Ye Xuan wasn't moved by Eternal Shadow's mockery because he needed help. He wasn't as strong as Eternal Shadow, so he had the awareness of being weak and asking for help.
Moreover, how powerful was the Eternal Shadow? Ye Xuan knew that it wouldn't be that simple to ask for his help. His life was indeed nothing in the eyes of the Eternal Shadow.
"Then what do you want?" Ye Xuan remained silent for a while before looking up at Eternal Shadow.
Ye Xuan always believed that all living things had their own desires. As long as they had desires, they would have what they wanted. This was also the law of equivalent exchange in this world.
Nothing in this world was impossible. It only depended on how much of a price one had to pay. Ye Xuan believed that the Eternal Shadow didn't meet him here to talk nonsense with him. Instead, he had his own motives.
"It's very simple. I want your first Heavenly Gate."
Like a sudden clap of thunder and waves of the vast ocean, Eternal Shadow straightforwardly stated his request. However, when Ye Xuan heard it, he was stunned on the spot. His expression turned gloomy.
Immortal Level Four, Nine Great Heavenly Gates!
Every Heavenly Gate opened was the process to become the strongest in all of eternity. If any Heavenly Gate was destroyed, then that person's life would be crippled. From then on, he would never be able to improve, let alone become the strongest in all of eternity.
To use a simple analogy, to build a house, one needed to lay the foundation. If the foundation was destroyed, the house wouldn't be able to be built.
The first Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Realm was the foundation to become the strongest in all of eternity. The two were of the same principle. To Ye Xuan, this was more serious than taking his life.
If he couldn't improve in this life and lost his first Heavenly Gate, what was the point of Ye Xuan living?
Living was worse than death!
These four simple words explained Ye Xuan's current mood. However, he appeared very calm, so calm that it was terrifying. This was because he had already made a decision. A decision that he wouldn't regret.
Back then, Liu Baiyi had worked his heart out to create the Inverse Immortal Array for him and died. His soul had been scattered between heaven and earth. Even though Ye Xuan had resurrected him later, Liu Baiyi had still sacrificed too much for him.
Currently, Liu Baiyi was in a deep slumber, and only the Eternal Shadow could save him. The other party only wanted his first Heavenly Gate. This deal was very cruel to Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan could not reject it.
"Alright, since you want my first Gate of Heaven, I'll give it to you."
Rumble!
Ye Xuan didn't say anything unnecessary. He was terrifyingly lonely and calm. A terrifying power erupted from his body. A Heavenly Gate appeared behind him and rotated continuously in the void.
"Have you really thought it through?"
Even Eternal Shadow did not expect Ye Xuan to be so resolute. This also made him slightly stunned as he sized up Ye Xuan. Could it be that this brat did not know that after losing the first Gate of Heaven, he would not be able to make any progress in the future? Even his cultivation would not be as good as before?
"It's a fair trade. We each take what we need. You can take it."
Ye Xuan's voice was short and simple. Even though he was at a disadvantage, his resolute eyes made others feel his determination and palpitations.
"Alright."
Eternal Shadow nodded slowly. He was not testing Ye Xuan, because there was no need to. He really wanted Ye Xuan's first Gate of Heaven, because this Gate of Heaven had something that he coveted very much.
Boom!
Eternal Shadow's five fingers suddenly stretched out, but before he could grab Ye Xuan's Gate of Heaven, something extremely shocking happened!
Boom!
A terrifying death ray erupted from Ye Xuan's chest and blasted towards Eternal Shadow with an unstoppable might. A black mottled ancient mirror appeared from Ye Xuan's chest. This was the item that Liu Baiyi had given Ye Xuan while he was unconscious.
It was protecting its master!
No, it was not protecting its master. It was as if this ancient black mirror contained Liu Baiyi's will. When a great crisis threatened Ye Xuan, this ancient black mirror automatically displayed its terrifying might.
"Hmph!"
Eternal Shadow's aura was stifled. In the next moment, a cold snort sounded. The death ray from his five fingers exploded, and the ancient black mirror wailed and fell to the ground with a bang. The forbidden power that erupted from it had completely dissipated.
If it were an absolute powerhouse, the ancient black mirror would indeed be a great threat. However, Eternal Shadow was a true forbidden character. How could he be forced to retreat by a mere forbidden item?
Boom!
Eternal Shadow's five fingers suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan's Gate of Heaven and pulled it in front of him. His scarlet eyes were filled with excitement. His withered hand suddenly reached into the Gate of Heaven as if he was grabbing something.
"It really is the profound meaning of reincarnation!"
In the next moment, the Ancient Shadow let out an excited roar. His scarlet eyes flickered violently as a trace of mysterious splendor was grabbed out by him. Ye Xuan's first Heaven Gate violently shook, and with a loud bang, it directly exploded into pieces in the air.
Pfft!
Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of essence blood. His face was extremely pale. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. However, Ye Xuan's tenacious will supported himself. He did not want to become weak and collapse. Even more so, he did not want Eternal Shadow to see him as a joke.
However, blood continued to flow from Ye Xuan's mouth. The destruction of the Gate of Heaven was a heavy blow to his foundation. Ye Xuan's mind was in a daze. Although his cultivation did not fall by much, there was no possibility of it increasing.
"Good, good, good!"
The Eternal Shadow didn't even glance at Ye Xuan. He held a trace of mysterious splendor in his hand, and a terrifying taboo energy violently churned. His scarlet eyes seemed to be admiring the most beautiful treasure in the world.
"Fulfill your promise!"
Ye Xuan forced himself not to faint. Losing his first Gate of Heaven was a heavy blow to him. However, he stared fixedly at Eternal Shadow, waiting for him to fulfill his promise.
Perhaps it was Ye Xuan's words that caused the Eternal Shadow to turn around. He infused the mysterious light in his hand into his body and a trace of vitality actually appeared on his body. Although it was only a flash, it made the Eternal Shadow look somewhat different.
After doing all this, Eternal Shadow seemed to exhale in satisfaction. Then, he looked calmly at Ye Xuan and said, "I just told you that no one can save you because of the forbidden power. I'm not lying to you. It's the truth."
"Are you toying with me?"
In the next moment, Ye Xuan's eyes were still and sinister. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. A killing intent he had never felt before erupted from Ye Xuan.
Facing Ye Xuan's killing intent, the Eternal Shadow wasn't affected in the slightest. Instead, he continued indifferently, "You can't imagine how vast the chaos is. The so-called taboo is not tolerated by the chaos. Although I am one of the taboo, everyone's taboo power is different. Even if I personally went to save him, he would still turn into ashes and die under the counteraction of the two taboo powers. That's why I said that no one can save him from the taboo."
