Chapter 773: Above the River of Fate
"You are the only one who can do this? How will you do it?" Andiya asked with a frown.
"To resolve this matter, I must take a trip to the River of Fate of this world," Lingyun said.
"What, the River of Fate? No, I won't allow it!" Upon hearing Lingyun mention the River of Fate, Andiya's expression changed drastically. "I know Daiweina's identity is extraordinary, but your identity among the Spirit race is even more so. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to answer to the Goddess?"
The River of Fate was a place of such peril that even the legendary Fate God would have to pay a heavy price to enter it. Not to mention that Lingyun was going to the River of Fate this time to reclaim the Fate that had been devoured from Daiweina. And those capable of meddling in the River of Fate were hardly ordinary people; if a conflict were to break out within the River of Fate, leading to any mishap for Lingyun, how could she answer to the Spirit Goddess?
Watching Andiya's anxious expression, Lingyun smiled and shook his head: "Rest assured, it is merely the River of Fate of the God-Given Continent; how could it possibly do anything to me? You must know, I am Lingyun! Besides, if we don't resolve Daiweina's current situation, in the future we will have to face a figure far more troublesome than you can imagine!"
"But..." Andiya still wanted to say something.
"Look!" Lingyun stretched out his hand, and a colorful ribbon of light appeared in his palm.
"What is this?" She felt a Fate Power emanating from this ribbon of light that made her shudder.
"This is my reliance for heading to the River of Fate. With this ribbon of light, even if I cannot resolve Daiweina's problem, I can still retreat unscathed," Lingyun said.
Gazing at the ribbon of light in Lingyun's hand, Andiya was silent for a moment: "Can you guarantee that you will retreat unscathed? Is that true?"
"When have I ever told a lie?"
"Fine, I hope you can return safely." Andiya knew this was not something she could stop, and in the end, she nodded.
Lingyun slowly closed his eyes, and a terrifying aura radiated from his body; that powerful pressure forced Andiya to take several steps back. When Lingyun opened his eyes again, his pupils had transformed into gold and silver.
Feeling the surging aura on Lingyun, even Andiya could not help but feel a trace of horror in her heart: "Is this Lingyun's true strength?"
As the aura on Lingyun climbed crazily, the ribbon of light in Lingyun's hand also extended rapidly, and before long, it wove into a peculiar Array in front of Lingyun. Through this Array, Andiya vaguely saw a long river shimmering with an inexplicable light emerge.
"The River of Fate?" Andiya murmured.
Lingyun glanced at Andiya, then stepped directly into the Array. The moment Lingyun stepped into the Array and vanished, a sword chime was heard, and six Sacred Swords emerged simultaneously from the Void, then charged into the Array one after another.
The River of Fate of the God-Given Continent, the place that manages all the Fate of the entire God-Given Continent, had an uninvited guest break in today.
Vast Fate Power roared within the River of Fate, wanting to completely tear this outsider to shreds; after all, the power of Fate does not tolerate being touched by ordinary people. However, a colorful ring of light hovered around this figure's body. And when the roaring Fate Power touched this ring of light, it was as if a subordinate had encountered their supreme boss, and it obediently calmed down.
"So this is the River of Fate of the God-Given Continent? Why does it look so chaotic?" Lingyun's gaze swept over the River of Fate beneath his feet, his tone filled with a trace of doubt.
If the River of Fate of the God-Given Continent had its own consciousness, it would definitely have complained bitterly to Lingyun; the reason it had become like this was all because of a certain guy who had barged in. As early as the Millennium Holy War, this outsider had already made a mess of the River of Fate. Now that it had finally recovered a little, this guy had actually returned, which made it very uncomfortable, alright?
"Forget it, the fate trajectory of this Continent has nothing to do with me; I'd better go find Daiweina first." Lingyun shook his head, his figure turning into a streak of light as he sped toward the depths of the River of Fate.
In the depths of the River of Fate, two massive figures existed. One figure was a giant dragon with its wings spread, and the other was a huge Demon God.
However, the giant dragon with its wings spread looked somewhat dire. Countless Chains were wrapped around the dragon's body; these Chains had sunk deep into the dragon's flesh and were constantly eroding its body. The dragon's eyes were dim and lusterless, and it only struggled from time to time, but the result of the struggle was only to make the Chains sink deeper. There were fine, dense cracks on the dragon's body, and wisps of golden light drifted out from it; it seemed that in a little while, this dragon would completely shatter.
The Demon God on the side held the Chains with both hands, its right foot stepping on the dragon's back, powerful Demon Qi churning on its body. Every time a wisp of light spilled from the dragon, it would be sucked into the Demon God's mouth. And with every wisp of light it inhaled, the Demon God's aura would rise by a fraction. The Demon God had now completely suppressed the dragon; if the dragon were to completely shatter, then there would be no existence in this River of Fate that could keep it in check.
Just as the dragon's aura became even weaker, a streak of light suddenly broke into this area.
"So it's here; it really took me some effort to find it!" A leisurely voice came.
Feeling the intrusion of the outsider, both the weak dragon and the strong Demon God raised their heads to look at the newcomer.
"Tsk tsk tsk, among the Fate Children I have seen, your miserable state can rank in the top one hundred!" Looking at the weak dragon, Lingyun spoke with a hint of mockery.
The dragon let out a weak roar at Lingyun, as if refuting Lingyun's words.
"Is this guy the culprit? Although it looks a lot like that guy, the Lord of the Demon World, this guy isn't him!" Lingyun's gaze turned toward the Demon God.
The Demon God seemed to sense that Lingyun was not coming with good intentions; the Chains on its body suddenly vibrated, attacking in Lingyun's direction like countless poisonous Snakes.
"In the River of Fate, this kind of attack is truly a petty trick to me!" Lingyun traced an inexplicable trajectory in the Void with his finger, and a small section of the ribbon of light separated from his side, transforming into a Light Wheel. "This move, perhaps it can be called, Eight-Part Light Wheel?"
The Light Wheel drew a brilliant trajectory over the River of Fate, easily shattering all the Chains attacking Lingyun.
"Go!" After shattering the Chains attacking him, Lingyun waved his hand again, and the Light Wheel split into two in mid-air, then two into four, and four into eight, flying toward the dragon.
The Demon God sensed Lingyun's intention, and more Chains rapidly spread from its body, wanting to block the Light Wheels. But the Light Wheels under Lingyun's control were slippery; the eight Light Wheels divided into two groups, one group blocking the Demon God's Chains, while the other four transformed into countless afterimages, cutting the Chains binding the dragon to pieces.
The dragon, having shaken off the shackles of the Chains, let out a roar, its figure shrinking rapidly as it turned into a streak of light and lunged toward Lingyun. It was seen hiding behind Lingyun in an instant, poking its head out from Lingyun's shoulder and letting out a roar of defiance at the Demon God.
Seeing the dragon break free from its shackles, the Demon God let out an angry roar and strode toward Lingyun. More Chains spread from its body, looking incredibly eerie.
