Chapter 559: Chapter 507: Targeting Heavenly Gate, 29 Updates

The Saint delivered a Challenge Letter!

A month later, the young talents from the Five Immortal Forces were to personally take part in a challenge against the young powerhouses of the Heavenly Gate, claiming it was to compare martial skills and exchange knowledge.

However, one must understand that Canglan Sacred Land, Zhao Country, Xia Country, Blood Sunset Valley, and Red God Valley—these Five Great Forces—are indeed the true Immortal Forces of today, possessing ancient heritages of at least tens of thousands of years. They wield terrifying Ancient Weapons, and their deep-rooted strength is unimaginably fearsome.

Moreover, those who truly understand know that these Five Immortal Forces have significant grievances with the Combat Saint King.

There’s no need to mention Red God Valley; the king of this Immortal Force, the Red-scaled King, was slain by the Combat Saint King on the Black Sky Plain. The following pursuit of the Half-Saint Elders and the dispatched Red God Army were utterly annihilated as well.

As for the dire state of Canglan Sacred Land, Zhao Country, and Blood Sunset Valley, these four Great Immortal Forces suffered greatly in the starry region of the Emperor Pass where the Combat Saint King revived his Holy Body and successively slew the Saint and the Old Immortal, resulting in tremendous losses.

Such enmity could indeed be described as irreconcilable.

As for this so-called challenge, it was more about probing the real strength of the Combat Saint King and perhaps to humiliate and trample upon Heavenly Gate.

Everyone understood that although the present Heavenly Gate was extremely powerful, serving as the Supreme Tyrant among the Seven Great Domains, it had the Heavenly Gate Master—a Great Power of this era—overseeing it, looking down upon the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. Even the Immortal Forces had to show deference, and no one dared provoke it.

But how long had it really risen?

It was not a hundred years; barely half a century plus a few more years, that was all.

It possessed strong individuals, but the depth of its heritage was insufficient, a vital shortcoming.

Especially concerning the younger generation, although in recent years they had continuously undergone rigorous selections to choose truly talented youths to join and foster within Heavenly Gate—becoming the future mainstay of Heavenly Gate—

Even giving rise to rulers like the Wind King, Zhao Feng.

But after all, the time was too short, and many methods of nurturing the young generation hadn’t really been perfected. The young Heavenly talents had not yet truly grown to match the Immortal Forces, let alone facing the collective arrival of the Five Great Immortal Forces, which would undoubtedly send many gifted progeny making it extremely difficult to cope.

One could imagine that this could almost be a trampling battle of the younger generation of the Five Great Immortal Forces against the younger generation of Heavenly Gate.

Want to win?

Too difficult!

One could even foresee that this time, there would inevitably be young rulers emerging, a Wind King Zhao Feng might match one ruler, perhaps even the second.

But how long could he really last?

Many high-ranking members of Heavenly Gate became furiously incensed, even requesting Wang Chen and several elder ancestors to lead troops to attack these Immortal Forces.

Over the years, although Heavenly Gate was a newly rising power, who wasn’t aware of the Supreme Divine Power of the Heavenly Gate Master, a prominent Great Power of this era, looking over all domains? Anyone challenging him was clearly seeking death, even the Immortal Forces weren’t an exception.

But after the initial anger, a sober realization and terror set in.

Considering the now glorious and mighty force of Heavenly Gate, how could the Immortal Forces dare challenge it, not even the Five Great Immortal Forces dared provoke a contemporary Great Power, as that was plainly a death wish.

Everyone knew how powerful the Ancient Great Power was; he could attack the Immortal Heavenly Pass and also conquer across the Great Domains.

It can only be said that after the Five Immortal Forces, there must be the support of a Supreme Great Power, otherwise who would dare to do this.

Upon realizing this, there was shock; evidently, that Supreme Great Power was clearly targeting the Heavenly Gate, gathering those Immortal Forces who had grievances with the Combat Saint King, sending out their young elites to challenge the young disciples of the Heavenly Gate, intending to disgrace Heavenly Gate in front of everyone.

It is precisely because of this that Heavenly Gate is in a situation where they are unable to retaliate.

Even many people speculated about the identity of that Ancient Great Power, and most had indeed figured it out.

At this time, Wang Chen appeared in the main hall; all the elders, famous figures, and guest elders hurriedly paid their respects, not daring to neglect.

Wang Chen simply said, "Have all the disciples prepare, and welcome the challenge!"

His mere words caused an uproar in the hall; were they really going to face the challenge of the young elites from the Five Immortal Forces?

After learning this news, many of the younger, hot-blooded disciples at Heavenly Gate clenched their fists tightly, filled with anger, ready to fiercely teach these challengers a lesson on behalf of Heavenly Gate.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen came to the stone gate where Ye Chen was in seclusion, and softly said, "Qian Yue, if you know about this, come out of seclusion early, otherwise the reputation of Heavenly Gate will be trampled."

Even a powerful figure like Wang Chen couldn’t help but worry, sighing lightly.

The stone gate remained silent, not making any sound.

What Wang Chen did not know was that shortly after he turned to leave, inside the ancient stone gate, a faint light flickered, appearing mysterious...

Simultaneously, a month later, the matter of the young disciples from the Five Immortal Forces coming to challenge Heavenly Gate personally had somehow spread throughout Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Everyone felt an unprecedented turmoil emerging, stirring the world and attracting the attention of countless great forces.

Although it was just a seemingly ordinary challenge, everyone sensed an unusual aura, and even more powerful forces sent representatives to pay close attention to this challenge against the new supreme force, Heavenly Gate, by the young generation of the Five Great Forces.

Meanwhile, the Five Great Forces had already crossed the Domain Gate with several Divine Ships arriving in Tiancang Domain Main City, stationed there, and sent experts to deliver a Martial Arts Arena to the front of the Heavenly Gate, as the platform for the upcoming challenge, which was a hundred yards in length and width.

This made numerous disciples and elders at the Heavenly Gate furious; was this because they were worried Heavenly Gate wouldn’t dare accept the challenge, intentionally placing it here?

However, the matter was settled, and nothing could be changed.

In a remote location within the Supreme Sacred Land, one of the Ancient Giants was opening his profound eyes, with the terrifying aura of the rise and fall of Heavenly and Myriads of Realms manifesting, as if piercing through the void, seeing as far as Heavenly Gate in Tiancang Domain.

A month passed quickly.

This day, before the morning sun had risen and while the stars still shone in the sky, light after light flashed rapidly from the distant corners of the world toward this place.

Young elites, famous Loose Cultivators, and influential figures from major forces all arrived in front of the Heavenly Gate.

Before the sun had even risen, the beautiful landscape in front of Heavenly Gate was already packed with figures from various domains around the world, with barely any space left except for the central Martial Arts Arena.
