A nearly transparent soul suddenly broke away from Lin Yan's physical body and, in a flash, pounced on the Phaseless Devil.

A blazing flame began to burn above Lin Yan's soul.

"Red Lotus Karmic Flame! You actually brought out the Red Lotus Karmic Flame within the Celestial Divine Furnace!" The Phaseless Devil roared in panic.

The Red Lotus Karmic Flame, inside the Celestial Divine Furnace, was the nemesis of all Extraterrestrial Devils.

The Phaseless Devil was no exception.

Moreover, Lin Yan gave up his physical body at this moment.

Lin Yan's soul manifested a cloud of Red Lotus Karma Flame that struck the Phaseless Devil directly.

Both sides would suffer from this desperate fight.

No.

It would be better to say both would perish together.

Three days ago, Lin Yan manifested a ball of red lotus karma fire on himself and suffered.

But now, this red lotus karma fire had become his trump card.

Lin Yan's soul, engulfed with red lotus karma fire, exploded directly onto the former Heavenly Emperor's soul.

The red lotus karma fire burned the black threads wrapped around the former Heavenly Emperor's soul.

As these black threads burned, the Phaseless Devil's voice turned distorted.

"Is it worth it ...for you to do this, Lin Yan? I have planted many devil seeds. Even if I die today, I can still be reborn through them. However, if you die now, you'll be dead forever."

"Lin Yan, aren't you curious about what that huge pillar of light on the Heavenly Palace is? And what's that Great Summoning Array is?"

"...Freak, when I use the Great Summoning Array to open the Heavenly Gate, this entire continent will be occupied by my kind."



The Phaseless Devil roared.

At this moment, being completely entangled by Lin Yan's soul, he couldn't break away from the former Heavenly Emperor's body.

Realizing he couldn't escape the trap, the Phaseless Devil reluctantly grabbed Lin Yan's body.

Immediately, their figures flickered and reappeared in the Heavenly Palace.

"...Lin Yan, even if I ...couldn't get your body as my vessel, I'll... definitely... not let you go!" He roared.

The Phaseless Devil grabbed Lin Yan's body and appeared directly above the Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, countless cultivators were already spying on the Heavenly Palace.

Whether it was Lin Yan or the Phaseless Devil, they weren't their opponents.

"I've no choice but to offer the vessel under my control, sacrificing two immortal bodies to open the Heavenly Gate immediately."

From the Phaseless Devil's body, a mysterious supreme power burst out and rapidly absorbed the bodies of both the former Heavenly Emperor and Lin Yan.

The Bronze Gate located above the Heavenly Palace, the one at the end of the void, actually emitted a clucking sound at this moment. This was as if it would completely open in the next moment.nextchapterisavailableonthesite.



(On the Lingxuan Continent)

"What exactly is this Bronze Gate?"

Countless cultivators looked at the image above their heads with stunning eyes.

They were astonished whether it was the huge pillar of light above the Heavenly Palace or the huge Bronze Gate at the end of the pillar of light.

"That Bronze Gate should be the rumoured source of Darkness, the origin of the Phaseless Devils."

Suddenly, Lin Feng and the others heard a low voice and turned their heads to look.

They saw the person that spoke was none other than Venerable Wisdom.

"Venerable Wisdom, could it be that you know the origin of this Bronze Gate?" The crowd immediately stared at Venerable Wisdom with curious faces and inquired.

Venerable Wisdom nodded slightly, "Yes, I once read about it in an ancient book. When the Extraterrestrial Devils descended in ancient times, the Lingxuan continent was almost destroyed. At the juncture of the crisis, the Ancient God Taichu stood out, and led many Ancient Gods to kill the Extraterrestrial Devils…and Moreover, in the end, he alone entered the source of darkness, and sealed it, saving the Lingxuan continent."

Taichu!

This name made the crowd suddenly look solemn.

The ancient period was already too far in the past.

There weren't many ancient deity names passed down to the present.

Only a few know about the existence of the five ancient Goddesses that established the Heavenly Palace.

The vast majority of living beings, even cultivators on the Lingxuan Continent, do not know the existence of these five ancient goddesses.

But Taichu was different.

Taichu's existence was as mysterious as the Creation God on the Lingxuan Continent.

Not to mention the major cultivator clans, even ordinary mortals would hang a pair of Taichu's idols in their homes and pray for his blessings.

Now hearing that this Bronze Gate was related to the ancient god Taichu, the crowd's expression naturally turned more serious.

"Venerable Elder, Can we say this Bronze Gate is related to the life and death of our Lingxuan Continent?" Someone inquired.

Venerable Wisdom nodded slightly, "If the legend is to be trusted, it must be."

"The Lingxuan Continent from ten thousand years ago was extremely dangerous."

The crowd hurriedly raised their heads and continued to look at the screen above.

Although they knew the Heavenly Emperor somehow survived and the Bronze Gate was most likely not opened, they were curious about what would happen next.

How did the Heavenly Emperor defeat the Phaseless Devil and close the Bronze Gate?nextchapterisavailableonthesite.



Except for Xiao Mei.

At this moment, she didn't care about the Bronze Gate.

Her gaze fell on the two figures on the screen overhead.

"Father, Husband…"

After ten thousand years, Xiao Mei finally called the word 'husband' again.

This word had been frozen in the depths of her heart for ten thousand years.

Xiao Mei felt her heartache when she uttered the word 'husband'.

Why did she only learn the truth now?

It was too late!

What good was it to know the truth now?

"Husband he… died, I killed him with my own hands."

If it weren't for Xiao Mei seeing the figures of both Lin Yan and the former Heavenly Emperor on the screen, she wouldn't have hesitated to end her life.

In this world, she had no reason to live.
