Chapter 141: The Gate Opens! A War Saint as the Barrier? Ten Deaths, No Life?

Rows of brand‑new golden characters wildly flood Su Ming's vision.

【Current Grievance Value】: /

【Karma Overview】: This item was originally a mortal artifact, later bore the 【Rebel】 of one hundred thousand Shu soldiers, and also witnessed the 【Prison】 of the ancient Sage of Wisdom! Upon it, the perpetual victory of the White‑Robe General is stained, and the timeless maxim of Mr. Wolong is engraved!

【Annotation】: In the deadly battle I looked toward my homeland, yet only saw my homeland handing me a knife! Since loyalty has been cast aside like a worn shoe, let this boundless hatred become an everlasting nightmare for you! What Liang has learned all his life is merely the eight characters 【Quietude cultivates the self, Frugality nurtures virtue】! Yet, the Mandate of Heaven does not permit it, and time waits for no one!

"Sss!"

Su Ming could no longer hold back, inhaling a breath of cold air.

【Divine Ingenious Calculation】!

【Wuhou Eight Formation】!

The two newly added abilities are terrifying as this.

He has personally witnessed how despair‑inducing that formation diagram's operation can be.

"It fused two unsatisfied intents, yet it's still 【Legendary】 level?"

"If this thing were upgraded to 【Myth】, what sort of scene would that be?"

Su Ming's eyes burned, unable to imagine.

Then, he turned his gaze to another object.

That ancient‑styled wooden statue.

【Name】: Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse

【Quality】: Legendary

【Function 1·Self‑Moving】: This item requires no energy, can walk on its own, traveling a thousand li a day, traversing mountains and valleys as if on flat ground.

【Function 2·Divine Craft】: Can devour metal, wood and other materials, self‑replicate to form 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】! Limit 9,999 units!

【Function 3·Boundless】: Each 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】 contains an independent space, capable of storing vast supplies.

!!!

Su Ming only felt his brain freeze for an instant.

Then, ecstasy burst through his chest.

This thing is far more than a mere logistical tool.

A self‑replicating mobile space warehouse!

Moreover, unlike the 【Dimensional Reduction Warehouse】, it is not limited to storing only items that are artifacts!

What does this mean?

Su Ming closed his eyes.

A steel torrent formed by the 【Divine Demon Legion】.

Behind him trailed 9,999 tireless Wooden Ox and Flowing Horses, bearing mountain‑like supplies, crushing across the myriad heavens and realms.

Fighting while requisitioning supplies!

I come!

I see!

I conquer!

"And moreover..."

"This 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】 can be placed into the 【Dimensional Reduction Warehouse】..."

That means...

Infinite nesting dolls!

Those daily supplies, etc., can first be placed into the 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】!

Then put the 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】 into the 【Dimensional Reduction Warehouse】!

If one were to play even more perverse...

Directly place a 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】 inside another 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】!

That's absurd!

"Chancellor, this gift is truly too heavy."

Su Ming inhaled deeply, safely stowing the 【Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse】.

He once again faced the quieting path on the left, bowing slightly with solemnity.

Then, he slowly stood upright.

His gaze, like a drawn weapon, shot toward the right—

the path shrouded by endless blood‑red gale!

The Chancellor's words before vanishing still echo in his ears.

【Righteousness】 thin clouds in the sky, 【Anger】 can split the earth.

It is a reminder.

It is also a warning.

It is also an expectation.

That is not the 【rebellion】 that can be moved by loyalty.

Nor is it the 【prison】 that can be resolved with wit.

It is pure, absolute, a 【gate】 leading to a dead end!

Boom!

On the blood‑colored path, a fierce wind howls, and the murderous aura intensifies.

Faintly, a blue dragon's roar and a black tiger's snarl reverberate, shaking the soul!

The Chancellor's parting words linger in the ear.

Su Ming hoists the 【Han】 banner that fuses two wills.

"As a junior, I naturally must go meet…"

"Even if it means ten deaths with no life!"

Inside Jin Se Tea Garden.

The atmosphere is deathly silent; a needle drop can be heard.

Jing Zhe, Gu Yu and more than ten other women sit restlessly, their gazes fixed on the figure in the corner.

There, Ling Xi's eyes are tightly shut, her complexion pallid, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

Since Su Ming left.

Her spirit seemed dragged into that unseen battlefield for mortals, enduring unimaginable torment.

Suddenly.

"Huh…"

A sigh like a weight lifted shatters the dead silence.

Everyone's hearts tighten, and they look up sharply.

They see Ling Xi's furrowed brows slowly relax.

On that once‑bloodless pretty face, a hint of rosiness finally returns.

"Ling Xi?!"

Jing Zhe can no longer hold back, darts forward in a single step, her voice full of urgency.

"Mr. Su…"

Ling Xi slowly opens her eyes.

Though those eyes remain weary, they now hold a glimmer of post‑calamity clarity.

She shakes her head, her voice a bit weak, yet tinged with uncontainable joy.

"That blood‑stained battlefield… has dispersed."

"The resentment of one hundred thousand Shu soldiers has been quelled."

"The starry sky that trapped everything, the reversed Eight Formation Diagram… has also vanished."

She looks at everyone, her voice now carrying a note of certainty.

"Mr. Su… he moves very steadily!"

What?!

Inside the tea house, everything falls silent in an instant.

Everyone's mind goes blank, shocked by the news.

It succeeded?!

The one Ling Xi prophesied as 【rebellion】 and 【prison】.

A death trap even the ancient heroic souls could not break free from.

And Mr. Su… broke it?!

This is Purity!

"I knew it! I knew he could!"

Jing Zhe's excited, rosy face swings a fierce fist.

In those eyes, the flame of adoration nearly erupts.

The other women also burst into incredulous ecstasy.

Their king truly is omnipotent!

However.

The smile lasts only a few seconds.

A fear exploding from deep within the soul completely freezes everyone!

It is a feeling.

As if an ancient beast that slept for millennia slowly opened its eyes.

Heart palpitations!

Boom—!

Suddenly, an anomaly erupts skyward.

Teacups, tables, chairs, the ground—all tremble together.

"An earthquake?!"

Everyone's faces turn pale in shock, rushing toward the window.

The next second.

The scene that floods their eyes makes them feel as if they've fallen into an ice cavern.

Only the sky in the direction of Wuhou Shrine.

The firmament was like a painting eroded by time to a fragile state, suddenly torn open in the middle.

On the left side of the fissure was an arrogant azure qi that looked down on all living beings.

Within it, the Azure Dragon coiled, its dragon roars echoing, its imposing pressure made all things yearn to submit!

On the right side of the fissure was a ferocious, unrivaled ink‑black hue.

Within it, a black tiger roared, thunder rolled, and its fury made the surroundings shudder!

Azure!

Black!

The two ultimate auras collided and tore wildly above the firmament!

"Ah—!!!"

A mournful scream sounded from behind.

Everyone turned around abruptly.

Only Ling Xi's eyes were wide open, her pupils reflecting the sky of azure and black.

Her seven orifices were slowly oozing fresh blood!

She raised her hand, trembling as she pointed to the sky, her voice shattered.

"Gate... Gate has opened..."

"Blood..."

"Black blood..."

"Their eyes... are bleeding!!!"
