Boom boom boom!
A series of deafening roars echoed through the palace, making the witnesses' ears ring and their vision blur.
At this moment, Fang Xiu was like a lone boat adrift in a raging sea, constantly battered by the wind and waves, swaying precariously, and in danger of sinking at the slightest misstep.
"Hahaha... Kid, you think you're so good at dodging? What good is dodging then! If you're so capable, keep dodging!"
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Official, who had been suffering a lot of anger, finally got his revenge at this moment.
Despite several close calls, Fang Xiu remained calm. He had thought that with his nine times speed, he could easily toy with a demigod, even if he was no match for him. But now he realized that a demigod was indeed not to be underestimated.
To become a demigod, one must naturally master countless secret techniques and unleash one's power to the fullest. It is likely that even with nine times the speed, without activating the ethereal transformation, one would still not have been able to escape from Xu Ruohai's grasp.
Only with such overpowered abilities as the ability to etherealize can one gain an advantage against a demigod.
Just like now, breaking through the resistance of Shuiyuntian is very simple; just activate the ethereal ability. However, this is different from when we used the ethereal ability to break through the Nine Luminaries Locking Heaven Formation before. Back then, we only activated it for a fraction of a second, and it was just enough to pass through a wall.
Now everything is different. The surroundings are covered by the Water Cloud Heaven. It takes a long time to activate the Illusion Transformation to get out of the Water Cloud Heaven. But once you do that, it means that your identity as a True God will be exposed. Even if you survive this tribulation, you will still be hunted down by other demigods or even True Gods.
This feeling is similar to using a lock-on cheat in a shooting game. The risk of being banned is completely different depending on whether you kill one person or ten people with the lock-on cheat, and it is much easier for the system to detect it.
Fang Xiu fell into deep thought, but how could he deal with the current situation without activating the Void Transformation? It was just a pity that the Time Mark was still 600 strands short of completely transforming into Time Laws to break through to the seventh rank; otherwise, with the power of the seventh rank, he might be able to give it a try.
Gradually, the attacks of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Officials and the others became more and more urgent, leaving Fang Xiu with less and less space to move around. However, Emperor Liuyun was getting a little impatient.
"Useless! This week, Qingfeng fell under my spell of the Water Cloud Heaven, and you still haven't been able to subdue him after all this time!" Emperor Liuyun roared.
The Nine Luminaries Celestial Officials were immediately panicked and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please give us a little more time. We can kill this fiend immediately!"
"Hmph, I've given you plenty of time. Guards! Where are the celestial soldiers and generals?"
With Emperor Liuyun's command, a tidal wave of celestial soldiers and generals surged forth from the surrounding void. These soldiers wore silver celestial armor and held bright silver spears. Although most of them were only True Immortals, their sheer number of people—tens of thousands—was overwhelming.
Among them are dozens of Immortal Lords and generals at the Immortal Venerable level, revealing the true strength of the entire Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty.
Faced with the overwhelming influx of immortals into the battlefield, Fang Xiu's living space became increasingly cramped.
Although the pressure on the Nine Luminaries Immortal Officials was greatly reduced, they were not happy at all in the face of the emperor's disappointment, so they could only vent their anger on Fang Xiu.
"Zhou Qingfeng! Don't you like fortune telling? Heh, then why don't you tell your own fate? Oh, right, you don't need to tell your fate at all, because today is the day you die!"
To have your own fortune told?
Fang Xiu's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to realize something.
He recalled the days he spent telling fortunes in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, calculating the fates of countless people, but never his own!
The Time Mark condensed 129,000 paths, with the last 600 paths becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend. This is because most people's fates are similar, whether they are True Immortals or Immortal Emperors. After you have counted countless people, you will find that there is actually no difference in essence. It's just that some people are more extraordinary and some are more ordinary.
In terms of unique destiny, rich experience, and unpredictable future, who can compare to me?
A destiny not belonging to this world, an experience of facing ghosts and gods to save the world, and a future entangled with his wife...
With this thought in mind, Fang Xiu had a new idea. He finally understood where to find the remaining six hundred Time Marks.
They are within yourself!
What he needs to comprehend is the time law that belongs only to him. How could this law only contain other people's time and not his own?
Suddenly, Fang Xiu stopped in his tracks, letting the crowd surround him.
"What? Have you resigned yourself to your fate?" the sword-wielding celestial official sneered.
Fang Xiu seemed not to hear him, staring at the other person: "You're right, I really should have my fate told."
The sword-wielding immortal official was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when he saw Fang Xiu close his eyes and begin to tell his own fortune. He didn't need to feel his bones or read his palm to tell his own fortune, because with his current level of cultivation, he already knew his own body like the back of his hand. This was a basic skill that every true immortal could do.
Just when he thought Fang Xiu was waiting to die, suddenly, the sound of rushing water came from the void.
Everyone was startled. "What was that sound?"
The next second, a shocking scene unfolded!
Suddenly, a mighty river appeared in the void, seemingly surging from an endless unknown place and heading towards the end of heaven and earth.
In the long river of time, the destinies of all things in heaven and earth intertwine and rotate, and endless fates rise and fall within it. In a daze, one can almost see the changes of the world evolving within it, with the past, present, and future slowly flowing by.
The entire river exudes an aura of supreme power, mystery, and taboo, making anyone who glances at it feel their fate is unstable, as if they are about to be trapped within it.
"This is... the River of Destiny!!"
"What on earth is going on! Why did the River of Destiny suddenly manifest!?"
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Official and the others were terrified and retreated repeatedly, because the River of Destiny had flowed around Fang Xiu and tightly enveloped him.
"He...he...he's telling his own fortune? Who is he, and what kind of destiny does he possess? He can even summon the River of Fate!"
The crowd retreated frantically, fearing they might be swept away by the river of fate. However, some unlucky souls were slow to retreat and were inevitably caught in its wake.
When a drop of river water fell on those people, their eyes went blank for a moment, and their souls seemed to fall into an endless cycle of reincarnation. The fates of countless people throughout history were intertwined with theirs. In the end, they could no longer distinguish who they were, or even whether they were human, dog, or even a stone. They sank into the long river of fate.
On the high platform, the giant of immortal light, Emperor Liuyun, who had been sitting upright, suddenly stood up and looked at Fang Xiu, who was immersed in the river of destiny, with utter shock. His mind was shaken.
Even as a demigod, he felt insignificant, like an ant, before the river of fate.
It's like you're the richest person on Earth, but when you're actually in the universe, you'll feel your own insignificance; the two are not even on the same level.
