Relying on the omnipresent, potentially explosive Blood Array, it was tough for Xuan Haoran to get close.

But Leng Qianliu would not wait for him.

One White Bone Base Station after another lit up, collecting large amounts of Spiritual Energy, which were injected into the girl’s body.

She casually raised her hand, and a scarlet light cannon nearly a meter in diameter suddenly burst from her palm, turning everything in its path to dust, aiming directly at Xuan Haoran.

Even with the ability to foresee the future, faced with such a Big Light Cannon covering half of the map, Xuan Haoran could only dodge awkwardly.

During evasion, he had to constantly watch out for sneak attacks from other monsters.

However, many dangers cannot be avoided just by being cautious.

Like those offspring of the Reproductive Mother Trees hidden beneath the black sludge.

While evading, Xuan Haoran entered a seemingly ordinary patch of black sludge, with no anomalies foreseen in the next twenty seconds.

But twenty seconds later in reality, countless black creatures burst from the mud, surrounding Xuan Haoran.

Each black creature emitted a laughter resembling a human voice, yet filled with evil and blasphemy, making Xuan Haoran’s head buzz.

Under the influence of this sound, the black creatures used claws composed of the Separating Bone Sabers and Bone Spears, attacking Xuan Haoran from various angles.

The speed was astonishing, comparable to some speed-type Spirit Beasts at the Foundation Establishment Peak.

In the face of such an all-encompassing attack, Xuan Haoran sighed:

"Destiny Defeated!"

In the next instant, invisible ripples affecting fate spread out.

All surrounding black creatures were influenced, their attacks missing entirely and hitting their companions instead.

For a moment, the screams of the black creatures echoed, allowing Xuan Haoran to escape the ambush smoothly.

"Alas, I planned to save some strength to use when seeing Su Yuan, but it seems I can only use it on the Celestial Wisdom Saintess first."

Xuan Haoran murmured to himself.

Immediately, the cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Peak burst forth.

"Destiny Defeated·Tide of History!"

Accompanied by Xuan Haoran’s low shout, ripples of fate rapidly spread, falling upon everything present that could be influenced by Fate.

But this time, Destiny Defeated was different from before.

Previously, the Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques could only cause a decline in a single target’s Fate, and once depleted, it was over.

However, the advanced usage of Destiny Defeated ’Tide of History’ caused every living being to become a strange source of contamination, passively reducing the Fate of those around them.

Xuan Haoran termed this phenomenon as the Destiny Community Phenomenon.

For example, if someone in a company project team perfectly completed a task through effort and a bit of luck, they could uplift the entire team’s Fate with commendations and bonuses from leadership.

Conversely, if there was a bad apple in the team, the entire team would suffer, causing a decline in Fate.

This is the Destiny Community.

Destiny Defeated·Tide of History is a powerful Divine Technique formed based on this theory.

This divine technique can be applied to certain targets within the enemy camp, influencing more of their allies to achieve the purpose of one against a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand.

However, the downside of this divine technique is also glaring—it’s highly consuming!

Just one activation made Xuan Haoran, already heavily drained, feel as if he were being sucked dry, twitching at the corners of his mouth.

He somewhat regretted his pompous display before the Trial Sword Tournament.

He should have taken some supplies along the way.

But anyhow, Destiny Defeated·Tide of History was not used in vain.

A large number of surrounding black creatures, Spirit Beasts, Corruption Daoist Soldiers, and even Reproductive Mother Trees were affected by this divine technique, spreading quickly outward.

Every Reproductive Mother Tree spaced twenty meters apart became the primary carrier for spreading the Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques.

Seeing this, Xuan Haoran was immensely satisfied.

Leng Qianliu had prepared thoroughly to deal with him, which was not wrong.

But precisely because of over-preparation, the third layer was filled with evil beings, allowing the Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques to spread like a plague.

Soon...it reached Leng Qianliu.

Through the special perspective brought by Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques, Xuan Haoran could clearly feel Leng Qianliu’s Fate beginning to plummet, quickly reaching the point where even drinking cold water would choke her!

"Succeeded!"

Xuan Haoran felt overjoyed in his heart.

Fate is a very mysterious thing, intangible and formless, yet it affects everything about a person.

Once one’s Fate is unfavorable, whatever one tries to do will face greater failure!

In the battle situation, it meant Xuan Haoran could disregard all of Leng Qianliu’s tactics and strike directly for victory!

"As I said, no matter how much Divinity Transformation Inheritance one has, it holds no value if it can’t be used properly."

Xuan Haoran slightly curled his lips, slowly pulling out a Soft Sword from his Dantian.

It was a sword as lazy as its owner, limp and compliant in Xuan Haoran’s hand.

With the Soft Sword in hand, he strolled leisurely towards Leng Qianliu.

Throughout this process, Leng Qianliu exhausted all means, constantly directing evil creations to besiege Xuan Haoran.

But the Destiny Community Phenomenon had already occurred, meaning that due to the owner’s declining Fate, even if some monsters’ Fate were normal, they frequently failed.

Soon, Xuan Haoran was in front of Leng Qianliu.

"Celestial Wisdom, do you have any last words?"

Xuan Haoran asked lightly, exuding a masterly demeanor.

Of course, he wasn’t trying to be a foolish villain talking too much, but was buying time to recover his cultivation.

After all, he had solemnly vowed not to rest or accept any provisions until he completed the tower challenge.

Secretly using supplies to recover wasn’t something he could reconcile with.

But posing this question to gradually restore expended Spiritual Power was acceptable.

To this question, Leng Qianliu’s answer was without hesitation:

"Can you have Su Yuan turn your Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques into an Elixir for me to try?"

Xuan Haoran’s face darkened.

This woman, her mind is completely filled with thoughts of knowledge!

He snorted coldly and said:

"Even if I left it there for Su Yuan to extract, he couldn’t do it with such unique Divine Techniques."

Leng Qianliu immediately showed regret and stayed silent.

Seeing this, Xuan Haoran said no more, raising his Soft Sword to strike.

But at this moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out:

"Profound Divine Child, your Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques are indeed formidable, but I don’t think fate sides with you."

Xuan Haoran suddenly looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a young man with a gentle demeanor, wearing the uniform of Evil Extermination University, appear beside Leng Qianliu.

Evidently, he had used the Instant Teleportation Technique of the Corruption Divine Kingdom to get there.

Moreover, given his untainted body, his identity was apparent:

"Su Yuan?"

Xuan Haoran was initially stunned, then overjoyed.

This kid is so reckless! He dared to appear right in front of me.

Doesn’t he know that Leng Qianliu remains a source of Fate pollution?

Standing next to this woman is no different from being struck by Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques.

As long as this kid’s Fate drops sufficiently low, he might not even be able to teleport.

Victory will be mine!

Noticing Su Yuan’s slightly declining Fate, Xuan Haoran calmly said:

"As a freshman, I must admit you’re a genius among geniuses, far surpassing my abilities two years ago."

"Unfortunately, young people need more experience to avoid impulsive actions, just like now."

Su Yuan smiled gently:

"I dared to appear because I’ve found a way to counteract the Destiny Defeated Divine Techniques."

"Celestial Calculation Divine Child, perhaps you should consider other tactics to challenge me... of course, that’s provided you can overcome my Dharma Guardian Celestial King first."

Xuan Haoran’s smile faltered.

He was about to frown and question Su Yuan’s meaning when his attention was abruptly drawn away.

He could clearly feel that Leng Qianliu’s Fate, which had plummeted to the extreme, began to rise frantically!

"What?!"
