Chapter 429 Mr. Nobody, how do I get to the Temple of the Gods?
India.
Temple of the God of Heaven.
Amidst the churning gray mist, streaks of radiant golden remnants of destiny fell from mid-air like shooting stars.
Amidst the countless fragments of shattered Buddha statues, a handsome young man clad in tattered armor calmly pulled out a spear embedded in the Buddha's head.
He raised his hand and wiped away the blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth, his sharp eyes sweeping over the shattered pillar of India's national destiny.
"Damn... these bastards actually prepared so many Buddha statues. If we hadn't had a backup plan, we probably would have really been in trouble this time..."
Li Kengqiang crawled out of the ruins in a disheveled state, brushing the dust off his body as he spoke with a hint of relief.
"This time... we should have won, right?"
"Pretty much. We've shattered 60% of their national destiny in one fell swoop, and there's no possibility of repairing it in the short term."
Wang Qing, carrying a long whip, slowly walked behind Huo Qubing and answered.
"That's right. Although luck is an ethereal and unpredictable thing, it is a force that should not be underestimated when accumulated over many years."
“Normally, there might not be much difference, but now the battle between the two countries has reached a fever pitch. Our victory in this battle of destiny will inevitably have a serious impact on India.”
Upon hearing Huo Qubing's voice, all the heroic spirits breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon arriving at the Temple of the Gods, they discovered that the Celestial Venerable's divine power seemed to have malfunctioned; otherwise, with His strength, He would never have been at a disadvantage against Brahma.
Fortunately, their [Heroic Spirit] squad did not disappoint the Celestial Venerable's entrustment and severed 60% of the Heavenly God Temple's national fortune.
In a sense, they indirectly influenced the outcome of the war of the supreme gods.
"We are burdened with the fate of our nation and are not suited to interfere in the war of the supreme gods."
"Now, it's up to the Celestial Venerable..."
At this point, all six heroic spirits turned to look at the distant sky.
There stood an ancient and solemn temple directly opposite a magnificent and enormous golden palace.
The deafening roar continued as the divine essence of the kingdom clashed and intertwined wildly in the skies above the Indian divine realm.
As time went by, several cracks slowly appeared on the temples of the two countries.
boom! !
Whoosh! !
As the dull thud echoed once more within the ancient temple, a figure enveloped in shimmering golden light burst forth from the empty temple gate.
Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed the discomfort in his body, made hand seals to stabilize himself.
After a moment, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the qi and blood in his body gradually stabilized.
"The battle for the nation's destiny has been lost, and I'm afraid your plans will fall through."
"Ridiculous... It's nothing but some ephemeral luck, it can't even affect the final outcome."
A deep, resonant chant arose, and Brahma's towering Buddha statue slowly emerged from the temple.
“Yuanshi... today you will surely perish in my divine realm.”
"Yeah?!"
"Then you should give it a try!!"
.........
Great Summer, Morning South Gate.
Beneath the 'empty gate', Agni struggled to his feet, most of the divine armor formed from golden divine flames had dissipated.
On its pristine white chest was a gruesome sword scar.
He looked down at his bare left arm and felt a sudden sense of powerlessness.
What kind of monsters am I fighting right now...?
It's one thing if the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty are powerful, but how come there are such beings among mortals?
Just now, Agni, who was fighting the Jade Emperor, sensed an extremely sharp sword aura emanating from the battlefield above the sea.
A sudden sense of crisis made him instinctively try to dodge, but alas...
The heaven-slaying sword beam, shimmering with seven-colored light, was incredibly fast.
Before he could react, he was struck squarely by the seven-colored sword light. Fortunately, the distance was too great and the energy consumption was too severe, otherwise he might have already perished under this sword.
That being said, the deities like Deva who rushed to the monastery to offer assistance were not so fortunate...
To prevent the mythical mother beast from escaping, Li Jie directly used three immortal swords, unleashing three consecutive [Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique]!
The seven-colored sword light, containing the laws of immortal swords and the laws of the Dao, surged forth with overwhelming force.
In an instant, it shattered the mythical mother beast and more than a dozen secondary gods below the 'empty gate'.
It's such a pity...
Before Deva, who had come to provide support, could even play his part, he was sent to the Western Paradise by the devastating power of the sword.
After the sea calmed down again, Li Jie took a deep breath and pointed.
The three immortal swords, shrouded in black, white, and red light, flew back instantly.
With the mother beast dead, the crisis at Chennan Pass was finally resolved in a meaningful sense.
Next…
It's about dealing with the matter of the Temple of Heaven...
With this thought in mind, Li Jie narrowed his eyes and scanned the battlefield. It seemed that there weren't many left who could still breathe.
A moment later, a one-armed figure, panting heavily, appeared in Li Jie's line of sight as he leaned against the 'empty door'.
"You are the one."
Pulling himself back to his senses, Li Jie took a step forward, and with a flash of sword light, he was already beside Agni.
"What the hell are you?!"
He calmly looked at Agni, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and asked a question as he spoke.
"Damn it!! I am Agni, the god of fire!! You're nothing but a piece of trash!!"
"Oh... Mr. Nobody, excuse me... how do I get to the Temple of the Gods?"
"puff!!"
When Agni saw Li Jie solemnly calling himself "Mr. Not a Toy," he almost fainted.
"You won't get a single word out of me about the Temple of the Gods. Do with me as you please!"
Anyway, once Brahma shatters the Great Xia's origin, we can all be reborn again using the overflowing power of the origin.
So it seems like dying isn't such a bad thing after all...
"I didn't expect him to be such a tough nut to crack..."
Upon hearing this, a look of respect finally appeared in Li Jie's eyes.
"Since that's the case, then you can just watch from the sidelines. After I shatter the very foundation of your Heavenly Temple, I will surely send your soul back to its homeland."
He wants to shatter the very essence of the Temple of Heaven?!
What kind of international joke are you kidding? !
You're just a mortal. Do you even know what the fundamental power of the divine kingdom is?!
Although Agni was furious and utterly disdainful, for some reason, a second voice appeared in his mind.
With his strength...
Is it truly possible to shatter the primordial power of a divine realm?
Thinking of this, He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the sea area below the 'empty gate'.
Countless pieces of wreckage floated on the sea, their appearance particularly eerie under the moonlight...
Just minutes before, they were living, breathing gods.
only.
Things started to go wrong after this white-haired boy appeared at Chennan Pass.
Although Agni was previously on the battlefield of the gods, He had been keeping an eye on the movements of the mother beast.
After all, that was their strategic weapon for conquering the territory of Great Xia.
The army of divine beasts was about to break through the blockade of the Night Watchers.
They entered the territory of the Great Xia and reaped the lives of those lowly mortals.
Just then, the little white-haired creature suddenly appeared in the sky above Chennan Pass.
He first unleashed three sword strikes in quick succession, clearing away the catastrophic beast tide that had surged into the nearshore waters.
Then, together with another mortal wielding a sword, they broke through the demigod's defenses and easily reached the mother beast.
And then...
Several gods at the level of main gods were annihilated by the seven-colored sword light he released...
Thinking of this, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Agni's face.
Even the supreme being couldn't possibly possess such terrifying destructive power...
etc.......
Did I just say "supreme"?!
How could that be...?
He was just a mortal man...
Li Jie ignored Agni's complicated expression and was about to try asking other Hindu deities about the location of the temple when...
With a flash, the Queen Mother of the West stumbled and landed not far behind him.
Ignoring any impropriety, she slightly adjusted her posture and bowed gently to Li Jie, speaking very weakly.
"Greetings, Sword Master."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Li Jie turned around and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities.
"Does Your Majesty know where the Temple of the Heavenly Gods is located?"
“I know that… but the journey is very long, and it will probably take the Sword Master three hours to get there.”
so far?
Upon hearing this, Li Jie frowned, pondering the feasibility of heading directly from the mist to the Temple of the Gods.
The long journey wasn't a problem, because with the [Great Yellow Court] of the tenth level, his true energy was practically inexhaustible, enough to support him on his westward journey to the Heavenly Temple.
His fear was that the still-wounded Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't last three hours...
It seems we still need to find another way...
Li Jie scratched his head in frustration.
That damn Vulcan is pretty tight-lipped; looks like we'll have to go to the battlefield of gods and find a couple more who can still breathe...
Having made up his mind, Li Jie bowed respectfully, preparing to head towards the heavens, but just then...
The 'empty gate' that radiated golden light caught his attention.
Ugh?
Behind this thing...
Is this the Temple of the Heavenly God?!
Although it can only be entered and exited in one direction, it has at least established a spatial link with the Temple of the Gods, right?
Could I then use the spatial laws of the Immortal-Trapping Sword to resonate with the 'Gate of Emptiness' and re-establish a spacetime tunnel?
Hey.......
You know what, this seems to be the fastest and easiest way to get to the Temple of the Gods.
Upon realizing this, a look of joy appeared on Li Jie's face. Then, he stretched out his right arm and beckoned behind him.
The crimson Immortal-Trapping Sword answered the summons and landed steadily in his hand.
"What is he going to do?"
Seeing Li Jie slowly drifting towards the 'empty gate', Agni's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
As the supreme artifact in the Hindu pantheon, Agni was intimately familiar with the function of the 'emptiness gate'.
With its unique properties of one-way teleportation and spatial sealing, this artifact has repeatedly rendered great service to the Temple of the Gods.
Although it can be considered a spatial tunnel connecting the outside world and the temple of the gods in a certain sense, the gods present all knew this.
No one can return to the Temple of the Gods through the 'empty gate'.
Otherwise, seeing that the Heavenly Origin carried by Yuanshi Tianzun had encountered problems at the Temple of the Gods, all the gods of the Great Xia would have already rushed into the Temple of the Gods to fight Brahma to the death.
They would never engage in a prolonged battle with the Indian gods who are hiding behind the "empty gate".
“Sword Master, that is the supreme artifact of the Indian pantheon, ‘The Gate of Emptiness’.”
"This gate allows only one-way entry and exit; we cannot directly reach the Temple of the Gods from here."
Seeing Li Jie's strange behavior, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
In her opinion, instead of wasting time here, it would be better to head directly to the Temple of the Gods according to the coordinates. As long as she was fast enough, there might still be a chance of survival.
But Li Jie remained unmoved.
It wasn't that he didn't want to respond, but rather that he simply couldn't be bothered to explain.
Within ten breaths, Li Jie had arrived before the portal radiating golden light. He stretched out his left hand, sensing the spatial fluctuations emanating from the 'empty gate'.
Buzz~~!
The moment he touched the 'open door'.
This supreme artifact instinctively emitted a powerful will, preventing Li Jie from continuing his investigation.
"Is it showing signs of becoming a spirit as well?"
Sensing this malicious intent, Li Jie smiled slightly.
With this imperfect mind, you think you can stop me from investigating further?
An ant trying to shake a tree is unaware of its own strength!
Upon realizing this, a glint of light seemed to flash in Li Jie's pupils.
Without any hesitation, he plunged the Immortal-Trapping Sword into the crack located in the very center of the 'Void Gate'.
Ding--!
The sickening clang of metal echoed throughout the universe, and the golden gate that had stood firm since its appearance began to tremble violently.
"How can it be!"
Upon witnessing this scene, not only Agni, but almost all the remaining conscious Hindu deities showed expressions of disbelief.
The 'empty gate' that descended upon Great Xia should be an energy entity.
Why did the strange longsword tremble violently when that mortal thrust it into the void?
Could it be...?!
Does he really have a way to get to the Temple of the Gods through the one-way teleportation 'gate'?!
After this crazy idea popped into Agni's mind.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his blood-stained face...
If that's really the case...
Then the loss wasn't unjustified...
"I never imagined that such a being existed within your Great Xia. In this round... we have lost..."
Agni knelt on the sea, looking dejected, and shook his head with a bitter smile.
It seems He already foresaw their fate...
