King of Creation Chapter 2017 - 2002: White Bone Gate

The blood light of the War Soul Blood Flag flashed, and the Demon Marshal’s Avatar, Ye Zhen, Hei Er, Hei Qi, and others appeared before a valley where a massive army was gathering.

The valley wasn’t large, about 700 miles long and 50 miles wide, currently packed with at least 200,000 strong Demon Soul Army, surrounding it tightly.

If the Demon Soul Realm had flying birds or mosquitoes, not even a single fly could get in.

The valley appeared ordinary, no different from other territories within the Demon Soul Realm.

The soil had a faint blood color, the void was gray and misty, and on either side of the valley, there grew some lifeless blood and gray weeds unique to the Demon Soul Realm.

Blood red and gray, these were the main colors of the Demon Soul Realm.

"This valley seems to have nothing unusual?" Ye Zhen’s powerful Primordial Spirit Divine Thought poured over like water, revealing no difference between the valley and other parts of the Demon Soul Realm.

Honestly, just by looking, it’s hard to tell if this valley could possibly hide the inheritance of an Ancient Demon God.

Ye Zhen adjusted a translucent jade-like dark green hairpin securing his hair, which inexplicably moved slightly. The voice of the Little Demon returning from underground then sounded in Ye Zhen’s mind.

The moment they landed, the Little Demon emerged from beneath Ye Zhen’s feet, first going to scout the valley. Within just a few breaths, it had already found results.

"Father, this valley is strange. Whether it’s my avatar or my main body, neither can enter, as if there’s an invisible barrier."

"Grand Marshal, this valley, from the outside, appears indistinguishable from other areas.

But once you step inside, you’ll find it different.

This valley’s entrance seems like the doorway to another Secret Realm or space.

We discovered this valley’s anomaly a few months ago when chasing a surviving Demon Soul remnant. A Myriarch inadvertently stumbled upon it, leading us to encircle it.

However, for the past four months, we’ve tried every method and still could not step into the valley’s entrance." Hei Qi said.

"An entrance to a Secret Realm or space?"

"Let’s go!"

In the next moment, led by Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal’s Avatar, everyone strode towards the narrow entrance of the valley.

"Grand Marshal, the entrance is a hundred miles within the valley."

As they rushed ahead, nothing seemed amiss inside the valley, but as they reached a hundred miles deep into the narrow path, the scene drastically changed.

With one step inside, another world unfolded before Ye Zhen and his companions.

A white bone gate purely made of countless accumulated bones appeared before them.

The white bone gate towered a thousand feet tall and a hundred feet wide, constructed of bones in various sizes and colors.

The smallest bone forming this white bone gate was a meter thick, and the thickest, visible, reached up to a hundred meters in diameter.

The white bone gate was adorned with countless skulls of different designs—human, demon, various demon beasts, and many unrecognizable skulls.

Upon each skull, countless intricate and mysterious patterns were engraved, faintly glowing with a pale white light.

The colossal bones had even more intricate patterns. Cautiously, Ye Zhen used his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought to observe the complex patterns on the white bone gate. As his divine thought just immersed, numerous obscure auras transformed into surging blood waves, rushing towards Ye Zhen.

The blood waves overwhelmed the sky, each wave filled with endless killing intent and evil Qi, eager to swallow the insignificant Ye Zhen like a speck in the ocean.

Ye Zhen let out a slight cry, and his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought abruptly retreated, causing the overwhelming blood waves to disappear instantly.

Ye Zhen’s heart relaxed, only to find in horror that his back was drenched in cold sweat.

At this time, Ye Zhen unexpectedly discovered that his hair had somehow come loose, and the Little Demon, a part of his hairpin acting as his avatar, had vanished.

Soon after, Ye Zhen found the trembling Little Demon within his Yimu Spiritual Palace.

At that moment, the Little Demon, much like a frightened child, shook within Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Palace, entirely unlike its usual formidable self.

"Little Demon, what’s wrong?"

"Father, I’m scared, so scared!"

"That aura, pure death, slaughter, annihilation force, every Dao Pattern on those bones contains the most primal force of death and decay in existence, a type of force that wood element beings like us dislike, and also poses the greatest threat to us!"

Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, softly patting the Little Demon’s trembling head with a giant hand formed by Primordial Spirit Divine Thought, "With me here, there’s nothing to fear!"

After devouring the spiritual power and power of the Heaven and Earth Laws contained in Tu Zheng’s two remnant tails, equivalent to two-sevenths of Tu Zheng’s strength...

The Little Demon’s cultivation had soared to the peak of Early Dao Realm and had hit a small bottleneck.

After reaching the Dao Realm, cultivation advancement no longer solely depended on increasing Spiritual Power Cultivation, even though the Demon Race naturally progresses faster and more conveniently than the Human Clan.

However, upon reaching the Dao Realm, this gap significantly narrows.

After the Dao Realm, the comprehension of Heaven and Earth Law Power determines the height and bottleneck of one’s cultivation.

Before the Dao Realm, the physical body and Dark Palace were barrels, and cultivation was the water, but after breaking into the Dao Realm, cultivation remains the water, yet the main component of the barrel transforms into the Power of Laws.

In other words, the Little Demon’s current Heavenly Law Power is insufficient, halting its cultivation at the peak of the Early Dao Realm.

However, for the Little Demon, seizing an opportunity to devour one or two more Dao Realm experts would likely lead to a breakthrough.

Truth be told, for the Little Demon to have such rapid progress within less than a year—from the late stage of the Realm King Realm to the Dao Realm’s early stage—is nothing short of miraculous.

Generally, it takes decades painstakingly comprehending Heaven and Earth Laws for a martial artist at the peak of the late stage of the Realm King Realm to break into the Dao Realm, sometimes even centuries.

Moreover, advancing from breaking into the Dao Realm to reaching the early stage of the Dao Realm typically requires decades or even hundreds of years of hard work.

The reason for such disparity mainly lies in the importance of talent and comprehension once martial artists reach the Dao Realm.

Some people, through a single night’s comprehension, grasp as much Heavenly Law Power as others do in ten or even decades.

While others, after a century of painstaking study, might not surpass what some comprehend in a year or two of diligent cultivation.

Yet, to say that such a mighty Dao Realm expert like the Little Demon is as scared as a child would be unbelievable to anyone.

Of course, in Ye Zhen’s heart, the Little Demon is almost like a child.

As Ye Zhen comforted the Little Demon, Hei Er, Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, and the others were explaining the methods they’d tried to Ye Zhen.

Faced with the white bone gate, they had unleashed their strongest attacks, even employing the force of an entire legion in a sustained bombardment lasting a full fifteen minutes.

Yet, it remained unmoved.

Rather eerily, when they unleashed their power upon the white bone gate, not only did it suffer no harm, but it also absorbed some of their energy instead.

Hei Er and the others even tried using physical strength, although their Demon Souls were energy bodies, the bodies they formed from this energy still possessed a degree of physical power.

Over a hundred Realm King Realm Demon Souls and the three of them exerted all their strength to push this white bone gate, yet it remained completely still.

Afterward, they attempted several methods to enter behind the white bone gate to glimpse what lay within.

However, whether they tried bypassing the white bone gate from other directions or using the deepest secret Seal Formulas etched into their life imprints, none of them worked, and they couldn’t step into the world beyond the gate.

Moreover, they couldn’t even budge the white bone gate at all.

Although they wanted to contact Grand Marshal Ye Zhen, they couldn’t reach him and had been racking their brains in futile effort, waiting for Ye Zhen’s arrival.

"Let me give it a try!" Ye Zhen said.
