Chapter 978: Straying From the Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Very quickly, news of the Endless Sea closing into the Golden Lake caused many waves. Everyone had a bad feeling in mind.

It was a speculation that was related to Madman Chu.

They did not want to think about it, but there was no other explanation.

Was… the gray mist trying to revive Madman Chu?

If that was the case, was there anyone who could stop him in the world?

!!

That news was naturally spread into the Door of Wonder by the Heavenly Palace. Everyone was incredibly anxious.

The drunkard narrowed his eyes, saying, “So their aim is that altar. The Endless Sea was actually the most important one. The volcanoes were actually not the key!

“The skeleton in the volcano was just a distraction. In truth, the Endless Sea and the altar were the most important!” The strong man frowned as he said.

Yang Jian’s expression turned serious as he said immediately, “This is definitely a backup plan that Madman Chu left behind. We can’t let the Endless Sea get to the Golden Lake!”

“All of you, continue ascending. I’ll subdue the Endless Sea!” Cultivator Junjun said without any hesitation as he headed to the Door of Wonder.

He knew that he already reached the limits of his potential. There was no reason to continue going deeper. He immediately cut off the greed in his heart, because the outer world needed him!

“We’re going too!” Nuwa and Julingshen said at the same time.

They both stopped at the thirty-first step. They were already stronger than regular supreme beings. They were not reluctant to give up on the chance at all.

“Nanan and the others need this chance more than we do! We have to give them enough time!”

That was what all of them thought.

The strongest members would be able to determine the direction of a war. Nanan and the others were much stronger and would be able to influence the outcome even more. Furthermore, Nanan and the others noticeably had more potential than they did, so it was worth it for them to fight for that extra time!

“Then let’s go as well,” Suddenly, a sinister voice was heard. It was Space Disruptor who spoke.

He turned and walked down the steps. Eleven traitors followed behind him. It was their second time entering the Door of Wonder. They knew that they already reached their limits. So they decided to give up and mess with the protectors.

Other than the Unrivaled, all of the traitors prepared to exit. It definitely increased the pressure on the Heavenly Palace.

“Unrivaled, the gray mist is getting closer to the altar. If you continue like this and Madman Chu is revived, it won’t be good for you either! Hurry up and stop!” The drunkard clenched his fists as he said.

“Stop? Haha, are you asking us to stop when things have already advanced to this stage? Only I can be called the Unrivaled in the world. How dare you surpass me? Just go ahead and die. I’ll take this gamble!” The Unrivaled stared at Nanan with red eyes as he laughed maniacally. He had a fierce aura as he said, “This Wisdom is too hard. Why do you understand it, but I don’t? That’s impossible. I’ll find a way!”

The strong man frowned, “He’s gone crazy and got bedeviled.”

“Let’s go!” The drunkard gave up on ascending as well, turning to walk down the steps. The strong man and the Undying followed behind. All of them stopped at the thirty-eighth step.

“We’ll leave the rest to you. I’m just a bit away from the fortieth step. The moment I reach it, I’ll go as well!” Xiao Chengfeng immediately took a deep breath as he anxiously immersed himself again right after he said that.

Yang Jian and himself benefited the most from the expert out of everyone from the Heavenly Palace. So, they walked the furthest as well. The thirty-ninth step and the fortieth step were huge leaps, so they could not give up.

“Yes, we’ll go over first!” Cultivator Junjun nodded, and all of them immediately headed out the door of Wonder.

Behind them, the traitors followed with ill intentions.

The moment they exited the Door of Wonder, they immediately noticed a dense corruption in the air. Their expressions sank.

The situation in the outside world was worse than they expected. The Endless Sea took up a lot more space than it did before. They could see the turbulent seas even from here. The war of the world already spread everywhere. Images were flying everywhere. The moment they exited the Door of Wonder, they were attacked by gray mist cultivators.

Just as they wanted to suppress the Endless Sea, Space Disruptor and the traitors blocked that way.

“Instead of being worried for the others, you should be worrying about yourselves first!” Space Disruptor said coldly. The immense power surged as it locked into everyone. His skills drastically increased in the Door of Wonder as well, reaching the thirty-eighth step. The worst of the traitors behind him reached the thirty ninth-step, and there were three of them who reached the thirty-seventh step. They were incredibly confident.

“Kill them!” The drunkard knew that the group was already completely insane. There was no need for further conversation as he decided to attack right away.

He already prepared the moment he walked out of the Door of Wonder. He pointed forward, and a formless pressure shot right at Space Disruptor. At the same time, the gourd behind him formed a refined sword of wine, stabbing right at Space Disruptor!

He wanted to end the fight quickly.

However, Space Disruptor was well prepared. He clapped his hands and said, “Space distortion!”

Between the drunkard and him, space seemed to completely twist and turn. It was as if countless worlds overlapped each other. The drunkard’s attack diminished as it passed through so many spaces.

“Spatial assassination!” Space Disruptor said with killing intent.

Space quickly started to shatter, forming a pitch black dragon to swallow the drunkard, turning everything to dust. However, when it reached the drunkard, the shattered space stopped.

The drunkard was surrounded by wine. It was like a layer on him that separated the destructive powers outside. It was incredibly fragrant, and it shone in divine light.

At the same time, the strong man and the others did not stay idle. They charged forward with their powers on full display, clashing against the traitors.

The strong man’s supreme being powers surged forward. With just one punch, everything shattered. His physical body was surrounded by dense Wisdom. His body itself seemed to be the strongest treasure in the world, capable of blocking anything.

The Undying was surrounded by the powers of life and death. Raising his left hand, he could revive everything in the world. Waving his right, he could kill any soul. He controlled life and death, facing two supreme beings that stepped on the thirty-seventh step.

Cultivator Junjun’s group pulled up their treasures. They all got to the thirty-first step. They were able to face any of the traitors one on one. Yet, they were at far too big of a numbers disadvantage. Not only did they have no way to suppress the Endless Sea, but they were also in a bad state themselves.
