Inside a secret room in the Marquis's residence.
He sat cross-legged, activating the Book of Stealing Heaven.
Within his dantian, the pale blue Qi was incredibly dense and slowly swirling.
As the nascent soul inhaled and exhaled, the power of fortune was rapidly refined, and then spread to every corner of its body.
As the last trace of fortune was refined, three vibrations resounded within Xiao Boqi's body.
Fourth level of Infant Formation!
At the very moment he refined the last bit of luck, Xiao Boqi clearly felt the changes in his body.
His body became incredibly ethereal, and the bottleneck to advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm vanished instantly.
With enough spiritual power, his strength can increase dramatically in a short period of time.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has already submitted.
There's no need to consciously absorb it; as long as you have a thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will flood into your body and be refined by your nascent soul.
The biggest change, however, came from the wisp of Heavenly Dao power stolen from the Book of the Thief God.
This wisp of Heavenly Dao power became even thicker, and the fragments of Heavenly Dao within it became clearer.
All these changes began the moment he plundered all of Ye Chen's luck.
The Grand Sky Competition meant nothing to Huang Boqi.
But it was the last stage he set up for Ye Chen.
How can you completely destroy a person's state of mind?
Nothing is more direct than being high above, feeling invincible, then crashing to the ground and ruthlessly crushing all that one has become proud.
From initially avoiding battle to Ye Chen appearing before everyone with an invincible demeanor, all of this was deliberately orchestrated by Ye Boqi.
Only by letting him float into the sky can he feel despair at the moment of his violent fall.
Everyone who makes it onto the Sky Ranking is a genius.
Geniuses all have their own pride, but this pride can instantly transform into friendship when faced with overwhelming strength and abundant wealth.
Because of the friendship with the invincible prince, they chose to admit defeat, and did so without any psychological burden.
The purpose of doing this was to cause cracks to appear in Ye Chen's mental state time and time again.
Is it troublesome?
Yes, a little bit, but we won't have to do that anymore.
Because of sufficient strength, if one wants to shatter a person's mindset instantly, simply suppressing them and making them feel despair is enough.
But when it comes to Ye Chen, Xiao Boqi is not afraid of trouble.
He was the first chosen one he faced, and also the one he was determined to kill.
Moreover, from the very beginning, Ye Boqi's purpose was not simply to obtain his fortune.
Instead, he should be made to experience all the suffering in the world before he dies.
Therefore, he chose the slowest, yet most devastating, method to destroy a person.
Killing someone slowly with a knife is the most painful and terrifying punishment in the world.
Everything was part of a script set up for Ye Chen.
Defeating Cheng Dan with one hand, that's really impressive. I'm so scared I've already hidden myself away.
I don't dare to take on your challenge, so you need to be tougher.
Just as Ye Chen was about to unleash his full power, Xiao Boqi appeared.
He knew that Ye Chen would be eager to kill him the moment he saw him, because his mental state had been shattered.
You want to face the challenge and kill me, but I'm not giving you that chance.
What I want is to give you that feeling of needing to pee so badly that your scalp tingles and your bladder is about to explode, but the toilet is right in front of you and you can't go in.
I'll suffocate you!
With each person who admits defeat, Ye Chen's mental vulnerability widens by one point.
Just as his emotions were churning and he could no longer control himself, Xiao Boqi issued a challenge to him.
The worst thing for a person is to experience extreme joy or sorrow.
For Ye Chen, whose mental state was already on the verge of collapse, the sudden excitement was like a potent poison.
He will definitely not give up this opportunity, and he will definitely do his best to kill the enemy in one blow.
but.
This is exactly what Ye Boqi wanted: to ruthlessly crush all of Ye Chen's reliance on others, to completely shatter his mindset, and to plunder the foundation of his destiny.
Ye Chen's shock and fear were palpable as his most powerful and proud attack was defeated with a mere wave of his hand.
Just as Ye Boqi knocked the academy elder from the royal family away with a punch, Ye Chen's strongest trump card appeared.
What he didn't know was that what he considered his backup plan and his sudden attack were both within Xiao Boqi's expectations.
How could a chosen one of destiny not have a trump card?
But the moment this so-called trump card was shattered in one blow was also the moment when Ye Chen's foundation of fortune was completely broken.
He was in despair because of the power of Qi Boqi.
This is also why Xiao Boqi kept holding onto Ye Chen's right fist.
Those whose fortune is taken away will surely suffer divine punishment.
However, he and Ye Chen were closely connected, and the Book of Stealing Heaven instantly stole Ye Chen's foundation of fortune.
The fortune didn't disappear; it just changed hands, so the divine punishment dissipated.
It was at the moment he plundered Ye Chen's foundation of fortune that Xiao Boqi sensed the change in the power of the Heavenly Dao within his dantian.
It has become gentle and spiritual.
It actually contained its own Heavenly Dao rules, although some of them were impacted by the fragments of Heavenly Dao power that had been forcibly seized by the Heavenly Book of the Thief.
However, a clear law of nature still exists.
The Law of Thunder.
This is Ye Chen's own Heavenly Dao Law, and it is also the Heavenly Dao Law that is inherent within his foundation of fortune.
Upon seeing this thunderous law, Xiao Boqi understood what the so-called chosen one meant.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to comprehend the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Some cultivators even spend their entire lives trying to understand a single complete law of the Heavenly Dao.
These damned chosen ones, however, are born with complete laws of heaven.
There is no need to comprehend it, nor is there any need to deliberately search for it.
Once your strength reaches a certain level, these inherent laws of nature will naturally appear.
Oh shit.
So it seems that these so-called chosen ones are all cheaters.
From the moment of birth, Heaven installed a cultivation cheat device within him.
They are born with a higher starting point than others, and they can easily obtain things that others struggle to achieve.
Moreover... their fates seem to have been predetermined.
Take Ye Chen for example; his very foundation is innately governed by the Law of Thunder.
Before that, he had found a ninth-level martial skill in the gambling domain, the Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist.
A martial art that specializes in the power of thunder.
Although this Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist was only a preliminary exploration of the power of thunder, it laid the foundation for the later emergence of the laws of thunder.
If you say that none of this is related, even a dog wouldn't believe you.
The Heavenly Dao must have a purpose in cultivating so many chosen ones and people destined for greatness.
As for what this purpose is, it is currently unknown to Xiao Boqi.
But the doubts from before resurfaced in my mind.
The Book of Stealing Heaven seems to have been created specifically for those destined for greatness.
More accurately, it was created specifically for interfering with the Way of Heaven.
So, what exactly was the background of the person who created the Book of Stealing Heaven?
What is his purpose?
