Above Destiny

Chapter 731: Transformation
Pan Ying is warming up, Blood Wrist is loading!
Even before Minkler started acting, Ji Jue had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to start filming.

Two times, four times, eight times, sixteen times... Let's start with a simple two hundred and fifty-six times, and then, with a swift stroke, the knife falls, with a swift stroke, the knife falls.

The simple, straightforward, and boring process of repeating a grade is a recipe for disaster.

It's not about knowing a thousand moves, but about mastering one. For most opponents, even Ji Jue doesn't need to use any moves.

Pan Ying opens the can, Jing Zhen finishes it off, and at most, Zhan Lu can be added to break defense and reduce health.

Just as Sino was about to escape, Ji Jue made a sudden move, taking down all sixteen of Sino's followers from back to front without sparing a single one, and then waited for Sino to pass the sword to him.

In less than two seconds, a bloody gust of wind swept past, turning the stands crimson.

The artisans, who had seemed like tourists, suddenly erupted and, like a large group, slaughtered everyone right before their eyes with an even more outrageous efficiency than a large group.

The sound of shattering echoed incessantly as Pan Ying easily broke through layers of defenses, hovering right in front of Seno, inches away.

But then it came to an abrupt end.

Because Sino had already knelt on the ground without hesitation.

Purely instinctive reaction.

Kneel down!

In the instant he tried to resist, an invisible spiritual hand appeared out of thin air from inside his body and gently grasped Seno's heart.

Under the craftsman's ambiguous gaze, an invisible hand eagerly and lightly weighed it.

Jing Zhen is poised to act.

Only then did the others, still in shock, finally react.

Before he could even berate Ji Jue for disregarding the rules of the Seven Cities and daring to make a move in this situation, he was already instinctively enraged and glared at Seno, who was kneeling on the ground!

"How come I didn't see that coming, Seno!"

Ma Cheng's representative's expression twitched, whether from schadenfreude or lingering fear, he forced out a voice through gritted teeth: "You're a real ruthless guy!"

"What exactly does the Sukarno family want to do! Are they trying to drag the Seven Cities into a quagmire and turn them into a battlefield for the Federation?!"

"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"

The most anxious person at this moment was the representative of the Yamen, who had just been on the same side as Sukarno. Almost instinctively, he drew his sword, pointed it at Sino's face, and his eyes were bloodshot: "How dare you, you old dog, bully me! From today onwards, Yamen and Ro Island are sworn enemies!"

"Me too!"

The representative of Dancheng roared, "How dare they tamper with the Blood Feud Trial and pull such a stunt! Dancheng will not tolerate this! Since the Sucano family has severed ties with the Seven Cities, from this day forward, they are the common enemy of the Seven Cities!"

Cut it, cut it hard!
If you don't cut ties now, you'll be the one cut ties with everyone else!
At this moment, after the truth was exposed, the most panicked and anxious people were not Sino, but Yamen and Dancheng, who had been pulled onto the same boat by Houli and Xunuo.

We're just allies, not father and son. Even fathers and sons can turn against each other, let alone these so-called brothers.

If Lou Yanyue really dies under mysterious circumstances, then the die is cast, and both families, caught in a bind, will have no choice but to accept their misfortune.

But now that their identities have been exposed, and the three Xu brothers have been revealed by Lou Feng's bombshell revelation, their true forms laid bare in broad daylight, the nature of the matter has changed...

Even if the Xu family had openly and honestly killed Lou Yanyue, they would have taken responsibility for their actions, and they couldn't blame Qicheng!
It's clear that they're using these scoundrels from Seven Cities to do the dirty work, and then making them take the blame, sell their children, blood, and bodies to bear the consequences!
Just thinking about the consequences makes everyone's anus feel as tight as a vise.

You bastard, you really dare to do that!

Who gave you the courage?

Lu Changsheng!

"Sino, speak."

Fernand's face turned ashen as he demanded, "You dare to do it but not admit it?"

"...When dragons and tigers fight, what can I do?"

Seno looked up at the changing lights in the sky and gave a bitter laugh: "To be someone's dog, do we have a choice?"

He paused for a moment, looked at Minkler, and said with resentment, "Besides, we're all dogs, so if the Chopras can do it, why can't I?"
It's nothing more than the victor taking all and the loser dying; the winner lives and the loser dies!

But don't get too excited, everyone...

He forced out the words through gritted teeth: "Now that things have come to this, I might not be the one who loses!"

boom!
Before the words were even finished, three screams erupted from the sky.

The hoarse, shrill, and monotonous voices overlapped and echoed endlessly, so mournful.

Countless purplish-black spiritual blood poured down like a torrential downpour, covering the sky and the earth, falling on the ground and into the sea, from which one after another, wailing and indistinct spirits slowly rose.

High above in the heavens, Bifang laughed wildly.

In the stands, in the dead silence, everyone looked at Seno with pity.

Only Ji Jue kindly reached out and patted his shoulder, offering words of comfort:

"You can be."

lose?
How to lose?
Ji Jue went to great lengths to prepare the nest, using both Lou Yanyue and Lou Feng, and even betting on the King of Flies. The Lou family, too, couldn't catch a wolf without risking their cubs.

The one who takes the bait first has already lost half the battle. Besides, even disregarding all the previous arrangements, were the reinforcements from the Lou family just there to do nothing?
Lou Zhaoye and Lou Yuling, just by their names, you can tell they are of the same generation as Lou Yanyue, and in terms of age, Lou Zhaoye is at least twenty years older than her!

The reason they weren't chosen as the authentic successors of the Five Towers and Twelve Cities is simply because they weren't suitable, not because they were bad!
Over the years, we've fought tooth and nail, our brains practically turned to mush. It's no exaggeration to say that our hatred runs deep. We've finally got this chance to beat a dog when it's down. If we let this sure thing slip away, that would be truly outrageous!
Leaving aside Lou Yanyue's relentless bombardment, Lou Zhaoye immediately unleashed his ultimate move, expanding his domain and exploding into a constantly shifting stream of light that enveloped the sky. Countless chains descended from the heavens, rose from the ocean, and extended from the void, crisscrossing the heavens.

On the chains, ripples of spiritual energy spread like waves, filling the sea and sky and reaching everything.

When waves of completely different nature collide, they trigger a new qualitative change, creating new ripples, which then evolve, collide again, and explode once more.

Unlike Lou Yanyue's pure destruction, which was a pure impact on the soul and consciousness, this time, the infinite quantities collided rapidly, triggering a frenzied qualitative leap.

After the reborn form of the Dragon-Binding Lock reached the Transcendent level, it completed the Realm of Dragon Slaying Platform!
Once you step into it, you will only be reduced to ashes in endless impact.

Heavenly punishment, descend!
The ripples after just three collisions were enough to cause the palace-like realm to tremble. The thunder after five intensifications was enough to cause cracks to appear on the body of the three-headed demon god. The impact after seven qualitative changes was something that even the three Xu brothers could barely withstand by working together. The explosion after nine evolutions was something they had to avoid.

But where can they hide?

Heaven and earth seemed to be upside down, and the four directions were in disarray. The mirror-like reflections in the void had turned the entire sea area into a maze, where up was not up, down was not down, forward was not forward, and backward was not backward.

Even Lou Yanyue has become three, each one real and true. Countless chains in the void are real and fake, constantly moving about, and even the true body cannot be found.

Lou Feng is now focused on logistics. On the Prosperity, tons of spiritual crystals are being burned in the Spirit Furnace. Even the residue with too many impurities after it's half-burned is discarded and replaced with new ones. Through the spiritual connection of the Star of Bethlehem, he is diligently offering blue crystals to his uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Sorry, our spiritual shaping services are always shared and we never take any precautions.

Blue bar sharing, kid!
"Ha, it's really nice to have a craftsman in the family." Lou Zhaoye laughed heartily, "Afeng has really grown up!"

“Indeed.” Lou Yuling nodded in agreement: “I’ve watched Xiao Feng grow up since he was little. He’s good in every way, except… sigh…”

"Sigh, sigh..." Lou Zhaoye couldn't help but sigh softly, "Embers..."

"Hey……"

Lou Yanyue nodded repeatedly, sighing deeply.

Lou Feng's face turned green: Lou Yanyue, what the hell are you talking about!

Besides, what did I, a craftsman, do to you...?

What's wrong with me, Ember!
“You can’t say that, and you can’t blame Lou Feng entirely.” A dog barked over the spiritual communication channel: “He wasn’t like this before; he was always very polite to me.”

"How dare you say that?!"

Lou Feng could no longer contain himself. In a fit of rage, he launched into a tirade of birdsong and floral chants, a non-stop stream of words, until he noticed the deathly silence on the channel. Finally, tears streamed down his face.

Then, I realized something was wrong...

"No, my house is encrypted with spiritual energy, how did you get in!"

"Huh? Isn't it public knowledge?"

A voice that shouldn't have been there at all was filled with innocence: "That lock was easy to open, no problem at all... I thought you were testing our teamwork!"

I'll remain silent—

Lou Feng was completely flustered, but Lou Zhaoye and Lou Yuling didn't seem to care at all, and Lou Yanyue was already greeting them with a laugh.

Suddenly, Lou Feng felt a sense of insignificance, wondering if he should be at the bottom of the ship.

"Hey, it's nothing much. I just recently got a batch of equipment from Wulou Temple and I want to test the waters and try to make a living."

The beggar's hateful voice laughed: "Give me some, give me some—"

Before the words were finished, a thick, curtain-like mist suddenly appeared between the sea and the sky, filling every corner. Then, the malice within the pale mist turned into pitch black!
The ubiquitous chanting and murmurs have already resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Within the curtain, countless spirits of the Lord of the Flies rose and appeared like sparks, chanting in unison:
"At that time, the Holy See of the Savior told Isis: Beyond the Land of All Transformations, past ten trillion heterogeneous nodes, there is a paradise called the Garden of Blessings. In that land there is a cluster called the Lord of Flies, who is now preaching the Dharma... Seven firewalls, seven verifications, seven load balancing nodes, all surrounded by the three phases, hence that country is called Paradise..."

There are all sorts of amazing equipment: ultra-precision machine tools, servers, workstations, milling machines, lathes, drilling centers, laser cutting centers...

Amidst the rising and falling, dense chants, those incredibly tiny souls merged into one, transforming themselves to faintly outline a magnificent and vast silhouette within the curtain.

Calipers, wrenches, WD40, tape, hacksaw, file, vise, and other essential tools were on display.

Countless concentric circles and patterns nested within each other, rotating and swirling, constantly shifting and changing. Silver gleams and iron light shines everywhere, seemingly covering the Desire Realm, the Form Realm, and the Formless Realm—pervading all!
"I--"

In a moment of shock, Lou Zhaoye almost couldn't help but swear.

While others might not recognize them despite both being promoted, how could he not?!
The magnificent structure formed by the combination of countless spirits of creation within the curtain is clearly the secret of Wulou Temple, the truest of the true teachings, the core of the core!

——【Mandala】!
Even though it may seem to have many flaws, be somewhat distorted and changed, and not even within the Vajradhatu or Garbhadhatu realms, a mandala is still a mandala, a secret ritual of ascension that can gather countless souls to worship the central deity!

But at this moment, the deity enshrined inside is not any guru at all, but rather hands with ten fingers that bloom like lotus flowers, as if supporting the sky and covering the earth, bringing everything in the mortal world into their palms.

Control all things!

From ascension to embers, it's all been strung together, but after all that, this hodgepodge of programs can still run! That's just unbelievable!
Where did you come from to absorb the true teachings of the Wulou Temple? How could you have reversed the cultivation of evil arts to this extent?!
The moment the mandala appeared, the hands behind the curtain changed instantly, the left hand pointing to the sky and the right hand pointing to the earth. In a sudden turn of events, it was as if a black hole had descended.

An invisible vortex emerged from the curtain, causing the blood and spiritual energy from the cracks in the three-headed demon's body to continuously spill out and gush forth, violently devouring, absorbing, and transforming.

The purplish-black blood fell into the curtain, instantly assimilated into silver light and iron ash, becoming part of the mandala and nourishing the Fly Lord's spirit within. The strengthened Fly Lord's spirit, in turn, made the mandala even more stable.

As he stepped on his right foot with his left, the suction became stronger and stronger, and the gravity became more and more exaggerated, until the vortex turned into a storm.

Meanwhile, countless low chanting voices resounded throughout the heavens and earth, continuously instilling a whole set of fallacies and heresies into the mind and consciousness of the three-headed demon, causing iron light to appear above the heads of many remnant spirits within the palace circle, kneeling on the ground, chanting along with the Fly King.

Even the three Xu brothers' techniques began to show slight deviations...

Transition!

The scene that the former rivals of Wulou Temple feared most has appeared: with the mandala completed, the heretics will naturally be converted! Conversely, they will be led to convert to Buddhism...

No, you, an ember, are turning around and starting to transform and ascend?!

No, is this reasonable?!

Lou Zhaoye couldn't take his eyes off it. He'd been out in the world for so many years, what hadn't he seen? But this kind of bizarre plot was truly a first for him!
"That evil... cough cough, heretic, why haven't you subdued him yet!"

Ji Jue's somewhat hesitant voice rang out from behind the curtain, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, solemnly declaring: "Quickly convert to the true Dharma!"

Instantly, countless spirits of the Fly Lords within the mandala cried out in unison, shouting and praising with joy: "I take refuge in the worker! I take refuge in the factory! I take refuge in the forced labor law! I take refuge in the supreme blessings and supreme mechanical descent!"

I pledge my allegiance to you—

Cracks appeared on the face of the three-headed demon wearing a bronze mask.

Even the Xu family couldn't help but start swearing!

What is mockery? What is humiliation? What is a damn disgrace?
Being beaten down by the Lou family is one thing, losing the initiative and falling into a disadvantageous position is also understandable if word gets out. But for some Yu Jin to come and play the conversion game with him is even more humiliating than being hung up and played with live by four gay guys for three months!

"This is too much!"

Xu Lingwei roared angrily.

The dark clouds beneath the feet of the ghosts and gods swelled and rolled, and from the endless tide of resentment and venom, a massive number of malevolent spirits erupted.

Above the three heads of the demon, bronze, silver and gold masks appeared respectively, all with four eyes, and all were manifestations of the reborn form.

The raging demon appears to be one, but it is actually three brothers: Xu Lingwei, Xu Lingyue, and Xu Lingshou!

The triplets were blessed by a secret ritual before they were born. Even though there were three of them, they were of one mind and body. The superior invocation they received, the matrix they received, and the blessings they chose were all identical. Even their rebirth forms were exactly the same, and their realms all pointed to the same domain.

As a result, the Trinity completely shares the reborn form and realm, and whether it is murder, arson or conspiracy, they always advance and retreat together.

This is why, with the cooperation of three people, they can unleash power far exceeding that of three people alone. Even if the situation deteriorates to this point, they can still passively defend and escape, thus wasting time.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have been blasted to dust by the Lou family in a single move!

The three of them work together seamlessly, without even needing to communicate or exchange ideas; it has long since become instinctive.

They all made up their minds in unison!

We can't delay any longer...

Being dragged down and worn down is a minor matter; being converted by a mere ember would likely condemn the Xu family to the pillar of shame for their ascension, making them a laughingstock among the chosen ones!

The three heads opened their eyes, and Fang Xiang was furious. On his six arms, he held a command flag, a law ruler, an imperial bell, a master's knife, a blood seal, and a bone sword, all of which rang in unison!

Damn it, I'm going to expose you guys!
