757: Chapter 757 Judgment of Destiny

[On the hilltop, watching her disheveled appearance, the corners of your lips curve upward slightly.]

[This is the exact timing you have been waiting for.]

[As long as Tu Kongming makes a move, you will have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and deal him a fatal blow.]

[Spotting the opportunity, you decisively raise your foot and step forward.]

[At the same time,]

[In the starry sky hundreds of millions of miles away, Tu Kongming's hand slowly lifts.]

[The moment he raises his hand, you already appear behind him.]

[Tu Kongming and Cai Xingchen both feel a chill down their backs, pause in unison, and hurriedly turn around.]

[Just now, they completely failed to detect you; even if they had seen you, they would have merely regarded you as a minor character from the Tianyin Sect.]

[With a thought from your mind, the xuantian treasure mirror accelerates a ten-thousand-fold.]

[Time in your eyes slows down as if frozen; Tu Kongming's raised hand hangs in mid-air, his eyes wide open, almost completely motionless.]

["Tianming Judgment."]

[Before the words even fade, the power of Karma surges out from the Void Realm like invisible threads, instantly entangling Tu Kongming.]

[Condemning with Karma, executing with destiny.]

[Having slaughtered hundreds of billions, however heavy his Karmic Obstruction is, the damage of this move is equally heavy.]

[Before he even has time to figure it out, his body completely dissipates, turning into nothingness.]

[Watching Tu Kongming dissipate from a single blow, your heart tightens slightly—this Great Dao Divine Ability is truly absurd.]

[If he had struck first... No, with the xuantian treasure mirror, he stands no chance of striking first.]

[Cai Xingchen's eyelids twitch wildly, and he hurriedly retreats ten thousand miles, raising his hand to make a grasping motion in the void—]

[In the distance, a Star Continent is grasped by an intangible giant palm, infused with the Power of the Great Dao, and hurtles toward you along a trajectory of absolute destruction.]

[With a flash of your thought, the chaos cloak instantly unfolds, and the Xuanhuang Energy transforms into a hundred-zhang giant sphere, wrapping you in the center.]

[That star crashes against the Xuanhuang curtain, producing muffled, thunderous roars.]

[Immediately following, cracks spread from the point of impact, and the entire star explodes, shattering into countless fragments, annihilated by the Xuanhuang Energy and finally turning into a patch of nothingness.]

[You strike once more as the Spotless Sword Body within your body emits a hum, letting out a low shout:]

["Big Dipper Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation."]

[In an instant, seven swords stand in seven directions, and seven ten-thousand-zhang sword beams descend, enveloping the starry sky across hundreds of millions of miles.]

[Endless sword light rains down.]

[At the same time, ten thousand miles away, Tu Kongming re-condenses, his face pale and his aura dropping by fifty percent.]

[You notice that the Karmic Obstruction on him is gone, and his Evil Qi is also gone, completely clean.]

[Hundreds of billions of killing Karma have been thoroughly settled by a single Tianming Judgment.]

[At the same time, you also experience the terror of "Tianming Judgment."]

[You originally thought it might be a fierce battle.]

[You didn't expect his killing Karma to be so heavy.]

[In fact, several hundred billion units of killing Karma really count for nothing to a Mahayana practitioner.]

[When two Mahayana experts fight, the aftermath sweeping across a Star Continent wipes out everyone on it; that is how Karmic Obstruction comes to be.]

[Tu Kongming's heart is filled with shock and rage—he is far too familiar with Tianming Judgment.]

[That is the method of Venerable Tianming. Having associated with Venerable Tianming for a millennium, he never expected that one day he would suffer such a blow.]

[He has always disregarded Karma because Venerable Tianming would never use this move against him—they share a common dream.]

[Besides, to clear away hundreds of billions of Karmic Obstructions takes a considerable amount of effort, consuming time, energy, and mental focus.]

[He also never expected that you, a fellow popping out of nowhere, would actually know this move as well.]

[Even more unexpectedly, you, a Late Stage Mahayana practitioner, actually resort to a sneak attack.]

[His face turns livid as he glares fiercely at you, his throat cracking in a shriek: "Bastard! You ambushed this old man!"]

[Roaring out this sentence, he grits his teeth as his Dao origin begins to burn, triggering his Great Dao Divine Ability.]

["Reincarnation Annihilation."]

[The moment you sense this terrifying power, it is already inside your body.]

[Flipping outward from the bone marrow and shrinking inward from the Divine Soul, it feels as though something is tearing away the part that should rightfully belong to you, making you feel as though you are being erased layer by layer.]

[It is not pain; it is that you are about to vanish.]

[Every trace of your current existence is being sucked away by that power.]

[As this power passes through your body, your figure dissipates a step ahead.]

[At the very last instant before dissipation, you activate the sword formation, pressing countless rays of sword light down toward him.]

[The sword light pierces his body, and his outline begins to fade.]

[Every single sword strike is shrouded in the Power of the Great Dao, resembling an open-mouthed maw devouring his Dao origin bite by bite.]

[His pupils violently contract: "The sword formation hasn't broken? How is that possible?"]

[In his understanding, aside from Great Dao Divine Abilities, any other methods should naturally dissipate the moment the caster dies once.]

[His original plan was—after defeating you, to wait for the sword formation to disperse and then turn and flee.]

[Yet the sword formation unexpectedly refuses to disperse.]

[Watching the endless sword light chase after him, one beam after another piercing his body as his Dao origin is slashed, dissipated, disintegrated, and annihilated, he suddenly shivers.]

[It is the fear of death.]

[This kind of fear is something he hasn't experienced in a very long time.]

[Ever since stepping into the Mahayana Realm, he can no longer remember when the last time he felt afraid was.]

[The days after reaching Mahayana have been far too peaceful, peaceful to the point that he forgot how this cultivation base of his was acquired.]

[Some images flash across his mind.]

[Those images he thought he had forgotten surface frame by frame—filled with regret, remorse, and unwillingness.]

["Why..."]

["Why..."]

[His voice squeezes out from his throat, trembling.]

[As the final syllable falls, his body completely dissipates.]

["No—!"]

[Only a roar of unwillingness from him remains in the starry sky.]

[At the same time,]

[At the edge of the sword formation, Cai Xingchen's figure flashes repeatedly—dodging left, dodging right, retreating, moving laterally, every step flickering like starlight.]

[He attempts to shake off that overwhelming sea of sword light.]

[However, it is useless.]

[Once the sword formation is formed, the locked target is like being tethered by an invisible thread; no matter how they flee, the sword light will strike them.]

["No... No!"]

[His pupils dilate sharply, wanting to take one final step, but his palms have already begun to blur.]

[Then comes his wrists, arms, and chest, rapidly decomposing and dissipating inch by inch.]

[He wants to clench his fists, but there are no fingers left in his palms.]

[Upon hearing Tu Kongming's desperate cry, his heart sinks heavily.]

[Before he can think much more, his body has already completely dissipated.]

[On the other side,]

[Your figure re-condenses, and your Dao origin drops by thirty percent.]

[Your expression sinks—he traded his Dao origin for sheer power, hurting the enemy by eight hundred while damaging himself by a thousand; he is simply mad.]

[Logically speaking, under the condition of being in the same Realm, a Great Dao Divine Ability should at most injure you by ten to twenty percent.]

[Could it be that he thought he could break open the sword formation and escape, and thus furiously burned his Dao origin just to wound you?]

[In fact, even if he didn't burn his Dao origin, fifty percent of his Dao origin wouldn't last a few strikes anyway.]

[Between dying early and dying late, he unexpectedly chooses to die early.]

[You are well aware of this method of burning Dao origin to execute a Great Dao Divine Ability—its power can roughly double, but at most it consumes ten percent of one's Dao origin.]

[You originally estimated it would take three moves to completely kill him, but you didn't expect two moves to be enough.]

[Tianming Judgment is truly absurd—however heavy the Karmic Obstruction is, the backlash is equally deep.]

[You originally thought it would at most strip away thirty percent of him.]

[The result is far beyond that.]

[It seems different Great Dao Divine Abilities have different effects.]
