Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1006 Breaking the Cycle of Reincarnation (23)

Haha, how long has it been?
After being devoured and suppressed by the Ancestral Dragon, He was no longer just Him, but rather a being mixed with all the other primordial giants known as the 'Ancestral God of Earth' and 'Divine Beast of the Land,' transforming into the divine light that flowed around the Ancestral Dragon.

It no longer has a self, but is a law, the 'Dragon Qi' controlled by the Ancestral Dragon.

But just now...

Anjing's sword strike killed 'Chengyu Divine Deer True Lord'.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword precisely severed the connection between Heaven and Earth and Him, severing the laws He governed.

If the Heavenly Punishment Sword had not severed its connection with the 'Illuminating Scale Realm' or, in other words, with the Ancestral Dragon Scale, then in that instant, it would have been severely injured by the shattering of its fundamental divine power, the Heaven-Turning Seal, and subsequently utterly pulverized by the backlash of the secret realm's power, turning into a wisp of Ancestral Dragon Qi, and returning to the endless cycle of the Illuminating Scale Realm once more.

Therefore, the trial has been passed.

[Chengyu Shenzhang Zhenjun] has indeed been killed by Anjing's Heavenly Punishment Sword.

but.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword also severed the connection between the Ancestral Dragon Scale and Him.

Therefore, He.

Or perhaps...

it.

【Primordial Ancestral Spirit - Kunyu Divine Deer】, is free.

It is no longer part of the Ancestral Dragon Qi, but a free, immortal... Ancestral Divine Beast!

The moment he finally understood what this meant, Chengyu Zhenjun—no, Kunyu Shenzhang—suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly bright light in his hazy, chaotic eyes.

The mythical beast with a deer's head and a human body raised its head, almost yearningly meeting the gaze of the serene creature that calmly looked down upon it from mid-air.

In that instant, the memories sealed deep within the soul, from the ancient times, the initial beginnings of Huaixu, surged forth like a flood bursting its banks. It recalled the years when it roamed the primordial land as one of the earliest ancient gods.

Freedom, freedom... freedom to live, freedom to die!

But what about now? How pathetic! How pathetic! We are not in control of our own lives, nor can we control our own deaths!
This is the price of failure, the 'ending' that all losers must acknowledge.

only……

—Defeated by the Ancestral Dragon, it was defeated by the progenitor who was also the first true spirit. Though it was defeated, it was still glorious.

—So, what about losing to Anjing?
When Kunyu Shenzhang met the gaze of that young Divine Treasure warrior who could kill even a True Monarch and sever the connection between heaven and earth, he revealed a smile.

Then, it raised its head to the sky and let out a roar that was not like that of a god, but rather like that of a pure beast!

The stone staff of the Breath of Earth, which it held tightly in its palm and which symbolized being tamed by the Ancestral Dragon and represented civilization and wisdom, now appeared dull and heavy without the blessing of the Scale Realm.

Therefore, it is not necessary.

Without hesitation, the Kunyu Divine Deer hurled the giant club to the side!
Boom! The giant club crashed into the distant earth, kicking up clouds of dust.

Immediately afterwards, its thick, pillar-like right hand suddenly rose and clenched in mid-air!
The air within a hundred miles was instantly seized and stirred by an unimaginable, immense force!
A long, narrow column of tornadoes suddenly formed, connecting the dim sky with the shattered earth. Its enormous suction force swept up countless pebbles from the desert, mountains, and abysses. Billions of pebbles collided, rubbed, squeezed, and burst out with billions of dazzling sparks in the high-speed rotating airflow!
In the blink of an eye, this terrifying sandstorm tornado transformed into a burning pillar of sandstorm fire!
Then, the Kunyu Divine Deer violently swung the entire pillar of flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas down towards An Jing!

Boom! !

Faced with an attack that could easily destroy a mountain range and wipe it off the map in an instant, An Jing stood suspended in the air, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

"Seeking death? Ancestral spirits?"

The sandstorm and pillars of fire carried the power to destroy the world. This was no longer a trial for the ancestral spirit, but the divine power unleashed by a true primordial beast. Although its power was much weaker than during the time of True Monarch Chengyu, the sophistication of its principles had reached an unexpected level. But what use was such a thing to him?
The destructive sandstorm crashed down on Anjing, and the billions of rubble contained within it, like the most violent meteor shower, instantly pierced countless bottomless holes in the ground within a radius of a hundred miles. Smoke and dust mixed with rubble powder and flames shot into the sky.

However, at the very peak of that destructive torrent, at the very summit of that impact powerful enough to topple mountains, a hand reached out.

An Jing caught the very tip of this destructive torrent with the palm of his hand.

Not retreating. Not moving. Not shifting an inch.

Then, he slowly closed his five fingers... and then clenched them tightly!
boom!
The entire pillar of fiery sandstorm was crushed by him out of thin air and instantly disintegrated!

The raging spiritual energy completely spiraled out of control and exploded, transforming into countless uncontrolled turbulent currents that shot in all directions, turning the sky fiery red.

This was not a fatal attack at all.

It was nothing more than a 'provocation'.

"I understand what you mean."

And in this crimson glow, An Jing slowly stepped forward.

Reborn and transformed, he opened his hands once more, revealing only a crimson mark in the center of his palm, which quickly faded away.

An Jing calmly said, "You want to be killed by me, to truly die, to become my power, instead of being recycled by the Ancestral Dragon and continuing this endless cycle of reincarnation."

At this point, the corners of his mouth slowly turned upwards into a bright smile: "Then I'll grant your wish."

"To make you die completely."

"It will never be born again."

After speaking, An Jing's figure disappeared from the spot.

He threw a straight punch, faster than the eye could see, and it landed squarely on the chest of the Kunyu Divine Deer!

Thud! A deep, muffled sound, like a god striking an ancient bronze bell, and a visible shockwave suddenly spread out from the point of contact between the fist and the body!
The Kunyu Divine Deer winced in pain, yet revealed an expression of unparalleled pleasure. It suddenly lowered its head, completely abandoning all supernatural powers, and with its most primal fist, roared as it clashed with An Jing's raised fist once more!
boom!
A deafening explosion shook the entire wasteland, instantly raising boundless dust.

Kunyu Divine Deer felt a slight numbness in its arm and was taken aback.

Without using supernatural powers, even as an ancestral divine beast possessing the [Extreme Strength], I couldn't suppress my opponent in terms of pure physical strength?
Even slightly inferior?!

As for techniques, needless to say.

With his right fist facing each other, An Jing raised his left fist and, with a speed beyond his opponent's imagination, delivered a solid blow to the chin of the Kunyu Divine Deer.

The terrifying force erupted, sending it and the surrounding earth and rocks floating upwards. Then, An Jing stomped his foot and soared into the air, following closely behind. He then formed a sword with his right hand, gathering killing sword energy, and aimed straight for the throat of the Kunyu Divine Deer!

Although the Kunyu Divine Deer was knocked into the air and could not get any leverage from the ground for a moment, its fighting instincts did not falter in the slightest. Instead of defending itself, it stomped down with one of its hind hooves like a shooting star!

Willow Earth Deer is a constellation, and Meteorite is also part of the earth. The sword energy and the Meteorite's hoof collided violently in mid-air, neither giving way, and they fought continuously, bursting out dazzling divine light.

But in the end, An Jing was the better one! With a flick of his wrist, his sword energy slashed diagonally, cutting open the flesh and blood of the Kunyu Divine Deer's leg. But just as he was about to expand his gains, his attack slowed down slightly.

It's now!

Driven by instinct, the Kunyu Divine Deer immediately seized the opportunity when Anjing's offensive slowed down, unleashed its power, and sank its body downwards, forcibly making contact with the ground.

Immediately afterwards, it pressed its body forward, its thick, mountain-like horns tearing through the air, and violently rammed into An Jing's chest!
