Above Destiny

Chapter 760 The Hook Thief is Punished
Snapped!
Another crack suddenly appeared on the cover of the Book of Conviction, and between the pages, countless scarlet words gathered together changed, overlapped, and unfolded once more.

It's like an eye looking down from above.

Distant and indifferent.

Disdain for dust.

Lord Yuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The moment that eye appeared, the Book of Conviction, which had been invincible for hundreds of years and acted as if it were his own arm, actually broke free from his control. Not only could it no longer bring Ji Jue to justice through his countless sins, but it instead locked onto him instead.

Immediately afterwards, jet-black characters rose from the page like flames, terrifying and violent, as if the wrath of the heavens had struck!
[Extremely evil!]
Those who commit ten heinous crimes will be pardoned, and their entire families will be exterminated for a hundred other offenses!
The deepest mechanism of the Book of Conviction, a terrifying power that even he could not easily wield, was instantly triggered. It was as if countless blades and shackles surrounded him, an abyss opened beneath his feet, and endless flames soared into the sky from the illusion.

In the moment before he was shattered to pieces and reduced to ashes, he only had time to make a painful decision!

boom! ! !
The Abyss Lord's body exploded with a deafening roar, along with the Book of Conviction in his hand. Relying on the control and erosion of the tyrannical laws accumulated over so many years, he made a drastic sacrifice!
Before the Book of Conviction is triggered, detonate and destroy this body, most of its power, and even the Book of Conviction itself!
In the vast abyss, the sounds of breaking were incessant, and screams echoed like a tide.

Over the centuries, countless magnificent palaces he had accumulated crumbled, and the scale-transformers exploded into clouds of blood mist amidst terrified screams.

In an instant, the ocean churned violently, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

On the shattered throne, the Lord of the Abyss struggled to regroup, looking around with trepidation, still shaken, his vision blurring.

I don't understand. The vibrant, thriving scene is still vivid in my mind, how could it suddenly...

and many more!

Something seems wrong.

Why……

He stiffly raised his head and felt the cold gaze cast upon him from the void.

Ji Jue.

Those eyes are still watching me!

Even though he destroyed the connection in the Book of Conviction and severed his link with Ji Jue, why is his law of usurpation still entangled on Luo Island?!

They couldn't even break free!
When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Whether it's the Heavenly Origin or the Tower, the laws are always intertwined, like countless threads intertwined. How can they be completely severed simply by the so-called "heroic act of cutting off one's own arm" or "quickly cutting through the Gordian knot"?

The tighter you gripped it before, the more firmly it will stick now.

When he tried to let go, he found that his tyrannical law was stuck to the Crimson Sky Foundation as if it were coated with non-stick glue, along with his own authority and soul!
What I felt was a gravitational pull like that of a black hole!

Within the Heavenly Origin, the superior's suppression of the inferior is absolute!
Especially the Eternal Empire, a political system that has never had any concept of fairness or justice, and an absolute rule where power is derived from the top.

Even if Ji Jue didn't have many blessings from the Heavenly Origin, and even if Chi Xiao was just a blank slate, the absolute status of the swordsmith Han Xiang and the Emperor's Hand could still exert absolute suppression on a usurper who had seized power!
At that moment, just as the Crimson Sky Foundation reversed and locked onto the opponent.

Ji Jue's perception had already traversed a vast distance, breaking through the distance between the ocean and the abyss, to sense the location of the tyrant.

even……

It burst through the air!

The moment the location of the Abyss Lord appeared in the perception, the navigation of the Doomsday Special Train had already locked on. In the next instant, less than a snap of the fingers, Ji Jue appeared out of thin air in front of the Abyss Lord.

He grinned at the bewildered, stunned face.

Hello there!

Then... on the vermilion-red Pan Ying, blood light surged and rose, and flames burst forth!

The Blood Arm's inheritance sacrifice was fully activated, burning the lives and souls plundered by the wolves, and the 512x bonus was complete!
You may already be familiar with my mechanics. Now, are you ready to experience my numerical values?
boom! ! !
A blood-red storm erupted out of nowhere from the dark hall.

In less than the blink of an eye, Ji Jue swung his scythe and slashed at that face! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The darkness boiled, and the black mist that had barely coalesced into a human shape emitted thousands of shrill screams, overlapping and echoing endlessly.

With one hand, he grabbed Pan Ying and unleashed a lightning whirlwind slash, a simple and unadorned basic attack interspersed with normal attacks. Ji Jue's other hand wasn't idle either, shouting Jing Zhen! Jing Zhen! Jing Zhen! Jing Zhen!

In the midst of the frenzied rush and fierce attack, they completely destroyed the throne, the palace, and even the blessed artifacts on the Abyss Lord's body.

The sound of cracking was incessant.

Like the lingering echo of a broken heart...

In less than half a second, the health bar and the family fortune evaporated and dissipated at the speed of light. The tyrant didn't even have time to react and could only hear screams coming from his soul.

The people of the Abyss Kingdom, whose population had just been wiped out by a third of its inhabitants, were now facing another undeserved calamity. With each strike of Ji Jue's sword, a dazed, scaled individual exploded into a streak of bloody flame…

Protect the Emperor!

When he sensed the impending crisis, the Lord of the Abyss instinctively used his authority to make his subordinates bear the burden of this sudden harm on his behalf.

By the time he realized just how outrageous Ji Jue's numbers had become, it was already too late!

In that single second, Ji Jue lost count of how many strikes he had made. All he could feel was a series of crimson fireworks rising and falling from the dark abyss, illuminating the gloomy chasm with a scarlet glow, a breathtaking sight.

Sea Abyss Guard, Imperial Scale Guard, Ten Beasts, One Hundred Sea Abyss Species...

It’s gone, all gone!
Over the centuries, the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated was chopped up by Ji Jue, sword after sword, like firewood!

The darkness, torn apart by the blood-red light, suddenly boiled over.

A shrill scream was heard.

I am devastated, as if I have lost my parents!

The tyrant went berserk, and darkness surged forth like a tide. The raging pressure manifested from the tyrant's rejection, transforming into a tidal wave that forcefully pushed away the blood-red storm.

"I want to kill—"

From within the shattered black mist, a pale face covered in fish scales emerged, twitching, with a straight bloodstain on its face, staring intently at Ji Jue with a ferocious expression, roaring loudly!
The sea trembled, and the tyrant was enraged.

The black tide appeared out of thin air from every gap and every wisp of space, ruling over everything, controlling everything, and turning it all into playthings in the palm of its hand.

A raging shadow rose from the ground, transforming into a colossal tower. Upon the tower, the face of the Abyss Lord faintly appeared, looking down upon Ji Jue, who had overestimated himself and intruded into his realm. It was as if he were staring at an insect in the palm of his hand.

Slowly, he clenched his five fingers!
Crush!

It was as if suddenly the whole world was at odds, the sky fell like an iron wall, the earth spewed forth flames to burn everything, and even the air turned into sharp blades, threatening to tear the lungs apart.

In response, Ji Jue simply raised his head and sighed silently.

He raised a finger toward the tyrant.

—The flames of undeath have been waiting for a long time!
The long-suppressed flames erupted violently, raging like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire kingdom, and even spreading along the kingdom to the projection of that hideous tower, penetrating inwards without leaving a trace.

A piercing scream erupted.

It was as if his body, soul, and self had all been thrown into a furnace, and as he was burned by the flames of death, the Abyss Lord's face twisted rapidly, and he screamed.

There was no time for fear and despair. Ignoring the blood storm that was rushing towards him once again, the Lord of the Abyss gritted his teeth and reached out his hand once more!

He who steals a hook will be punished; he who steals a country will become a prince!

As the usurper who seized power, this act of usurpation had long since become second nature to him.

After suffering repeated heavy blows, and now being burned by the flames of death, the Lord of the Abyss chose to fight to the death, with his back against the wall!
"Bring it!"

His palm reached out towards Ji Jue, revealing his usurping authority, and he snatched the Pan Ying from Ji Jue's hands.

Without warning, Ji Jue's hand went empty, and Pan Ying appeared out of thin air in the Abyss Lord's hand.

Even the master-servant relationship has been completely changed, as has the still-functioning legacy burnt offering.

Damn it——

The Lord of the Abyss's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he screamed, feeling as if his soul and life were being frantically ripped out by that strange blade, like a bottomless pit, with no end in sight!

Stop! Stop! Stop right now!

boom!
Half of his body was shattered, and crimson sword blades pierced through his body. His reconstructed body was severely injured once again, and he couldn't even cry out.

Even crying counts as time!
They were even running out of strength to suppress Pan Ying's counterattack and resistance, and could only barely seal it off to prevent Ji Jue from taking it back.

Ji Jue didn't care about any of that. Even if he lost Pan Ying, he still had Zhan Lu!
Purple lightning and black flames burst forth from his fingertips, the spirit shrieked, and rapidly expanded, transforming into an overwhelming barrage of thunder and fire that illuminated the Abyss Lord's eyes with such excitement.

Yeah, and this too...

Bring it to you!

【usurp】!
boom! ! !
Ji Jue paused, taken aback, feeling a sudden emptiness in his heart, the heavy pressure gone. Then, he saw a terrifying, blazing light, swollen to its limit and on the verge of exploding, appear out of nowhere in the Abyss Lord's hand.

"Oh haha~"

He instinctively took a step back, bracing himself for defense.

Then, within the ravaged kingdom, a blazing light shot into the sky, rampaging and out of control. Zhanlu roared excitedly, fully revealing its complete form.

Endless thunder and fire surged and rose, transforming into a mushroom cloud shape with jagged edges and constantly radiating spikes, raging and spreading, while black flames originating from the evil demon poured down from the sky like a waterfall.

A huge hole suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the abyss. The deep sea boiled, and countless dead fish and rotting shrimp vaporized in an instant...

In the dead silence, a choked sob could be heard.

It sounded like a mournful cry.

The charred, skeletal Abyss Lord stood at the very center of the explosion, clutching a ball of lightning and fire that he had desperately tried to contain but was about to erupt again. Thick tears of blood slowly slid down his cheeks.

She almost burst into tears.

Why the hell?!
The way they looked at the craftsman at that moment was as if they had seen a ghost, completely bewildered: No, what kind of monstrosities are these things you're using!
Why does it always backfire, always lead to immortality, and always try to kill the user?

Is this right!
Was I set up by Tianyuan? How did I end up in such a state?

Ji Jue remained silent, but instead drew the Chun Jun sword with his other hand. He stepped forward again, and a dazzling light appeared on the blade, which was filled with spiritual energy. He was so calm.

Once again, it illuminated the Abyss Lord's eyes.

This time, surely it won't be... like that again...

He mustered his last bit of courage, wiped away his tears, and shakily reached out his hand.

【usurp】!
then……

There's no after that.

In the blink of an eye, the Chun Jun Sword fell into the hands of the Abyss Lord.

It was as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without any obstacles, and perfectly logical. When I held Chun Jun tightly, I felt so at peace inside, as if my missing soul had finally been filled.

Within the blade, countless changes flow and shift, endlessly transforming, their subtleties dazzling and mesmerizing.

What a sword!

What a fine sword!

It's hard to imagine that there are such agile blades in the world, as if they have a life of their own!
"Hahaha, hahahahaha, this time, finally, finally!!!"

The Lord of the Abyss choked back tears, then burst into wild laughter. He looked down at the dazzling, crystalline sword blade, and then he saw…

In the reflection on the sword's spine, a pair of eyes slowly opened.

Amidst the billowing black flames, a seven-pointed crown appeared, and a long robe billowed like blood from the fire.

The fiery demon within laughed silently.

"Truly, a man of exceptional talent and beauty—"
