Age of Evolution

Chapter 593: Chapter 594: Breaking Through the Heavenly Gate Again!

As a New World Warrior, one might have heard about many things related to the Original World and know about the concept of wormholes, yet very few people have actually witnessed the opening of a wormhole, or seen someone from the Original World.

So, when the wormhole opened, nearly everyone was astounded.

A flicker of heavenly light, and a vehicle from the Original World appeared.

A pair of azure Barbarian Bulls pulled a splendidly decorated carriage; it was not a modern car or electric vehicle, but an old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage!

The carriage was made of the most luxurious materials, at a glance, one could perceive the value of the vehicle.

It probably worth more than a typical Starship Battleship!

Because many of the materials that made up the carriage were unfamiliar to them.

Compared to the carriage, what was more eye-catching were the azure oxen pulling it.

Because they were actually two Advanced Galaxy Beasts in the Star Domain Stage!

Advanced Galaxy Beasts in the Star Domain Stage could already transform into human form, yet these two azure bulls were still pulling the carriage!

To have World Kings pull a carriage, such extravagance immediately left everyone in awe.

A young man of fair complexion was driving the carriage, waving a colorful whip in his hand, urging the Barbarian Bulls to move forward.

The young man seemed to be a Tier Nine Star System, but his presence exerted a formidable force that appeared to be equivalent to that of a typical World King!

The carriage emerged from the void to the mid-center of the New World Warriors, who automatically made a space available for the guests from the Original World.

“Elder, we have arrived.”

The young man stepped out of the carriage and respectfully addressed someone inside it.

After about a minute, the carriage curtain was lifted and two people descended successively.

The one in front was Ke Jianglong, a World King Powerhouse from the Sorcerer Empire. Many people could recognize him, even though he had already left for the Original World over a hundred years ago, somehow he had reappeared.

When Ke Jianglong appeared, many people realized that he had come to pick up his son.

Following Ke Jianglong, another World King powerhouse attracted everyone’s attention.

The man had a hawk-like nose and thin lips, cold glimmers flashed in his narrow eyes as they slightly opened and closed. The aura he exuded was so imposing that it dwarfed everyone else present. Even Ke Jianglong, who was considered a top World King in the New World, seemed much inferior beside him.

“Quasi-eternal!”

A Domain King who knew some information about the Original World suddenly spoke.

Between the peak of World King and the Longevity Realm, there was a particular state called Quasi-eternal, where one had taken the World King stage to its limit but had not yet reached the Longevity Realm.

Such a stage far exceeded the World King, but had not yet truly reached the Longevity Realm—it was akin to having one foot past the threshold of the Longevity Realm.

Apart from the Longevity Realm Great God, Zhuiyue, whom they had seen when the Heavenly Gate was opened, this was the most powerful individual they had ever met!

Ke Jianglong first swept his gaze over the crowd present, and then spoke to the Quasi-eternal warrior beside him, “Elder Qin, this is the New World. It’s your first time here, isn’t it?”

Elder Qin snorted from his nostrils, “Indeed, it’s my first time here. I used to hear that everything in the New World is inferior, and now that I see it for myself, the rumor is true. The spiritual aura here is not even comparable to a washroom in the Original World. If not for your matters, I would never have come here to undergo such torment.”

“Yes, yes, I am really grateful for Elder Qin’s presence.”

“Call your son over. You should know that this time the clan has agreed to use a precious wormhole egg mainly because you said your son could get the first place in the Black Hole Stage. This is the key.”

“Rest assured, I have already confirmed it many times.”

After Ke Jianglong spoke, before he could make a call through the Dimensional Universe, his two sons had already arrived from afar.

“We pay our respects to Father!”

Both Ke Xiangdong and Ke Xiangnan bowed, to which Ke Jianglong waved his hand, “Don’t be courteous to me; quickly pay your respect to your Uncle Qin.”

“Hello, Uncle Qin!”

Both of them paid their respects to Elder Qin together.

“Your Uncle Qin is an elder of the Fire Kirin Clan and a super-powerful warrior in the Quasi-eternal Realm. Today, he has come mainly for Xiangnan’s matter. Xiangnan, are you ready?”

“Father, I’m all prepared. After nearly three hundred years of intense cultivation, I have finally reached the standard required for passing through the Heavenly Gate.”

Ke Jianglong laughed heartily, full of pride for his son.

Elder Qin glanced at Ke Xiangnan and nodded slightly, “In the Original World, there would be a lot of warriors in the Black Hole Stage who could pass the Heavenly Gate. But in the New World, it is indeed not easy to cultivate to the level of passing the Heavenly Gate under such conditions. Up to now, none of the Black Hole Stage warriors from any force have succeeded in passing the Heavenly Gate. That you have managed to come first for our Fire Kirin Clan is commendable. Once you arrive in the clan, you will be heavily rewarded.”

“Thank you, Uncle Qin. The younger generation will not disappoint your kindness.”

“Hmm, go ahead.”

Elder Qin, with Ke Jianglong accompanying him, came before the Heavenly Gate and sat in the best viewing spot, waiting for Ke Xiangnan to attempt to pass through the Heavenly Gate.

********

Ke Xiangnan tidied his clothes and walked past the group of warriors from the Black Hole Stage and Star System Stage.

He would soon leave the New World, and he wanted to present a grand sight one last time.

Upon seeing Ke Xiangnan approaching, many martial artists began to congratulate him.

Ke Xiangnan waved a hand, and the followers behind him immediately produced a large amount of red envelopes, each containing an equivalent card worth a million cosmic crystals.

As he walked along, he dispersed his wealth, having already given away billions in red envelopes.

Zhu Lingshan stood among the crowd. When Ke Xiangnan walked past her, she kept her mouth shut and said nothing, making her stand out from the crowd.

Ke Xiangnan too noticed this stunning woman. Congratulated by a beauty was more gratifying than being congratulated by those grotesque Galaxy Beasts. He was even prepared to give her a large red envelope, yet to his surprise, she refused to say a word.

Feeling somewhat displeased, he stopped in his tracks, “Don’t you think that my heading to the Original World is a cause for celebration?”

Zhu Lingshan responded contemptuously, “That’s because you guys drove Lin Zhen away. If Lin Zhen were still here, you wouldn’t even get the chance.”

“You… How dare you!”

Ke Xiangdong, who was behind him, blanched. He feared the mention of Lin Zhen might affect his brother’s mood and subsequently, his performance.

But Ke Xiangnan raised a hand to stop his furious brother and coldly stared at Zhu Lingshan, “No one, and I mean no one, can thwart my progress to the Heavenly Gate. As for this Lin Zhen you’re talking about… Let me ask you, when did his record ever surpass mine?”

Zhu Lingshan remained silent. Indeed, Ke Xiangnan had always been the top performer, never surpassed.

Even though she had faith in Lin Zhen surpassing him, Lin Zhen was not currently present, unable to prove anything.

Yet Zhu Lingshan was discontent about Ke Xiangnan’s illustrious display and she spoke, “You’re attempting the trial of the Heavenly Gate today, as are others. Should anyone surpass you, you’ll only be the joke of all.”

“Hahaha! Let them come! Anyone in the Black Hole Stage can attempt that trial. I’d like to see who can snatch the first place from me. Being alone in this endeavor seems rather boring.”

The vastness of the universe attracts many who love a challenge. Hearing Ke Xiangnan’s words, many Black Hole Stage martial artists immediately started to stand out.

Among them, quite a few had records just second to Ke Xiangnan, and they too had made great progress. This was the perfect chance to challenge him. If Ke Xiangnan performed poorly while they excelled, they could gain great fame from this opportunity.

With hundreds of people stepping forward, they all arrived before the Heavenly Gate.

Ke Xiangnan laughed, “Come on, anyone else?”

More martial artists stepped forward. When a Wolfman Warrior walked out, people around him could not help but shake their heads in disbelief.

Loving challenges was fine, but being overly ambitious was not.

Ke Xiangdong walked over to his father and Elder Qin.

“Xiangdong, there won’t be any problems, right? Have you kept up with that Lin Zhen you mentioned to me?”

“Father, rest assured. Lin Zhen has run off. Right before you arrived, I just confirmed the news that he was over four million light years away from here. My subordinates, a few domain kings, are chasing him. It’s impossible for him to come here in time and stir up trouble.”

“And the others?”

“Other than Lin Zhen, none of them matter.”

“That’s good. I have faith in you.”

*********

The martial artists came before the Heavenly Gate, each positioned at their respective starting points for the trial.

Ke Xiangnan stood with his hands behind his back, observing these Black Hole Stage competitors.

In his view, they were overestimating their abilities. Even if he allowed them to set off first, they didn’t possess the ability to surpass him.

Looking around him, a Wolf Clan warrior was making preparations. It made Ke Xiangnan laugh.

“Wolf Clan, among the Galaxy Beast races, is mediocre, let alone that you’re just an ordinary magic wolf.”

He pointed to the two blue bulls pulling a cart in the distance, “See those? They’re Advanced Galaxy Beasts, but their fate concerning the Heavenly Gate is to pull carts only. If you heed my advice, don’t set your sights too high. Being a cart puller is precisely your future.”

The Wolf warrior glanced at Ke Xiangnan, “My goal is to be first.”

“First? Hahaha! You don’t stand a chance. Let me see how much Star Power you possess…Hmm, another one who hides their true strength. I hate people who mask their Star Power, reminds me of a pesky fly.”

After Ke Xiangnan finished speaking, he paid no further attention to the Wolf warrior. In his view, having spoken to him was already a great honor for the latter.

“Get ready!”

Ke Xiangdong stood at the back of the crowd and assumed the role of the referee because this was a race and they had to set off simultaneously.

Everyone was all set.

“Go!”

As Ke Xiangdong’s words fell, all the warrior individuals present soared into the sky like rivers of fireworks.

Not only Ke Xiangnan had his supporters here, all the warriors had their backers. Among them were more than a dozen extraordinary masters of the Galaxy Beast Clan. Ink Kirin, Jade Kirin, White Tiger, Suan Ni, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon— Each of the different clans’ powerhouses were not very impressed by Ke Xiangnan either.

Everyone gave it all they had, sprinting with all their might!

In this straightforward display of strength, there were no tricks to play. Ke Xiangnan indeed had exceptional strength; his speed was incredibly fast, covering a hundred thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Assuming he would surpass everyone, Ke Xiangnan glanced at his side with a hint of smugness.

To his surprise, he saw the Wolf Clan warrior he had previously dismissed right beside him, his feet above his own head!
