Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 1074: The Gate of Hungry Ghosts

Beneath the scorching white sun, shadows criss-crossed in the abyss. Xiao An flew through them and various memories of the past filled her mind, leading to faint ripples.

She gripped the Buddha Slaying sword without any sorrow or joy, flying along at a steady pace. The stone bridges all collapsed. As she swung her sword, she cut down all the Ghost Kings that blocked her path until she reached the very bottom of the Myriad Ghosts abyss, above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

The legendary Gate of Hungry Ghosts was not shaped like a gate, but a small lake instead. It spanned just five kilometers across, and it was surrounded with neat piles of obsidian, engraved with various different patterns that formed a perfect circle. It kept the gate firmly sealed.
