Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Eye of Fate

Hum—

The ice crystal longsword trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound that would have left mortals in a trance if they heard it.

Liu Ruolai held the sword, murmuring, "God and Demon Destiny Sword, fate imbued, transforming decay into life."

At this moment, she looked entirely different from her usual self, exuding an air of indifference that made others wonder if she had been possessed.

"That sword!"

Jiang Ziya, standing on a rooftop, widened his eyes in shock, the generals beside him also showing moved expressions.

Just one look at the God and Demon Destiny Sword was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

This feeling was eerie, causing disquiet in one’s heart to sprout and take root rapidly.

Even Hou Yi and Sun Wukong couldn’t help but frown; they could sense that the God and Demon Destiny Sword was very dangerous.

"What is the origin of that sword?" Hou Yi murmured, his tone filled with confusion.

Xing Tian suddenly appeared beside him, with an equally grave expression. He had just returned from the lower realm and immediately felt the terrifying aura of the God and Demon Destiny Sword.

"Eh, isn’t that Holy Consort Liu?" Xing Tian said in surprise.

He was astonished to find that Liu Ruolai’s cultivation was soaring; as he finished speaking, she had already broken through to the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm and was on the verge of breaking into the Golden Immortal Realm.

Hou Yi didn’t respond to Xing Tian, because he, too, was unaware.

Liu Ruolai, holding the God and Demon Destiny Sword, suddenly started performing sword techniques in mid-air, her figure ethereal. As the sword blade swept across the sky, snowflakes began to drift down.

Unexpected snow in the expansive Universe caused puzzlement among the commoners and cultivators of the Holy City.

However, this area had already been sealed off, and no one dared to approach and investigate.

Liu Ruolai seemed lost in a state of profound enlightenment, her sword moving faster and faster, leaving a series of afterimages, each in a different posture.

Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, Yang Jian, and other exceptionally talented gods and demons were moved. Sun Wukong was the first to fall into contemplation, followed by Li Yuanba, Luo Shixin, and then Yang Jian, Nezha, Yuan Hong, Red Boy, and others.

Even the Daluo-level immortals like the Golden Light Holy Mother, Kua Fu, Hou Yi, and Xiang Yu fell into a thoughtful mood.

Liu Ruolai’s sword technique seemed to hold a profound mystery that gave different insights to those who watched it.

"The Great Dao has three thousand paths, all part of fate; within the river of time, all laws are void..."

Liu Ruolai suddenly spoke, her voice ethereal, devoid of any emotion.

Standing atop Saint Emperor Peak, Daji, You Fenghuang, Zhu Yanqing, Wang Xue, Chang’e, and the Pipa and other ladies watched in amazement. To them, Liu Ruolai had always been like a young girl who never aged, but at this moment, she seemed more like a sublime goddess, sacred and aloof.

"What exactly is going on?" Daji asked with furrowed brows.

A maid next to her, terrified, quickly knelt down and answered with fear, "This servant doesn’t know... the Holy Consort was fine until she suddenly began to scream and clutch her head... It terrified this servant..."

Upon hearing this, Daji’s frown deepened even further.

"She seems to have awakened something," said Chang’e slowly. The Pipa beside her nodded in agreement; even as a Daluo Golden Immortal, she couldn’t comprehend what was happening with Liu Ruolai.

But she realized Liu Ruolai’s sword technique was profoundly sophisticated, and this enlightenment was not by chance.

Had Liu Ruolai received some sort of legacy?

The thoughts of the women were turbulent, all of them worried for Liu Ruolai.

Above Saint Emperor Peak, the Torch Dragon and the Double-pupil Bird circled, looking at Liu Ruolai with eyes filled with confusion and remembrance.

At that moment, Qin Jun and Bai Ze flew out from the Imperial Garden.

The instant Qin Jun saw Liu Ruolai, he breathed a sigh of relief; he had been fearful that Liu Ruolai’s life-span issues would flare up, that he might never see her smile again.

But the next second, he sensed something was wrong.

Liu Ruolai’s cultivation had actually broken through to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm and was still rising.

The sword techniques she displayed caused Qin Jun’s heart and mind to tremble, a nameless reverence arising within him.

"What’s going on... this feeling..."

Qin Jun’s pupils shrank, unable to understand his inexplicable emotions.

"This girl has awakened! How is that possible!"

Ji Yongsheng suddenly exclaimed in Qin Jun’s mind, making him even more uneasy, and he quickly asked in his heart, "What do you mean? Awakened what?"

He knew Liu Ruolai was a child of fate; could the problem lie in this identity?

"She is indeed the child of fate, the current inheritor of destiny’s legacy. At this moment, she is undergoing the baptism of destiny’s essence. Once she transforms into a dragon and phoenix, she will be unstoppable!"

Ji Yongsheng stated each word distinctly, obviously in extreme shock, "I have witnessed the might of the child of fate beyond the heavens before, they are definitely the protagonist of the three thousand worlds, a true peerless genius of the ages!"

Qin Jun’s eyebrows furrowed tightly; he detected a hint of wariness in Ji Yongsheng’s tone.

An existence capable of causing Ji Yongsheng concern must be incredibly strong.

"What will happen to her?" Qin Jun’s face turned ugly, as Liu Ruolai at this moment gave him a sense of unfamiliarity.

"She will become the executor of fate, to wield destiny’s doctrine!"

Ji Yongsheng’s answer made Qin Jun even more anxious, and at that moment, Liu Ruolai’s sword’s momentum became more fierce, with hundreds of afterimages floating around her, the sword light dazzling, creating a spectacular sight.

Second layer of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Liu Ruolai had broken through again!

At the same time, above the Holy City, rolling thunderclouds accumulated, with thunder roaring so tremendously that even the Daluo supreme immortals shivered.

"What is that!"

Kua Fu spoke in a deep voice, following his gaze, one only saw the thunderclouds churning, revealing an eye of terror, as if a towering deity lurked above the clouds, spying on the world. That eye was cold and detached, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"The Eye of Destiny, it’s over, this girl will be taken away by destiny to accept the ultimate inheritance."

Ji Yongsheng sighed; he too felt emotional, facing the mythical spectacle that unfolded before his eyes, he could hardly feel excited because he understood the pain Qin Jun might soon endure.

Taken away?

Qin Jun’s pupils shrank, the sound of his heartbeat thundering in his ears like war drums.

Facing the Eye of Destiny, Qin Jun also felt an oppressive force like the sky collapsing, a kind of pressure that could not be resisted. He only looked at the Eye of Destiny for a moment before he dared not look up again.

Such fear was not because he was weak, but because destiny transcended everything.

Liu Ruolai suddenly sheathed her sword and leapt towards the Eye of Destiny.

"Ruolai!"

Qin Jun, withstanding that pressure even stronger than Tianwei, looked up and shouted angrily.

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Sun Wukong, and others stood by, looking at the Eye of Destiny with horror, not daring to make any moves.

Liu Ruolai heard his voice, stopped in midair, turned back to glance at Qin Jun, and transmitted her voice to him, "Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, but I have also sacrificed dozens of reincarnations for you. Our past ties, let’s end them here!"

After speaking, she turned and continued flying toward the Eye of Destiny.

"Damn it!"

Qin Jun was furious; he immediately leapt up, with the purple flame pattern between his eyebrows beginning to pulsate.

Boom—

A terrifying thunderbolt struck down with such speed that even Xing Tian had no time to react.

Qin Jun only felt an intense pain spreading throughout his body, as if his body was no longer his own, slowly falling towards the Holy City.

Liu Ruolai unconsciously looked back, just in time to lock eyes with Qin Jun, she saw reluctance, he saw indifference.
