Destiny is ashes

Chapter 961 The Return of the Great Void (23)

"I...I'm not really good at it."

You Ruhui shook her head honestly, her face pale. She subconsciously looked at An Jing, who reached out and held her hand, which reassured the girl.

"Faced with the power of the Heavenly Venerable, even I could not survive."

However, even An Jing had to admit that if he were caught in the aftershocks, he would be reduced to ashes and could only be reborn from the cave in the outer void... But it was hard to say whether the cave in the outer void would also be affected. In any case, he did not want to try to confront the power of the Heavenly Venerable head-on.

Like Jin Yanhua, An Jing knew very well that as the chosen one, he could not avoid such a huge karmic cause and effect. If he escaped this 'calamity' through the Heavenly Realm this time, he would definitely not be able to survive the next calamity.

Could he stay in the Farthest Heaven forever? Even setting aside the fact that there is cause and effect in the Farthest Heaven, could he really escape Huaixu for the rest of his life, escape this platform that allows him to grow at the fastest speed, and hide in another world as a mouse?
What a joke! He'd rather die than do such a cowardly thing!

As for why An Jing and the others are still alive, the reason is quite simple.

What was subtly blocking An Jing's way was the Great Dao Emperor Weapon [Hongjiang Cauldron] sent by the Great Chen Dynasty. It was the Nine Dragon Divine Cauldron held by the Great Chen Holy Ancestor Xuan Tianji to suppress the Netherworld Flood in the Northern Xuanji Continent and to cauldron the water veins of the world. Its very existence suppressed the River of Time, restored the disordered spacetime in front of it, and protected a large number of people.

But this doesn't solve the problem—Hong Jiangding hasn't yet gone all out to confront the power of the other Heavenly Venerables. When He is forced to unleash His full power, the deaths of those He has temporarily protected, including An Jing, will come.

That's why those people despair.

The power of the Zhaolin Realm is still expanding, the light is getting closer and closer, and the protective area of ​​Hongjiang Ding has begun to shrink.

But An Jing found a glimmer of hope.

The powers of the seventeen Celestial Venerables and the Four Seasons Dragon Gods were intertwined around the Zhaolin Realm, and none of them could gain control of the Zhaolin Realm, because within the Zhaolin Realm, the power of the Great Wilderness Realm was surging wildly and overflowing outwards.

These overflowing forces, like ocean waves, continuously crashed against the domains of the seventeen Celestial Venerables who surrounded the Zhaolin Realm. They were so powerful that they were difficult to disperse, and thus accumulated, shattering the spacetime around them and turning it into a huge void.

But this void doesn't mean it's impossible to enter or pass through!

Narrowing his eyes, An Jing keenly sensed that the power of the Zhaolin Realm was surging back and forth in the void, and part of it formed a spiritual energy backflow similar to an 'offshore current'. It was located between two massive waves and was flowing towards the 'inside' of the Zhaolin Realm at an extremely fast speed!
Although it is equally terrifying, it is not an attack, but a natural phenomenon-like surge. As long as one's foundation is solid enough to prevent one's own domain from collapsing during the return flow, perhaps one can... enter the Scale Realm through it, and enter the eye of the storm, the calmest and safest 'eye of the storm'!

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Sister Jin, you guide the way; Ru Hui, you sense the direction, both of you follow me!"

After seeing clearly, An Jing shouted and summoned the Taibai Battle Armor, unfolding the [Lord of the Four Seasons] domain, and then grabbed Jin Yanhua and You Ruhui's hands.

"Anjing?!" The moment they shook hands, they communicated with each other through their thoughts. You Ruhui and Jin Yanhua instantly understood his intention. Although they were surprised and astonished, they followed without hesitation!
"go!"

An Jing activated his Dharma Domain, and with the blessing of the Cave Heaven, the spiritual light of the Great Void surged. The three of them transformed into one, like moths drawn to a flame, resolutely moving against the light and following the vast 'backflow', directly rushing out of the protective domain of the Hongjiang Cauldron!
"what?!"

"Is he crazy?!"

"No...they're not dead! Look! That backflow is rapidly heading towards the Radiant Realm!" "How can this be?!"

An Jing and his group's actions were like a lightning bolt, instantly flashing through everyone's minds. Many geniuses who had fallen into despair suddenly realized that with their abilities, if they spent some time calming down and observing carefully, they might also be able to find this way out. But in such a short and intense period of time, An Jing actually found almost the only chance of survival so quickly!
"Is this what a nature master is?"

"As expected of destiny, it's happening so quickly?"

On the other side, Hui Tianyu, who was gritting his teeth and reinforcing the Dharma Mirror while observing the surrounding data of the Great Void, looked up in astonishment. He had also noticed the conflict and patterns between the Heavenly Venerables' divine powers and was rapidly calculating, searching for a gap. He wasn't actually that bold and was still thinking of entering the Mirror Realm, but because of the conflict among the Heavenly Venerables, the way out was almost completely blocked. Now, it seemed that he really could only 'advance'!

"Brother Yu Jing! Get ready!" he shouted, and the Azure Dragon's eyes shone with a blue-gold light: "I'm fine, my Heavenly Dragon body can withstand the Void Reversal - but in that case I must do my best to support the domain, you have to lead the way!"

"I... am only fifty percent certain!"

Hui Tianyu gritted his teeth. Although he was somewhat confident, the situation was so critical that he could not guarantee that it would continue indefinitely.
"I come!"

But just then, the man and the dragon heard a self-recommending voice. They turned around in surprise and saw Yu Feng rushing over. He immediately communicated with them using divine sense: "[I possess a Heavenly Dao ability that allows me to see the clear trajectory of the Void Turbulence! If we cooperate, we have a 100% chance of entering the Mirror Scale Realm!]"

[Heavenly Dao ability? Wait, you can hear my conversation with Brother Yu Jing? And your aura...]

Hui Tianyu did not recognize Yu Feng, but the information transmitted from Yu Feng's divine sense was extremely detailed. He had truly seen through the details of all the fluctuations in the void within a certain area. When this data was filled into his divination artifact, it really increased the success rate to over 90%!

This is absolutely a divine power, it's completely unreasonable!
Since that's the case, they can't care why Yu Feng's aura seems to be vaguely related to the spiritual energy inside the Zhaolin Realm. Anyway, in this situation, almost everyone who is still alive has great luck and has their own methods, which is only natural!

Let's go together!

This was not the time for contemplation. A sudden burst of inspiration struck, and as Yu Feng sat on Gu Yujing's back, they transformed into a three-person team and chose a route back towards Zhaolin Realm!

If it were just An Jing alone, even a Natural Master, making such a move would not inspire others to follow suit; it would definitely make everyone subconsciously hesitate—because destiny is too special. It's one thing for An Jing to be able to do it, but it's another matter whether others can.

However, the actions of Hui Tianyu's trio shocked everyone else who was still hesitating and struggling, making them immediately make up their minds!
"There's no way to escape, we have to charge in!"

"We'll fight to the death! Staying here means certain death!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Driven by the instinct for survival and their already outstanding abilities, most people suppressed their fear and despair in an instant. One by one, they erected their domains of power, transforming into streaks of light and rushing into the backflow, heading towards the Radiant Realm!
In an instant, like a meteor shower in broad daylight, under the radiant sunlight of the Celestial Venerables, the young generation of prodigies also dragged their own trajectories in the sea of ​​light.

[Destiny... Natural Master. An Jing, Lord of Heavenly Sword Mountain, you are indeed an extraordinary individual.]

Grand Tutor Hong, on behalf of all officials and the Imperial Court, sends you his greetings.
