As soon as he saw Obscure Gate, Fang Yuan obtained a bunch of information from it. For example, speculations about the realm beyond Dao Ancestor!
That was to refine the entire universe and become the Lord of the Universe!

After all, the lifespan of a universe was extremely long. Furthermore, after it perished, a new one would form in the same place, seeming to be a series of reincarnations that never ended.
Refining a universe was extremely difficult, with Obscure Gate having not succeeded even after experiencing multiple births and deaths of this universe being a prime example. Fang Yuan had never met a Lord of the Universe in all his travels either.
However, it was also a path, a possibility!
“It’s only… this kind of reincarnation will break eventually. The Huaxia Universe is the best example. Regressing into void isn’t the same as the death of a universe but rather when it’s impossible to give birth to a new universe.”
Seeing how Obscure Gate and Three-Faced Key had become life-and-death enemies over the opportunity to refine the universe, Fang Yuan felt strange.
But naturally, he would not tell them about the information he had obtained.
“Go!”
Three-Faced Key continued approaching Obscure Gate without any energy fluctuations. The three vortexes fused into one and transformed into a giant key.
Obscure Gate’s response was incredibly imposing. Countless giant gate shadows appeared around it, acting as layers of barriers that seemed to contain the births and deaths of worlds within.
Even a few auras that were unique to the Outer Gods were swiftly approaching.
“Those are… the Outer God progeny of Obscure Gate. It’s summoning its progeny to fight!”
Fang Yuan sensed what was happening, and he naturally would not allow it to happen without interfering.
“Great Destruction God!”
He waved with his right hand. The three-headed, six-armed war machine appeared in space, breathing chaos, forming tides.
“Light of Universe!” the Great Destruction God roared as it slashed in all directions.
The power of five Dao Fruits even smashed the universe and chaos, and a few scenes emerged.
The saber beam ground the large mass of Black Mist, and it screamed agonizingly as it oozed large volumes of blood.
This was Black Mist. In addition, the Outer Gods in two other directions sustained heavy injuries. The aftermath of the attack wiped out every planet caught in it.
In a fight between the Outer Gods, the pain was unbearably hard to endure even for a universe!
Especially with the Great Destruction God!
With the power of five Dao Fruits coupled with the Great Destruction Dao Fruit, if it used all of its power, it could cause this universe to enter the phase of death, just like the last universe.
“Ordinary Outer Gods can’t even participate in this battle…”
After cleaning up the periphery, Fang Yuan immediately turned his attention to the center of the battlefield.
The silver key advanced forth and broke through many phantoms, but it could not reach the core of the universe where Obscure Gate was no matter how hard it tried.
“Makes sense… If Three-Faced Key were a match for Obscure Gate, then it wouldn’t have been repelled from the Heart of the Universe and allied with me!”
Fang Yuan nodded. The Great Destruction God roared, all three faces showed the expressions of rage, and six arms smashed down ferociously.
Rumble!
With an explosion that seemed to shatter the universe, the black gate phantoms crumbled one after another. The silver key advanced further and touched the true body of Obscure Gate.
The two most powerful Outer Gods of the universe started a battle of attrition.
“Looks like… Three-Faced Key also has a trump card that can deal with Obscure Gate. Of course, the prerequisite is being able to touch it…”
And now, with Fang Yuan’s help, it had undoubtedly fulfilled that prerequisite.
Before Fang Yuan’s eyes, cracks started appearing on the surface of the black gate, and it was actually crumbling bit by bit.
This incredible scene could only be explained by the fact that everything had a counter.
“However… merely the clone of Obscure Gate had almost killed me last time. Why is it so weak now?”
Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed. Suddenly, he saw that most of Obscure Gate had collapsed, revealing a black heart that was pulsing energetically, with blood vessels connecting it with the gate.
Fang Yuan had an ominous feeling as soon as the heart appeared. The pulsing of the heart seemed to merge with the fluctuations of the universe.
“No… Stop!”
Fang Yuan’s heart sank. A dream-like saber beam appeared, slashing at the silver key.
Ping!
The giant silver key split apart and reverted back to three silver vortexes once again. The furious psyche roar was like a wave. “What are you doing?”
“I should be the one asking that. You’re actually helping Obscure Gate refine the entire universe!” Fang Yuan returned the roar without restraint.
He finally made sense of it all. Although Obscure Gate was at the core of the universe and had experienced several of its births and deaths, it was unable to completely refine it and become the Lord of the Universe because it was too strong!
That unparalleled body was its biggest obstacle to refining the universe.
Even Obscure Gate could not do anything about it. The attack of Three-Faced Key at full force likewise did nothing.
Therefore, it had used the combined strength of Three-Faced Key and Fang Yuan to shatter its body. By implementing a ‘martial liberation1‘ tactic and using their attacks to cast off its body to unleash its full potential, it was able to comprehend the fluctuations of the universe and completely refine this universe!
“Obscure Gate is too strong… Strong to the extent that even it couldn’t kill itself. It could only rely on the combined strength of me and Three-Faced Key! No wonder it reacted so sluggishly to our attack…”
Thump! Thump!
