Above Destiny

Chapter 800 (General)

"You can see it, right?"

It was as if Ji Jue, from a future simulation, had traversed time and looked at the old workshop, smiling contemptuously: "Was it useful?"

The moment those same words echoed in his ears, the weight of the Heavenly Origin suddenly descended, crushing Gongjiao's body into dust.

The kiln workers were prepared and had already taken the initiative to turn into shadows, flashing back into the distance.

Like a gecko losing its tail.

The tattered Water Moon Robe was left behind, and in Ji Jue's hands, it was completely reduced to ashes.

The moment he regained his footing, Gongjiao felt a chill run down his spine. In his vision of the future, he heard Ji Jue's warning: "Next, I might appear from behind you."

"Be careful."

The moment he turned around in shock, Ji Jue's figure appeared as if by appointment, arriving late.

"The left side," he said.

Pan Ying's blood-red slash, the burst of blood flames illuminating the sky, shattered an ancient shield covered in copper rust into dust.

Beneath Ji Jue's feet, the shadow suddenly expanded. Under the call of creation, the shadow beast, which was meant to devour people, had not yet taken shape before it was crushed to pieces.

"middle."

The future Ji Jue declared again, and then, just as he said, Ji Jue's palm was stretched out again, raised, aimed at his face, and pressed down!

Dissociation Technique - Jing Zhen.

boom!!!
He hastily raised his arm to block in front of him, only to have it snap and turn to ashes under Jing Zhen's power.

Amidst the scattering dust, Ji Jue raised his hand, and between his five fingers, the lightning of Zhanlu burst forth once more, like a spear, as if issuing another warning: "Heart, be careful to disintegrate your right hand."

Behind Ji Jue, a series of sharp blades that had been flying out suddenly reversed direction, only to be blocked and slowed down by the mercury wall that rose from the ground.

Now, the condensed lightning pierced down, crashed into a magnificent and eerie mirror, reflected back, and was then naturally retrieved by Ji Jue.

Ji Jue tilted his head, dodging the half-slashed blade that suddenly descended from the void, and then placed his outstretched palm on Gong Jiao's heart.

The cellar's body writhed, creating an opening, but Ji Jue's touch landed on nothing.

"I already told you to be careful."

A voice from the future sighed softly: "I'm about to interfere in your affairs. Have you noticed the mercury?"

A sliver of silver light flashed past his eyes.

A massive amount of water vapor was hidden within the lightning that had just erupted from Zhanlu.

Unbeknownst to him, tiny specks of silver light had seeped into his body, joints, blood vessels, and even his very being. The fine mercury vapors condensed again, and millions of imperceptible grains of mercury solidified, bursting forth suddenly.

Solidification Alchemy!
Gongjiao roared, and before that, he raised a hand and pressed it against his body. After a sudden jolt, lightning erupted, forcibly removing the mercury that had seeped into his body.

They launched a relentless and fearless attack!
Watch out behind you.

A voice from the future serves as a reminder once again.

When he realized it, countless fragments that had fallen from Ji Jue's body had already coalesced within the dissolved mercury, forming a mechanical mermaid that lunged at him.

Gongjiao waved his hand, and the shadow of the giant hammer flashed by. The mermaid was crushed into powder, but before he could react, he heard the sound in his ear again.

"From now on, I'm going to speed up—"

And so, a blood-red storm arose from the ground.

Blood Arm Sacrifice, fully unleashed!

A counterattack at 126 times the speed is coming!

No matter how he fought back, even if he simultaneously activated dozens of creations in an attempt to regain control, it was all in vain... In the illusory simulations of the future, the cruel reality was revealed to him time and time again.

It's no use! It's no use! It's no use!

It's completely useless!
"wrong!"

The moment he realized it, Gongjiao trembled involuntarily, drenched in cold sweat: his own foresight had been used against him by his opponent!

It seems that by proactively revealing one's moves, one is placed at a significant disadvantage. However, it is precisely this crucial disadvantage, along with the opponent's preparedness, that makes the originally unpredictable methods of the kiln and the countless creations available for countermeasures.

From nothingness to something traceable!
As long as you are prepared for your moves to be countered by your opponent, you can take that into consideration and calmly respond to their moves, thus gaining the upper hand to some extent.

What determines this is speed—being faster than your opponent!
With Chun Jun's heightened perception and the wolf's reflexes, the time slowed down a thousandfold was enough for him to make any necessary decisions regarding the current situation.

With the insight of the mirror of phenomena, everything is so clear and vivid.

Even if I get targeted in the next move, it doesn't matter, as long as I can predict the future ten moves from now, nothing else matters!
Just like now.

Ji Jue's final announcement came to my ears.

"Eye."

A deafening roar erupted from his soul, countless visions of the future appeared before the cellar's eyes, and countless methods of coping emerged from his body.

But it didn't work!
When he took a wrong step and stepped into the mercury trap on the ground, it erupted with lightning and fire. In that instant of hesitation, he was met with Pan Ying's ferocious slash.

In a hasty attempt to dodge, the relentless torrential rain completely blocked all escape routes. The splashing mercury rain was instantly created, and solid alchemy transformed into chains, binding and restraining them.

When they tried to withstand the attack, all six layers of different defenses and shields shattered under the shockwave...

In the blink of an eye, he saw countless possibilities and countless setbacks, but he could not see any solution!

When he came to his senses, he could no longer see anything.

Snapped!
Just as he was lost in the countless possibilities of the future, all Ji Jue did was walk forward step by step, reach out, and press his hand against his face.

And so, that blindfold, which was almost inseparable from the soul and body, vanished into thin air!

The pale, distorted face was exposed, with only two large, dark holes, and thick blood dripped from the shattered pupils.

Gongjiao staggered backward, waving his arms wildly and shouting hoarsely.

However, Ji Jue did not pursue him closely.

She simply stood there, calmly watching his terrified expression, waiting for him to come to his senses.

And so, she casually planted the Pan Ying in the ground beside her, freeing her hands to gently beckon to him.

"Have you rested well?"

Ji Jue considerately asked, "Remember to let me know when you're done, the competition has to continue." "..."

Gongjiao trembled, his shattered expression twitching in waves, unable to contain his rage. Faces appeared and disappeared one after another on his body, each one twisted and ferocious.

Numerous limbs extended from his body, transforming into entirely different creations, heavy armor shrouding his form, and intense light bursting from his empty eyes.

The rift trembled, and everything seemed to twist and turn. A surge of gravity gathered on his body, like a vortex, distorting his vision.

The Craftsmanship is in full swing!

Amidst a deafening roar like a mountain shifting, he walked step by step toward Ji Jue.

All that could be seen was Ji Jue's raised palm.

In front of him, she slowly retracted one of her five fingers, then another, and another...

It's like a countdown.

When his five fingers clenched into a fist and the countdown ended completely, in the dead silence, he instinctively froze, and subconsciously widened his eyes, staring intently at his surroundings.

But nothing happened.

"You son of a bitch..."

Gongjiao's expression twitched violently, and he opened his mouth as if to speak, but it was only at that moment that he noticed the foreign object on his face and the feeling of tearing.

He couldn't help but change color abruptly.

Unbeknownst to anyone, within the crack on his face, wisps of faintly flowing spiritual energy silently gathered, condensed, and quietly grew into a... blade?!

The moment the crisp snap of the fingers rang out, Chun Jun suddenly erupted, and the spiritual energy condensed in the blade surged and spread outwards.

Jing Zhen!
The skull of the worker exploded with a loud bang.

In a moment of stunned silence, he felt his hand lighten. The Heavenly Craftsmanship, poised to unleash its power, disintegrated under the disintegration, emitting a deafening roar that tore at his heart.

Broken!

Before they could even react, another loud bang rang out, and the heavy armor that had enveloped the illusory mountain peaks crumbled in the process.

When Ji Jue's palm touched his chest again, the entire circle shook violently.

The circle that covered his body, forming an infinite cellar, began to crack. Countless creations trembled violently, rising up in the blink of an eye amidst repeated violent impacts, breaking free from his control.

At that moment, Gongjiao finally heard Ji Jue's voice.

It's like hell from the underworld.

Are you ready to say goodbye to your baby?

The mutated limbs and internal organs trembled, revealing their original form, which was forcibly broken open from its sealed state. Then, inch by inch, they twisted, shattered, and vanished.

It was like opening a blind box; countless treasures of all sizes burst forth.

It was annihilated in the crucible of those steel hands!

Never before has there been such unrestrained expression and such shocking devastation.

Within and beyond the deathly silent Rift Realm, the sound of shattering erupted like firecrackers, mixed with screams and wails as if mourning the loss of one's parents, and even Ji Jue's maniacal laughter.

Gongjiao struggled desperately, but it was already too late.

Mercury flowed through his body, his reborn form was forcibly sealed, and after the rift shattered, his collection accumulated over countless years was completely destroyed with terrifying efficiency.

It wasn't just Yousui; even within the association, countless people experienced shifts in expression, their faces twitching as they recalled past shadows and nightmares.

Subconsciously, I closed my eyes.

I can't bear to look at it anymore.

This is no longer a duel... it's an outright demolition!

When the continuous explosions abruptly stopped, the once magnificent cellar had become emaciated and mutilated, with only a broken skeleton supporting its riddled body.

At this moment, his last remaining heart was held in Ji Jue's hand.

Slowly lift it up.

It was brought to his face.

"Shall we say a final goodbye?" Ji Jue asked considerately. "You must really like how it's hidden so deep inside, right?"

Gong Jiao subconsciously tried to close his eyes, but the flowing mercury forced his eyelids open, forcing him to witness firsthand how his last collection would be destroyed.

The first crack appeared above the heart, then the second, the third... along with the treasures hidden inside.

And so, amidst piercing screams and wails, it shattered completely.

See you again!

Only the flying ashes leaked through Ji Jue's fingers, and no matter how hard Gong Jiao reached out to try to hold them back, he could not grasp them.

Completely, I've lost everything.

Tears still lingered on that stiff, distorted face, but no sound could be uttered. Mercury rose inch by inch from below the neck, climbing up the face and freezing everything completely.

The soul is annihilated.

Only a statue of despairing wailing appeared before everyone, so tragically gruesome. Even just looking at it, one could almost hear the hallucinatory cries and howls.

"The food is really good, but unfortunately, the quality is just average."

Ji Jue shook his head and sighed with regret.

The rift vibrates.

It was as if an invisible torrent was rushing by, washing away everything, and the distant Pillar of Demise trembled and cracks reappeared.

It's dropped another notch!
Now, the outcome of the battle, the life or the death, has finally been revealed.

But he ignored the reopening of the rift gate, and didn't even turn around to enjoy the cheers that should rightfully belong to him in the Heavenly Pivot.

Instead, he pulled out the Pan Ying Sword from the ground, looked up, and gazed in the direction of the shadowy figure.

"next."
