Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Enough, Switch to the Octal Saint

”Now that you’ve opened the Eight Gates, you are qualified to fight me...” Ye Yun said with an indifferent smile.

The First War God stared intently at the Defense Light Shield enveloping Ye Yun and asked sharply, ”Your Excellency, do you intend to hide behind this Defense Light Shield? Hiding your head and showing your tail, how can you call yourself a hero!”

”Whether I’m a hero or not is not for you to judge. If you can’t even break this shield, why should I bother to fight you?” Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and retorted with a light sneer.

Why would he even need to engage a little fellow whose combat power was merely comparable to that of a True God?

Ye Yun had only deployed the Defense Light Shield as a mere distraction.

The defensive power of his Ancestral Dragon Body was terrifying beyond imagination.

Even if he stood there and allowed The Saint of Eight Extremes to attack him for 100,000 years, not even a single hair on his body would be harmed.

Ye Yun was already invincible. Entering this Miniature World of the Immortal Pond was merely for his own amusement.

Naturally, he wouldn’t stoop to the level of these insignificant ants.

The current Ye Yun wouldn’t just kill others on a whim. Doing so would only make him feel bored to his core.

”...”

The First War God’s face stiffened. He suddenly remembered this man had sent The Seventh War God flying with a single slap.

This demonstrated the unimaginable formidability of his opponent’s attacks.

I must not underestimate him. He seems fearless, which means he must be extremely powerful. I cannot embarrass myself in front of the Saint... The First War God thought to himself.

At this moment, his mindset underwent a radical change.

The Saint of Eight Extremes’ thoughts stirred, and he spoke, ”First War God, open all Eight Gates directly and have a proper exchange of pointers with this fellow Daoist from the outside world. You absolutely must not hold back!”

”I understand, Saint!” The First War God bowed respectfully, his expression turning solemn.

Since even the Saint had said so, it was clear that this white-robed young man’s strength was also terrifyingly profound; he absolutely could not afford to hold back.

”Startling Gate—Open!”

Striking his body sharply, The First War God let out a furious roar.

WHOOSH!

A blood-red light shot up into the sky, dyeing a thousand miles red.

In that instant, The First War God’s stature had also grown to thirty feet tall.

Ye Yun secretly nodded. Impressive... He’s a genius indeed. He’s well deserving of being the foremost individual under The Saint of Eight Extremes...

He held this First War God in high regard.

After all, to achieve such a spectacular phenomenon having opened only one Divine Gate was truly commendable.

”So damn powerful!” The Feather Ancestor’s expression changed dramatically at the scene, and he exclaimed in terror, ”He’s opened only the first Divine Gate and already displays such a potent phenomenon! He truly deserves to be The First War God!”

”Feather Ancestor, we should move further away. It’s truly unimaginable; once all Eight Gates are opened, how widespread The First War God’s impact will be...” said the Tiger Ancestor, his face mournful.

”Let’s withdraw!” The Feather Ancestor sighed helplessly, leading the Seven Great Demon Ancestors to fly even farther away.

”Rest Gate—Open!”

”Dune Gate—Open!”

”Scenery Gate—Open!”

...

”Death Gate—Open!”

Repeatedly pounding his own body, The First War God roared continuously, opening seven Divine Gates within him in quick succession.

At this moment, an endless expanse of blood-red light had already extended for over ten thousand miles. The sky was as red as blood, and within the red, there was a hint of black, emitting a dreadfully eerie and horrific atmosphere resembling Hell.

The First War God’s body was continuously expanding, growing to a height of one hundred zhang in one go. He stood in the void like a gigantic, blood-red Demon God, his gaze fierce and his might unstoppable.

In contrast, Ye Yun, standing inside the Defense Light Shield, seemed rather insignificant.

Even with the opening of the same seven Divine Gates, The First War God’s body could swell to such a height. It seems that the Divine Gates within each person’s body hold their own unique profundities... Ye Yun thought, his eyes twinkling.

Although The First War God had not yet made a move, Ye Yun could determine that this fellow’s current combat power had already reached an ordinary Piece of True God Realm.

It had to be said, the Eight Extremes Divine Art indeed possessed its unique advantages.

It allowed the frail Human Race to possess a physique comparable to that of a Divine Beast.

Even if they went to the Divine Land and clashed with the Demon Clan, they would by no means be at a disadvantage.

Taking a slight breath, The First War God once again struck the position of his heart on his chest. Accompanied by a THUMP, the eighth Divine Gate within his body—the Life Gate—suddenly opened.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

A colossal, heart-like beating sound echoed between heaven and earth, as if the Nine Heavens God Drum was being beaten, the momentum exceptionally astonishing.

This thumping sound was vast, powerful, and intensely penetrating.

Cultivators below the Eternal Realm would likely be shaken into unconsciousness the moment they heard this sound.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH... An even more vigorous surge of qi and blood energy erupted from The First War God’s stalwart physique, billowing outwards like a raging tide.

The initial ten thousand miles of blood-light expanded outwards once more, finally reaching an astonishing thirty thousand miles!

And The First War God’s body, in that instant, surged from a height of a thousand feet to three thousand feet!

At this moment, he stood like an awe-inspiring Demon God in the void, looking down from an immense height, as lofty and unattainable as a Wushang Spirit, his power suppressing all living beings.

”How terrifying! Truly befitting of being the First War God of our Eight God Sect...” Lord War Sect, hiding behind The Saint of Eight Extremes, watched this scene blankly, his eyes filled with immense shock.

He had never witnessed any of the Eight Great War Gods in action.

Seeing The First War God open the Eight Divine Gates today, and his body surge to such a massive height—the visual impact and the shock it delivered to him were imaginable.

The other seven War Gods also looked at The First War God’s massive body with deep admiration in their eyes.

The Saint of Eight Extremes nodded with a smile, a look of gratification and expectation in his eyes.

The First War God was the disciple in the Eight God Sect with the highest probability of breaking through to the God Realm. He was also the key individual The Saint of Eight Extremes had been diligently cultivating.

”Take my punch!” The First War God’s eyes blazed fiercely, his body wreathed in blood-red light, as he smashed a fist down from mid-air.

The distance between him and Ye Yun was merely several hundred feet.

Now, there was no need to even take a step; he only had to lean forward and smash his fist down.

With this punch, The First War God held nothing back, unleashing the full, immense power of his body.

RUMBLE...

A massive, blood-red fist obliterated a large area of the void and descended fiercely, like a world-destroying Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Yun remained unperturbed. He merely watched The First War God’s attack carefully, continuously analyzing his current combat power.

After opening the Eight Gates, The First War God’s true combat power had surpassed the Piece of True God Realm and entered the Second Level of the True God Realm.

This breakthrough was already quite astounding.

Originally, he was merely at The Tenth Layer Peak of the Eternal Realm, but by opening the Divine Gates, he was able to continuously jump multiple levels in strength!

Even in the Divine Land, such Divine Techniques were extremely rare.

BOOM!

An earth-shattering sound suddenly erupted.

A colossal shockwave, like a world-destroying Heavenly Tribulation, roared and surged outwards in all directions.

The Saint of Eight Extremes’ brow twitched. He raised a single palm before him and, with a light chopping motion, Cut the shockwave in two.

The shockwave bypassed the crowd and impacted in other directions.

RUMBLE...

In an instant, distant mountain ranges collapsed one after another, turning into fine powder.

A vast force was instantly rebounded.

The First War God was rotating his body, preparing to strike again, when a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

”That’s enough. Let The Saint of Eight Extremes have a try.”
