Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 233 All things cannot attain eternal life
The Gate of Ascension was towering and boundless, once standing in eternal darkness, seemingly reaching the heavens above and the netherworld below, and no one could shake it.

But now, under Qi Zhe's movements, it began to shake, and the door was slightly opened, revealing a glimpse of what lay inside through a crack.

Qi Zhe clearly saw the scene, witnessing time flowing backward, with everything returning to its starting point.

"Why is this happening?" Qi Zhe was puzzled, his face full of confusion after hearing the strange words from the Gate of Ascension.

The Gate of Ascension has always been connected to another world, an endless world beneath the Gate of Immortality, with a vast and boundless cultivation civilization.

But now, with a whisper at the end of time, everything is disappearing, and all Qi Zhe sees now are just remnants of the past.

These are remnants after a timeline has ended, things that Qi Zhe cannot comprehend or realize now, and can be called the Ruins of Time.

"It took away time!" The Gate of Ascension provided an explanation to Qi Zhe's question, leaving Qi Zhe stunned in the darkness for a moment.

Qi Zhe was somewhat puzzled by the explanation of the Gate of Ascension, and could only guess that 'it' was the Gate of Immortality, an existence that would be immortal after the Supreme One was shattered.

After sensing the anomaly, 'it' condensed the timeline, taking everything back to itself, thus rendering the past three thousand eras meaningless.

Qi Zhe was able to see these changes because of the Gate of Ascension; it was the Gate that was observing the other world, which allowed Qi Zhe to gain insights.

This left Qi Zhe full of doubts. He floated in front of the Gate of Ascension and asked, "Can't you keep them here?"

The Gate of Ascension was extraordinary in Qi Zhe's eyes, possessing power beyond the imagination of ordinary people, capable of easily suppressing even the Great Dao.

As for whether it can compete with the Gate of Immortality, Qi Zhe thinks it probably can; after some communication, everything might be salvageable.

But at this moment, the Gate of Ascension fell silent. It no longer answered Qi Zhe's questions, but only shook the door, trying to close the gate completely.

"boom!!!"

The boundless space before the Gate of Ascension was filled with divine light, but by then the Gate of Ascension was too late, and something else rushed in amidst the roar.

Qi Zhe couldn't understand the changes in the Gate of Ascension; he could only see countless dark and corrupt air currents rushing into it, colliding with the divine light in an instant.

This boundless space is filled with endless immortal energy, and the Great Dao of the Immortal World is also within it, but now a special aura has entered, causing everything to decay.

The celestial energy turned into turbid energy, and the Great Dao vanished. A tragic aura permeated the gate of ascension, as if all things were decaying.

Qi Zhe was also exposed to this airflow, and in an instant he felt inexplicably terrified, his whole body filled with an astonishing sense of crisis, and his hair stood on end.

"The Five Signs of Decay of the Celestial Being?!" He instantly understood what this was and began to desperately try to expel this energy from his body, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.

At this moment, a wisp of air coiled around his soul, like a maggot clinging to his bone, trying to completely destroy him, and the aura of decay directly filled Qi Zhe's soul.

Qi Zhe knew without a doubt what would happen once his soul was corrupted; if he couldn't survive, he would inevitably die, without any surprises.

"Life, decay, and death can happen in an instant, I refuse to accept it!" But how could Qi Zhe give in? He began to use his spiritual cultivation to resist the coming of the Five Decays.

Although the world of immortality seems to offer the possibility of becoming an immortal and living forever, it, like the world of Shrouding the Heavens, presents inescapable challenges.

When the five signs of decay arrive, even immortals must sleep with the world. Even if one lives as long as heaven, one cannot escape the demise of heaven and earth. Only by becoming a Heavenly Ruler can one have a glimmer of hope.

But even heaven and earth have an end to their lifespan; nothing lasts forever, and everything comes to an end. Even the Heavenly Emperor cannot escape this, and even becoming a Celestial King is powerless to change it.

The world of immortality contains the true meaning of immortality, but also the method of great destruction. The gate to flying was forcibly seized in the past, and now Qi Zhe has taken over both the good and the bad.

"This is truly cause and effect. Is this the Great Destiny Technique?" After pondering, Qi Zhe finally understood that the other party might have already noticed the Gate of Ascension. As the endless aura of decay descended, the Gate of Ascension simply opened and began to breathe out a remnant of a timeline, with countless strange things appearing before it.

The corpses of incredibly powerful beings have been swallowed by the Gate of Ascension, and supreme Dao techniques have been inscribed on the gate. Amidst immense risks lie astonishing rewards.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhe was resisting the aura of the Five Decays within his soul, using his own cultivation to gradually expel it, and it took him a long time to escape danger.

Fortunately, he was still in his prime. If he were old, these auras could kill him instantly. Without immense cultivation, one could not withstand even a fraction of them.

"Chucky!"

Qi Zhe, standing before the portal, stirred his divine soul, watching as the gate to ascension slowly closed, filling the darkness with countless corrupting energies.

These energies exploded repeatedly upon contact, each explosion akin to annihilation, the aura of great destruction churning in the darkness.

Qi Zhe approached the Gate of Ascension to avoid his soul being tainted by the corrupting aura, sensing the astonishing danger within.

"Which is more terrifying, the Great Destruction of the Immortal World or Black Blood?" Qi Zhe pondered the danger of the Five Decays aura, finding it strange as well.

The gate to ascension was closed, its shimmering patterns illuminating a large patch of darkness before it, making the stench of corruption clearly visible.

Black, red, gray, and all sorts of other colors of aura appeared in the darkness, surging like clouds and mist, polluting the boundless immortal energy and the Great Dao.

Qi Zhe could sense their astonishing destructive power; even a mere trace of it could force a powerful being to spend their entire life resisting it, and releasing it all could potentially destroy an entire realm.

However, Qi Zhe dared not do that. These things were attached to the gate of ascension, and if they wanted to break through, they would have to pass through his body, and the consequences were predictable.

Qi Zhe lingered in the darkness for a long time, feeling somewhat disheartened. A sudden flash of inspiration led him to make a huge mess of things.

"The great destruction of heaven and earth transcends fate."

Just as Qi Zhe was filled with regret, the Gate of Ascension stirred again, speaking once more in a voice identical to Qi Zhe's.

It tells the mysteries of heaven and earth, saying that all things eventually decay and perish, and that nothing is in the control of fate.

Then it moved again, vibrating the door slightly once more, and a small crack appeared in Qi Zhe's eyes.

"boom!!!"

Nothing leaked through the crack in the door; this time, the Gate of Ascension blocked everything, allowing Qi Zhe to see the scene behind the door through the gap.

"Immortality!" With a loud shout, Qi Zhe witnessed an astonishing scene once again: a portal began to create the world from nothingness.

Qi Zhe was unclear about what had happened, but he saw that the portal was emitting mysterious energy, and the collision between it and the boundless chaos gave birth to infinite worlds.

Many strange creatures were born as a result, all of them naturally powerful, possessing supernatural abilities that surprised even Qi Zhe.

"It has returned to its origin once again, and nothing in the heavens can live forever." The Gate of Ascension seemed to have seen through everything, recounting its insights.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe suddenly realized and exclaimed in horror, "The beginning of three thousand eras? A cycle of the great destruction of heaven and earth?!"

"Is this the ultimate shattering?"

My buddy's gone wild!
