Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 632 - 631: Gate of Life and Death [Eighth Update]
"Besides you!"
Xiao Yi's face wore a playful smile, his gaze fixed intently on Tiandao Emperor, who was digging out sea crystals.
Of the three top experts of Three Blade Mountain, only he remained.
The deaths of the other two were both related to him.
Moreover, Tiandao Emperor was filled with hostility towards Xiao Yi. If he were to obtain treasures or significantly increase his strength within the Star Pavilion, Xiao Yi couldn't guarantee he wouldn't seek revenge.
Xiao Yi himself naturally wasn't afraid.
But Tiandao Emperor commanded the strong warriors of Three Blade Mountain, and once he led them to the Great Qian Dynasty,
That would be a huge problem.
That was the very reason.
Xiao Yi chose to pick a fight proactively, to eliminate this hidden threat.
Tiandao Emperor nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in rage, glaring furiously, his eyes fixed deadly on Xiao Yi as if they could devour him: "Xiao Yi, don't push me too far!"
He had already apologized.
He had knelt down.
Yet Xiao Yi wouldn't let him into the Star Pavilion, which made Tiandao Emperor unable to endure any longer, and he finally erupted.
Xiao Yi's face revealed a playful look, and he said indifferently, "So I'm bullying you, what can you do about it?"
"I, I..."
Tiandao Emperor's face alternated between pale and flushed, a hint of madness flickering in his eyes as he bellowed, "You're forcing my hand! I originally planned to wait until I left Star Pavilion to seek revenge, but since you're courting death, don't blame me!"
Boom!
Within Tiandao Emperor, a surge of vital energy was swallowed and exhaled.
A blood-red battle saber fell into his palm—the blade was about ten feet long, drenched in crimson as if it had just been pulled from a pool of blood. The chilling Evil Qi made the temperature of the area drop abruptly.
Hum!
With a slight tremble of the blade,
The Evil Qi dissipated visibly at speed, driving the surrounding powerhouses to keep their distance, watching the two warily: "Such a Tiandao Emperor, just the intent of his blade alone is enough to drive most warriors of the same rank away."
"Xiao Yi is strong, but against him, Tiandao Emperor may not be without a chance of victory!"
"That's not certain... Xiao Yi is after all too young, I still think Tiandao Emperor has a greater chance of winning!"
Everyone was discussing this.
Their gaze fell on Ji Luanyue, who squinted slightly and shook her head: "It's hard to tell..."
This statement only made everyone more expectant.
At this moment...
Tiandao Emperor suddenly lunged forward, dragging the blood-red battle saber behind him, its edge slicing the ground and emitting a clanging noise, sparks flying: "Force Split Tianshan!"
Whoosh!
Tiandao Emperor harshly swung the hilt of his saber.
Amid the booming sounds,
The blade emitted a blood-red glow, carving a gigantic trench on the ground and, with a ferocious heave from beneath, it burst upwards. There was a thunderous explosion as the ground blasted open, dirt and rocks erupted outward, paired with the blood-red edge aiming directly for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi leaped up, stepping on air, and stomped down hard.
Boom!
His toe tapped the edge of the blade, and a surge of violent strength instantly exploded outwards, like the terrifying impact of a comet hitting the earth. Tiandao Emperor's battle saber in his hand buzzed uncontrollably as it plunged from the sky, crashing to the ground with a boom.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently as cracks spread in all directions like a spider's web.
By then, Xiao Yi had already appeared in front of Tiandao Emperor, a flash of cold light passing in his eyes: "Tiandao Emperor, I had no intention of killing you, but since you're seeking death yourself, you can't blame me!"
Boom!
He stomped down fiercely with his foot.
Tiandao Emperor's face changed repeatedly, his long saber thrust into the ground but unable to be pulled out in time, instinctively using his arm to shield above his head.
Thump!
Xiao Yi's kick landed squarely on an arm.
With a grating crack, the Tiandao Emperor's entire arm exploded into pieces, blood and shattered bones spraying in all directions. At the same time, Xiao Yi exerted a forceful step, crushing the Tiandao Emperor's head into his chest cavity.
Bang!
The esteemed leader of Three Blade Mountain lay heavily on the ground, devoid of any breath of life.
Xiao Yi landed beside the Tiandao Emperor, curled his lip in disdain, and casually collected the battle sabre and storage ring, his indifferent gaze then swept over the others, lips curling into a faint cold smile, "Who else thinks the toll is too expensive?"
People looked at each other, all forcing a smile and saying, "Ten million sea crystals, how can that be expensive compared to entering the Star Pavilion?"
"Lord Xiao has generously allowed us to enter the Star Pavilion together, this is already a great favor!"
"Thank you, Lord Xiao!"
Even those who were initially reluctant to pay now obediently presented their sea crystals with both hands.
Xiao Yi collected the toll from everyone.
He then placed the four divine beasts statues on the ground. The four statues began to move at the same time, rotating towards the direction of the Gate of Life and Death amidst clicking sounds. They simultaneously fired beams of light, and at the same time, the characters on the Gate of Life and Death started to subtly change.
The Gate of Life became the Gate of Death.
The Gate of Death became the Gate of Life!
Everyone's faces changed: "Damn, so the true Gate of Life was actually the Gate of Death?"
"Does this mean Shayuntian has already entered the Star Palace?"
People were left bewildered.
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, he had been wondering why Shayuntian, despite seeing the key was the four divine beasts statues, still chose to discard the key and enter through the Gate of Death.
It turned out that the Gate of Death was the real Gate of Life.
And the Gate of Life was the Gate of Death.
Everyone felt a surge of fear, thankful that they hadn't tried to force their way through.
One by one, they rushed towards the Gate of Death.
Xiao Yi followed closely behind and charged in.
The path was very long, and there were no dangers along the way. After walking for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, an exit finally appeared at the front. Bright light spilled from the cave entrance, and Xiao Yi dashed out ahead of the others.
Whoosh!
The area in front of them opened up suddenly.
Under everyone's feet was a vast square, and suspended in mid-air was a grand hall with the words "Star Palace" inscribed above it.
A celestial staircase made of floating steps connected the square to the Star Palace.
The celestial staircase had a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
At the moment...
Shayuntian was sitting cross-legged on the stairs above the five hundredth step, recuperating. Suddenly sensing the forceful approach of Xiao Yi, Shayuntian's face turned pale, he clenched his teeth tightly, and continued to climb forward with difficulty.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine celestial steps.
With each ascent, the pressure on everyone increased steadily.
Every hundred steps, the pressure would double.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

Meaning that at the last ninety-nine steps, the pressure would be two hundred and fifty-six times that of the first hundred steps!
"Damn it... how did these guys learn the secret of the Gate of Life and Death?" Shayuntian, who was recovering and preparing to climb the celestial stairs, suddenly changed his expression and, no longer caring about resting, stood up and rushed forward.
Ji Luanyue and the others' expressions changed: "Hurry, we can't let Shayuntian be the first to enter the Star Palace!"
"Catch up to him!"
"Charge!"
A host of powerhouses began to scale the celestial staircase.
Xiao Yi, however, stood at the entrance of the staircase, looking at the struggling crowd on the steps and sighed lightly, "What era is it now, yet they're still so foolishly climbing the so-called celestial stairs?"
As his words trailed off.
Xiao Yi, drew out Zhan Yue...
