Chapter 775: Reclaiming Fate

After the light faded, Lingyun stood alone atop the River of Fate. Before him, the Demon God knelt on one knee; the strange Array on his body had completely vanished, and wisps of golden light were overflowing from him.

Behind Lingyun, the little dragon cheered and opened its large mouth. A tyrannical suction force emanated from it, and the golden light drifting within the River of Fate was sucked into its mouth one after another. After absorbing the golden light, the little dragon's form began to expand, and in no time, it grew to several meters in length.

The Demon God let out a roar, the Chain on his body twisting constantly, as if trying to grasp the light escaping from him. But the Chain on his body had suffered severe damage from Lingyun's earlier Purification Light and was completely unable to block the scattering light. More seriously, deep purple light spilled from his wounds from time to time; this was the Fate belonging to the Demon God dissipating.

Feeling himself growing weaker, a trace of terror could not help but appear in the Demon God's eyes. With a roar, specks of light gathered in his mouth and blasted toward Lingyun. Lingyun opened his hand, and a giant palm of light appeared before him, forcefully crushing that beam of light to pieces.

Just at this moment, the Demon God's Light Wheel suddenly appeared and slashed fiercely toward Lingyun's head. This Light Wheel also looked in quite a bad state; having been hit head-on by the Purification Light, fine, dense cracks had already appeared on its body.

Lingyun grabbed with both hands, actually catching the Light Wheel slashing at him firmly in his hands. Subsequently, powerful force emanated from his hands, constantly impacting the Light Wheel. Under the impact of Lingyun's tyrannical power, the outer layer of the Light Wheel finally could not withstand it and shattered, revealing its interior appearance.

After the surface layer disappeared, what appeared inside was an Array inscribed with countless eerie Magic Runes. As soon as this Array appeared, it clashed violently with the power in Lingyun's hands.

"This is... the Fate Devouring Array?"

Looking at the Array inscribed on the Light Wheel, Lingyun's brows could not help but furrow. This kind of Array capable of devouring others' Fate invisibly—had it not disappeared ever since the lineage of Fate Mages died out? How could it still appear in this place? Now that the Fate Devouring Array had appeared once again, and was actually for the sake of devouring the Fate of the Fate Child of this world, then Lingyun absolutely could not leave it be.

"Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"

Lingyun gripped the struggling Light Wheel tightly, and crimson flames spread from his hands, enveloping the entire Light Wheel. Under the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Magic Runes on the Light Wheel began to dissipate slowly.

During this process, these runes etched onto the Light Wheel naturally would not sit and wait for death, but instead launched a frantic counterattack. However, this kind of counterattack could not stir up any waves before Lingyun and was suppressed extremely easily.

"Crack—"

The last rune dissipated into the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the Fate Devouring Array was completely destroyed. At this instant, a terrifyingly immense Fate Power surged out from the Light Wheel and struck toward Lingyun. But as the colorful band of light beside Lingyun flashed, that powerful Fate Power was completely shattered in an instant.

"To think that such a hidden hand was concealed within this Fate Devouring Array. But to be able to drive Fate Power of this degree, could it be that within the forces of that black hand, there still exists a Fate Mage?" Lingyun muttered, frowning.

The moment the Fate Devouring Array was completely destroyed, the Fate Mage in the Deep Cave suddenly let out a shrill scream. Countless cracks appeared on his body instantly, and his whole person seemed to begin collapsing.

"What is wrong with you?" The black shadow in the cave was also given a big fright seeing the Fate Mage in this state.

"Someone destroyed the Fate Devouring Array I set up; I have suffered a backlash," the Fate Mage said through gritted teeth. "To think that there is actually someone in this world who can destroy the Fate Devouring Array."

Seeing more and more cracks on the Fate Mage's body, with the possibility of his whole person collapsing, the black shadow felt great anxiety in his heart. This person was his most powerful strategist for the future; he absolutely could not fall here just like this.

Thinking of this, the black shadow gritted his teeth, and massive Demon Qi surged from his body, shrouding the Fate Mage whose body was on the verge of collapse. Before long, the Demon Qi receded, and the Fate Mage's form had vanished, leaving behind only a large cocoon lingering with powerful Demon Qi in place.

"I await the time you awaken once more." The black shadow's voice carried an inexplicable meaning.

Above the River of Fate, after Lingyun shattered the last rune, the Light Wheel turned into specks of light and vanished in his hands. Seeing his own Light Wheel actually completely destroyed by Lingyun, a trace of fear could not help but appear in the Demon God's eyes; the current Lingyun was absolutely the most dangerous enemy in his eyes.

Powerful force surged from the Demon God's body, turning into countless eerie skulls that pounced toward Lingyun. Sensing the powerful force on these eerie skulls, a trace of caution also appeared on Lingyun's face. As his hands waved repeatedly, the Six Sacred Swords wove and shuttled before him, smashing all the eerie skulls to pieces.

When the eerie skulls exploded, a kind of inexplicable mist permeated the entire battlefield. Lingyun casually beckoned, and a gust of wind whistled over, blowing away all the mist. But the Demon God had already used this mist to disappear into the deeper reaches of the River of Fate.

"Running away quite fast, aren't you!" Lingyun looked at the giant dragon still constantly devouring the golden light scattered on the battlefield and had no intention of pursuing.

The giant dragon, having finished devouring the golden light, had already grown to twenty or thirty meters long. It rubbed its head against Lingyun's arm, its eyes holding a sense of intimacy. Looking at the giant dragon's current state, it was clearly that it had snatched back all the Fate previously devoured by the Demon God and had returned to a lively state once again.

"Alright, I think that guy shouldn't dare to come and trouble you again. I also cannot stay in the River of Fate for long, so we shall part ways here!" Lingyun patted the giant dragon's head, and the ring of light around him shone brilliantly, carrying him away into the River of Fate.

The instant he left the River of Fate, Lin Yan's gaze swept slightly over the depths of the River of Fate, then quickly withdrew.

Inside the Goddess of Elves Temple, Andiya looked somewhat anxiously at the empty hall. Nearly an hour had passed since Lingyun headed to the River of Fate, and she had no idea what might happen within the River of Fate.

"Regarding Lingyun heading to such a dangerous place as the River of Fate, are you not worried at all?" Looking at Nangong Nayue, who was leisurely holding a cup of black tea, Andiya could not help but ask.

"Rest assured, Lingyun never does things he is not certain of. Since he dared to head to the River of Fate, he must have his own reliance," Nangong Nayue said, putting down the porcelain cup in her hand.

Just at this moment, the space before the two of them suddenly twisted, an Array emerged from the Void, and Lingyun stepped out from the Array.

"Lingyun, you're back. You aren't hurt, are you?" Nangong Nayue's form appeared before Lingyun in an instant.

Looking at Nangong Nayue, whose tone carried a trace of anxiety, Lingyun chuckled: "Rest assured, I have already settled the matter over there. I presume Daiweina will be able to wake up in a while. By the way, after Daiweina wakes up, let me know; I do want to know what she encountered during this time."

"Alright, I understand," Andiya nodded and said.
