Chapter 908 - 402:
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two, one chasing and one fleeing, shot through the Star Jumping Ship at high Speed, and everywhere they passed was like a nuclear warhead going off, vast Energy pouring out in all directions like it cost nothing.
In just a single second, the total Power Chu Xiu unleashed was no less than a hundred-thousand-ton nuke!
And the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation on the other side, even though it was desperately fleeing, now had less than half of its Soul Body left; its original humanoid form could no longer be maintained and had already turned into a clump of soul mist like black fog.
In the image not far away, sure enough, Transformation occurred once more—the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s form was now completely unrecognizable, and that Long Spear it had thrown, though still Flying through the air, had shifted position and was getting farther and farther away from Chu Xiu!
Seeing this, Chu Xiu’s Spirit flared, and he sped up, intensifying his pursuit of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under the successive Energy impacts, its Soul Body was getting weaker and weaker. Chu Xiu didn’t understand the underlying principle, but he could see clearly that even though the other party was still in some kind of special state, once its Law of Destiny was interfered with, it could no longer achieve one hundred percent damage immunity!
As long as its HP can drop, then it can be fought!
Chu Xiu continued his pursuit, unleashing every method in rapid succession, even using Tribulation Poison without caring about wasting it!
However, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was like an unkillable cockroach—every time he was just a hair’s breadth away from completely scattering its Soul Body, it always managed to turn danger into safety at the last moment!
"Brother Chen, something’s wrong!"
At this moment, Xie Xuanzhao suddenly shouted loudly, "Look at that image, quick!"
Chu Xiu turned his head to look, and for some reason, that image which had originally been a blur suddenly became clear again!
And the countdown above his head happened to tick to a new first digit at this very moment, leaving him with only two seconds!
"Brother Chen! The closer it gets to the moment destiny happens, the harder it is to change destiny! You’re out of time!" Xie Xuanzhao shouted.
Chu Xiu’s expression shifted slightly, a trace of anxiety flashing through his eyes. He of course knew he was out of time, but he had no idea what principle that Law of Destiny the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was using operated on. Chu Xiu had already gone all out, yet he still couldn’t kill it!
"If only the Purgatory Demon Corpse were still here, it could at least restrain him a bit."
"And I should really start Cultivation of Secret Techniques to enhance movement Speed. The King Tier Garuda Flying Corpse, even with Divine-Demonic Power augmenting it, is already failing to keep up with the current battle tempo!"
Chu Xiu silently thought to himself.
In the Legacy Pavilion were quite a few powerful Corpse Refinement methods; and of course there were many Divine Secret Techniques related to Body Technique.
But that was all for later. Chu Xiu’s mind spun, and in an instant he settled on a plan. His face sank as he shot out his Soul Hook Divine Techniques toward the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation at high Speed!
The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation twisted aside to dodge, but Chu Xiu didn’t stop at all, firing Soul Chain links one after another, limiting the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s movement path!
At the same time, he swung the Soul Banner, and in a flash all the Ghosts reappeared on the field. The two Ghost Kings released a massive amount of ghostly qi, turning the buffs once more into a ghost realm!
And now, under Chu Xiu’s restrictions, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was forced to enter the ghost realm. With the help of the Ghosts, Chu Xiu’s offensive intensity instantly rose another level!
"It’s having an Effect!"
Mao Qi cried out in delight. Right after the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was driven into the ghost realm, that image which had started to become clearer once again turned blurry, and a lot of mist and black shadows appeared on it!
Xie Xuanzhao mused, "But that Tribulation Thunder Incarnation isn’t showing any sign of defeat. Could it be that the image turning blurry isn’t because his Soul Body was damaged, but because a ’contradiction point’ has formed?"
"Contradiction point?" Mao Qi asked.
"Yes, a point where the present reality and the prophecy contradict. For predictions made using lower-sequence Rule of Destiny Authorities, if an absolutely inexplicable contradiction appears, it can cause the entire prophecy to collapse."
"I get it," Mao Qi looked into the distance, "so basically we just need to create something different from what’s in the image, right?"
Xie Xuanzhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "In theory, yes. But creating contradictions is extremely difficult. For example, if the prophecy says an Emperor will be killed by a sharp Sword, the most obvious contradiction point people think of is to melt down all the Swords in the nation. But leaving aside how hard that is, even if you did it, normally some Sword from outside the country would be brought in and the prophecy would still come true in the end."
"So a more commonly used method to fight destiny is ’deception’. For example, the Emperor passes the throne to someone else the day before the prophesied event, making that other person the Emperor who gets killed by the Sword—thus exploiting the possible ’ambiguity’ in destiny."
"But... these are all methods aimed at low-sequence Rule Authorities. I don’t know if they work on High Sequence ones."
"Who cares," Mao Qi spat, "let’s try it first and talk later!"
As she spoke, her figure suddenly flickered, and without any warning she fled off into the distance!
The other Civilization Envoys quickly reacted as well. Their figures appeared in that image, so if they left, wouldn’t that conflict with the prophetic scene in the image?
Everyone accelerated away in different directions, with only Xie Xuanzhao standing her ground, because she hadn’t been in the initial image.
As everyone moved, the prophecy in the image really did become even more blurred; their figures in the image were all fuzzing out into the distance, while Xie Xuanzhao’s silhouette began to appear instead.
"It really works!"
Everyone’s expressions brightened, but Xie Xuanzhao seemed to have noticed something; she frowned, looking at the fine threads around them, confusion surfacing in her eyes.
And everyone’s conversation and actions were all noticed by Chu Xiu, who was still chasing down the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation in the distance.
"’Contradiction’ and ’deception’, huh..."
