Chapter 652 - 444: Upper Realm

The Ascension Gate is within reach, yet it seems as if it is as distant as the horizon.

Sunlight Qianyu flew toward the Ascension Gate, but found that the distance between herself and the gate did not shorten quickly, instead, it remained at a not-too-close yet not-too-far range!

"What is going on?"

She frowned slightly.

Seeing this, several powerful beings observing sighed:

"It appears she does not have the approval of the Ascension Gate!"

"Indeed."

In matters as sacred as ascension, it indeed does not pay to harbor any crooked thoughts!

Otherwise, even as the victor, one still cannot ascend!

However!

Lin Lang saw the scene and simply smiled faintly:

"The Ascension Gate? Merely a gateway, how dare it question my decision?"

The tone was outrageously grand!

It made listeners tremble with fear:

"After all, the Ascension Gate is the passage to the Upper Realm, how can he be so disrespectful to the Upper Realm?!"

And in the next moment!

The aura around Lin Lang surged, releasing terrifying Spiritual Power!

The expressions of several powerful beings changed dramatically, and while they channeled their energy to resist the residual power, they exclaimed:

"Is he planning to conquer the Ascension Gate by force?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"Too arrogant!"

Their thoughts were correct.

But not completely.

Lin Lang indeed wanted to place his personal will above the Ascension Gate, but he didn’t need to resort to threats or bribes!

Because at this moment, he had awakened the way of ascension—

He was originally the master of the Ascension Gate!

The power Lin Lang released was quickly sensed by the Ascension Gate!

Boom!

The Ascension Gate shook violently!

Releasing a sacred and magnificent aura that filled the entire world!

"Not good! The Ascension Gate is enraged!"

The powerful beings cried out!

Not just them!

Even the people watching from the ground were shocked, thinking that Lin Lang’s disrespectful act had angered the Ascension Gate!

And now!

This terrifying artifact from the mysterious Upper Realm was about to unleash its fury!

And this!

What kind of catastrophic disaster would it bring to the fragile Earth, and the life upon it?!

But at this moment!

Lin Lang’s Divine Sense transmitted a message into Sunlight Qianyu’s mind:

"It’s okay now, go ahead."

"Ah? What?"

Sunlight Qianyu was startled by the unusual reaction of the Ascension Gate just now!

Now hearing Lin Lang’s words, she was momentarily stunned, but in the end, she chose unconditional trust in Lin Lang and flew toward the Ascension Gate!

Indeed!

This time!

She smoothly arrived before the Ascension Gate, just needing to lift her hand to touch this lifelong dream of countless cultivators!

She took a deep breath and her fingertips touched the gate.

Click!

A slight sound came from behind the gate!

The next moment!

The gate slowly opened inward!

A dazzling light seeped out from it!

...

"The gate... opened!"

Several powerful beings were dumbfounded!

Unexpectedly, Lin Lang’s "threat" to the Ascension Gate really had an effect!

The Ascension Gate indeed accepted Sunlight Qianyu, willing to take her to the Upper Realm!

"Oh my! Someone is truly ascending! This is unbelievable!"

"Ah! Being able to witness this with my own eyes, I could die without regret!"

"Is that the road to the Upper Realm? What kind of existence is the Upper Realm?"

At this moment!

The whole world, countless people, were watching.

They all tried hard to extend their Divine Sense toward the Ascension Gate, wishing to see what kind of world lies beyond that gate!

Unfortunately!

Even though a few people’s Divine Sense could indeed reach tens of thousands of miles high, the infinite majesty released by the Ascension Gate coldly and decisively shattered all approaching Divine Sense!

Making it impossible for them to perceive the world behind the gate!

Yet despite this, they still advanced one after another, their Divine Sense like waves crashing ceaselessly!

Just a glance!

Even if only a glance!

...

But such problems do not exist for Lin Lang.

His Divine Sense could easily pass through the Ascension Gate, reaching the place countless people dream of.

Under his Divine Sense perception, the world behind the gate was laid out clearly—

"Behind the gate is an ancient altar."

"Sitting lonely in a desolate mountain range."

"Spiritual Qi, Spiritual Qi so abundant to the extreme."

"And, incredibly powerful beings..."
