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

An unremarkable wooden door materialized, set into the bone that holds the Reverse Scale, measuring no more than a Zhang in width and length, constructed from plain pine wood.

"Get out of the way!"

Roaring fiercely, the White Tiger King slashed with its claws, unleashing a massive White Gold Tiger Paw covering several acres that smashed into a huge lizard, flinging it over a hundred miles away.

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

With a heavy thud, the White Tiger King got hurled backward, yet the wooden door remained completely still.

In Zhao Sheng’s view, the towering White Tiger King, several Zhang in height, mysteriously dwindled to kitten size as it neared within a hundred Zhang of the wooden door.

The collision felt soft and powerless, almost like a gentle pat.

But the White Tiger King perceived it differently.

Once bounced back, it regained its footing, snarled in anger, then abruptly wheeled around, dashing to a nearby Dragon Head and diving into the fray.

Witnessing this, a spark ignited in Zhao Sheng’s thoughts, and he quickly 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 around the second Dragon Head on the right scattered abruptly, hunting for other Dragon Heads.

Tracking the surge with his gaze, Zhao Sheng spotted a Canglong coiled amid the Void, shrouded in dense Death Qi, its form mostly withered to pale bones, on the verge of collapse.

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

Zhao Sheng froze briefly, 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 blended rapidly into the shadows, vanishing entirely.

Zhao Sheng pulled back his eyes and returned to the fight.

Soon after, he sidestepped multiple streams of white light and avoided the enormous maw that darkened the sky, teleporting in a flash to a stone gate and crashing against it.

Accompanied by a grinding noise, the stone gate quivered without end, gradually parting to show a fissure.

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

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

This savage bellow alerted every creature in the vicinity right away.

In that instant, every beast activated its Divine Skills, charging forward with utmost haste.

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

As Zhao Sheng brimmed with delight, a shrill cry pierced from behind, its enchanting tone disrupting his spirit and scattering his focus, locking his body in place instantly.

Bang!

A dark tentacle whipped across, slamming into Zhao Sheng and knocking him airborne.

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

Upon Lady Zhang’s arrival, her nine tentacles whipped at the stone gate in a furious barrage.

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

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

"You scoundrel!" Lady Zhang spat out a thick cloud of black mist in rage, engulfing the gray light without delay.

The gray light wailed pitifully, dissolving swiftly within the black mist.

But a shocking sight unfolded, as the gray light fractured into seven or eight threads of Flowing Light, most trapped in the black mist’s grasp, though one ray broke loose, darting through the crack into the stone gate.

All along, no one caught a glimpse of the gray light’s actual form.

Zhao Sheng dimly sensed that the gray light belonged to the gray-haired giant rat.

This intuition came without reason, yet it struck him with absolute certainty.

Once the gray light disappeared, the stone gate’s opening slowed dramatically.

Simultaneously, the Nine-headed Dragon King appeared riled up, unleashing a roar that shook the earth.

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

Bang bang...

Bursts of white light surged outward, devouring seven or eight beasts.

Although Zhao Sheng barely dodged disaster, his heart burned with desperate need.

The Reincarnation Gate stood so near, but his body wouldn’t budge—utterly infuriating!

Luckily, once the Nine-headed Dragon King unleashed its wrath, the enigmatic Power gripping the Void slowly ebbed, allowing every creature an opportunity to escape.

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

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

He slammed both palms onto the stone gate’s edges, channeling every ounce of power, infusing endless might to speed up its parting far more.

In the midst of this, the White Tiger King pounced toward the stone gate, adding its force to the push.

With death looming, the White Tiger King ignored old grudges; fleeing this hell took priority.

After a single breath, the stone gate gaped over halfway, and Zhao Sheng abruptly compressed his form, balled up, and tumbled fiercely through the gate.

At the exact same instant, a blazing giant claw plunged from above, striking empty air.
