Star Gate

Some exalted emperors looked around wildly. Disorder was growing stronger over the course of battle. Long Zhan had ripped apart three ninth rank replicas and now Disorder had killed one. There were less than two dozen ninth ranks remaining in the battlefield, and they were all replicas!

The longer they fought, the weaker they became!

“I summon those of Life and Death to suppress Disorder!” someone growled from the crowd. A world loomed out of the gloom and reawakened with a frisson. It was like life and death were establishing new frontiers...

Darkness and death materialized in the far distance. Life and vitality did so as well!

A world surfaced from the pits of hell. Various ancient existences within it rapidly gained consciousness. The dao of life and death snaked through the chaos.

Multiple powerhouses appeared and the power of life and death oscillated. An ancient chanting echoed, “Life and death follow. We respectfully greet our dao master. The world of Life and Death returns to the chaos!”

The world of Life and Death hovered in the air, it was located in the east, where Reincarnation major world had been. How astonishing!

The dao spirit of life and death traversed the chaos. Several heavyweights strode through the void, ignoring distance in the chaos. They honed in on the coordinates given by the dao master of life and death.

Some of them brimmed with life, others drifted like ghosts. They crossed the distance separating them from their dao master and headed to the battlefield.

They were very fast, but not fast enough.

The void rippled as Skyward grunted. A passageway seemed to pop into existence within the chaos universe.

“There’s more of you out there!” he growled. “I’ve built a spatial passageway to facilitate travel. Have all of them travel to the battlefield to meet Disorder in battle!”

Disorder punched again, on the verge of killing his second ninth rank replica. He ground his teeth to see these bastards summoning more of their subordinates!

Damn it! Are you calling for backup because you can’t beat me?!

The other ninth ranks were inspired by the dao master of life and death. Someone else followed suit. “Everyone, it’s best to be of one heart and work together at a time like this!”

“Yin and yang are separated from one another, yet the dao of yin and yang materializes!” Another person called out in a low voice, like they were summoning spirits.

Another massive world appeared in the distance and the avenues of yin and yang appeared. They seemed to be the taiji diagram, but also heaven and hell.

The Human King was almost drooling next to him! His head whipped between the major world and the dao master of yin and yang. How damn! This is a whole world of yin and yang! I knew about the dao master of yin and yang, but didn’t think that his world was still there!

That’s a ninth rank world!

IwantitIwantitIwantit!

If New Martial can eat this world... Man, that would be living the best life! I can’t imagine how delicious it would be!

“Exalted emperors of New Martial!” Fang Ping suddenly roared. “I bid you to... stop them and cut off Yin and Yang! Devour them!”

“......” Chaos Sky glowered.

“Let’s stop fighting, bro.” The Human King swallowed hard and suddenly begged his opponent, “You go handle Disorder and I’ll handle Yin and Yang. We should switch targets. There’s nothing in it for you if you kill me, and the same goes for me if I kill you.

“Why don’t we change who we’re attacking?

“You might get the dao of time if you beat Disorder and I’ll get the major world of Yin and Yang, as well as its dao master’s replica if I beat him. My New Martial will be rich! How about it, Brother Chaos Sky?”

Chaos Sky’s jaw stopped, mid grind. Spring Autumn wanted to break out in hearty curses!

“Old Sis Spring Autumn, you can take on the dao master of life and death!” Li Hao suddenly yelled. “Once you take that world, you’ll have so much life energy that your kind... might stand a chance!”

Change opponents!

There was no point in killing Chaos Sky or not. They might as well change the direction of their focus! Chaos Sky wants time, the Human King wants yin and yang, and Spring Autumn can take life and death...

Chaos Sky blinked. To be frank, the Human King made sense. He’d long tired of fighting these two, there was absolutely no point to it. But at the moment... he wanted to collapse in a mental breakdown.

Damn it!

We’re fighting to the death here, and you want to switch opponents!

Right, I might have a chance to seize time if I fight Disorder, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the Human King taking on Yin Yang. It’s great for everyone, but... you do remember that we’re in the middle of a death duel??

Are you kidding me, Human King?!

“C’mon, the ninth ranks all suck!” leered the Human King. “We’ll take as many down as we can! If not now, then when? Forget Li Hao for now. Everything’s a huge mess. Why don’t we just attack whoever we want? Filling our own stomachs is key!”

Fang Ping was nearly crying from how much he lusted over that major world. Are you going to change targets or not, Chaos Sky??

Chaos Sky hesitated for a moment more before grinding his teeth and whirling around. “Nine Layer Guard, follow me in attacking Disorder!”

Forget it!

Clashing with New Martial and Silver Moon wasn’t the key at the moment. The key was the dao of time.

The Human King clearly wasn’t of a mind to pay attention to anyone else. He grinned widely and rushed the dao master of yin and yang.

“Yin Yang, you old fart, take my blade! One of us will die here today!”

This would be a true fight to the death! Fang Ping wouldn’t be content with not killing the dao master of yin and yang. This was such a rich piece of meat!

If he ate this major world, New Martial and all its people would grow stronger. Big Cat and the rest would improve as well. This was an incredibly rich picking!

Spring Autumn was growing confused by all the sudden changes to plan. But she set her jaw as well, the Human King made sense. With that, she sped for the dao master of life and death. “Eat my palm strike, old fart Life Death!”

The two dao masters nearly spat blood with outrage. The fuck?? Are we good matches for you guys?!

They likely weren’t, not in single combat. Long Zhan had been able to kill three of them when fighting one against three, Spring Autumn and the Human King weren’t weaker than Long Zhan. Spring Autumn was even stronger.

That these two had opted to choose them... was such incredibly bad luck.

The Skyward master ignored them after a quick glance. This was just as well!

Chaos Sky’s participation wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Chaos Sky was a premier existence, after all. It was the same outcome no matter what combination of people fought, so the Skyward master couldn’t be bothered with this part of the battlefield.

He maintained the spatial transport and continued roaring, “Is there anyone else? Have them all come out! Or do you expect a bunch of eighth ranks left behind as the rear guard to conquer the universe?”

These eighth ranks had remained simply to occupy first mover’s advantage. But now, whoever seized time would truly occupy this advantage.

Skyward didn’t need to exert too much additional effort. The actions of two dao masters inspired the rest. Each of them activated their great daos and summoned the spirit of their dao. They reached out to their subordinates while Skyward could maintain the passageway!

The entire chaos came alive with activity.

Some uninhabited locales were normally extremely calm and quiet, but a world appeared out of thin air on this day. Worlds that’d been silent for many years began to awaken.

Immense strength appeared in all directions and eighth ranks began to enter the chaos.

The universe swung madly. How many would die today?

Countless exalted emperors had their hearts in their mouths and didn’t even dare look at the battlefield. There were so many powerhouses gathered that they couldn’t begin to imagine the number.

Just Li Hao’s side alone had more than thirty eighth ranks. Counting the ones that his side had killed made for more than forty.

Two dozen ninth rank replicas had descended after that, then a large number of eighth ranks from silenced worlds...

Eighth rank presences billowed commandingly in the western region.

This was originally a battle between eighth ranks, but had now become a pitched battle for the entire chaos. Apart from the primary bodies of the ninth ranks, almost all of the hidden powerhouses within the chaos had made themselves known.

Overwhelming presences churned in the cardinal directions.

......

Li Hao, the cause of everything, was so far removed from the proceedings now that it was like they had nothing to do with him. He simply stood there and watched quietly, a frosty look in his eyes.

This was good!

The more the merrier, the more that died the better. Dying would spread their great dao into the surroundings and dissipate their spirit, as well as life force. That would facilitate him establishing his chaos.

The young man was currently extremely weak. Thankfully, Long Zhan was ignoring him and speeding for the two exalted emperors that were the first to send reinforcements. The dragon... wouldn’t be able to hold out for long either.

Since he was ignoring Li Hao, that meant that was the opinion he held as well. Long Zhan would die in this battle. It was just a matter of how many powerhouses he took out with him.

The two ninth ranks had summoned all of their subordinates. With Skyward’s coordination, all of them would be here soon.

The three ninth rank replicas that’d died first hadn’t had time to summon theirs. Skyward hadn’t brought up the idea and neither did they have a chance to consider doing so.

Reaching out to their subordinates didn’t mean that they’d immediately arrive. It would take some time.

Everyone was going full out now.

Disorder and Long Zhan were skilled at killing enemies. In fact, Li Hao had selected them for this purpose. They were living up to his expectations and had quickly dispatched four ninth rank replicas.

It looked like more would die very soon!

As for whether or not the Human King and Spring Autumn could kill some... Even if they did, at least the Human King didn’t seem like he would leave anything behind for Li Hao.

Someone appeared by the young man’s side at this moment—the western queen.

She was trembling like a leaf. It was unknown whether she did so because of fear or of the disturbance in chaos dao. She was heavily injured from it and also terrified!

A group of powerhouses were brawling in this part of the chaos and she was also part of the battlefield as a sixth rank. She was somehow still alive! This degree of survivorship was going to her head!

“Li... Your Lordship...” She no longer dared use Li Hao’s name. She’d always known that the young man was ruthless and conniving, but his schemes had dragged in the entire chaos today!

So many powerhouses were dying and he was perfectly relaxed on the sidelines!

The queen was highly wary of the young man. She finally understood why Gan Wuliang was so leery of Li Hao and had never thought of seizing control over Silver Moon. That was a complete non-starter. It would be more comfortable to end one’s life instead.

Li Hao was a real demon!
