Chapter 356: Heavenly Gate: Unleashing the Vast Sky! Cosmic Heavenly Dao!

Hum……

The massive void fissure trembled lightly, and deep within it, another fissure suddenly appeared.

From afar, the void fissure now resembled a huge, eerie eye, and the inner fissure looked like its pupil.

A tiny speck of light surfaced in the small fissure, then swiftly approached the large fissure.

The moment it burst from the fissure, terrifying void energy raged, and the entire cosmic space began to quake violently, as if overwhelmed.

"Old man, why aren't you coming out now to reason with them?"

Chu Yang curled his lip, recalling the scene when he once shattered cosmic space and Ji Lan appeared to persuade him.

Now, watching the void creatures about to collapse the whole space, Ji Lan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Even the Space Principal, now a high‑dimensional being, can be selective? Seven silhouettes in total, enveloped in purple‑black light, not humanoid, grotesquely formed, with stout hind limbs and comparatively slender forelimbs.

Seeing their sharp beaks, hard shells, and tiny eyes glimmering with eerie light, Chu Yang's SAN value plummeted wildly.

As they charged forward, their forelimbs kept flailing, speed increasing to the point of breaking free from space and time's constraints.

Chu Yang squinted, spread his arms, and the sound of dragon roars and elephant trumpets rang out.

Immediately, a void shadow a hundred zhang tall materialized behind Chu Yang, bearing a divine elephant, with a demon dragon coiled around his upper body.

The shadow resembled an Asura emerging from the abyss, yet its face was solemn and majestic, exuding authority without anger, like a Vajra Buddha.

Great Dragon Elephant Method!

This is a divine skill Chu Yang forged by combining his ultimate gene with the Buddhist and demonic cultivation techniques he had learned, based on the Dragon Elephant King Determination. At least in Chu Yang's view, the Great Dragon Elephant Method deserves the name of a divine skill! Chu Yang raised his hand in a void slap, and the shadow behind him moved as well; a demon dragon coiled around his arm, and the divine elephant leapt up, sweeping out like a massive hand of a mountain.

Where his palm passed, the cosmic space crumbled inch by inch, and the shell creatures that were darting between the void and the primary universe suddenly froze as if struck by a petrification spell.

"Bang!!!"

His palm struck down, the cosmic space erupted with a blast, and the seven void creatures, powerless to resist, were smashed to pieces by that single slap!

Strands of purple‑black energy drifted away, and the void fissure emitted a suction, as if trying to draw the energy back.

But Karl moved even faster; the pages of his ancient book fluttered, directly absorbing those purple‑black energies.

Chu Yang paused, then laughed, "Tsk… a hired hand actually wants to turn the tables?"

That Karl fellow actually tried to pit him against the void creatures, then reap the fisherman's profit himself! Chu Yang usually goes to great lengths to make others work for him, yet today he was treated as the hired hand! Meanwhile, beings across the universe felt a sudden chill of fear.

Where those void creatures passed, even the cosmic space could not bear the strain; their power was evident.

Yet Chu Yang killed all seven void creatures with a single slap, still chatting merrily.

The scene set many hearts ablaze, especially Earthlings, whose fervor was unstoppable; the whole Earth was enveloped by waves of cheers, soaring into the universe! Everyone shouted Chu Yang's name! At that moment, borders and nationalities mattered not; they only knew that the lone warrior battling the void, protecting the universe's greatest deity, was one of their own! ……

In front of the void fissure.

Karl gazed at the completely erased shadow world, inhaled deeply and said, "Chu Yang, you're alone—how many void creatures can you possibly stop?"

"You can try it yourself!"

Chu Yang gave a light step, and the sun and moon rose between the twins, the three holy true spirits manifested, his left hand wielded 【Feng Du】, his right hand 【Heavenly Gate】, his momentum soaring to the peak.

At the same time, a long spear bathed in holy light slowly coalesced above the entire void fissure.

Judgment!

It is also a divine skill founded on the ultimate gene, but without merging other techniques, embodying the ultimate algorithm.

Chu Yang was too lazy to study the algorithm, but he could copy it, directly transplanting the core algorithms of the Blazing Sun civilization and the Angelic civilization, and refining them through Pan Gu.

Judgment also combined the traits of solar flares and Heavenly Blade Judgment, its power many times greater than the sum of both! Simultaneously, the void fissure quivered wildly, spewing countless streams of light.

They were tens of thousands of massive void creatures, beetle‑shaped yet as large as spaceships, charging toward Chu Yang.

Where they passed, the cosmic space turned instantly to dust, a region becoming void in an instant! Invasion!

A full‑scale void invasion! And those massive "worms" are the vanguard clearing the way for the void's assault on the primary universe! Chu Yang suddenly extended a void hand, the Judgment holy spear descended, stirring a terrifying wave that enveloped a vast area, shattering several worms.

The ensuing scene gave Chu Yang further insight into the void's strangeness.

After those massive worms shattered, they turned into clumps of purple‑black energy that stayed condensed, then birthed more worms! These new worms were less than one percent the size of a beetle, but their numbers were enormous.

The original army of tens of thousands of worms swelled to hundreds of thousands in the blink of an eye!

"They're just cannon fodder..."

Chu Yang squinted, then turned back and said, "This is a cataclysm across the known universe; I will stop every void creature beyond the fourth‑generation divine body scope!"

"I will also suppress the void fissure!"

"The remaining void creatures, you handle them yourselves!"

"All members of the War Council, immediately form an allied force to cleanse the void creatures throughout the known universe!"

As the words fell, the Pan Gu computation cluster went into overdrive, its processing power soaring to the limit, countless spatial wormholes materialized, instantly devouring those worms.

Those worms will be randomly teleported to various regions of the known universe; Chu Yang already sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching the starry sky.

Thus he had no time to deal with this cannon fodder; moreover, the worms posed little threat to the major civilizations of the universe.

When all the worms were dispatched, the previously collapsed cosmic space began to re‑coalesce, slowly recovering.

This is a tug‑of‑war between the primary universe and the void, with both Chu Yang and the void creatures backed by external forces.

When the external forces vanish, the primary universe will begin to wrestle the void for territory.

Chu Yang didn't know whether this was an unseen cosmic rule or the work of Heavenly Dao, but he had no time to consider it.

Three streams of light shot out of the void fissure, leaving behind neat, smooth incisions in the space they passed.

They even ignored Karl's control, nearly splitting Karl in two.

Fortunately, Karl sensed the danger early, dodged in time, and escaped unharmed.

The void shadow behind Chu Yang, formed from the Great Dragon Elephant's concept, suddenly surged forward, confronting one of the figures. It was a gigantic worm of colossal size, besides its four limbs it bore two spear‑like sharp tentacles, and beside its razor‑toothed maw were a pair of spikes, looking ferociously terrifying.

Even the Great Dragon Elephant Body seemed somewhat small before it.

The Great Dragon Elephant Body struck with a palm, dragon and elephant roared, its might astounding, yet it only left a dented handprint on the worm's shell, failing to break its defense! "Dou Emperor!"

Chu Yang's gaze hardened; that worm's strength could truly rival a Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi world!

Not only that, the other two fellows' strength also reached this level.

These three void creatures are clearly not the strongest in the void, but they are stronger than the Five Dynasties Divine Body, no wonder Karl calls the void the ultimate terror!

Chu Yang knows that if he were not present, once the void descends, the entire known universe would become a furnace.

Facing three void creatures comparable to Dou Emperor‑level strength, and with the opponent's bizarre and unfathomable tactics, even Chu Yang feels some pressure.

Fortunately, the Great Dragon Elephant Dharma Body can hold back that worm; as long as Chu Yang can strike swiftly, he can defeat them one by one.

He turns his gaze to the other two void creatures; one of them looks even more terrifying, its torso a gigantic eye, violet light swirling within, and a tentacle dancing around the massive eye.

Chu Yang feels his SAN value is about to hit rock bottom…

The last one looks much more normal; at least it doesn't have an overly massive body, nor an excessively bizarre and terrifying appearance.

Yet the creature that always resembles a mantis, with a thin membrane wing on its back, its front limbs like sharp blades flashing a cold glint, its mouth filled with dense sharp teeth, and its carapace a dull yellow.

However, after leaving the void fissure, the mantis creature's carapace gradually lightens, becoming almost transparent.

Watching the void mantis suddenly vanish, and the vertical pupil of the void giant eye wildly gathers energy, Chu Yang can't help but frown.

"Trouble…"

He mutters, the Three Saint True Spirits enter his body, Heavenly Gate's white light flares, turning into an Imperial Decree.

The Lingxiao Treasure Hall materializes behind Chu Yang, a dragon robe envelops his whole body, and the sun and moon on his crown turn into Ziwei and Beidou.

He hurls Fengdu outward, the yellow underworld surges across the sky, a Ghost Gate appears behind the void giant eye, countless ghost hands reach out, trying to pull it in.

The energy condensed in the giant eye dissipates, emitting a sharp, teeth‑aching screech, then it waves its tentacles, grappling with those ghost hands.

As the Ghost Gate drags the void giant eye, Chu Yang, radiating supreme Imperial Might, holds the Imperial Decree aloft, his voice sounding as if from the Nine Heavens, like a massive bell.

"Kneel!"

This roar shatters the freshly re‑formed space in this world once more; the previously incorporeal void mantis suddenly appears, cracks forming across its carapace.

Yet the void mantis does not retreat; its wings flap, and in an instant it is right before Chu Yang! Two sharp mantis blades slash toward Chu Yang's head!

Void creatures lack higher intelligence and little capacity for thought; they only know hunting, devouring, and continual evolution.

Therefore Chu Yang's Imperial Might cannot intimidate them; this is the recklessness of the ignorant…

In Chu Yang's eyes seems a flowing galaxy, threads of anger flicker.

From afar, Karl watches all this and suddenly gets an idea…

How dare an ant challenge the emperor's might!

This thought startles him; he actually feels Chu Yang is a supreme emperor, and for a moment even feels an urge to bow and worship?

In fact, not only Karl, but all sentient beings watching the live broadcast across the known universe feel the same.

Even some with relatively weak willpower kneel before the virtual projection on the spot, trembling all over.

Feeling the faith power in his Ascension Talisman surge again, Chu Yang pauses, then immediately guesses the cause.

This is an unexpected joy! "Heavenly Dao, may I ask what is Haotian?"

Chu Yang slowly lifts his head, his voice like thunder.

The golden light of the Imperial Decree he drags behind him flares, the two ancient characters engraved on it turn into a dragon and a phoenix, directly shattering the void mantis's two front limbs!

Those two ancient characters are unmistakably "Haotian"! Heavenly Gate's ultimate release—Haotian! The void mantis seems unable to feel pain, emitting a harsh screech, then a spray of dense sharp teeth shoots from its mouth toward Chu Yang's face.

But the dragon‑phoenix drawn by the Haotian characters crushes those teeth, and finally the dragon and phoenix clash, the void mantis's body disintegrates on the spot! A tiny black hole forms above Chu Yang, and the entire universe begins to warp, as if the Heavenly Dao, displeased with Chu Yang's question, descends punishment.

"The big bang in Kilan's mouth was your doing, wasn't it?"

Chu Yang squints, "So the source of everything is a black hole, and the source of the black hole is the Heavenly Dao…"

"But since I'm here, your plan to restart the universe this way isn't very realistic!"

As his words finish, Chu Yang raises his right hand, his index finger lightly taps the ever‑expanding black hole.

The next moment, the agitation begins to quake violently, as if becoming unstable.

At the black hole's core, a white speck of light suddenly appears! The scene looks like an extreme auspicious sign, yet seems to contain ultimate destructive power.

Singularity!

This is a divine skill Chu Yang created by combining the Infinity Gem, the Ultimate Gene, and, in the Haotian state, the powers of Ziwei and Beidou.

However, this skill cannot be used in the Dou Qi world, because a singularity must rely on a black hole, and black holes only exist within a complete universal system.

But that is irrelevant, for Chu Yang forged the singularity skill solely to deal with the void.

The black hole still trembles violently, but this time it seems not due to its own instability, but two invisible forces vying for control.

Seeing the stalemate, the void giant eye on the other side shatters the Ghost Gate, and the void giant insect drives the Great Dragon Elephant Dharma Body back step by step.

Chu Yang snorts coldly, suddenly turns, his body surrounded by dragon‑phoenix auspice, and strides into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Reaching the deep hall, Chu Yang slowly sits upon the throne; the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall begins to quake violently, its terrifying position breaking through cosmic space, as if reaching another world.

Chu Yang gazes above the black hole, Imperial Might radiating, "In this Lingxiao Treasure Hall, I am Haotian!"

"The feeble Heavenly Dao dares to contend with Haotian?" (End of chapter)
