“Insignificant ants, lowly worms, you dare to attempt to break this Venerable One's Soul Sealing…”

“Be annihilated by this Venerable One!”

Dark waves surged in Li Yun's mental world, and a voice filled with immense terror echoed in Li Yun's mind.

It was clearly visible.

A finger emitting chilling demonic intent and terrifying power pointed towards Li Yun's mental core.

It was as disdainful as trying to poke an ant to death.

Yet, Li Yun was completely powerless to resist.

Li Yun was terrified, utterly horrified.

Facing such immense terror, let alone him being merely at Soaring Sky Realm first level, even if he had become a Dao Seed Realm expert like Ding Bosheng, he would likely be helpless, only able to wait for death.

However, amidst the life-or-death crisis.

Li Yun still forced himself to remain calm.

He was gambling!

He was gambling that the Gate of Myriad Wonders would not allow this strange power to run rampant before it.

As expected!

Li Yun gambled correctly.

It was at this critical moment, at the instant of life and death, that the Gate of Myriad Wonders moved.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders, like a majestic heavenly gate towering above all things in the world, suddenly trembled, erupting with an indescribable light.

The originally illusory gateway, at this moment, appeared incredibly real.

It slightly sank downwards.

With just this one movement, the dark waves surging into Li Yun's mind strangely solidified.

Including that dark finger representing immense terror.

Everything stopped moving.

About two seconds later, a powerful suction force began to emerge from the Gate of Myriad Wonders, forcefully drawing the dark waves into the gateway.

Bang!

That dark finger representing immense terror also shattered.

It could no longer point towards Li Yun's mental core.

Li Yun's pressure instantly vanished, replaced by ecstasy.

“I gambled correctly!”

“I really gambled correctly!”

“The Gate of Myriad Wonders is truly awesome…”

Li Yun couldn't help but let out an excited roar in his heart, the Ancestors of his previous life were still awesome. In the face of the classics left by the Ancestors, all demons and monsters were but fleeting clouds.

However, very quickly.

Li Yun felt an even more violent and chilling power surge in again through his hands.

And it was accompanied by an angry roar that shook his mind, almost shattering his mental core directly.

“Bastard!”

“What is this thing, daring to devour this Venerable One's power and oppose this Venerable One, do you know what kind of existence this Venerable One is?”

“Die for this Venerable One…”

Terrifying waves reappeared in Li Yun's mind. This time, it was no longer a dark finger, but almost a complete giant demon figure. Its face was unclear, its existence was unclear.

He only knew that this figure, from top to bottom, exuded a violent demonic intent, and every wisp of its aura carried indescribable terror.

Li Yun was instantly numb.

There was still more?

Even more terrifying, as soon as this giant demon figure appeared, it was able to break free from the suppression of the Gate of Myriad Wonders and actively threw a punch at the Gate of Myriad Wonders, attempting to shatter it.

And the Gate of Myriad Wonders suddenly descended to resist the demon figure, but a slight tremor subtly appeared.

At this moment.

Li Yun was utterly terrified.

He vaguely understood that it wasn't that the Gate of Myriad Wonders wasn't powerful, but that his Gate of Myriad Wonders hadn't truly grown completely yet.

If this continued.

It was possible that his Gate of Myriad Wonders might truly be no match for this terrifying demon figure. If it were truly shattered, would he still have a way to survive?

At this moment.

Li Yun dared not think about anything, nor dared to just stare blankly.

He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

He simply began to recite the entire Tao Te Ching on the spot.

“The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao, the name that can be named is not the eternal name…”

Li Yun didn't know why he was reciting the Tao Te Ching, but it was the only thing he could do at this moment.

In his opinion.

Since the Gate of Myriad Wonders originated from the Tao Te Ching, he would just recite the scripture according to the original method. Perhaps this could enhance the power of the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

Interestingly.

This was indeed like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

As soon as the scripture was recited.

System prompts surged.

Not only did Martial Dao comprehension points begin to increase at a rate of 100 million per second, but his own Dao charm also continuously increased. And when these various Dao charms were formed, they were all poured into the Gate of Myriad Wonders in his mind.

With the blessing of Dao charm.

The power of the Gate of Myriad Wonders indeed increased. The trembling that seemed unable to withstand the giant demon figure's attack quickly disappeared.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders not only withstood the giant demon figure's attack, but also began to devour the dark waves again.

“Damn it…”

“Abominable, the insignificant worm actually dares to oppose this Venerable One, this Venerable One will destroy you first…”

Seeing that repeated attacks could not shatter the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and instead his own power was being lost again, the giant demon figure became even more irritable.

And he seemed to have figured out where the source of the sudden surge in the Gate of Myriad Wonders' power came from.

He suddenly turned around.

He threw a punch at Li Yun's mental core.

“Destroy!”

At this, Li Yun was once again plunged into a terrifying crisis.

He was so scared that he couldn't even continue reciting the scripture.

He was frozen.

Fortunately, at this moment, in another instant of life and death, the Gate of Myriad Wonders suddenly descended, actually enveloping Li Yun's mental core directly within the gateway.

Bang!

The giant demon figure's punch did not land on Li Yun's mental core, but on the frame of the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

A heavy explosion shook the Gate of Myriad Wonders violently.

Cracks almost appeared on the door frame.

This shook Li Yun's mind into a trance, almost making him think he was already dead, his body and spirit destroyed.

But it also roused his spirit.

Coming back to his senses, he immediately began to recite the scripture again without a word.

What was amazing was that as he recited the scripture again, the shaking Gate of Myriad Wonders quickly regained stability, and he could no longer feel the fierce might of the demon figure.

Seeing this, Li Yun was even more encouraged.

The entire Tao Te Ching was recited more and more continuously, empowering the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and once again launching a fierce devouring of the dark waves.

The demon figure was so enraged that he couldn't stop stomping his feet and cursing.

Also at this moment.

The God Tree suddenly moved violently. The God Tree, which was countless thousands of feet tall, suddenly began to show faint green light from its roots, rushing upwards along the trunk.

Clusters of black aura were actually expelled from the trunk by the green light, and then forcefully sucked into the Gate of Myriad Wonders through Li Yun's hands.

“No—”

“Damn scoundrel, you actually managed to break free. All of you just wait, this Venerable One will truly descend upon the Heavenly Ancient Continent sooner or later, and then all of you will die!”

The demon figure roared frantically.

He fiercely struck the Gate of Myriad Wonders several times in succession. Seeing that he indeed could not do anything to the Gate of Myriad Wonders, he reluctantly retreated from Li Yun's mind with hatred.

He rolled up a thick black smoke from the God Tree, turned into a dark stream of light, and shot towards the sky.

As the black light disappeared.

The God Tree also completely erupted with dense green light. The huge tree body swayed incessantly, and an excited emotion of breaking free quickly spread throughout the entire Myriad Green Mountain…
