Chapter 1168: Heart

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as he saw Obscure Gate, Fang Yuan obtained a bunch of information from it. For example, speculations about the realm beyond Dao Ancestor!

That was to refine the entire universe and become the Lord of the Universe!

After all, the lifespan of a universe was extremely long. Furthermore, after it perished, a new one would form in the same place, seeming to be a series of reincarnations that never ended.

Refining a universe was extremely difficult, with Obscure Gate having not succeeded even after experiencing multiple births and deaths of this universe being a prime example. Fang Yuan had never met a Lord of the Universe in all his travels either.

However, it was also a path, a possibility!

“It’s only… this kind of reincarnation will break eventually. The Huaxia Universe is the best example. Regressing into void isn’t the same as the death of a universe but rather when it’s impossible to give birth to a new universe.”

Seeing how Obscure Gate and Three-Faced Key had become life-and-death enemies over the opportunity to refine the universe, Fang Yuan felt strange.

But naturally, he would not tell them about the information he had obtained.

“Go!”

Three-Faced Key continued approaching Obscure Gate without any energy fluctuations. The three vortexes fused into one and transformed into a giant key.

Obscure Gate’s response was incredibly imposing. Countless giant gate shadows appeared around it, acting as layers of barriers that seemed to contain the births and deaths of worlds within.

Even a few auras that were unique to the Outer Gods were swiftly approaching.

“Those are… the Outer God progeny of Obscure Gate. It’s summoning its progeny to fight!”

Fang Yuan sensed what was happening, and he naturally would not allow it to happen without interfering.

“Great Destruction God!”

He waved with his right hand. The three-headed, six-armed war machine appeared in space, breathing chaos, forming tides.

“Light of Universe!” the Great Destruction God roared as it slashed in all directions.

The power of five Dao Fruits even smashed the universe and chaos, and a few scenes emerged.

The saber beam ground the large mass of Black Mist, and it screamed agonizingly as it oozed large volumes of blood.

This was Black Mist. In addition, the Outer Gods in two other directions sustained heavy injuries. The aftermath of the attack wiped out every planet caught in it.

In a fight between the Outer Gods, the pain was unbearably hard to endure even for a universe!

Especially with the Great Destruction God!

With the power of five Dao Fruits coupled with the Great Destruction Dao Fruit, if it used all of its power, it could cause this universe to enter the phase of death, just like the last universe.

“Ordinary Outer Gods can’t even participate in this battle…”

After cleaning up the periphery, Fang Yuan immediately turned his attention to the center of the battlefield.

The silver key advanced forth and broke through many phantoms, but it could not reach the core of the universe where Obscure Gate was no matter how hard it tried.

“Makes sense… If Three-Faced Key were a match for Obscure Gate, then it wouldn’t have been repelled from the Heart of the Universe and allied with me!”

Fang Yuan nodded. The Great Destruction God roared, all three faces showed the expressions of rage, and six arms smashed down ferociously.

Rumble!

With an explosion that seemed to shatter the universe, the black gate phantoms crumbled one after another. The silver key advanced further and touched the true body of Obscure Gate.

The two most powerful Outer Gods of the universe started a battle of attrition.

“Looks like… Three-Faced Key also has a trump card that can deal with Obscure Gate. Of course, the prerequisite is being able to touch it…”

And now, with Fang Yuan’s help, it had undoubtedly fulfilled that prerequisite.

Before Fang Yuan’s eyes, cracks started appearing on the surface of the black gate, and it was actually crumbling bit by bit.

This incredible scene could only be explained by the fact that everything had a counter.

“However… merely the clone of Obscure Gate had almost killed me last time. Why is it so weak now?”

Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed. Suddenly, he saw that most of Obscure Gate had collapsed, revealing a black heart that was pulsing energetically, with blood vessels connecting it with the gate.

Fang Yuan had an ominous feeling as soon as the heart appeared. The pulsing of the heart seemed to merge with the fluctuations of the universe.

“No… Stop!”

Fang Yuan’s heart sank. A dream-like saber beam appeared, slashing at the silver key.

Ping!

The giant silver key split apart and reverted back to three silver vortexes once again. The furious psyche roar was like a wave. “What are you doing?”

“I should be the one asking that. You’re actually helping Obscure Gate refine the entire universe!” Fang Yuan returned the roar without restraint.

He finally made sense of it all. Although Obscure Gate was at the core of the universe and had experienced several of its births and deaths, it was unable to completely refine it and become the Lord of the Universe because it was too strong!

That unparalleled body was its biggest obstacle to refining the universe.

Even Obscure Gate could not do anything about it. The attack of Three-Faced Key at full force likewise did nothing.

Therefore, it had used the combined strength of Three-Faced Key and Fang Yuan to shatter its body. By implementing a ‘martial liberation1‘ tactic and using their attacks to cast off its body to unleash its full potential, it was able to comprehend the fluctuations of the universe and completely refine this universe!

“Obscure Gate is too strong… Strong to the extent that even it couldn’t kill itself. It could only rely on the combined strength of me and Three-Faced Key! No wonder it reacted so sluggishly to our attack…”

Thump! Thump! 

Thump! Thump! 

As Fang Yuan was enlightened, a powerful heartbeat suddenly sounded throughout the entire universe.

It belonged to the black heart inside Obscure Gate.

Most of it was exposed, and it was pulsing greedily and happily. Only a single blood vessel still connected it with the original gate.

“The core of Obscure Gate is the black heart. The outer gate is as much of a body as it is a restraint…”

Fang Yuan’s thoughts moved. Lights flashed in the void, and he obtained a lot of good things.

There were fragments of Obscure Gate’s body and Three-Faced Key’s as well. After all, he had struck it fiercely to stop it, and many pieces had fallen off.

These were all objects born in the Great Cosmological Abyss, and Fang Yuan was very interested in researching them.

Smack!

Before Three-Faced Key could react, the black heart suddenly jumped. The remaining blood vessel tore off, and what remained of the black gate instantly disintegrated.

The black heart’s aura also fell sharply, from the original five Dao Fruit power to three… two.

But at the same time, its pulsing became ever stronger. It seemed to be integrating with the universe and thoroughly grasping the fluctuations the universe produced!

“The birth and death of a universe all begin at the core point, and this point is here! It’s the Heart of the Universe!”

“By accommodating the Heart of the Universe at the core itself, you would naturally be able to override the consciousness of the universe and refine it to become the Lord of the Universe!”

How could Three-Faced Key just simply watch and allow the black heart to turn into nothingness and fuse with the Heart of the Universe?

With intense psyche fluctuations, it transformed into a silver spear and lunged at the heart.

Rumble!

The universe shook!

Many planets sent their world power that contained Chaos Qi. It transformed into an unrivaled force that smashed into the spear.

Astral magic could barely seal an Outer God by converging the power of many worlds in a galaxy!

But coinciding with the power of a universe, could you imagine how terrifying it was?

Regarding quantity, the power of a universe far exceeded that of Dao Ancestors. It was just that no one owned it, so it was viewed as merely a source of steady power. But after the Lord of the Universe came into existence, it immediately turned into a powerful weapon!

The silver spear burst apart in an instant and reformed into three silver vortexes that were half of as large.

“As expected… The Lord of the Universe can wield the power of the entire universe. Unfortunately, you’re still lacking one last bit!”

Fang Yuan no longer hesitated and attacked at full force with the Great Destruction Dao Fruit.

Galaxy-like saber light stretching across the starry sky suddenly cut into the Heart of the Universe.

With his interruption, Obscure Gate’s ‘martial liberation’ came a bit short, failing to fully succeed!

It had used the power of the universe to repel Three-Faced Key more so as intimidation than anything.

However, Fang Yuan’s resolve was as hard as steel. He did not even hesitate for a microsecond before attacking directly!

Poof! 

The void rumbled, and the black heart appeared. It now had a saber wound on its surface that was slowly leaking blood.

As the blood flowed out, the entire universe seemed to cry out and lament, as though it was the blood of the universe!

“As expected. It’s still in the process of fusing! But it’s very close to becoming the Lord of the Universe!” Fang Yuan’s spiritual will spread far and wide. “If you don’t want to become a slave or a subordinate, make your move!”

Rumble!

Many responses came. After all, this place was a universe of Outer Gods. While Obscure Gate and Three-Faced Key were the top two, there were a few slightly weaker ones as well.

Previously, Obscure Gate had spent multiple universe eras refining and failing, so the other Outer Gods had naturally not taken it seriously.

But this, there was a great chance of it succeeding, so they could not simply let it finish.

Suddenly!

Many projections appeared. Even the Elder Gods that keep to themselves started responding on one planet after another!

Could you wrap your head around the concept of dozens of Dao Ancestors attacking simultaneously?

Even the universe itself would quake under this union, much less a half-complete Lord of the Universe!

“Go!”

Naturally, the Outer Gods would not try to spare Fang Yuan. Even as Fang Yuan escaped, he still felt a lingering fear. “These Elder Gods and Outer Gods are all ruthless. They actually want to kill all three of us now that they felt threatened…”

Fang Yuan had always had some speculations about what the war in the Huaxia Universe had been like.

Now that he saw numerous Dao Ancestors joining forces, he knew.

“Obscure Gate is quite unlucky. Originally, its plan of ascending via martial liberation was a win or die scenario. But I interrupted it and attacked halfway during its ascension, causing it to become stuck at the level of half a Lord of the Universe. The Elder Gods and the Outer Gods then besieged it…”

Fang Yuan spread his aura, and the Great Destruction God curled up to protect Fang Yuan.

The next instant, terrifying rays of light exploded from the Heart of the Universe in every direction, destroying countless galaxies.

By the time the aftershocks passed, even the Great Destruction God was in tatters.

Fang Yuan also felt Obscure Gate’s aura of the death and the chaotic fight that ensued!
