Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 496

Chapter 496: 496

Xue Wei continued to kill indiscriminately . He was ruthless, as he knew that if the tables had been turned, then he would have died miserably .

Not to mention, these lives seemed to be triggering the gate to the Ghost Realm .

The soldiers felt despair . They knew that escape was impossible, but looking at the situation, they could not fight back either . These youngsters were like devils that had climbed out from hell .

They all held sinister and wicked smiles on their lips as they slaughtered them and their comrades; there was no sign of pity or guilt in their eyes . Just how had these youngsters grown up to make them this ruthless and unfeeling?

If they knew what Xue Wei and the others had been through, they might understand it more, but they did not know, and since they were dying, they would never find out either .

Lan was also ruthless as he looked at these deaths . He was the Sovereign God of this world and he was supposed to protect it, but even though these people who lived on the world he had sworn to protect were dying like flies in front of him, he showed no signs of stopping it .

In fact, a hopeful gleam could be seen in his eyes as he observed Xue Wei . The dense death energy was simply so heavy that everyone's movements had slowed, and their breathing had become labored .

Xue Wei had ten experts left to kill, and a brutal gleam appeared in his eyes .

He understood that the death energy would evaporate at a rapid speed, so to saturate it enough, he had to kill faster, to end lives as swiftly as humanly possible .

And thus, he hesitated no longer, and threw some of his killing moves at the last group of people, ending them with a single strike .

As the final death energy merged with the dense air, a tremor ran through the entire world, and suddenly a strange gate appeared in the air above the mountain of corpses .

The gate seemed corporeal; it was not at all vague or hard to see; it was more than twenty meters high and ten meters wide . The doors were made from a strange black stone, but there were hundreds of thousands of scratches made in it, and some of them even had the presence of dried blood .

These heavy stone doors of the gate began creaking, and slowly swung open .

Inside, a strange translucent being stepped out . It had a human body, but the head was that of an ox . In his hands was a big battle-axe, and his red eyes were glaring at Xue Wei and Lan .

He was about to say something when the red eyes widened in shock . "A Rule Breaker!" he exclaimed, and suddenly he moved . His movement was so swift that Xue Wei did not notice the action before the ox-headed creature was standing right in front of him .

Lan could have stopped him, but he had to consider the options he had if he wanted to make a move . Fortunately, he felt no killing intent from the ox-headed man; all he felt was curiosity .

The ox-headed man had been guarding the ghost realm since its creation, and he had never encountered a Rulebreaker before . However, the Ghost Realm laws had been imprinted into his soul, and upon encountering one, he knew what he had to do .

"Rulebreakers are permitted to enter the Ghost Realm . Depending on the sacrifice made to create you, you are allowed to bring foreign entities into the realm with you, but the number of entities you can bring fully depends on the grade of your Rule-Breaking identity . "

Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise . So there were different grades of being a Rule Breaker? How was this estimated?

"Your grade is seven, not bad, it is in the upper realms," the ox-headed man continued to speak as he was pacing around the confused Xue Wei .

"With such an identity, you can bring up to three entities with you into the Ghost Realm," he continued and looked at his group of friends .

Xue Wei was also deep in thought, but then he shook his head . "I am going to bring Lan as the only one . "

Everyone was surprised by his words, but Xue Wei had already made a decision .

He looked at his friends, his expression was solemn, and his eyes flashed with reluctance, but they held a firm belief at the same time .

"We have been together for many years, but I cannot take all of you with me to the Ghost Realm . Splitting up is not feasible, so you will stay here while Lan and I enter the Ghost Realm . When I return, I will find you all; Lan can sense you, so don't be afraid of moving around .

"Also, the war has not ended yet, so give it everything you have, make sure to fight in every battle and advance your skills .

"When I come back from the Ghost Realm, we will leave the Xiyang and the Demon Phoenix continents behind and move on . I have a deadline for when I need to find Wang Xiaoyun, so we have to find the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise Clans first . "

The others were suddenly enlightened . Xue Wei did not bring them with him for two reasons . One of them was that he did not know what he would encounter in the Ghost Realm, and thus he dared not put them in harm's way .

Another was that if he did bring some of them, those who remained in the Xiyang Continent would easily be targeted and might end up losing their lives .

Either way, he would blame himself, so the choice he had made was the most suitable one for them all .
