Everyone could only make out that five stone gates suddenly rose out of the ground after the sacrificial offerings exploded into a mist of blood in the pitch-black night. The crimson mist fell onto the stone gates. The once dull and obscure patterns on the stone gates suddenly seemed rejuvenated, as if they had come to life. A crimson hue began to emanate from the stone gates. The radiant light converged at the peak of Mount Kransbay. The sixth stone gate emerged slowly beneath Chu Qitian's feet. It was like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing and devouring all living creatures. Before their eyes, the glow grew increasingly brighter.
The sixth stone gate was slowly opening as well. However, the speed noticeably decreased when the stone gate was opened halfway. The crimson pillar of light where the five altars also began to dim. Upon seeing the situation, Chu Qitian issued another command.
“The flame is dim. Make sure it keeps on burning.”
After receiving the command, the second batch of fifty martial arts geniuses was sent to the altar. Just like the previous hundred people, these fifty martial artists also exploded into a mist of blood in the blink of an eye. Their flesh and soul were used as fuel to pour onto Sky Gate Formation. If Sky Gate Formation could be described as a massive furnace, the martial artists would be the sparks.
They burned with passion, devoted their souls, and sacrificed everything to welcome the arrival of their master.
Of course, no one willingly embraced death. They were all poor souls enslaved by others. However, what use was there to pity them? Someone once tried to save them from the depths of despair, but in the end, the person was forced to perish under the nuclear explosion.
One could only conclude that people had brought this on themselves when they had been reduced to serving as mere sacrifice fodder. The sacrificial ceremony continued, but the radiance of the Sky Gate Formation had already spread far and wide, reaching tens of thousands of miles.
Half of China could already see a crimson glow emanating from Kransbay. Mochizuki Kawa, Japan's Sword God, was stationed at the foot of Mount Kransbay. He intently watched everything that unfolded before him with eyes full of devotion.
He only felt immensely astonished. Someone next to Mochizuki Kawa asked anxiously, “Sword God, do you think Master will succeed? Can Sky Gate truly be opened?”
Mochizuki Kawa shook his head, as he had no inkling either. All he could do was stand guard at the foot of Mount Kransbay, preventing anyone from causing trouble. However, as they were conversing, several whooshing sounds echoed from the darkness suddenly. Mochizuki Kawa had a keen perception and noticed something unusual right away.
“Who is it?”
Mochizuki Kawa bellowed. He swiftly unsheathed his long sword. With a resounding clanging sound, his long sword struck a dark figure, instantly sending it flying dozens of meters away. At the same time, three figures came to a halt here as Mochizuki Kawa obstructed their way. The moonlight of the dark night fell upon the land. Mochizuki Kawa got a clear view of the other parties' facial features under the moonlight. They were Ye Qingtian, Carlo, and Aaron.
“It's you guys! Let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to die, leave now. Otherwise, Master will ensure you guys die terrible deaths!”
When Mochizuki Kawa saw who they were, his expression turned icy cold. The overwhelming murderous intent and threat in his voice were evident. Long before the activation of Sky Gate Formation, they had already received a resolute command that no living creature was to enter Kransbay alive. Moreover, Ye Qingtian, who was a fugitive, was the one who appeared before them! Ye Qingtian arched a brow.
“Master? Mochizuki Kawa, it seems you've also been enslaved, huh? I hope you can come to your senses and let us in. Otherwise, if those demons succeed in their schemes, not only will Japan be affected, but the entire world will be destroyed in an instant!” he urged urgently.
Carlo and Aaron were also trying to persuade him. They were all pitiful people being manipulated by others, so if it were possible, Ye Qingtian naturally didn't want to engage in a battle with them.
“Shut up! With Master's presence, he will make everyone in this world more powerful and make Japan even stronger! You have quite the nerve to dare to slander Master! In that case, we naturally cannot let you guys live!”
After going through the trials at Dragon Gate, Mochizuki Kawa had already changed significantly. For them, Chu Tianqi's command was undoubtedly a sacred decree and not to be defied. Therefore, without further ado, Mochizuki Kawa immediately started attacking them. He unsheathed his divine sword and executed Mochizuki Sword Technique. He started fighting with Ye Qingtian and the others.
