"This man!"
Wan Tai Huangzun's expression was icy cold. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Since his emergence into the world, he had swept aside all great enemies, pushing through everything in his path. Even among the peerless geniuses of other Eternal Heavenly Races, few could be found who could truly rival his brilliance.
He was hailed as a Heavenly Venerate Seed, and this was not mere empty talk. He truly possessed such terrifying potential, with an extremely dense Heavenly Venerate Bloodline. In a sense, he was practically a younger version of Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate, possessing unparalleled combat power and invincibility within his realm.
All along his path, he had always swept away and suppressed all enemies with an attitude of absolute invincibility. Never had anyone been able to fight him to a standstill.
Even among some of the supreme geniuses of the Eternal Heavenly Races, whose Heavenly Venerate Bloodlines were also strong, there remained an indescribable gap compared to him. In actual combat, he had never encountered anyone who could last more than twenty rounds against him without being defeated, let alone someone who could clash with him for hundreds of rounds at their peak without falling behind, especially after his Heavenly Venerate Bloodline was fully activated.
This was his first time encountering such an opponent.
It could only be said that this Qian Wentian was indeed unbelievably powerful, not to be underestimated.
Wan Tai Huangzun's expression was wary. The prolonged great battle had still not allowed him to suppress his opponent, causing even the incomparably arrogant him to feel a trace of anxiety.
Boom—
Because of this sudden anxiety, Qian Wentian found an opening. Golden light flashed, and with a *pfft* sound, blood radiance splashed forth. Wan Tai Huangzun's figure staggered back over a dozen steps, clearly injured.
This injury only served to make Wan Tai Huangzun feel even more anxious. With a great roar, he charged forward to attack.
However, after his state of mind developed a flaw, Wan Tai Huangzun's condition also began to continuously decline. Consequently, in the later stages, Qian Wentian found corresponding breakthrough opportunities one after another, causing the injuries on Wan Tai Huangzun's body to continuously increase.
Although these wounds were not serious, and were even insignificant to him, the blow to his state of mind was exceptionally great.
Boom—
Finally, at a certain moment, Qian Wentian executed his ultimate combat technique, closing in on Wan Tai Huangzun. With a *pfft* sound, blood radiance shot towards the heavens.
Wan Tai Huangzun's chest was pierced through, and his right shoulder along with his entire right arm were torn apart.
Qian Wentian, like an invincible golden war god, soared through the air and arrived, bathed in boiling Heavenly Venerate Bloodline. With peerless combat techniques, he heavily wounded Wan Tai Huangzun, who crashed heavily onto the Heaven-Mending Battle Platform, tearing through the boundless heaven and earth of the desolate great world.
This scene made all the spectating powerhouses' hearts pound with fear.
No one had expected that Wan Tai Huangzun, who had appeared so domineering and overbearing, would end up in such a miserable state, heavily wounded and bleeding at the hands of Qian Wentian.
Within the Heaven-Mending Ancient Hall, the expressions of the many powerhouses of the Wanxuan Heavenly Race were gloomy. Their gazes towards Qian Wentian on the Heaven-Mending Battle Platform were filled with killing intent.
Naturally, in such a situation, it was not appropriate for them to intervene too much. Ultimately, this was a contest belonging to the younger generation.
Therefore, even Wan Shan, the Great Truth Ancient Ancestor, despite his overwhelming killing intent, did not lightly intervene.
Because doing so would only make the situation more serious.
"Qian Wentian, today, this seat must kill you!"
Wan Tai Huangzun's state of mind had developed a flaw, a flaw exposed by Qian Wentian's attacks.
Although he himself was indeed strong, even peerless in the world with no one in the same realm surpassing him—even someone as powerful as Qian Wentian could only fight him to a draw.
But it was precisely because he had always been too proud, too overbearing, that now, upon encountering another opponent whose strength was not the slightest bit inferior to his own, his long-held prideful mentality had completely collapsed.
Therefore, flaws appeared, and thus Wan Tai Huangzun was defeated.
His hair was disheveled, his body covered in blood. His gaze towards Qian Wentian was filled with killing intent.
If he could not kill Qian Wentian today, it would become a lifelong flaw in his state of mind, forever a thorn that would affect his breakthroughs.
Perhaps, even the Great Void level would stand before him like a heavenly gate, impossible to break through for the rest of his life!
Rumble—
Silently, above Wan Tai Huangzun's head, a divine palace gate appeared. It seemed ancient and damaged, immensely huge, like a heavenly pass.
Calling it a divine palace gate was more like calling it a Heavenly Gate.
This Heavenly Gate pressed down upon the myriad heavens, emanating a majestic heavenly might. It immediately suppressed downwards, causing the desolate great world manifested by the Heaven-Mending Battle Platform to shake violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.
The moment this Heavenly Gate appeared, all the powerhouses changed expressions.
Within the Heaven-Mending Ancient Hall, many supreme powerhouses stood up in shock.
Even a Great Void level giant like the Heaven-Mending Young City Lord rose to his feet, his eyes flashing with astonishment: "This is a true Heavenly Gate, the divine gate of the heavenly palace of one of the supreme Heavenly Venerates of old!"
In the outside world, it was widely rumored that the Heaven-Mending City Lord's lineage were descendants of the Heaven-Mending Venerate of old, and were also suspected to be members of the long-vanished Heaven-Mending Race.
Although these had always been rumors without confirmation, there was no doubt that the Heaven-Mending Young City Lord was knowledgeable and experienced. He recognized the truth of that Heavenly Gate—it was the divine gate, also called the Heavenly Gate, of the heavenly palace of a certain supreme Heavenly Venerate of old.
Heavenly Gates originated from the Ancient Halls of supreme Heavenly Venerates. They were not necessarily built by the supreme Heavenly Venerates themselves, but a supreme Heavenly Venerate residing in an Ancient Hall for endless eons would cause the entire hall to be imbued with the aura of the Eternal Heavenly Dao. Even ordinary objects, after endless eons of such imbuing, would become heavenly objects.
How much more so for a Heavenly Gate, one of the facades of a Heavenly Venerate's Ancient Hall, imbued with even more of the Eternal Heavenly Dao's aura, making it a true heavenly object in name and reality.
Once such a Heavenly Gate appeared, even if it was only a damaged one, it still contained unparalleled imposing might.
Wan Tai Huangzun was regarded by the Wanxuan Heavenly Race as a Heavenly Venerate Seed and cultivated with all their might. He even had a Great Truth level Ancient Ancestor following by his side to protect his path. Even possessing such a Heavenly Gate was within reason, and no one found it surprising.
Only, what was terrifying was that Wan Tai Huangzun already possessed Great Void level combat power. Paired with this damaged Heavenly Gate, just how strong would he be? Probably even Great Truth level existences would have to be somewhat wary.
The Heaven-Mending City Lord looked at that damaged Heavenly Gate. The faint smile that had been on his face disappeared, replaced by an expressionless mask. He looked at Wan Shan and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan Shan, this Heavenly Gate—I wonder how Young Friend Wan Tai obtained it?"
Wan Shan raised his eyes to meet his gaze directly, somewhat surprised, but said, "Wan Tai obtained it by chance during an exploration of a Heavenly Venerate's ruins."
The Heaven-Mending City Lord nodded faintly, without further words.
Wan Shan frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand the Heaven-Mending City Lord's attitude.
On the Heaven-Mending Battle Platform, Wan Tai Huangzun, bearing the damaged Heavenly Gate on his back, had wisps of heavenly might surging forth, pressing down upon the battle platform's great world.
Even though Qian Wentian was strong, at this moment he felt an unspoken sense of suffocation. He only felt that damaged Heavenly Gate was truly terrifying. Once it pressed down, it seemed it could directly suppress, even annihilate him.
He knew that was definitely a Heavenly Dao supreme treasure, a heavenly object with a certain connection to a supreme Heavenly Venerate.
He also hadn't expected that Wan Tai Huangzun would possess such a heavenly object.
