2383 Hell’s Gate
“Is that person truly only a Perfected Fiend? Even this can’t kill him?”
When the fiends saw that, their hearts skipped a beat as they exchanged shocked glances.
Yan Zui said in a deep voice, “That person is already severely injured. Even if he can survive this calamity, he’ll definitely die if we seize the opportunity to attack.”
Beneath the Hell Suppression Tripod.
Yan Beichen, Ming Zhen and the others could only watch helplessly.
“Master won’t just die here, right?”
Heavenly Wolf was unsure as well and muttered.
With a melancholic expression, Gu Tongyou sighed gently. “Right now, I’m afraid we can only pray that there won’t be any more thunder phantoms.”
Under the Hell Suppression Tripod, the Thunder Emperor, Feng Cantian, assumed a lotus position and closed his eyes, as though he had fallen into a mysterious state.
In his consciousness, the surging sea of lightning shrank continuously!
His strength was accumulating continuously as well, as though he was consolidating power for some earthshaking commotion!
On the battlefield.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had nowhere to retreat against the encirclement of the six thunder phantoms.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body roared into the skies and channeled his Essence Spirit. He conjured hand seals repeatedly with both hands and a gigantic door shrouded in black qi appeared behind him!
The door was like a dark abyss that was bottomless. At the same time, it was like the mouth of a gigantic beast that could devour everything!
This was a Dharmic Dao that was evolved by the Martial Dao Prime Body after he obtained the Hell Suppression Tripod and controlled Avici—Hell’s Gate!
The black qi that surged around the Hell’s Gate was the Avici fiend qi that could corrode everything and taint all living beings!
“All of you, come in!”
The Martial Dao Prime Body hollered and propped up the Hell’s Gate, enveloping the six thunder phantoms. Fiend qi surged and covered the skies!
The Hell’s Gate led to Avici.
The Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to suppress the six thunder phantoms in Avici!
A powerful suction force burst forth from the Hell’s Gate and pulled the six thunder phantoms in!
As though they sensed danger, they hurriedly released various Dharmic Daos and sword techniques to fight against the Avici fiend qi, wanting to break free from the Hell’s Gate.
Buzz! Buzz!
Bang! Bang!
The Hell’s Gate shook violently with a loud bang!
The first to break free from the Hell’s Gate was the black-robed woman. The turtle shell in her hands shone with rays of light and mysterious runes appeared, as though they could see through the heavenly secrets and divine all living beings.
At the same time, she released that mysterious footwork once more.
With a single step, a square pattern appeared beneath her feet, as though it was all-encompassing and contained the secrets of Heaven and Earth!
Relying on the turtle shell and mysterious footwork in her hands, the black-robed woman broke free from the Hell’s Gate.
Even so, she suffered a huge loss this time round and her phantom faded significantly, turning almost transparent!
The second to charge out was the white-robed sword cultivator who appeared last.
A single slash of his sword tore through the Avici fiend qi and created a clear sword scar on the Hell’s Gate!
Although the white-robed sword cultivator escaped, he was still tainted by a lot of Avici fiend qi. After he purged the fiend qi completely, the phantom faded as well, as though it had expended a lot of energy.
After a crack appeared on the Hell’s Gate by the white-robed sword cultivator, the remaining four people could no longer be trapped.
The old ape smashed down with his rod, creating a huge pit in the Hell’s Gate that was filled with spiderweb-like cracks that extended continuously—it was on the brink of collapse!
The old ape charged out.
Immediately after were the two men that represented darkness and light.
The white-robed woman came last.
Although the six thunder phantoms escaped, they nearly died inside. Furthermore, they suffered immense losses this time round and most of their auras were depleted—they were no longer the same as before!
The reason why the Hell’s Gate could release such a powerful might and devour the six thunder phantoms was because this Dharmic Dao already contained a trace of a Grotto-heaven’s power!
The Martial Dao Prime Body had just entered the True Martial realm and should not have come into contact with that power.
However, his Martial Dao Furnace had smelted too many Dharmic Daos and divine powers.
Thereafter, he obtained the Hell Suppression Tripod and controlled Avici. He was even trapped in Greater Avici for a thousand years and tortured. That was the reason why he could imitate an existence similar to a Grotto-heaven!
To be precise, the Martial Dao Prime Body had yet to comprehend the power of the Grotto-heaven realm.
The Hell’s Gate was merely a Dharmic Dao that he had evolved by imitating Avici. It merely took on the form of a Grotto-heaven but did not have the intent of a Grotto-heaven!
Even so, the Martial Dao Prime Body nearly killed the six thunder phantoms conjured by the Heavenly Tribulation!
Be it the six thunder phantoms or the Martial Dao Prime Body, they had already reached their limits in this battle.
On the other side, the outcome of the battle between the star phantom and the four Sacred Souls was still indeterminate.
Right then, the tribulation clouds appeared once more.
Another thunder phantom descended.
Beneath the Hell Suppression Tripod, Yan Beichen, Ming Zhen and the others felt their hearts sink.
The situation earlier on was still balanced and the Martial Dao Prime Body at least had a chance of fighting.
But now, the arrival of yet another thunder phantom would break that balance completely!
There was a high chance that this final phantom would end the Martial Dao Prime Body!
It was a monk wearing an ancient kasaya and holding a Bronze Square Tripod in his hands. It was extremely similar in size to the Hell Suppression Tripod.
However, there were no patterns of the four Sacred Souls on the four walls of the tripod.
Others might not be able to tell what it was, but when the Martial Dao Prime Body saw the Bronze Square Tripod, he recognized it right away—it was the Hell Suppression Tripod!
Or rather, it was the initial appearance of the Hell Suppression Tripod!
If the Bronze Square Tripod Bronze Tripod was the Hell Suppression Tripod, the identity of the monk was obvious!
It was the Infinite Great Emperor!
The Martial Dao Prime Body had never seen the Infinite Great Emperor before.
He had never expected that he would be able to see the true appearance of the Infinite Great Emperor one day.
Although the two true bodies were millions of kilometers apart, they were shocked the moment they saw the monk!
Su Zimo had never expected this powerful Great Emperor who was said to suppress countless evil and was even willing to transform into a purgatory to look like this.
The monk had a warm gaze and looked extremely amiable.
After the monk descended with the Bronze Square Tripod, he was slightly stunned when he saw the Hell Suppression Tripod at the side.
Thereafter, he looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a hint of realization in his eyes.
“Let’s end it.”
The monk smiled gently and bowed slightly to the seven thunder phantoms not far away, saying softly.
Immediately after, the monk’s body exploded and released an incomparably terrifying power that swept in all directions, pulling all seven figures in!
There was no anger, indignance, hatred or surprise on the faces of the seven phantoms.
On the contrary, the seven phantoms looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a hint of admiration and relief.
Immediately after, the seven phantoms faded and dissipated into the world.
The power did not weaken and surged into the clouds, dissipating the tribulation clouds in the skies!
Everything returned to normalcy and the world regained peace.
The scene earlier on seemed surreal, as though it was an illusion.
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood on the spot in silence.
A long time later, he gradually snapped out of his stupor and heaved a sigh of relief.
