325: Chapter 325 Defeating Yan Xin and Seizing the Fate Rune of the Physical Body!

"The Physical Destiny Runes? Are you talking about..."

Empress Yan Xin was completely shocked. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked up at Lin Ran as if she had seen a ghost.

She hadn't known that the fortuitous Opportunity she spoke of was called the Physical Destiny Runes.

She only knew, based on the fragmented ancient books passed down by her Spirit Snake Clan ancestors, that the so-called Physical Destiny Runes could transform her snake tail into human legs, performing a transformation from spirit to immortal.

This immense Opportunity was a grand fortune, which was why they regarded it as a fortuitous Opportunity.

Now that Lin Ran had suddenly uttered the words "Physical Destiny Runes," she found it incredibly hard to believe.

"Not only that, but the Physical Destiny Runess This Holy Son possesses are only more numerous than yours!"

Lin Ran gave a sinister laugh, clenched his right fist, and threw a sudden punch.

Empress Yan Xin hurriedly defended herself, but she still found it difficult to resist this supreme and mighty power. She was sent flying backward again, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Black Snake Coils the Heavenly Pillar!"

Empress Yan Xin stood up, activated the Divine Power within her body, and unleashed her Origin Divine Ability.

A jade pillar rose abruptly from the ground, its body coiled by a lifelike black snake whose bloody maw opened wide, as if it could swallow all of creation.

Boom!

The black snake opened its mouth and swallowed the high sun formed by the Yang Origin in the sky, but it was also burned to ashes by the Pure Yang fire.

"Spiritual Tortoise Upholds the Heavens!"

Empress Yan Xin took a step forward, and a phantom of a spiritual tortoise appeared before her. Its four hooves stepped on the ground, as if it could prop up the sky.

The spiritual tortoise opened its mouth to spit out endless cold air and raised its two front hooves, crushing down toward Lin Ran.

"Twilight of the Gods!"

Lin Ran's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, a Divine Eye of Destiny condensed in the sky.

Wherever the gaze of the Divine Eye passed, the destinies of all living beings were revealed.

"This is..."

Looking at that Divine Eye in the firmament, Empress Yan Xin felt her heart and soul tremble, as if it were the eye of a supreme and majestic immortal god!

"Slash!"

Before Empress Yan Xin could recover from her shock, Lin Ran unleashed the second Origin Divine Ability of the Destiny Immortal Body. A Divine Sword of Destiny pierced through ten thousand miles of clouds and penetrated the Endless Void, as if descending from the Nine Heavens. Wherever the Sword Qi lingered, not a single blade of grass remained.

Pfft!

The Divine Sword of Destiny fell like a speeding meteor, shattering the spiritual tortoise phantom and severing a significant portion of the destiny carried by Empress Yan Xin.

Although destiny is ethereal and elusive, it is one of the most important things for a living being.

If a living being has no destiny, it cannot be called a living being.

Even every blade of grass and every tree is accompanied by destiny, showing its importance to all life.

Now that Empress Yan Xin's destiny had been slashed away by the Divine Sword of Destiny, the impact on her was massive. A dizzying sense of weakness swept through her entire body, leaving her frail and powerless.

"Destiny... Immortal Body?!"

Empress Yan Xin's steps were unsteady, and she was almost unable to stand.

After a long pause, she gradually recovered a little.

At this moment, the shock in her heart was like a raging wave, uncontrollable.

First, the top-tier immortal body—the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body—and then the most powerful of the nine Great Dao Immortal Bodies—the Destiny Immortal Body.

She simply couldn't imagine how a Prodigy like Lin Ran could exist in this world!

Even using the word "Prodigy" to describe Lin Ran felt like an insult to him!

At the same time, that Physical Destiny Runes uncontrollably rushed out of Empress Yan Xin's Physical Body, escaping her control.

Seeing this, Lin Ran was quick of eye and hand, catching the Physical Destiny Runes in his palm and refining it in an instant.

With this, the number of Physical Destiny Runess he possessed had reached four!

"This Physical Destiny Runes should be the fourth of the eight Physical Destiny Runess."

"Now that I already possess half of the eight Physical Destiny Runess, I only need the last four to let the legendary Physical Body Great Dao reappear in the world!"

Lin Ran laughed happily in his heart.

However, his ambition was grand. Merely gathering the eight Physical Destiny Runess to let the Physical Body Great Dao reappear would just be following the path of Heavenly Venerable Pan.

Since Heavenly Venerable Pan could create the Physical Body Great Dao and condense the Physical Destiny Runess, then he would go a step further in comprehending the eight Physical Destiny Runess to create a Physical Body Great Dao that belonged solely to him.

Just like his Only-Heart Sword Dao.

This was his own Dao, controlled only by himself!

"You... give my Physical Destiny Runes back to me!!"

Seeing her Physical Destiny Runes being taken by Lin Ran, Empress Yan Xin instantly became exasperated and shouted angrily.

"Give it back to you?"

A playful smile curled on Lin Ran's lips.

"Are you telling This Holy Son a joke? Once something is in the hands of This Holy Son, how can there be any reason to return it?"

"Empress Yan Xin, don't forget, you and I are currently enemies. This Holy Son has even less reason to return it to you."

Empress Yan Xin was left speechless, silenced in an instant.

It was true; she and Lin Ran were enemies. How could Lin Ran return the Physical Destiny Runes to her just because of a single sentence?

This thought was far too naive.

But she was unwilling!

Now, she had used the method recorded in the ancient books, utilizing the Physical Destiny Runes to transform her snake tail into a human one, opening a door from spirit to immortal.

It could be said that this Physical Destiny Runes was the most crucial treasure for the rise of her Spirit Snake Clan. She truly could not bear to have it taken away by Lin Ran like this!

"Empress Yan Xin, even when you had fused with the Physical Destiny Runes, you were no match for This Holy Son."

"Now that you don't have the Physical Destiny Runes, you are even less of a match for This Holy Son."

"Do you want to continue fighting until you die, or do you plan to submit to This Holy Son?"

Lin Ran spoke in a teasing tone.

"Impossible! This Empress... This Empress will never submit to you humans!!"

Upon hearing Lin Ran ask her to submit, Empress Yan Xin instantly bristled and shouted in rage.

She harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Human Race and would never submit to Lin Ran!

"Empress Yan Xin, I think... do you have some kind of misunderstanding about my Human Race?"

Lin Ran frowned and said.

"Misunderstanding? Heh! If This Empress had a misunderstanding about your Human Race, why would you humans invade my territory?!"

"If This Empress had a misunderstanding about your Human Race, why would you snatch away my Physical Destiny Runes?!"

"Do you know how long This Empress has waited for this day?!"

"By taking the Physical Destiny Runes, you have taken away the hope of my clan!"

"How else do you want This Empress to 'misunderstand' you?!"

Empress Yan Xin's tone grew more and more agitated, her delicate body trembling incessantly.

By the end, she actually began to wail uncontrollably, as if she had suffered a monumental grievance.

"This... You... Empress Yan Xin, you are the Empress of a clan; what does it look like to be crying like this in public?"

Seeing Empress Yan Xin wailing without regard for her image, Lin Ran was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
