A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2263 Open Sky Gate

Ye Qingtian could not help but let out a bitter smile while hearing Aaron and Carlo's words. It could be seen that his smile was somewhat sad.

“Do you think there's any chance of survival under the area after a nuclear explosion? Moreover, on the day Ye Fan appeared, The Great Four joined forces to besiege him. Even if he was lucky enough to survive the nuclear explosion, The Great Four would surely deliver the final blow. So, don't get your hopes up. The only ones we can rely on are the three of us in today's world.” Ye Qingtian's words were filled with solemn. Aaron and Carlo were also depressed.

Did Chu Tianfan ultimately fall?

“Where is Dragon God Hall? Where are those powerful Supremes from Dragon God Hall? Back then, Chu Tianfan managed to defeat Chu Sect with the help of Dragon God Hall's team. Although Chu Tianfan is dead now, those powerful Supremes from Dragon God Hall should still be around. Why don't we unite the people of Dragon God Hall to fight against The Great Four of Empyrean Ranking?”

It seemed as though Prince Carlo suddenly remembered something, and he spoke up. However, after saying that, the self-mocking expression on Ye Qingtian's face became even more intense.

“Carlo, can you think before you speak? We are the ones who have driven Chu Tianfan to his death. Do you think the people from Dragon God Hall will help us? It's already good enough that they don't hate us.”

He added, “Furthermore, those Dragon Slayers are even more arrogant than the others. Ye Fan is probably the only one who can mobilize them in this world. Let's not even think about it for the three of us to get help from them.”

Ye Qingtian shook his head. Carlo and Aaron both felt a sudden sense of despair. They could predict their outcome if they went to challenge the entire world.

“What should we do now? Just sit back and wait for death? Once Sky Gate Formation is activated, there's bound to be even more terrifying events happening.”

Aaron looked at Carlo and Ye Qingtian. At that moment, Ye Qingtian's eyes were filled with solemnness as he said, “My plan is even if there's only a tiny bit of hope, we should still give it our all! Now they have gathered at Kransbay, probably intending to activate Sky Gate Formation.”

He continued, “Although the three of us may be weak, as long as we show up at the right time, we can still break their formation. There will undoubtedly be bound to be dangerous if we go to Kransbay. But giving it a try is always better than just waiting for the inevitable, right? Certainly, this is just my opinion. I won't force it upon the two of you.”

While speaking, Ye Qingtian handed over a medicine bottle.

“This is from Ms. Junie, Ye Fan's soulmate. It has remarkable healing and recovery effects. After both of you take it, your injuries and strength should be able to recover significantly overnight.”

He added, “I'll give you one night to think about it. Tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you at the long pavilion a kilometer away for two hours. It's up to you whether you come.”

Ye Qingtian did not guilt-trip them. Instead, he put down the medicine bottle and handed the right to choose to Carlo and Aaron. As for him, he was leaving Seine River. He headed to the distant pavilion a kilometer away and seated for a night. The next morning, when the first ray of the morning light illuminated the earth, the entire world instantly regained its vitality of days gone by. The vehicles were bustling on the street while the pedestrians were coming and going like a woven tapestry.

As always, everyone went to work and school. However, who could have known that the world was approaching its end? Soon, two hours had passed. Ye Qingtian stood up and cast a regretful glance at the beautiful and fertile land of Western Epea. In the end, Aaron and Carlo never showed up. With a heart full of loneliness, Ye Qingtian turned around and set off for Kransbay alone. From afar, his figure appeared so incredibly lonely. However, before Ye Qingtian could go far, he saw two figures standing ahead, waiting for him. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“War God, sorry to keep you waiting. I went home and had breakfast with my family,” said Prince Carlo with a smile.

Aaron also said, “I went to take a look at my daughter, and it caused a bit of a delay. Sorry, War God, for keeping you waiting.”

The two old men were laughing. Ye Qingtian did not say anything and smiled as well. At last, he stepped forward and embraced the two old men tightly. Regardless of whether they were once friends or comrades in battle, at least Ye Qingtian, Aaron, and Carlo had cast aside the boundaries of their countries and ethnicities but truly stood on the same starting point at the moment.

“Let's go!”

“Let's go!”

“Let's head to China, Mount Kransbay!” On that seemingly ordinary day, those three men had embarked on a journey toward their inevitable demise with unwavering determination and resolve. In China's ancient myths and legends, Mount Kransbay had always been one of the most mysterious Sacred Mountains, known as the ancestor of the mountain. Legend had it that Divine One of Jade Palace was situated atop that mountain, so it had an alternate name of “Jade Mountain.” Moreover, since Mount Kransbay was located in the northwest, it was also known as “Heavenly Mountain.”

One could say that Mount Kransbay was the place closest to Celestial Realm. This was also why Chu Tianqi chose that mountain as the location to activate Sky Gate Formation. As the powerful Supremes from various countries gathered there, the final preparations had undoubtedly been completed.

“Reporting to the master, a hundred most elite genius martial artists are now in position. The five altars of Eight Trigram Formation each possess twenty fire seeds. In addition, there were two hundred and eighteen reserve fire seeds,” reported Mu Zihua of Moryana respectfully. A man in a crimson gown stood upright at the summit of Mount Kransbay before him. That person was none other than Chu Tianqi. However, after being saved back then, Chu Tianqi seemed to be half- possessed by someone, and his personality changed drastically. At that moment, he was like a demon lord commanding the world with an imposing and domineering demeanor.

“Very well. Tell them, the ceremony will begin in ten minutes!”

Upon Chu Tianqi's command, the final moment had begun. Mount Kransbay had already gathered over eighty percent of the martial arts world's powerful Supremes. Apart from the fire seeds used for sacrifice, there were also various powerful Supremes responsible for maintaining security, such as Sword God Mochizuki Kawa from Japan, Sword Saint from China, and King of Fighters. Dozens of powerful Supremes had completely sealed off Mount Kransbay. Not even a bird could fly in, nor could an insect crawl through. In the land of China, Kransbay, which had stood tall for millions of years, finally became a forbidden ground in the world. At last, ten minutes had passed. The final preparations were thoroughly completed. The truly great moment had arrived.

Suddenly, a rainbow light shone brightly across the tranquil Kransbay. Chu Qitian stood on the horizon and soared into the sky. He stood proudly at the center of the universe, atop Kransbay, embracing sky and earth while moaning to the sky.

“Using blood as medicine, and the soul as a guide... Offering the souls of all beings as a sacrifice.... Through countless lifetimes, eternal and everlasting, and never entering the cycle of reincarnation...”

“Please open, Sky Gate!”

Boom!

Accompanied by Chu Tianqi's moaning, everyone could only see that the sudden light shone intensifying in the five altars of Eight Trigram Formation, centered around the peak of Mount Kransbay.

It was as if being summoned. A red pillar of light formed a Hexagram Altar on the surface. On each altar, there stood twenty genius and powerful Supremes. However, as the altar was activated, the formation began to unfold. At the five altars, a total of one hundred genius powerful Supremes astonishingly appeared one after another. In an instant, the flesh and blood burst into a mist of gore. They did not even have the chance to scream before their bodies and souls were completely transformed into nourishment, irrigating into Sky Gate Formation.
