Chapter 1489 Tianmen
Tianmen is a hidden sect amidst the turmoil of history.
Unlike the orthodox sects that either strive to conquer the world or seek development, its initial purpose was to serve Indra alone.
Because Di Shitian was severely injured by Wu Wudi, one of the top ten martial artists, his phoenix blood was lost, causing him to age rapidly. He needed to rely on ice to slow down the passage of his life, which led the sect to choose a cold place in the far north as its base.
As a substitute for the resource of immortality, the Dragon Essence became the only hope for prolonging life. Moreover, slaying the dragon required the gathering of seven divine weapons and top-level martial artists, and the Heavenly Gate became the tool to achieve this plan.
At the same time, this was also a strategic adjustment by Indra after his failure to cope with the situation.
Learning from his defeat against Wu Wudi, Di Shitian realized the limits of individual martial prowess and the need to build a powerful force to counter formidable enemies. Tianmen's intelligence system can monitor the movements of the martial world, especially tracking potential threats such as the Ten Strongest Martial Artists.
And for this purpose, an absolute system of rule was constructed.
They then present themselves as "gods," manipulating the martial arts world through the Heavenly Gate to satisfy their twisted desire to control all living beings. A rigid hierarchical structure ensures the efficient execution of their will, while facilities like the Ice Prison enhance their deterrent effect.
Of course, there may also be a way to alleviate the loneliness of immortality and the ever-growing arrogance and ambition.
His millennia-long lifespan has made him weary of worldly identities, and the Heavenly Gate, as a "transcendent force," brings him a new thrill of control. He uses trials to select his pawns and finds amusement in observing the struggles of human nature.
The next step was to verify the legitimacy of divine authority.
Indra considers himself the ruler of the world, and the existence of the heavenly gate symbolizes his superior status over all living beings. Successfully slaying the dragon will further solidify his divine authority.
However, with the integration with the world of Ever Night, this will cause a fundamental conflict in the character of Emperor Shitian. Therefore, Qin Fan needs to observe the changes in Tianmen, after all, as a pawn that was actively offered up in the first game of conquering this world.
The location of Tianmen is somewhat delicate.
Its overall strength is inferior to behemoths like the Buddhist Kingdom and the Great Tang Dynasty, and it is not qualified to compete with the Xiling Temple, which belongs to the faith of Haotian. However, it is superior to forces such as the World Society, Wushuang City, Sword Pavilion, Baijian Villa, and Sword Sect.
They could be considered to be at the level of gatekeepers of so-called first-class forces.
Although Qin Fan had learned about the structure of this world through Wu Gou's explanation, Tianmen still needed to fill in the gaps regarding the details, especially the valuable information that could be gleaned from the human nature aspects that Wu Gou might have overlooked.
What Qin Fan needs to do now is to observe the changes in Tianmen after merging with the Nightfall world, and to truly subdue this force, rather than relying on fate to gain a group of traitors.
"Just you?"
Feng Mo tilted his head to look at the Tianmen disciples who kept popping out. These were all at the bottom level, with their strength around the Innate Realm. However, this also allowed Qin Fan to judge that they were nourished by the Immaculate Spring, and that the Fengyun and Jiangye worlds were already at a high level.
This significantly raised both the lower and upper limits of this fused world (later named the Haotian World).
"You audacious madman, do you know where you are?!"
A seemingly insignificant henchman jumped out first and angrily shouted at Feng Mo.
His strength reached the Sky Soaring Realm, which is roughly equivalent to that of ordinary disciples. He can be considered a leader-level expert at the lowest level of the Heavenly Gate.
When Feng Mo sensed the primordial spirit power constantly probing his strength emanating from the Heavenly Gate, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
next second!
The storm is coming!
Feng Mo stood still without moving an inch, while the hundreds of henchmen who had come forward to surround him and Qin Fan were all thrown into the air and fell unconscious.
"Let's go."
Qin Fan stepped forward and patted Feng Mo on the shoulder, and the two entered the Tianmen camp side by side.
This place is like a giant underground city built of ice and snow, with each building filled with a crystal-clear beauty, yet also possessing a chilling coldness that makes one's heart tremble.
Upon entering, one arrives at an area that appears to be inhabited by miscellaneous fish.
In the shadows, figures were poised to strike.
"A total of three hundred people."
"The strongest one is actually at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
Feng Mo's expression revealed a hint of surprise. After all, in his view, this was still a small, insignificant army. What was better than the previous small fry was that these small fry were skilled in assassination and could form a special military formation because they could cooperate with each other.
"It's the Oni-Kashra Legion."
As soon as Qin Fan finished speaking, the icy wind, along with the falling snowflakes, transformed into countless sharp, poisonous needles that shot rapidly toward the two of them.
Feng Mo took a step forward, the instant his feet touched the icy ground.
The icy wind that was about to engulf its entire body suddenly reversed and transformed into a roaring ice dragon. It carried the surrounding ice and snow, causing its body to expand continuously. With a single sweep of its massive tail, it wiped out the surrounding buildings, including the Ghost Cha Luo Legion that had launched the encirclement and attack.
With a gentle snap of his fingers, Feng Mo shattered the ice dragon, and the scattered ice particles spontaneously formed a straight road ahead, extending directly towards the most majestic castle in the center of this giant city.
As for the buildings blocking the road, they all turned into particles and dissipated upon contact with the road.
“So domineering!”
Among those secretly observing, one person clearly saw through Feng Mo's hidden intentions.
The next second, a burly man descended from the sky, his body radiating a violent golden lightning aura. The aura he exuded clearly indicated that his strength had reached the Dharma Aspect Realm.
"Sir, do you know where you are?"
Unlike those small fry who immediately start arguing and killing, this person's questions were filled with goodwill.
Feng Mo did not answer, but looked at Qin Fan first.
After seeing Qin Fan nod slightly, he understood that everything from now on depended on his performance.
"know."
"Have you ever heard of the name of the Lord of the Heavenly Gate, Indra?"
"The Lord of the Heavenly Gate? Shouldn't he be called a god?"
"God?" The burly man couldn't help but chuckle, then shook his head and said, "I wish he were still this arrogant, but... he's too cowardly."
"Oh? You seem to have some dissatisfaction with him."
"The grudges from the previous life."
As he said this, the burly man stared intently at the changes in Feng Mo's expression, but Feng Mo's icy demeanor made it impossible for him to read any information.
Then, the burly man changed the subject.
"Although I don't like him, he is quite capable, and Tianmen, including us, needs him now."
"what do you mean?"
"I'd like to test your abilities!"
The moment those words were spoken, the dome, forged from millennia-old ice, reflected a chilling blue light!
The ice steps that the burly man stood firmly on began to rise higher and higher until he stood at the top of the ice, a hundred meters high, where he could completely overlook Qin Fan and Feng Mo!
His long hair danced wildly like lightning snakes, and his body was wrapped in visible purple-black arcs of electricity!
"Nu Feng Lei is serious." Several experts who were also secretly observing the battle were talking to each other.
"His cultivation level is the lowest among us because he awakened too late, but in terms of combat strength, even if we were to take this hit head-on, we would not be in good shape."
"This move is the ultimate skill that he has always longed to learn, but since joining Tianmen, his situation seems to have become somewhat strange."
"Enough of that. Let's see if this kid who dared to break in can get past the wrath of the wind and thunder."
At this moment, Nu Fenglei slowly raised his right palm, and liquid lightning flowed between his five fingers. Each drop that fell to the ground exploded into a crater more than ten feet in size. The starting stance of this Five Thunder Transformation Hand had already made the entire ice fortress tremble!
"Your Excellency!" The roar of the raging wind and thunder resonated through the ice wall, the sound waves carrying layers of lightning as they surged forward. "This move was originally created to kill a god! Today, I will use you to test my blade!"
Before he finished speaking, all the ice cones on the dome shattered, and the suspended ice crystals transformed into countless prisms in the lightning field, refracting his figure into an overwhelming phantom of the Thunder God!
The ice beneath Feng Mo's feet was cracked with spiderweb-like scorch marks due to the thunderous pressure.
But his expression remained calm as always, though a faint hint of appreciation appeared deep in his eyes.
After all, being able to threaten the Heavenly Evolution Realm at the Dharma Aspect Realm without the support of a domain is already a remarkable achievement.
However, Nu Fenglei was somewhat displeased with his behavior and snorted coldly!
The next second, Nu Fenglei suddenly clasped his hands together, and five-colored lightning burst forth from his seven orifices—golden lightning pierced the sky, wood lightning created patterns, water lightning condensed frost, fire lightning burned the void, and earth lightning suppressed the mountains!
The five thunderbolts merged into one, transforming into a chaotic thunder dragon that tore through space. Wherever it passed, even the absolute zero ice vaporized into purple mist!
"Accept!"
The terrifying thunder dragon roared at Feng Mo. After a deafening explosion, the burst of ice mist completely obscured everyone's vision. Moreover, because of the scattered power of the thunder, those who were secretly observing dared not use their primordial spirit to probe him.
"Your Excellency is far too arrogant, and this is the price of arrogance."
Nu Fenglei leaped down from the towering ice steps, his aura slightly weakened. It was clear that he had used his full strength in the previous move. After all, seeing Feng Mo easily condense an ice dragon that swept through the Ghost Cha Luo Legion, how could he not take the opponent's strength seriously?
Of course, he is even more confident in himself!
After all, this was the ultimate skill that the guy who called himself a god, whom he looked down on but had to admit had some ability, had been coveting!
Just as he sighed softly, preparing to turn and leave, leaving only the silhouette of a powerful figure behind.
In this increasingly silent, icy city, the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard behind him.
"good."
Nu Fenglei suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The fact that the opponent was not only uninjured, but also had no dirt or tears in their clothes made it seem as if the killing move they had just used was just a dream.
"impossible!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Feng Mo, his wide eyes beginning to show blood vessels. But the next moment, the other person disappeared. Nu Feng Lei, who was already in doubt, suddenly felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and before anyone knew it, another knife wound had appeared on his body.
"you"
The force emanating from the injury caused Nu Feng Lei so much pain that he was on the verge of fainting.
This also made him realize a reality.
That means the opponent is very strong!
Then he slowly closed his eyes, and the blood that flowed out froze at that moment.
In a daze, he heard footsteps that grew clearer and clearer, yet also more and more distant.
'There's one more person?'
When was it?
Qin Fan flicked a wisp of Nirvana Golden Flame onto its body. When the time was right, this wisp of true fire would revive it on the spot.
Let's let it feign death for a while.
While silently following Feng Mo, he also noticed the panic shown by the few people in the shadows.
'The group is quite complete. The judge and the priests aren't worth noting; their strength is only at the Dharma Aspect Realm. One is in charge of intelligence, and the other is in charge of punishment. But the other three are rather interesting.'
"Please stop here, sir."
Upon arriving at the gates of the central castle, three figures blocked Feng Mo's path.
The leader was a woman, Luo Xian, who was known as the Goddess Mother. As the second-in-command in the original work, she was in charge of daily affairs and the entrance test, and acted on behalf of Emperor Shitian. As a disciple valued by Emperor Shitian, she was also taught a part of the Sacred Heart Technique.
Ultimately, he committed suicide after his failed attempt to betray her in love.
"Three Heavenly Evolution Realm experts."
Feng Mo raised an eyebrow, realizing more and more that this world was extraordinary. After all, even a first-rate power like the Heavenly Gate had three Heavenly Evolution Realm experts guarding it. If you add the existing Emperor Shitian, this combination would surpass any of the eight great families in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Just as Feng Mo was deep in thought.
The Ice Emperor and the Divine General, standing on either side of Luo Xian, have already launched their attacks!
Snowblood Claw + Ice Nether Hand!
Every move was a deadly strike, and the accumulated momentum exploded at that moment. As the attacker, both were confident that even if they were of the same level, they would be severely injured!
just
boom!boom!
Feng Mo casually threw a punch, knocking the two of them to the ground. The intense pain that spread throughout their bodies and reached the depths of their minds made it impossible for them to get up. They could only writhe on the ground like two huddled shrimp, suffering agonizing pain.
Then Feng Mo looked at Luo Xian. While Luo Xian was deep in thought, he was also attacked by the other party's primordial spirit. However, this attack was more like a mayfly trying to shake a tree than the Ice Emperor and the Divine General. The damage effect was not even as good as a tickle, so he simply ignored it.
But now, we can weigh it again.
boom!
Feng Mo's main principle is gender equality, and he knocked Luo Xian down with a punch just as she was about to try to argue.
And Tianmen was also completely pacified by them.
"Lord."
The three people, who were suffering in pain on the ground and struggling to get up, all froze for a second.
They felt both unfamiliar with and desperate about Feng Mo's strength. Even a reckless man like Nu Feng Lei, who was at the Dharma Aspect Realm, thought that his Five Thunder Transformation Hand, which he was so proud of, was worth a try. But the three at the Heavenly Evolution Realm already knew that if a sneak attack failed, a head-on confrontation would surely result in death.
They were terrified by the arrival of this powerful stranger, and of course, they also had many questions in their minds.
But what did they just hear?
Lord?
Is there anyone else here?
While they were in a state of brief amnesia, a warm golden flame enveloped the three of them, as if they had been cleansed of their impurities and reborn. They felt refreshed, but also somewhat puzzled.
When they came to their senses, the three found themselves in the conference hall in the center of the castle.
The seat that should have been empty was occupied by a figure wearing an ice mask, who was toying with a familiar identity token in his hand. Feng Mo, who had brought despair to the three of them, stood beside him like a guard. (End of Chapter)
