Chapter 1539: Advancing Toward the Southern Heavenly Gate

An Lin guessed what that sparkling white dot was straight away.

The Heavenly Court had a Southern Heavenly Gate that connected them to the mortal realm.

The Heavenly Human Tribe also had a Southern Heavenly Gate. However, this was a gate that connected the Heavenly Human Tribe’s territory to the Tai Chu Continent.

Thinking about it, it seemed as though the two Southern Heavenly Gates did have quite a bit in common.

The image of Monkey Sun[1]—who had once assaulted the Heavenly Court’s Southern Heavenly Gate—suddenly flashed into An Lin’s mind. Right now, their extermination team was going to cause an “Uproar in Heaven” much like Monkey Sun once did. They were hell-bent on causing chaos and killing all the Heavenly Humans near the Southern Heavenly Gate!

They were all brimming with an air of lofty heroism.

In just a single day, they had slaughtered enemies all the way from the Kingdom of the Nine States to the Spirit Lake Realm. Then, they had slaughtered enemies all the way from the Spirit Lake Realm to the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation.

Over thirty million Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers had been wiped out by them. Among the casualties, hundreds of them were of the Soul Piercing Stage, and there were a dozen or so of the Heaven Pioneer Stage. In fact, even the Mourning of Heaven and Earth[2] had appeared three times.

Wherever the extermination team passed, the blood of the Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers would flow like rivers. They swept their enemies aside like ragdolls, and their steady advance was simply unstoppable.

Their auras gradually started to change as they killed more and more Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers. Not only were they brimming with energy and full of confidence after two resounding victories, but even their dao hearts had become more stable. Battling was the best method of cultivation, and it was also the best way to examine one’s dao.

They had enjoyed two high-level yet satisfying battles, and they had also experienced the blessings bestowed by three Mourning of Heaven and Earth phenomena. Several of them had a vague feeling that they were close to breaking through to the next rank.

An Lin took a deep breath as he gazed at the sparkling white dot that was drawing closer and closer.

“Prepare for battle.”

They all drew their weapons as they inched forward.

In fact, Bai Ling even took out a pair of binoculars to observe the white dot in the distance. “M-hm… It’s a sheet of white.” She chuckled and said, “It seems like some sort of energy barrier is preventing outsiders from inspecting it…”

Bai Ling wasn’t surprised by this at all. She silently retrieved a gigantic cannon from her storage ring. Then, she turned toward An Lin and asked, “Should we fire a shot at them first?”

Xuanyuan Cheng’s eyes lit up, and an expression of excitement spread across his face. “Clearing the extermination team’s path with a cannon? Great idea!”

An Lin also found this suggestion very interesting. Thus, he nodded his head in approval.

The corners of Bai Ling’s mouth curled up into a slight smile, and there was a look of eagerness in her eyes as she gently patted the cannon. A complex white spell formation materialized in the air and started activating the cannon. At the same time, the energy within the cannon was also activated. An increasingly devastating might started gathering inside the cannon.

Upon sensing the formidable energy that was forming within the cannon, the members of the extermination team all backed off silently. Even though they knew that Bai Ling’s control was insanely precise, they still chose to back off into the distance. This was out of instinct, and not out of mistrust toward Bai Ling.

As if feeling uneasy, the phoenix chirped twice. After all, anyone would feel queasy and scared if there was a cannon charging on their head…

“Energy refill complete,” Bai Ling said in an emotionless and mechanical voice. “Activating stealth and disguise systems. Refining flight path. Target locked. Path error of one-millionth of a percent. Preparing to fire…”

She extended a slender hand and lightly slapped the butt of the cannon.

Slap.

Boom!

An earth-shattering boom tore through heaven and earth.

The cannon roared like a ferocious beast as it spat out a terrifying, sun-like energy ball.

The phoenix was thrown back by the devastating force of the cannon, and it almost lost its balance.

The energy of the strike was extremely condensed, and it contained a power that even the Celestial Thearch was apprehensive of. It ripped through the air and hurtled toward the star-like white dot in the distant horizon.

The energy ball lit up the evening sky as it streaked through the air.

The Celestial Thearch was stunned by what he saw. They were still at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Southern Heavenly Gate; a distance that was far beyond the attacking range of ordinary Dao Integration Stage cultivators. However, Bai Ling’s cannon was still able to launch a breathtakingly precise attack. This was extremely shocking.

Moreover, in terms of power, this energy ball was also extremely terrifying. At the very least, even the Celestial Thearch—the strongest cultivator in the Kingdom of the Nine States—probably couldn’t defend against it.

…

Meanwhile, at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

A majestic gate that radiated with an ancient and legendary aura rested between heaven and earth.

It was composed of two multi-colored energy pillars that soared one hundred thousand feet into the air. Connected to these pillars were two gigantic bronze gates, which were currently opened outward. Between the pillars was a boundless stretch of white light. One couldn’t see through this sea of white, yet it appeared extremely tempting and enticing. It was as though it led to another world.

In fact, the Heavenly Human Tribe’s widely renowned Southern Heavenly Gate was very simple. However, in the dozens of years that it had existed, not a single human had dared to set foot upon this stretch of holy land.

Sitting before the gate was a stretch of lush green grassland where all kinds of beautiful and fragrant flowers grew. These flowers were half a human tall, and they released an air of silent allure as they gently swayed with the light breeze.

There were also several small houses resting on the grassland. They were refined and simple, and they all appeared particularly ordinary. However, all of them radiated a formidable aura. Numerous powerful Heavenly Humans were moving about in the small houses. In fact, all of them were of the Heaven Pioneer Stage. In other words, every single one of them had the ability to command an army of one million Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers!

The setting sun dyed the sky a dark blood-red.

A blood-colored moon silently rose into the sky and merged harmoniously with the similarly colored evening sky.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu was currently sitting on a lounge chair. Her figure was lithe and graceful, and her beautiful golden eyes reflected the iridescent dusk clouds. She raised a lotus-shaped cup to her lips and took a small sip of the immortal flower juice inside. There was a gloomy expression on her delicate and beautiful face.

“Ah…” She sighed softly.

It was clear that there was something weighing on her mind. Moreover, there was also a hint of resentment in her voice.

“Don’t overthink things. If one has no desires, then one is free from all worries.”

A warm and gentle voice sounded.

Not far to her left, there was a meditating male who was also dressed in an identical cloudy-mist garment.

The male’s eyes were shut, and his hands were formed into a peculiar hand seal. A vast amount of energy flowed down from the sky and funneled into his body.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu became even gloomier upon hearing this. “How can one have no desires.” She humphed in annoyance and said, “I was almost humiliated to death just then… Didn’t you see An Lin’s smug expression when he was chasing me? That was definitely the most humiliating moment in my entire life!”

Right now, she wasn’t feeling a shred of distress about the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army being wiped out. Rather, she was feeling a great sense of humiliation about being forced into such an awkward situation.

The male shot a glance at Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu. “Instead of worrying about that, why don’t you focus on healing the injuries you suffered due to the Heavenly Dao’s backlash first.”

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu raised her left forearm upon hearing this. There was a patch of black on her pale wrist, and it looked like her flesh there was decaying. Moreover, this kind of decay was showing signs of spreading outward.

Lin Yu—who believed in perfection and was perfect herself—couldn’t help but frown upon seeing her blackened wrist. This was a glaring flaw that had appeared on her perfect body…

“Sigh… What can I do? I can only wait for father time to heal this imperfection… Next time we meet, I’ll definitely exact my revenge!” A cold expression flashed across Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu’s eyes.

“Perhaps that day isn’t far,” the male said.

“Hmm?” Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu cocked her head in confusion. Then, her dainty lips parted in surprise as she gazed at the distant sky. Right now, there was a devastating energy ball hurtling toward them like a gigantic meteorite!
