Lu Qingshan, impaled by lightning spears, witnesses countless cultivators sacrificing themselves to protect him. Luohu questions the meaning of their actions, but Lu Qingshan finds his answer in their defiance. Breaking free from his bonds, Lu Qingshan prepares to open the Heaven's Gate, intending to ascend to the Ancestral Realm as a last resort against the Demon Holy.

In the deepest part of the azure sky.

A rift suddenly appeared.

In it, one could faintly see a pillar of Heaven's Gate crashing down.

The impact shook countless clouds, causing them to fall from the sky.

Numerous rays scattered from it, exceptionally bright.

Beyond the sky, there is another sky.

Heaven's Gate appeared above the sky.

The cloud wall descended, like stars surrounding the moon.

The sky became increasingly bright.

The other pillar of Heaven's Gate finally stood erect at this moment.

Heaven's Gate had descended.

Qingming rippled.

Heavenly River City, or more accurately, the sky over the entire Heavenly River Sea, in an instant, every sea of clouds, regardless of size, was rippled and disappeared.

Anyone who looked up could see an infinitely vast ripple above them, spreading widespread.

The blue sky was like a mirror, cloudless for thousands of miles, with a Heaven's Gate breaking the mirror, standing upright.

"I will avenge you all immediately." Lu Qingshan said softly.

The voice came from within his flowing white hair, echoing only in a small area, but his will would reach the depths of the Netherworld.

"Ah, how can you say there's no clothing when you are in the same robe with your comrades."

Heaven and Earth grew silent.

A strange vision exploded from Heaven's Gate, with dazzling magnificent color rays spreading out in all directions.

Light, endless light, burst forth from Heaven's Gate.

This indicated that Heaven's Gate was about to open.

Lu Qingshan was about to face the most difficult trial.

"Ascending to the Ancestral Realm? You're far from it." Luohu observed the unfolding scene, chuckling softly, giving a fair evaluation from the perspective of a Demon Holy.

"Even though I know you are destined to fail, I still don't intend to give you the chance to try."

Only those in the Ancestral Realm can contend with the Saint Realm.

Lu Qingshan was indeed advancing towards the Ancestral Realm.

Even though Luohu deemed the hope slim, who knows if other variables might occur?

So, it was best to nip everything in the bud.

He was a competent villain.

Luohu took a deep breath, and a seven-colored spear slowly condensed in his palm.

No longer a lightning spear pulled down from the sky.

But a truly tangible seven-colored spear.

Because this time, Luohu wielded the innate bloodline ability of the War Demon Clan.

Refining Furnace.

Using one's body as a furnace to nurture a Demon Soldier.

The Vast Wilderness Semi-Saint, through this divine skill, refined a Demon Suppressing Sword of Taoist Artifact quality.

Of course, this was achieved through countless time and accumulation.

Luohu had only achieved the status of Demon Holy for ten days, and had only mastered the Refining Furnace Divine Ability for ten days.

Ten days is very short,

But he was a Demon Holy.

Thus, his Demon Soldier was also a Taoist Artifact.

The Demon Spear constantly changed colors, releasing an unbelievably evil aura.

Boom!

Luohu threw the seven-colored Demon Spear, aiming straight at Lu Qingshan's head.

At this moment, Luohu withheld nothing, even bringing out this previously unsacrificed Demon Spear.

The Demon Spear shattered space, sweeping with countless demonic lights, containing the mighty and grand power of a Demon Holy.

Clang!

At the critical moment.

The Heaven and Earth Sword stood suspended in front of Lu Qingshan, evolving a clear and bright world, surprisingly absorbing the power of the Demon Spear completely, and swallowing the Demon Spear itself.

Divine Skills of Heaven and Earth.

This was not Lu Qingshan's first time displaying this divine skill.

Its divine name was Qiankun.

Heaven and Earth · Qiankun:

Recognizing the vastness of the world, still cherishing the green of the grass and trees.

When the Heaven and Earth Sword activated this divine skill, it would evolve the universe, except for living beings, anything entering the universe would be banished to an unknown place.

Duration: one breath.

After each activation of Qiankun, there must be a ten-day interval before this strength can be triggered again.

...

The fiercest attack from Luohu to date was cleverly defused by Lu Qingshan.

—Since he had prepared a backup plan in advance, how could Lu Qingshan not consider Luohu's reaction?

No one could stop Lu Qingshan from opening Heaven's Gate anymore.

At least, that was the case at the moment.

The terrifying divine power descended from Heaven's Gate.

At this instant, the light emanating from Heaven's Gate reached its peak.

The light lasted for a moment.

Then suddenly dissipated.

Above the blue sky, Heaven's Gate still stood.

Lu Qingshan was also still alive.

However, he had not ascended to the Ancestral Realm.

Because....

Heaven's Gate did not open!

Countless beings looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Neither humans nor demons expected the story to unfold this way.

Lu Qingshan did not expect it either.

He had thought he might be vulnerable under Heaven's Gate and fall instantly, but he never thought Heaven's Gate would close its doors to visitors.

Luohu was equally stunned.

Whether it was because his Demon Soldier disappeared, or because Heaven's Gate closed its doors to visitors, or both.

After a brief moment of shock, Luohu recovered, unable to hold back raucous laughter, looking at Lu Qingshan and saying: "You look so much like a dog."

He had no expression, and there was no emotion in his voice, yet it seemed slightly pitying.

He did not know exactly what happened.

But he understood that it was destiny.

Lu Qingshan wanted to defy the heavens?

The heavens directly cut off his hope.

.....

Heaven's Gate not opening is against the rules.

The Heavenly Dao is the embodiment of rules, but it too must obey the rules.

This rule is too great for even it to defy.

Yet, it could.

The root of it all is actually very simple.

Because Lu Qingshan is an outsider.

His soul does not belong to this Heaven and Earth.

Lu Qingshan is a visitor from beyond the heavens.

The world has the right to decide whether to welcome or reject a guest.

Therefore, today, this Heaven and Earth's gate did not open for Lu Qingshan.

.....

In fact, Lu Qingshan should be proud of this.

What does this signify?
