Chapter 407 - 249: Black and White Impermanence

Chapter 407: Chapter 249: Black and White Impermanence

"Who goes there?" the two figures in black and white asked, their voices eerie.

Su Xing stared at the eight characters above their heads, his mind going blank for a second. Because he often read all sorts of books, he had some knowledge of the myths from his past life and immediately recognized that those eight characters were taken from the Black and White Impermanence.

Although the Blue Star Xia Country was extremely similar to the nation from his past life, the real-world existence of the Extraordinary meant Su Xing had rarely heard any myths. He never expected to run into two guys calling themselves Black and White Impermanence. ’Could they really have some connection? Perhaps they’re members of some ancient race?’

"Su?"

The two Dragon Gate Elders were stunned when Su Xing suddenly appeared. Then, they said anxiously,

"Go, quickly!"

"You are an honored guest of Dragon Gate! You absolutely cannot be harmed here!"

As a traditional sect, Dragon Gate placed immense importance on such matters. As long as you earned their recognition, a sect like this would almost never harm you. Furthermore, Su Xing had been in the spotlight at Dragon Gate for the past two days. As Dragon Gate Elders who had also been to Desperate Gorge, they naturally understood Su Xing’s importance.

Therefore, they urged Su Xing to retreat without a moment’s hesitation. Even if the two of them were to die a horrible death on the spot, with Su Xing’s talent, he could one day help Ao Lin or other members of Dragon Gate restore the sect to its former glory, should he remember the kindness Dragon Gate showed him.

"Hahaha! Now that you’re here, do you really think you can leave?!"

"Enough with your cheap theatrics!"

...

Treasure Pavilion.

Qin Mo had been focused on hammering iron, blow by blow. When a sudden, massive explosion sounded from outside the Dragon Gate, he abruptly stopped his hammer. A long moment later, hearing the sounds of battle from outside, he slowly let out a breath.

’What was bound to happen has happened.’

’I never thought what I did back then would lead to all this.’

’So be it... I’ll go and meet him.’

As he spoke, he looked down at the longsword in his hand. The blade was already emitting the silver glow of a Grade A magical artifact, but Qin Mo resolutely put down his hammer. As his body tensed to move forward, he was shocked to discover that the space around him had been locked at some point, preventing him from teleporting.

"..."

’So they intend to wipe everyone out. If I had hidden somewhere outside Dragon Gate, I probably wouldn’t have been able to protect these guys. Looks like I’ll have to discuss this with those two old geezers.’

’However...’

’First, I’ll chase them off.’

With that, he set down his hammer. He didn’t spare a glance as the sword beneath him rapidly cooled and shattered, simply turning and walking outside.

...

「Elsewhere.」

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted.

Everyone in the area realized something had happened at Dragon Gate.

Yao Yixiao immediately tried to cross space to get to Dragon Gate. Only by arriving at the earliest possible moment could he prevent greater losses. However, just as he activated his power, he found that the space before him did not part as it usually did. Instead, it remained stubbornly unbreakable.

"..."

Yao Yixiao realized the gravity of the situation. He didn’t say anything, just stood there as if in a daze.

Seeing his expression, Lin Tianhan was a little surprised that someone with Yao Yixiao’s carefree personality could be so scared. But he didn’t dwell on it, and moved to tear open the space in front of him—only to find himself in the exact same predicament as Yao Yixiao.

"..."

"Everyone, something big is about to happen," Lin Tianhan said gravely. "This wasn’t the case when we arrived. It’s obviously something the enemy did after entering Dragon Gate. But... could they also possess a Divine Artifact like the Dragon-locking Pillar? Otherwise, how could they lock down the space?"

"What’s happening?!"

Ao Lin still hadn’t quite snapped out of it. Hearing Lin Tianhan’s words, he just looked dazed, his reaction a little slow. But he quickly forced himself to focus and immediately understood what Lin Tianhan was saying.

He saw that Li Longxuan, who was standing to the side, had also tried and failed to tear open the space. Not even Li Longxuan could do it. Although this was just his clone—and a very weak one at that—Li Longxuan in this state was still incredibly formidable. After all, he was an existence who had already grasped the Source Essence with one hand.

Yet even he couldn’t tear open the space here. It was as if the entire Dragon Gate Secret Realm had been turned into a giant iron box, and none of them could tear it open to see the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, any of them could have torn open this iron box, traveled through the void outside, and then torn through the box again from the other side to reappear in a region of the normal world. This was the principle of spatial teleportation.

But now, this iron box had become incredibly tough, making it difficult to tear open, let alone travel through the void. This caused the expressions of everyone present to turn grim.

"How far are we from Dragon Gate?" Yao Yixiao asked.

"...Twenty or thirty kilometers, maybe," Ao Lin said, sounding unsure. He had never paid attention to such things, because for him, any distance was just a few spatial teleports away.

But now that space was sealed—a seal that even suppressed their top speed—it meant they could only run to Dragon Gate. There was no telling how much time that would take, or what might happen to Dragon Gate in the interim.

"Let’s get moving."

Li Longxuan glanced in the direction of Dragon Gate and sighed softly. His body had already begun to flicker, a clear sign that it was about to dissipate.
