Gate of God

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was a kind of pain that went down to the bone.

That was the pain that the Space-splitting Demon God was experiencing. This excruciating pain caused him to tremble uncontrollably and his face paled.

“He kicked… kicked it?!”

“How is that possible?”

Monster Emperor Baizhi and the monster kings watched in disbelief.

Regardless of whether they believed it, Fang Zhengzhi indeed kicked it. Furthermore, he was spot on and had used all of his strength.

Of course, it was not because he kicked fast enough. In fact, the Space-splitting Demon God had already made a defensive movement when Fang Zhengzhi made his move.

However…

The Space-splitting Demon God did not manage to block the kick.

That was because when he did his defensive move, a powerful restraining force caused him to stop moving temporarily.

It was for a very short period of time, but it was sufficient.

Boom! At the instant when Fang Zhengzhi kicked the Space-splitting Demon God, a loud and powerful explosive sound was heard. That was because the gigantic palm had slapped down.

While blocking the attack, the traceless sword made a loud and clear sound.

When the palm and traceless sword collided, a gigantic airwave spread towards all directions. It was so strong that it made countless black cracks in the surrounding space. Yet strangely, Fang Zhengzhi was enclosed within an odd purple light shield.

“He blocked it?!” Not only could the monster kings not believe what had just happened, but even Fang Zhengzhi felt the same way when he saw the purple light shield around his body.

Yet these were no longer important.

He had indeed blocked the attack made by the Space-splitting Demon God. Therefore, driven by the mindset of “kick someone when they’re down”, he threw a punch towards the face of the Space-splitting Demon God.

Bam! Once again, he managed to hit the Space-splitting Demon God right in the center of his face. Since the start, the Space-splitting Demon God had not made a single dodge.

Fresh red blood flowed out of the corner of the Space-splitting Demon God’s mouth. It was evident that he was in pain after being hit by the punch.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi was almost equally as powerful as Monster Emperor Baizhi. In fact, he was even stronger than Yan Yin.

Of course, most importantly, the Space-splitting Demon God did not even dodge or had any intention to defend. Therefore, no matter how powerful he was with a ‘god’ level, it was impossible for him to remain unharmed.

Yet, the Space-splitting Demon God lived up to his name.

Although Fang Zhengzhi’s attack had hit the face of the Space-splitting Demon God, he was not defeated by the attack. Instead, he stood quietly on the spot with his eyes widened.

This was out of Fang Zhengzhi’s expectations.

Chi Guyan was unquestionably powerful. Even someone who was in the ordinary sage state was not her opponent if she chose to make use of her Gifted Bloodline.

Yet, Chi Guyan had not entered the sage state. She was not able to fully utilise both her Gifted Bloodline and her capabilities.

Furthermore, she was severely injured.

Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi was certain that with her current condition, Chi Guyan could not possibly control the Space-splitting Demon God for such a long duration. In fact, it would be exaggerating if she could even control him for a second.

Yet why did the Space-splitting Demon God not make any movements after he was attacked by Fang Zhengzhi?

Could it be that…

Chi Guyan had reached the Sage State?!

As this thought struck him, Fang Zhengzhi looked beneath at the pink figure amongst the dozens of monster kings.

Chi Guyan’s black long hair swayed behind her back.

Chi Guyan’s beauty was one that left the world in awe. Even though she was severely injured, the arrogance on her face could not be hidden.

Combined with the enormous faint shadow when she turned behind, in particular, the cold, bright, long five-colored snake tail that was above all living things, her beauty gave an extremely high degree of invasion.

Unfortunately, however…

There was no marking on her forehead that represented the sage state. Her face was as pale as ever and perspiration trickled down her forehead.

It was evident that Chi Guyan could not have lasted until now solely by using her origin energy. She had lasted because of her willpower and determination.

“Mother… Mother Earth?!” At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi heard a trembling voice.

Space-splitting Demon God!

This voice was not foreign to Fang Zhengzhi. However, as compared to the voice that was filled with coldness and despise, Space-splitting Demon God’s voice was filled with astonishment.

Moreover, there was a quiver in his voice.

“Mother Earth?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Space-splitting Demon God’s face of astonishment and blood, then looked at the pink figure a distance away, and was stunned as well.

Apart from him, Monster Emperor Baizhi, the Monster Kings who were surrounding Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu were also stunned after hearing the Space-splitting Demon God’s words

“Mother Earth?”

“Was Space-splitting Demon God referring to Chi Guyan?”

“Chi Guyan is Mother Earth?!”

“How is that possible?”

Almost every human and monster in the Holy Region has know that Chi Guyan had a powerful gift and had the First Bloodline.

Yet the origin and specialty of the First Bloodline was unclear to all.

After all, Chi Guyan was not old. Besides that, she did not spend a lot of time outside. Except for the time when she showcased her capabilities during the examination for the Law of Dao in the Great Xia Dynasty few years ago, she spent most of her time in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Most importantly…

The era of Mother Earth had long passed. It was almost untraceable except for a few records in the historical books.

Yet, the Space-splitting Demon God was different.

Amongst the humans, demons and monsters, the Space-splitting Demon God was the most familiar with Mother Earth. He was the only one who witnessed the presence of Mother Earth.

“Demon Deity, her name is Chi Guyan and she is only seventeen. Although she is extraordinarily gifted, she is not Mother Earth!” After being stunned for a moment and exchanging gazes with each other, one of the elder of the demon race said loudly.

“Chi Guyan?” The Space-splitting Demon God looked at the enormous faint shadow behind Chi Guyan and frowned.

As he frowned, a beam of purple light flashed across his eyes. Then, the Space-splitting Demon God felt the pain on his chest.

“…”

“…”

It happened very quickly, so quickly that even the elders of the demon race and Monster Emperor Baizhi who had been looking at the Monster Emperor Baizhi could not react.

Nevertheless, a sword was inserted into the Space-splitting Demon God’s chest and the evil purple light glowed on the sword. Although it was not fully inserted into his body, blood had flowed out.

Shock and horror.

Fang Zhengzhi was also shocked. He sprang his attack. Before the Space-splitting Demon God regained his senses, he grabbed his traceless sword and stabbed it in the Space-splitting Demon God’s chest.

However, after about an inch, he encountered a powerful force that prevented his sword from further sinking in.

“Ah!!!” A loud roar was heard. Then, an enormous and terrifying force surged towards Fang Zhengzhi’s chest.

The Space-splitting Demon God was infuriated.

This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi had seen such a furious emotion after arriving in this world. The anger had made the Space-splitting Demon God forget about the bet with Yun Qingwu.

He took a step forward.

Without any consideration, the Space-splitting Demon God crashed into Fang Zhengzhi and his thick armor glowed with extraordinarily bright radiance.

Bam! The powerful force made Fang Zhengzhi feel like he was being hit by a tall mountain. He was sent flying uncontrollably backwards.

The next moment, he felt a powerful sense of crisis surging towards him. It was a beam of light that was hidden in the dark. It was extremely sharp and fast that it made one quiver.

Fang Zhengzhi was not foolish.

He knew that it was the black bone spur that the Space-splitting Demon God had kept all along. Therefore, when he felt the sense of crisis, his body glowed with an azure blue radiance too.

Swoosh! Fang Zhengzhi appeared at a spot that was three steps away. However, he had a cut on his left hand.

It was a small cut but an extremely deep one. Blood splattered across the sky and landed on the white flowers on top of the Tree of God.

Everything happened in an instant.

From stabbing the Space-splitting Demon God’s chest with the Traceless Sword to Fang Zhengzhi being pushed by the Space-splitting Demon God, and finally to how the black bone spur penetrated Fang Zhengzhi’s left hand, everything happened in a blink of an eye.

“What the f*ck…” Fang Zhengzhi started perspiring with cold sweat. If he had not dodged at the last moment, he would have been stabbed in his heart instead of his left hand.

It was too fast!

Moreover, the Space-splitting Demon God had moved. Not only that, he had used his weapon, the black bone spur.

How about the bet agreement?

Where was the trust between people?

“Die!” The Space-splitting Demon God’s voice could be heard again. Clearly, he did not care about the bet agreement at this point in time and the only thing he had in mind was to kill Fang Zhengzhi.

Since he did not kill Fang Zhengzhi with one strike, the Space-splitting Demon God had movedd once again. He disappeared from his spot as though he had blended into the darkness.

“Shameless thief, watch out!” Witnessing the disappearance of the Space-splitting Demon God, Chi Guyan’s snake tail turned into a stream of light and whipped at Fang Zhengzhi’s back.

Boom!

Fang Zhengzhi fell forward as he was struck by the whip. It was so powerful that he nearly dropped the Traceless Sword in his hand.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse.

However, he did not manage to do so because as he fell, a chilling black light ray flashed across the spot he was at.

Then, the Space-splitting Demon God appeared beneath the black light ray. Although the blood on his chest had solidified, the anger in his face seemed to have grown.

“Looks like you are indeed not Mother Earth!” The Space-splitting Demon God took a glance at Chi Guyan with a cold expression. “Mother Earth had already died. So… You should not continue to live in this world!”

As he spoke, the darkness surrounding him spread towards all directions.

Then, he disappeared once again.

It was very fast, so fast that there were no disruptions to the surrounding space. It was no longer the ultimate speed but rather a literal vanish.

The next moment, a ray of black light had reached Chi Guyan.

“Oh no, dodge!” Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint who were standing beneath finally reacted and shouted when they saw the black light.

However, the black light had came too quickly. Furthermore, nobody had expected that the Space-splitting Demon God would suddenly attack Chi Guyan.

“Attack!” Chi Guyan yelled softly. Meanwhile, the faint shadow behind her shook violently and an extremely powerful aura exuded from the body of the faint shadow.

Boom!

The two forces of power collided and the black light shook a little. Very quickly, the black light disappeared into the broken space.

It appeared as though Chi Guyan had successfully blocked the attack. Yet everyone knew that when the black light reappeared, Chi Guyan would be dead.

Then…

The black light reappeared.

This time, it appeared at the position of Chi Guyan’s heart. It was cold and sharp and the entire space seemed to have been frozen.

Time seemed to have stopped.

However, surprisingly, after the black light appeared, instead of entering her heart, it quietly remained at the front of it.

That was because a red chain was coiled around the black light.

Near-Life Key!

Crack! The red chain shook and cracks appeared on it. However, this did not have much effects as the dark green chain had coiled around the black light again.

The instant when the dark green chain appeared, a gigantic black figure appeared in the sky. Eight complex symbols shone at the eight different positions of the figure.

“You are not stupid, don’t you know your opponent is me?!” A furious roar was heard. Then, a fist surrounded by black armor and black flames appeared at the back of the black light.

Boom! A terrifying airwave tumbled like the tornado. The powerful aura blew on the pink dress and the black hair of Chi Guyan.

As the airwave tumbled, the Space-splitting Demon God appeared. With an extremely fast speed, he retreated in the other direction.

Following that, another figure appeared in front of Chi Guyan. It was wrapped with black armor and blazing flames were burning on the armor.
