Chapter 1261

"Do you think the Ninth World will be saved if you kill me?"

He looked at Gu Chen peacefully, as if he had already seen through life and death.

He had killed countless people in his life, so he was naturally prepared to be killed.

After realizing that he would definitely die, he no longer felt fear.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Chen's expression became solemn and earnest. "I know very well that this isn't the end."

Pang Zheng glanced at him. For the first time, there was some admiration in his eyes.

"It seems like you know what you're going to face next. You're not fearless because you're ignorant."

"In the past, there were many so-called Sons of the Era who thought they could fight against the heavens and caused a lot of trouble. When they found out how powerful the Xing County was, they all cried."

"At least you're not like that. Although you're still unknown in the Chaotic Sea, if you can survive this, there might be a place for you on the Chaotic Myriad Spirit List."

"Perhaps it's not a waste to die in your hands."

Pang Zheng looked at everything calmly and recalled his life.

In fact, he had also come from a remote and weak world. That world had been caught in the flames of war brought by the Xing County, just like the Ninth World.

However, the decision he made back then was different from the person before him. He chose to surrender and be loyal to the powerful Xing County.

He destroyed his hometown with his own hands and boarded the Xing County's battleship that day …

He had spent his entire life on the battlefield. His hands were stained with countless blood and he had countless honors. However, now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember anything that was worth remembering.

He glanced at the vast starry sky. Those tiny creatures were cheering and jumping. Their emotions were so simple and pure.

"Is it worth it for them?"

His eyes slowly dimmed. He looked at Gu Chen and asked with his last bit of strength.

"True strength never comes from oneself."

Gu Chen replied calmly.

His current strength wasn't due to him alone. It was due to Emperor Huang, the Celestial Thearch, the Kunlun Divine Emperor, and many other ancestors and comrades. There was even his old enemy, the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

Pang Zheng pursued personal strength and was willing to pay any price for it.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, was different. His personal experience made him realize that people would only become strong in order to protect something.

Even the Man with a Bamboo Hat, who had committed all sorts of crimes, had his own principles.

They had the same hometown, and no matter how rotten this hometown was, it would not allow outsiders to trample on it. This was the reason why they were so powerful!

Giving up something you care about for the sake of becoming stronger is just another kind of cowardice!

"Is that so? What you said might be right, but the Heavenly Dao is merciless. Can you bear it? "

Pang Zheng looked up at the sky, as if he was laughing at Gu Chen, but also at himself.

With that, his primordial spirit disintegrated, turning into specks of light that scattered in the starry sky.

He only left behind a dazzling body. Even after his death, his physical body was still immortal.

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with the image of him raising his head to look at the sky before he died, and he felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

The Heavenly Dao was ruthless. The most ruthless Heavenly Dao in the Ninth Realm was about to appear!

Rumble.

In the sky, the wind and clouds suddenly surged. Countless dark clouds gathered, accompanied by the shocking sound of thunder!

The cheers on the battlefield quickly stopped. Countless cultivators of the Ninth Realm looked up at the sky, their faces full of shock.

"What happened? This phenomenon is a little strange. "

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor and the Buddha Emperor of the West Heaven were both shocked at this moment, and they looked at each other. "It's coming!"

Feng Yaya's purple hair danced in the wind as she stared at the sky and murmured.

"The death of the Tian Fa General is an extremely serious matter. How could that supreme being not sense it?"

Gu Chen stared at the sky and clenched his fists tightly.

In the raging thunderclouds, a huge door was faintly discernible!

The door was dark purple, and there were all sorts of strange patterns carved on it.

The patterns on it represented all the worlds and races under the rule of Xing County. On the body of the door, there were countless chains wrapped around it, representing restraint and authority!

"The Door of Decaying Dao!"

Many powerful figures of the Ninth Realm quickly recognized the door that appeared in the sky, and their faces revealed an instinctive fear.

"Please don't open it …"

Li Shunyu stared at the door and murmured.

Crack, crack.

However, things did not go according to plan. After the majestic Door of Decaying Dao appeared, the chains on the door slowly slid down, as if it had passed through complicated time and space, and the door slowly opened!

Every time a Son of an Era appeared, the Door of Decaying Dao would sound a warning.

And every time the Door of Decaying Dao opened, it meant death and destruction …

A million years ago, the Door of Decaying Dao appeared, and the first Celestial Emperor died in battle. All the Celestial Emperors and God Emperors perished!

Two years ago, the Door of Decaying Dao appeared, and the Jingling Taoist died, and the Divine Realm collapsed!

Today, it appeared again, and it was obvious who it was targeting.

All the cultivators in the universe looked at Gu Chen, their hearts filled with fear, worry, and all sorts of other complicated emotions.

"The hardest part has come. Whether the Ninth Realm can really survive this or not depends on how Gu Chen handles it," Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor murmured.

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor murmured, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

A million years ago, when the Celestial World collapsed and the Celestial Thearch died in battle, he was not there. He blamed himself endlessly for that.

After that, he left the Ape Planet alone to investigate the matter. Not long after, he encountered the Decaying Dao Gate.

Back then, in order to completely eliminate the resistance forces in the Ninth Realm, Xing County did not allow any Dao Querying Realm emperors to live. Hence, they used the Door of Decaying Dao.

Wherever the Gate of Dao and Decay passed, the sound of emperors falling could be heard. Many Deity Emperors who surrendered to Xing County died because of this.

When faced with the Door of Decaying Dao that represented Daoist Xing's supreme authority, some people chose to die, while others chose to mutilate themselves and seal themselves like the Emperor of the Underworld in order to prolong their feeble existence.

However, he was different. He'd realized that he was no match for the Gate of Dao and Decay, and he wasn't willing to just live like the Emperor of the Netherworld. Thus, he'd chosen an extremely dangerous path of reincarnation.

He split his power into five and became the Five Forefathers of the Mental Ape Race. This allowed him to avoid the suppression of the Door of the Decaying Dao Realm.

His soul was also reincarnated as one of the Five Patriarchs.

He'd used this method to cultivate through reincarnation so that when the time was right, he'd have the power to fight against the Door of Decaying Dao.

In the end, he'd succeeded. Now, he was stronger than he had been in the Primordial Age.

Even so, looking at the Door of Decaying Dao, which was even more powerful than the Primordial Age, he still didn't have the confidence to win.

That was Daoist Xing's mythical weapon. Xing County had conquered hundreds of worlds on the Chaos Sea with his martial prowess, and this mythical weapon was the root of everything!

Facing the Door of Decaying Dao, how was Gu Chen going to deal with it?

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was worried, and the Buddha Emperor of the Western Heaven was also shaken.

Back then, he'd sacrificed his own life in exchange for the peace of the Western Heaven. Wasn't it because he couldn't fight against the Door of Decaying Dao?
