Chapter 691: Blood-stained Gate of Celestial Dome

"You ants of the Grand Emperor dare to defy the heavens!"

Deep within the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea, a colossal, heaven-reaching gate boomed open, accompanied by an indifferent roar!

This was the Gate of Celestial Dome!

Streams of formidable, terrifying auras emanated from within. Pillars of destructive light pierced the Cloud Sea and descended upon the Grand Emperor Domain, causing the earth to collapse!

Countless cities in the Grand Emperor Domain were instantly reduced to rubble. Myriads of the weak were annihilated, and in a flash, rivers of blood flowed.

BOOM! BOOM!

Four terrifying Pseudo-Saints wielding Holy Dao Soldiers strode forth from the Gate of Celestial Dome. Their eyes were ice-cold, their expressions indifferent as they condescendingly surveyed all below.

Gazing at the golden Heaven-Reaching Long Bridge stretching across the sky, they let out a heavy snort. With a supreme Secret Technique, they activated their Holy Dao Soldiers and launched a sweeping strike that tore through the Cloud Sea, smashing down toward the golden bridge.

"Did the Celestial Dome only send the four of you to lead the charge? It’s not enough. Die!"

Below the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea, a massive rift suddenly tore open. A sharp beam of Holy Light erupted from within, fast as a laser, instantly piercing the void as it streaked toward the four Pseudo-Saints!

This beam of sharp light was an Ancient Battle Spear. Its killing edge was utterly peerless, so sharp it tore a massive hole in the firmament!

PFFT!

In the blink of an eye, before he could even react, the sharp spearhead, like a peerless weapon, pierced through the body of a Pseudo-Saint, pinning him against the firmament!

AHHH!

A wretched, heaven-shaking scream rang out. Holy Blood burst forth and rained down as the light of Holy Dao slaughter frantically destroyed the Pseudo-Saint’s Saint Bone Body!

The Pseudo-Saint’s body shuddered as he gripped the Ancient Battle Spear with one hand. However, its sharp light ground his arm away, sending flesh and blood flying through the air, leaving only a bloody hand bone clutching the spear!

"BEGONE!"

The Pseudo-Saint roared, violently yanking out the Ancient Battle Spear.

"We slay the heavens today! Your Holy Blood shall consecrate our banner, and your Holy Bones shall pave our way!"

A figure in white strode out of the rift, and a colossal, sky-blotting hand shot down to grab the Pseudo-Saint by the head!

CRACK!

A head was brutally twisted off, its Holy Bone snapped. A pillar of blood erupted skyward, splattering across the Heaven-Reaching Long Bridge as the carnage spread!

Supreme Dao Marks directly obliterated his Divine Soul. All that remained was a ravaged holy corpse, prostrated before the golden bridge!

"Ye Wushuang! Leader of the heaven-slayers, you must be executed!"

The remaining three Pseudo-Saints roared in shock and fury, their killing intent surging to the heavens. They activated their Holy Dao Soldier and charged at Ye Wushuang. It was a Dao Platform entwined with silver Dao Principle Chains, unleashing countless rays of Holy Light as it tried to suppress that entire stretch of sky!

CLANG!

The Ancient Battle Spear thrust across the sky, transforming into thousands of spear phantoms that filled the firmament. Each phantom seemed to be an Ancient Divine Spear, bobbing in the void, its sharpness utterly peerless!

RUMBLE!

The Ancient Battle Spear trembled, soaring skyward like a spear meant to slay the heavens. The myriad spear phantoms all merged into it, and its hundred-zhang-long edge of slaughter crashed into the suppressive Dao Platform, releasing a world-shaking boom!

The Dao Platform trembled and its Dao Principle Chains snapped. Myriad rays of sharp light tore through the Cloud Sea, causing the void itself to collapse!

"Kill!"

Seeing their Holy Dao Soldier was failing to suppress him, the three Pseudo-Saints roared. They moved with incredible speed and threw vicious punches. Countless silver Talismans condensed from Dao Marks transformed into three Divine Peaks that came crashing down.

"Ye Wushuang, first we’ll kill you, then we’ll slaughter the Grand Emperor!"

The eyes of the three Pseudo-Saints were like ice. They poured all their power into the attack, and the seething energy simply exploded.

"Just three watchdogs. What have I to fear!"

Ye Wushuang stood at the center, his black hair suddenly flying wildly, each strand whipping about. His domineering words echoed between heaven and earth as he took a step forward, his white robes flaring!

SHING!

The Ancient Sword sang, its brilliant Sword Light dazzling heaven and earth. Endless Sword Qi swept out, shattering the mountain-like Fist Seals before descending upon one of the Celestial Dome Pseudo-Saints, rending his body with every strike!

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Gouts of fresh blood erupted, exploding into clouds of bloody mist in the void!

AHHH!

In an instant, one of the Celestial Dome Pseudo-Saints was hacked into a bloody mess. His body would regenerate, only to be relentlessly ground down again by the slaughtering light of the Sword Dao!

"This brat is vicious! Retreat to the Gate of Celestial Dome!"

The remaining two Pseudo-Saints were terrified, their bodies trembling. They unleashed boundless destructive energy like a monstrous flood as they simultaneously bolted toward the Gate of Celestial Dome!

"Trying to leave? Did you ask me first?"

Ye Wushuang strode across the void. Executing the Reversed Dragon Step, he pursued them at dozens of times their speed. With a single stomp, he brought his foot down on the Celestial Dome Pseudo-Saint who had been grievously wounded by the Heaven-Slaying Sword Light, directly crushing his Saint Bone Body to pieces!

"Battle Spear, obliterate his soul!"

The Ancient Battle Spear in the firmament hummed, blasting aside the destructive Dao Platform. It plummeted straight down from the sky, piercing the Celestial Dome Pseudo-Saint from head to toe. Its edge tore his body asunder, and not even his Divine Soul managed to escape.

In that same instant, the other two Pseudo-Saints reached the Gate of Celestial Dome. Just as they were about to step through, the Ancient Battle Spear pierced through their skulls, nailing them both above the Gate.

The Holy Dao Slaughter within the Ancient Battle annhilated their Divine Souls, and the two were utterly slain. Streaks of blood dripped down from the Gate of Celestial Dome, drenching the entire structure in gore!

And behind them, Ye Wushuang’s figure materialized in the void.

He was clad in Dragon Scale Armor, and the Crown of the Barbarian Emperor on his head radiated a vast Imperial Might, making him seem like a peerless Emperor. A pair of Golden Holy Feathers sprouted from his back, and wreathed in flames, he possessed an indescribable, sacred majesty!

RUMBLE!

In the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea, endless layers of clouds churned, and the golden bridge trembled!

The Grand Emperor Country had arrived!

The Sinful City had arrived!

The Huanying Country had arrived!

...

One Major Influence after another crossed the golden bridge to stand before the Gate of Celestial Dome. As they gazed upon the splattered Holy Blood and the prostrate Holy Bones, their own blood began to boil!

’With the corpses of four Pseudo-Saints paving the way, the destruction of the Celestial Dome is certain!’

Their gazes were all fixed on the golden figure before them, who looked like a Heavenly War God!

He did not move, and neither did anyone else.

Following that, a diamond-shaped behemoth emerged from below the clouds, gradually ascending and settling behind Ye Wushuang. It was wreathed in silver Flying Shields and radiated an aura of destruction!

The leaders of the Major Influences came forward one by one, taking their places below the War Fortress.

Among them were Pseudo-Saint Powerhouses such as the Great Emperor, Ye Xuan, the Huanying Empress, the Half-Demon Lord, the Three Ancestors of the Original People, and Jiao Ming. Also present were members of the younger generation, like Shenn Qiankun, the Demon Prince, the Three Kings of the Original People, Jiao Peng, Mo Wentian, Dongfang Youdi, and the Dragon King.

Yangg Qing’er and Dii Qingxue stood together. One was a Saint, while the other wielded a world-shaking weapon; they could both help share Ye Wushuang’s burden!

Atop the War Fortress, Pann Xing and the Slaying Monarch Ancestor stood in grim readiness!

Ye Wushuang turned, looking like a sovereign over all life—solemn and divinely handsome. He spoke indifferently, "I don’t have many demands. Now that you have set foot on the path of war, you have no retreat. I have only one requirement: slaughter the Celestial Dome. Leave none alive!"

"Destroy the Celestial Dome!"

"Destroy the Celestial Dome!"

The moment his voice fell, the million soldiers of the Celestial Desolation Army roared as one. A tidal wave of killing intent infected everyone, and they all joined the roar!

SHING!

Ye Wushuang drew a Battle Sword, pointed it toward the Gate of Celestial Dome, and uttered a single word: "Kill!"

RUMBLE!

A Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar suddenly erupted from the War Fortress, streaking across heaven and earth to strike the Gate of Celestial Dome. The terrifying, destructive energy blasted clean through it, revealing the faint outline of a massive world beyond...
