Chapter 709: Nine Lives True Immortal, Divine Phoenix

“End of the Spirit Law era cultivator, ‘Divine Fate!’”

“The fifth True Immortal of the human race, the Master of Explanation, the Suffering Crossing God, Nine Lives True Immortal, marks the end of the Spirit Law era.”

“Divine Fate is the son of the Abyss Emperor, born invincible, capable of controlling fate, interfering with luck, and determining causality, with astonishing talent that shocks the world.”

“But few know that before Divine Fate fully matured, a king of the demon-kind attacked, stealing ninety percent of Divine Fate’s innate Dao fruit, causing him to fall from grace, struggling for a thousand years without achieving his true fruit.”

The young Nine Lives True Immortal was indeed extraordinary, a majestic figure surrounded by nine great destinies. Handsome and elegant, as the son of the Royal Path, he traveled the world and garnered much attention, living quite freely without the intent to cultivate deliberately.

Even so, the presence of his nine great destinies meant that Divine Fate’s cultivation level surged constantly. One of those destinies, supreme cultivation, would lead him to that future gradually, even without his active efforts, representing a fated destiny.

With a total of nine great destinies, he seemed impenetrable, destined to become a Monarch.

This talent was terrifying, prompting envy; the demon-kind king sought to steal this fate for himself, hoping to ascend to the supreme realm.

Having faced little challenge and no cultivation, Divine Fate was defeated under absolute power, placed on an altar, and had his eight great destinies stripped away.

When the king attempted to take the ninth destiny, he realized that tearing away the last destiny would cause the medium maintaining its existence to vanish, rendering the eight destinies meaningless. He had to preserve Divine Fate’s final destiny.

This last destiny was known as ‘Explanation.’

Thus, upon awakening, Divine Fate returned to the Celestial Empire, filled with anger and armed with his final destiny, and began to eagerly study various Law techniques.

After this matter, he realized that even though he was the son of a Monarch, lacking power was unacceptable; his father could not protect him for a lifetime!

Losing eight great destinies and much of his foundation had a profound impact on Divine Fate. Even with the Abyss Emperor repairing his foundation, it couldn’t fully be restored.

This made Nine Lives’ path to cultivation exceptionally tough, almost impossible to move a step further, especially since the Abyss Emperor did not continue to support him.

This was a trial; he had to ascend to the peak on his own, proving his path to become a Monarch. How could his offspring, with unmatched talent, fail due to his own negligence?

The consequences must be borne by Divine Fate himself!

If he couldn’t overcome this, he might as well die like an ordinary person.

A Monarch is the greatest protection as well as the strongest curse.

In an era when Monarchs exist, who can reach the top?

Even the son of a Monarch could not achieve it; there has never been a precedent in history, which is why Divine Fate, with unparalleled talent, ultimately gave up on cultivating and allowed his strength to grow naturally under the impulse of his destinies.

There was no need.

He should live, he should enjoy himself; in the end, the Abyss Emperor would see him off. How could he compare his lifespan to that of an indomitable Monarch?

“With his setbacks and the loss of eight great destinies, Divine Fate harbored a strong desire for revenge; he would personally seek out the demon-kind king for punishment and destruction! Thus, after a thousand years of merging myriad techniques, Divine Fate overcame countless obstacles and finally created the peak Causation Law!”

“His legend began here; born invincible, he controlled fate, interfered with luck, determined causality, gradually reclaiming the eight great destinies!”

“Ultimately, he became a True Immortal, known as the Master of Explanation, the Suffering Crossing God, Nine Lives True Immortal!”

Someone recited praises as if chanting.

In front of Tiankai, a handsome young man with white hair stepped forward. His eyes had nine overlapping rings, and behind him was the outline of a circular wheel, showcasing the nine great fruits.

Among them, only one great fruit held a destiny, which was the Explanation fruit that elucidated all truths in the world.

This was a Nine Lives True Immortal who had his Dao fruit stripped away, falling to the Mortal Realm, yet he rebuilt himself to reach the spiritual realm. During this period, he only possessed the Explanation destiny, with a talent level at the seventh tier, regarded as peerless within the Red Heaven realm, but still far from true peak status.

He appeared on the seventh-tier Heavenly Path, and suddenly, Tiankai’s aura dropped, falling to the spiritual realm, her power plummeting, making it impossible for her to use Cave Techniques anymore.

Even the newly acquired rules of slaughter were suppressed; this was the power Tiankai gained in the law realms, which did not belong to the spiritual realm.

“I am Divine Fate!”

The Nine Lives True Immortal uttered a phrase that Yun Ye found quite familiar; he often used this phrase to mock those who followed the ruling Dao in the past.

Alright, the rightful owner of Divine Fate has arrived!

It was a classic tale of a genius falling and then rising again!

The eight great destinies stripped from him later scattered; the king of the magical creatures faced resistance, and several kings and Honored Beings each seized one great destiny. Some disappeared completely due to reasons involving the Abyss Emperor, hiding from view and significantly increasing the difficulty of reclaiming them.

The ensuing story was a classic retelling: Divine Fate seemed to embark on a journey akin to the Journey to the West, constantly exploring and growing, reclaiming his eight great destinies.

The last supreme destiny was reclaimed from the Abyss Emperor, and in his father’s laughter, Divine Fate ascended to the throne, achieving True Immortal status with the Heavenly Crown Artifact.

“Nine Lives True Immortal, a True Immortal who masters the possibility, but during his time in the spiritual realm, he was at his lowest point, far from unbeatable!”

“The Explanation destiny is not a power for battle!”

Tiankai struck, and the phantom of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox reappeared. All her power merged into one, bursting forth in a brilliant attack that would determine the outcome!

With the Explanation destiny, Divine Fate could decipher all mysteries and use a thousand years to deduce his path, allowing the Causation Law to reach Major Achievement.

He activated the Nine Lives Spirit Law, forcibly trying to alter the future of Tiankai’s attack.

But unfortunately, the disparity in power was too great; the alteration failed.

This strike covered a range far beyond limits, sinking a hundred-mile stretch of land instantly, nothing like the power usable in the spiritual realm.

The law he derived was too powerful, its essence very high. Although the Nine Lives Spirit Law could determine future possibilities, it would consume energy based on difficulty. Divine Fate was merely in the spiritual realm, his power insufficient to support the alteration of this strike.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, Divine Fate was overwhelmingly powerful, but Tiankai was the reincarnation of the Celestial Fox king!

The king was already the brightest star of the magical creatures, and Tiankai, possessing the bloodlines of both the Royal Path and the World God, was reborn as a human. She had immense wonders even in the spiritual realm, and the complex Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox phantom pushed Divine Fate to the point of bleeding from his seven orifices, utterly powerless to reverse the outcome.

In the end, he was reduced to ashes from this strike.

“Easily passing the seventh-tier Heavenly Path!”

“Nine Lives True Immortal had no power to fight back; clearly, he had been devoted to forging his own path, constantly researching and cultivating, remolding his spiritual realm countless times…”

“Useless, the foundation gap was too vast. Although Nine Lives represented the peak era of Spirit Law, his own strength had been severed by ninety-nine percent. Only by gathering the nine great destinies could he represent the peak era and its ultimate glory!”

Many Powers in the Red Heaven realm increasingly felt Tiankai’s strength.

At the seventh tier, she was nearing the zenith of an era.

The eighth tier generally indicated qualifications strong enough to become a Monarch.

And the ninth tier almost represented the peak qualifications in human history, capable of practicing Cave Techniques to open dimensions.

Finally, the tenth tier was genuinely the strongest in the history of Red Heaven, where everyone would face only two opponents, with no options available.

“Who will Tiankai face?”

“The future Path Lord? Or perhaps… the True Immortal of Colorful Glow?”

“Defeating the unbeatable elders of his youth, the human race’s fortune will be cut off; all impossibilities will turn into possibilities. I have no time left!”

An unparalleled supreme whispered as Black Flames ignited the sky, burning through all dimensions he occupied.

Within the dark flames, a pair of blood-red eyes opened.

This was a black phoenix with elegant feathers and a perfect posture, its body vast enough to obscure the sky and sun, marked with traces of lightning and fire.

Wherever it appeared, divine sounds echoed, heavenly thunder froze in the void, and a myriad of phenomena unfolded. It seemed that thousands of magical creatures howled in despair, accepting the baptism of heavenly tribulation.

It was indeed the only known divine bloodline of the magical creatures, the Divine Phoenix!
