Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1007 Elbow Ancestral Spirit (33)

An Jing, however, seemed to have anticipated this. Instead of dodging, he transformed his sword into a palm and advanced instead of retreating, grabbing the sharp deer antlers. Layers of dragon scale armor rolled around his body, and his muscles bulged!

— Head-on collision, weight against weight, force against force!

The Kunyu Divine Deer possesses the Dao of Life, and its power is boundless. However, Anjing is also a Dao-transformed physical body, with a foundation that is perfectly integrated.

Perhaps the former has a higher power ceiling, but at this moment, both sides are qualified to compete head-on!

An Jing could even clearly sense the purest essence of the Way of Power contained within the opponent's vast power.

This is the real reason why he accepted the challenge from the ancestral spirit, because only through such a pure and positive clash of forces can he directly comprehend the 'immortal deeds' possessed by the ancient and primordial beasts!
Boom! ! !
Around the two figures, countless rock layers shattered and collapsed.

The earth groaned, trembled, and wailed. The original wasteland, under the aftershocks of their struggle, rose up and transformed into new mountains.

The transmitted force caused the sandstone and rock layers to resemble boiling ocean waves, with large swathes of solid rock cracking and shifting, rolling and spreading in all directions layer upon layer.

A terrifying surge of power swept silently across the distance, instantly turning the seemingly intact rocks that protruded from the ground into dust. A gust of wind swept through, reducing everything to nothing but dust.

Right beside both sides, the newly risen sacred mountain was not spared either. It was swept by this power fluctuation, and a heart-palpitating muffled sound came from the depths of the mountain, like bones breaking. Countless cracks quietly spread across the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain collapsed with a deafening roar, and countless stones and rocks fell like a torrent. The boulders tumbled and shrank as they rolled, eventually merging into the torrent of sand and rocks, forming a massive dust storm!

But ahead of the torrent of dust, the two figures still locked in combat clearly had no intention of backing down.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Their bones circulated, and pure physical power surged forth. On their bodies, muscles trembled slightly, yet even so, they transmitted incredible power, causing the atmosphere to emit continuous, terrifying explosions.

Every subtle pressure and collision between their bodies creates a shockwave millions of times larger on the outside.

The raging, overwhelming mudslide was as if it had crashed into an invisible high wall. Invisible shockwaves shot out, forcibly stopping the surging dust flow, causing it to swirl back and pile up into unwilling arc-shaped counter-currents, ultimately forcing it to helplessly split to both sides!
In the midst of this pure clash of strength, a sudden flash of enlightenment appeared in An Jing's eyes.

"The ultimate power is the way of destiny..."

He whispered, his voice barely audible amidst the roar: "Like mountains layered upon each other, endlessly compressed..."

"I see, I understand now. How powerful! The path is right beneath my feet!"

In the blink of an eye, An Jing clenched his left fist, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and slammed the fist solidly into the rock-like face of the Kunyu Divine Deer!
Bang!
A tremendous explosion! The immense impact instantly stretched the thick neck of the Kunyu Divine Deer, turning it into a giraffe. In the next instant, its body was propelled by this unstoppable force, hurtling backward and crashing heavily into the distant cliffs.

But in the next instant, a cloud of dust shot into the sky, and the figure of the Kunyu Divine Deer burst out of the dust at a speed even faster than flying backwards!
It was enveloped in the brightest light of earth and stone, its entire body shining like gold, having exerted all its strength and unleashed its last bit of power!

At this moment, the Kunyu Divine Deer unleashed both palms, forcefully pushing towards An Jing's location. The force of this push was so immense that it exceeded the limits of its physical body. Its flesh and blood were burned away, leaving only its bones, which shone like topaz!

Faced with the Kunyu Divine Deer's deadly attack, An Jing's expression was solemn, but he was not nervous at all. He moved slightly, and just as the opponent's bone palm was about to touch his chest, his right hand shot out like lightning.

The martial artist's five fingers, like hooks, precisely caught the wrist of the Kunyu Divine Deer as it fiercely pushed forward.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force erupted, forcefully pulling the raging giant's body to the right!
Then, he swayed his shoulder and slammed hard into the wide-open chest of the Kunyu Divine Deer.

boom!
The Kunyu Divine Deer trembled violently and staggered backward. In that instant, An Jing finally understood.

—The earth is force.

Incomparably heavy and endlessly concentrated, the land of the Seven Luminaries is inherently the [Way of Destiny].

Thick earth is strength, vast water is soul, eternal fire is spirit, and flowing wind is skill.

The fusion of earth and steel is the Way of Destiny!
"The sea doesn't need to think about how to be wet."

At this moment, An Jing's voice rang out, carrying a penetrating understanding that clearly reached the ears of the Kunyu Divine Deer: "There's no need to think about how thick the earth is."

“I haven’t fully grasped the immortal art of ‘the Way of Destiny’ yet, but you haven’t either.”

“You are the earth itself. You don’t need to think about many things like I do. You naturally possess everything.”

So you actually have to—

He took a step forward, lowered his body into a lunge stance, propelled his elbow forward with his shoulder, and raised his forearm like a steel whip, transforming his movement from extreme stillness to extreme motion!
An Jing delivered an elbow strike that concentrated all his strength, willpower, and even his complete understanding of the 'Way of Law' and 'Way of Fate'. It was like a vajra that could pierce through life and death, and he fiercely elbowed the Kunyu Divine Deer in the heart!
The Kunyu Divine Deer tried to block, but found that it had no strength left to resist.

Just as his elbow touched the rocky divine body, An Jing exhaled and exerted his strength!
"defeat!"

Boom! ! !
Like a thunderclap exploding on the earth, the force of the elbow strike penetrated everything. The body of the Kunyu Divine Deer was directly pierced by this elbow, and the primordial turbid energy accumulated in its chest cavity for thousands of years was forcibly squeezed out from its seven orifices and sprayed out!

"laugh--"

Thick, grayish-yellow, turbid air, like a column of volcanic smoke, carrying a pungent sulfurous odor, violently overflowed from its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

The air currents rubbed and collided violently, causing countless ember-like sparks to fly out between its mouth and nose.

The Kunyu Divine Deer lowered its head, looking at the hole pierced through its chest, then raised its head to look at An Jing.

It smiled.

It was a liberating, exhilarating, and fulfilling laugh.

The next moment, its enormous body, along with its joyful smile, began to disintegrate and dissipate silently, turning into countless dazzling fragments of spiritual energy that vanished into the wind.

All this pure life essence transformed into a torrent, flowing together with the already formed [Seven Luminaries Star-Suppressing True Talisman] in the distance, and entered the cave within An Jing's body.

Buzz!

At the very moment this power was absorbed, the tranquil cave world trembled violently.

At the same time, the entire secret realm began to collapse because it lost the support of the ancestral spirit.
