Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1454 - 785: Escape Through the Open Door (Part 3)

A plain-looking wooden door materialized, set right into the bone that houses the Reverse Scale, spanning no more than a Zhang in width and length, constructed from simple pine wood.

"Get out of the way!"

The White Tiger King bellowed fiercely, lashing out with its claws, unleashing a massive White Gold Tiger Paw spanning several acres that slammed into a huge lizard, hurling it over a hundred miles away.

Having landed the blow, the White Tiger King morphed into a streak of white Flowing Light that pierced the Void, hurtling directly toward the wooden door.

A resounding bang echoed as the White Tiger King got flung backward, yet the wooden door remained utterly still.

Through Zhao Sheng's vision, the towering White Tiger King, several Zhang in height, mysteriously dwindled to kitten size when it neared within a hundred Zhang of the wooden door.

The collision felt feeble and insignificant, barely more than a light scratch.

But the White Tiger King viewed it differently.

Once bounced back, it quickly regained its footing, let out a frustrated growl, then abruptly wheeled around, dashing off to join the fray at a nearby Dragon Head.

Witnessing this, a spark ignited in Zhao Sheng's thoughts, and he swiftly departed, making his way to another Dragon Head.

Moments later, a vast surge of Will swept across over a thousand li: "This Reincarnation Gate is fake, look for other doors!"

As the surge faded, monsters clustered around the second Dragon Head to the right scattered abruptly, hunting for alternative Dragon Heads.

Tracing the surge's path with his gaze, Zhao Sheng spotted a Canglong twisting through the Void, enveloped in dense Death Qi, its form mostly stripped to pale white bones, on the verge of collapse.

Sensing the attention, the Canglong twisted its head toward him, its eyes deep and endless, resembling a vast, unending sea.

Zhao Sheng froze for an instant, then offered a deep bow: "Junior White Ape, thank you, Senior Xie, for the warning!"

"Leave this hell sooner rather than later, lest you meet the same fate as I."

With those words, the Canglong twisted its form and plunged into the shadows, vanishing completely.

Zhao Sheng pulled back his gaze and dove back into the fight.

Soon after, he weaved past bursts of white light and slipped away from the enormous maw that dominated the sky, teleporting in a flash to a stone gate and crashing against it.

A grinding sound rang out as the stone gate shook violently, gradually parting to show a fissure.

"Indeed... indeed, the Reincarnation Gate has appeared!"

A keen-sighted beast noticed the stone gate giving way and bellowed wildly at once.

That ferocious cry alerted every creature in the vicinity right away.

In a frenzy, every beast activated its Divine Skills, charging forward with utmost haste.

"Get out of the way! Let me go first."

As delight surged through Zhao Sheng, a shrill cry pierced from behind, laced with enchanting sorcery that disrupted his spirit, scattering his focus and locking his body in place.

Bang!

A dark tentacle whipped across, smashing into Zhao Sheng and propelling him through the air.

With a swallow, a shroud of black mist descended before the stone gate, taking shape as a nine-clawed Dark Octopus—the elusive Lady Zhang herself.

Upon Lady Zhang's arrival, her nine tentacles battered the stone gate like a raging downpour.

The stone gate parted at a noticeable pace, the rift in its center expanding wider by the second.

Right then, a bolt of gray Flowing Light streaked in, trying to slip through the door ahead of everyone.

"You scoundrel!" Lady Zhang spat a thick cloud of black mist in rage, swallowing the gray light whole.

A miserable wail escaped the gray light as it melted swiftly within the black mist.

But a shocking turn unfolded: the gray light fractured into seven or eight threads of Flowing Light, most trapped in the mist's grasp, though one sliver burst free, zipping through the crack into the stone gate.

All along, the gray light's actual form stayed hidden from view.

Zhao Sheng had a faint hunch that the gray light belonged to the gray-furred giant rat.

This intuition struck without reason but carried unshakable certainty.

Once the gray light disappeared, the stone gate's opening slowed to a crawl.

Meanwhile, the Nine-headed Dragon King seemed riled up, erupting in a roar that shook the earth.

Suddenly, the nearby Void locked under a colossal Power, ensnaring all beasts like flies caught in resin, barely able to move.

Bang bang...

Streams of white light surged outward, devouring seven or eight beasts in their path.

Zhao Sheng barely dodged the disaster, but anxiety burned fiercely in his chest.

The Reincarnation Gate hovered so near, yet his form refused to budge—pure torment!

Luckily, as the Nine-headed Dragon King's rage subsided, the eerie Power gripping the Void began to ebb, allowing every creature a shot at escape.

Lady Zhang, nearest to the stone gate, wasted no time, shifting into black light and darting through the fissure.

At the sight, Zhao Sheng held nothing back, activating Space-Time Teleportation to reach the stone gate in an instant.

He slammed both palms onto the gate's edges, channeling every ounce of power, flooding it with immense force and speeding up its reveal dramatically.

In that interval, the White Tiger King pounced toward the stone gate, adding its might to the effort.

With death looming, the White Tiger King ignored old grudges; fleeing this infernal realm topped all priorities.

After a single breath, the stone gate gaped over halfway, and Zhao Sheng abruptly compressed his body, balled up tight, and tumbled forcefully inside.

Precisely then, a blazing massive claw plunged from above, striking empty air.
