Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1001 Manifestation of the Ancestral Spirit
An Jing remained on the sidelines, calmly assessing the enemy's capabilities.

Jin Yanhua and Su Xinbai are both super divine beings who could manifest sainthood long ago, and some are even top-tier beings who could directly ascend to the high level of sainthood after manifesting sainthood.

Each of them delivered a single blow, pushing the divine deer into the second stage, but that doesn't mean the opponent is weak.

Conversely, the fact that this mythical deer actually survived to reach the second stage can only mean one thing.

It... is definitely not a divine treasure!
At this moment, following the will of the divine deer, towering mountains rose from the earth, splitting open bottomless abysses. Countless enormous stone pillars rose from the ground and twisted and intertwined wildly, forming a 'deep labyrinth' covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

High mountains, deep abysses, and stone walls appeared instantly, replacing the sky and the surrounding wasteland. Everything was distorted and space was disordered. An Jing and his group of five were instantly separated, their senses cut off by the incomparably heavy laws of earth and stone.

It will tear them apart!
But An Jing did not panic.

As the maze took shape and separated everyone, he calmly raised his hand and gently pointed forward.

An invisible and intangible killing sword aura extended forward—it did not strike any physical wall, but directly affected the deeper microscopic level, the domain where spiritual energy and laws operated.

[The Realm of Subtlety]

The sword energy spread out, like endless branches of a tree, penetrating into the depths and shattering the vibrating and effective strings of law, extinguishing the essence of 'law' from a more distant source!
hum-

The distorted spacetime barrier opened in response, and An Jing took a step forward, instantly reuniting the people who were about to be separated.

But it only lasted for a moment.

Soon, the earth began to churn once more, and an even more complex and solid labyrinth rose up again, attempting to separate them once more.

"This is not the way to go."

An Jing once again shattered the turbulence of time and space with his sword intent, and frowned slightly. Looking at the center of the distant maze, where the divine deer was no longer moving, he said: "Its spiritual energy is endless, and its body is immortal. To wear it down is to seek one's own death."

An Jing looked at You Ruhui and asked, "Can we interfere?"

"It's hard..."

You Ruhui looked around and gently reached her palm into the surrounding sandstorm, trying to use the power of her own cave heaven and the special ability of her 'Emperor Blood' to sense and control the earth veins in reverse, so as to interfere with the Kunyu Divine Deer.

Having just comprehended new principles of law from the dragon skeletons, You Ruhui's proficiency in this area has become even more precise, and ordinary dragons of the Great Wilderness are no match for her.

She tried to infuse her will into the earth.

However, compared to the Divine Deer, the Great Wilderness Dragon Clan is as insignificant as dust and as majestic as a mountain.

The moment You Ruhui attempted to extend his will, he was struck as if by lightning, letting out a muffled groan. This world seemed to be a world ruled by an supreme will. Kunyu Divine Deer's 'Earth Vein Domain' was simply indestructible. Countless veins crisscrossed beneath the earth, like the roots of a golden divine tree. Once the will of other 'trees' probed in, they would be countered with all their might by this golden divine tree!

Just now, the moment You Ruhui's will touched the earth's veins, it was forcibly repelled by a will that was many times more powerful and ancient, and it could not be shaken in the slightest!
Even more terrifyingly, this action triggered an even more horrific consequence—in an instant, the power of the earth surged back through her arms, threatening to petrify her completely! Even with the fastest possible withdrawal, the girl's hands were already mostly petrified and numb.

At that moment, the Kunyu Divine Deer raised its hand.

It mobilizes the sandstorm, the earth beneath its feet, the towering mountains, and the solid rock shell, converging them into the final killing move!
"Caw! Your Majesty, the Ancestral Spirit is about to enter its final state!"

The golden-winged roc carrying everyone let out a cry of alarm. For some reason, perhaps because it was also the 'King of the Forbidden Land' and part of the trial, it sensed an extreme crisis and attempted to flap its wings and fly away.

However, Da Peng was shocked to find that he could not move his body at all!

Dust and debris were lifted up by an invisible force, and began to gather wildly around it.

The divine deer held its staff, raised its left hand, aimed at An Jing and the others, and suddenly clenched its fist inward!
In an instant, all matter was compressed towards the center point by extreme pressure!
【Prison of the Stars】

The violent gravity began to converge and pull rapidly, and all the Taixu divine powers were sealed and anchored. If they did not escape as soon as possible, they would be completely sealed by the countless rocks and earth vein power that converged!

As everyone tried to dodge, they were horrified to discover that their bodies were being rapidly petrified!
A layer of grayish-brown stone color quickly appeared on everyone's bodies, their skin lost its luster, and their joints became stiff. The golden-winged roc's radiant feathers began to materialize, as if they were about to transform into equally bright brass. Everyone felt that their minds were still functioning normally, but their physical movements were a hundred times slower, as if they were trapped in solidified amber, and could only watch helplessly as the destructive power devoured them.

"This ancestral spirit is actually so powerful?!"

Jin Yanhua and Su Xinbai's stone bodies shattered, but this time she was truly astonished: "This is not normal. How could the ancestral spirits of the past be so powerful that they could forcibly cover us with their own laws? Isn't this a manifestation of holiness?"

She gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes: "No, I must ascend to heaven and manifest my divine power!"

She decided to use her trump card and force a breakthrough!

Faced with this ancestral spirit that had been strengthened countless times, only she herself could crush it by stepping into the realm of manifestation!

"No, Sister Jin, give it to me."

Just at this critical moment, a voice rang out.

A sharp and fiery sword intent suddenly burst forth from An Jing's body, as if it could cut through and reshape all the constraints of the world!

This sword intent was not for killing, yet it originated from the same source. It swept across like a blazing wind, instantly shattering the petrified state on the dark and gloomy Dapeng.

Also shattered was the anchoring against the Taixu Divine Power.

"Are you sure?"

Su Xinbai looked at An Jing, and after their eyes met, she understood: "Alright, then I will obey the command of Lord Tianming."

A radiant light enveloped her, and she immediately activated the cosmic divine power [Short Horizon]!
In an instant, a spherical spacetime centered on Su Xinbai was completely moved away from the center of destruction.

--boom! ! !

Just a few breaths after everyone moved away, a star-like object, composed of extremely high-density matter and resembling a small planet, suddenly took shape in the place where they had been!

The destructive celestial body did not fall, but hovered above the divine deer's head. It then slowly decompressed and transformed, becoming a majestic dark golden battle armor that covered its body. The bracers and arm guards, forged from the essence of nature, with dragon-scale-like armor plates extending deep into its torso, made it easy to imagine the imposing nature of this battle armor.

At this moment, the aura of the Kunyu Divine Deer rose steadily, stepping into a completely new realm!

Final stage!
"Let you come?"

After the teleportation, Jin Yanhua stared at An Jing in astonishment. She could sense that the ancestral spirit at this moment was now an absolute manifestation of sainthood: "This thing is a manifestation of sainthood, although it is only at the initial stage, but can you really defeat it?"

"It's not like we haven't killed before."

An Jing, on the contrary, showed an interested smile and comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Jin, if I can't beat them, you can come and save me."

...Saving a chosen one?
Although Jin Yanhua has always trusted An Jing, killing an enemy across major realms is still a bit too exaggerated—but that's true, if An Jing can't win, then it's not too late for her to take action. At least An Jing can still protect himself!
Saving a chosen one is something that Huai Xu has rarely seen in all of history... With a thought flashing through her mind, she exhaled and agreed: "Alright, I think you've also sensed your own destiny."

—Indeed, it's quite good.

An Jing turned his head and looked at the Kunyu Divine Deer, which had already donned its armor and entered the 'final stage' described by the Golden-Winged Roc.

Regardless of the truth, this Seven Luminaries Ancestral Spirit, as part of the ancestral dragon scale that once appeared out of nothing, already possesses an extremely terrifying realm, even comparable to a martial artist who carries two great immortal achievements.

Moreover, it was the way of 'fate' and 'spirit' that he had not yet fully mastered.

"Coincidentally, it's opposite me."
