Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 410, Section 102: A Galaxy of Stars (Part Six)

"Stop! Let's think of another way."

Chen Xingtong panicked; she had never seen Jin Ziyue like this before.

The man's bangs were disheveled from the violent impact, and through the half-hidden strands of hair, Chen Xingtong could see that his eyes were like a deep spring, as if he had made some kind of preparation.

"Don't be impulsive, let's... let's try a different way to wake her up..."

Chen Xingtong's voice trembled. He was risking his life.

"Don't worry about me." Jin Ziyue's voice was a little weak, but it also carried a calm confidence.

“But…but…” Chen Xingtong was somewhat at a loss.

“I’m confident I can get out of here unscathed,” Jin Ziyue explained. “When the crystal breaks in a little while, find an opportunity to get close to Ruolan.”

Chen Xingtong composed herself slightly. She observed Jin Ziyue. Although it was difficult to discern his thoughts from his face, he rarely disappointed his friends.

"Okay, I believe you." She calmed down as well. "I'll wait for your signal."

Jin Ziyue nodded and said nothing more.

He held the knife with both hands again, this time even the hand gripping the hilt trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Xingtong witnessed his disheveled appearance and still felt a trace of worry.

Jin Ziyue focused on the red crystal. While panting heavily, he once again mobilized his soul power, making his soul body look more solid. Then, he decisively swung his hand, his muscles tensing up, and slashed horizontally!

Keng——

The ground shook, and the resulting storm even caused a disruption in the energy center.

Then, an even more turbulent soul storm was activated from the crimson crystal on Chen Ruolan's body. A red halo rose from the bottom, accompanied by a rumbling hum. A suffocating pressure pressed down from the sky, as if the 'Anchor of the World' also realized what Jin Ziyue was about to do, and with unparalleled will, it wanted to crush his soul into powder.

Under such overwhelming divine might, Jin Ziyue remained clear-headed. Braving the raging soul storm, he wielded his knife with renewed force. Amidst the churning hurricane, his body quickly became thin and almost transparent.

The tiny figure was swallowed up by the blazing light in the next moment.

Chen Xingtong's heart clenched in her throat: "Jin Ziyue!"

Her vision was completely obscured by white light, making it impossible to see the situation clearly, which made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

After a dozen or so breaths, the white light gradually weakened, and Chen Xingtong felt that her vision blurred into a blur. Slowly, the double images in her vision began to coalesce into a solid image.

She immediately looked in Jin Ziyue's direction, but couldn't see him. She panicked and staggered towards him.

"You better not get into any trouble with me!"

She dared not think about what would happen if Jin Ziyue's soul were to perish here; how could she possibly face Chen Ruolan and Fu Xun then?

Until Chen Xingtong staggered to the red crystal, she still didn't see Jin Ziyue.

Chen Xingtong's heart sank suddenly, and an inexplicable sense of fear washed over her.

At that moment, a golden light seemed to fly in from outside, like a brocade carried by the wind, smooth and light, containing an indescribable magical power.

Golden light slowly enveloped a certain area in an empty space beside her. Chen Xingtong became excited. As the golden light revealed an outline, she recognized it as the almost transparent, vanished silhouette of Jin Ziyue.

Jin Ziyue was closing his eyes and holding his breath, absorbing all the energy transmitted by the golden light.

Immediately afterward, as the golden light was absorbed by Jin Ziyue, the outline of Jin Ziyue's body became more and more prominent, and even his skin emitted a kind of luster.

Once all the light was absorbed, Jin Ziyue's figure became solid again. It seemed that some cracks were quietly breaking apart from his body, like the sound of shattered tiles. At the same time, Chen Xingtong could also see the last moment when the restrained golden light on his body disappeared.

The sound of disintegration completely disappeared, and Jin Ziyue slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of stale air.

His eyes remained as calm as ever, but Chen Xingtong keenly noticed that something about him seemed different; he seemed more composed, more at ease in the face of the current situation. ...

At the same time, Takeshi Kato Ren also immediately noticed the abnormality at the center of the storm.

He couldn't help but frown. This energy that appeared out of nowhere was vast and profound, containing a kind of indescribable ancient charm, which reminded him of some unpleasant past events.

"【All Rivers Flow into the Sea】?"

The old man couldn't help but glance at the eye of the storm again, his eyebrows slightly lowered, his gaze no longer as relaxed as before.

"Using the defensive mechanism of the [Anchor of the World] to hone the resilience of your soul, and then using the [Hundred Rivers Converging into the Sea] to repair your soul, so you can break through in one fell swoop and reach the level of using 'field'? You sure know how to take shortcuts."

Wu Xiangneng could sense that at this moment, Jin Ziyue had truly grasped the level of transforming "potential energy" into "potential field" by leveraging "fate".

Destiny originates from the soul, and is refined through the application of destiny texts to ultimately benefit oneself. Compared to directly using destiny texts, the role of destiny is more fundamental.

With his mastery of the "power field," Jin Ziyue no longer needs to worry about Chen Ruolan's [Tiger Ink Incense], because he is using the power of his own soul, not the power of destiny.

"I see."

Then, by using a domain associated with the soul, will Chen Ruolan be awakened?

"They just rely on petty tricks."

Wu Xiang laughed heartily, no longer paying attention, and then turned and walked away, brushing past the woman in white beside him.

……

"What's wrong with you..." Chen Xingtong stepped forward and looked Jin Ziyue up and down. There seemed to be some kind of change in the man's temperament, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Jin Ziyue raised his hand, clenched his fist slightly, and grasped the difference roughly by familiarizing himself with the changes in his soul in just a moment.

"Xing Tong, I'll take you inside. I'm leaving the waking up of Ruo Lan to you."

Then, before Chen Xingtong could react, she felt light and shadow shifting around her. It seemed as if ink was spreading out around Jin Ziyue, quickly enveloping him. In the blink of an eye, the chaotic storm, the red crystals, and the roar of the colliding giants all disappeared, and everything became quiet.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Ruolan in front of her.

"Look!" She was about to call out to Jin Ziyue when she discovered that he had also disappeared along with the ink wash.

This is?

"Jin Ziyue?"

Chen Xingtong was very surprised. She looked around and called out again, but received no response.

She could only focus her attention on Chen Ruolan in front of her, who remained suspended in the air with her knees tucked in, as if she had a pair of invisible wings supporting her in mid-air.

Is this Chen Ruolan's soul?

Chen Xingtong looked at the sleeping woman in front of her and felt something was off. Her body emitted a faint fluorescence and had no specific outline. It was more like a human body formed by a soft mass of light.

"Star Eyes." At that moment, Jin Ziyue's voice came from the horizon.

Chen Xingtong looked up in surprise: "Jin Ziyue? Where are you?"

"I am maintaining my domain so that you can briefly enter Chen Ruolan's world of consciousness. No matter what happens, you must awaken her."

“Okay.” Chen Xingtong looked at the white expanse and realized that it was a manifestation of Chen Ruolan’s inner world.

"I'm counting on you, Ruolan. I can maintain this for about ten minutes. After ten minutes, the domain will be removed, and your soul will return to reality."

Chen Xingtong pursed her lips, glanced at the woman's sleeping profile, and nodded solemnly, saying, "I understand."
