At the moment the Chaos Tribulation Lightning exploded between the ethereal projection of the Heaven Gate, a bloodstain on Lu Qingyang's palm suddenly solidified into a bronze key, shimmering with a faint, ancient bronze luster.

The ethereal projection of the Ferrying Calamity Boat carried the three through the Guixu tide, and amidst the creaking of the boat's hull as it was corroded by star marrow, the ice soul hairpin at Leng Yuehan's temple suddenly revealed seven layers of Restriction—each rune perfectly matched the cracks on the golden bell at Su Meiniang's tail tip.

"Little Lord's method of ferrying is truly astonishing!"

Su Meiniang's nine tails tightly wrapped around the collapsing mast, as if to snap it, and the Void Refining Dao Domain behind her was like a torn, blood-red rift, exuding a terrifying Aura.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the bottom of the boat, as if it had hit something hard.

Everyone looked intently, only to see a huge bronze palm reaching out from under the water, striking directly at the small boat.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyang unhesitatingly activated his Nascent Soul Avatar, and the taotie pattern on the surface of his Nascent Soul Avatar moved like a living thing, flowing upstream and rapidly engraving the Big Dipper star marks into his palm.

"Fairy Leng, lend me your Guanghan Moon Soul to suppress the Kun position!" Lu Qingyang shouted, his voice like thunder exploding on the water.

Leng Yuehan, hearing this, wasted no words and immediately formed a hand Seal to activate the Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel, and a hundred and twenty thousand ice crystals poured down like a waterfall.

However, when these ice crystals touched the giant bronze palm, they strangely solidified into frost chains, as if controlled by a mysterious power.

Leng Yuehan's pupils suddenly contracted, because she saw that the trajectory of the frost chains was exactly the same as the Seal Formation from three hundred years ago when her Master fell!

"This is… the Taiyin Dragon Locking Formation!" Leng Yuehan's voice trembled slightly; she never imagined that this giant bronze palm would deploy such a powerful Formation.

However, she was, after all, an experienced Cultivator, and immediately calmed down, her finger-sealing speed suddenly accelerating, Ice Soul Sword Qi rapidly dancing in the Void Realm, like an incomplete Formation diagram.

"Daoist Lu, the Formation eye is at the Laogong acupoint of the giant palm!" Leng Yuehan shouted loudly, while continuously injecting her Ice Soul Sword Qi into the incomplete Formation diagram.

The Ferrying Calamity Boat suddenly changed direction, and the bronze ram at its bow shot out destructive starlight.

Su Meiniang's tail-tip golden bell shattered three spatial barriers, and the fragments of the bell pestle wrapped by the Burning Sky Silk suddenly triggered a resonance with the Heaven Gate: "The Formation diagram is reversed! Little Lord, attack the Shenmen acupoint!"

A playful arc appeared at the corner of Lu Qingyang's mouth, and his copper coin sword picked up the Xing Jie Dan Fire and hurled it towards the Formation eye.

The moment the Pill Fire touched the frost chains, an ancient bell chimed from the depths of the Guixu, and the spiritual tide stirred by the sound waves actually pushed the Ferrying Calamity Boat towards the Heaven Gate crack.

"Hold on tight!" His voice echoed in the Chaos Qi, as if from the Underworld Hell.

As his words fell, he violently ripped his left sleeve, revealing the true body of his bronze fate hidden within.

It was a rusty, mottled object, its surface covered with the marks of time.

However, at that instant, the rust suddenly wriggled like a living thing, then violently opened nine star pupils, each emitting a chilling light that made one's heart palpitate.

"This business… will see blood!" His voice was low and cold, as if portending a bloody slaughter about to unfold.

Just then, the Chaos Qi gushing from the Heaven Gate crack suddenly churned violently, and three thousand Soul Suppressing Chains stretched out from it.

These chains, as if alive, snaked and moved in the air, their winding trajectories mysteriously conforming to the number of the Zhou Tian stars, and each link was imprinted with the Restriction runes of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, exuding an ancient and mysterious Aura.

Facing this sudden attack, Burning Sky Flame burst forth from Su Meiniang's beautiful eyes, and her nine tails rapidly condensed into a scarlet Avatar behind her, like burning flames.

She roared, "Lingxu Zi! How can a Formation-stealing rat like you be worthy of controlling the Heaven Gate?"

However, at the end of the Soul Suppressing Chains, a giant Xuanwu Avatar slowly emerged.

The blood patterns on the tortoise shell, like living things, were actually devouring the Xing Jie Dan Fire, causing the originally terrifying flames to be completely consumed the moment they touched the tortoise shell.

"Daoist Su, those words are a bit biased." The Xuanwu Avatar emitted a low voice, "This old man is merely seeking justice… for all beings in the North Sea!"

Just as the two sides were in a standoff, a fragment of the Guanghan Mirror in Leng Yuehan's hand suddenly flashed with a cold light, reflecting a horrifying scene—within Lingxu Zi's Purple Mansion, the second Nascent Soul refined from the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul was actually entrenched!

Seeing this, Su Meiniang's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel in her hand spun violently, emitting a piercing hum, then shot out like a bolt of lightning, instantly crushing three Soul Suppressing Chains.

Immediately after, her Ice Soul Sword Qi, like a raging tide, pointed directly at the Xuanwu's glabella.

"The debt of Guanghan Palace… it's time to settle it!" Su Meiniang's voice was bone-chillingly cold, filled with endless hatred.

Just as Lu Qingyang was about to insert the bronze key into the Heaven Gate crack, a powerful force erupted from the core of his fate.

This force, like a surging torrent, rapidly condensed into an Undergoing Tribulation Pill Furnace in the Void Realm.

Inside the Pill Furnace, Chaos essence churned and boiled, as if speaking of endless mysteries.

And within this Chaos, half of the Heaven Severing Sword suddenly let out a clear Dragon roar, and the star patterns appearing on its hilt produced a wonderful Dao rhyme resonance with Leng Yuehan's ice soul hairpin.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyang instantly understood: "So that's how it is…" A cold smile played on his lips, and then he unhesitatingly flipped his palm and shattered the ethereal projection of the Pill Furnace.

With the shattering of the Pill Furnace, countless star fires burst forth like fireworks, interweaving into a magnificent South Sea Star Map amidst the surging waves of the Guixu tide.

"Old Monster Ling, your trick of 'stealing the sky and changing the sun' is even more spectacular than a theatrical troupe!" Lu Qingyang's voice echoed in the Void Realm, carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.

However, just as he finished speaking, the Xuanwu Avatar suddenly let out a loud bang, then violently self-destructed.

The surging Underworld Ghost Fire burned fiercely, like the fires of Hell.

Within this Underworld Ghost Fire, nine Sword Qi shot out like lightning, carrying a sharp Aura, and rushed straight towards Lu Qingyang.

Seeing this, Su Meiniang's Burning Sky Silk danced like a spiritual snake, instantly tightly entangling three of the Sword Qi.

However, just as she thought she had successfully blocked this wave of attacks, the entangled Sword Qi suddenly erupted with a powerful force, forcefully breaking free from the Burning Sky Silk.

What astonished Su Meiniang even more was that a trace of the Bloodline imprint of a Qingqiu traitor had seeped out from the shattered Sword Qi.

"Blood Refining Forbidden Art! You actually refined the essence of your own clan into Sword Spirits!" Su Meiniang cried out in alarm, her face full of disbelief.

"It's just the victor being king and the loser being bandit!" Accompanied by Lingxu Zi's angry roar, his innate Sword Formation suddenly split into a hundred thousand Soul Suppressing Swords, each sword light like a ghost, entwined with the resentful souls of the Fox Clan, exuding a chilling Aura.

"Today, I will make you all Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering before this rebirth monument, forever falling into Reincarnation!" Lingxu Zi's voice echoed in the Void Realm, like a judgment from Hell.

However, at the moment the Ferrying Calamity Boat disintegrated into countless star dust in the sword rain, Lu Qingyang's bronze fate suddenly erupted with a powerful force, like an enraged giant beast, suddenly turning the tables.

The Tiantian Daowen flowed upstream along the Soul Suppressing Swords, as swift as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, reached the core of the Sword Formation.

There, it was like a precise craftsman, deeply imprinting the Zhou Tian Star Lock into the Sword Formation.

"Fairy Leng! Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel suppresses the Qian position!" Lu Qingyang shouted loudly, his voice echoing like thunder in the Guixu.

Ice Soul Sword Qi moved in response, like a white giant Dragon, roaring as it rushed towards Lingxu Zi's Sword Formation.

In an instant, the entire Guixu was frozen, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Just then, the Heaven Gate opened with a roar, and a powerful suction force surged from within, as if to swallow everything.

The Heaven Severing Sword, held by the giant bronze palm, suddenly seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, abruptly changing direction and, with lightning speed, stabbed directly at Lingxu Zi's Dantian.

"Impossible… This Sword Spirit clearly…" Lingxu Zi's roar was full of despair and disbelief, his eyes wide as he watched the Heaven Severing Sword mercilessly pierce his body.

"A Sword Spirit recognizes its Master, regardless of loyalty or treachery," Lu Qingyang said lightly, wiping the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, his gaze cold as he looked at Lingxu Zi.

Then, with a gentle wave of the copper coin sword in his hand, he picked up the Xing Jie Dan Embryo and, like throwing a pebble, easily hurled it towards the Heaven Gate.

"Daoist Ling's Incarnation… Mr. Lu will gladly accept it!" Lu Qingyang's mouth curved slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.

After a thrilling battle, the fighting finally came to an end.

The three stood before the Heaven Gate, their chests heaving violently, gasping for breath.

Leng Yuehan's ice soul hairpin glowed faintly in her hand, like a cold star in the night sky, clear and mysterious.

Su Meiniang's Burning Sky Silk, on the other hand, swayed gently like a flame, as if recounting the lingering warmth of the intense battle they had just fought.

And the bronze key in Lu Qingyang's hand, illuminated by the sunlight, appeared even more ancient and mysterious, as if hiding countless secrets.

"We finally opened the Heaven Gate." Leng Yuehan's voice carried a hint of an imperceptible tremor, not only due to physical exhaustion but also from the fear and anticipation of the unknown world.

Lu Qingyang's gaze was profound and sharp, as if it could penetrate the layers of mist behind the Heaven Gate and discern its mysteries.

He said in a deep voice, "But this is just the beginning." His voice echoed in the air, revealing a certainty and determination for the future.

Su Meiniang smiled slightly, her nine tails gently swaying, like a blooming flower.

"No matter how perilous the road ahead, with the three of us working together, we will surely overcome all obstacles." Her words were full of confidence and courage.

The three exchanged a smile, their unspoken understanding needing no words.

At this moment, they seemed to forget the life-and-death struggle they had just experienced, their hearts filled only with the exploration and conquest of the unknown world.

Immediately, they stepped into the Heaven Gate.

As their figures gradually disappeared into the light of the Heaven Gate, the entire Guixu once again fell into a dead silence.

However, no one knew what kind of new world awaited them beyond the Heaven Gate.

Perhaps this world was full of endless Treasure Troves and opportunities, or perhaps it harbored countless dangers and challenges.

But no matter what, these three had resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknowns.
