Chapter 2377: Three Gates (3)

Both Su Yu and Human Emperor were busy recuperating.

At the same time.

Various parties were preparing for the coming opening of the three gates.

Inside the Earth Gate.

Deep inside chaos.

Human Emperor's punch had shaken countless parties, slightly halting the growing morale of those inside the gate. In fact, morale was actually starting to drop.

Suddenly, a voice rang out deep inside the gate, "Envoy of Human Gate, here to seek audience with the Master of Chaos."

A figure emerged out of thin air.

The figure gazed into the distance and asked with an ancient voice, "Can you really represent the Human Gate?"

"Possibly."

The figure, or the Master of Chaos, to be precise, said indifferently, "State your business."

"The three gates are on the verge of reopening. The Heaven Gate and Human Gate are still fully shut for now, but there is already a crack on the Earth Gate. Monstrous freaks like Human Emperor, Culture King, and Su Yu still walk the Myriad Realms. Peace will not be achieved unless these people are removed..."

The Master of Chaos spoke emotionlessly, "You are not the first envoy of the Human Gate to see me over the years. I believe you won't be the last either. But every single envoy has been repeating the same story. Can't you come up with something new? What do we stand to gain from this? What can you give us?"

The envoy chuckled, "You will naturally benefit from this, Master of Chaos. As long as you're willing to force the Earth Gate open and attack the Myriad Realms in advance, the Human Gate is willing to block the Heaven Gate for you after the opening. The Heaven Gate is filled with powerhouses. The masters of their forbidden zones, in particular, are exceptionally threatening. You might be strong, but placed in the Heaven Gate, you'll probably be just another master of a forbidden zone."

Master of Chaos continued speaking emotionlessly, "In short, you want the Earth Gate to serve as the vanguard for the Heaven Gate to sweep in and reap the rewards after all the hard work is done? What a beautiful dream. Yes, the Heaven Gate has many powerhouses. So what? The Earth Gate is the weakest while the Human Gate is the most mysterious. The Heaven Gate will prioritize the Human Gate, not the Earth Gate. Don't bother with these empty promises. It's pointless."

"What does the Master of Chaos want, then?" The envoy said, "You can list your terms. We're not asking for much. We only want the Earth Gate to open earlier. We want to prevent Human Emperor and Su Yu from further delaying the opening. Any delay will only benefit them, not us.

"If the Master of Chaos knows even a little bit about them, you should know that I'm speaking the truth. They only need five or maybe three years to grow massively."

After a short silence, Master of Chaos said, "Myriad Dao Stone."

The envoy was stunned for a short moment before saying with astonishment, "You jest, Master of Chaos. Also, you don't even cultivate the myriad daos. Why would you need the Myriad Dao Stone?"

Master of Chaos said, "Why can't I want it? Back then, that person created the River of Time and the Myriad Realms with the Human Gate as the foundation. That day, I saw it. I saw some Myriad Dao Stones emerging from the source of the myriad daos before falling into the Human Gate. If you wish to cooperate, pay the price."

The envoy said, "Even if that's true, the stones would have been exhausted by now. Those are supreme treasures. Nobody in their right mind would keep them around instead of using them immediately."

The Master of Chaos said, "I don't care. If you want us as your stepping stone, pay the price. Over the years, your people, those from the Heaven Gate, and even those from the Myriad Realms have been entering the Earth Gate. That crack is only there because of you guys. This seat can't be bothered to get involved in this mess. But if you want this seat to work for you, pay. At least three Myriad Dao Stones."

The envoy sank into silence. After a long while, he said, "Yes, the Human Gate was the origin of that person's creation. But very few Myriad Dao Stones emerged back then..."

"Yes." The Master of Chaos said, "Rather than calling those stones Myriad Dao Stones, it is more apt to call them Origin Stones. But with the River of Time flowing downstream for so many years, the accumulated dao powers should have produced a considerable number of Myriad Dao Stones. As such, I want one Origin Stone to comprehend the dao of that person and two Myriad Dao Stones. That is the price."

"This...isn't a decision I can make."

"Feel free to fuck off, then." The Master of Chaos said, "Why are you here if you can't make the decision? Get the decision maker to see me. If you keep bothering me with unqualified envoys..."

Boom!

A claw swept forth, crushing the distant figure. That was not all. A wave of chaos power rippled out and spread to an unknown corner. There, a voice groaned.

Master of Chaos spoke indifferently, "This is a small punishment. Pay the price, and I'll consider your proposal. Otherwise, don't bother seeing me anymore."

And then, Master of Chaos vanished.

Once again, silence returned.

***

At the same time.

Inside the Heaven Gate.

A gigantic mountain floated in the middle of nothingness.

The mountain was big enough to be its own world.

Countless living beings resided on it. This was a forbidden zone.

Like a star, the mountain shone.

Eternal Life Mountain.

It had remained powerful for countless years. It was eternal. And no outsiders were allowed entry.

That day, a white figure appeared on its peak. A voice rang out, spreading throughout the mountain.

"Art. Release my sister, or I'll flatten the Eternal Life Mountain. It has been so many years. You should realize by now that you can't kill me. In that case, it is only a matter of time before I kill you. Do what's smart for you."

"Audacious!"

"You're courting death!"

"Die!"

Numerous powerful figures soared and shot toward Culture King. They had fought the two for too many years. Thus, they were already familiar with the two. They weren't flustered to see Culture King. Rather, they were furious at his impudence. How dare he enter the forbidden zone? Culture King was strong, but this was the Eternal Life Mountain!

Looking at all of them from high above, Culture King smiled, "In the past, I was worried about triggering an early opening of the Heaven Gate. Because of that, I held back. Do you really think you're something just because I was holding back?"

And then, a pair of white shoes appeared in the sky. A kick shot out, instantly reaching one of the approaching powerhouses before blasting a head apart. The charging powerhouses were stunned. That was followed by overwhelming shock.

How was that possible?

Right at that moment, a unique aura started soaring. Culture King's eyes flickered as he said with a laugh, "Come out and have some fun, Art."

A figure appeared in thin air. The newcomer regarded Culture King indifferently and said, "Your courage has grown."

He spoke casually, as though this was a regular conversation between friends. "Are you tired of living?"

Culture King grinned, "Somewhat."

And then, Culture King vanished.

The figure raised his brow. His eyes glowed as he gazed ahead and said, "Are you trying to lure me away? Sure, I'll play along."

As he stepped forth, a golden lotus appeared under his foot. With one step, he moved countless kilometers ahead. Once again, Culture King was visible before him.

Culture King turned to face him and said, "Tell me, Art. Who told you to trap my sister? If you answer, I can grant you a comfortable death."

The master of Eternal Life Mountain, Art, said, "Talk about killing me after actually killing me."

And then, he took another step forward while manifesting another lotus under him. Culture King did not stop. He continued fleeing. Art gave chase, but after a while, he stopped abruptly. Far ahead, a dark, hell-like world could be seen.

A grand voice boomed out, "Are both of you courting death? This seat has been leaving you alone, but you dare encroach upon my territory?"

A figure emanating an incredibly powerful aura appeared.

Master of Death.

Art frowned. What was Culture King trying to do? This guy was no pushover. Taking their fight to this guy's territory would only cause more chaos.

Culture King laughed and said, "Master of Death, do me a favor and kill him."

"..."

Master of Death wondered if Culture King had lost his mind. Who did that guy think he was? Why should he listen?

Master of Death was a powerful overlord even within the Heaven Gate. Even Art was unqualified to strut around before him.

Culture King laughed again, "What are you staring at? I have established contact with the outside world. Su Yu has been growing rapidly. I'm getting him to keep breaking your death spirit dao. Do you want your dao to remain when you return? Feel free to ignore me if you don't care about your dao."

This was so ridiculous Master of Death laughed. "Are you talking about that scoundrel? Is he even capable of that? Not to mention him, what can you do even if you're personally out there?"

Culture King laughed again and said, "He has mastered the life and death daos and created a world. Don't you know that?"

"..."

Instantly, Master of Death sank into silence.

Culture King continued, "I don't cultivate the life and death daos, so I naturally can't do anything. But the story is different for someone who has completed creation through the life and death daos. Your dao isn't even unbreakable. Why are you acting like you're untouchable? Yes, he's not your match. But you're not there, right? Consider killing Art. We can have a nice chat after that."

Master of Death sneered, "Are you threatening me? Sure. Tell that fellow to give it a try. So what if he has a death dao? My dao has been there for countless years. A mere brat can't do anything to it."

"You're such a boring guy." Culture King vanished. "So be it. Art, let's continue. Come catch me."

Art raised his brow. Just what was Culture King trying to do? This wouldn't be a guy he could catch easily. Culture King was weaker in combat, but he had too many tricks up his sleeve.

Art had thought that Master of Death was Culture King's trump card, but that wasn't the case either. It almost felt like Culture King was only here for a stroll.

Art started hesitating. After some thought, he vanished. He had decided to return. As for Culture King, there was no need to give chase. Culture King would return to the Eternal Life Mountain soon.

Not far away, Master of Death gazed in the direction of the two before vanishing as well.

At the same time, Culture King stopped, smiled, and started moving toward the Eternal Life Mountain. He would have a good time with Art. This guy had caused much trouble for him over the years. He had to remove this guy while the Heaven Gate was still shut.
