Chapter 1540: True Power of the Southern Heavenly Gate

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu had never anticipated that someone would target, let alone attack, the Southern Heavenly Gate.

It had always been the Heavenly Human Tribe who was on the offense. Since when had others started to attack their bases as well?

She guessed who the assailants were almost immediately. Apart from those few fearless people, who else would dare to provoke them in such a way?!

“Very well.” Lin Yu chuckled in anger. “You really think that you can assault our base just because you wiped out the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army? Since you’re seeking death, then don’t blame me for going all out!”

At this moment, nine columns of white light had already risen into the sky and formed an extremely large protective barrier. The entire territory of the Southern Heavenly Gate was enveloped within this barrier.

A thunderous explosion boomed through heaven and earth as the energy ball smashed into the white protective barrier.

A destructive energy was unleashed in this instant, and it wantonly obliterated everything that it came into contact with. Flashes of lightning, waves of fire, ruinous molecules, quantum explosions… The catastrophic explosion outside the Southern Heavenly Gate was visible from thousands of kilometers away!

The land within a radius of five hundred kilometers was instantly swallowed by the formidable energy explosion.

Even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, An Lin could still see the ball of destructive light in the distance. It was as if a new sun had risen from behind the mountain right after the original one had set. Even the bloody-red color of the sky was diluted by the radiance of the explosion.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… what a spectacular greeting present.” There was a wide grin plastered on An Lin’s face.

“It’s full of sincerity.” Xuanyuan Cheng was also extremely excited.

“Forcefully planting suns like this is a heresy,” Xiao Hong objected in a sweet voice.

“I wonder if they’ve been blasted to death… It would be great if the Southern Heavenly Gate was obliterated just like this, woof!” There was a look of eager anticipation on Da Bai’s face.

The extermination team chattered excitedly as they admired the explosive “sun” that was rising from the distant horizon.

However, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Bai Ling’s face at this moment. “They managed to block it. The enemy blocked our attack with a very powerful defensive spell formation…”

Their expressions instantly changed.

In terms of power, Bai Ling’s cannon had already vaguely surpassed the realm of the Dao Integration Stage. However, it was still blocked by the enemy. How powerful was the enemy’s spell formation?

Although they were anxious, they weren’t particularly surprised.

After all, if the final boss couldn’t even block a single strike from Bai Ling’s cannon, then how could it be that not a single front of the Heavenly Human Tribe had been destroyed in the dozens of years of war?

The phoenix continued flying toward the Southern Heavenly Gate. As it flew, it glanced apprehensively at the beautiful, white-clothed female on its back. If the female had accidentally misfired just then, would it have been killed?

A cold chill shot down its spine as it considered this.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”

So terrifying!

…

The phoenix flew incredibly fast.

A short while later, they arrived within five thousand kilometers of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

The energy from the explosion had already fully dispersed.

The white spell formation that enveloped an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius was cracked in some places. However, it hadn’t been breached by the energy explosion.

There was a humongous crater in front of the spell formation, and everything that had once been there—vegetation, beasts, animals, soil—had already evaporated into nothingness. It was truly a breathtaking sight.

An Lin finally caught a glimpse of the magnificent bronze gates.

They were huge, gigantic… They were so gigantic that they almost seemed a bit unreal.

Two multi-colored energy pillars towered hundreds of thousands of feet into the air, and they each supported a colossal bronze gate. There was a sea of white between the two pillars, and it exuded a sense of purity and holiness. It was as though his destiny lay on the other side of the gates; it was as though the gate was his passageway toward eternal happiness.

I really want to see what’s behind these gates!

This was a thought that had suddenly surfaced in An Lin’s mind. It was extremely abrupt, yet it was equally as genuine!

…

Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu sighed softly upon seeing the phoenix-riding group. “As expected… it’s them…” she said and chuckled bitterly.

“Now’s your chance to exact revenge.” The male chuckled and said, “Isn’t this a good thing?”

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu stared at the patch of decayed black flesh on her wrist. Then, she pursed her lips and said in an upset voice, “Jordan, how about you go and fight them? I don’t want to become any uglier…”

Heavenly God Jordan couldn’t help but chuckle. “I certainly can’t deal with them by myself. If you and I attack at the same time and deal with them quickly, then won’t we be able to keep the Heavenly Dao’s backlash to a minimum?”

Lin Yu pondered for a moment before reluctantly accepting Jordan’s proposal.

She was willing to concede that she had underestimated An Lin and the others before. That was purely her own fault. However, the two Heavenly Gods of the Southern Heavenly Gate were both going to engage in battle now. Thus, the only fate that awaited An Lin and the others was death!

“Why don’t we ask the Heavenly Metal…”

“No need. How can we trouble him with such trivial matters?”

Heavenly God Jordan immediately rejected Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu’s suggestion. Then, he left the room to prepare for battle.

“Attention, Great Generals! Destroy all intruders!”

Nine Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals roared in unison as they released their terrifying auras. Then, they traversed through the void and followed Heavenly God Jordan toward the frontline of the battleground.

Lin Yu grudgingly followed behind Jordan as she prepared to face off against An Lin and the others.

…

On the phoenix’s back.

Da Bai sucked in a deep breath as he looked ahead in shock. “It’s completely different from my imagination of fighting against hordes of large armies. The enemy is so few in number…”

“But they’re all ferocious individuals who can fight against armies of one million people by themselves.” There was a stern expression on Ye Ling’s face.

“Nine Heaven Pioneer Stage Heavenly Humans who each possesses a power equivalent to that of a newly ranked-up Dao Integration Stage cultivator, plus two Heavenly Gods who are rumored to be as powerful as Gods of Creation….” The Fist Sage’s face twitched as he cast his gaze over the enemies.

He was beginning to question his decision to come here with the extermination team. Why had his brain suddenly gone haywire and convinced him to join the extermination team no matter the cost?

Oh, that’s right… He had initially thought that there would be armies of cannon fodder for him to pummel. That way, he would be able to pummel cannon fodder while witnessing a legendary battle unfold before him at the same time.

However, the reality was cruel.

After seeing the enemies, he tragically realized that he couldn’t beat a single one of them…

“Fortunately, the Heavenly Humans are all suppressed by the Heavenly Dao to some extent. The more powerful they are, the more the Heavenly Dao suppresses them. Otherwise, we truly would have no other option but to turn around and flee…” Black Spirit Snake licked her lips and unsheathed a large sword. The battle intent in her eyes burned stronger and stronger.

An Lin noticed that Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu was currently smiling at him strangely.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu waved her blackened wrist upon noticing An Lin’s gaze. Then, she made a cut-throat gesture toward him…

So childish…

An Lin couldn’t help but diss in his mind. However, he had to admit that he was genuinely alarmed by her threat.

After all, he felt like he was being targeted by a Heavenly Goddess…

Judging by his aura, the male standing next to Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu was also of the Divine Heaven Stage.

In reality, the outside world only knew of the existence of Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu. This was probably because she occasionally traveled to other places to frighten the enemies. To their surprise, however, there was still another Heavenly God guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate.

There were two powerful Heavenly Gods guarding this gate!

An Lin was astonished by this. However, he could still somewhat accept it. The Southern Heavenly Gate was a tiger’s den, and he was already mentally prepared for the fact that the strength of the enemy forces might exceed his expectations.

As for how to deal with them?

One word—fight!
