bronze door patterns and residual energy of the two anchors.
The Extreme Star Furnace reacted immediately.
[Contact with the core structure of the Bronze Gate Domain]
The Bronze Gate Domain is composed of the goalkeeper's will, the second anchor point, and the projection of the main gate.
[Can be consumed and refined]
[WARNING: After the door closes, you will enter the mezzanine behind the door]
[Warning: There is a risk of being spied on by a higher-level being from the mezzanine behind the door.]
The dark golden starry sky in Lin Yuan's eyes slowly rotated.
A higher level of will.
It is closer to the second anchor.
It is also closer to the true trajectory of the bronze gatekeeper.
Just right.
He pressed his five fingers against the bronze door panel.
The dark gold energy seeped in silently.
Inside the door panel, the first dark blue door pattern was quietly stained black.
A system notification appears.
[Begin refining the Bronze Gate Domain]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 838000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 842000]
It's just the outermost two door patterns.
This resulted in seven thousand compressions.
Lin Yuan finally made up his mind.
This coffin is heavier than the bronze halberd.
He looked up at the top of the gate.
The bronze gatekeeper was looking down at him through the last gap.
For the first time, a cold mockery appeared in the eyes of the four fake doors.
"The Gate Swallower".
"Beginner".
"They are all servants."
Lin Yuan looked at it.
"Yeah?"
The last bronze door panel fell with a crash.
Boom-!
The bronze coffin door was completely closed.
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared from the real battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, the entire coffin began to fade into nothingness.
The two blue anchors burst forth with unprecedented light.
Chains wrapped around the giant bronze coffin, dragging it deeper into the main star gate.
On the outer battlefield, countless people were deathly pale.
"Lin Yuan has been locked up!"
"The coffin door is disappearing!"
"It's going to drag Lin Yuan behind the door!"
Zhou Xuanheng activated his Star Law Domain, and hundreds of silver and black chains tightly bound the bronze coffin.
Zhenxinghou also nailed the coffin to the bottom with a single blow.
Qin Zhu activated the broken Mountain and River Candle Seal, pressing down the door chain.
However, the entire bronze coffin continued to rise little by little towards the main gate.
The bronze gatekeeper spoke in a low voice:
"The Gate Swallower".
"He has returned to the gate."
The voice just fell.
A very slight tremor suddenly came from inside the bronze coffin.
thump.
It was as if someone inside the coffin had knocked on the door.
The bronze gatekeeper's four fake eyes paused simultaneously.
Followed by.
The second sound rang out.
Boom!
This time, it's heavier.
A dark blue pattern on the surface of the coffin door suddenly went dark.
Then, it was replaced from the inside by a streak of dark gold.
The Bronze Goalkeeper's voice changed for the first time.
"What are you doing?"
Inside the coffin.
Boundless darkness.
Lin Yuan stood in the center of the dense bronze door patterns.
Eight Asura battle marks slowly lit up from his spine, shoulders, and limbs.
Above the first stage of the Ultimate Battle Body.
A more ferocious and heavy atmosphere began to awaken.
Phase Two.
The Eightfold Asura Body.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and dug his five fingers into the bronze door in front of him.
Dark gold energy spread wildly throughout the entire interior of the coffin.
The Extreme Star Furnace accelerated dramatically.
System prompts appeared one after another.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 846000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 851000]
Lin Yuan looked at the trace of the Bronze Gatekeeper's will outside the coffin, his voice calm.
"Lock me in here."
"Weren't you asking me to eat it?"
