What kind of gate was it?
It stood silently in the center of Black Mist. It had been inconspicuous, but now streams of space-time torrents were exploding from it.
A chaos aura that surpassed that of many Outer Gods suddenly filled the area.
“Although it contains space-time, it’s not the Space-Time Dao Fruit! Are you the existence that produced Black Mist?”
With a solemn expression, Fang Yuan attacked. “Universe Obliteration!”
The brilliantly shining saber beam carried the power of two Dao Fruits and the enhancement from the Creator Dao Fruit, and its power was infinitely close to three Dao Fruits!
Not only was the strike astonishing, but it had the power to cut and destroy everything, and even the three Outer Gods did not dare to take it head-on and scattered hurriedly.
The Blade of Universe Obliteration instantly struck the small black gate.
A sound that was indescribable yet carried with it the sense of the universe’s ultimate destruction shook the universe.
“Obscure Gate!?”
Only at this moment did Fang Yuan finally come to know this powerful existence.
Obscure Gate!
It was a great existence that was born in the Great Cosmological Abyss. It had existed ever since this universe appeared and had experienced four eras of its births and deaths. Black Mist, Helix Key, and a host of other Outer Gods were born from it.
According to legend, any living being could attain eternity if they entered the gate.
What had appeared here was not the main body of Obscure Gate but only a clone.
Even so, it absolutely had the power to seal an Outer God!
When the saber beam touched the Obscure Gate clone, Fang Yuan immediately felt a torrent of space-time washing over him.
“Space-Time Undying. I am undying!”
He stood in the river of time and endured the flow of time and the pressure of space, yet his body remained undamaged.
He suddenly felt dizzy.
Fang Yuan frowned, discovering that his palm was shrinking, and his skin was becoming fairer and more delicate.
In the void of the universe behind him, a series of images suddenly emerged. They were scenes of him when he was young and living with Master Heartless in the lower realms.
A young boy in Daoist robes with a bamboo container on his back was picking herbs on a mountain.
“Kill!”
A black saber appeared out of nowhere. Although the faint lightning around it made it shrink continuously, it pierced resolutely toward the boy.
It was going against the flow of time and trying to kill him when he was a child!
The ability of this gate was indeed extremely strange. It actually fused the power of time and karma to travel back in time and kill the child Fang Yuan. Due to karma, even if Fang Yuan did not perish immediately, he would still sustain heavy injuries.
“Karma?” Fang Yuan frowned as he watched the saber kill the boy in the image.
At the same time, his body shook, a terrifying wound appeared on his chest, and his aura weakened.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Three black beams of light appeared from the small black gate, and it instantly shattered.
Behind Fang Yuan, another three scenes of his childhood appeared, and then the black saber killed them.
“What a strange ability… It actually starts killing someone from their beginning. No matter how strong someone is, they would have a childhood. However, I have mastered the Connate Space-Time Undying Great Dao!”
Fang Yuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. “Even if you kill me in my past, as long as my body is still intact, there are infinite possibilities for the future. This is the true meaning of undying!”
As soon as this thought formed, his wounds instantly healed, and his aura recovered quickly.
“True Space-Time Undying! So I have to kill my past? Thank you!”
Suddenly, he comprehended something.
A supreme existence should not have any weaknesses, and that naturally included the weaknesses in childhood.
As long as the main body was present, even if all past selves perished, the present self would still exist. This single point of eternity created countless possibilities!
“Thank you… Obscure Door. If not for you, my comprehension wouldn’t have progressed so fast!”
Fang Yuan howled, and saber light poured out like mercury spreading across the floor, completely eliminating the fragments of the Obscure Gate clone.
After the small black gate disappeared, no more response came.
Perhaps Obscure Gate only gave Black Mist one such clone, or perhaps the loss just now was tremendous for it, and it required time to recover.
Besides, if it could arbitrarily obliterate a Dao Fruit existence’s childhood, that would be too outrageous…
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
He had to admit that Black Mist’s trump card was quite something, and it had consumed a great deal of his energy and vitality.
The Lord of War, the Lord of the Deep Sea, and Black Mist, who had all been expelled outside the battlefield, gathered again. All kinds of cruel intentions seeped out from them.
“It’s just me, who has lost a great deal of vitality, and the Creator Dao Fruit. It’s indeed somewhat troublesome…”
Fang Yuan could not help sighing as a black eye appeared on his palm.
“However… did you think that that was all the cards I had?”
His right hand loosened, and the black Eyeball of Destruction fell into the deep sea, into a trench.
Buzz Buzz!
The celestial bodies in the sky changed as many planets shifted, forming an extremely intricate array.
