Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 256 The Fate Star Shines High, the Sun and Moon Shine in the Same Sky

Kaihuang City, Luo Family Village.

This village, which resembles a paradise, is nestled against Tianzhu Mountain. The villagers usually go into the mountains to hunt, gather herbs, and chop firewood, which they then sell in the city.

In an open space in the village, a thin boy, no more than eleven or twelve years old, was practicing boxing. Although his face was pale and sickly due to lack of food, he put his heart into every punch and occasionally made groaning noises.

"Push harder! Don't let up."

Beside the boy was a burly, shirtless man.

"Practicing boxing is like rowing against the current. If you don't practice for a day, you will lose a level of skill. If you don't practice for ten days, even the greatest skill will be wasted. How can you then sense your destiny star?"

The burly man held a bamboo stick in his hand, scolding and striking the boy's body with it to correct his mistakes in boxing. His voice and actions were extremely stern, but only when he saw the boy still gritting his teeth and persevering did a rare tenderness appear in his eyes.

Half an hour passed like this.

"Alright, stop now and take a break."

The burly man finished speaking but did not relax. Instead, he stared intently at the boy, only to see that the boy did not collapse to the ground instantly but slowly lowered his fist stance.

"call"

He exhaled a long breath, which lingered and did not dissipate, like a white arrow falling into the air. After doing all this, the boy stood still in place in an orderly manner.

"Not bad!" The big man nodded in satisfaction. "It seems you haven't forgotten what I taught you yesterday. The worst thing you can do when practicing boxing is to lose your energy. Even if you're exhausted and can't go on, you can't relax during rest. Otherwise, if you lose your energy, all that boxing practice for half a day will be for nothing."

"hey-hey."

Upon hearing this, the boy scratched his head, revealing a somewhat naive yet smug expression, before looking up at the sky above.

At a glance, the stars are dazzling.

Regardless of sunrise or sunset, even during the day, countless stars still twinkle in the sky, some bright, some dim, and some yet to be lit.

His upbringing taught him that the stars in the sky correspond to people on earth, symbolizing the fate of all living beings. Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in the boy's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at the big man: "Master, when do you think I'll be able to light up my destiny star?"

"Just today."

The burly man spoke casually, but it stunned the boy, who stood there for a while before reacting: "Today?! Why didn't you say so sooner, Master?!"

"I told you, it won't work."

A smile appeared on the burly man's lips as he said softly, "You just performed a set of [Fate-Responding Fist]. Now look up at the sky and slowly close your eyes."

The boy quickly did as instructed.

Strangely, this action, which would normally be meaningless, suddenly gave the boy an indescribable feeling.

"My destiny star."

In a daze, the boy's consciousness seemed to connect with the heavens, and he saw a previously dim star slowly light up under his gaze.

The next second, a thought descended along the starlight—

Villagers

The two simple words left the boy stunned for a long time before he opened his eyes and saw the big man looking at him with some tension: "What destiny star did you obtain?"

“They are villagers,” the boy replied truthfully.

The burly man's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but a hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes: "[Villagers] Ah, so be it. Living a peaceful and stable life isn't so bad."

The boy looked puzzled upon hearing this: "Can't villagers practice martial arts?"

"of course can."

The burly man patted the boy's head, then sighed, "However, the wonder of the [Villager] only allows you to eat anything when you're hungry."

"As for practicing martial arts, you are not a [Wu Zu] and do not have the corresponding divine blessing. It is a case of twice the result for half the effort. Instead of wasting that time, you would be better off farming and being a good [Villager]. Rashly pursuing changing your fate will only make your life worse than before."

At this point, the big man sighed again.

This is his personal experience. Unlike the boy, he was a soldier, but he was not content to be just a soldier and wanted to become a general in the army.

However, he was not destined for that fate.

When one's destiny star is not shining, everything goes wrong. Trying to break free from the predetermined path of fate will bring misfortune, and as a result, he was seriously injured in a great battle.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have retired from the army and settled in such a small mountain village to live in seclusion.

"But Master." After hearing these words, the boy lowered his head, but then asked hopefully, "Does that mean my destiny star is 'Villager,' and I'll be a villager for life?"

“.Not really.”

The boy was still young, and the big man didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm too much, so he changed the subject:
"Although the fate of all the stars in the world is predetermined, there are still unexpected events. For example, when the Heavenly Demon enters the world, countless variables will arise."

"At that time, even if you are a [villager], you will have the hope of becoming [the emperor]."

"I know, I know!" The boy immediately raised his hand: "The Heavenly Emperor and the Night Emperor, their corresponding destiny stars are the sun and the moon in the sky!"

“That’s right.” The big man smiled slightly: “To control the sun and stars is to be the Son of Heaven. To control the moon and stars is to be the Son of Night. Both are supreme positions in the universe.”

"Whenever the [Heavenly Demon Enters the World] arrives, all the martial artists in the world will sense it, and eventually two supreme emperors will be born, joining hands to kill the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."

"At that time, the emperor will be able to unify the world and bring about a long-awaited period of peace and prosperity."

At this point, a look of longing appeared in the big man's eyes: "Ancient records state that the last time a 'heavenly demon entered the world' occurred a thousand years ago."

"At that time, forced by the might of the Heavenly Demon, the rulers of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Central Plains joined hands and swore a blood oath on the summit of Tianzhu Mountain behind us, establishing the reign title Zhangwu to jointly resist the Heavenly Demon. Under the rule of our dynasty, there are countless fierce generals and strategists, all of whom are willing to die for us, which is why our dynasty has continued to this day."

The big man was quite eloquent.

As he narrated, a captivating history unfolded, enthralling the young man so much that he wished he had been born in that era of great strife.
But at this moment.

"General Chen! Something terrible has happened!"

Just then, several young men came running from outside the village, carrying bows, arrows, and short knives, their faces filled with terror: "There's been a riot in the mountains! Wild beasts are running away!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately showed surprise.
Tianzhu Mountain covers an area of ​​thousands of miles and is home to countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. There are probably several beast kings among them. How could ordinary events cause a riot in the mountain?

'Could it be a beast tide?'

"That's impossible! The city lord reached an agreement with the beast lord of Tianzhu Mountain years ago, agreeing to keep to themselves. How could the beast lord suddenly unleash a beast tide?"

Despite this, the great Han dared not be negligent.

After all, Luo Family Village was just a remote corner outside the mountains. Faced with the beast tide, it was like a pebble in the ocean, destined to be swallowed up in an instant.

Perhaps only the recently reclaimed city can barely be considered a reef.

Thinking this through, the burly man made a decisive decision: "Immediately gather the villagers and evacuate to Kaihuang City. This is not something we can handle; we must report to the city lord first."

Rumble!
Before the big man could finish speaking, his voice was interrupted by a thunderous roar, which came from the mountains. At first glance, it sounded like Mount Tianzhu had collapsed!
For a moment, countless villagers in Luo Family Village showed expressions of fear.

Even the burly man, who considered himself quite knowledgeable, was shocked and stared in disbelief at the narrow rift that had been suddenly torn open above Tianzhu Mountain!
"The sky has cracked!?"

The descriptions in the ancient books flashed through the big man's mind. The stories he had only seen in novels were now in reality, which made him feel at a loss.

A celestial demon has entered the world?

A celestial demon has entered the world!

In an instant, billions of stars in the sky were lit up at the same time, especially the sun and moon, which shone brightly and shone on the crack.

Almost simultaneously, cracks appeared in the eyes of all the martial artists who had lit up their Destiny Stars. They felt as if the constraints imposed by their Destiny Stars on them had been completely released, and they no longer needed to be bound by the identity bestowed upon them by their Destiny Stars. A strong and irresistible thought arose in their hearts:
"kill!"

They killed the people who came out of the rift!
He who takes the head first shall be king of the world!
