Abundant Martial Arts Virtue-Chapter 1029 - 868: Karma and Choice

Above billions of stars, endless planes, and multiverse dimensions,

lies a place unrivaled by any.

There stands a gigantic sculpture, constantly emitting endless laws of power, nourishing all worlds.

The statue is of a woman dressed in radiant clothes.

She gently closes her eyes, with a compassionate expression, gazing upon all beings and things, experiencing everything in the increase of entropy in the eight desires, ultimately reaching towards Tao.

Upon this statue exuding boundless might, in her raised hand, she holds a throne of myriad flowers.

There is a spirit on the throne.

Xie Daoling.

She opens her eyes and sees through countless times and spaces in an instant.

"Is that so."

"Between you and me, we have finally come to this step."

She sighed softly.

A figure quickly appeared in the void outside the statue, cupping his fist and saying:

"Master, why not let me go to this battle."

Gu Qingshan.

At this moment, he is wearing battle armor, with a helmet emitting dark intense flames, a silver faceguard, exuding a murderous aura all over, no longer lazy as before.

"No."

Xie Daoling spoke.

"Ultimately, the eternal ceremony must be faced by the two poles of eternity, you cannot enter my battle with her."

Liu Ping quietly appeared, speaking in a deep voice:

"Is there really nothing we can do to help?"

"Not necessarily," Xie Daoling glanced at him and said, "Everything that has a beginning has an end, this is cause and effect, it is the only enemy of eternity."

A violent tremor came.

Countless worlds began to collapse.

"I must meet her now, this is the final battle!"

After saying that, Xie Daoling suddenly flashed and vanished from the huge statue, disappearing into darkness.

Only Gu Qingshan and Liu Ping remained standing in the dark void.

"Did you understand what your master said?"

Liu Ping asked.

"The being mastering the pole of evil demons has slaughtered too many beings, this is the consequence she must bear." Gu Qingshan said.

"So... the master of evil spirits, Wu Xiaode?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes— that Xia Huilan is extremely clever, she found the man who can gather all the evil thoughts of all beings into one body, and became the person beside that man." Gu Qingshan exclaimed.

"In the end, this master representing all evil spirits successfully helped her open the ritual of returning to eternity." Liu Ping said.

The two fell into silence.

"No, it won't be that simple, Little Wu might still have a chance." Gu Qingshan said.

"That depends on his decision." Liu Ping said.

Gu Qingshan pondered and said, "If it were me—"

"Would you oppose all worlds for Anna?" Liu Ping interrupted him and said.

"This is different."

"It is different, I'm actually very worried..."

"Let's go, maybe he needs our help, let's go to the battlefield together!"

The two disappeared.

On the other side.

At the top of the Holy Pillar.

On the altar.

Wu Xiaode said, "Sister Lan... I heard from Gu Qingshan that the secret path to the future has been sealed, was it you?"

"Yes, if you knew that the reason you are immune to evil transformation was because my evil nature is the strongest, it would disrupt my plan." Xia Huilan said.

"What plan?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"At that time, you were still struggling in the 'Pilgrimage', without obtaining the Holy and Demon Key, I was afraid you would give up halfway." Xia Huilan said.

Wu Xiaode nodded and sighed:

"So if I deviated from your plan, things would immediately happen to obstruct me, wouldn't they?"

"Yes," Xia Huilan openly admitted, "It's hard to start the 'Pilgrimage', I had to constantly interrupt your wrong actions, guiding everything my way."

Wu Xiaode fell silent.

That explains why things went particularly smoothly at times, while at other times everything was interrupted.

So she had long been setting it all up!

Wu Xiaode sighed again and said, "So... in the future time, evil spirits rush to descend, to deal with you..."

"That's the natural instinct of evil spirits, they can sense that I'm truly their enemy." Xia Huilan said.

She gently took Wu Xiaode's hand.

"It's alright, Little Wu, I know you might not feel good, but I've already won, you can be with me well in the future."

"But..." Wu Xiaode hesitated.

"No buts, everything will reset, and you will be taken back by me to the eternal Holy Realm."

Xia Huilan suddenly cast a magic towards the void.

A silhouette appeared immediately.

Xie Daoling.

As soon as she appeared, she first glanced at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode's whole body froze.

Around him, glass-like things appeared, shattering to pieces one after another.

"You broke his memory seal? Useless little tricks, it's over, I won." Xia Huilan said.

She let go of his hand, levitated, emitting waves of dazzling white light, penetrating the void, destroying billions of worlds, assimilating all laws.

— Her aura grew ever stronger.

"It's so reminiscent, I haven't seen you for so long, Xia."

Xie Daoling said, "I remember you of old, initially wanted to breed all things, letting everything in its due course, all beings happy and immortal."

Xia Huilan sneered, "Nothing in the world is unchanged, life and death, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, even you and I are constantly changing, as long as under eternity, one forever bears this unpredictable and detestable state."

"Only by returning to eternity can all this cease."

The two simultaneously waved their hands across the air.

In an instant.

All turned silent.

A wheel of white energy emanated from the altar, instantly obliterating the battlefield, sweeping away all thirty million worlds near the battlefield to ashes.
