Chapter 2348 - 2347: The Heavenly Gate Opens, Chaos in the Three Realms
In the distance, a group of Celestial Venerables and eminent figures stared at Long Fei and his companions, faces full of envy, wishing they could pull them down and hurry up themselves.
But each of them was trapped in the river of time-space, afraid to make a move.
A few Celestial Venerables were anxious and tried to force their way forward.
After a bout of fighting, all were killed by their own reflections.
Long Fei ascended the steps of the main hall, and at the front of this main hall hung a massive plaque inscribed with "Heaven-Piercing Palatial Hall."
The great hall stood a hundred zhang high, constructed with rare timbers.
The laws inscribed upon it had been processed by a master, adorned with unique carvings.
The Ancient Heavenly Court lay in ruins, this great hall abandoned till now, welcoming a new intruder.
Long Fei, upon reaching the entrance, sensed a vast and majestic force within.
This force took the form of a dragon and guarded the great hall from within.
Long Fei saw nine great bronze cauldrons positioned in nine different directions of the hall.
The dragon-shaped pressure emanated from within these cauldrons.
The white mist inside was nothing else but the Power of Faith and the Destiny Qi of the Human Race.
"He who gains this Qi attains the position of Human Realm Emperor."
Long Fei sighed inwardly, not surprised.
On the Immortal King Star’s Heaven-Piercing Palace, he had encountered a similar situation.
Behind him, someone approached with a roar and forcibly intruded.
A golden light flashed, and a woman stood in the hall, laughing towards the throne, "The position of the Human Realm Emperor is mine!"
She was none other than the Immortal Celestial Venerable, adept in the Time Law and Spatial Law.
Her presence was not unexpected to Long Fei.
She laughed coldly at Long Fei from within, "Little brother, you are a step too late. This position is mine; you’ll be my subject henceforth."
Her face was full of pride.
Long Fei chuckled lightly, and soon nine giant dragons roared out from the cauldrons, coiling around the Immortal Celestial Venerable.
She exclaimed, "Yu forged the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the Human Realm. Today, all nine cauldrons will be mine!"
A cry of a phoenix resounded as a Nine-Headed Phoenix Dharma Laksana manifested above her head, opening its mouths towards the giant dragons, each transforming into a space black domain.
She sought to devour these giant dragons; only with the cauldrons’ recognition could she become the true master of the Human Realm.
The Dragon Qi here was transformed from the Power of Faith of the Human Race, the awe humans held for the firmament — the strongest, most supreme power of the Human Realm.
Though an Immortal Celestial Venerable, under the tangle of these powers, she gradually showed signs of defeat.
The nine dragon-shaped forces bore the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning — manifesting as the Five Elements and Four Symbols, nine powers.
Every power had been felt by the Human Race in their lifetime.
Especially the cultivators, who encountered the nine heavenly thunders during tribulation, were actually manifestations of the power and will of these nine cauldrons.
The Immortal Celestial Venerable exhibited all her skills within, initially full of fighting spirit, but after a while, her power was continuously swallowed, decomposed, and digested by these nine dragon-shaped forces.
Her golden robes fluttered magnificently, yet with a heart full of unwillingness, she proclaimed, "I am the Supreme Jiufeng; how can I not become the Human Emperor?"
She transformed into a nine-colored phoenix bird, capable of tearing the firmament, persistently clawing towards the nine dragons.
Every beak carried the Spatial Law, transforming into black holes capable of devouring stars.
Her nine phoenix heads lunged towards the dragons, yet these nine forces, secretly aligned with the Power of Laws of the Human Realm, could not be torn or swallowed.
Amidst the roaring entanglement of the nine giant dragons, a thunderous noise sounded within the hall, instantly a blaze of golden light erupted, and strong winds roared.
The Immortal Celestial Venerable let out a grunt, being forcefully blown out of the hall by this overwhelming force.
Long Fei raised his hand, catching her slender waist, pulling her from mid-air.
Her face was pale, her Essence, Qi, and Spirit nearly exhausted.
Long Fei placed a Tier-Nine Qi Replenishing Pill in her mouth and fed her Peach Juice.
The Jiufeng Physique Bloodline was exceptionally strong, and her complexion soon showed a hint of color again, immediately pushing Long Fei aside.
In all her life, she had never been embraced by a man like this.
Long Fei smiled lightly at her, saying, "Why does a woman like you have to be so strong? The men will bear the sky of the Human Realm."
Jiufeng gave him a sidelong glance and said gloomily, "You?"
"Do I not look like it?"
Long Fei nodded and calmly walked into the hall.
Jiufeng stared with phoenix eyes, thinking to herself, I’ll see how you’re blown away by this imperial aura later.
Yet, to her amazement, after Long Fei entered, the nine giant dragons circled around him, spiraling him to the center.
He raised his hand and began to absorb these powers.
Turning back to smile at Jiufeng, he calmly ascended to the highest point of the Heaven-Piercing Palatial Hall and sat upon the Dragon Chair there.
Looking at Jiufeng, he spoke tranquilly, "Ninth Miss, you simply wish to sit here. Come in; I’ll fulfill your wish."
Jiufeng nearly spat blood, her face full of incredulity.
She had clearly been repelled by the Heavenly Dao Laws here, why could this boy sit on the throne with such ease?
She let out a cry of frustration, "I need no pity from you, even after sitting on the throne, you hold no authority over me."
Long Fei shook his head, stepped down, surveyed the hall, and sighed to Jiufeng, "It’s fine if you don’t wish to sit; this hall won’t exist for much longer anyway."
"What do you mean?"
Jiufeng furrowed her brow in confusion.
Long Fei explained, "The Three Realms will interconnect, the world will collapse. The time-space here is about to entangle; soon, this Heaven-Piercing Palace will vanish amidst the intertwined forces. The opportunity for immortality has arrived, and you may easily enter the Immortal Realm, and soon afterward, break through to the True Immortal Realm there."
Jiufeng, in astonishment, asked, "How do you know this?"
Long Fei replied, "In the Buddha Pagoda, I once severed a corpse and glimpsed a bit of future destiny. The world collapses, Three Realms connect. Demon Race emerges, causing chaos between two realms. At that time, endless hordes of Demons from the Netherworld will flood into the Human and Immortal Realms through here. The chaos in the Three Realms will persist into the next epoch, lasting till the arrival of the Primordial Unity Calamity."
Jiufeng watched him warily, asking, "Will you enter the Immortal Realm too?"
Long Fei shook his head, "I will not go; I will stay here to suppress the Human Race’s fate until the doors to the Three Realms close again."
"Are you mad?"
Jiufeng’s eyes widened, "The Demon Army numbers not only in the millions but tens of millions; how can you alone withstand them?"
Long Fei smiled, "Are you worried about me?"
Jiufeng’s cheeks reddened slightly, dismissing, "Can you be a bit serious?"
Long Fei said, "I tell you this to forge a good fate. My wife and brothers will enter the Immortal Realm with you; I hope you will help them when the time comes."
Jiufeng proudly stated, "Do you think a few words can earn my gratitude?"
Long Fei continued, "Of course not. To enter the Immortal Realm, you will need my help. When this place returns to chaos, only by opening a pathway through Chaos can one enter the Immortal Realm. The Demon Race needs two pathways to access both realms. By sitting at this pathway, I can obstruct them, and you will need my Chaos Clock to enter the Immortal Realm."
He said thoughtfully to Jiufeng, "Ninth Miss, you are born with the fortune of heaven; you’ll achieve great things. Thus, this is a worthwhile trade. If you stay in the Netherworld, you won’t survive the Primordial Unity Calamity!"
Jiufeng’s mind raced as she pondered deeply, finally looking intently at him, "If what you say is true, then I owe you a good fate. If your people need help in the future, I will certainly aid them."
"Thank you!"
Long Fei smiled lightly and raised his hand, storing all nine Yu Emperor Cauldrons into the Storage Ring.
Nine streams of Dragon Qi coiled around him.
Standing in the great hall, he shone brightly, as if the Human Emperor had descended.
