Destiny is ashes

Chapter 978 The Emperor Zhulong
"Dual Immortal Realms? Me?"

An Jing didn't really feel anything, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt it made sense: "No wonder, I was just saying that when I achieved my cave heaven and fought the incarnation of the holy demon, I seemed to have comprehended something, which is why I was able to break through it with the last punch and reclaim the Heavenly Origin Dao Heart of Heaven and Earth."

"So that is the power of the spiritual path."

"More than that."

Fu Xie's calculations made it even more absurd: "The Taibai Haoling Divine Restriction is a Heavenly Emperor cultivation method that leans towards body refinement and the 'Way of Power,' and your [Dao Formation into a Flesh Body] is of the same kind."

"As for your spiritual energy... although you haven't deliberately practiced it, you still have the innate Dao body of 'True Spirit Blood Ancestral Dragon Seed' and 'Five Great Immortal Spiritual Roots'—not to mention the Taiyang Wuji and Taiyin Wuji that you comprehended after the last battle."

"Although you haven't grasped it yet, your 'Way of Power' and 'Way of Spirit' are already on their way!"

At this point, Fu Xie's sword trembled, as if in shock: "You... do you intend to gather all four immortal skills before the Heavenly Venerable? If you really fight someone now, you'll be a low-end version of the four immortal skills in a short time!"

"Honestly, even a regular Lingxiao wouldn't have this kind of setup!"

"This, this is too exaggerated..." This summary not only startled An Jing, but also shocked You Ruhui, while only the Golden-Winged Roc, who did not understand, was bewildered.

The girl covered her mouth, looked at An Jing, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this destiny?"

“Destiny… at most can only be said to guarantee the advancement of one ‘Path of the Spirit,’ which is the Taiyin Taiyang Wuji Divine Power.”

Fu Xie denied this, saying, "The core of destiny is nothing more than the support of the Heavenly Dao. True geniuses can surpass destiny, but such geniuses who can surpass destiny must be another destiny, because the power of the Heavenly Dao transcends time and space, spanning the past and the future, and it is impossible for it not to detect truly outstanding seeds."

"But Anjing's actions were clearly beyond the expectations of Heaven... even I couldn't have predicted it..."

An Jing didn't care about that. He murmured, "After fighting all this way, I do feel that the mission is becoming more and more difficult, but now... I'm afraid we've reached our limit."

"Because with my abilities, I have already reached a level that can explain and describe the limits, and even exceeded them."

"That's right."

Fu Xie solemnly said, "That's why we must be careful!"

"With your current setup, you can reliably withstand the 'Sixth Level Saint Realm' all the way to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Don't let an accident cause you to crash and burn down your path!"

"I will."

Shaking his head, An Jing now understood his own power even more... Ha, no wonder Yinglong couldn't withstand the prelude of his sword energy, no wonder the silver dragon was 'killed' by his angry glance. This level of cultivation is truly unbelievably profound!
If other geniuses are like ordinary bicycles or cars, then he is like a hundred-ton heavy truck, or even a super-giant road roller!
"This dragon body cannot be wasted."

With a raised hand, An Jing collected the shattered corpse of Liu Yin and placed it into his cave. He also collected the fragments of Huo Jin and Youming Longyin's souls and sent them into his cave after a moment's thought.

Inside the cave, the dragon's body landed beside Xiaoqi and the Heavenly Punishment Divine Tree. Xiaoqi, who had been diligently absorbing the spiritual energy of the Zhaolin Realm, paused for a moment, then wriggled over to the dragon's corpse. After touching it, it lost interest—if possible, it would only eat spiritual objects of both Yin and Yang attributes. Although the dragon's corpse was alright, it was not as pure as the spiritual energy of the Zhaolin Realm.

As for the Heavenly Punishment Divine Tree, it accepted all comers. Its earth vein roots lifted up, dragging the dragon corpse deep into the earth, and began to prepare to transform and refine it into a new earth vein.

In an instant, a small mountain resembling a coiled dragon or snake appeared on the land of the cave, exactly like the one that the Manifest Saint True Monarch who died after accidentally triggering the restriction was absorbed by the Zhaolin Realm.

The fragments of Huo Jin's soul seemed to sense the aura of a kind and began to gradually descend toward the small mountain, as if trying to condense something.

As for the fragments of the dragon worm's soul, because they originally had little intelligence, they were very innocent and pure, and were absorbed by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Tree.

“Even in grotto-heavens, enemies can be used to gather spiritual objects from heaven and earth.”

Although An Jing had known this for a long time, this was the first time he had seen a real example. He smiled, raised his head, and said to You Ruhui and the Golden-Winged Roc beside him, "I came here to find you, but I unexpectedly encountered the dragons and snakes of this Great Wilderness Realm."

"The Yinglong just received a power boost, which is obviously some kind of technology or trump card they have. In that case, let's go take a look."

"Okay, oh! By the way! I discovered a mysterious dragon-man skeleton not far away..."

You Ruhui clapped his hands, also remembering this matter, and told An Jing about it. An Jing was also quite surprised: "An ancient version, or even the original version of the Great Chen Imperial Court's cultivation? Where did it come from? Could it be the relatives and companions that Xuan Tianji brought in back then?"

"Interesting, I definitely have to go check it out."

An Jing summoned the Roc and prepared to go to the dragon-man corpses to check the situation before investigating the secrets of the Great Wilderness Dragon Clan.

However, at this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc also had something to say: "Great, Great King... Yin Earth, True Talisman..."

It still remembered the Yin Earth True Talisman that had been emptied after the Netherworld Dragon Worm died.

"Let's talk about that later."

An Jing wasn't particularly interested in things he could easily make himself, but since it was available, he would go get it later. The Golden-Winged Roc simply gave him a heads-up.

As for whether or not to want it? That's no longer important.

Seeing that the Netherworld Dragon Worm, with whom he had once fought and was evenly matched, was instantly killed by King An's sword, Dapeng had completely let go of his resentment and made peace with him.

Haha, although being the king of the forbidden area of ​​Zhaolin Realm has a bright future, being King An's mount is even more promising.

Rather than watching those boring beast fights, it would be much better to be a pageboy for King An!

at the same time.

The Great Wilderness Realm. At the deepest part of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Sea, where time returns to nothingness.

This is the final point where the Great Wilderness Realm devours the 'history,' 'future,' and 'possibilities' of other worlds. All worlds that fall into the Great Wilderness Realm and are embraced and devoured by it will have their possible futures completely converging and ultimately assimilated by the Great Wilderness. The futures that are abandoned and the past histories that are no longer important, those countless timelines, will all converge from all directions along with the endless flow of time in the Great Wilderness Heavenly Sea and surge into the [Return of Time to Ruins].

If someone is accidentally drawn into it, they will fall into a near-eternal dream, traversing one possible timeline after another, witnessing one seemingly plausible history after another, where stars are born and destroyed in an instant, and dynasties decline before they rise.

There is no up, down, left, or right here, only eternal flow.

And in the deepest part of this endless chaotic time, in the land of the Sea Eye of Guixu.

【The Beginningless Still Abyss】

In the endless, boundless darkness, or rather, in the void of time and space, a Candle Dragon slowly awakens as three streams of light flow in.

That was not... the Candle Dragon in the traditional sense. It had two strange, long horns, three on the left and seven on the right, for a total of ten branches. It originally resided in a void where there was no time, but with its awakening, countless splendid moments of time were born, revolving around it and emitting the faint sound of the Great Dao.

[What is the matter, Ying, Shen, Qiu...?]

Emperor Zhulong calmly looked down at the three constantly fluctuating streams of light, their past and future intertwined, vaguely forming a dragon-like shape.

[Your Majesty, we, your descendants, have been condemned to a fate in another world.]

Facing the supreme being of the Nine Dragon Clan, the Three Dragon Emperors were not as casual as the other juniors. They were extremely serious and reported truthfully: "This likely represents the attitude of the Heavenly Dao of the Huai Xu Ancestral Land, therefore... we request Your Majesty to issue the order!"

This is indeed a reasonable request.

Therefore, Emperor Zhulong nodded.

The wish has been granted.

One of the seven dragon eyes, which had been slightly narrowed as if in a slumber, opened. This dragon eye shone with endless radiance, like the sun and moon, like time itself, marking the beginning of the tearing apart of eternal tranquility.

Then, He closed His eyes and fell into deep thought.

The light from the Three Dragon Emperors trembled slightly. The forbidden land of Wushi Jingyuan, which is almost the foundation of the Great Dao of the Great Wilderness Realm, is not something that ordinary Heavenly Venerables can enter. At the very least, one must reach the realm of the [Lord of the Heavens] to barely avoid being affected.

However, they dared not urge or disturb them, and could only endure in silence.

Because Emperor Zhulong is both the god of time for the dragon race and the emperor of the dragon race.

But just before the Three Dragon Emperors were about to feel unbearable pain, the Candle Dragon Emperor spoke.

[Existences similar to me... the destiny of our ancestral land is indeed extraordinary.]

Emperor Zhulong slowly said, "I have seen endless bloodshed and decay. Of the children sent there this time, only a very few will return alive... Stay far away from that destiny, or submit to him completely."

Upon hearing the words of the Candle Dragon Emperor, the light streams represented by the three dragon emperors were all stunned, revealing an incredulous expression. As one of the four overlords of the Great Wilderness Realm, the dragon race had never received such a humble 'divine decree'.

Moreover, if what Emperor Zhulong said is true...

【That】

Emperor Yinglong asked, puzzled, "Should the plan continue?"

【Um】

The Emperor Zhulong closed his eyes, about to fall into his next slumber: [Continue to open the space-time passage and send 'He' there.]

[The Vortex of Time, another dragon egg born from the Beginningless Still Abyss... It hatches from within with its own mission.]

Send my child there, 'Candle Dragon' who has witnessed the passage of time... It's time for me to meet 'Ancestral Dragon' who has witnessed the beginning and end of all things, and to meet my other half...

He is asleep.

Open your eyes, and time flows. Close your eyes, and everything stands still.

boom!
As Zhulong closed his eyes, Wushi Jingyuan fell into complete silence, and the three streams of light were repelled.

But they didn't care, because they had indeed received a divine oracle.

Since the Emperor Emeritus has said so, let's continue with the plan.

They said: "Send the 'Little Dragon Emperor' over there."

at the same time.

Beyond the Zhaolin Boundary.

The four seasons' dragon gods also sensed something.

Not only that, many celestial beings also seemed to sense something.
