Chapter 1187: Emergence

"Did the Heavenly Court want to use us to predict something?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Gu Huojin seemed to have gleaned some type of disturbance in the Heavenly Dao, and he wanted to use my power to help him see his own future. However, that would've gone against the natural order, so I refused to help him.

“On top of that, the Heavenly Court had always been an enemy of our primordial land, so I was never going to help him anyway. Once awaken this ability, make sure to use it with caution as it incurs an extremely heavy price," Mo Yu explained.

"Why is it that only Uncle Yuan Gang came to your aid, Father? Uncle Bai Ze says that he was a close friend of yours as well, so why didn't he help you?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Don't blame him for his inaction, I was the one who forbade him from helping me. If all of the True Spirit Kings had been swept up into the conflict, then that would've sparked an all-out war between our primordial land and the Immortal Realm, resulting in destruction and loss of life of unimaginable magnitudes," Mo Yu sighed, and Xiao Bai fell silent again upon hearing this.

"I feel very blessed to have been able to tell you all of this myself. Xiao Bai is a fine name. You can call yourself Mo Xiaobai from now on," Mo Yu said with a warm smile.

......

Over a century flew by in a flash.

On the plaza in the Asura Blood Gate, the eight stone pillars were glowing far dimmer than before, while the bloodline power in the air had also become very faint.

Some figures were gathered in several small groups at the center of the plaza, speaking to one another in hushed tones.

The group with the most number of people was the Heavenly Fox beings, and they were joined by Yuan Shanbai and Mo Xiaobai, but Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran were nowhere to be seen.

As opposed to his former canine form, Xiaobai had turned into a handsome young boy with a golden mark on his glabella that resembled a closed vertical eye.

Yuan Shanbai's appearance had also undergone a drastic change. His ape-like features were no longer as pronounced as before, and his tusks had turned into a pair of canine teeth, giving him a rather adorable appearance.

Among the three of them, the physical change in Liu Le'er was most pronounced. She also had a golden mark on her glabella, but it was in the form of a flower petal, and her body had become even more lithe and graceful, giving off an alluring quality that made it difficult for one to look away.

Standing not far away from them were Qing Dian and the young master of the Zouwu Tribe, both of whom were looking far more physically imposing than before.

The sharp horn on Qing Dian's head had already vanished, giving him a much closer resemblance to the Zhuyan, while the young master of the Zouwu Tribe had adopted his human form, so the changes to his true form were unclear for now, but his aura had clearly become significantly more powerful than before.

After inheriting the True Spirit King bloodlines, their powers were going to be drastically enhanced over the course of the near future. On top of that, their future cultivation paths were going to become far smoother than before, allowing them to make far faster progress than their peers.

Lekima was also present, and he was standing by himself, leaning back against a stone pillar as he observed the three giant gates.

Why has he still not come out?

"The Asura Blood Gate is going to close soon. If you ask me, Han Li has most likely already perished in there," Qing Dian said with a wide smile.

"That's what he gets for his hubris and insolence!" the young master of the Zouwu Tribe chuckled with vengeful glee.

"Shut your mouths! He's not dead!" Xiaobai snapped in a furious manner.

"That's not up to us to decide. In one more hour, the three gates will disappear, and the Asura Blood Gate will also close. Once that happens, his fate will be sealed," Qing Dian chortled with undisguised elation.

"I'm actually a little sad about this," the young master of the Zouwu Tribe said, despite the clear smile on his face.

Having just inherited their True Spirit King bloodlines, he and Qing Dian's powers had been drastically elevated, and he was eager to take this opportunity to humiliate Han Li, but now that Han Li was dead, they had been robbed of the opportunity.

Xiaobai was even more furious to hear this, and he immediately began to approach the two, with Yuan Shanbai following along to back him up.

However, they were stopped by Liu Le'er, who remained calm and collected as she said, "Let them say what they want. Once Brother Rock comes out, they'll be forced to eat their words."

She was the only one present who had absolute confidence in Han Li's return.

Back in the Spirit Domain Realm, Han Li had given her an unrivaled sense of security, so she was always going to have unwavering belief in him from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Qing could only heave an internal sigh upon seeing this.

After everything that had taken place, his opinion on Han Li had completely changed. Of course, in his eyes, Han Li still couldn't compare with Liu Le'er, but he was willing to regard Han Li as a powerful ally of their Heavenly Fox Tribe.

Unfortunately, it seemed that he had chosen a path that had led to his demise.

Fox 3 remained silent this entire time, and his expression didn't betray any emotion, but internally, he was also feeling very concerned.

Time slowly passed by. It was only an hour, but it felt like an eternity, and as more and more time slipped away, Liu Le'er was praying that the remaining time would pass by even slower.

The golden flames in front of the three gates had already faded, but the gates remained shut.

"Are you still going to wait? He's dead for sure!" Qing Dian chortled.

"Let's go, there's no need to wait any longer," the young master of the Zouwu Tribe said as he turned to leave.

In his eyes, the fun was already over, as was the life of the human that he so detested.

However, in the instant that he turned away, a heavy groaning sound rang out from behind him, and the second gate was slowly pushed open.

The young master of the Zouwu Tribe stopped in his tracks, then turned back around to see an enormous figure emerge from the second gate amid a cloud of crimson mist that was giving off a vast primordial aura.

The figure was almost as tall as the gate itself, and its body crimson and black in color and covered in turtle-shell-shaped scales. It had six enormous arms that were holding the gate open and three huge heads on its head, namely those of the Zhuyan, the Taowu, and the Xuanwu.

The giant figure was naturally none other than Han Li, and he had already completely mastered the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, attaining all four devilish deity forms, and the bloodline aura emanating from his body was nothing short of terrifying.

In this instant, he seemed more like a primordial true spirit than all of the actual primordial true spirits present.

"Impossible..." Qing Dian murmured to himself in a stunned manner, while the young master of the Zouwu Tribe was already astonished beyond words.

Any thought of humiliating Han Li with his newfound power had already evaporated into thin air, and even Liu Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "Is he really still a human?"

Lekima remained silent, but he was just as dumbstruck as everyone else.

In contrast, Liu Le'er was ecstatic, and she immediately rushed toward Han Li, followed closely by Xiaobai and Yuan Shanbai.

Han Li quickly reverted back to his human form, and his entire body was glowing with dense clusters of profound acupoints that were giving off an astonishing bloodline aura.

"That has to be over a thousand profound acupoints!" Fox 3 exclaimed, and at this point, he was beginning to feel a little numb from all of the astonishment.

Only after close to twenty seconds had passed did the profound acupoints on Han Li's body fade away, following which his aura also receded.

He gently exhaled as he flipped a hand over to produce an azure robe before putting it on, and while making his way out of the second gate, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and cast his gaze toward the third gate.

As soon as his gaze fell upon it, the surrounding scene instantly changed drastically. He felt as if he could see another primordial world, and while there were no primordial beasts to be seen, he could sense an unprecedentedly pure primordial aura.

It was a true primordial aura, one that was completely unrestrained and unfettered by the laws of heaven and earth.

Before he had a chance to examine this world, a burst of terrifying tearing force abruptly erupted out from within, threatening to tear him to shreds.

Han Li instantly snapped back to his senses with a slight shudder, and cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.

However, as he turned his gaze to everyone else, he discovered that no one seemed to have noticed anything, as if time had stood still for a moment just now.

Han Li didn't dare to look at the third gate any further, and he hurriedly made his way back to everyone.

"What took you so long?" Xiaobai complained.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to worry you," Han Li said with a wide smile.

As soon as his voice trailed off, the entire surrounding space began to tremble violently, and the three gates behind him sank down into the ground, following which the plaza also began to fade out of existence.

"Let's get out of here first," Han Li said as he grabbed onto Xiaobai and Liu Le'er before rushing toward the Asura Blood Gate.
