"The Heaven's Gate, it has appeared."
"This is the Heaven's Gate. I can feel the entire two-dimensional world trembling."
"I now believe that through the Heaven's Gate, we can truly leave this world."
On the mountainside, many powerful beings from various races looked excited, their eyes locked on the summit high above.
At this moment, under the surging force of space, a 'Heaven's Gate' more than ten meters tall began to take shape, emerging from illusion into reality.
"The Heaven's Gate?"
The Divine King looked solemn. Even though he considered himself invincible in this two-dimensional world, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
The Heaven's Gate was his chance to leave. If the other powerful beings from the various races remained in the two-dimensional world, they would lose part of their spiritual will.
But for him, the Divine King, failing to return to the universe would cost him not just some of his spiritual will, but also a supreme weapon.
Even for the Strongest ones, obtaining a perfectly suited supreme weapon was not an easy task.
And for him, the Divine King?
If this supreme weapon were lost in this two-dimensional world, the Divine King would likely have to wait until he became the Strongest one to obtain another suitable weapon.
But how long would that take? And even becoming the Strongest one, becoming the ultimate, was not something the Divine King was confident about.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now.
"This time, I must be the one to enter the Heaven's Gate!" The Divine King's expression turned sharp, and a mysterious force seemed to circulate between his four arms.
"Is that the Heaven's Gate?"
In the distance, Lin Yuan was also observing the Heaven's Gate. "What a massive spatial fluctuation!"
Lin Yuan was astounded. The spatial ripples emitted by his silver mirror were like fireflies compared to the bright moon of the Heaven's Gate.
The two were on entirely different levels.
"To leave this two-dimensional world, one can only rely on the Heaven's Gate."
Lin Yuan thought to himself that relying on personal strength alone would never create such a massive spatial fluctuation.
Outside the scroll.
The moment the Heaven's Gate began to appear.
Dozens of the Strongest ones stood ready. In their estimation, if the Heaven's Gate was a passage connecting the two-dimensional world with the main universe, when the Heaven's Gate appeared, the two-dimensional world, isolated by the 'White Paper,' would establish a connection with the main universe.
At that time, the Strongest ones would be able to observe the true nature of the 'White Paper.'
They might even be able to interfere with the two-dimensional world.
For instance, could they forcibly 'fish out' the trapped powerful beings from the various races? With the White Paper's barrier, the Strongest ones couldn't affect the inside of the two-dimensional world.
But if a connection were established, the Strongest ones could easily 'rescue' people with their methods.
However.
Moments later.
The expressions of the Strongest ones outside the scroll turned grim.
"What's happening?"
"Why is the Heaven's Gate manifesting inside, but nothing is changing in the outside world?"
"According to reports from our people, the manifestation of the Heaven's Gate brings immense spatial fluctuations, clearly the hallmark of a spatial passage. So why is there no reaction in the outside world?"
The Strongest ones were puzzled.
In normal circumstances, when one side generates spatial fluctuations, the other side would do the same. Otherwise, how could the two connect? "Is something wrong?"
"Let's wait and see. Maybe it's because the Heaven's Gate hasn't fully manifested yet, so it hasn't affected the outside world."
"Yes, let's wait. Once the Heaven's Gate fully takes shape, it should be ready."
The Strongest ones exchanged glances and patiently continued to wait.
They had lived for eons, and patience was one thing they were never short of.
At the peak of the Heavenly Mountain.
The moment the Heaven's Gate began to appear.
The Divine King and five other eleventh-rank perfected legendary beings suddenly rushed towards the Heaven's Gate.
Boom!
The terrifying sound waves reverberated in all directions.
In just a moment, the Divine King and the five other eleventh-rank perfected beings had exchanged hundreds of blows.
"Take down the Divine King first."
The short elder and the other four exchanged glances and quickly teamed up to suppress the Divine King.
In their eyes, the Divine King was too much of a threat. If they left him, by the time they had decided the victor, he would only swoop in and steal their prize.
"Take me down first?"
"You think you're worthy?"
The Divine King laughed wildly, waving his four arms, his energy and blood surging.
Rip!
With extreme dexterity, the Divine King's four arms moved, landing a blow on the chest of a three-meter-tall burly man.
This burly man was also an eleventh-rank perfected legendary being, but his face turned pale as his body retreated hundreds of meters before stopping.
Swoosh.
The burly man's figure disappeared, only to rejoin the battle against the Divine King.
Buzzing.
As the Divine King clashed with the short elder and the other five powerhouses, the terrifying aftermath of their attacks almost plowed through the entire peak of Heavenly Mountain.
"They're too strong."
"How are the Divine King and the others so powerful?"
On the mountain peak, over a hundred eleventh-rank powerhouses, who originally intended to approach the Heaven's Gate to see if they could fish in troubled waters, now dared not move closer.
Anyone who approached the Heaven's Gate now would become a target for the Divine King and the five powerhouses. It was almost certain death, and even with defensive treasures, they wouldn't survive.
Even if a defensive treasure could block ninety-nine percent of the attack, the remaining shockwave would be enough to obliterate any powerful being.
"Damn it!"
Near the center of the peak, Hou Zhu of the Prison Clan held a blood-red long blade, his face filled with unwillingness. He was one of the few powerful beings carrying a treasure.
But Hou Zhu didn't openly carry the treasure. His blood-red blade was stored in a wooden box, and others didn't know what was inside.
Hou Zhu had originally planned to shine using his blood-red blade as he approached the Heaven's Gate. However, now, he couldn't even get close to the battlefield dominated by the Divine King.
Below the peak.
Hundreds of thousands of powerful beings from various races were awestruck as they watched the battle between the Divine King and the other five powerhouses.
"To display such strength in this two-dimensional world, the Divine King and the others are just too monstrous!"
"Luckily, I left the peak early. Otherwise, under the shockwaves of their battle, I'd be severely injured if not dead."
"Looks like I have no chance of entering the Heaven's Gate. The Divine King and those five powerhouses have already claimed six spots for the Heaven's Gate."
As the powerful beings from various races watched the battle, they were filled with despair.
Some even chose to obliterate their avatars immediately, Knowing that sooner or later, they would experience fundamental spiritual loss, they opted to face it proactively.
On the human civilization side.
The evolvers, including Xuan Yuan Duo, watched the battle beneath the Heaven's Gate with bated breath.
"Lord Blood Rain, should we give up this chance to enter the Heaven's Gate?" Xuan Yuan Duo couldn't help but ask, as the scene of the Divine King and the other powerhouses fighting had terrified her.
"Let's wait and see." Lin Yuan replied casually.
So far, the Divine King hadn't used his supreme weapon.
The battle between the six powerhouses looked fierce,
But neither side had truly gone all out.
The five eleventh-rank perfected legendary beings led by the short elder had not yet used any treasures.
Beneath the Heaven's Gate.
"Huff! Huff!"
The six figures continued their intense battle.
"The Heaven's Gate is almost fully formed."
"You four, hold him off while I check out the Heaven's Gate."
The short elder swiftly disengaged, intending to head toward the Heaven's Gate.
According to intelligence within the two-dimensional world, once the Heaven's Gate opened, only those standing directly in front of it could attempt to push it open.
This meant that strength didn't matter directly. Even if the Divine King was the strongest individual, as long as he wasn't in front of the Heaven's Gate, the short elder could still be the one to enter.
"You dare?"
The Divine King went berserk.
A hazy glow suddenly lit up between his four arms, and an aura that could shake souls spread across the entire mountain peak in an instant.
"The Divine King is using his supreme weapon."
The short elder, who had planned to approach the Heaven's Gate, immediately retreated.
His earlier actions were purely to provoke the Divine King, forcing him to use his supreme weapon prematurely.
If the Divine King had held off a little longer and let the short elder get close to the Heaven's Gate, the other four eleventh-rank perfected legendary beings wouldn't have been able to sit still.
Boom!
A terrifying aura exploded, and the five powerhouses, led by the short elder, also brought out their treasures.
The battle beneath the Heaven's Gate instantly escalated to another level, and the peak of Heavenly Mountain began to evaporate under the ferocious shockwaves.
"Hahaha! You five fools think you can take me down just by teaming up?"
The Divine King's four arms swung fiercely, and each attack sent shockwaves through the auras of the five eleventh-rank perfected legendary beings, shaking them to their core.
"So strong?"
The short elder's face darkened, but he didn't back down.
The Heaven's Gate was right before them, and he wasn't willing to give it up unless absolutely necessary.
Although the Divine King was currently dominating the fight, it didn't mean he could ultimately defeat them.
Boom! The five powerhouses led by the short elder increased their strength again, holding off the Divine King's frenzied assault.
"Leave."
"We can't stay here any longer."
"Let's go."
One by one, the eleventh-rank powerhouses at the peak began fleeing toward the mountainside.
They had a sense that if they stayed any longer, their lives would be in danger.
"Lord Blood Rain, we should leave too."
Xuan Yuan Duo's tone was urgent. They were only able to withstand the pressure from the Divine King and the other powerhouses due to Lin Yuan's protection.
Most human evolvers didn't even have the qualifications to stand on the mountain peak. Now that the battle between the Divine King and the five powerhouses had escalated, staying any longer would be courting death.
"Leave?"
"Why should we leave?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the Heaven's Gate, which had mostly taken form. "I thought a refined supreme weapon would display greater power in this world, but it turns out that's all."
"What do you mean?" Xuan Yuan Duo was confused. She didn't understand why, at such a dangerous moment, Lord Blood Rain wasn't thinking about avoiding the shockwaves but was instead talking about the power of a supreme weapon.
However.
Before Xuan Yuan Duo could react, Lin Yuan, standing in front of her, took a casual step and disappeared.
Beneath the Heaven's Gate, the Divine King and the five other powerhouses who had been fiercely battling suddenly felt their scalps tingle. As if faced with a life-and-death situation, they were gripped with overwhelming fear and immediately retreated.
Whoosh.
A figure crossed the battlefield where they had just been and appeared before the fully manifesting Heaven's Gate.
This figure stood with its back to the Divine King and the six powerhouses. He raised his right hand and gently made a drawing motion behind him.
A black energy rippled through the air, encircling most of the mountain peak, leaving the Divine King and the six powerhouses outside its boundary.
Only then did Lin Yuan glance at the six powerhouses.
"Cross this line, and you die"
"There will be no mercy"
