The God of Heavens

Chapter 498 Tenth Level of Divine Power, Defying Fate
With ample vital energy, Lin Yu quickly mastered the Great Slaughter Technique and the Great God Sealing Technique.

"As expected, the intense training is so addictive!"

Having mastered two of the Three Thousand Great Daos in one go, Lin Yu's face lit up with joy.

All the great paths he cultivated—universal salvation, liberation, and deliverance—came from the Buddhist tradition, and he was already complete when he received them.

Seal, curse, teleportation, rule—all come from the God Emperor of the Divine Race; all that's needed is to refine the Longevity Fruit.

Life, change, illusion, plundered from the demon race experts, who had already reached perfection in their cultivation before this.

Cutting, collapse, the five elements, disaster, devouring, origin, acupoints, stars, chaos—these are all things I have painstakingly cultivated.

Now, there are also the Great Slaughter Technique and the Great God Sealing Technique, two perfect Great Daos.

At this point, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form had been completely condensed.

His mind sank into the marks of the heavens, and he suddenly gained some understanding of the syllables of the Lesser Destiny Technique.

"destiny!"

Lin Yu pondered these two words.

What is fate?
The length of time something exists is its destiny.

What is fortune?
Whether something exists well or poorly is a matter of fate.

Fate is determined by man, but destiny is determined by heaven.

Humans follow the laws of Heaven, but Heaven plays tricks on humans.

The cycle never ends, and retribution is inevitable.

Many thoughts arose.

"It seems I've reached the tenth level of supernatural powers—the point of defying fate."

Lin Yu murmured softly.

At this moment, his divine sense became clearer than ever before, and a will connected heaven and earth, piercing through time and space.

The sky is no longer the sky.

The land is no longer land.

Lin Yu felt his lifespan with perfect clarity.

Nine thousand, nine hundred, ninety-nine years, nine months, the ninth day.

Every instant, Lin Yu clearly felt that his lifespan was flowing into the endless void for a fleeting moment.

Lifespan is decreasing every moment.

He clearly saw his fate and no longer needed the divination of the Eight Trigrams.

Lin Yu's eyes saw even more.

This world is not the world as ordinary people see it.

Leaving aside the lofty and ethereal nature of fate, even the void itself has countless layers.

The layers of void contained numerous alternate dimensions, which Lin Yu's divine sense could already perceive and probe into.

I felt waves of vital energy that I couldn't usually feel.

The understanding of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the void universe, and various Dao principles is ten times clearer than before.

This is the complete condensation of the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, becoming a special existence, allowing one to understand a trace of destiny, learn one's lifespan, and thus gain the supernatural power of tenfold heaven-defying destiny-altering abilities.

At this moment, he knew that he had finally broken through and reached the tenth level of supernatural powers, a realm that could defy fate.

The tenth level of supernatural power, which defies fate, involves no flashy changes. It simply involves completing the celestial and terrestrial Dharma body and allowing it to resonate with oneself.

They gained a fundamental understanding of their own destiny and the fate of heaven and earth, and could see it directly.

More importantly, within the Mark of the Heavens, the Lesser Destiny Technique, those syllables that Lin Yu couldn't understand, are now repeatedly washing over his mind, and have actually left some traces.

In the darkness, Lin Yu sensed the gate to that mysterious world above his head.

"The gate to the immortal realm is right before us. However, it seems we still need to accumulate power before we can break through."

Once you reach the tenth level of supernatural powers, you can look up and see the gate to the immortal realm. Behind the gate to the immortal realm lie endless mysteries and boundless treasures.

Once opened, countless treasures will fall out.

By obtaining the infinite laws of the Great Dao and the boundless primordial energy of the Immortal Realm, one can step into the secret realm of longevity and constantly communicate with the gates of the Immortal Realm to replenish primordial energy.

Lin Yu knew that he was still some distance from the Longevity Realm, but with the help of the Longevity Fruit, he might be able to break through to the Longevity Realm in one fell swoop.

However, if one were to accumulate more power and directly attack the immortal body, that would be even more perfect.

"Lin Yu, after the Golden Core Realm comes the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire. The more supernatural abilities a cultivator possesses, the heavier the tribulation will be. However, I have also cultivated the Great Tribulation Technique, so I am not afraid of the tribulation. I will be going into seclusion for the next few days."

Fang Qingxue sensed her own state; time was ticking away every moment, and it seemed her days were numbered.

We must seize the time and make great strides.

"Alright, Qingxue, I'll go to the auction. I heard there's a new elixir that's been produced. I'd like to see it."

Lin Yu looked over, and the two locked eyes.

Then a flash of lightning, and the two disappeared in an instant.

……

“Fellow Daoist, the first item to be auctioned is the Nirvana Pill. If you are interested in bidding for it, I will not participate in the bidding; if you are not interested, I would like to try to compete for it.”

In the VIP room of Jiudingxuan, Prince Xu spoke.

"The Nirvana Pill? It's useless to me now."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then said:

"If Your Highness obtains this pill, you will survive the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire and achieve the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth. You will undoubtedly become the number one prince of the Great Xuan Empire. I support you in bidding for it."

"Well, alright then, I'll try this one..."

Prince Xu was shocked upon hearing this.

Nirvana Pill! That's a top-tier elixir, and this Fellow Daoist Lin actually says it's "useless"?
"Hiss—a Nirvana Pill! It could even increase one's chances of breaking through to the Longevity Realm by three points, yet you're so nonchalant about it, senior?"

Standing behind Prince Xu, the Taoist priest's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Seniors are naturally different from us,"

A white-bearded immortal beside him secretly transmitted his voice.
"The senior's accumulation must be unfathomable. The Nirvana Pill has little effect on him, but it would be perfect to use it to help the prince overcome the tribulation of wind and fire."

"But... I wonder how much supernatural power you used to condense that golden core, senior?" Qing Daoren clicked his tongue.

He felt that his once-proud title of "Golden Core Minor Giant" was utterly laughable. It was like being a frog in a well with a limited perspective.

"The Nirvana Pill has a starting price of 400 million, and each bid must be at least 10 million."

Just then, the person in charge of Jiudingxuan began to preside over the auction.

"Four hundred and ten million."

"Four hundred and twenty million."

"Five billion."

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

……

"Tsk tsk, I originally thought that having tens of millions was already a huge sum of money, but now these people are raising the price to fifty million."

In a VIP room, a scholar-like cultivator listened to the bidding from the other cultivators, his face showing some unease.

It was Fang Han who came here with Nebula Baby.

However, without the trip to Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, although he received some help from Lin Yu, he was still at the Celestial Realm due to the lack of experience in the Five Elements Land.

Fang Han seems to have lost many opportunities because of his arrival.

It also reduced the danger.

Calamity and fortune have always coexisted.

Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant aroma?

This means that on the path of spiritual practice, experiencing more things may be good, while not experiencing tribulations may mean losing a karmic connection.

"Don't be uncomfortable. The little wealth we've gained from slaying demons and monsters is nothing in Xuanhuang City."

"Listen, it's already reached 600 million. This Nirvana Pill is beyond our reach right now."

Yan spoke in a muffled voice.

"Brother Fang Han, I still have a few hundred million here, why don't we shout it out too?"

The little boy next to Fang Han spoke up.

"Forget it, Nebula Baby. If you spend that much money to bid for the Nirvana Pill, even if you go back, you'll be impeached."

Fang Han was startled and quickly stopped Nebula Baby.

This Nebula baby, despite being the son of the leader of the Star Gate, is far too trusting of others.

With this kind of mentality, one is likely to suffer losses in the future.

"Alright then, let's see if there's anything else good."

Baby Nebula took out a peach and bit into it, letting the juice drip out.

"One billion!"

Off-site, the price of this Nirvana Pill has already reached one billion.

“Mr. Hua, I originally wanted to bid for this Nirvana Pill for you, but I didn’t expect to run into a competitor—judging from this, it’s most likely that kid Prince Xu. He’s getting richer and richer these days.”

In a VIP room, a man dressed in imperial robes spoke to a man in blue beside him.

This man in blue was none other than Hua Tiandu.

And that prince was none other than the eldest prince, Prince Feng.

"If we can acquire this Nirvana Pill, Brother Tiandu, you will surely be able to break through to the Longevity Realm and become an eternal giant. At that time, we will all have to go to the Feathered Ascension Sect to congratulate you."

A Taoist priest standing beside Hua Tiandu smiled; he was Huang Longyi, the legendary minor leader of the Taiyi Sect.

"This pill is dispensable to me. In three to five years, I will inevitably step into the Longevity Realm and become an ancient giant. I still need to savor and comprehend the breakthrough to this realm."

Hua Tiandu smiled faintly: "If we can win this pill, I will give it to Junior Sister Yan as a congratulatory gift."

"oops!"

Zhou Chuyi immediately showed an expression of admiration.
"Senior Sister Yan Shui is a genius of the Taiyi Sect. She reached the tenth level of supernatural powers and the ability to defy fate at a very young age. She is hard to find a match for among the ten sects of immortality."

Brother Hua was actually willing to give her the Nirvana Pill; such generosity will surely make all the female disciples in the sect extremely envious!

"At the gathering of immortals, perhaps Junior Sister Yan and I can attain the secret of immortality together."

Hua Tiandu's face revealed a hint of confidence as he swept his gaze across the entire room with an air of disdain.

"By the way, Brother Hua,"

Zhang Tianyi suddenly spoke.
"I heard that a young man named Fang Han has recently emerged in the Feathered Ascension Sect. He cultivates at an extremely fast pace and has even had a conflict with you?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Tiandu's eyes flashed with a cold glint: "It's alright, let him run wild for a few more days. Once I step into the Longevity Secret Realm, I can easily crush him, and Elder Tianxing will have nothing to say then."

"That's right!"

Another Taiyi Sect disciple immediately echoed,
"Brother Hua possesses the treasures of Immortal Venerable Panwu and has cultivated the Panwu Great Strength Divine Ability. Once he breaks through to the Longevity Secret Realm, he will soon be able to cultivate the second level of immortality. At that time, Fang Han will be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, completely at your mercy!"

"Yes, Junior Brother is right. Once I break through, I will make him know the consequences of opposing me."

Hua Tiandu's words conveyed an aura of complete control.

His gaze swept across the world, unstoppable, exuding an aura of dominance.

"One billion!"

Hua Tiandu simply uttered a price.

He actually added a hundred million!

It jumped directly from one billion to one billion.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I seem to be running a bit short of money right now. I wonder if you could lend me some?"

Prince Xu shuddered when he heard a price of 1.1 billion called out from the VIP room in the distance.

"Ha, that's not difficult, but Your Highness will need to help find that kind of wood more often in the future."

"Good! Good! As long as you help me this time, I will mobilize everyone to search for that kind of wood and do my best! In fact, once I have the authority, I will also go to the royal treasury to look for it."

"okay."

Lin Yu nodded, looked outside, and casually uttered three words.

"Five billion."
