Chapter 199: The Art of Destiny
“You are very powerful! Your divine power is as vast as the brilliant sea of stars. However, in the final analysis, you are just a small cultivator from the first level of the Immortal Realm! It is impossible for you to defeat the crystallization of wisdom condensed by countless sages in our Eternal Star Domain over countless years!” Lantobai used his last trump card, a saint-level defensive force field device. With the infusion of endless energy from the divine essence, he seemed to be wearing a layer of immortal armor and was invincible.
He suddenly raised the silver spear in his hand, and displayed the great sage-level spear skills meticulously. Although he did not grasp the essence of it, wherever the spear shadow passed, the sky and the earth changed color, and strange phenomena appeared, as if even the void was shaking.
Zixia's blade and Lan Tuobai's gun tip kept colliding and fighting fiercely. Every collision caused purple lightning in the sky. The energy of the five elements surged, and the power of the avenue's attack became more and more fierce, which was frightening.
Chains of order appeared out of thin air and were shot out by Zixia. They pierced through the void and entangled Lan Tuobai. Light flowed on the chains, and divine radiance was everywhere. Although they could not pierce through the defensive force field, they also entangled the tip of his gun.
Zixia's figure was extremely fast. Between the flashes of swords and shadows, lines containing the truth of heaven and earth exploded in the air and spread out in all directions. As the battle deepened, her breath became more ethereal, as if resonating with the world. On the edge of life and death, she actually realized a kind of transcendent state of mind.
This is the extraordinary thing about the innate Dao fetus. It is born close to the Dao. With every step forward in cultivation, the Dao it touches becomes deeper and more complete. Facing Lan Tuobai's saint-level defense, Zixia fought for a long time without being defeated, but she was not anxious at all. In her mind, various attack methods such as secret techniques and ancient methods flashed through like a revolving lantern, but she felt that she was not strong enough to shake him in the slightest.
"All the laws in the world are just forms, just manifestations of means. Behind all tangible and intangible things there is a corresponding rule." Zixia realized silently. At this moment, she had stepped into the forbidden realm of gods, and her body was surrounded by an ethereal aura that transcended the world.
The scroll of memory slowly unfolded, and bits and pieces of the dimensional world flickered in her mind like stars. At this moment, it was as if a flash of inspiration appeared, and the door of wisdom suddenly opened. The long-lost feeling of understanding the essence of all things once again surged into her heart. Zixia's vision changed drastically. The Lan Tuobai in front of her was no longer the solid entity, but turned into a cloud of countless probability points. Even his indestructible defense field seemed to be eroded by this force, becoming hazy and illusory, like an ocean of probability, magnificent and full of variables.
An unprecedented sense of confidence and enlightenment surged in Zixia's heart. She seemed to have touched some mystery beyond imagination. With just a slight twist of her fingertips, she could guide things onto a different trajectory.
At the same time, in an unknown place in the sky, the breath of creation permeates like mist, and the great way of heaven and earth and the supreme rules are intertwined here, surrounding an ancient and mysterious mark. This mark, like the heart of the universe, records the secrets of the past and the future.
In this instant, a brilliant track miraculously appeared on the mark, like the brightest star in the night sky, suddenly blooming, radiating fairy light, thousands of auspicious colors, decorating the entire space like a dream, extraordinary. This change, like an invisible string, gently plucked the resonance of the entire universe, making the hearts of all living beings tremble, as if the invisible shackles between heaven and earth were quietly loosened, and some corners that were previously inaccessible to the door of cultivation began to surge with vitality, and the rules of heaven and earth seemed to become more tolerant and open at this moment.
"The Golden Age Begins!"
On the Immortal Cliff, Crazy Old Man and Zixia also felt the changes in the world, but they didn't know the reason. Zixia's perception was deeper, and she understood what the power she touched was.
The fierce battle between Zixia and Lan Tuobai was in full swing. Every clash between the blade and the spear tip was accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound that shook the surrounding air. The difference was that Zixia had comprehended something incredible.
"Destiny Replacement!" Zixia called out the name in her heart.
In an instant, the originally indestructible defensive force field of Lan Tuobai's battle suit disappeared like morning mist. At the same time, in Zixia's sea of suffering, a weapon that she had just seized, emitting a faint holy light, suddenly exploded and disappeared into thin air. That was the price she paid for this change of fate. Changing fate, even a fate as small as a speck of dust, often requires unimaginable sacrifices. Zixia only made a subtle adjustment to a small module in Lan Tuobai's defensive force field, and at the cost of an intact holy weapon, if Zixia did not find something to resist the backlash, I am afraid it would have exploded instantly.
Lan Tuobai, who lost his defense barrier, looked even more embarrassed under Zixia's fierce attacks. Facing Zixia who had stepped into the forbidden realm of the gods, he couldn't even survive two moves.
"Warning! The suit is 101% damaged." A cold voice rang in Lan Tuobai's mind. It was the last wail of his suit. Then, his body was swallowed by a huge wave and fell heavily into the turbulent sea, causing a splash of water, and then it was quickly submerged by the boundless sea water.
"How... did you do that?" Lan Tuobai struggled to raise his head from the sea, his voice filled with fear.
This was an unprecedented terror. A cultivator at the Immortal Stage, using an inexplicable method, crossed an unknown realm gap and broke the defense of a holy weapon.
The old madman present also wanted to know how Zixia did it. He frowned and tried to catch a clue from Zixia's move just now. However, even with his ability to deduce at the peak of the Saint King, he was unable to foresee the slightest bit of what Zixia had shown.
Lan Tuobai struggled to get back to land from the cold sea water, exhausted, and collapsed next to the other captives. He was convinced of his defeat. Suddenly, an unprecedented thought came to his mind. He stood up suddenly, staggered to Zixia, and knelt on his knees, with a humble and determined attitude.
"Master, everything I have belongs to you!" The bones on his forehead suddenly became crystal clear, as if shrouded by a mysterious force. At the same time, the immortal platform in his body began to spasm violently, and powerful waves of power emanated from his body.
Driven by Lan Tuobai's will, his crystal clear sea of consciousness slowly separated from his body, suspended in the air, flashing with dazzling light. The sea of consciousness contained Lan Tuobai's life memories, cultivation and secrets, which were now displayed in front of Zixia without reservation.
"Master! Please believe me! There must be something in here that interests you." Lan Tuobai's voice was filled with a hint of pleading, "Please give me a chance, so that I can follow you till death! I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"
Zixia gently probed into Lan Tuobai's crystal clear sea of consciousness. Her consciousness was as delicate and sharp as a thread, and she instantly captured the true thoughts deep in Lan Tuobai's heart. Just as she expected, Lan Tuobai really wanted to belong sincerely. His trust and admiration for Zixia came from his deep understanding of Zixia's strength - he believed that Zixia was more powerful than Daoyi and more likely to achieve the supreme way. This belief was an idea that Lan Tuobai could not hide.
A complex life, a wonderful country, and unique life experiences...all pass by one by one.
In the end, Zixia only chose some key things and the wisdom that would help her attain enlightenment, and erased all other memories that did not belong to her.
