I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 767 Victory in the Great Battle, Dismemberment and Death?
In the midst of chaos, all was darkness.

Only a faint "Qi Dao Seal" floated within.

This "Qi Dao Seal" is the first wisp of "Qi" in this chaotic world at its creation. It can control the chaotic Qi and transform it into boundless killing power, making it extremely terrifying.

Yet, amidst the chaos, a gray-white dragon, its body resembling a dragon formed from countless boulders, had gray-white clouds rising above its head.

Within these clouds, destiny flows and transforms into seal script.

If your breath doesn't flow, your heart will be burdened.

This is an extremely mysterious destiny, formed from the core of a giant star. It can stop the flow of all "qi," but its drawbacks are also enormous, as it will lead to a great mental tribulation.

However, on the scales of this dragon, the light of destiny flowed, and a more mysterious power emerged, temporarily isolating all the drawbacks.

The drawbacks of fate are isolated, and the principles of Qi are fixed.

He subdued the entire chaos, yet there was no joy in his eyes, only a deep sense of solemnity and apprehension.

Because in his perception, destiny had shattered.

The life he bestowed upon the other three dragon lords vanished abruptly after ten breaths, leaving not a trace.

Fate dissipated, yet the primordial chaos remained undamaged.

This means that the Chaos Calamity has never been broken.

The formation did not falter in the slightest.

Failed!
The method of destiny has failed!
He couldn't explain why he failed, because his path of destiny had succeeded, and the "Qi Dao Seal" before him had been fixed in place. As long as he could break this seal, everything should have ended.

But since things had come to this, he had no time to think about it anymore.

The situation has reached its most critical point. If this formation cannot be broken and the person is trapped inside, there is a risk of death and annihilation!
This is the Heavenly Palace's top-tier celestial array, its power surpassing all other heavens.

"Break it for me!"

He roared, and countless spiritual lights appeared on his scales, converging at his tail.

This force was extremely vast, as if millions of stars were gushing forth and converging in one place.

Its terrifying power is enough to shatter the universe and smash everything apart.

He wanted to shatter the Dao seals before him, break the chaotic killing calamity, and seize the opportunity to leave this formation.

"boom!!!"

The dragon's tail fell, shaking the chaos.

However, it did not strike the "Qi Dao Zhuan" itself.

In the vast chaos, a frail human figure appeared, seemingly as insignificant as an ant compared to the body of a true dragon.

He gently raised his hand, and boundless power emerged from his arm. The terrifying power seemed to transform into a world, blocking the terrifying dragon's tail.

"boom!!"

In an instant, chaos surged, and the frail figure was sent flying tens of thousands of feet, crashing through countless chaotic energies.

The figure raised its arm with immense power, a full-force attack from a ninth-tier physical body.

But the Dark Star Dragon Lord had long since abandoned his dragon body and used stars as his physical form. Now, this dragon body has been formed by devouring countless broken star cores and exhausting countless efforts.

Its power is even greater than that of a dragon's body. Even the dragon lords of the Dragon Court would find it difficult to contend with it, let alone this human body that has only recently entered the ninth rank.

"Gu Yuan?!"

But there was no joy in Dark Star Dragon Lord's eyes.

This ninth-tier human did indeed lose to him in a physical contest, but that was all.

His physical body was filled with boiling blood and qi, like the sun. Even if he flew ten thousand feet, he was still extremely vigorous and had not suffered any serious injury.

Among humans, there are not many with such a physical body.

In that fleeting glimpse, he had already sensed the various destinies within that figure!

Gu Yuan!

My ultimate goal in becoming a star!
"hold head high!"

He didn't know why Gu Yuan was here instead of guarding the array's core, nor did he know what had happened in the chaos, but he knew that this was his chance.

If they can devour Gu Yuan and break the Dao seal, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Hoohoo!"

A surge of killing intent erupted, and a thick scale on his forehead fell off, instantly turning into mist that flowed above his head.

Within this misty atmosphere, destiny flowed, directly condensing into several mysterious seal characters.

"Defeating the formidable enemy, yet facing certain death."

It's yet another extremely mysterious destiny.

When this destiny is activated, it can unleash boundless power, aided by the myriad mysterious forces of heaven and earth, enabling one to slay formidable enemies. However, an unavoidable calamity will follow.

This destiny, like Gu Yuan's "Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation" destiny, is a mysterious destiny that uses future life as a price to specifically overcome immediate life-or-death enemies.

However, the mystery of this destiny is even greater than the "Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation," and it is one of the trump cards that Dark Star Dragon Lord uses to protect his life.

It is also one of the fruits of his many years of spiritual practice.

"Boom!"

As expected, the moment this destiny was unleashed, the vast chaos trembled, as if some strange and powerful force beneficial to the Dragon Lord was being born, about to help him kill his enemies.

But from the darkness came a soft laugh: "A mere pseudo-fate, yet you dare to kill the true chosen one?"

That soft laugh carried an indescribable power.

The immense power that had been shaking the chaos suddenly ceased.

The so-called destiny seems to have never existed.

Before Dark Star Dragon Lord could ponder the reasons for all these changes, a single word inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

"Holy!"

The great calamity is for saints; one should not encounter the existence of a being with the word "saint" in this life.

This was his destined death!

"How could this be?"

Upon seeing this word, the shock in his heart finally surfaced.

He cultivated for three thousand years, comprehending countless laws of destiny, before finally achieving success.

Not only can it manipulate fate in the void, but it can also suppress the drawbacks of fate. All the drawbacks of fate can be brought to a head without being triggered, and can be gradually eliminated.

That is why he activated the destiny of "overcoming a formidable enemy, but facing certain death."

But now, in the blink of an eye, the flaws of fate have already erupted.

圣？
Where is the character "圣" (sacred/holy)?

What is a death calamity?

Dark Star Dragon Lord was extremely anxious and couldn't help but want to understand the reason behind all this, but the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became.

In a daze, he seemed to have transformed into a weak and ignorant child, helpless in the face of danger.

In his panic, he suddenly realized that his dragon body, formed from a star core and never fading like an eternal body, had developed the marks of time, as if his end was near.

"Looking at the heavens through the array, one cannot guarantee longevity!"

In a flash of inspiration, he understood the reason for this change.

Looking up at the heavens and observing the formations, one cannot guarantee their lifespan; this means the flaws of a precarious lifespan are manifesting within oneself.

Why the panic? Why the helplessness? Why the anxiety but no clue how to respond?

"If your breath doesn't flow, your heart will be burdened!"

The mental tribulation also erupted, resulting in a loss of mental strength, making it difficult to cope with anything.

Moreover, all the ills of fate that had not been eliminated in the past have now erupted.

Lifespan was slipping away, mind was becoming lost, and the calamity of death was erupting, but Dark Star Dragon Lord suddenly had an epiphany and looked at the figure standing in the vast chaos, whose features were not clearly visible.

Whether it was due to the sudden onset of all the ills of fate that he was in a daze, or because of the veil of chaos that made him unable to see clearly, he only felt that the person was neither old nor young, neither male nor female, like the beginning of time, and he could not tell the difference.

Only countless golden lights emerged within that person's body, sacred and boundless, with all destinies forming a wheel behind them.

He seems to be the true master of destiny, capable of controlling all fates in the world, and especially capable of defeating all "empty and false destinies".

The Way of Destiny, the Supreme Authority.

"So this is where my death was supposed to be..."

The moment this thought arose in his mind, the "Qi Dao Zhuan" regained its power amidst the chaos.

Qi is a blade, qi is thunder, qi is fire, qi is calamity...

The chaotic energy, though still energy, transformed into countless killing calamities, which fell upon the body of Dark Star Dragon Lord.

The Dark Star Dragon Lord, already suffering numerous calamities of fate, could no longer resist; even his dragon body, formed from a star core, was useless.

Everything seemed predestined.

Those who manipulate fate will ultimately be manipulated by fate. Another ninth-tier Dragon Lord has fallen in the Dragon Court!
Seeing this, Gu Yuan chuckled and with a flick of his sleeve, both his and Dark Star Dragon Lord's corpses vanished.

A son of a thousand pieces of gold will not sit under a leaning roof; a son of a hundred pieces of gold will not ride on a crossbar.

As he said, there was no danger in this battle against Dark Star Dragon Lord.

With the Holy Infant Fruit present, this still incomplete Void Life Manipulation Technique was utterly unable to contend with him.

……

……

"call!"

Outside the great formation, Zhuyin Dragon Lord suddenly opened his eyes, revealing unparalleled fury.

The soul lamp went out.

Three of the soul lamps left behind by the four Dragon Lords before they entered the formation went out almost simultaneously.

No spiritual light flew out from within the immortal array.

The results speak for themselves.

The Three Dragon Lords have fallen!

"hateful!!"

The Dragon Lord of Candlelight's eyes blazed with true fire, shattering the void and revealing his extreme rage.

"call!"

But before he could vent his anger, another remaining soul lamp went out.

Sixteenth brother, Dark Star Dragon Lord!

This unconventional and rebellious fellow disciple, on whom he had placed high hopes, had also perished, not even a wisp of his soul escaping.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As Dark Star Dragon Lord fell, the remaining Dragon Lords once again experienced a series of explosions.

The Reflecting Dragon Pivot Pearl shattered!
"It's that human immortal lord. He moves freely within the immortal array, manipulating chaos and fabricating laws of the Dao. I am powerless to resist him!"

A dragon lord let out a roar of resentment.

But at the same time, there was also a lingering sense of fear.

The so-called resistance against the chaotic calamity is nothing but a facade.

They simply didn't have that kind of power. Now that the Dragon Lord's true body had died, it would be a piece of cake for that person to free up his hands and destroy the clone.

"boom!"

"boom!"

One after another, the shadow beads exploded, signifying the tragic death of the Dragon Lord's avatar and the shattering of the Dragon Court's treasures.

In the blink of an eye, only the one on the head of the Candle Dragon Lord remained out of the twelve Shadow Beads.

Zhuyin Dragon Lord does not cultivate destiny, nor is he particularly proficient in the art of formations, but his strength is the greatest among all the dragons here. He has a solid foundation, which is why he is the most capable of resisting the Chaos Calamity.

"boom!"

But he no longer dared to resist.

Eleven Shadow Beads shattered, and four Dragon Lords perished tragically, leaving only ten Dragon Lords, equal to the number of Immortal Lords in the Primordial Star.

This is no longer a matter of pursuit.

The offense and defense are alien!
If we stay any longer, I'm afraid we'll destroy the very foundation of the Dragon Court!

"go!"

His roar made his dragon blood surge, almost overflowing from his scales, but he forcibly suppressed it, detonating the Shadow Pearl and his clones, then tearing through the void and shouting to the dragons around him.

The dragon lords were all shocked and furious, but at this point, there was nothing they could do.

I have no choice but to leave for now.

Fourteen dragon lords launched an attack, but were blocked by the immortal formation. They tried their best to break the formation, but four dragon lords died tragically.

In a single day, the Dragon Court lost eight Dragon Lords.

This is a ninth-tier being, a top-tier expert below the Dragon Ancestor.

Such a loss would be difficult for even the most supreme bloodline to bear.

At this point, the Dragon Court no longer had the ability to attack the Heavenly Palace and was likely only able to defend the last four great stars.

Enraged, Zhuyin Dragon Lord couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Eight Dragon Lords! The Dragon Court and the Dragon Ancestors actually just stood by and watched such a loss without doing anything!
If things continue like this, is there any hope left for the Dragon Court?

No matter what he thought, he couldn't change the reality and had no choice but to leave.

The void shattered, and the ten Dragon Lords hurriedly left this place, leaving only the "Primordial Star" standing in the darkness, seemingly indestructible.

……

……

"They've actually slain four more Dragon Lords..."

Amidst the vast chaos, Immortal Lord Cheng Guang watched everything unfolding within the formation and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

His original purpose was merely to delay the Dragon Court's attack and prevent more immortal lords from falling into the calamity.

However, he lacked confidence in this, which is why he prepared the [Other Shore Immortal Sect].

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan's methods were so ruthless that he killed four more Dragon Lords, completely thwarting the Dragon Court's attack.

After this battle, unless the Dragon Court wants to wage a full-scale war and uses all its strength, it will be difficult to compete with the Heavenly Palace.

Did the Heavenly Battle Division truly manage to stop the Dragon Court with the power of a single division?
Even the Immortal Lord Cheng Guang felt it was unreal.

However, the four dragon corpses in the chaos could not be faked.

"Junior brother's array formations and the Dao of Destiny have truly reached a divine level. There is nothing to worry about in the future."

Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Miaoyuan couldn't help but admire it.

"It's a pity that it lost this power once it left the formation, otherwise it could have killed one or two more Dragon Lords."

As Immortal Lord Fuchen looked at the mended void, regret filled his eyes.

This is a rare opportunity to swiftly and decisively kill a ninth-tier dragon lord.

If they miss this opportunity, the Dragon Court will likely retreat completely and will not fight again.

"We have done our best to achieve this result..."

Gu Yuan returned to the central lotus platform and smiled at those around him.

The Dragon Lords of the Dragon Court were not without wisdom or means; Gu Yuan had not expected that the Reflecting Dragon Pivot Pearl would substitute for his true form in the formation.

Therefore, he could only sell the flaws in the immortal formation to trick the Dragon Lord into entering the formation.

But that was only enough to fool the four dragons.

After all, there are only three True Dragon Lotus plants; any more and the formation will likely be broken.

"It's a pity that the three dragon corpses have already turned into dust, otherwise it would truly be a great achievement. But even so, it's still a great fortune for you, Junior Brother Donghua..."

Immortal Lord Cheng Guang smiled slightly in the golden palace.

They already knew that Gu Yuan was destined to devour dragons.

And there is no doubt who contributed the most in this battle.

Although the nine Primordial Green Lotuses were bestowed upon him, without Gu Yuan, this battle would not have yielded such results.

"The true dragon has set up an array to transform the heavens; this is the only way..."

Gu Yuan felt regretful upon hearing this.

However, exchanging three dragon corpses for four dragon corpses is still a huge profit.

“My fellow disciples have also contributed a great deal. Let us take one dragon together, and then use some of its bones and scales to refine treasures. The rest of the dragon's corpse is yours to deal with, junior brother. What do you say?”

Immortal Lord Cheng Guang pointed to the four dragon corpses in the chaos and discussed with Gu Yuan.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

The battle was very successful, but it was not solely Gu Yuan's achievement. It was only right that the spoils be shared.

Gu Yuan naturally had no objection.

The immortals nodded in agreement.

But suddenly, a voice rang out: "Junior brother, how is your cultivation of the Dao of Destiny? Do you possess a method of manipulating fate like that of the Dark Star Dragon Lord?"
