Chapter 873 - 338: Heaven Is Dead! (3)
And she calls herself the Immortal Su Saintess.
Haotian cannot comprehend the actions of the Immortal Su Saintess. Though her role as an agent was forcefully taken, she indeed fulfills the duties of this agent by resolving many defiers on his behalf.
The so-called Celestial Demon Will was created by her.
A thousand years ago, when the Shangjing Dynasty ascended to the Immortal Dynasty, it opened the Immortal Dynasty Gate.
As the Heavenly Dao, Haotian seized the True Dragon Will of the Mortal World, yet was discovered and confronted by the Immortal Su Saintess.
It was then that she created the Celestial Demon Will.
This Celestial Demon Will became the power aiding Fan Wubing to reach his path today.
At this very moment, all thoughts of Haotian were penetrated by the eternal eye of Fan Wubing. He laughed,
"So that’s how it is. No wonder she captivated even my heart."
He recalled the time in his life as Seven Luminaries True Monarch where he had encounters with the Immortal Su Saintess.
The real name of the Immortal Su Saintess was Baili Yao Yue. Disliking this name, she called herself "Moon Lord" before becoming the Immortal Su Saintess. When he first met her, Fan Wubing found her rather arrogant and had a poor attitude towards her.
But as they gradually interacted, he realized she was actually a bit mischievous yet charming.
Later, the first and only time the Seven Luminaries True Monarch felt moved was for her.
Peach Blossoms sensed his thoughts and disdainfully said,
"You are no longer that pure Seven Luminaries True Monarch. You are a frivolous Wu Wangxinger."
Fan Wubing awkwardly chuckled,
"But that’s not the point."
He looked at Haotian and said,
"Perhaps my path of defying fate will ultimately fail. But some principles will never change; some essences remain eternally unaltered. No matter your mission coming from the Great Thousand Worlds as the Heavenly Dao, for this realm, you undoubtedly remain a false Heavenly Dao. Since ancient times, no one has ever willingly shackled themselves.
"The reason people are distinct is because they know they are unique. Coming to this world is to strive for a beautiful future and achieve the ideal self. Perhaps most people cannot succeed, but no one has the right to strip others of their pursuit for a better future."
Fan Wubing held the Demon Sword Peach Blossom, pointing it at Haotian’s forehead,
"If you wish to deprive the people of their pursuit for a better future, then you are the enemy. You are unworthy of being the World Will. The true representative of all beings can only be the beings themselves."
Haotian held his breath.
He could not sense Fan Wubing’s power, nor even his will.
Though Fan Wubing was visibly present, he seemed distant, set in layers of obscure mist.
From the moment Fan Wubing spoke of his three paths in life, Haotian realized he could no longer comprehend Fan Wubing.
Haotian bellowed his final cry,
"Destiny will crush all who attempt to defy it!"
Fan Wubing was completely indifferent to this statement, and he proclaimed loudly,
"In the name of the Lord of All Beings, I pronounce your death."
The Demon Sword Peach Blossom consumed Haotian as it devoured any life it encountered.
Haotian perished,
The Heavenly Dao collapsed.
This was not a confrontation but a grand ceremony for Fan Wubing’s ascendancy to kingship.
The True Dragon Will emerged anew, entering Fan Wubing’s brow.
At this moment,
He possessed everything of the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon,
He became, in the truest sense,
A dragon!
Fan Wubing tore open a great gate towards the entire world with his bare hands. Standing at the gateway, he declared in the name of the Lord of All Beings:
"Heaven is dead!"
