Chapter 14727 The Heavenly Gate Opens
Just as Ling Xiao was about to say something more, the Heavenly Gate barrier that had suppressed countless ages in the distant sky suddenly trembled violently!
Ling Xiao, Qi Tian, ​​Ling Bi, and the others immediately looked up.

Under the solemn gaze of everyone, the mysterious and ancient runes on the Heavenly Gate barrier, which seemed eternal and indestructible, began to dim and dissipate little by little.

what happened?

Everyone frowned, their gazes fixed solemnly on the constantly trembling Heavenly Gate barrier.

Sword Demon stared intently at the crumbling barrier in the sky. Gradually, her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice turned icy: "Not good, they're going to destroy this barrier!"

Destroy the restriction?

Ling Xiao's expression darkened, and he said coldly:
"Do these guys intend to come down from the third level and attack me directly? But wasn't this Heavenly Gate Barrier personally set up by the Demon Lord in the past? If those Annihilation Gods were to forcibly descend from the third level, their own strength should be suppressed by the realm!"

Sword Demon's gaze remained fixed on the crumbling barrier, his tone grave:

"Perhaps this Heavenly Gate has long been dilapidated and on the verge of destruction due to the erosion of time. They only need to exert a little effort to completely dismantle that layer of power suppression!"

"Wouldn't that be a huge problem?"

Qi Tian's expression suddenly changed.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying those beings of the Silent Court were; even the weakest among them were top-tier experts at the lower-level Lord realm.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Gate barrier separating the inside from the outside, these people would have plundered all the resources of the Silent Realm long ago, and they would never have been able to develop peacefully to this day.

Wen Yan's face was also terribly gloomy:
"Once this suppression is completely lifted, the power of the Silent Extinction Court will be enough to swallow the entire Broken Realm Mountain whole! Of course, you and I are still strong enough to barely hold them off for a while."

"But what about the others? In the entire Broken Realm, and even the entire Silent Realm, does everyone have the strength of you and me? Once their power floods in, the entire Silent Realm will surely be devastated, with not a single blade of grass growing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Having cultivated to their current level, they may still have a faint trace of compassion in their hearts, but if asked to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the so-called common people... they cannot do it.

What do I care about the common people?

Is it selfish?
It can't be considered selfish.

After all, no one has an obligation to risk their life to save strangers.

Above the Heavenly Gate, the ancient runes grew increasingly dim and sparse.

More and more powerful figures arrived from all directions upon hearing the news.

The Queen Mother and Mr. Bamboo Forest also appeared one after another, standing in the crowd.

At this moment, many people's eyes showed not worry, but rather an undisguised excitement.

They could clearly see that the Heavenly Gate barrier was constantly weakening. Once it completely disappeared, it would mean they could directly break into the Heavenly Gate and enter the third level of the Realm of Annihilation!
Once you enter that place, you'll have the chance to escape the prison of the Realm of Annihilation, where you can leap freely in the vast ocean and soar freely in the boundless sky.

For these people who have been trapped in the Realm of Annihilation for countless years, this place has always been a prison, not a home.

Finally, only one rune remained, silently floating in the sky. The ancient celestial barrier had completely vanished without a trace.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke excitedly: "If we break this last rune, we can enter the Heavenly Gate directly!"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on that lone rune.

Wen Yan's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "No!"

Everyone looked at him.

Wen Yan's voice was heavy: "Breaking this rune will indeed open a passage to the third level. But the price will be that the entire Silent Realm will collapse and be destroyed, inevitably leading to widespread suffering and disaster!"

In the distance, an old woman in black indifferently raised her eyes, her tone detached and ruthless: "What do we care about the survival of the Nirvana Realm?"

Wen Yan looked at her, speechless for a moment.

He knew better than anyone that these people would never sacrifice their coveted future for the sake of the billions of lives in the Realm of Annihilation.

This is human nature.

And he has no right to stand on the moral high ground and criticize anyone.

Just then!

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of an old man. He suddenly soared into the sky, unleashing his full cultivation without reservation, transforming it into a terrifying force that slammed into the last rune!
boom……!!!
The runes shattered instantly!

Where the runes shattered, the void twisted violently, and a pitch-black spatial rift suddenly opened.

The envoy of Annihilation who had appeared before... Wang Jing, slowly walked out again, appearing in everyone's sight.

"Wang Jing!"

Ling Xiao's face instantly darkened.

This is a true Envoy of Annihilation! Even when suppressed by the realm, he could easily defeat Wang Xuanying, a powerful figure from Breaking Realm Mountain.

Now that the suppression is gone, this person's strength will only become more terrifying and unpredictable.

Wang Jing slowly swept his gaze over the crowd below, a faint smile playing on his lips: "If you all wish to enter the Heavenly Gate, or even leave the Realm of Annihilation, that is not impossible. However, you must agree to one thing for me."

As he finished speaking, he looked down at Ling Xiao, his gaze fixed on him, his tone as cold as ice: "Kill him. Use his head to exchange for the pass to the outer realm."

Kill Ling Xiao!

The moment those three words were uttered, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Use Ling Xiao's life to exchange for the chance to leave the Realm of Annihilation!

After a brief silence, many people's faces turned extremely grim.

Use someone else to do your dirty work!
The powerful figures of the Silent Court clearly wanted to use them to get rid of Ling Xiao; to put it bluntly, they wanted to force them to fight Ling Xiao to the death.

Anyone who can live to such a level must be shrewd and calculating, able to see through Wang Jing's sinister intentions at a glance.

Not far away, Ling Xiao stared coldly at Wang Jing and slowly said, "It seems that the person you really want to deal with has always been me."

Wang Jing glanced at him indifferently and smiled slightly: "Of course it's you."

Ling Xiao opened his palm, and the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword slowly appeared in his hand, its dark sword light flickering uncertainly: "Is this what you want?"

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and sheathed the Black Sky Sword, grinning at Wang Jing with a sharp edge: "I won't give it to you!"

Wang Jing remained unperturbed, his smile still gentle: "It's alright, if you won't give it to me, I'll just come and get it myself."

After saying that, he looked down at the group of powerful figures from Breaking Boundaries Mountain, his voice filled with seduction and pressure: "This is your only chance in this life. As long as you kill Ling Xiao, I will immediately open the Heavenly Gate and allow all of you to enter."

Kill Ling Xiao!

The arena fell silent once again.

If Ling Xiao were bloodthirsty, they would have acted long ago.

The problem is, is Ling Xiao easy to kill?
They're not easy to kill at all!

Besides, can this person's words be trusted?
What if they fight with all their might and both sides are severely injured, but the other party turns around and reneges on their promise?
Wouldn't they then become the most foolish pawns in the world?
At this moment, Mr. Bamboo Forest suddenly stepped out slowly, and said calmly, "Sir, we only wish to enter the Heavenly Gate, nothing more."
