An Lin and the others immediately focused their attention on the northern direction upon hearing this.
At the conclusion of the boundless expanse of black wind and red snow, there was indeed a gargantuan gate of light that could be seen indistinctly.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Dongfang Zhuangshi, the Celestial Thearch, and Chen Chen all adopted solemn expressions upon seeing this.
They began to slow down and surveyed their surroundings with caution at the same time in case there were ambushes waiting for them.
Chen Chen had told them that the paramount Heavenly Gods—Earth, Light, and Sea—had either been restricted or didn’t dare to attack, so they were no threat to them.
However, that was not an invitation to grow complacent as there were still two paramount Heavenly Gods whose attitudes remained unclear.
The Heavenly Heaven God could break into Tina’s world, so who could guarantee that the Heaven and Life paramount Heavenly Gods wouldn’t attack them again?
If it weren’t for the fact that Chen Chen had told everyone that he had a super bad*ss artifact that could facilitate everyone’s escape should that need arise, An Lin would not have made the decision to take the risk and destroy another Heavenly Gate.
Everyone drew closer and closer to the Northern Heavenly Gate.
The red snowflakes here had already become extremely large and were capable of inflicting gashed even into space itself. These weren’t snowflakes, these were flying sabers! AND they were flying sabers capable of killing Return to Void Stage mighty figures!
“This place is not very welcoming,” An Lin grumbled.
He had no choice but to unleash his power to protect himself now. Otherwise, even though the snowflakes couldn’t slice into his body, they did hurt, and it was very uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get out of here as soon as we smash the gate,” Chen Chen consoled.
“This feels really stimulating.” A smile that was intermingled with nerves and excitement appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face.
The Celestial Thearch also smiled.
Undertaking a secret mission like this really was very stimulating.
“Mr. An Lin, how about I just wait here for you?” Dongfang Zhuangshi was a little scared in contrast.
He was not prepared to be seen as an accomplice to An Lin. After all, he wasn’t even a human! He was a Kirin! All of the paramount Heavenly Gods prioritized the destruction of the human race, and he did not want to needlessly involve himself in something like this.
If he really did cooperate with An Lin and help him destroy the Northern Heavenly Gate, he would undoubtedly be listed as an enemy to be eliminated by the Heavenly Gods. Life would become very difficult for him then. Even now, he still got chills when thinking back to the dire situation where they had been surrounded by five Heavenly Gods.
An Lin knew what he was thinking as well, but he was not enraged by it. Instead, he delivered a calm, vital blow. “Dongfang Mengjie is a human as well. Do you want to see her get resurrected only to be killed by the Heavenly Gods again?”
Boom!
These words struck like a bolt of lightning.
Dongfang Zhuangshi shuddered before exploding with rage. “F*ck it! I’ll come with you! Let’s f*ck this gate up!”
If the Heavenly Human Tribe wanted to kill the human race, then they were going to be a threat to the woman he loved the most. How could he allow them to do that?
Dongfang Zhuangshi was initially bringing up the rear, but he was now marching at the very forefront of the group.
Xu Xiaolan chuckled gently as she whispered in An Lin’s ear, “You’re so evil now! You’re even using his wife against him.”
An Lin replied with a serious expression, “I’m not using him. I’m just reminding him of the truth. If anyone tried to kill you, I would kill them without any hesitation.”
Xu Xiaolan blushed upon hearing this. “Don’t be so violent! You’re going to become a mighty cultivator of justice, how could you always be talking about killing others like this?”
“I cultivate because I want to be with you forever. If anyone is a threat to you, I naturally have to eliminate them.” An Lin smiled.
“Stop! Stop!” Dongfang Zhuangshi’s rage was being quelled by An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s conversation. Who could understand his pain?
As a super mighty figure at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, his senses were extremely sharp, and he could still hear their conversation clearly even though they were conversing in whispers.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan did as they were told, and they looked on at the Northern Heavenly Gate up ahead with cautious expressions.
There was a grand and majestic palace up ahead.
“Be careful of the formation up ahead.” Chen Chen suddenly cautioned, “This is a formation imbued with the paramount laws of death. Even a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure would be killed instantaneously if they were to step on it!”
Up ahead, the countless red snowflakes falling from the sky became smaller and smaller as they fell, and they completely disappeared before even reaching the ground, as if they had been wiped from the face of the world.
They knew where the snowflakes came from, but they did not know how the snowflakes perished.
Even during the snowflakes’ final moments in this world, there were no clues given with regard to how they had perished.
This was a true death!
“What terrifying laws of death.”
An Lin’s brick came to a halt as an expression of shock appeared on his face.
The snowflakes within a radius of over a thousand kilometers all disappeared in mid-air.
Up ahead was a vast expanse of deathly silence.
There was no change, no color, and no vitality, as if this region had been like this ever since the beginning of time.
Only with change could life emerge.
If there was no change for eternity, then there would be no life.
This was the true state of death.
A hint of fear appeared in Xu Xiaolan’s eyes. “Not only would living beings perish upon entering this formation, but even the falling snowflakes, the wind blowing through the air, and even the air itself would also perish…”
The formation before renewed her concept of death.
“No wonder the Heavenly Gods would choose to come out in full force. This formation is something quite extraordinary.” Dongfang Zhuangshi marveled and said, “I’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I’ve never seen such an exquisite and terrifying formation.”
“The formation’s laws are too powerful. We need to find a weak point in the formation, then unleash our Heaven Crushing Techniques upon that weak point in order to break open this formation,” Chen Chen said with a grave expression.
“Find a weak point? Leave that to me!” An Lin stepped up to the plate.
His eyes then became pure white in color.
Divine Inspection Technique!
Boom!
An extremely complex set of formation veined patterns appeared before him, within which were imbued the paramount power of laws.
An Lin was instantly afflicted by a splitting headache.
A voice imbued with paramount divine might suddenly erupted in his mind.
“Die!”
An Lin’s entire body was gripped by boundless horror.
“Ah…!” he let loose a wail of anguish as his body fell back.
Xu Xiaolan immediately wrapped her arms around him. “What happened? Are you alright?”
An Lin had cold sweat pouring down his face, as if he had made a trip to hell and back. “My Divine Inspection Technique can’t see through this formation!”
His hack had always been effective on enemy formations with no exceptions, until now!
Chen Chen’s brows furrowed with a hint of distress. “This formation was set up by the heavens, so it’s naturally not easy to break. Furthermore, I’ve had a good look at it, and it doesn’t look like something set up by a normal Heavenly God. This was most likely something set up by a paramount Heavenly God.”
Everyone’s expression shifted upon hearing this.
“Which paramount Heavenly God do you think it was?” An Lin asked.
Chen Chen heaved a faint sigh. “The Heavenly Life God.”
