Chapter 1690: with translation of chapter title

「You little brat are too much of a variable; originally I had long wanted to kill you to eliminate future trouble. 」

The God Clan Old Ancestor did not hide his killing intent toward Ye Zhangqing; ever since Ye Zhangqing burst onto the scene, the God Clan Old Ancestor has been keeping an eye on him.

Putting it this way, in the God Clan Old Ancestor's mind, Ye Zhangqing's threat surpasses anyone in the Haotu Shijie.

Including Yun Xiantai, who has reached the perfected Emperor Sovereign Realm.

After all, no matter how strong Yun Xiantai is, he is only at the Emperor Sovereign Realm; for the God Clan Old Ancestor to kill him is not too difficult.

But Ye Zhangqing is different; although his strength is far inferior to Yun Xiantai's, his superb Chúyì can win over a large number of strong individuals, and could even change the whole situation.

This is what the God Clan Old Ancestor fears most.

Looking at the extremely nervous Yun Xiantai, Hong Zun and the others, the God Clan Old Ancestor gave a light chuckle.

"But now it's no longer necessary."

Earlier the God Clan Old Ancestor had had murderous intent, but back then, once he made a move, it would likely expose the existence of the God Clan, so he had been hesitating.

Fortunately, although Ye Zhangqing is a variable, he hasn't really affected the overall situation.

And now, with everything ready, whether or not to kill Ye Zhangqing is no longer of much significance.

After all, the God Clan Old Ancestor's goal is merely to open the Xianmen, ascend to the Immortal Realm, and seek the immortality method that everyone dreams of.

So, after his words fell, the God Clan Old Ancestor no longer paid attention to Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong and the others, but turned his gaze toward the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.

Among those present, only those two could stand on equal footing with him and converse as equals.

Under the complex gazes of the two, the God Clan Old Ancestor smiled and said.

"With the Xianmen opened and the ascent to the Immortal Realm, we all have a chance to pursue the Great Dao of longevity; now, do you two still insist on defending the Haotu Shijie to the death?"

The God Clan Old Ancestor had no intention of directly attacking, and moreover, it wouldn't matter if others entered the Immortal Realm.

Anyway, no one knows exactly how the Great Dao of longevity works now, and after entering the Immortal Realm it will be every person for themselves according to their abilities.

Even if the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor were to enter the Immortal Realm, they might later become a source of assistance.

After all, regardless of the past, once they reach the Immortal Realm they will be old acquaintances, and facing the unknown Immortal Realm, they naturally feel a sense of closeness.

Upon hearing the God Clan Old Ancestor's words, this time both the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor fell into silence.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai and the others beside him had grim expressions, but they did not speak.

Sacrificing the Haotu Shijie to open the heavenly gate is obviously not what Yun Xiantai and the others want to see.

But given the current situation, what could they possibly stop?

Let alone the four Patriarch-level experts of the God Clan Old Ancestor, plus the numerous strong individuals of the three major forces: the God Clan, the Heavenly Clan, and the Huánggōng.

Not to mention that even the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor have fallen silent.

First, it's because of the intimidation from the God Clan Old Ancestor and his ilk; second, the so-called Immortal Realm is indeed too alluring.

With such an opportunity right before them, even Patriarch-level beings like the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor cannot refuse.

Faced with the current situation, Ye Zhangqing, meeting Yun Xiantai's gaze, nodded helplessly.

Now, opening the Xianmen has become an unstoppable trend, and everyone can only resign themselves to it.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai looked toward the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, including the God Clan Old Ancestor and others, and said.

"The Xianmen may be opened, but no one from the Haotu Shijie may be harmed."

Upon hearing that, the God Clan Old Ancestor laughed and said.

"I only need the Heavenly Dao Power; everything else is useless to me."

The God Clan Old Ancestor seemed to have anticipated this outcome all along, and readily agreed.

Seeing this, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor also chose to acquiesce; seeing that no one objected further, the God Clan Old Ancestor immediately continued.

"Since none of you have any objections, let's begin."

The method to open the Xianmen has long been mastered by the God Clan: first, gather the blood‑ sacrificial power generated from the entire demon clan, including the demon clan's old ancestor, into one place.

Immediately, the God Clan Old Ancestor formed seals with both hands; the thick blood‑qi of the entire demon clan instantly dyed the heavens a bloody red.

"Everyone, help me."

With such a tremendous amount of energy, even though the God Clan Old Ancestor is at the Patriarch level, relying solely on his own strength is still insufficient.

Upon hearing the God Clan Old Ancestor's words, all the Patriarch-level beings present, including the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, chose to act.

Seeing the Patriarch-level experts join forces, Yun Xiantai and the others had complex expressions.

After all, the condition for opening the Xianmen is to sacrifice the Haotu Shijie.

"Old ancestor, the trend is unstoppable."

Seeing Yun Xiantai like this, Ye Zhangqing spoke softly; hearing that, Yun Xiantai nodded helplessly.

"I know."

Yun Xiantai naturally knows that now it's impossible to change things; the Haotu Shijie cannot be preserved, and in the future they may have to seek a new world.

Even if they feel unwilling in their hearts, there is nothing they can do.

As the demon clan's massive energy erupted fully under the God Clan Old Ancestor's seal, a bloody gateway gradually formed in the sky.

Accompanying the appearance of the bloody gateway, the God Clan Old Ancestor's aura surged and he let out a loud shout.

"Fall."

Immediately, the Haotu Shijie's Heavenly Dao Power, as if pulled by something, suddenly rushed wildly toward the bloody gateway.

The vast Heavenly Dao Power continuously poured into the bloody gateway.

As the Heavenly Dao Power was infused, the bloody gateway changed from blood‑red to purple‑gold.

At the same time, everyone could clearly feel that the Haotu Shijie's Heavenly Dao Power was rapidly disappearing.

Without the protection of the Heavenly Dao Power, the Haotu Shijie will soon decline; in not too long it will become completely a dead land, a realm of death.

But for now, no one cares how the Haotu Shijie fares; everyone's eyes are fixed on the Xianmen, which is constantly changing and faintly exuding a mysterious aura.

As the Xianmen gradually took shape, the God Clan Old Ancestor, who had always appeared as calm as an ancient well, could not help but reveal a hint of excitement in his eyes.

This is the result of his God Clan having expended the efforts of who knows how many generations, pursuing bit by bit.

From initially knowing nothing, to later slowly gathering clues, like a jigsaw puzzle, they pieced together the existence of the Immortal Realm bit by bit.

Since the God Clan decided to begin searching for the so-called Immortal Realm, they have expended who knows how much effort.

Now, all these efforts have finally borne fruit; they have finally opened the gate to the Immortal Realm.

Faced with this result, even the God Clan Old Ancestor could not help but feel stirred in his heart.

After all, this is what the God Clan has been seeking all along.

Watching the Xianmen gradually grow larger and become more substantial, the God Clan Old Ancestor couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Success, the Xianmen has finally been achieved; the Path of Longevity is within reach, and now we too have a chance to pursue longevity."

The other side of this gate is the Immortal Realm that possesses the method of longevity.
