In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Outside the Tai Xuan Mountains.

Looking at the blood-red vortex that blotted out the sky, Li Shouzhou and the others all felt a sense of unease.

Moreover, as the area of ​​the crimson vortex continued to expand, the devouring power emanating from it became increasingly terrifying.

Many disciples and elders who were slightly weaker felt their blood and energy suddenly become extremely violent.

It was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, rampaging through the body, eager to burst out and merge with that blood-red vortex.

Fortunately, Li Shouzhou waved his sleeve and unleashed his Heavenly Fate Domain, isolating all the devouring power, which allowed everyone to return to normal and no longer be affected.

"The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect is decisive. Once he senses danger, he will forcefully break through to the next realm regardless of the cost, even if it means sacrificing the entire sect."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

Those who can become sect patriarchs are all people with extremely deep cunning and decisive ruthlessness.

If the situation turns unfavorable, they will decisively abandon the pawns to save the king, prioritizing their own survival.

After all, what is the difference between a sect's thousand-year heritage and one's own life?

Moreover, as long as they are alive, they can branch out and rebuild their sect.

In contrast.

The Great Ancestor was caught off guard by Li Shouzhuo and his group, and thus perished without any preparation.

If he had known about Li Shouzhuo's breakthrough beforehand, he would definitely have done the same as the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Even if it means sacrificing the entire Great Li Dynasty, they will forcefully step into the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Just as Lu Yuan was pondering.

The crimson vortex expanded rapidly, enveloping an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, and making the world incredibly dark.

But then.

The crimson vortex, which had expanded to its maximum extent, suddenly contracted rapidly, and all the blood mist rolled back and poured into the crimson pillar of light.

"Hundreds of years of arduous cultivation are not as good as a single day of enlightenment."

"Today, I enter into destiny!"

A deafening roar suddenly echoed from the depths of Tai Xuan Peak.

Then, under everyone's solemn gaze, an aged figure slowly rose from the blood-red pillar of light.

The old man wore a blood-red robe, his gaze commanding respect without anger.

Simply standing in mid-air, it exuded a terrifying aura that caused even the wind and clouds to change color.

And this person was none other than the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect!

However, compared to before.

The aura of the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch was as deep as a prison, and his strength had undergone a qualitative change.

Furthermore, his eyes flashed with a savage and bloodthirsty light, and his long, blood-red hair danced in the wind, making him appear extremely demonic.

But at this time.

In the ruins of the collapsed sect, a emaciated, desiccated corpse suddenly raised its head shakily, looked at the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect with tears streaming down its face, and spoke with difficulty.

"Ancestor, we could have joined forces to fight the enemy, why did you do this?"

"A bunch of fools! It is your greatest honor to help me break through!"

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect snorted coldly, glanced indifferently at the mummified corpse, and then casually waved his hand, blasting the mummified corpse into dust from a distance.

He then stared intently at Li Shouzhou and the others, a cruel smile appearing on his face.

"The Blood Spirit Soul-Stealing Array is indeed a demonic technique; its effects are truly remarkable."

"I wonder to what extent sacrificing you, this powerful being destined for heaven, would increase my strength?"

"Fellow Daoist, you have fallen into demonic possession."

Looking at the Tai Xuan Sect patriarch, whose temperament had drastically changed and who seemed to have gone mad, Li Shouzhou shook his head slightly.

However, things have come to this point, and there is no other way but to fight.

"Qingxuan, you look after the other disciples. I'll go and meet him."

Li Shouzhou gave a word of advice, then transformed into a rainbow of light and rushed straight towards the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect.

"Hahaha, good time!"

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect burst into wild laughter, unleashing a terrifying aura, and engaged in a fierce battle with Li Shouzhou.

"boom!"

Both were destined for greatness, and could unleash terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and overturning seas with every move they made.

When they unleashed their full power, the entire mountain range nearly collapsed, and the earth itself was torn apart, forming deep ravines.

The surging and powerful fluctuations of the laws swept outwards like a raging storm, causing the void to tremble incessantly.

"Go back!"

Han Qingxuan's expression changed drastically. He protected the group of Qingyun Sect disciples and hurriedly retreated more than a hundred miles away before barely managing to stop.

Because the pressure emanating from Li Shouzhou and the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect was too terrifying, even he, with his half-step Heavenly Fate cultivation, found it difficult to withstand!
"Is this the terrifying power that a Heavenly Mandate expert can unleash when they go all out?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

He had fought against the Great Li Ancestor before, but in comparison, even with the blessing of a thousand-year-old dynasty, the Great Li Ancestor's combat power was less than one-tenth of that of the Tai Xuan Sect Ancestor.

Moreover, the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect was a man of great hidden talent, and somehow obtained a portion of the evil spirit sect's demonic cultivation techniques.

After he refined countless souls, his strength became even more terrifying, even surpassing Li Shouzhou's!

After all, Li Shouzhou, with the help of that Fetal Origin Fruit, stepped into the Heavenly Fate Realm in one fell swoop.

However, he had only recently broken through to the next level and had just consolidated his cultivation. He had not yet had time to master new techniques and supernatural abilities.

Compared to other powerful beings of the same rank, his combat strength was far too weak, placing him at the very bottom.

In contrast, although the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect also succeeded in breaking through the realm by chance, the demonic methods were inherently unorthodox and could obtain greater power in a short period of time.

As the time goes.

The murderous aura emanating from the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch grew increasingly intense, while Li Shouzhou gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

"Sect Master, I'm going to lend my support to Senior Li."

Having experienced many lifetimes, Lu Yuan, with his combat experience, could tell at a glance that Li Shouzhuo was no match for the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch.

He quickly gave a brief instruction, then unfurled his Wind and Thunder Wings and approached the battlefield ahead.

"Boy, you've come at the right time! The reason why my Tai Xuan Sect has fallen to this state is all because of your sins!"

"Today I will personally slay you to appease the spirits of my disciples in heaven!"

Seeing Lu Yuan take the initiative to fight, the Tai Xuan Sect patriarch was not angry but happy. He immediately flipped his hand and summoned a white bone soul banner.

This soul banner is carved entirely from dragon bones and is engraved with many strange patterns. Even an ordinary cultivator would feel uneasy just by looking at it.

At first, the soul banner was only the size of a palm, but as the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect poured a large amount of magic power into it, the area of ​​the soul banner immediately increased dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a hundred-foot-long soul banner, standing proudly in the void.

The spirit banners fluttered in the wind.

A chilling wind blew, and ghostly figures loomed large.

It was as if the gates of the deepest hell had been opened, and countless vengeful ghosts surged out, ready to devour all flesh and life!

At the same time, a chilling cold that pierced the soul suddenly spread throughout the world, making people feel as if they were in hell, and they couldn't help but shiver.

Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner!
Legend has it that when the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect was young, he had a great opportunity and accidentally obtained a dragon bone in an extremely yin place.

Unlike ordinary dragons, this bone came from a genuine dragon, even though that dragon had been dead for countless millennia.

However, the surface of this dragon bone still bears a trace of dragon energy, making it an absolute treasure!
Most importantly, this bone has been nurtured in an extremely yin place for thousands of years, absorbing countless yin energies and souls, making it a top-grade material for refining soul-path magic treasures.

After obtaining this bone, the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect spent hundreds of years painstakingly refining it into a Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner.

With this banner, he became invincible among his peers and rose to become the second half-step Heavenly Mandate Great Power in the Great Li Dynasty.

In other words, the Great Ancestor of the Great Li Dynasty possessed the fortune of a thousand-year-old imperial dynasty, which enabled him to greatly increase his combat power.

Otherwise, in terms of pure strength, the Great Li Ancestor might not be a match for the Tai Xuan Sect Ancestor!
"Whoo~"

Just as the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect had unleashed this Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner.

A nameless, cold wind suddenly swept over them, and many of the weaker Qingyun Sect disciples felt their souls shake and their minds go blank.

Followed by.

Their bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness forever.

Not to mention the ordinary disciples, even someone as skilled as Li Shouzhou was affected by this gust of yin wind and his body stiffened.

It felt like my soul was frozen, my reactions were clumsy and sluggish, and my thinking speed was much slower.

However, Lu Yuan was prepared for this eerie wind.

The three-colored lotus deep within his soul palace rotated slightly, instantly scattering specks of rosy light, ensuring that his soul remained unaffected and could always remain clear.

Not only that.

A ball of three-colored divine fire suddenly emerged from his body. This ball of fire swelled with the wind and instantly transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire, seemingly capable of incinerating all demons and monsters.

The eerie and unpredictable gust of wind, upon contact with the three-colored divine fire, seemed to be burned, immediately emitting a plume of black smoke and accompanied by a series of extremely shrill howls.

"A mere ant at the seventh level of Nirvana actually managed to withstand my Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner? It seems you have indeed gained quite a bit from the inheritance of destiny!"

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect stared intently at the three-colored sea of ​​fire, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Master Lingxu's cultivation is extraordinary; he is the strongest among the Heavenly Mandate Great Powers, and has already stepped into the Void Dao Realm with one foot in it.

For such beings, simply extending a finger would be enough to easily crush a novice like the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch who had just entered the Heavenly Fate Realm.

However, if he can obtain the destiny inheritance left by Master Lingxu, his strength will definitely increase again, reaching an unimaginable level!

"Young man, your methods are not bad, but it's a pity your cultivation is a bit weak. This divinely ordained inheritance should belong to me!"

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect sneered, grabbed the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner, and poured most of his magical power into it.

"boom!"

Driven by immense magical power.

The Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner seemed to come alive, instantly bursting forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light.

The runes imprinted on the surface of the soul banner moved rapidly, as if a sleeping ancient dragon was quickly reviving.

Amidst the surging of talismanic light.

All the magic power surged into the Soul Staff, eventually manifesting as a phantom of a real dragon!
"Roar!"

The phantom of the real dragon was thousands of feet long, and although it was only formed from a piece of dragon bone, its figure was extremely illusory and transparent.

However, the immense dragon might emanating from it was terrifying, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.

The moment made everyone present gasp for breath, as if a great disaster was about to befall them!

"The Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner has fully revived?"

Looking at the imposing dragon, Li Shouzhou, Han Qingxuan, and the others all turned extremely pale.

The Primordial True Dragon once looked down upon the starry sky and was one of the most powerful beings in this world.

Although this dragon bone has long since lost most of its power due to the erosion of time.

Even so, it's still beyond their ability to defeat!

However, having come this far, Li Shouzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the challenge.

"go with!"

He made a hand seal, and a talisman shot towards the illusory image of the true dragon like lightning.

at the same time.

A powerful sealing force quickly spread out, enveloping an area of ​​hundreds of miles in an attempt to imprison the phantom of the true dragon.

However, as the phantom of the true dragon struggled and resisted, this invincible divine talisman, which could even seal the Great Universe Shifting Talisman, lost its effect.

The phantom of the real dragon roared to the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, and suddenly unleashed a deafening dragon roar.

Visible sound waves rippled through the void, causing all the mountains below to crumble and turn into ruins.

Some Qingyun Sect disciples with weak cultivation were even directly shocked, their eardrums ruptured, their heads exploded, and they burst into a cloud of blood mist!
Compared to the chaotic Qingyun Sect disciples, Lu Yuan appeared quite calm.

He possesses cultivation experience from multiple lifetimes and has fought countless pure-blooded true dragons.

The phantom of the real dragon before him was merely a fragment of dragon bone, yet it dared to act so fiercely in front of him.

"Elder, don't worry, I'm here to help you!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and activated his Vajra Body to its fullest extent.

All of a sudden.

His powerful blood and energy revived, his entire body radiating immortal golden light, standing tall amidst the three-colored sea of ​​fire, like a reincarnated Buddha who subdues dragons, ready to suppress this evil dragon that wreaks havoc on the world!

"kill!"

Under the gaze of everyone.

Lu Yuan soared into the sky, carrying the three-colored divine fire, transforming into a golden rainbow, and collided directly with the phantom of the true dragon.

"Boom!"

In that instant.

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, causing space to cave in.

The once indestructible void is now like a shattered mirror, revealing fine cracks resembling a spider web.

The aftershocks and shockwaves generated by the collision were like a surging ocean, sweeping out in all directions.

Wherever it passed, everything was crushed to dust by the aftershocks!
"How is this possible? Can a mere physical body withstand a top-grade magic weapon?"

Upon seeing this scene, the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect was extremely astonished and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It should be noted that the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Banner was forged from a fragment of a true dragon's bone, and its defensive power is even stronger than many sacred artifacts.

But how could Lu Yuan, a mere Nirvana cultivator, possibly withstand a top-grade magic weapon and emerge unscathed?

Is that human being?
Upon seeing this, Li Shouzhou, Han Qingxuan, and the others were so shocked that their scalps tingled and they were speechless for a long time.

They knew that Lu Yuan was exceptionally talented, and fighting against opponents of higher levels was as easy for him as eating and drinking.

But the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect is a genuine, divinely appointed great power!
Furthermore, he wields a top-grade magic weapon, making him many times stronger than the Great Li Ancestor.

But even so.

Lu Yuandu can still stand up to the Heavenly Mandate powerhouse and not be at a disadvantage at all?

Such talent and combat prowess are simply too astonishing! (End of Chapter)
