Chapter 1344: Chapter 18: Heavenly Gate Bloodbath (Part 3)

Duo Wen Tianwang directly tossed the "Mixed Treasure Umbrella" in his hand into the sky. The umbrella spun and opened up, forming a gigantic vortex beneath it like a black hole, generating terrifying suction! The few immortal ships and dozens of Immortals at the back were immediately engulfed by the suction, dragged towards the umbrella’s base, disappearing in an instant without even a chance to scream.

In truth, with the strength of these thousands of Immortals, if they were well-prepared and faced the battle head-on, they might not have lacked the power to fight.

The problem was that from the start, the players had the idea of "breaking through", not one was willing to stop and obstruct. Everyone thought of escape, facing the pursuit from the Four Great Heavenly Kings from behind, they completely lost the will to fight, leaving only the desperate urge to flee.

Defeat was swift and inevitable!

Xiao Jie saw at a glance how dire the situation was — if they didn’t push forward, everyone would die here!

"Accelerate! Quickly!" Xiao Jie urgently urged Heavenly Venerate.

At this moment, there were still many Heavenly Soldiers blocking the way ahead, but compared to the four earth-shattering Heavenly Kings behind, they were less terrifying.

"Received!" Heavenly Venerate gritted his teeth and pushed the flying boat’s power to the limit!

Buzz—!

The Calamity Crossing Flying Boat exploded with astonishing speed, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bowstring! It nimbly maneuvered past several battling groups, threading through the gaps in the conflict.

Xiao Jie didn’t forget to observe the battlefield while speeding through.

He saw a medium-sized Immortal Ship being forcibly chopped apart by hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers, spiraling down towards the cloud sea below, and in the fiery explosion, burning figures struggled to fly out, only to be engulfed by a rain of arrows.

He saw the kilometer-long Red Dragon roaring as it tore apart an Immortal Ship unable to dodge in time, the Immortals aboard falling like dumplings.

He saw a Heavenly Immortal displaying strong cultivation, slaughtering back and forth among the Heavenly Soldiers, where his sword light passed, the Heavenly Soldiers fell like mown grass. But soon, dozens of "Law Enforcement Celestial Officials" wearing golden robes and wielding "Imperial Decree Golden Talisman" arrived from behind and struck simultaneously — dozens of "Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder", "Soul Suppressing Golden Light", "Binding Immortal Chains", and other powerful Divine Skills wove into a net, instantly piercing his Protective Immortal Light. In the next second, he was overwhelmed by the tide-like Heavenly Soldiers, only letting out a single unwilling furious roar.

Tragic.

Too tragic.

The battle between Immortals and Divine beings left a deeply memorable impression.

Despite suffering such heavy losses, the fleet’s vanguard still managed to break past the final blockade of Heavenly Soldiers with a desperate charge!

Whizz—!

The first Immortal Ship passed through the thousand feet tall crimson gate, disappearing into the glow behind the gate.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Next followed the second ship, third ship, fourth ship...

Victory was within reach!

Xiao Jie and Heavenly Venerate’s Calamity Crossing Flying Boat also, at this moment, reached the front of the gate!

"Hold tight!" Heavenly Venerate roared wildly, and the flying boat suddenly dove + lifted, narrowly avoiding several long spears stabbing from the side, and then—

They were through!

Suddenly, the view brightened!

The deafening sounds of battle cries and explosions behind instantly diminished significantly.

Those Heavenly Soldiers... indeed, they stopped their pursuit. They continued to besiege the Immortal Ships and Immortals who hadn’t crossed the threshold outside the door, but none crossed that threshold.

Emperor Shitian’s speculation seemed correct! Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they passed the South Heavenly Gate, it was akin to entering the "next map", at least temporarily... safe.

Heavenly Venerate also discovered this point, let out a long breath: "Damn it... survived at last."

The Calamity Crossing Flying Boat slowly decelerated, hovering above a peaceful sea of clouds.

In front of them were layers upon layers of pavilions, towers, palaces, and halls stretching to an unseen end. Built upon the hills, tier upon tier, they are hidden amid vast golden clouds and colorful glows. Steps of white jade, tiles of gold, decorated beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and bracketed cornices, all exquisitely beautiful, exuding an ancient and sacred atmosphere.

Further away, the "Sealing God Pillar" connecting the heavens and earth looms in the mist, faintly emanating a light golden glow, with what seems to be countless small runes slowly flowing on the pillar’s body.

This is the Nine Heavens Divine Court...

Truly magnificent and indistinguishable from the imaginary Heavenly Court!

No... more magnificent, more grand, and... more desolate than imagined.

Yes, desolate.

Such a grand complex, yet not a sound of human voice, not a single active silhouette in sight. Only eternal glow, silent flowing mist, and that air-permeating faint sense of decay and rot.

"Succeeded..." Xiao Jie murmured, a surge of indescribable complex emotions rose in his heart—gladness at surviving the ordeal, awe at witnessing the spectacle, and anxiety towards the unknown path ahead.

Whizz whizz whizz—

Behind them, Immortal Ships continuously passed through the South Heavenly Gate.

But the quantity... evidently less than before.

The Immortals did not rush forward, all stopped to reorganize formations, heal wounds, replenish elixirs, and wait for companions.

However, after waiting for a full five minutes, no new Immortal Ship came through.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the sounds of battle cries had gradually quieted. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The silhouettes of the Four Heavenly Kings stood once more before the gate, like four silent gods of death. And outside the gate on the cloud sea, countless wrecks of Immortal Ships, corpses of Immortals, and slowly dispersing fragments of Heavenly Soldiers floated.

A scene of chaos, like an Asura’s realm.

A Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance flew to Emperor Shitian’s side, reporting with a pale face:

"Alliance Hierarch... it’s counted. Those who passed the South Heavenly Gate, including our own, a total of... eight hundred and twelve people."

"We lost close to two-fifths of our forces. The decoy unit... suffered total casualties."

Emperor Shitian was silent for a moment.

He looked around at the eight hundred Immortals still in shock and wounded, then raised his head towards that pillar connecting heaven and earth.

"Eight hundred it is... it’s enough." He said firmly, lifting his hand, pointing directly at that giant pillar, his eyes burning with fierce determination:

"Our goal is there—Sealing God Pillar."

"As long as we seize it, we can command millions of Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals!"

"As long as we seize it, we will have the capital to oppose the Demon Lord and save the world!"

"Now—reorganize the team, check the equipment, ten minutes later, we advance towards the depths of the Divine Court!"

The surviving Immortals, all looked towards Emperor Shitian, then towards that distant massive pillar.

In their eyes, no fear, only excitement.

They had crossed the hell of the South Heavenly Gate.

Now, it was time to seize the power of heaven.
