Chapter 1128: The Shattering of the Mysterious Gateway (With gratitude for the generous support of 'Blue Withered Eagle')
October 4th, 2017
Youzhou, Liaoxi Prefecture, Shanhaiguan, outside the Mysterious Gateway.
Lu HaiKong stared at the scene before him, somewhat dazed by the sight of Hou Junji being cleaved in half and the combined might of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong's assault. To be honest, his previous axe strike hadn't been intentional, and he hadn't expected these two individuals to be part of the formation.
At that moment, Lu HaiKong had fully activated his Celestial Eye Technique, but his entire focus was on deciphering the core of the intricate formation. Even with the Celestial Eye Technique granting him complete insight into the formation's intricacies, breaking it was still a challenge. In such a situation, he genuinely hadn't noticed the presence of Du Ruhui.
Therefore, Lu HaiKong hadn't anticipated that his successful deciphering of the formation would also yield an unexpected bonus.
He couldn't quite comprehend the actions of these two individuals who had rushed to their deaths. Why had they done this? They had already managed to escape, yet instead of seizing the opportunity to flee, they had lingered by the formation, preparing something. In their carelessness, they had sealed their own fate.
However, Lu HaiKong didn't mind this unexpected surprise. After all, it was a pure gain. After confirming their deaths, he quickly gathered their belongings and turned his attention to the mysterious gateway not far away.
"This thing feels rather peculiar!"
As he gazed at the mysterious gateway before him, Lu HaiKong's eyes narrowed.
Lu HaiKong had shattered numerous mysterious gateways, three of which were in their inactive state. He had also destroyed one in their North Seal City that was active, but none of them resembled the one before him now.
The most significant difference was that this gateway possessed something the previous gateways, destroyed by Lu HaiKong, lacked.
Even without activating the Celestial Eye Technique, Lu HaiKong could sense that this gateway was enveloped in a force akin to fortune, unlike the other four gateways he had encountered.
Unfamiliar with this phenomenon, Lu HaiKong didn't engage in wild speculation. Instead, he immediately employed the Celestial Eye Technique to analyze the attributes of the gateway before him.
The attributes revealed by the Celestial Eye Technique were not drastically different from those of the previous mysterious gateways, except for one additional piece of information.
[Concentrated life force and fortune plundered from Liaoxi, Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuantu Prefectures!]
This attribute was absent from the gateways Lu HaiKong had encountered before. Upon seeing this, he understood the situation.
The so-called transdimensional invasion was a campaign to plunder the fortune and vitality of another world, and the mysterious gateways served as the conduit for this transfer. The transdimensional demons used these gateways to siphon the fortune and vitality from the world.
Having deduced the enemy's strategy, Lu HaiKong wasted no time. He immediately launched an assault on the transdimensional gateway.
He could sense that a significant amount of fortune and vitality remained within the gateway, yet to be plundered. By destroying the gateway now, he could intercept most of it.
"Quickly! Everyone, attack together! We must destroy the mysterious gateway in the shortest time possible!"
As he spoke, Lu HaiKong charged forward, simultaneously activating his warrior trait once more.
Lu Hai Kong had previously mentioned that his Warrior Trait had advanced, and now it had reached the Unique level. Not only did it possess Magic Suppression, but it could also destroy a portion of items. Additionally, Lu Hai Kong's ability to enhance the Military Power of his subordinates had increased to a whopping 5 points, surpassing the 100 limit.
With his Warrior Trait activated, Lu Hai Kong's Military Power soared from 97 to 102. Dian Wei's power rose to 104, while Huang Zhong's Military Power skyrocketed to an astonishing 105. Even Princess San's strength reached an impressive 104.
As the four unleashed their full might, their combat strength approached the hundred mark. If not for the fact that none of them had truly broken the hundred barrier, a purple cloud should have already gathered above their heads.
The four powerhouses attacked simultaneously, and Lu Hai Kong initially believed that it would take just an hour to conquer this Mysterious Gateway. However, to his surprise, the defense of this gateway was not much stronger than ordinary mysterious gateways. In an instant, they shattered the gateway before them.
"Pa!"
Accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, the mysterious gateway in front of Lu Hai Kong and his companions exploded into countless fragments.
Almost at the moment the gateway shattered, the immense Vitality and Fortune that had enveloped it soared into the sky, reaching the heavens.
This surge of Vitality and Fortune resembled a sharp sword, instantly slicing through the Blood Realm's originally scarlet sky.
Then, from the pierced sky, countless cracks spread, and in an instant, the entire world was engulfed in a sea of blood. The sky seemed to transform into a vast ocean of crimson.
The sight of the blood-red waves was awe-inspiring, and even Lu Hai Kong, who had destroyed the gateway, doubted himself upon witnessing this terrifying scene. He wondered if he had truly ended the transdimensional invasion or if he had inadvertently unleashed a demon.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Lu Hai Kong soon dispelled his doubts.
The blood waves gradually subsided, and blood-colored rain began to fall from the sky. As the blood rain fell, the crimson hue in the sky slowly faded.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong worried that the blood rain might cause secondary pollution to the ground, but after activating the Celestial Eye Technique, he found that this was not the case. Instead, he discovered that the blood rain not only did not pollute the ground but also had a purifying effect.
This was because the blood rain contained the Fortune and Vitality of the four Liao Xi Prefectures that had just soared into the sky. With this rain, the stolen Fortune and Vitality returned to nourish the devastated land.
Although the Fortune was less than a tenth of its original amount, the blood rain could not restore the four Liao Xi Prefectures to their former state or even revive their Vitality. Nevertheless, the remaining Fortune and Vitality of the four Liao Xi Prefectures had returned, and the blood-colored sky would fade. This transdimensional invasion was finally over.
"It's finally over!"
As the blood-red sky gradually faded, a relieved smile appeared on Lu Hai Kong's face.
At that very moment, a barrage of system notifications began to sound...
