Chapter 750: The Flame (3)
Chapter 750: The Flame (3)
Ying did not hesitate, a solemn look appeared in her violet eyes. The void behind her had been torn apart, and even in the narrow gap of an instant, it was unable to stop Nanook's progress.
Judging from the previous situation, Nanook seemed to be feeling her strength, and the actual action he took was just a finger and a punch.
And that was simply to break through the space barrier leading to the Edo Star Region, and was never an attack solely against Sakura.
It's not that Nanook despises Sakura, but He needs to go to that star field to personally verify whether the path called existence is unchanging firewood... or an inextinguishable flame.
Without hesitation, and naturally without pause, Nanook took a step forward.
With a loud and crisp "bang", the dome, which was already on the verge of breaking, completely exploded, and the void beside Nanook continued to shatter into falling fragments in the entropy of destruction. From the perspective of the Edo Star Region, it looked like the sky of the universe had collapsed.
The originally brilliant sea of stars seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant claw, revealing the constantly collapsing turbulence of space.
Fortunately, on the eve of destruction, a soft yet extremely tough pale pink light curtain quietly covered the entire sky of Edo Star like an inverted bowl.
With Olivia's advance arrangement, the sky inside Edo Star was covered with a layer of false sky in advance, so that at least it would not cause unrest... Sakura's original words were that there was no need to let people suffer the fear of the sun again.
Sakura, who once lived in Izumo, knew best that what was more terrifying than death was despair. That deep despair was always there but would not immediately deprive people of their names. It was a mental pain like being tortured to death.
Most people would collapse under such pressure, but there are a very small number of people who still choose to fight in desperation, and they will still hold their swords tightly even if their hands are shaking.
In the past, Sakura could only watch all this happen, but now, perhaps she can protect something.
Sakura slowly tightened her grip around Chiying and Shuang.
But this is definitely not the moment to hold on. The authority of Shanshan suddenly flashed, and Ying disappeared in the narrow gap of Shanshan. The next moment, Ying's figure appeared on the alloy deck of the Black Tower's temporary port.
At this time, Huangquan, as the core of the entire star field, continued to gather the power of authority, and the outline of the destiny of existence gradually became clearer.
Sakura stood at the edge of the harbor with a slightly pale face. It was obvious that she was extremely exhausted from the battle just now. In the duel with Nanook, she had no choice but to give it her all, and each move consumed a lot of her mind.
No wonder Fu Xuan always said that things that require the brain are often the most tiring, so sweet tea is really extremely useful. Just drinking a sip can relieve a lot of stress.
"Give."
A calm and unquestionable voice sounded beside Ying. She looked up and saw Fu Xuan holding a cup of steaming sweet tea. He handed it to her steadily, "Here, add some sugar."
The recipe of sweet tea has been revised many times by Fu Xuan, and has evolved into several different versions with subtle changes. For example, the current sweet tea contains many soothing herbs brought from Dandingsi, which is different from the usual sweet tea.
Ying took it and drank it in one gulp. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She looked at Fu Xuan and asked softly, "Do you really want to do this?"
Fu Xuan nodded slightly and chuckled, saying, "We've been preparing for so long, we can't back down now." Her eyes were extremely determined, and at this moment, they looked even more like the paranoid look she had when she was on Luofu and wanted to resurrect An Ming.
A dark purple light suddenly appeared at the fingertips. The light was as weak as a spark at first, but soon rose like a meteor, reflecting her amethyst eyes.
When she took over the Dongxuan Zihui Formation from Fu Li, she learned that in addition to being able to be carried around and used, if one wanted to unleash its maximum power, one had to transform the formation into a world, just like Fu Li had done, in order to display the full power of the formation.
"Dongxuan Purple Emblem, activate!"
Fu Xuan shouted softly, and the magic formula was activated. Mysterious paths flowed through her fingertips. In a moment, thousands of purple streams burst out from under the Xingyuan, like a dome weaving from the bottom up, covering the entire sky, completely isolating Nanook from the underworld.
Since he already knew that Nanook would definitely come, how could Fu Xuan be completely unprepared? If he wanted to allow a fortune teller who could see through the mysteries of heaven and calculate everything to have enough time to set up a killing plan -
That would be enough to create an opportunity to kill God!
"Tianxuan, lock the soul!"
Different from the four chains that appeared when suppressing the Iron Tomb before, the chains that appeared at this moment flew out like meteors, connecting to the edges of the formation one after another.
Fu Xuan knew that it was almost impossible to touch Nanook directly. Instead of making an attempt that was doomed to fail, he decided to use the Soul Lock to further strengthen the formation itself.
When the meteor-like chain connected the entire formation, the next moment, under Fu Xuan's control, it pierced her own chest without hesitation.
Blood dripped along the chain, but Fu Xuan's amethyst eyes did not change at all. Only extreme calmness could find that glimmer of hope.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Dongxuan Purple Emblem Formation is the strongest formation in the entire universe, but Fu Xuan also clearly understands that even the strongest formation is as fragile as a mirror in front of Nanook.
It is impossible to use the formation to imprison Nanook, so it is better to do the opposite - Fu Xuan wants to use the Dongxuan Purple Emblem Formation to forcibly open up her limits.
Use your heart and soul to create a formation, and condense all the methods into the sword!
The entire Dongxuan Purple Emblem Array covering the Edo Star Region, under the irrigation of Fu Xuan's blood and sweat and the burning of his soul, turned into the most powerful enhancement bestowed upon Fu Xuan himself.
Use formation to create a world.
Use the realm to refine the sword.
Control everything with your mind!
The name of this sword is Wu Ming, which means a sword that is not bound by fate.
Cut off the shackles of fate and transcend the cycle of cause and effect.
At this moment, driven by the entire formation, the shadow of the Lifeless Sword is slowly taking shape.
Mysterious purple patterns flow on the sword body, inlaid with bright stars, and entangled with the thread of fate.
Fu Xuan transformed the Dongxuan Purple Emblem Array into heaven and earth, and used this heaven and earth as a weapon to amplify himself. He knew better than anyone that only by going against the will of heaven in this way could he gain a chance to kill a god in the face of absolute destruction.
Even though that glimmer of hope was so slim, so slim that there was no possibility at all, she still had to do it.
The reason he had been in a state of meditation beside the formation these days was not just to help the guardian Huang Quan, but also to prepare for this moment.
As a mere fortune teller, Fu Xuan's own combat power is not strong, but if he can cast this formation into a cause and effect that defies fate, he can make the Sword of No Life possess the glory of killing gods.
This sword embodies all the methods of divination.
This sword should kill all enemies.
Fu Xuan's face grew paler, but the Lifeless Sword condensed within the formation grew sharper and sharper. The space around the sword was silently annihilated because it could not withstand its sharpness.
When using his heart and blood to drive the formation, Fu Xuan could clearly sense that he could only maintain this peak state for a quarter of an hour at most, but if his opponent was Nanook...
one strike.
She only has time to strike once, after which the formation will be completely broken, and even the foundation of the formation itself will be damaged.
He transformed all the restrictive and restraining abilities of the formation into amplifying his own strength. Under the purple emblem of Dongxuan left by Fu Li, Fu Xuan's state at this time could be described as the spiritual realm that countless fortune tellers dreamed of, and he would observe the future of all things with his own eyes.
Past, present, future... Billions of branches of timelines, countless possible directions, spread out unreservedly in Fu Xuan's eyes like rivers.
Those eyes turned into a bright mirror reflecting the heavens, seeing through all the illusions in the world.
Among the billions of futures, Fu Xuan could not see a future in which she would kill Nanook even once. All her efforts were just destined to be.
The Lifeless Sword gathered its strength to its limit in the formation, emitting layers of power that shook the entire star field.
There was no sharp sword intent in this sword. After all, Fu Xuan had never comprehended the heart of the sword. For her, divination had always been her best skill.
Fu Xuan's most powerful weapon has always been his divination technique that allows him to see through the mysteries of heaven.
This sword has nothing to do with the sword itself, but uses the Sword of No Life as a medium to cut Nanook's future.
The path Fu Xuan was taking was against her fate, but at this moment, she finally touched upon the path that belonged to her. Just like Huang Quan's enlightenment under the golden tree, she also vaguely saw that path.
At this moment, Fu Xuan's state is infinitely close to that of the former Ying. He has given birth to authority without being a Star God, and forcibly drives the authority at the level of a messenger.
The power to defy fate is to realize the only future that suits Fu Xuan's wishes among billions of futures.
Fu Xuan didn't seek to slay the gods, but he wanted to temporarily halt Nanuk's path. As the void shattered, the will of destruction crushed in like a storm. Nanuk was like a final storm sweeping across the universe. The spatial structure of the Edo Star Region was shattered by his relentless entropy, annihilated under his pressure.
The embryonic form of the power to defy fate is not the complete power of a star god, but it already contains the possibility of shaking cause and effect.
The essence of this authority is to use Fu Xuan's supreme will as a sword to capture and ultimately realize the "possibility" that suits her heart's desire in the seemingly destined billions of future scenarios.
And turn that tiny "possibility" into the "necessity" that is about to happen!
"Dongxuan——"
Fu Xuan pinched the magic spell with his blood-stained fingertips, and with the determination to see through fate, he dropped it hard towards the distant void.
"Death!"
As soon as the two words are spoken, it is like a divine decree, and the words will be followed by the law!
The sword shadow suspended in the core of the formation had already accumulated its strength to the limit, and the flowing purple formation pattern turned into a burning galaxy, and infinite light illuminated the starry sky.
As Fu Xuan's fingertips fell, the shadow of the Wuming Sword in the formation suddenly burst out with supreme power, and this sword seemed to tear apart the long river of time and space itself.
He fell down towards Nanook who was crossing the space barrier and heading towards Edo Star step by step!
Like the first ray of light at the beginning of the world, the pure purple rainbow ignored the barriers of space, the passage of time, and even Nanook himself.
The sword light flashed like a phantom, and the silhouette penetrated Naruk's body without any hindrance, but did not leave any scar on his divine body.
"puff--"
Fu Xuan coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood from the corner of his lips. His delicate little face was now completely bloodless. The Dongxuan Purple Emblem Formation collapsed in an instant and could no longer withstand the next sword.
Nanook's forward steps suddenly paused for a moment, and then he actually stopped completely, silently staring at the space fragments flowing against the current in front of him.
"interesting."
Nanook seemed to realize something. The sword did not cut his body, but it cut off his future - the future that crossed the space barrier and reached Edo Planet.
Dongxuan rewrote the originally predetermined future into the future that Fu Xuan wanted to see. He cut off Nanook's life, and what he cut off was the future of Nanook's smooth arrival at Edo Star.
The backflow of space debris briefly created a void space storm, forming a natural barrier in the chaos that had originally collapsed. At least in the short term, Nanook was indeed unable to cross the storm caused by the essence of the universe.
"Xuan'er..." Ying supported Fu Xuan's staggering steps from behind, and the collapsed Dongxuan Purple Emblem Array had now returned to Fu Xuan's palm, and it would take a long time to repair before it could be used again.
But the corners of Fu Xuan's lips curled up slightly, she really saw the path that belonged only to the fortune teller.
Throughout history, there have been countless brilliant fortune tellers who have spent their entire lives deducing the mysteries of heaven and spying on the future, but have always been trapped in the cage of "knowing one's destiny but being unable to change it."
The fortune tellers are like prisoners gazing at the starry sky; they can depict the paths of the stars but cannot touch their light.
The fortune teller can only observe the stars but cannot move them.
Jingtian once told her in the distant past that a fortune teller can only predict the future but cannot change it. People call that fate. However, after witnessing Jingtian's death, Fu Xuan no longer believed in fate.
An Ming broke the shackles of fate for her, and now it is her turn to break the shackles of the universe.
This is her path, and it is also the torch she has inherited from countless predecessors. At this moment, Fu Xuan seemed to see Jingtian's back again.
He stood in a clean white robe under the peach tree of Taibu Si, gazing at the starry sky with a star plate in his hand.
The wind blew, and pink petals fell like rain, staining his clothes and landing on the ends of her young hair.
She never blamed her master.
I never blamed him for entrusting the heavy mission to her young shoulders.
She never blamed him for ultimately failing to break free from the shackles of fate, leaving her to go on alone.
The only regret in her heart was that she turned away in anger when she was young, choosing to leave Yuque alone without ever looking back.
"Master... have I disappointed you?"
Fu Xuan murmured softly, perhaps the divinations he had made thousands of times in his previous life were all for this moment.
At the moment when this silent question fell, the blank space caused by excessive blood loss seemed to be gently brushed away by a warm hand.
"Xuan'er."
The little girl had just been formally accepted as Jingtian's disciple at that time, and her delicate face was still filled with ignorance and curiosity.
Jingtian gently rubbed the top of her head with his broad palm, and his eyes, which always saw through everything, were now filled with a gentle smile.
“Don’t be afraid of the long road ahead, and don’t be afraid of the heavy burden on your shoulders.”
"Master believes that one day."
"You will be the Master's pride."
