Chapter 39: The Stone Gate Blocks the Way, A Clever Solution to the Hidden Barrier

Niu Yichen and Zhan Qingxue attempted to approach the stone gate once more, but an invisible force, even more potent than before, sent them flying backward.

"Seriously? Has this door become sentient?" Niu Yichen grumbled, rubbing his arm, which had gone numb from the impact.

Zhan Qingxue had also taken a hard fall, but she quickly stood up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and set her gaze with determination: "It seems brute force won't work."

...

Before his exclamation could even fade, a black ring of light descended from the sky. With a resonant hum, it clamped onto the grey-clad man with startling speed.

"I admit I did something wrong today, but surely that doesn't warrant wiping me off the face of the earth?" Wen Qihang sighed.

A pillar of light materialized out of thin air, striking Ye Kuang’s true form. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and leaving behind a bottomless crater.

However, she dared not. For the first time in her life, she doubted her own charm; she was terrified of being rejected.

This matter was of grave importance. If Zhou Xun was correct, allowing that evil spirit to escape or grow would, if not spell total annihilation for the Great Zhou Empire, at least lead to mass suffering and leave the nation severely crippled.

She had previously assumed that even if she secured this quota, the senior would need some time to prepare, which would also give her a window to ready herself.

Cao Bin sighed: "A general may only need to consider the battlefield and victory, but a commander must take everything into account."

Ye Kuang was stunned. A supreme powerhouse at the Heavenly Dao level had vanished in that storm of blood. What level of strength did Qingfeng possess? Had he transcended the Heavenly Dao?

"Replying to Lord Wen, the compilation of the new legal code involves every facet of society. The office has been established for some time now, and we need a clear direction. May I ask where you intend to begin, Lord Wen?" Dou Yi inquired.

The blood bell was surrounded by brilliant, burning crimson flames, and with each pulse, it emitted an aura as steady and immovable as Mount Tai.

Fang Jupeng hesitated and glanced at Elder Fang. Seeing his stern and solemn expression, he finally nodded.

Feng Linjue followed a path of domination. His cultivation was incredibly overbearing and aggressive. Under the influence of the Primordial Void Sutra, his speed and power reached their zenith, making his every move nearly impossible to parry.

Li Hejun’s brows furrowed deeper. Flying ships were immensely expensive; the one he was currently on cost tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, and repairing even minor damage would cost thousands more.

The Fire Pole God hailed from Flying Spirit Island, a place previously obscure in the Northern Continent. Because of him, Golden Immortals from two major factions had launched an assault on the island, intent on its destruction.

In front of a large fountain in the commercial district, Ye Chen and Luo Wushuang came to a halt.

Cultivators in the Nine Calamities Realm possess nine acupoints within their bodies, each a hidden treasure. These treasures are initially sealed; opening them allows for a qualitative transformation of the cultivator's self.

The voice began high in the sky, but the final syllable—"True"—echoed right beside them.

These people were all dressed in game attire and brandishing game weapons. "Were they also sent here by that dream?" Gudu asked himself.

"There is no 'what if'; I will win." Xiang Hao radiated confidence, his black hair flying as he displayed an extraordinary temperament, sharp and peerless.

Therefore, without pushing Gaara away, he firmly turned his face toward his own and looked at him with absolute seriousness.

After quickly passing through two streets, the grand and magnificent gates of Victory Palace appeared before them.

He had not expected Fatima to be a psychic mage as well. With a charming smile, she dealt Louis a vicious blow; she pointed at him, and a beam of pure white magical light shot toward him.
