Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Book 6: Chapter 039: We Have Booked the Dragon’s Gate

Book 6: Chapter 039: We Have Booked the Dragon’s Gate

Boom!

Di Shitian and Long Shenwu broke the Western Sea Dragon Palace’s barrier.

This time, the barrier did not regenerate. Furthermore, the cracks slowly enlarged.

Rumble…!

Surging seawater immediately poured into the dragon palace from the Western Sea.

It seemed like a hole appeared in the Western Sea, forming a humongous whirlpool on the sea surface as the water poured in.

Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!

The countless bats in the surroundings immediately flew away, not knowing what to do.

Long Shenwu and Di Shitian kept their guard up against each other. However, they entered the Western Sea Dragon Palace together.

Rumble…!

Subordinates from both factions followed the two in.

“Gu Hai! Ao Shun! Get out here!” Ao Sheng shouted coldly.

Long Shenwu and Di Shitian did not shout. Instead, they coldly surveyed the surroundings.

The Western Sea Dragon Palace was simply too massive. There were countless pavilions, palace halls, lakes, rivers, and mountains, and every location looked interesting and important. The group did not know where to go to find what they wanted. There were only billions of bats flying around, sweeping through the place.

“The dragon deity?” Di Shitian’s expression suddenly changed.

Boom!

Di Shitian flew towards the dragon’s gate. After all, he was a dragon and had formed a dragon deity. If his dragon deity consumed the Western Sea’s dragon deity, his dragon deity would grow even stronger.

Whoosh!

The dragon’s gate was not far away. Di Shitian soon arrived at the location.

“You are indeed here?” Di Shitian’s face sank.

Where’s Ao Shun?

Di Shitian looked up at the glowing white ball above the dragon’s gate, getting a bad premonition.

He landed in the dragon’s gate’s area.

Whoosh!

Di Shitian lost control over his energy, and the gravity around him increased a millionfold.

He had no time now to deal with Gu Hai’s group. He ran to the side of the feeble-water river and stomped abruptly.

Boom!

Di Shitian shot up like a cannonball, streaking towards the glowing white ball above the dragon’s gate.

“Oh no!” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed, as Di Shitian moved almost as fast as Gu Hai had earlier. Di Shitian could propel himself to the top of the dragon’s gate with one stomp.

Di Shitian showed a ferocious scowl, worried that Ao Shun would snatch away the Western Sea’s dragon deity. Right now, he was thinking of ways to force Ao Shun to hand over the Western Sea’s dragon deity.

Given Di Shitian’s strength, Ao Shun could not defeat him.

Bang!

Just as Di Shitian was about to reach the top of the dragon’s gate, a black figure suddenly shot over. This black shadow moved incredibly fast. The shadow’s sharp aura caused Di Shitian’s face to sink as he turned his head to look.

He saw a boulder shooting toward him like a sharp arrow.

“You bastard!” Di Shitian’s face sank as he threw a palm strike.

Boom!

Di Shitian instantly smashed that rock. However, it deflected his trajectory, causing him to fall in another direction.

Di Shitian’s expression turned cold. “Gu Hai, it’s you?”

Gu Hai had tossed the earlier rock.

Bang! Di Shitian landed.

Gu Hai looked at Di Shitian coldly. “Di Shitian, you can seek out the other things of the Western Sea Dragon Palace. We have booked the dragon’s gate!”

Booked?

What bold words! It has been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like this.

“Gu Hai, are you looking for death?” Di Shitian said coldly.

Di Shitian looked like he wanted to make another attempt.

“You can try again. However, the next time will not be a rock!” Gu Hai said coldly.

Di Shitian’s expression chilled.

“Humph! Ignorant fool, since you are seeking death, I will send you on your way!” Di Shitian said coldly.

As Di Shitian spoke, his body suddenly turned into a black arrow shooting across the distance.

The black arrow moved so fast that it was already too late for Shangguan Hen to stop him.

Who was Di Shitian? He was comparable in strength to Long Shenwu, and he was the leader of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s Eight Heavenly Dragon Tribes, a faction of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land equal to an imperial dynasty. Would it be difficult for him to kill an up-and-coming talent?

Whoosh!

Di Shitian moved strangely fast in this place where movement was strenuous. He arrived before Gu Hai in an instant and threw a punch, poised to destroy Gu Hai in one attack.

Gu Hai showed a cold expression as he stepped forward with his left foot and arched his right leg. He met the attack head-on, counterpunching.

Boom!

The two’s fists clashed. The firm black stone under their feet immediately shattered into countless rocks that shot in all directions and pierced holes in the stone pillars around them.

In this head-on clash, Gu Hai remained in place, unmoved. However, Di Shitian’s figure stopped.

“You…?” Di Shitian’s face sank.

“This is a clash of the physical body. While our cultivation cannot compare to yours, your physical body does not compare to ours,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Hah! Hahaha! I cultivate the ruthless killing Dao. Would I be incomparable to you?” Di Shitian glared and threw another punch at Gu Hai.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The series of clashes caused rock fragments to shoot out in all directions. Even Shangguan Hen could not deal with these rock fragments, quickly distancing himself while carrying the cultivating Chang Ming.

Boom!

Di Shitian moved one step back, glaring at Gu Hai, who had not budged a single step.

“We already said we have booked the dragon’s gate,” Gu Hai said coldly.

Di Shitian did not retreat. Instead, battle hunger flashed in his eyes.

“We admit to your logic. Even so, we will not shrink back. We never shrink away. The heart of ruthless killing does not permit one to shrink away. Again!” Di Shitian roared with a ferocious expression.

Rumble…!

The two resumed fighting.

Loud sounds rang out as the battle proceeded. This attracted the attention of everyone searching the Western Sea Dragon Palace.

——

“The Western Sea’s dragon deity?” Ao Sheng’s eyes lit up.

Whoosh!

Ao Sheng immediately shot towards the dragon’s gate’s area.

——

“Block him!” Gu Hai shouted as he fought Di Shitian.

“Yes!” Shangguan Hen rushed over.

“Humph! To think that you dare to get distracted when fighting me?!” Di Shitian snorted coldly as he landed a punch on Gu Hai’s chest.

Thud!

However, Gu Hai’s chest was like a metal wall—extremely hard. Di Shitian’s punch proved ineffective.

“Di Shitian, you are not our match in the dragon’s gate’s area. Scram!” Gu Hai shouted.

Boom!

Gu Hai knocked Di Shitian back about twenty-five meters.

“Hahahahaha! I will beat you up in the dragon’s gate area!” Di Shitian refused to back off.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two continued exchanging blows.

——

On the other side, as Ao Sheng rushed towards the dragon’s gate, Shangguan Hen blocked him, swinging a large tortoiseshell at him.

“Haha! Loathsome tortoise, you want to block me? Previously, you could not even defeat that monkey! You are truly seeking death!” Ao Sheng swung his sword down.

Boom!

Ao Sheng knocked Shangguan Hen back. Both the sword and the tortoiseshell shattered.

“Humph! Ignorant!” Ao Sheng tried to press his advance.

However, Shangguan Hen moved to block Ao Sheng again.

“You can forget about going over with me around!” Shangguan Hen said with a determined expression.

Boom!

Ao Sheng threw a punch. In this place, one could rely on only one’s physical body. Although Shangguan Hen was slower here, he possessed a considerably robust physical body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After being continuously knocked back by Ao Sheng, Shangguan Hen’s body was bloodied. However, Shangguan Hen refused to give up.

“How troublesome! Loathsome tortoise, just say if you want to die! If we weren’t in the dragon’s gate’s area, I would have killed you long ago! Roar!”

Ao Sheng turned into a large black dragon and swung its tail at Shangguan Hen.

Shangguan Hen’s expression changed, and he immediately transformed into a large profound tortoise.

Boom!

The dragon tail smashed into Shangguan Hen’s tortoiseshell.

“Again!” Shangguan Hen roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Roar!”

The black dragon extended its body and coiled around the profound tortoise. With the two’s cultivations rendered useless, they could only fight with their physical bodies, so resuming their true forms was best. Two powerful beasts immediately started fighting, tearing at each other.

The surrounding stone pillars were reduced to rubble in the fallout.

Eventually, the black dragon wrapped around the profound tortoise, immobilizing it.

“The black tortoise’s prime? Hah! Hahahaha! You are only so-so! Watch as I bite your head off!” The black dragon showed a ferocious expression, bringing its jaws towards the profound tortoise’s head.

At this moment, the profound tortoise was completely bound and unable to move. It felt extremely anxious. It tried to retract its head into the shell, but a dragon claw held its head in place.

A tortoise’s body was very tough; regular weapons could not penetrate it. However, a dragon’s teeth were very sharp, looking like they could pierce its head.

“Roar!”

The black dragon made to bite.

Shangguan Hen could no longer do anything.

Suddenly, a black ball struck the dragon’s teeth.

Boom!

The dragon’s teeth shattered.

“Roar!”

The black dragon howled in pain. However, it was not over yet. The black ball crashed into the dragon’s head, bloodying it. The profound tortoise immediately escaped.

“It’s you? A loathsome bat?” The black dragon scowled ferociously at the nearby awakened Chang Ming, its mouth bleeding.

“Many thanks, Lord Chang!” Shangguan Hen said with lingering fear.

“Prime Shangguan is too polite. Just leave the rest to me,” Chang Ming said, smiling.

“Leave the rest to you? Roar! You are seeking death!” The black dragon swung its tail at Chang Ming.

“Lord Chang, be careful!” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed.

When the large tail swung down, Chang Ming showed no fear. He suddenly extended his hands and grabbed the dragon’s tail.

Boom!

Chang Ming caught the tail.

Shangguan Hen and Ao Sheng felt startled.

“Aren’t you only in the peak Middle Heavenly Palace Realm?” Ao Sheng asked in shock.

“I just broke into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm earlier,” Chang Ming said, his smile turning cold.

Buzz!

A faint, blue light appeared over Chang Ming’s body. Then, he suddenly grew stronger.

“You broke into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? That’s not right. You are at the very least in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s third layer. The Earthly Soul Essence? You absorbed all the Essence in the Earthly Soul Essence? Eight hundred thousand years of Essence?” Ao Sheng’s expression changed.

“That’s right. There was too much Essence. I only used a tenth to break into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. I refined the rest into energy to help me make further breakthroughs in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Rise!” Chang Ming roared.

Exerting some strength, Chang Ming swung the large black dragon.

Just as Chang Ming wanted to toss the black dragon, it twisted its body and escaped.

“Roar!”

Rumble…!

The black dragon landed and charged ferociously at Chang Ming.

With a fierce scowl, Chang Ming threw a punch.

Boom!

Both the man and the dragon rebounded thirty meters before stopping.

Some shock flashed in Shangguan Hen’s eyes. “Refined Essence into energy? To think that Chang Ming is equal to Ao Sheng now?”

Chang Ming and Ao Sheng fought an intense battle. Shangguan Hen showed a faintly bitter smile. It seemed that there was no room for interference.

Shangguan Hen moved to the side.

Now, Chang Ming was enough to block Ao Sheng.

——

On the other side, Gu Hai fought with Di Shitian, who refused to give up.

Long Shenwu watched the battle from outside with narrowed eyes.

“Early-stage Middle Heavenly Palace Realm? To think that Gu Hai’s physical body is stronger than Di Shitian’s? Hah! Indeed, anyone Long Zhanguo thought highly of is extraordinary. The Han Nation borders the Wu Nation. A campaign there is inevitable in the future. We will make sure you stay here forever today!” Long Shenwu’s eyes turned cold.

Bang!

Long Shenwu stepped into the dragon’s gate’s area, then shot straight at Gu Hai like a sharp arrow.

Gu Hai was fighting Di Shitian. The two currently had their palms against each other; it seemed like he was firmly suppressing Di Shitian. However, he had his back open.

Long Shenwu approached nearly instantaneously, with a sword in hand. He looked like he would stab Gu Hai through the heart from the back.

“Your Reverence!” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed.

There was no time to think. Shangguan Hen immediately leaped up with its large profound tortoise body.

Phish!

The sword ran through the profound tortoise.
