Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 453: Hijacking Fate

“`

“This is…”

“Heavenly Punishment!?”

Yuzhao’s pupils shrank, even more horrified.

As a True Immortal Disciple and a descendant of the Alliance Heavenly Tao, she naturally knew what this was.

It was a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, both a Heavenly Punishment and the will of Heaven!

Although the world here was no ordinary one, making the Heavenly Dao manifest even more clearly, such an event was still extremely rare. Unless it signified the birth of a calamity that would bring about heavenly annihilation, or it was…

“No, that’s not right!”

Yuzhao’s gaze sharpened, and she suddenly realized the key point, exclaiming without delay, “This is not the Deity Transformation Tribulation!”

Amid her startled words, within the vast tribulation clouds, the Eye of Divine Punishment fully materialized; a purple crystal pupil made up of Destruction Thunderbolts stood erect in the sky, firmly closed yet pulsing vibrantly, causing the spectators’ hearts to race with myriad questions.

“This is…”

“What’s happening?”

“Is Heaven opening its eyes?”

“Big brother, what unforgivable thing have you done to anger the heavens?”

“Where is the Taoist Man, isn’t he coming to save us?”

“That shouldn’t be, how could this happen?”

“Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

With the Eye of Heavenly Punishment taking shape, the crowd’s astonishment and suspicions deepened.

Then, at that moment…

“Rumble!”

Within the firmament, thunder roared again, the heavens shook, and the purple crystal pupil vibrated fiercely, straining with an unknown force, and finally, it managed to pry its eyelids open a sliver.

The erect pupil opened a mere crack, revealing a sliver of its eye’s vision, cold and indifferent, showing disregard for the common people!

The Heavenly Dao is unkind, treating all things as straw dogs!

Utterly impartial and selfless!

“Boom!!!”

With the opening of such a Heavenly Eye, the myriad thunders suddenly receded. The count of ninety-nine tribulations and one hundred and eight layers of thunder all entered into the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, turning into a profound and mysterious beam of Destruction God Light, pouring down upon the Martial Artist at the pinnacle of existence.

As Divine Thunder fell, striking with full force, the Martial Artist stood fearless, rising to meet it, and was instantly engulfed by the thunderbolts, leaving only a purple glow behind.

Before the screen, the audience held their breath, unable to utter a single word, just fixated on the wildly erupting Destruction God Thunder, waiting for the final outcome.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, yet seeming like eons passing, it took an indeterminable amount of time before the purple light finally scattered.

When the purple light scattered and the thunder dissipated, a silhouette emerged, standing tall like a god or demon, with the surrounding thunderbolts fleeing in terror, but without a single burn mark, nor any injury on the perfectly robust body. The sinewy muscles, like that of a dragon or a serpent, and the rhythmic thumping of its heart, like heavy drums being struck, resonated between heaven and earth, stirring the soul…

Powerful!!!

No need for words, the surging sensation of power, akin to an erupting volcano, burst forth from the screen and into the hearts of those watching.

Such a shocking scene!

The crowd was astounded, not yet recovered from the shock, when they saw the Martial Artist move his body, and with a heavy punch, he burst forth with unsurpassed strength. Then arose the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling, and faintly there were visions of iron horses and golden spears, the Blood Tribulation soldiers. At last, only an indestructible body remained, resembling a Vajra, unshakeable.

“This is…”

“Overlord Non-urgent Strength!”

“Subduing Dragon Subjugating Tiger Strength!”

“Heavenly Tribulation Slaying the Wolf!”

“Broken Vajra Skill!”

“War God’s Immortal Body!!!”

Even without practicing Martial Path, witnessing this scene, one Cultivation Technique and five extraordinary arts formed in everyone’s minds.

“Vajra!”

On Mount Wuxiang, inside Diamond Temple, Beiming Longteng’s brow furrowed deeply, and Sada the monk rose in surprise and anger.

Vajra! Vajra!

He, though of the Demon Path, originally came from Buddhism and was focused on the Body Refinement Path, being a true expert.

Therefore, he was more aware than others of the content within this War Body!

In the words of the Buddha Clans, it was a Vajra Body!

What is Vajra?

Invincible is called Vajra!

Unbreakable is called Vajra!

Immortal is called Vajra!

It is the highest wisdom, unparalleled strength, the true meaning of Bodhi, the essence of Great Brahma, capable of severing all afflictions, all kinds of Evil Demons. Tathagata, Bodhisattva, Vidyaraja all possess it.

Thus, it is called Vajra!

Though this person hadn’t yet reached such a state, he already showed a trace of it. If he continued to develop in this manner, he might actually achieve the fruition of Vajra, attain the level of Tathagata Buddha, and become a Bodhisattva Vidyaraja.

Such a character was not merely a great calamity but simply…

“Boom!”

The astonishment hadn’t settled when yet another change occurred. The tribulation clouds dispersed, leaving behind only a ray of golden light descending upon the Martial Artist.

“This is…”

“Merit golden light?”

“How is that possible!!!”

Seeing this, everyone became unsettled, shocked beyond words.

Elsewhere, within the Blessed Land of Cangran Mountain, Yu Mao stood up startled, extremely disconcerted.

Seeing this, the Cangran Sect Leader at her side was also taken aback, uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

“Merit golden light?”

“What’s going on?”

“You earn merit for passing a trial?”

“If it’s like that then just say so, no need for this.”

“Tian: You’re joking, right? Trying to fleece me?”

“I was wondering why the Taoist Man isn’t coming. Turns out you’re also Tian’s brother?”

“Spill it, are you the Heavenly Dao’s illegitimate child?”

“Tian: This guy is my half-brother from another father. What’s the big deal about giving him some merit?”

Inside the live streaming room, though just as confused about the situation, that didn’t stop everyone from jeering and making a fuss.

But it was these noisy comments that uncovered the key point.

In the Blessed Land of Cangran Mountain, Yuzhao finally composed herself and sat down again. Watching the screen, she gazed at the Martial Artist being bathed in merit, the golden light entering his body, her expression complex, indescribable.

Seeing this, the Cangran Sect Leader, also cautious, ventured to speak out, “Immortal Maiden, this…”

“A great vow merits heavenly reward!”

Before he could finish, Yuzhao interrupted, showing an unprecedented seriousness on her face. Staring at the screen, she muttered to herself, “The hearts of people aligned, certified by heaven and earth, this person… will be the Master of Fate!”

“Master of Fate?”

Cangran Sect Leader murmured, his face showing astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words.

Yuzhao paid him no attention, just watched the screen, her expression complex, thoughts in turmoil.

By now, others might still be clueless about the situation, but as a descendant of the Alliance Heavenly Tao, how could she not understand the key point?
