Chapter 285: Chapter 260 [Returning Ruins Changes, Illusion of Escape] (Request for Subscription)_3

Xuanqing had also altered many major forces, but although he counted as a variable, he was not that "one." He simply used the power of fate to glimpse the script.

This is also why, despite Hong Jun’s formidable strength, he never once made a move against him.

"One!"

Around Xuanqing, boundless powers of fate materialized, intending to find the elusive "one," but he only saw a "Chaos Pearl" within the endless reaches of time and space.

If he wasn’t wrong, the master of the "Chaos Pearl" would be the one who had slipped away.

But, unfortunately...

This was already his limit!

The one who had slipped away, unbound by causality and fate— even though he had mastered the Fate Dao, he could only see a phantom amidst the infinite time and space.

"Wait a minute!"

The thought that surged in Xuanqing’s heart was one of unexpected dread. Had Pangu cut off his chains back then because he foresaw the future, considering to turn him, the Fate Demon God, into a variable, then have him alter the trends of the Heavenly Dao, and shield that "one"?

In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, nor does anyone help you without reason—Xuanqing did not believe Pangu had a special regard for him alone!

If the holder of the "Chaos Pearl" is the elusive one, then he, the Fate Demon God, is the decoy "one" who has concealed the true Destiny.

Truth and falsehood intertwined, as he altered major forces and shrouded the future in fog—preventing Hong Jun from directly erasing the elusive one!

A true protagonist, before they come into their ample strength, often has a decoy taking hits for them against many prying eyes.

"Damn it!"

"I’ve become the decoy!"

The more Xuanqing thought about it, the more he felt it possible. He had ascended as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal through the Refining Dao, believing he had become one of the true key players in the Primordial World, yet he never considered that he was part of an even larger game!

During this time, as he played against Kunpeng, contemplating the transformations of the Human Dao, he had unwittingly pierced through the stratagem Pangu had laid upon him.

The power of fate allowed him to see through most beings, a strength and weakness alike, and also the capital for his rise in the Primordial.

In front of most entities, his ability to glimpse the future was undoubtedly a tremendous asset.

But before that elusive "one," the destiny he saw was the greatest disadvantage—it might have been just what Pangu wanted him to see.

"Daoist Yang Mei, having achieved Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal through the Space-Time Great Dao, must be extraordinary indeed. I wonder if you’d be willing to exchange a few moves with this humble one?"

Xuanqing felt that Yang Mei might also have noticed something, hence why he subtly hinted to him by taking advantage of the discord with Hong Jun.

Otherwise, why would it be that after conversing with Yang Mei, he would think of that elusive "one" and then uncover Pangu’s stratagem placed upon him?

This was no coincidence!

"Sure!"

A sharp light flickered in Yang Mei’s eyes as well: "Daoist friend, whose refining of manifold Daos is also extraordinary, I, too, wish to witness your methods!"

Boom!

The billions of time-spaces rocked violently, Chaos Qi surged tumultuously, multiverses blinked in and out of existence—Yang Mei struck first, with three thousand willow branches instantly whipping towards Xuanqing’s body.

"Seven Treasures Skill!"

Xuanqing, using his Divine Skills, merged the Yin Yang Five Elements into one, evolving Supreme Divine Power, fiercely colliding with the three thousand willow branches summoned by Yang Mei.

The void trembled violently, Yin Yang turned chaotic, the Five Elements inverted, and Chaos exploded like bursting bubbles.

"Purgatory Tribulation!"

In an instant, Xuanqing switched from defense to offense, and myriad calamity energies transformed into the Supreme Heavenly Blade to strike down.

He had to test his speculation!
