Chapter 395 - 396: Destiny Golden Lotus
A Rainbow Bridge spanned the void, leading directly to a mass of iridescent light. Its blooming radiance was incomparably dazzling, casting a multi-colored sheen upon the massive Barbarian God Battle Platform.
Bathed in the colorful light, the crowd felt as if they were in an Immortal Realm.
All eyes were fixed on the figure treading upon the Rainbow Bridge, walking step by step toward the center.
The Barbarian God’s Blessing!
Ye Wushuang was also curious. ’What exactly is making the Dragon Cat so excited?’
The giant elder and the Giant Spirit Clan were still chanting. A hundred beasts roamed at Ye Wushuang’s feet as he walked, making him feel as if he were ascending to the heavens to look down upon all living things.
This sensation caused even his Invincible Dao Heart to waver slightly.
However, he quickly suppressed it.
A moment later, Ye Wushuang’s figure finally reached the end of the Rainbow Bridge.
The iridescent light before him was about twenty to thirty feet high. It gave Ye Wushuang an extremely comfortable feeling; experiencing its radiance up close made his very soul feel buoyant.
’How invigorating!’
A peculiar sensation washed over his soul.
’Is this my reward?’
Unable to wait, Ye Wushuang strode into the iridescent light.
BOOM!
The moment his right foot stepped in, the Barbarian God Battle Platform trembled, as if that single step could shake the heavens and make all spirits shudder in fear.
Countless eyes stared at the ball of iridescent light. It was the first time they had ever seen something so miraculous, and they were all intensely curious.
Meanwhile, within the Ancient Spirit Sect, the Star Elder gazed at the iridescent light, appearing exceptionally excited. A flush appeared on his pale face.
"Destiny... It really is... It really is!"
He muttered to himself. Probably no one understood what that iridescent light was better than he did.
Destiny. The world’s Destiny!
For someone like him who practiced the Inference Technique, he knew exactly what Destiny represented!
In the center of the sky, Ye Wushuang stepped in with one foot, then the other. His body vanished into the iridescent light, completely enveloped.
Immediately after, he was nowhere to be seen!
"What’s going on?"
Nangong Liuyun’s brow furrowed. He could no longer sense Ye Wushuang’s aura.
"Don’t worry. This is his great opportunity!" The Star Elder stroked his white beard with a smile, silently blessing Ye Wushuang.
BOOM!
As his figure submerged, the hundred beasts rushed in after him. The hundred flowers disintegrated, turning into motes of light that merged into the iridescent glow. The Rainbow Bridge also began to fade.
All that remained was the iridescent light in the void, scattering streams of nine-colored divine splendor!
It was like a nine-colored sun, brilliant and dazzling!
"Look, everyone! It’s getting smaller!"
Suddenly, before everyone’s eyes, the ball of iridescent light began to shrink, as if it were being absorbed. It grew smaller and smaller!
Before long, Ye Wushuang’s figure was revealed.
He stood calmly in the void as countless streams of iridescent light drilled into the space between his eyebrows.
From the outside, perhaps nothing seemed amiss.
But within his Divine Court, a world-shaking transformation was taking place.
Endless nine-colored iridescent light flooded his Divine Court.
Instantly, the Chaos Dragon Tomb, which had long been dormant, began to tremble slightly, as if excited and leaping with joy like a child.
It gave Ye Wushuang a very strange feeling.
Of course, he was immensely grateful that the Chaos Dragon Tomb didn’t devour this iridescent light. It had finally shown him some respect.
Besides the Chaos Dragon Tomb, the two ancient characters for "Emperor" and "Power" also stirred, releasing streams of radiance that merged into the iridescent light.
Then, the iridescent light gradually condensed, transforming into a cloud cluster in the shape of a lotus flower.
From the memories of the Ten Thousand Spirits Soul King, Ye Wushuang knew that this radiance was the Light of Holy Dao, and also the light of Destiny contained within a Dao Fruit!
’Could it be that this iridescent light is Destiny?’
Suddenly, Ye Wushuang came to a realization. He had heard before that the Barbarian God’s Blessing was a portion of the world’s Destiny.
He hadn’t paid it much mind at the time, but thinking about it now, this iridescent light must be the world’s Destiny.
’A heaven-defying treasure... This is a true heaven-defying treasure!’
Having figured it all out, Ye Wushuang’s Invincible Dao Heart trembled. He was utterly shocked.
Before, Ye Wushuang might not have known, but possessing the ten-thousand-year memories of the Ten Thousand Spirits Soul King, he now understood a few things about the world.
Destiny is innate, a person’s lot and fate. Strong Destiny brings great blessings, turns calamities into good fortune, and leads to great opportunities.
Weak Destiny leads to an early death, a reduction to withered bones!
Simply put, Destiny represents whether a person has good luck!
A person with heaven-defying Destiny could pick up a random rock and it might turn out to be a treasure!
And Destiny is innate; normally, it cannot be strengthened.
However, the world’s Destiny was different.
Legend had it that the world’s Destiny was a special, visible, and tangible existence. When it was dense enough, it could form a Destiny Golden Lotus.
The larger the Destiny Golden Lotus, the denser the Destiny it represented.
’No wonder the Chaos Dragon Tomb was so excited. A Destiny Golden Lotus... even Saints and Divine Demons would probably go mad for it!’
Ye Wushuang could hardly believe that the Barbarian God’s Blessing was actually a Destiny Golden Lotus.
His eyes were glued to the center of his Divine Court, to the newly formed lotus-shaped cloud cluster!
As time passed, all the iridescent light condensed into it. The cloud cluster solidified, and its nine-colored halo gradually turned golden.
Soon, a palm-sized Golden Lotus floated in the center of Ye Wushuang’s Divine Court. From a distance, it shone with a brilliant golden light, but up close, one could see nine-colored iridescence swirling within the Golden Lotus. It was extraordinarily beautiful.
SWOOSH!
Just as Ye Wushuang was rejoicing, the Golden Lotus transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished into the depths of his Divine Court.
’What’s going on?’
Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. He thought the Chaos Dragon Tomb was up to its tricks.
"Kid, Destiny is tied to the soul. The Destiny Golden Lotus naturally entered your soul. At your current Realm, you can’t perceive things on a spiritual level, so of course you can’t see it."
The Dragon Cat explained, its tone clearly one of gritted teeth, revealing just how jealous it was!
"And Lord Cat will tell you for free, this Destiny Golden Lotus has an even more heaven-defying function: it can plunder other people’s Destiny. If you kill someone, the Destiny Golden Lotus can devour that person’s Destiny to nourish itself."
The Dragon Cat’s sudden remark almost made Ye Wushuang’s Dao Heart crumble!
Destiny was innate, yet the Destiny Golden Lotus could actually plunder it, just like his Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body!
This Barbarian God’s Blessing was just too heaven-defying!
What incredible luck to have received such a great opportunity!
Ye Wushuang stared at his now-placid Divine Court, silent for a moment. He did his utmost to suppress his emotions before withdrawing his Divine Sense.
Outside, the iridescent light had vanished.
A Golden Lotus Mark now adorned the space between Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows, adding a touch of demonic charm to his handsome face.
Not only that, but a crown had also condensed above Ye Wushuang’s head!
It gathered his black hair, leaving only a few strands of his sideburns to dance in the wind, giving off the illusion that he was a sovereign ruling over the world!
Watching from below, the eyes of countless female disciples shone with adoration, their hearts fluttering!
