Super Gene - Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: 1144




The stone door hovered in the air, adamantly remaining closed .

The underground cavern was a mighty place, but the door seemed so far away . With Xiang Yin's speed, it looked like she could reach it in the space of a second . But with everyone's bated breath, it felt like she'd never reach there .

The mist that was a pleasant smell began to stream towards the door and Xiang Yin followed in its wake . The tallest point of the cavern's ceiling was ten-thousand meters high, but to Han Sen, Xiang Yin felt like she was an entire galaxy away from him .

When Xiang Yin reached the door, she placed her hands against it and pushed it partially open .

The scary power that came from that small gap immediately frightened Han Sen and flattened him down on the ground .

It wasn't just Han Sen like this, but the creatures all around were pushed down to the ground, as well . Only the super creatures could manage to somewhat stand in defiance of that new gravity .

Although the super creatures could fight it back, they still looked terrified before that power .

Xiang Yin's clothes violently waved in the wind of a phantom typhoon that seemed to stem from that partially-opened door .

But Xiang Yin still managed to stand strong against it all, maintaining her grip on the door she pushed against .

As the door slowly opened, more and more of that wind entered the cavern . Soon after, not even the super creatures could stand .

Where Xiang Yin was, the wind was even more terrifying . The gusts were so sharp, they cut her like blades and knifed through the mist .

Xiang Yin frowned and summoned a flute . She blew a few notes towards the door, which manifested as a wall of snakes to aid her in withstanding the force of that invisible storm .

She continued her defiance of the door and pushed it with all her might, but soon after, not even the snakes could withstand the gusts .

So then, she summoned her lute . Notes emerged from the instrument without it even being played, and the notes took on the form of birds . Like a raven shield of gold, they stood against the fierce phantom winds as a bulwark before her .



It did not last forever, though, and each time her protection broke, she'd summon another instrument to create a shield . Over the time it took for her to open the door, she ended up summoning eight different instruments and eight different creatures .

Boom!

Even the stone door itself quivered . She had managed to open the door fully, but no spirit came through from the other side .

In the black on the other side of the stone door, there were stairs . Where they led, none could tell . The dimension inside was distorted and twisted, preventing any clear view by the onlookers .

Xiang Yin placed a foot on one of those steps, and the moment she took a step, a transparent fire blazed to consume her .

The beasts that accompanied her were useless, and they all turned to soot in the hungry flames that licked them .

Xiang Yin's clothes and instruments became cinders and ash in the flame, and she looked to be in agony . The fire was making her suffer, but her resolve was not swayed . She pushed on to take a second step .



More fire blazed to envelop her, as all the items she possessed disintegrated into nothing . With Xiang Yin's clothing gone, her flesh was seared through to expose bones that were then catching on fire .

That mist began to seep out from the seams and tears of her composition, and so too did magical musical notes . The forces tried to form a veil of protection around her, against the most brutal fire that sought to put an end to her ascension .

With every step she took, it seemed like a century had elapsed . And each time she took a step, another one would appear .

The transparent fire did not relent as she ascended, and it continued to ravage her as she went . But while it did indeed hurt her, it morphed and warped her super body's genes .

Han Sen was shocked . When she reached her seventh step, her super body began to collapse . He could not tell how many more steps awaited her .

When she reached the ninth step, her entire body was vaporized . Han Sen could only see a blurry light reach that ninth step, and the notes and mist that accompanied her had drawn faintly .

"Ten Steps of the Holy Door . I did not expect you to reach the ninth step; you must be the greatest of the eight generals," a weird voice boomed throughout the underground . Quickly, it tried to follow Xiang Yin .

Han Sen was shocked when he saw who it was . It was Yaksha!

He looked different than the last time Han Sen saw him . Yaksha looked strange, but as murderous as ever . Han Sen knew exactly what he was up to .

But with Xiang Yin focusing on her ascension of those brutal steps, she couldn't turn her attention away to focus on anything else .

Yaksha had appeared at the perfect time to prevent her ascension . He was there now, bitterly seeking to stop her . Han Sen realized Yaksha must have been hidden there the entire time . He had waited for this paramount moment to reveal himself and make her fail .

By doing that, he hoped to achieve the powers of the Fourth God's Sanctuary and flesh easily .

Prior to this moment, Xiang Yin would have had no trouble exterminating the villain Yaksha was, but she was on the final step of that excruciating climb . She could not be distracted .

But it did seem like Xiang Yin herself now acknowledged Yaksha was there . She was shocked by his sudden appearance, and it immediately made her quiver . As she took notice, her notes appeared weaker .

"Oh, no . " Han Sen looked at his xun and sought to stop Yaksha .
