220: The dragon and phoenix bloodlines resonate in harmony, opening the eternal bronze divine gate!

"This..."

Luo Tianfei's delicate body trembled violently, her breathing instantly becoming rapid.

She stared intently at the Phoenix relief on the gate, feeling her Soul tremble.

The Phoenix's posture, charm, and even the details of every feather were exactly the same as the Sequence Totem inherited deep within her Bloodline!

How could this be?!

The God-Tier Sequence only appeared after the Apocalypse arrived; why would it appear on this ancient palace that had existed for countless millennia?

A strong sense of destiny surged through Luo Tianfei's limbs like an electric current.

She felt the Phoenix Bloodline within her letting out a joyful, longing cry, like a wanderer who had been away from home for years finally seeing the face of their hometown.

It was calling to her.

At the same time, Lu Sheng felt the same sensation.

The Dragon God Bloodline within him boiled like never before at this moment. An impulse originating from the Primordial Wilderness was driving his body, making him walk toward the giant gate involuntarily.

One step, two steps.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly landing on some mysterious node, resonating with the breathing of the entire palace.

Luo Tianfei watched Lu Sheng's back and did not stop him.

She had a strong premonition that perhaps only they could open this gate.

Finally, Lu Sheng arrived before the hundred-meter-tall bronze giant gate.

Before it, Lu Sheng's figure was as tiny as a speck of dust.

He slowly raised his right hand and, as if possessed, pressed it against the lifelike Five-Clawed Golden Dragon relief on the gate.

Cold and hard.

This was the first sensation from his palm.

However, at the very moment his palm fully pressed against the bronze gate—

Boom!!

A majestic and vast Dragon Qi suddenly erupted from Lu Sheng's body!

A golden light, brilliant to the extreme, surged along his arm and frantically poured into the golden dragon relief!

Buzz—!

The entire bronze giant gate let out a low rumble.

On the gate, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which had been silent for countless millennia, seemed to have been infused with a Soul at this moment.

Every one of its scales was lit up from the inside out, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Those originally dim dragon eyes lit up with two points of divine light.

A Soul-shaking silent dragon roar exploded deep within Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei's Sea of Consciousness!

In that dragon roar, there was no anger or roaring, only a sense of desolation and majesty that had endured through the ages.

Lu Sheng felt as if his consciousness was being pulled away, seeing fragmented images.

Stars extinguished, continents shattered, and countless gods and demons fell in the blood-colored sky... those images flashed by so quickly that he couldn't capture them at all.

But just then, the golden light on the bronze gate flickered a few times and then dimmed again.

The dragon roar dissipated along with it.

The giant gate remained tightly shut.

"What's going on?"

Lu Sheng frowned; he felt a small portion of the blood qi in his body being drawn away, but it seemed the gate had only been half-activated.

It still needed... another kind of power.

Lu Sheng subconsciously looked back at Luo Tianfei, who was not far away.

And Luo Tianfei was currently looking at him and the dragon-shaped relief on the gate, which still had a faint golden light, with a shocked expression.

She understood.

This gate was prepared for them.

"It seems I can't open this gate on my own."

Lu Sheng withdrew his hand, his voice calm, but in those dark-golden vertical pupils, a light like never before flickered.

He looked at Luo Tianfei, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

"Hey, Big Stupid Bird, it's your turn to perform."

"Asshole! I told you not to call me Big Stupid Bird!"

Luo Tianfei's face flushed as she subconsciously retorted, but this time, there was no anger in her voice as there had been in the past; instead, there was a hint of complexity.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and walked to Lu Sheng's side with her long legs.

Standing beneath the giant gate, she could feel the calling from deep within her Bloodline even more strongly.

The Phoenix relief on the gate seemed to possess life; those carved Phoenix eyes were quietly watching her, full of expectation.

"What do I need to do?" Luo Tianfei looked at Lu Sheng and asked in a consultative tone for the first time.

"What else is there to do?" Lu Sheng shrugged. "Press your hand on it."

Luo Tianfei did not hesitate any longer.

She raised her slender, jade-like hand and slowly pressed it onto the magnificent Phoenix relief.

The moment her palm touched the bronze gate.

"Kree—!"

A clear and high-pitched Phoenix cry erupted from her body!

A sky-covering Crimson Divine Fire surged uncontrollably from her palm, frantically pouring into the Phoenix relief!

Buzz—!

It was exactly the same as before.

The entire bronze giant gate rumbled again, and the Phoenix relief on the gate was instantly lit up. Every feather flowed with brilliant red light, emitting a heat and holiness that could incinerate all things.

Golden Dragon, Phoenix.

One on the left and one on the right, they complemented each other on the massive bronze gate.

The golden dragon roar and the crimson Phoenix cry echoed, intertwined, and resonated simultaneously in their mental worlds.

Rumble—!

This time, the entire Bronze Divine Temple, which had been silent for countless millennia, began to tremble violently.

The snow on the mountain peak was shaken loose and fell, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to be letting out an overwhelmed groan.

It was as if a primordial giant beast that had slept for countless eons was being completely awakened at this moment!

Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei glanced at each other, both seeing extreme shock and a hint of... excitement in each other's eyes.

They knew they were about to touch an ancient secret far beyond their imagination.

Ka... kacha... a tooth-aching sound of metal grinding rang out.

The hundred-meter-tall bronze giant gate, which seemed integrated with the mountain, slowly opened inward inch by inch amidst the intertwining golden and red lights.

A crack appeared.

What showed through the crack was not the imagined mountains of gold and silver treasures, nor some ancient Legacy Secret Manual.

But rather a... deep, deathly silent darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light.

As the gate opened wider and wider, that darkness became clearer and clearer.

It was a... void.

Behind the gate, there was actually a vast and boundless starry sky!

Countless stars slowly rotated within it, emitting a cold light, and brilliant star rivers spanned across it, breathtakingly beautiful yet filled with deadly danger.

"This... what is this place?" Luo Tianfei looked at the real starry sky behind the gate, completely lost in thought.

Behind this gate, it actually connected to another world?

Lu Sheng also frowned; he felt a faint but extremely dangerous aura from that starry sky.

Just then.

The moment the bronze giant gate fully opened.

A cold, ancient, and emotionless grand voice rang out simultaneously deep within Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei's minds without warning.

"After waiting for several eons, finally... someone has come."
