The Cosmic Gate.
Those who had never seen the Cosmic Gate before always imagined that this window to an unknown world had to be a magnificent sight. Only those who had truly seen it understood that this was not a question of magnificence, but that nothing could compare in magnificence!
Xia Xiang stared as he blurted out in shock, "Heavens! The Cosmic Gate in’t a door at all! It’s a black hole! No… It’s even scarier than a black hole!"
The other Skywing Law Gods nodded, Xia Ya saying, "Before this, I really wouldn’t have imagined this universe to have something so bizarre! Look at its pitch-black color, as if some invisible power is drawing us in!"
Everyone knew that the Skywings had an Inner Demon within them and were people who feared nothing. Yet even they felt shock and an inexplicable fear when they came before the Cosmic Gate.
The leader of the Guardian Alliance, Moses, walked over quietly and stood next to the Skywing Law Gods. He said, "When I first arrived here, I came to understand something. The Cosmic Gate is something that no ordinary person can interact with. It undoubtedly links to an unknown world, one that might be a hellish abyss!
"In truth, all the Guardians secretly call the Cosmic Gate the Abyss. The reason we’ve abandoned our families and friends and have sworn to guard this place is because of our fear and shock of the Abyss. The Guardians believe that if the Abyss is lost, the entire universe will be plunged into endless darkness and will never know peace again. Every generation of Guardians firmly believes this."
The Skywing Law Gods were startled. It was no wonder the Guardians possessed a resolve that others found difficult to understand, willing to bind their lives to the Cosmic Gate. The Cosmic Gate from their tales was horrifying!
Even someone who was seeing it for the first time understood that this was no paradise. This was the origin of Hell!
The Cosmic Gate was shaped in a spiral, like an enormous whirlpool in the ocean, stirring up roiling waves in the universe.
This enormous vortex connected the universe to another world. It was difficult to imagine what sort of terrifying world a person would end up in if they fell inside.
As they stood next to the giant vortex that was the Cosmic Gate, all the warriors from the Law Realm were stunned, an inexplicable fear rendering it difficult for them to breath.
No one wanted to fall in, nor did anyone want to see anything crawling out of that vortex. But these warriors that served as the universe’s last line of defense had no choice but to confront it all!
There was no one except them who could fend off the attack of the Inverse. They were the universe’s last fighting force! Alas, this fighting force was puny before the Inverse, like a mantis trying to stop a carriage.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Xiang looked into the distance, where the six Founders led by Xia Gucheng were quietly discussing countermeasures. It was easy to see from the look in their eyes that even the Founders, who had grasped soul power, weren’t too confident.
But Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng didn’t seem to care, his eyes cold and resolved. He was deaf to the objections of the other Founders, the madness which allowed the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade to stand proudly over the rest of the universe written on his face.
Waving his hand, Xia Gucheng called Moses over to his side. Surprised, Moses frowned and walked over.
"You have the greatest understanding of the situation, so come down with me to take a look," Xia Gucheng said firmly.
What followed was instant silence!
Truly, this was Xia Gucheng and the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade!
The others had seen audacious people before, but never anyone this audacious! The Cosmic Gate was a lethal abyss, and just looking at it made people tremble in fear, but Xia Gucheng wanted to go inside! This was incredible!
As they sighed, everyone thought of the Skywing Clan’s rule: when the Fiendish Blade emerged, Gods and Demons would be slaughtered!
Perhaps it was only the Skywings! Only these crazed wolves of the Law Realm were capable of something so insane!
Moses broke out
Numerous eyes stared at him, waiting for his decision.
The Skywings had already used their actions to prove that the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade was a mad blade! They feared nothing in the vastness of the universe! Now, everyone was looking to see if the leader of the Guardians had the same courage!
"Whew!" Exhaling, Moses seemed to relax, and he eked out a cold smile. "Alright, let’s go down! Follow me!" Moses declared heroically.
"Hurrah!" All of the warriors erupted in excitement!
As the saying went, a single burning soldier could set an entire army aflame. It had now been proven that the Skywings who led the Law Realm were no cowards!
While victory wasn’t guaranteed in fighting with these madmen, at least they would die pleasantly, fighting to the utmost!
Warriors had their pride! When a warrior’s pride was completely stimulated, even if they died, they would die drinking the blood of their foes!
Whoosh!
As everyone else watched, Xia Gucheng and Moses jumped into the Abyss!
They descended quickly and vanished into the darkness.
…
As the King of the Guardians, Moses had naturally been to the bottom of the Abyss where the Cosmic Gate was located before. But this was the time of the decisive battle! While the Inverse’s attack had stopped for now, the furious war drums that had been beating ten minutes ago still filled everyone’s ears.
It wasn’t long before Xia Gucheng and Moses saw a net made of crisscrossing white lights.
"This is the Cosmic Gate. I think it might be some kind of barrier that stops the Inverse from entering, but as time goes on, the barrier grows more and more unstable, and an Inverse is occasionally able to get through.
"As for what the Inverse want to do after they break through the barrier, we Guardians have never been able to find an answer. It was only two days ago when we learned about the connection between the Inverse and the Founders that we understood that those Inverse who got through were messengers. They possess the special ability to pass through the Cosmic Gate when the barrier is weak.
"Those messengers, who aren’t even that strong, have given the Guardians a lot of trouble. I truly can’t even begin to imagine how powerful the main force of the Inverse will be if they break through the Cosmic Gate."
Moses told the truth, holding nothing back. Perhaps it was because the Skywings had become the backbone of the entire Law Realm that Moses dared to be so frank. In the past, he would always teach the warriors who had just joined the Guardians that the Inverse were nothing to be scared of, but his fear of the Inverse had never dissipated, and had always been a burden pressing on his heart.
Xia Gucheng nodded and carefully examined the barrier. This barrier made of energy would shimmer between bright and dim. It was clear that the countless eons had been hard on this barrier.
Suddenly, in the distance a pair of dark blue eyes appeared on the other side of the barrier. More and more of these eyes appeared, like a large flock of owls in the darkness, their sharp eyes staring at Xia Gucheng and Moses.
"The Inverse! They’re extremely close to opening the Cosmic Gate!" Moses cried out in fear.
At the same time, the Inverse roared at Xia Gucheng and Moses, their roars passing through the Cosmic Gate to resound throughout the universe!
A threat! A cry declaring war!
There was no doubt that the Inverse were only a sliver away from opening the Cosmic Gate. The cessation of hostilities just now wasn’t a retreat. They were just resting, and once they had finished gaining back their energy, they would launch a new offensive, even more ferocious than before!
Shock!
Incomparable shock!
The warriors outside the Abyss heard the roars of the Inverse and turned ghastly pale. These creatures that could make bellows more frightening than those of the worst beasts could not be easy to deal with!
At this moment, Skywing Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng did something no one expected!
Xia Gucheng took in a deep breath, raised his head, and made a roar even more terrifying back at the countless Inverse!
No matter how loudly the Inverse roared at Xia Gucheng, Xia Gucheng would return it a hundredfold!
Whoosh!
Fiendish energy surged into the heavens!
Two Fiend Wings appeared next to Xia Gucheng! This was the explosion of the Grand Ancestor’s Inner Demon, its power fully unleashed!
His fierce howl drowned out the howls of the Inverse!
While the Inverse were terrifying ghosts, the Law Realm had Skywings! Brimming with fiendishness, a fiendish blade unsurpassed in insanity!
They were extremely close, the countless Inverse separated from Xia Gucheng by only a few energy nets! They were practically face to face!
His eyes were bloodshot with killing intent as he filled the entire Cosmic Gate with his fiendish energy!
This was Xia Gucheng! Whether it was inside or outside the Cosmic Gate, the Grand Ancestor feared nothing!
The Inverse hadn’t expected the Law Realm to have such a savage existence. It was clear from Xia Gucheng’s fierce display that he felt no fear! In fact, the Inverse felt very uneasy about the Grand Ancestor’s Inner Demon! It had always been the Inverse threatening humans. None of them had ever imagined that there was a human who didn’t fear death, and who could threaten the Inverse!
After several seconds, the Inverse came back to their senses. They were just about to attack when countless roars rose from behind Xia Gucheng!
First came the howls of the Skywing Wolfpack! The Grand Ancestor wasn’t the only Skywing who didn’t fear the Inverse! These madmen of the Law Realm didn’t know the meaning of fear once they entered a combat state!
Like savage wolves, the Skywing warriors howled madly, their weapons clashing together in a deafening din!
Following them, the entire Law Realm declared war!
Everyone! Everyone was carried along by the Skywing Clan’s frenzied killing intent!
Fearing death was a warrior’s worst enemy!
Yes! The Law Realm was weaker than the Inverse! But when these weak warriors threw away their lives, they became savage devils!
This was a battle with their backs against the water. You die or I die!
…
The decisive battle neared!
Just when Xia Gucheng’s Inner Demon erupted, and when all the warriors of the Law Realm prepared to fight the Inverse to the death, in the distant alliance, Xia Fei was the first to begin the slaughter!
"I don’t have the time to chat with you! Anyone who stops me dies!" Xia Fei roared, crimson energy shooting to the heavens!
When Xia Fei arrived at Qin Mang’s grave, he saw all the people there discussing how to split the old man’s property!
With Moon Song and Chen Dong around, no one had dared to do anything, but there was a cunning light in their eyes now.
Without a word, Xia Fei started killing!
He instantly killed everyone who sought to blaspheme the old man!
Thinking? Even thinking about it was a sin!
Today, Xia Fei was not to be reasoned with!
