Chapter 208 A Nuisance Behind the Door

　　The decree from Yuanshi Tianzun instantly carved a new brand onto one of the Nine Heavens Gates.

　　Among them, the one representing the south, within the Ten Directions, saw countless karmic threads converging upon it. Kai Ming's expression changed drastically as he sensed the terrifying patterns appearing on his Heavenly Gate, and he cried out in disbelief, "This is... karma?"

　　"And fabricated karma?"

　　"Karma can be used like this?"

　　"Yuanshi Tianzun, you are shameless!"

　　Kai Ming sensed the emergence of karma that clearly did not exist between heaven and earth; it was not karma that existed in reality.

　　But these karmic connections were unbelievably real, even heavier than those that truly existed.

　　The Southern Heavenly Gate, in the long myths of the human world's past, possessed an extremely exaggerated presence. Almost instantly, the karmic patterns directly occupied most of the Heavenly Gate. Even though Kai Ming was fearful of the Taoist's sword earlier, he could no longer swallow his anger.

　　Space was torn apart in the void, and a massive palm slowly reached out.

　　It pressed down heavily on the Heavenly Gate.

　　Half of the bronze-colored Heavenly Gate had already transformed into a jade-like hue. The two sides' aura and laws began to clash violently. After all, Wei Yuan had only temporarily bestowed the position of the Southern Heavenly Gate of Shenzhou legends onto this Kunlun Heavenly Gate. It was merely fabricated, and when vying for control and ownership of this object, he did not have the upper hand.

　　The bronze color on the gate became increasingly clear, and then it vibrated open, with countless streams of light transforming.

　　This represented the original effect of the Kunlun Nine Heavens Gates.

　　However, the gate on the Taoist's side opened to reveal only a deep abyss.

　　Kai Ming had once traveled in the human world but looked down on the human world's foundation. At this moment, he frantically pondered what the Nine Heavens Gate of the human world represented. Suddenly, he thought of something.

　　The opening of the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court in the human world would produce an effect.

　　Boom!!!

　　A thunderous sound erupted in an instant, and vaguely, one could see lightning running wild within the Southern Heavenly Gate on the other side. Among the lightning, the leader was a dragon-headed human, the Great Marsh Thunder God! Beside the Thunder God, mountains stood tall, surrounded by clouds. A white-haired Taoist was there, blankly brewing tea, and next to him were the Kunlun Martial God Ying Long Gengchen and Kunlun Nüba.

　　The thirty-six Principal Gods of the Thunder Department were brewing tea and savoring it.

　　Refined and elegant, it was precisely the demeanor of the Taoist school, otherworldly immortals, and reclusive figures.

　　The group on the opposite side of the gate seemed to have seen this side as well, and their faces were blank.

　　After a moment of hesitation.

　　The old Taoist instantly picked up the peach wood sword in his hand.

　　The thirty-six Principal Gods of the Thunder Department, who had just been drinking tea, broke their teacups in unison.

　　Crack!

　　Then, in perfect unison, they stood up abruptly.

　　Step!

　　They took a step forward in perfect synchronization, and then with a wave of their right hands, they directly pulled out thirty-six large axes in unison.

　　In an instant, the glint of blades and axes flashed, and lightning exploded.

　　Their faces twisted in ferocious laughter.

　　"Is the Heavenly Lord summoning us?"

　　"Ahahaha, brothers, the time to make meritorious contributions is now!"

　　Auspicious light surged, the sound of thunder rumbled, and dark clouds rolled down.

　　Kai Ming's face contorted, and he directly controlled the laws to close the Nine Heavens Gates together. Even the torrent of laws that he had prepared to bombard the Taoist's brow was withdrawn. At this moment, Kai Ming finally understood what the greatest effect of the Southern Heavenly Gate in human Taoist legends was—

　　Direct access to the Heavenly Court, comparable to the Jianmu of the Great Wilderness.

　　Special Category Divine Weapon: Southern Heavenly Gate

　　Divine Weapon Special Effect: One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers

　　In short, its authority was: Summoning Reinforcements!

　　Relying on the karma connected to Yuanshi Tianzun and the legend of the Southern Heavenly Gate, and then gathering all the karma in the Heavenly Gate that controlled the direction, opening the Heavenly Gate would directly bring all these people over in one breath. This was also because Kai Ming's Kunlun Heavenly Gate originally had a portion of the Ten Directions authority.

　　To a certain extent, it was a perfect match with karma.

　　One could directly find people within the Ten Directions.

　　The other could pull them over as soon as you found them.

　　Kai Ming gnashed his teeth as he looked at the Taoist on the other side, knowing that his Nine Heavens Gates had been branded with this Taoist's mark.

　　At least one of them had been branded with his mark.

　　Half of it had directly transformed into a special magical treasure.

　　This gate was unusable.

　　Just then, the Southern Heavenly Gate, which had been closed, suddenly trembled violently. At this time, Wei Yuan and Kai Ming were vying for control of this object, so they did not have the leisure to suppress the Heavenly Gate. Then, the Heavenly Gate, which had already been closed, suddenly opened with a bang. Kai Ming was alarmed, wondering if the thirty-six Thunder Department generals had come to kill him.

　　With a boom, the gate seemed to have been kicked open by an extremely arrogant fellow!

　　Then, a furry left hand directly stretched out, tightly gripping the Southern Heavenly Gate.

　　Immediately, countless water vapors surged, making people feel as if they had fallen under the East Sea. A cudgel stretched out, followed by an unyielding voice, its tone full of displeasure: "What kind of gate is this? Wei Yuan, what are you up to?!"

　　!!

　　Kai Ming's face contorted.

　　Its fighting strength was enough to slightly surpass the Turbid World Water God. Although it was not good at the Great Dao, and its overall foundation and background were not among the top ten, its terrifying fighting strength and unyielding will were completely on par with those top ten who were not good at fighting. Moreover, it also carried an extremely dense remnant of the Turbid World Water God's unwillingness before his death.

　　When did such an evildoer appear in the human world?

　　What kind of evil things were hidden behind the door?

　　However, this should be the last one.

　　A terrifying monster strong enough to surpass the top ten who were not good at fighting. What could be more terrifying than this?

　　With a loud bang, the Southern Heavenly Gate was closed again. Kai Ming forcefully closed the gate, his face pale, and large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. He was already quite strained. Just as he and Wei Yuan were vying for ownership of this Heavenly Gate, he suddenly heard a gentle knocking sound at his ear, polite and refined.

　　Then, a gentle and pleasant voice spoke, politely and respectfully, as if it were a gentleman of extremely high moral character:

　　"Hello, is anyone there?"

　　Kai Ming's expression froze slightly.

　　Then, the Heavenly Gate, which had clearly been sealed, slowly opened.

　　A young man in white robes with a handsome and elegant smile walked out.

　　His smile was gentle, but his pupils were golden snake pupils, demonic and evil. Even his warm smile made one's heart turn cold. For some reason, Kai Ming's body seemed to stiffen, and he felt a faint sense of difficulty in moving. This meant that the young man in front of him was at least one level stronger than him.

　　Boom!!!

　　The Southern Heavenly Gate was closed again.

　　This time, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who took action.

　　Expressionless, he kicked him out directly.

　　It was as if he had experienced thousands of refinements, and it was an almost flawless move.

　　He kicked the white-robed youth directly on the butt.

　　He kicked him out of the Heavenly Gate.

　　Yuanshi Tianzun said expressionlessly, "Trying to reap the benefits at this time?"

　　"Goodbye!"

　　Kai Ming stared dumbfounded at Yuanshi Tianzun, as if he had kicked his own reinforcements out, wondering if this guy had a problem with his brain. However, the expressionless Yuanshi Tianzun had felt the cold gaze of the Nine Nether Candle Dragon behind him when that snake appeared.

　　After all, Zhu Jiuyin, who had originally been expected to be in the first tier of the top ten,

　　was tricked by his friend Fuxi back then.

　　He cultivated the art of inverting yin and yang, resulting in dividing his own gongfu and foundation into two parts.

　　One was a scum snake who was a Daode Tianzun in name only but had no morals at all, and the other was a magnanimous Jiuyou Candle Dragon who didn't hold grudges or was petty. If these two were put together, wouldn't they immediately start a four-way melee? Do all of you dragon and snake types of Innate Sacreds have a problem? Or is it that all the good things were given to Nuwa, and what's left is the two of you?

　　Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

　　This was a time to compete for strength and foundation. Even when the Southern Heavenly Gate had just erupted in turmoil, neither of them had relaxed their collision of authority and laws. At this moment, Wei Yuan's aura suddenly soared, and the karma representing the Heavenly Court spread inch by inch. When Kai Ming tried to desperately snatch it back.

　　The Taoist lowered the five fingers of his left hand slightly.

　　Then, he directly connected with this Southern Heavenly Gate.

　　The palm fell, as if outlining the heaven and earth, vast and boundless, in a chaotic state, directly locking Kai Ming within it.

　　The Southern Heavenly Gate resonated with Wei Yuan.

　　It was a variation of the Overturning Palm, fusing the power of the Overturning Palm with sword energy and sword intent, wielding the palm as a sword technique, and then resonating with this Heavenly Gate.

　　It seemed to directly lock the enemy from within the Ten Directions.

　　Kai Ming's expression froze slightly, and his pupils contracted: "Ten Directions Destruction..."

　　"How is it possible? You learned it?"

　　"How could you have learned it after seeing it just once?!"

　　"Not once."

　　The Taoist replied, "It was twice."

　　The only reason why the Confucian disciple Nanshan Zhuzhi was unable to be listed among the Seventy-Two Sages was that he failed in two subjects.

　　But the other subjects: Riding, Sword, Archery.

　　He was the champion.

　　A palm fell with sword energy following, and the entire Heavenly Gate shook violently. Auspicious energy flowed in thousands of streams, and the rays of light were ten thousand feet long. The white-haired Taoist seemed to be even taller than this Heavenly Gate. His voice was calm, and he said, "This is the second move of the Overturning Palm, comprehended from Kai Ming's Ten Directions Destruction. Since it needs to resonate with the Southern Heavenly Gate, it is therefore named—"

　　"Execution Platform."

　　One move fell.

　　Kai Ming's aura retreated violently, leaving only a pool of blood suspended in the air, dazzling and incomparably, but also containing powerful power. The Taoist lowered his eyes, flicked his finger, and the drops of blood floated in the air, transforming into a sword, and then following the karma, directly bypassed the Nine Heavens Gates. A roar came from afar.

　　And that huge Heavenly Gate instantly transformed from the bronze-colored vast and majestic, ancient and barbaric aura into a thorough jade-like appearance. However, the remaining eight Heavenly Gates contracted even more tightly this time, and the formation unfolded, making it impossible to approach. Wei Yuan frowned, swept his sleeves, and the Heavenly Gate became smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, and finally entered the Taoist's sleeves.

　　Zhu Jiuyin said flatly, "Are you going to wait here?"

　　Wei Yuan said, "Of course not. Kai Ming is like this now, he definitely won't be able to break it. Besides, you should recover."

　　The Taoist swept his sleeves, and countless sword energies were like a flood, chained with karma. Within the time solidified by Zhu Jiuyin, he added sword energy like a vast ocean. The sword energies intertwined, instantly transforming into a Zhuxian Sword Formation, directly trapping the Nine Heavens Gates, or rather, the eight Heavenly Gates, and Kai Ming within the Heavenly Gates.

　　I may not be able to open your lock.

　　Then I can add another lock on the outside.

　　So that you can't open it either. jpg.

　　The Taoist took a deep look at the sealed Heavenly Gate Formation, swept his sleeves, and disappeared.

　　"Damn it!"

　　"Damn it! Why aren't the reinforcements coming, why aren't they coming!"

　　Kai Ming's furious roars echoed constantly within the Heavenly Gate, making his followers tremble with fear, not daring to say much. In a remote hall in the vast blessed land space within the Heavenly Gate, a young man lamented, "Here it comes again, here it comes again. A'Qi, do you think we'll be able to get out alive this time?"

　　"Why did God Kai Ming suddenly have a drastic change in temperament?"

　　The A'Qi he was talking about was a short young man.

　　He nodded slightly, his voice unhurried, "It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us small characters."

　　"That's true."

　　The previous young man sighed.

　　After the young man left, the young man who was sweeping the place muttered in confusion:

　　"Yuanshi Tianzun, who is this?"

　　"To be able to make Kai Ming suffer... but perhaps it's an opportunity."

　　An opportunity to cut off Kai Ming's head again, or even several heads!

　　"In that case, I can meet A'Yuan and the others, right..."

　　He raised his eyes, his deep eyes, his face wearing a mask, his white hair gray, as silent as if he had been sitting withered for thousands of years.

　　A'Qi—

　　A'Qi!
