Destiny is ashes

Chapter 750: Showing the Truth (7600, thanks to Shen Tingxuan for his support!)

Amidst the rolling dust and smoke, the original Welcoming Peak Square was completely destroyed, becoming a huge sunken bowl-shaped pit. In the center of the pit, the red light of the lava flickered, dimly illuminating two figures, one standing and one lying.

The standing figure is a young warrior. He is wearing platinum armor. The armor is solid and majestic. The Gengjin Evil outlines mysterious Taoist patterns on its surface. As the spiritual light flashes, it exudes an indestructible aura.

He stood in a deep sunken pit, looking down at the human figure lying in the lava, with no intact part of his body.

He was undoubtedly the winner of the battle.

But An Jing did not let down his guard. Even though the crowd around him exclaimed and praised him one after another, and the shouts from the people of Mingjing Sect for his victory were like a tide, he still kept a calm expression and stared intently at the human figure that was slowly crawling and struggling to stand up.

"Kan Youli."

He said, "What are you waiting for? If you are a warrior, use your true strength."

The man who was beaten with thousands of punches and had all his bones broken, Shenzang Zhenren Kan Youli, opened his blue-gray eyes and returned An Jing's cold gaze.

And in those eyes, there was even a hint of...nostalgia.

Death—he had indeed felt that taste just now.

Death. Death...

What a familiar taste.

'Kan Youli' is not his real name, or rather, he does not have a name given by his parents. He is the mixed-race illegitimate son of a Dachen merchant and a Chenli woman on the border between Chenli and Dachen. He was not recognized by his father, and his mother was expelled from the tribe. He wandered with his mother since he was young, and when his mother died of hemorrhage caused by malnutrition, he became a wild child without a father or a mother, without a hometown or relatives, wandering alone between heaven and earth.

He was only three years old at that time, how could he survive normally? He might have died, or he might have been barely alive. When the warriors of Taiming Sect met him, his body had already developed corpse spots, but he was still able to move. His pair of gray-green eyes could keenly capture the vitality of Yang, allowing him to hunt mice, rabbits and insects like a wild animal. He was simply a zombie.

[Yang becomes Yin]

This is the name of his fate. After losing all the innate causes and effects, the orphan fell into the gap between life and death. The transformation of yin and yang was instinctive for him. The Taiming Sect named him 'Kan Youli', which means Kan Youli Ming. He was born to be a warrior of the Taiming Sect.

Here, he learned to be a human being.

The Taiming Sect is extremely good to its own people. Kan Youli knows very well that the Taiming Sect has done more for him to survive, become a warrior, and become who he is today than it did for his own parents. So, according to tradition, when the Taiming Sect asked him to give his life for the sect, he just thought it was natural.

"Master, what do I need to do?"

[As an envoy, attend the Mingjing Sect ceremony]

Master, the former True Person, now True Lord, True Lord Fenmie of Taiming Sect said: [This mission is extremely dangerous. In order to avoid Mingjing Sect’s suspicion, we need a true genius, a True Person with sufficient strength and potential to be the team leader]

[What you need to do is to attract the attention of Mingjing Sect alone and investigate the movements of the lower-level warriors of Mingjing Sect. The sect’s real plan cannot be told to you to prevent you from being read by their mind or soul searched. Even this memory needs to be encrypted. However, if it really comes to that, you will definitely not survive. The plan must have already been launched.]

In fact, this means offering oneself as a sacrifice to the Mingjing Sect, so that they can eat him up in one bite, so as to prevent them from discovering more important targets further away.

"it is good."

So Kan Youli agreed without hesitation - if it was a younger warrior, such as Ye Yuelong who had been locked up in the confinement room, he might still feel confused and dissatisfied, and be shaken by the sect's idea of ​​treating him as a "discarded child".

But for him, who has become a god and a high-level figure in the Taiming Sect for a long time, death is just the beginning of a new life.

【Um】

Seeing Kan Youli's calm response, True Lord Fenmie also nodded calmly: [With your mentality, your true soul's reincarnation will surely be very smooth... Don't worry, the sect will never treat you unfairly. Tai Ming is fair, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it.]

"I do not mind."

Kan Youli said: "I live because of the sect, so I can die for the sect. It's a matter of course."

Yes, that's it.

And Fenmie smiled and said: [You fully understand, this is the quality that Taiming Sansheng needs most]

Kan Youli actually knew exactly what the sect wanted to do. Ever since the Imperial Court collapsed due to the chaos of ghosts and gods, and the Youli Sea in Beixuan Sacrifice Continent was completely out of control, the Taiming Sect, which was born from the corpse of the Imperial Court, has been committed to "clearing the Youli and rebuilding the cycle of reincarnation."

Over the past ten thousand years, they have indeed accomplished most of their mission: the Taiming Sect has rebuilt the most basic reincarnation process. At the very least, within the scope of the Chenli world, they can indeed control it.

If other sects rely on the fate siphon effect brought about by large-scale spiritual lands and caves, and absorb most of the destinies on the spot based on the principle of nearby screening, then Taiming Sect can guarantee that any fate from Taiming Sect, and a portion of strong and tough souls that meet the conditions, can return to Taiming Sect in the reincarnation ritual presided over by the "Three Lives Mirror".

The scope of application of this ritual is the entire world!

It doesn't sound like a big deal.

But in reality, it is very scary.

The spiritual land of Mingjing Sect was created by the warriors who passed away in meditation at the mountain gate, or the core of the spiritual land was recovered and re-cultivated by the sect after their death.

The fate of those warriors who died outside will also be lost and redistributed by heaven.

This means that if a sect wants to grow, it must settle in one place, but if a warrior wants to grow personally, he must go out to gain experience. This contradictory duality of wanting to stay and also wanting to go out to explore is a serious problem that all sects have to face.

Many sects became so weak that they could never recover because they lost too many disciples in training, or because their masters died in great wars and most of their resources were stolen by others.

However, the reincarnation ritual of the Taiming Sect ensures that as long as their warriors die around Chenli, their souls and destinies, and even most of the evil spirits of the underworld, will be transferred to the small underworld city inside the Taiming Sect.

Even... not just from the Taiming Sect.

As long as the evil spirits are related to the underworld, or even to the Yin element, they will all be incorporated into the Taiming Sect.

The power to rule over the underworld is [Tai Ming of the Virtual God].

This is the benefit of being in charge of [Reincarnation]. As one gains strength while the other loses strength, the Taiming Sect will become the undisputed number one sect in Chenli and even in the Northern Frontier. With the gathering of luck, it is not impossible for another Lingxiao to emerge again.

It should be noted that the Great Court of the Gods in the past was the one that controlled the reincarnation of Hou Tu in Beixuan Continent and the movement of the stars in the sky. All the spirits and evil spirits related to the heaven, earth, yin and yang, stars, mountains and seas belonged to the Divine Court. If people in the world wanted to practice, they could only practice the five elements of spirits and evil spirits. All other paths were monopolized by the Divine Court.

This is a successful path that has been proven to be successful. Even the current Dachen Empire also controls yin and yang, but has learned from the lessons of the Yushen Court and did not monopolize the spiritual evil. Instead, it transformed it into a mysterious network of earth veins to condense divine weapons and suppress the four directions.

Precisely because of the great achievements of the Taiming Sect, all the True Men and True Lords in the entire sect who have learned about "reincarnation" are extremely indifferent to life and death. It's not that they don't want to live, but the martial arts cannot lead to immortality. So, to sacrifice one life and have the sect strongly support one's second and third lives is naturally a temptation that no one can resist.

Even if I need to solve the mystery in the womb to be considered the 'complete self', but if I can't even solve the mystery in the womb, then I'll just die, you useless thing, you deserve not to live a second life!

——So, should I die now?
Die in peace, die at the hands of this young man, and fulfill the sect's instructions to me?
Kan Youli thought so.

Not bad at all. Although he was careless, An Jing's strength was absolutely perfect. The Taibai battle armor that was built with all the strength of the Mingjing Sect was indeed the prototype of Tianwu that could cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth. Being defeated by such a divine being did not disgrace his identity.

but……

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, passing in an instant, but to outsiders, it seemed that Kan Youli's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and he was about to "fall"!

"Hey, Kan Youli's breath is getting weaker and weaker. Is he really going to die here?" Someone among the onlookers said in surprise.

"How could this happen? Although the Mingjing Sect has been at odds with the Taiming Sect for nearly a thousand years, there has never been a large-scale full-scale conflict. But now, the leader of the Mingjing Sect killed a real envoy at the ceremony. Is a civil war about to start within the Five Chenli Sects?" People were talking about it, extremely surprised.

"No." Among the envoys, there were people who knew more about the basic cultivation of Taiming Sect. An old man in the Dachen envoys said in a deep voice: "Taiming Sect controls the way of the netherworld and has always regarded the flesh as a shell. The reason why Kan Youli lost this time was entirely because he was too arrogant and let An Jing get close to him. That's why he was suppressed and couldn't escape at all. He couldn't play to his true advantages and use the fighting methods he is best at."

"Look, Kan Youli can release hundreds of spells in an instant. How can such a master of magic and martial arts fight alone?"

How could anyone here really not know what was going on? After hearing this, they immediately realized, "Yes, where are the ghosts and gods of the Taiming Sect?"

"Where are the ghosts and gods of Kanyouli?"

Silently, Kan Youli's bloody body stood up, and the blue-gray [Huang Fu Ming Sha] flowed through the acupoints and meridians of his body. In an instant, all the bones and meridians that were shattered by An Jing's Taibai battle armor were reconnected and restored. The warrior's body was recovering rapidly, becoming visibly tougher and stronger, growing fangs and claws, and no longer resembling a human, but like an ancient god's corpse that had crawled out of an ancient coffin!

puff.

Kan Youli's body stood straight, and several arms suddenly grew out from his shoulders. They were thin and slender, with dark claws. An even more powerful aura was emerging. The black netherworld smoke seemed real and illusory, wrapping around his body, vaguely transforming into armor and weapons. His five arms each held a longbow, a long sword, a spear and a broadsword.

Two more eyes grew on his cheeks, located below the original eyes. They were also blue-gray, but more ominous and contained a sense of death.

And behind this human figure that has been completely deformed and begun to transform into a ghost body, a thin human figure is floating quietly. That is Kan Youli's soul!

Different from the ordinary Taiming Sect warriors who controlled ghosts and gods to fight as servants, Kan Youli had never enslaved any ghosts or gods. What he controlled was his own body!
"Oh?"

Seeing this scene, An Jing's eyes lit up. The opponent's move was similar to the way he used the "me in the mirror" to control the Taibai Battle Armor!

Obviously, Kan Youli can bless his body with various special skills that were originally only bestowed on ghosts and gods. Although he himself only has a soul, it does not affect his ability to control the magic weapons and cast spells at all.

Cooperating with yourself, this is Kan Youli's true fighting form!
This dual combat mode

The old man who was watching laughed out loud, and said with great satisfaction: "Look, the ghosts and gods of the Taiming Sect have appeared. This is the real beginning!"

But unfortunately, things have reached this point and can no longer continue.

[Kan Youli, take the Taiming Sect's team and get out of our Mingjing Sect! ]

At this moment, a huge and majestic voice suddenly sounded around Yingke Peak. It was one of the eight True Lords present from Mingjing Sect, Yulun True Lord from Yuansha Peak!

Hearing this voice, Kan Youli, who was controlling the body of ghosts and gods and observing the flaws of An Jing, suddenly stopped, turned his head abruptly, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, with great fear.

"what."

Hearing this voice, An Jing knew that this more intense "second battle" would definitely not be fought. He also looked thoughtfully in the direction where Yu Lun Zhenjun's voice came from.

——Master Yulun...isn’t he the one who is possessed by the devil and is most likely cooperating with the Taiming Sect?
Without thinking about it any more, he looked at Kan Youli and shook his head, "How stupid! Why didn't you use ghosts and gods at the beginning?"

"Are you still concerned about the relationship between our two sects? Are you still afraid that you will be driven away and unable to participate in some things? Or do you think that dealing with a martial vein like mine, using the big to bully the small, is not something that needs to be taken so seriously?"

Shaking his head, An Jing looked at Kan Youli, whose expression was becoming increasingly gloomy, and said calmly: "Thinking about these things has reduced the purity of your martial arts. Otherwise, you would never have been defeated by me so quickly."

"but."

The young warrior smiled and said cheerfully, "You can relax now. Because you have been defeated by me. This is the truth. You don't need to think about it."

"Weak."

As soon as these words were spoken, even with Kan Youli's temperament, his breathing quickened for a moment.

But he didn't react at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and held back. He turned around and said to the Taiming Sect's envoys who were terrified and didn't know if they could leave Mingjing Sect alive: "Let's go!" And An Jing looked at them with regret as they turned around and left - he actually managed to hold back and not take action.

An Jing really has to look up to Kan Youli.

At the same time, the crowd that was already talking about this thing burst into laughter: "Haha, what a sharp-tongued kid!"

"You can tolerate this? Kan Youli, are you a human or a turtle?"

"I think you should stop calling me anything else. From now on I'll just call you Cuckold!"

This is the warrior spirit of Huaixu - not to mention that this place is the home ground of Mingjing Sect and everyone is hostile to Taiming Sect. Even if everyone is neutral, everyone will appreciate the warrior style of fighting to the end and fighting to the death, rather than the shrewd thinking of judging the situation.

Kan Youli didn't say anything more. He silently led the frightened Taiming Sect envoys away and walked towards the Mingjing Sect's mountain gate.

Looking at the backs of the Taiming Sect's envoys, An Jing raised his brows. Many parts of his body that were overloaded due to the activation of Zhitianshi were slowly recovering under the repair of "Chengchunse".

Then, he turned around, and his body gradually floated in the air under the support of the Taibai battle armor. An Jing looked around at everyone present, whether they were envoys from various parties or members of the Mingjing Sect, and announced: "Everyone, everyone who comes is a guest. We welcome all guests to the Mingjing Sect's grand ceremony - but please remember that since you are a guest, you must abide by the duties of a guest, and since you are in the sect, you must follow the rules of the Mingjing Sect!"

"If you have your own requests and ideas, there is also a guest house outside the mountain gate where you can live. If you have any opinions about the disciples of the Mingjing Sect, you can complain to us and we will handle it ourselves. Private duels are absolutely not allowed. This is an iron rule that cannot be compromised!"

"If you violate..."

An Jing raised his hand, pointed at the backs of Kan Youli and the others, and said in a sonorous voice: "Just like Taiming Sect!"

Wow!
"Well said, An Zhen Chuan!"

"Hahahaha, yes, just like the Taiming Sect, we have no objection!"

"Interesting, interesting. I'll listen to you this time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere, which was originally a bit dull due to An Jing's serious speech, was instantly ignited, and most of the warriors present burst into laughter - warriors naturally don't like to be bound, even if they are forced to abide by the rules because of the rule of the strong coming to the door, it is also a manifestation of their self-suppression.

But now, because of An Jing's merciless ridicule and hostility, his skillful pulling down, and even his temper that was omitted when they fanned the flames, they began to feel that in order to see more and hear more of An Jing's outrageous words and deeds, they had to abide by the rules and see the end of the ceremony!

That was definitely a very interesting ceremony!
"……you!"

Such naked humiliation and hostility made many members of the Taiming Sect delegation blush with anger, but Kan Youli took a deep breath, raised his hand, signaling all members of the delegation not to make trouble, and then walked down the mountain gate, ignoring the growing cheers behind him.

at the same time.

Towards Mount Tianyi.

"Who?"

In the Tianyi Shangzuntian Palace, the 'Emperor of Heaven' woke up from his long meditation. He frowned and looked at the water mirror in his hand: "The true meaning of heaven and man has resonated... Who used such a high-intensity 'Heavenly Time'?"

At this time, one can see that in the water mirror magic weapon in the hands of the Emperor Huangtian, which vaguely showed a bird's-eye view map of the entire Beixuan Jizhou, red waves were flashing rapidly in the direction of Chenli. This meant that there was a person who had cultivated the magical powers related to the time of the sky to the point of breaking through the realm of Tao.

At this point, Zhi Tianshi's abilities other than time acceleration will also quietly emerge... It's not just about accelerating himself, but also about making all intelligent life around him immersed in his domain of law feel that their own 'time is slowing down'!
"How is this possible? When was the true meaning of the Heavenly Man passed down? And who activated such a high level of Heavenly Time?"

Just when Huang Tian Fa Wang was in doubt, a voice appeared in his ear: [Don’t worry about him]

"Is this true? Do you really not care? Don't be ridiculous, Master?"

How could the Dharma King not know who the owner of this voice was? He reminded: "To be able to cultivate the Supreme Heavenly Man's True Understanding to such a level means that he is either destined by heaven or an extremely powerful divine destiny. This is proof of the qualifications of our sect's holy son, or even the sect leader!"

"Since he is so important, how can you just leave him out there? Could it be that you, the leader, want to stay in this position for a while longer and not let new people come up?"

[What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I will throw you into the sea of ​​heaven and earth and crush you into a spring.]

Originally, the leader of Tianyi was in a very happy mood, but he immediately became unhappy after hearing his deputy's brainless words: [The Shangxuan Sect used the "Dayan Heavenly Book" to cover up the cause and effect of the Northern Frontier. Now, I really can't tell the trajectory of his fate, but on the other hand, if I can't tell it at all, it means that they can't tell it either.]

[In order to conceal the secrets of heaven to the utmost, the Shangxuan Sect cannot even predict itself. In the final analysis, they do not fully grasp the 'Dayan Heavenly Book'... That is a relic of the Dao Court, not the Shangxuan Sect. This is a completely different concept.]

[Since the Shangxuan Sect itself can’t see clearly, then things will become interesting - this time, something beyond everyone’s imagination will definitely happen in Chen Li]

[Just wait and see, don't worry about him... trust our future Son]

after a while.

At Mingjing Mountain, except for Que Xiyi, all the True Lords of Mingjing Sect gathered together to discuss with An Jing about their previous fight with the True Lord of Taiming Sect.

"Well done, An Jing. The Taiming Sect always thinks they are the leader of the five Chenli Sects. Even though spying on each other is an unspoken rule, they don't hide it at all and even take it for granted."

Ye Po Zhenjun spoke first and defined the matter: "You did a good job, you should teach these idiots a lesson."

Chen Yinzi was even more direct: "Are you okay, Jing'er? I saw your hands were bleeding from the fight. Are you injured?"

Although An Jing did overload his body in order to accelerate Zhi Tianshi, most of the blood belonged to Kan Youli. Chen Yinzi's words completely ignored the pain of Kan Youli, who was beaten to a bloody mess and almost turned into a puddle of mud by An Jing. He did not regard the people of Taiming Sect as human beings at all.

"It's okay. I didn't get hurt this time." An Jing also smiled and responded to his master: "The Taibai Battle Armor is worthy of being the prototype of Tianwu forged by the old man Tianjun. With its help, ordinary Shenzang can't hurt me at all!"

Of course, having said that, in reality, the battle just now was very thrilling.

At the moment of the battle, Kan Youli released countless spells. Every spell, if it hit, would accumulate the "will of death" in the body of the person being hit.

This kind of attack can bypass defenses and even be blocked by weapons. Even Taibai Haoling's divine ban cannot block it. As long as the death intent accumulates to a certain level, even An Jing will die immediately.

An Jing was not injured because if he was really injured, he would be on the verge of death.

This mechanism is the characteristic of Taiming Sect's powerful skills, and is similar to Mingjing Sect's super high burst and "Two Against One in the Mirror".

In that case, then don’t block them - An Jing dodged all these attacks at twenty times the speed of Zhitianshi, with a perspective that almost seemed to stop time.

[The True Explanation of the Supreme Heavenly Man] gave An Jing many powerful abilities, but these abilities can only exert their ultimate effect if the foundation is strong enough. This is the case with Zhi Tianshi's acceleration. Only when An Jing's physical fitness is strong enough can he accelerate faster and last longer.

The Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition gave An Jing extremely high physical quality on his panel, allowing the ability of the Heavenly Man True Solution to be exerted 120%.

Coupled with the magical powers bestowed upon An Jing by 'Destiny' and the many combat methods he developed himself, An Jing can unleash powerful destructive power in one breath, and even a master of the sect's true teaching level like Kan Youli cannot resist it.

The three major inheritances, with the help of the 'Mingjing Battle Armor' derived from the Yuhua Dao, have begun to show the prototype of integration. An Jing has confirmed his future fighting method: relying on the powerful defense and strength of Taibai Haoling Divine Ban and Taibai Battle Armor, he will accelerate to approach the enemy through Zhitianshi, and then launch an overloaded continuous attack - if he can't solve it in one go, then rely on the healing power accumulated by 'Chengchunse' to recover, and try again a second time, a third time!

There are no fancy special effects, just simple and pure power. Instead, the enemy will start to have a headache about how to break An Jing's invincible tactics!

Ye Po and Chen Yinzi were naturally very satisfied with this. An Jing's Taibai battle armor was already so powerful that it could allow him to defeat the great sect masters across levels. So how powerful was Xi Yi's Zhulong battle armor?

"but……"

At this moment, Master Yangui, who had just recovered from a serious illness after exorcising the demon, pondered for a while: "If we damage the reputation of the Taiming Sect so severely, it will be a bit troublesome in the future. With the current situation of the sect, if we are targeted by the Taiming Sect, life will be a bit difficult."

"Also, An Jing said he has the Taibai Battle Armor, but in reality his strength is only at the level of Wumai. If he is targeted by the Taiming Sect, it will be very difficult for him to practice and gain experience in the future."

Zhenjun Yangui is a loyal minister, but he was possessed by a demon and is still recovering, so no one told him about Xiyi. He said that this statement was also for the future of the sect.

However, he underestimated the glorious past of Mingjing Sect.

"What's this?"

Chen Yinzi spoke, looking around at everyone present, especially the three older True Lords Pu Ming, Fu Jing and Bi Ying, and said slowly: "Three thousand years ago, a few of us used our martial vein bodies to jointly kill the True Lord of Tai Ming Sect. An Jing is just a disciple who has surpassed his master. He has accomplished what the five of us did back then."

"Being targeted? Haha, then we'll see whether it's the targeted person who feels bad or the targeted person who feels bad. In my opinion, those who cause trouble for An Jing should just wish themselves good luck in the future."

"Ok?"

As soon as Chen Yinzi finished speaking, the three veteran True Lords turned their heads and looked at each other.

Chen Yinzi looked at the three people calmly.

For a moment, the four old friends and old partners who had fought and struggled together for three thousand years seemed to see something in each other's eyes.

Finally, it was Chen Yinzi who suddenly laughed. He said with emotion: "I understand... So this time, I think An Jing did not make any mistakes. Instead, he needs to be rewarded!"

At the same time, outside the Mingjing Sect’s mountain gate.

"In my opinion, the people from the Mingjing Sect are so anxious to drive us away because they are guilty!"

The Taiming Sect's envoys have boarded the airship and are preparing to leave the Jiankong Mountains.

Sitting in the seat, the deputy team leader couldn't help but complain: "They definitely don't want us to discover their vulnerability, so they overreacted like this!"

Kan Youli was not interested in this failed resonance. He just closed his eyes and rested.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

The owner of this voice was none other than the True Lord of Mingjing Sect, True Lord Yulun, who had driven Kan Youli away from Yingke Peak earlier.

"Meet the True Lord."

In the sea of ​​gods, Kan Youli bowed deeply to the other party and said, "May I ask what instructions you have, Master?"

[You don't have to leave in a hurry, all of you stay, I can use you]

Yulun Zhenjun didn't say much either. He said directly: [There are other tasks for you to do next. Go to the west side of Mingjing Sect. I have set up a secret passage there.]

[Wait in the secret passage. When the time comes tomorrow, I will call you to come over immediately.]

"As ordered!"

Kan Youli bowed again, and the figure of Yu Lun Zhenjun quickly disappeared.

Looking up, Kan Youli looked towards the ceiling of the airship. His gaze seemed to be able to pass through the barrier and directly see the blue sky and white clouds above the sky.

"We won't leave." He said, attracting the attention of all the Taiming Sect envoys around him: "We will rest at the foot of the mountain gate and wait for instructions from our sect."

tomorrow.

At the ceremony tomorrow... everything will be revealed!
