Chapter 246: Chapter 151: Two Divine Techniques, Earth Immortals Bow

「Qianqing Palace.」

A brilliant aura pulsed incessantly, filling Heaven and Earth.

However, this aura soon converged completely, not leaking out in the slightest.

’The Destiny Dao Fruit... to perceive the past, change the present, and influence the future...’

As Wang Xiao gazed at the fully formed Destiny Dao Fruit, which emanated a brilliant golden radiance, a new understanding dawned in his heart.

The moment the Destiny Dao Fruit took its final form, he felt it forge an intimate connection with his Inner World.

This caused his Inner World to rumble and shake, withstanding an unprecedented pressure.

At the same time, it also received an unprecedented level of nourishment.

The profound and mysterious aura emanating from the Destiny Dao Fruit was also constantly influencing his Inner World.

’No wonder the Inner World and the Great Daoist Nascent Soul must be extremely condensed to bear the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits. Just this one Origin Dao Fruit is already putting me under pressure. If I had a few more, my Inner World would probably collapse on the spot!’

Wang Xiao let out a sigh of relief.

An Origin Dao Fruit contains the Great Dao Rules of Heaven and Earth. The Dao Power within it is like the air inside a balloon; if the balloon isn’t big enough, it will eventually be stretched to its bursting point!

「This past month.」

Wang Xiao’s gains had been immense.

By analyzing the Earth Immortal Law within various Immortal Artifacts,

he had finally come to understand why the Dao Power of different Great Dao Rules varied so greatly.

All of Heaven and Earth was like a great tree.

The Origin Rules were like the roots, anchored deep in the earth, drawing nutrients for the great tree—in other words, sustaining the operation of the entire world.

Once one comprehended the Origin Rules, they would gain the most profound understanding of how all of Heaven and Earth operated.

The Dao Power one possessed would naturally be the most abundant.

As for the Basic Great Daos, such as the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, they were akin to the main trunk, maintaining the tree’s form—that is, they served to regulate and supplement the operation of the world.

Then there were the Natural Great Daos, like those of Arms, Literature, and Emotion. These were like the branches; their function was similar to the Basic Great Daos, but their harmonizing effect on the world’s operation was not as great as the trunk’s.

Finally, there were the heterodox Great Daos, such as those of Puppetry, Charm, and Flora. These were like the leaves, serving only an ornamental role in the world’s operation.

’The more deeply one can interfere with the operation of Heaven and Earth, the more Dao Power they possess, and the stronger the Divine Techniques they can unleash. This must be the secret to an Immortal Emperor’s invincibility!’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

He raised his hand slightly. At the same time, the Great Daoist Nascent Soul in his Inner World reached out its own hand, passing it through the Destiny Dao Fruit.

In an instant, a great, illusory hand emerged from between Wang Xiao’s brows and gently plucked the thread of destiny on his body.

VMMMM!

The thread of destiny suddenly began to vibrate.

Waves of a profound and mysterious aura, like a raging torrent, abruptly spread outwards!

In that moment, everyone who had ever crossed paths with Wang Xiao felt as if a gentle breeze had swept over them.

Scenes also began to flash before Wang Xiao’s eyes.

’Unleashing the Torrent of Destiny with the help of the Hand of Destiny is quite a nifty ability.’

A glint appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

At this moment, his Dao Fruit was fully condensed, and the power of the Hand of Destiny had naturally grown ever stronger!

If those Immortal Kings were to bring out ordinary Immortal Artifacts again, they would no longer be able to resist his Destiny Grafting.

Moreover, by using the Hand of Destiny to pluck his own thread of destiny, he could trigger the Torrent of Destiny.

Under the scouring of the Torrent of Destiny, Wang Xiao could perceive everything that anyone who had ever crossed paths with him was currently doing.

He could even invisibly alter their destinies!

Of course, the greater a person’s impact on Heaven and Earth, the harder their destiny was to change.

For instance, the destiny threads of Earth Immortals like Master Wuji were incredibly resilient and nearly impossible to alter.

However, while he couldn’t change their destinies outright, he could still influence them—if he was willing to pay the price!

CLANG!

Wang Xiao’s Hand of Destiny radiated a brilliant light.

A sharp sword materialized in the Hand of Destiny’s grasp, emanating waves of a majestic, vast, and profound aura!

This was a Divine Technique that Wang Xiao had naturally comprehended after condensing the Destiny Dao Fruit.

The Sword of Destiny!

Its purpose was to sever the destiny threads of others!

Even for an Earth Immortal, once Wang Xiao captured their trajectory of destiny and made their destiny thread manifest,

Wang Xiao could sever it with the Sword of Destiny!

Severing the thread connecting them to their past would cause everyone to forget them.

All their past interactions with others would be completely erased!

Severing the thread connecting them to their future would ensure they met with a swift calamity and perished on the spot.

After all, a person with no future destiny could no longer exist in Heaven and Earth.

This was a power even more terrifying than Destiny Grafting.

This was the very reason why an Immortal Emperor truly reigned supreme over all Earth Immortals.

Once an Immortal Emperor unleashed their Divine Techniques, an Earth Immortal had almost no way to counter them!

’The Torrent of Destiny and the Sword of Destiny... these two Divine Techniques. The former serves a perceptive role. Anyone who has ever crossed paths with me, or anyone currently plotting against me, will have nowhere to hide under the scouring of the Torrent of Destiny. I will be able to sense them all, because everything they do will have an impact on my destiny, however minuscule that impact may be.’

’As for the Sword of Destiny, unless my opponent has mastered an Origin Dao Fruit just as I have and can resist with their own Divine Techniques, or they wield a power comparable to an Original Divine Technique, then one slash means one death. No defensive measure will be of any use!’

’Of course, severing the destiny threads of people who have a negligible impact on Heaven and Earth will naturally cause no backlash for me. However, if I were to do so to someone with a great impact on the world, I would surely suffer a backlash as well.’
