Chapter 2808: Impact of Fate

"You finally showed up!" Bai Zhan Tian swung his axe, clearing the surrounding resentful spirits once more, "What is this place, your Illusion or a pocket world?"

These words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

Ordinary immortals could not possibly construct this kind of space; could Tiger Wing's level have reached the True Immortal realm?

Furthermore, besides being filled with the filthy, sticky grime of karma, this strange space also carried an aura He would never mistake:

The power of a Divine Spark!

The dense Divine Spark aura on this giant serpent composed of smoke streams could not deceive Him, a High God!

Previously, He thought that even if General Tiger Wing held a Divine Spark, he could only barely activate a bit of its utility. Such things had happened in the mortal world before; some cultivators, by chance coincidence, picked up Divine Sparks left in the mortal world by High Gods during the ancient great war. They could indeed utilize the abilities contained within the Divine Sparks to do a few things.

But humans are ultimately not High Gods; it is impossible to maximize the use of a Divine Spark's power.

Has this common knowledge been broken by General Tiger Wing again?

Another wave of black tides surged forth. Bai Zhan Tian shut his mouth and strode toward He Lingchuan with large steps.

He could sense that this torrent was becoming increasingly violent, the wave crests higher and higher, the resentful spirits pouncing on him increasingly ferocious and powerful.

The consequences of being caught by these things again, even a High Demon would not dare to imagine.

Every axe he chopped out had diminishing effects. Originally, one axe could clear a hundred zhang ahead, wiping out all demons and monsters, but after the torrent became increasingly turbulent, it was only ninety zhang, eighty zhang...

Bai Zhan Tian advanced instead of retreating, rushing even more urgently.

No matter how powerful the torrent ultimately was, before the axe qi's efficacy was exhausted, he had to rush before He Lingchuan and finish off this brat!

At this moment, He Lingchuan finally slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were first a bit vacant, then regained their luster. He did not answer Bai Zhan Tian's question directly, but said: "Never mind you, even if the Holy Venerable Ling Xu came in person, he could not resist the torrent of fate."

The torrent... of fate?

This torrent, this giant serpent... and this karma!

Hearing this, Bai Zhan Tian suddenly realized, blurting out:

"The Fate Divine Spark! You possess the Fate Divine Spark!"

No wonder he always felt this Divine Spark aura was very familiar, yet could not be completely certain; so it was the Fate Divine Spark! After the Three Saints' Divine Sparks fell, the Fate Divine Spark passed through the hands of several High Gods in succession, then its whereabouts became unknown. There were legends that it was picked up by some minor god, but no evidence was found.

Now, it has actually appeared in the hands of Pan Long's General.

Leaving aside how he got it, an Ancient God's Divine Spark also possesses an Ancient God's arrogance; those several High Gods couldn't control it, so why can Tiger Wing?

Even stranger, the Fate Divine Spark has actually combined with worldly karma; this pitch-black giant serpent is ironclad proof.

What does this indicate? General Tiger Wing has already passed the Fate Divine Spark's trial and is currently reshaping his own understanding of the laws of fate. This is simply inconceivable!

He fought his way through thorns and brambles all the way; by the time he finished speaking, the distance to the serpent's head was less than a hundred zhang.

Seeing this, He Lingchuan pointed a finger at him:

"Go down."

He rubbed his eyes unobtrusively, oh how they hurt; his eyes were still swollen even now; if it weren't dark enough here, he would most likely be tearing up at the sight of light.

He wasn't blinded by the flash, all thanks to Yuan Qi protection.

The "Dawn's First Light" Bai Zhan Tian used just now did indeed cause him to lose his five senses; fortunately, the duration was not long. Originally, his momentary loss of control — a snap of the fingers — could have let Bai Zhan Tian make a big move. After all, a snap of the fingers contains sixty ksana; for a High Demon like Bai Zhan Tian, attacking ten times would be enough.

He Lingchuan naturally did not know what trick Bai Zhan Tian's third chop would produce; after all, the degree of freedom was too high, there was simply no way to predict it. The only thing he could do was activate his trump card.

Bai Zhan Tian's first two axes were both dodged by him with a shiver of alertness; this final axe, no matter what, he had to bring out his hidden reserves.

Bai Zhan Tian thought this dark sky canopy was his Secret Realm or pocket world; in essence, the two were still on the battlefield, merely surrounded by dense karma.

As the Nine Nether Great Emperor, He Lingchuan had disturbed too many heavenly secrets and intervened in too much karma; if the karma he carried were released, it could easily cover the entire battlefield; wrapping just the two of them was nothing.

But this dark sky canopy created by karma could indeed isolate the internal and external transmission of divine sense. Friend or foe, none could spy on the internal situation.

Here, a karma world had effectively formed; even someone as strong as Bai Zhan Tian was trapped within, unable to escape the torrent of karma.

The moment He Lingchuan's words fell, the torrent of fate stirred up waves without wind, suddenly becoming even more violent; wave crests several zhang high surged the moment they were said to surge, terrifying waves crashed the moment they were said to crash, like a sea surface ravaged by a Category 15 hurricane.

Bai Zhan Tian kept a straight face, swinging his axe to clear away batch after batch of resentful spirits; the range of his qi diffusion grew smaller and smaller, but his speed rushing toward He Lingchuan grew faster and faster.

Then he tossed the Blood Blade Flying Axe into the air.

The axe head split into two again, dancing rapidly around him. Wherever they passed, resentful spirits were stirred into dust.

But He Lingchuan noticed that the range in which Bai Zhan Tian purged resentful spirits was actually shrinking. Because the distance the Blood Blades flew was only about three zhang around him.

This increased efficiency and saved more divine power. However, the light of the dancing Blood Blades was dimming bit by bit. The originally bright orange light on the axe blades now had brightness no more than a candle flame on a windowsill.

This showed that Bai Zhan Tian's divine power was getting weaker and weaker, having reached the point where every bit used had to be carefully calculated.

This is truly the wheel of fortune turning.

You must know that half a quarter-hour ago, Bai Zhan Tian still felt Pan Long's Yuan Qi was about to hit bottom, and He Lingchuan would be at his mercy.

But he was also getting closer and closer to He Lingchuan, only a hundred zhang left.

This little distance, Bai Zhan Tian needed only two big leaps to reach.

Until this moment, He Lingchuan finally patted the big snake's head, calm and unhurried.

Thus, this big snake raised its head even higher.

Bai Zhan Tian had gone to great pains to close the distance to within a hundred zhang, but this big snake effortlessly pulled the distance between him and He Lingchuan back to the starting point!

The harder he tried, the more despairing.

And the higher the big snake's body reared, the more violent the karma torrent pouncing on Bai Zhan Tian became.

He Lingchuan even asked leisurely: "Having a body full of divine abilities yet unable to use them, this feeling isn't pleasant, is it?"

As the God of War, Bai Zhan Tian should have myriad ever-changing methods; unfortunately, in this torrent of fate, he dared not use a single one.

He only used the Blood Blade Flying Axe to clear the resentful spirits before him, because the previous battle had already consumed too much divine power. Any earth-shattering great divine ability comes at the cost of high energy consumption, while those small and exquisite divine abilities are useless against General Tiger Wing in this time and place.
