Paradise of Demonic Gods-Chapter 1144 - Heavenly Court

Regardless of whether living creatures were strong or weak and regardless of their various aspects including culture, background, and character, they all tended to have a great connection to their environment.

Several ten thousand years ago, the martial arts in the Central Continent developed to a great extreme. Everyone practiced martial arts, and almost every top-notch faction could traverse parallel worlds and send their own disciples to other worlds with Nine-Tiered Heavens, striving to clear the trials and progress up the Divine level.

In that golden era, the Central Continent and Miracle World had yet to be connected. Even Venerable Master Zhai Xing had not been born yet. Amongst the Central Continent’s top-notch factions, reaching tier one of the Divine level was merely the beginning.

The Ancient Heavenly Court, that had unified all the top-notch factions, had reached a pinnacle in terms of their influence, strength, and prowess. They had over ten tier nine Divine level existences alone.

They played around with space-time and had control over the law of causation, and their eyes could see through the past and the future.

However, as the number of experts increased, the Central Continent’s space gradually became unsuitable for them despite the fact that it was repeatedly stretched out and compressed to be modified in various ways.

Take for example, the ten or more tier nine Divine level existences. The energies they took in just from engulfing once could place the entire planet in darkness and coldness for over 100 years, entering the Ice Age.

The countless tier eight, seven, or six Divine level experts did not even need to be mentioned. With their existence itself, they would be able to destroy the ecosystem completely when the great mass and high levels of radiation they carried converged. Once there were too many of them, the planet’s environment became unable to recover in time, and the surviving environment for the lower level citizens got increasingly worse.

Moreover, as the environment continued to get destroyed, the ether particles weakened. All sorts of energies were being depleted at a rapid rate, and space-time was plunging down. The cultivating environment for the experts got increasingly worse.

Faced with this situation, a large number of high-level cultivators started to escape the Central Continent and head to other parallel universes to cultivate.

Even the Ancient Heavenly Court was unable to stop such a large-scale escape and immigration. After all, these people were leaving for the sake of their cultivation and future, and no one could compel them to do otherwise. There was also a large number of people within the Ancient Heavenly Court that wanted to leave the Central Continent.

Faced with such divided thoughts, the Ancient Heavenly Court finally made up their mind to leave the Central Continent entirely in search of a world that was more suitable for cultivation.

The Gate of Destinies was created under such a situation.

The painstaking efforts of many experts from the Ancient Heavenly Court, as well as countless resources from the entire Central Continent, were gathered for its creation. Not only did it allow the entire Ancient Heavenly Court to traverse worlds, but it was also able to absorb the energies from planets—all sorts of geothermal energy, radiation, light energy, electromagnetic energy, and other energies—to undergo evolution.

Each time it absorbed the energies, it could rapidly expand the space within it and improve the cultivating environment within the Gate of Destinies.

This meant that although the Gate of Destinies could allow for the transit through universes, its eventual goal was not just to traverse universes. Instead, it was to keep on improving the cultivating environment through the process of engulfing planets as it passed through universes.

The Ancient Heavenly Court’s final goal was to let the Gate of Destinies keep on traversing universes by itself and evolve, eventually evolving into the most outstanding cultivating environment. The goal was for it to be even capable of providing sufficient resources to tier nine Divine level experts, allowing them to attain further breakthroughs.

In fact, the many hellish worlds that Fang Xingjian passed through earlier were all the product of the Gate of Destinies drawing out the planets’ energies.

After these energies were sapped away by the Gate of Destinies, over half of them were used to improve the cultivating environment within the space. They would nurture all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures, create ether particles, and even prepare for the next trip to the subsequent world.

The other half would be distributed to the various members of the upper echelon in the Ancient Heavenly Court—especially those tier nine Divine level experts—for them to cultivate.

Regardless of whether it was in terms of nurturing heavenly and earthly treasures, cultivating resources’ efficiency, or the gate’s ability to engulf energies and convert ether particles, they all surpassed even that of tier nine Divine level experts.

Theoretically, as long as the Ancient Heavenly Court had this Divine Equipment in their control, they would be able to get stronger incessantly.

However, the current state inside of the Gate of Destinies—which was supposed to be of endless stretches of forests, a divine mountain, or a celestial valley that nurtured countless treasured medicine and divine herbs—appeared to be covered in the flames of war.

Many large floating fortresses moved about in the sky, and many streams of light rays that represented death descended from the sky, scattering onto the land, the sky, and in the lakes, incessantly vaporizing all sorts of matter.

Every now and then, there would be martial arts experts emitting martial wills in varying colors as they soared into the sky, flying toward those floating fortresses. The lucky ones would manage to break through the fortresses’ defensive barriers and cause some damage.

However, most of the people were only able to fly out a distance of several kilometers before getting struck by the streams of death rays. These people would be disintegrated into the endless lights and electricity in the air that slowly dissipated completely.

A crude and burly looking man, who held a nine-ringed broadsword, wore a tragic expression as he looked at the endless amount of dissipating light spots in the sky.

“Demons are wrecking havoc in the world. Disciples of the Golden Saber Sect listen up! Follow my lead and eliminate the demons!”

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh. Slashing sounds rang out, and several hundred male and female disciples behind the man soared into the sky together with him. They were like streams of golden saber Qis that cut across the sky, slashing through over ten floating fortresses before they were eventually struck by over 10,000 death rays and dissipated completely in midair.

Similar scenes were taking place in all corners within the Gate of Destinies. Many scenes of sacrificing oneself, one’s clan, or one’s sect in order to protect their homeland kept on occurring. The space within the entire Gate of Destinies seemed to have reached a moment of life or death.

In the very center of the space within the Gate of Destinies, a golden city with a radius of 100 lis floated in the air. Several ten million golden-armored armies were scattered out. The weakest one amongst them also emitted second transition level auras.

There were over one million Demigods and several ten thousand Divine level experts. At the very center, there were also several tens tier nine Divine level experts.

Their each and every move seemed to cause world-splitting prowess to flash about and countless layers of space-time to distort.

This was the terrifying battle prowess that the Ancient Heavenly Court had accumulated from the Gate of Destinies continuously engulfing many planets over a span of several ten thousand years.

The Ancient Heavenly Court’s army—the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals—had the terrifying martial prowess to crush most civilizations in the multivariate universe, in terms of both their quality and quantity.

However, at this moment, this great army with a number exceeding ten million was surrounded within the Ancient Heavenly Court’s Central Heavenly Palace. Outside the Heavenly Palace, there were the several million densely-packed floating fortresses surrounding it. Each of these floating fortresses emitted colorful spiritual light from magical arts that kept on shooting out high-energy magical arts’ spiritual light rays which could disintegrate the land and vaporize mountains and rivers.

The Ancient Heavenly Court’s several ten million soldiers kept on charging out, but they were still unable to break through the besiegement of these floating fortresses.

In the center of the Heavenly Palace, the Ancient Heavenly Court’s leader—tier nine Divine level expert Heavenly Emperor Malediction—was wearing a deep frown, worrying about the situation before them.
