Chapter 777: Chapter 446 Gate of Heaven
...
Hearing this, it was as if Yan Xiaobao nodded in agreement. The soul mark had not lost anything from issuing various skills, abilities, and treasures, but before leaving, he acquired certain tasks he could accomplish. Years ago, when he awoke, he knew his true self had passed on, and over time, his treasures would vanish, slowly disintegrating into nothingness. Time flowed by, with nothing exciting happening. Not even a single small creature had managed to reach this soul mark, guarding the Gate of Heaven, as the many traps and trials along the way deterred all beings until now.
As a door was forcibly opened, a deafening boom echoed in the air. Standing at the entrance was a towering figure; his energy fluctuations were so fierce and overwhelming that anyone who approached him would hastily retreat. He was clearly a Saint, and as he gazed around, his bloodshot eyes carried a stunned expression.
Anyone could understand his feelings. After desperately struggling through trial after trial, believing he had done remarkably well, he discovered that his destination was already crowded with multiple groups of cultivators—many of whom were far weaker than him. Under such circumstances, this would undoubtedly amplify frustration in anyone.
"You there, keep quiet!" a thunderous voice boomed, startling the shaken Saint further, as he felt the sheer power behind the voice alone. He dared not utter a word; instead, he withdrew the energy spilling from his body and cautiously approached the other two Saints, who were also attempting to pass through the Gate of Heaven.
Looking at each other, the three Saints nodded in acknowledgment, yet none of them dared to raise even the slightest question. All of their gazes locked onto the enormous gate, from which the voice was resounding like a growing storm.
"As I was saying before being interrupted," the voice continued, "I am willing to bestow my treasures and abilities upon the most capable person. I trust that each of you can enjoy an intriguing journey through the outer peripheries of this tomb. The trials you have faced so far were merely trivial, the traps only slightly troublesome. However, if you manage to break through my Heaven Gate, don’t expect it to be as easy as it has been so far." The voice warned them all, and even Yan Xiaobao felt a slight numbness. Traps and trials this far had been easy? Up until now, he had already been prepared to lay down his life.
He wasn’t the only one to feel slightly dazed by the words; the three Saints ahead were utterly shocked as well, and even those Saints tending to their wounds lifted their heads, confusion and pure astonishment etched on their faces.
"I suppose he truly is God’s expert," Yan Xiaobao muttered while staring at the gate. Though it was overwhelmingly difficult and extremely dangerous, Yan Xiaobao was unwilling to give up. He desired the treasures and abilities this God possessed. While Lan Feng had numerous skills to share, this expert came from a different plane altogether. Everything he owned would shake this world. His items and abilities were incomparably mighty, and Yan Xiaobao wanted them badly. The more skills and treasures he acquired, the better his chances of defeating An Hee.
"Don’t be too hasty," Lan Feng advised, sensing his blood boiling and adrenaline surging. "We should let the Saints Team go first. As they traverse the traps, we’ll follow behind them, using them as cover. I’m fairly certain they’ll suffer losses this time."
"Just like he said. Up until now, while some ordinary cultivators have paid with their lives, the Saints have never encountered any real danger. Even when you’ve been in peril, he hasn’t used his holy authority, but entities far superior to Saints already await them."
"This proves that you possess what is necessary to access the next part of the tomb. However, though we hold the power of Saints, we stand to gain the most by hiding behind the other Saints. Using them as our shields is the best we can do for now, and honestly, I’m certain the Saints are eager to advance. Their greed and ambitions blind them, and their power allows all other Saints to stand out. Every Saint dreams of being seen as equals to General Frozen, Wan Qiao, and other renowned Saints of the world. If they can rival those experts, they’ll realize their dreams."
Yan Xiaobao gazed at these Saints with disdain in his eyes. He wouldn’t even settle for obtaining power equivalent to General Frozen. He wanted to be stronger. He sought strength that could rival that of the tomb’s master; strength capable of overthrowing the mightiest individuals on this plane. He needed power to defeat An Hee.
The three Saints ahead didn’t glance at Yan Xiaobao but were instead fixated on the gate, their fervent gazes filled with greed and excitement. Meanwhile, the Saint who had entered after Yan Xiaobao was staring at him with an odd expression.
Yan Xiaobao was still cloaked in his black mantle, concealing his energy and preventing anyone from sensing his power. Yet this Saint recognized that the one who first arrived in their current chamber was him. What was even more astonishing was that no one else emerged from the door he had earlier broken through.
It was obvious that this young man draped in a black cloak was no ordinary cultivator. In a world governed by strength, the Saint realized that Yan Xiaobao was far less simple than he appeared.
