Chapter 558 543: The Grand Finale (Part 2)
Li Cunxu looked worriedly at the alliance of emperors who had fallen to the ground.
Xiaobai Spider transmitted a message: "They're fine, they just fell asleep due to the 'Destined Slumber'."
Destined Slumber, a destiny-type, emperor-level skill, at this hour, you all should be asleep.
Li Cunxu turned back, fully alert to face the uninvited guest, the 'Dragon of Destiny'.
"Are you here to harvest Xiaoruan's Myriad Phenomena Law?"
The Dragon of Destiny nodded gently, then looked at Xiaobai Spider.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until its Myriad Phenomena Law reached Emperor Nine level before harvesting it so that I could break through the blockade and become the first god of this era. Unfortunately, your borrowing from the future is too dangerous for me to handle, but luckily, I can collect a Destiny Law to barely make up for the loss."
"Who are you?"
"I am the 'Dragon of Destiny', the strongest dragon in this world, but there's no need to remember historical records of me. I don't like being too conspicuous, so I erased all mentions of myself."
Li Cunxu probed, "I have twelve Emperor Peaks, aren't you afraid?"
The Dragon of Destiny chuckled lightly: "Twelve Emperor Peaks? No, now it's only eleven Emperor Peaks."
As soon as the words fell, countless illusory threads of destiny plunged into Xiaoruan's body. Xiaoruan turned and spat a giant fireball, attacking the nearby beast pet.
Xiaobai Spider and the others quickly distanced themselves from Xiaoruan.
Li Cunxu wasn't surprised that Xiaoruan was easily controlled by the Dragon of Destiny. Ever since he learned that a mysterious destiny-type presence was eyeing Xiaoruan's Myriad Phenomena Law, Li Cunxu had anticipated this day.
The destiny type is too adept at manipulating the destinies of others, turning them into its destiny puppets without their awareness.
There must be fallback measures left by the Dragon of Destiny on Xiaoruan for easier control.
The Dragon of Destiny spoke again: "I have always liked using numbers against the few, and today is no exception."
With a wave of its dragon tail adorned with the dazzling scales of a Crystal Dragon, thirty-five figures appeared out of thin air, all exuding the aura of an Emperor Peak.
The overwhelming aura instantly suppressed the aura of Xiaobai Spider and the others, and around them, the void flickered constantly with tears caused by the pressure.
Among these thirty-five figures, there were humans and beasts, who were legendary existences in history, but who had all been secretly sabotaged by the Dragon of Destiny and turned into destiny puppets.
"Submit peacefully, I don't really like fighting."
The Dragon of Destiny's expression was arrogant, as if waiting for Li Cunxu to willingly jump onto the dining plate for it.
Combined with the controlled Xiaoruan and Da Chun, along with the Dragon of Destiny itself, there were thirty-seven Emperor Peaks, making its arrogance understandable.
Li Cunxu remained still, and the Dragon of Destiny sneered: "What? Want to take a chance? Do you really think you have the strength to fight me? The Emperor Peaks of your beast pets are borrowed from the future, and they are time-limited. Once the time is up, an ordinary Emperor Peak could take out your bunch of beast pets."
Li Cunxu replied, "Whether it can be fought or not, no one knows, besides, I don't think I'm the one at a disadvantage."
"Little Mengdie, the Eternal Dream Realm."
The Eternal Dream Realm unfolded in an instant, dragging in the thirty-five destiny puppets, Da Chun, Xiaoruan, and the Dragon of Destiny.
Little Mengdie had rarely acted in the outside world, and as the Dragon of Destiny had no information on Little Mengdie, it was caught off guard and hit by the move.
With its vast experience, the Dragon of Destiny immediately sensed its consciousness being dragged into a bizarre dream realm and exploded with full force to tear through it and escape, but the dream realm was more solid than it had imagined. After struggling for a long time, it only managed to rip a tiny hole.
With great effort, it squeezed through the small opening only to find itself still in the dream realm. It continued to tear through the dream, creating over a dozen openings, but still found itself within. This was a multi-layered dream realm.
"This trump card prepared for so many years, it wasn't wasted effort."
In reality, Li Cunxu looked at the scene of Xiaoruan and the destiny puppets asleep and reflected with satisfaction.
Li Cunxu had always kept Little Mengdie hidden, initially planning that if that mysterious destiny-type being controlled Xiaoruan, Little Mengdie would counter by dragging Xiaoruan's consciousness into the Eternal Dream Realm to regain control.
However, Li Cunxu did not expect that once Little Mengdie reached Emperor Peak, the Eternal Dream Realm would be so strong that it directly captured the Dragon of Destiny and its destiny puppets, dragging them all into the dream realm.
"Take care of them."
Xiaobai Spider and the others moved to destroy these motionless destiny puppets.
After a series of bombardments, only Xiaoruan and the Dragon of Destiny remained at the scene.
Xiaoruan was one of their own, and they wouldn't attack it.
As for the Dragon of Destiny, it was simply untouchable.
The supposedly fragile scales of the Dragon of Destiny's multicolored Crystal Dragon were actually unbelievably tough, not even a crack appeared on them after the attack.
Even the Desolate Egg, which killed eighteen destiny puppets in one go, could do nothing to the Dragon of Destiny.
Xiaobai Spider, who had been pondering after initially attacking and not moving since, finally spoke up.
"I understand now, this Dragon of Destiny has such deep mastery of destiny; it has forcibly erased the destinies of 'being injured' and 'death' from itself. In its life script, it will never be harmed, never die, even if injured or dead, the Destiny Law would forcibly correct it, so it remains unharmed and doesn't die."
Li Cunxu frowned; this ability was perverse and troublesome, but the Dragon of Destiny must be killed quickly.
With the current strength of Little Mengdie's Eternal Dream Realm, it could imprison the Dragon of Destiny for a lifetime, but this strength was borrowed from the future. When Little Mengdie's realm returns to Emperor level, the Dragon of Destiny will break free.
Xiaobai Spider looked at Xiaoruan and said: "I have a way, by borrowing Xiaoruan's power."
"Above the Destiny Law, only the Root Law can suppress the Destiny Law. Xiaoruan's Chaos Ball possesses some characteristics of the Chaos Law, we can use Xiaoruan's power to kill the Dragon of Destiny."
Li Cunxu immediately said: "Little Mengdie, control Xiaoruan's body to release the Chaos Ball, strike with all your might, and let the Dragon of Destiny return to chaos."
A Chaos Ball that struck fear across the world condensed and was launched from above Xiaoruan.
The multicolored Crystal Dragon scales, unbreakable just moments ago, shattered like fragile glass under the Chaos Ball, but... it still didn't kill the Dragon of Destiny.
The Chaos Ball only destroyed half of the Dragon of Destiny's body, which soon restored itself under the corrective force of the Destiny Law.
Li Cunxu asked, "Can Little Mengdie control Xiaoruan to release an even more powerful Chaos Ball?"
The Xiaoruan controlled by Little Mengdie shook its head.
Li Cunxu fell into a state of anxiety.
Suddenly, Xiaoruan's consciousness managed to break the Eternal Dream Realm that even the Dragon of Destiny couldn't breach, and then its bouncy Slime body began to change. A law stronger and more encompassing than the Myriad Phenomena Law flowed through Xiaoruan's body, accommodating, devouring, and refining laws, then absorbing the destiny threads controlling Xiaoruan.
Xiaoruan unexpectedly broke free of the Dragon of Destiny's control on its own.
