Above Destiny

Chapter 799 What are you looking at?
"finally……"

In the silence, Ji Jue treads on the frozen sea surface, walking step by step toward the deep shadow and the pillar of ruin.

After a very, very long wait, he has finally reached this moment.

The moment has finally arrived.

I don't feel nervous or afraid.

Even though he was about to engage in a life-or-death struggle, he was as excited as a born killer, his excitement indescribable. He was even insatiable with hunger!
He laughed as the sea breeze rushed towards him.

That smile...

In the deep darkness, a disturbance arose.

The crowd gathered in the shadows stirred slightly, their expressions shifting.

"Who is that? The craftsman from yesterday?"

"Are you Ye Xian's student?"

“Ji Jue…”

Some people were filled with doubt, while others gradually became solemn. But at this moment, the murmurs and noises gradually disappeared, and silence fell.

When I looked at that warm, smiling face again, my pupils involuntarily contracted slightly, as if I were being pricked by needles.

Even if you're not the one on the field.

Alertness, tension, or even something completely inexplicable...

fear?

“Ji Jue?” The old man raised his eyes slightly and sighed, “You seem to have quite a lot of expectations for him.”

Tianlu nodded: "As a grandmaster of the association, isn't it normal for him to have expectations for the younger generation?"

"Really? Why didn't your student who broke out of the door come?"

"When the master is in trouble, the disciple will do his best. Sometimes the teacher is too busy to help, so the student has to go. Whether it's working like a beast of burden or charging into battle, the student will do it without hesitation."

Shouldn't you guys be very familiar with this routine?

Why bother asking me?

Tianlu paused for a moment, then gave a mocking smile: "In other words, in his teacher's opinion, Ji Jue is enough to deal with you guys."

boom.!!

The moment Ji Jue stepped into the Rift, the figure that was originally far away was now right in front of him, casting a dark shadow.

The massive body, over three meters tall, was shrouded in a heavy robe. The exposed face lacked any fleshy texture, making it difficult to discern gender or age. Even the eyes were covered by an intricately woven cloth.

Waves of spiritual energy continuously burst forth, captivating and awe-inspiring. It was unimaginable how many alchemical creations were hidden within that body.

At this moment, under the full power of the transcendent level, it broke through the air and arrived—suppressing the soul, disturbing the life force, petrifying and solidifying, freezing the soul—the alchemical creation under the robe continued to erupt, and in an instant, countless shackles were imposed on Ji Jue, making him unable to move.

A strange hand, shrouded in endless darkness, emerged from beneath the robe and pressed down toward Ji Jue's face, seizing everything!
Unfortunately, the moment it was extended, it inexplicably retracted!

Having given up this precious opportunity that could decide the outcome of the battle, the newcomer has already shot backward, even faster than when he came!
The sound of cracking came from the eyes beneath the blindfold, leaving behind a trail of sticky, bloody tears.

He saw it.

Just as he reached out his hand, Ji Jue, who should have been completely suppressed and caught off guard, reached out his hand in return, as if he had been prepared all along.

All attempts to suppress them were futile, failing to pose any obstacle whatsoever. Instead, they themselves suffered a sudden and severe blow!

A moment of shock flashed through his mind, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Immediately afterwards, it erupted uncontrollably!

Because right behind him, a curious voice suddenly rang out:

"What are you looking at?"

Ji Jue!

Even before he had a firm footing, it appeared behind him with even greater speed, and then raised its hand and placed it on his robe.

boom!!!
The Water Moon Armor, a mixture of desolate ruins and mirror-like structures, matter and illusion, existence and non-existence, a defense capable of directly resisting and eliminating countless attacks, shattered as if it had never existed.

That palm swept forward with overwhelming force, piercing through the body.

Dissociation technique!
The earthquake erupted, spreading with devastating force and annihilating souls.

His burly body stiffened and cracked.

The craftsman's soul was utterly annihilated.

At the same time, another hand emerged from the back of the deceased, wielding a sword and severing Ji Jue's head!

Beneath the tattered robe, a blood-stained spear shot out, piercing through the headless body and lifting Ji Jue up.

A burst of crimson lightning completely destroyed the last remaining part of the body.

Ashes!

"That guy..."

In that instant, Egonu's eyes widened, and he instinctively clenched his fists, finally recognizing the identity of the mysterious newcomer.

Even before that, Jiang Tongguang's eyes had already opened, radiating a chilling aura.

"【Gongjiao】!"

The Punishment Team has been pursuing its goal for who knows how many years: the infamous Profound Craftsman, the stagnant and corrupt who call themselves the repository of the world's finest craftsmen! Rather than craftsmen, they prefer to call themselves collectors.

What he loved most was seizing the hard-earned works and skills of other artisans to expand his collection. He once went so far as to disguise himself and lie in wait for ten or even decades in order to acquire a precious piece of art.

Who knows how many creations that guy has stolen from others that he's hiding on him?

They might even have...

"...There are other people in the same industry?"

As the blood flames burned, the headless steel body, which should have been completely reduced to ashes, spoke up, full of doubt: "Speaking of which, isn't this against the rules?"

boom!
The spear shattered and vanished like dust.

At close range, the molten steel finger rose and pointed at that face. A burst of purple lightning and black flame erupted, but once again the opponent sensed it in advance and created distance. It even deceived Zhanlu's pursuit and lock on, and calmly dodged.

"That's great, what a relief."

Ji Jue's headless body reached out and pulled the flying head back, reattaching it to his neck. After repairing it and washing away the curse that clung to the wound, he finally revealed a look of relief, still shaken: "I thought I was just clumsy."

Too scary!

When Gongjiao launched his final counterattack, he was terrified, thinking that he had been too lax recently and that his dissociation technique had become rusty and completely ineffective.

For a craftsman, what could be more terrifying than having insufficient skills?
So, it wasn't a one-on-one fight at all...

When the Water Moon Robe was torn apart and the body was broken, through the crack, one could finally perceive the soul originating from the craftsman. That wisp of energy was so noisy, filled with a large amount of noise and chaotic noise.

It was as if five or six different souls had overlapped.

What Ji Jue and Jing Zhen destroyed was just one of them!
Beneath the ripped robe, beneath that burly body, lay a dozen or so different arms and various organs, all folded and stacked together.

Right before his eyes, a dozen arms that had been retracted and hidden beneath his robes slowly extended, each hand holding a creation one in a million, some even crafted by the gods, each excelling in a completely different skill... In fact, even those arms and hands, and even his own body and internal organs, were modified from countless creations.

This is the reborn form of the kiln, and even more so, the realm built upon this reborn form, which is of the same lineage!

He completely modified his body, filling it with creations, ensuring complete compatibility and avoiding any conflict between them...

——【Circle of Retreats: The Cellar of Ten Thousand Craftsmen】!
At this moment, Gongjiao, who was blindfolded, grinned and laughed silently. A series of blank faces emerged from Gongjiao's body, opened their eyes, and stared at him intently.

They were extremely thirsty and their mouths were watering.

Unable to control their greedy desires!
"Brain, heart, and spine? No, the whole body... all over, everywhere!"

He sighed hoarsely, unable to contain his excited trembling: "So it's the same type of rebirth as me, haha, hahaha, you and I are the same!"

"There's actually someone in the world who's talking to me..."

"is it?"

A sound of regret rang out, almost within reach.

That face appeared before him without warning, telling him, "That's when I fell on hard times."

How could I have stooped so low as to be associated with trash like you!
bang——

Amidst the deafening roar, an arm that had transformed into a sword blade pierced through the air and fell into Ji Jue's hand, instantly turning to ashes and dissolving Jing Zhen.

But the wolf's malicious perception kept erupting.

It was as if they had anticipated Ji Jue's reaction and made preparations in advance.

Those eyes, hidden behind the blindfold, foresaw what would happen in the future and were already poised to strike before Ji Jue suddenly arrived.

The mournful howls continued to ring out.

Unfortunately, the smile on that face didn't even have time to form before it froze.

As reality unfolds and the future is further revealed, decisive differences emerge once again.

Despite being surrounded, Ji Jue easily maneuvered and advanced with ease amidst the all-out attacks of more than a dozen artifacts and six craftsmen.

With just a wave of his hand, a scarlet blade flashed out...

In the end, it was he who lay dead on the spot?!

Before I could even react, the clanging of the metal was already ringing in my ears, and the crimson flames were right in front of me, slashing down with incredible speed!

Then, it abruptly stopped.

It stopped right in front of him, albeit with great difficulty.

They were just one step away.

From the outstretched hand behind him, the 'Chain of Fading Light' extended from the void, wrapping around Pan Ying's sword blade and forcefully suppressing it, causing the Blessing Chain to suddenly fall silent.

As cold sweat seeped from his forehead, he saw what the future held in the next instant: a torrent of purple lightning and black flames rushing towards him like a raging tide.

Zhanlu!

At that moment, Ji Jue snapped his fingers, and amidst the crisp snap, a wisp of malevolent lightning shot out from the sparks from his fingertips, suddenly expanding.

On Gongjiao's chest, a face suddenly opened its mouth, and a precious pearl appeared in its mouth. The 'Transformation Pearl' emitted a faint light, reflecting everything as if in a dream, forcibly erasing and denying Zhanlu's radiance.

Gongjiao's eyes widened again.

Ignoring the excruciating pain of a torn soul, he tried to glimpse the future, and then froze in place.

In the future he saw, Ji Jue actually raised his head, as if looking at his present self, and asked again, "Now, what do you see?"
