Chapter 3118: The Gate of Eternal Life, Gone?
Peerless Medicine God · 第3118章 永生之门，没了？
Creak...
That ancient, weathered gate slowly opened.
Endless power of the Great Way poured forth.
Under the flood of this power of the Great Way, Blood Stone Ancestor's Blood Way seemed as weak as an infant.
The eternal Gate of Eternal Life, for the first time, revealed a glimpse of itself before the people.
Endless darkness, as if sealing everything.
What lay within, no one knew.
But without a doubt, it was an unreachable world.
"The Gate of Eternal Life within the chaos is the source of the Great Way! It seems the Heavenly Dao is about to confront Ye Yuan head-on! This time, he absolutely cannot escape alive!"
Seeing this power that made even him bow in worship, Blood Stone Ancestor's heart surged with excitement.
Ye Yuan's power filled him with fear.
If Ye Yuan truly could survive the Cataclysmic Tribulation, then he would surely die without a burial place.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao was strong enough!
Ye Yuan looked at the slowly opening Gate of Eternal Life, a cold smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
His aura suddenly surged!
Step Five of Heaven-Stepping!
Puff puff puff...
The intensity of this aura spread directly for thousands of miles.
Those Blood Clan members swept by this aura were instantly annihilated!
Blood Stone Ancestor's expression changed drastically; with a sweep of his sleeve, he led the Blood Clan retreating another thousand miles!
But Ye Yuan's aura was still madly climbing, as if to stand against the endless Great Way surging from the Gate of Eternal Life!
"This... what kind of freak is this guy? This Heaven-Stepping Five Steps is unimaginably powerful! Could it be that he truly has the strength to contend with the Heavenly Dao?" Yi Xue gasped, saying.
Under Ye Yuan's Heaven-Stepping Five Steps, he had no other thoughts but to tremble.
Ye Yuan's power had surpassed everyone's understanding.
They knew in their hearts that once this fifth step was unleashed, even the Ancestor... would probably not be worth a glance!
The giant figure behind Ye Yuan gradually solidified!
At the same time, the Gate of Eternal Life fully opened!
That endless darkness was like an ancient beast baring its ferocious fangs.
"Look, what is that!"
"Something is coming out of the Gate of Eternal Life!"
"It's a sword! Not good, run!"
...
A giant sword slowly emerged from the Gate of Eternal Life.
As the giant sword appeared, endless sword energy wildly scattered, launching indiscriminate attacks on everything in the space.
The Blood Clan powerhouses instantly fell into endless despair.
The aura emanating from this giant sword meant death upon contact.
Whoosh!
A sword energy spread out, and a realm above the Ganges River was directly split in two!
That was the Abyss Penetrating Primordial Heaven!
A flash of excitement crossed Blood Stone Ancestor's face!
"This is the Sword of Heavenly Punishment! I want to see whether Ye Yuan is stronger or the Sword of Heavenly Punishment!"
Ye Yuan sneered and roared, "Five steps tread the sky dome; my fate is mine, not heaven's!"
Boom!
Ye Yuan stamped his foot, and the giant behind him also stamped fiercely.
The Ganges Chaos instantly fell into frenzy.
Endless chaotic force stirred up towering waves, scattering in all directions.
At this moment, the entire chaotic space trembled!
Seeing this, Blood Stone Ancestor's facial muscles twitched.
Treading the sky dome was no empty talk!
This stamp was like Ye Yuan's roar against fate, his indignation at heaven's injustice!
This stamp told the story of Ye Yuan's entire life of defying heaven!
A shocking aura soared straight up, directly meeting the Sword of Heavenly Punishment without dodging!
As if sensing Ye Yuan's rebellious act, the Sword of Heavenly Punishment burst forth with ten thousand rays of light.
The power of the Great Way surged wildly!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Throughout the entire Thirty-Three Heavens, the Great Way collapsed, and all heavens crumbled!
This was the Sword of Heavenly Punishment; this was the Cataclysmic Tribulation!
Of course, those scattered powers of the Great Way were merely collateral damage.
The vast majority of the power was focused on Ye Yuan!
The blooming light transformed into ten thousand strands of Great Way sword light, slashing at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's momentum was wildly suppressed under these ten thousand strands of Great Way sword light.
That soaring momentum grew slower and slower.
The Great Way sword light was consumed madly.
And Ye Yuan's momentum was equally consumed madly.
Two supremely powerful forces collided, canceling each other out.
Everyone present had their hearts in their throats, watching this scene in awe.
Puff!
Overwhelmed, Ye Yuan finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Blood Stone and Wutian were overjoyed.
Then, Ye Yuan's momentum was actually suppressed!
However, the two were still canceling each other out wildly.
But the Sword of Heavenly Punishment was too strong!
Ye Yuan's figure was gradually pressed down.
Crack crack crack...
Countless fissures appeared on the boundary wall of the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven.
If he retreated further, the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven would be finished!
The realm behind him could not withstand such terrifying power.
"Die! Die! Die!" Blood Stone clenched his fists, gnashing his teeth.
Ye Yuan struggled desperately to steady himself, refusing to retreat.
But the heavy pressure of the Sword of Heavenly Punishment still pressed him down bit by bit.
Ye Yuan's blood vessels burst, blood spurting wildly.
But he refused to retreat half a step!
Mi Tian and others turned their faces away, unable to bear watching this scene.
They knew that Ye Yuan was doing this for their sake!
After who knows how long, the Sword of Heavenly Punishment's power was exhausted, slowly retreating into the Gate of Eternal Life.
Ye Yuan's body fell weakly onto the boundary wall, blood staining it red.
"He actually made it through! What a terrifying fellow! The Sword of Heavenly Punishment was so fearsome, definitely possessing the power to destroy the world, yet he blocked it!" Wutian watched this scene, his face full of shock.
But Blood Stone sneered, "So what if he blocked it? There are still two final Cataclysmic Tribulations, and his trump cards are exhausted! The next tribulation, he will surely die!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This time, no one doubted it anymore.
Clearly, Ye Yuan had reached his limit and could not possibly have the strength to withstand the next tribulation!
"How terrifying! This guy actually passed thirty-one Cataclysmic Tribulations in one go!"
"I thought he could only survive ten tribulations, but I never expected him to hold out this far!"
"Regardless, this guy will go down in history!"
...
Under the Sword of Heavenly Punishment, the Blood Clan suffered heavy casualties.
The survivors were all shaken, astonished by Ye Yuan's power.
The Gate of Eternal Life was very quiet, as if brewing an even stronger strike.
These last three tribulations had surpassed everyone's imagination.
What exactly the Sword of Heavenly Punishment was, no one knew!
Even though it appeared openly before people.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Gate of Eternal Life finally stirred again.
Blood Stone and others held their breath, anticipating the thirty-second tribulation that would deliver the fatal blow to Ye Yuan.
In that half quarter of an hour, Ye Yuan finally recovered some strength and slowly got up.
A giant cauldron slowly emerged from the Gate of Eternal Life.
The giant cauldron was immense, blotting out the sky!
When its body fully flew out, it even enveloped the entire Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven, giving an extremely oppressive feeling.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
The three of Blood Stone were directly sent flying by the immense pressure, blood spurting from their mouths!
The appearance of this giant cauldron was not as sharp as the Sword of Heavenly Punishment.
It was only heavy pressure!
Crushing everything!
This heavy pressure was not directed at Blood Stone and the others, yet they were sent flying from such a distance, showing how great the pressure was!
Under the heavy pressure, the boundary wall of the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven could no longer bear it and directly collapsed.
Space shattered; Mi Tian and other powerhouses were directly pressed to the ground, unable to move.
Blood Stone Ancestor, sent flying, laughed loudly, "Ye Yuan, you are remarkable! Throughout the ages, no one has ever reached your level! The thirty-second Cataclysmic Tribulation, I'm afraid from now on, no one will ever achieve it! But, this is the end! The Heavenly Dao cannot be defied! You, accept your death!"
At this moment, Ye Yuan still stood stubbornly, refusing to bow his head.
His body seemed to bear ten thousand mountains, making it hard for him to breathe.
Facing Blood Stone Ancestor's taunts, he said disdainfully, "You are merely a dog of the Heavenly Dao; what right do you have to bark here? This is the end? Hah, I, Ye Yuan, never accept fate!"
In Blood Stone Ancestor's view, this was Ye Yuan's final struggle.
The roar of a lowly being meant nothing.
"Haha, with the Heaven-Stepping Five Steps exhausted, your momentum is spent! I'd love to see how you plan to defy heaven!" Blood Stone sneered.
"Is that so? Then... watch closely! Ten thousand thoughts... return to their posts!"
A sudden storm arose around Ye Yuan.
The storm grew larger and larger, forming a massive vortex.
As if attracted by the vortex, countless star-like points of light gathered towards it.
Points of light rapidly merged into the vortex, making it larger and larger.
Back then, Ye Yuan transformed his one thought into ten thousand, flowing along the Ganges Chaos into myriad realms to comprehend the Great Way of all beings.
Now, ten thousand thoughts return to their posts, contending with heaven!
The soul vortex erupted with extremely terrifying energy, slowly rolling up into the void, heading towards the giant cauldron.
Behind Ye Yuan, the pressure on the people of the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven instantly vanished.
They were all shaken; before such heavenly might, they were as insignificant as ants.
Though they knew Ye Yuan was struggling, they could not help at all.
The gap in level was too great!
"Such strong soul power! I never imagined Ye Yuan's thought transformation into ten thousand could reach such a level!" Yang Qing exclaimed in admiration.
Beside him, Mi Tian shook his head and said, "The soul power is nothing; what is truly terrifying is the power of the Great Way! These thoughts comprehend all beings, an extension of Ye Yuan's Great Way! He is now creating his own Great Way! As the thoughts return, his Dao Sword will reach an extremely terrifying level!"
Yang Qing was shocked, "His own Great Way... does that mean he has become another 'Heaven'? What realm is he in now?"
Mi Tian smiled bitterly, "It's not that simple. The final tribulation will surely be extremely terrifying!"
Countless points of light continued to converge on Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's power grew stronger and stronger.
Boom!
The soul vortex and the giant cauldron finally collided, shaking the void violently.
And the soul vortex was directly pressed down by the giant cauldron.
Ye Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, but refused to retreat a single step.
More and more points of light appeared, and the soul vortex grew larger.
In the end, it actually pushed the giant cauldron back!
Blood Stone Ancestor was stunned at the sight.
"This... this works too?" Blood Stone Ancestor said in disbelief.
Did this mean that until now, Ye Yuan had only used half his strength?
Looking at the raging soul vortex, Blood Stone felt a sense of powerlessness.
Ye Yuan's realm was beyond his comprehension.
In short, he no longer even had the right to look up to him!
Originally, he had broken his shackles, mastered the Blood Way, suppressed Wutian and Reincarnation, becoming the invincible existence across the heavens—how glorious that was.
But in an instant, his pride was shattered to pieces.
Before the current Ye Yuan, he was nothing!
Ye Yuan truly had the capital to defy heaven!
Soon, that cauldron capable of destroying the world was gradually pushed back by Ye Yuan.
The thirty-second tribulation, passed!
Next came the final tribulation of the Cataclysmic Tribulation.
At this thought, everyone shuddered.
"This... the final tribulation? Am I dreaming?"
"My god, is Ye Yuan really going to slay the Heavenly Dao? From now on, will Ye Yuan rule the myriad realms?"
"The heavens are changing! They are truly changing!"
...
Regardless of the outcome, the heavens of the Thirty-Three Heavens were truly about to change!
A rebel cultivator, challenging the Heavenly Dao!
Most terrifying of all, he was about to succeed!
If Ye Yuan truly succeeded, in what direction would the Thirty-Three Heavens develop?
No one knew!
Gradually, the soul storm completely subsided. Ye Yuan sat cross-legged, digesting the power of the Great Way gathered from myriad realms.
From within the Gate of Eternal Life, a giant hand reached out, striking at Ye Yuan!
Shockingly, this giant palm bore the aura of a living being!
Was this... a living thing?
"Could it be that there are living beings behind the Gate of Eternal Life? Impossible! The myriad realms revere the Thirty-Three Heavens as supreme! Blood Stone Ancestor mastered the Blood Way and did not ascend; how could there be a higher world?" Mi Tian was filled with shock upon seeing this giant palm.
Heavenly realm powerhouses ruling the myriad realms—this was an eternal theorem.
No one from the Thirty-Three Heavens had ever ascended to another realm.
No one had ever transcended the Gate of Eternal Life.
Even Blood Stone Ancestor, mastering a Way and becoming invincible across the Thirty-Three Heavens, did not ascend.
This proved that the Thirty-Three Heavens were the highest realm!
But where did this giant palm come from?
And who was controlling this world?
Countless questions arose in everyone's minds.
Ye Yuan looked at that giant palm, equally filled with countless questions.
However, the power of this palm was too terrifying; he had no time to think further.
This palm seemed to strike from the other side of the Gate of Eternal Life, crossing realms!
This palm was enough to destroy the world!
Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened; a small sword flickered faintly between his brows—it was his Dao Sword!
Dao Sword in hand, Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky, like a deity!
The faint aura emanating from the Dao Sword made Blood Stone Ancestor feel an impulse to worship!
His expression changed repeatedly, and he exclaimed, "This... how is this possible? The sword in his hand gives me the feeling of facing the Heavenly Dao!"
At these words, Wutian and the others changed color.
Their senses were far less acute than Blood Stone Ancestor's.
But these words were absolutely true!
"No wonder, no wonder he could survive the thirty-second tribulation; it was all because of that sword in his hand!" Wutian changed color.
Now, they finally understood why Ye Yuan was so strong.
Before this, Ye Yuan's Dao Sword had not been perfected.
But after merging with his thoughts, the myriad thoughts' comprehension of the Great Way had fully perfected this Dao Sword!
At this moment, it could be said that Ye Yuan held a Heavenly Dao in his hand!
Then, Ye Yuan leaped up, swinging his sword without any flourish, slashing at that palm!
Boom!
The terrifying power of the Great Way surged forth like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, annihilating that palm with irresistible force!
And this was not the end!
This sword strike also crashed into the Gate of Eternal Life!
Boom!
In the chaos, a dazzling light bloomed.
People only saw that under this sword strike, the two stone gates directly shattered!
This sword strike directly penetrated into that endless darkness.
All that remained was a deep, dark hole.
Blood Stone, Wutian, Reincarnation, Yi Xue, Mi Tian, Yang Qing...
Everyone looked at each other, stunned by this scene.
The Gate of Eternal Life, gone?
