82: Root Ball Explodes! Event Ends

[Breakdown Value +50]

At this moment!

Haotian Immortal Emperor suddenly felt an immense, unseen crisis!

That crisis seemed both present and absent.

As if it were just an illusion, yet also as if it had already permeated the entire world!

‘What!?’

Haotian Immortal Emperor's face broke out in layers of cold sweat from shock. He stared at the blue-haired pretty boy whose soul memories he was reading with the "Soul Reading Technique", and a ridiculous thought suddenly sprang up in his heart.

‘Could it be that this Lan Ao also possesses Destiny!?’

Having reached his level, he had naturally heard many rumors related to "Destiny".

According to legend, in every era, one or several "Children of Heaven" would be born. These individuals possessed Destiny and had heaven-defying cultivation speeds and opportunities that ordinary people could not comprehend.

They were subtly protected by the so-called "Heaven", and anyone who attacked them would suffer retribution.

Haotian Immortal Emperor had always thought these were just rumors.

Until twenty years ago, when he gave birth to his first son – compared to his heaven-defying son, he, who had previously prided himself as a "Super Prodigy", wasn't even fit to carry his son's shoes.

Until one time he nearly accidentally injured his son – at that moment, he also felt this kind of crisis.

Since then, Haotian Immortal Emperor began to believe in the legend of the "Child of Destiny".

In recent years, he had also discovered some individuals suspected of being Children of Destiny.

For example, the innate Immortal from the head of the Five Sects, the "Immortal Source Sect"; for example, in the North Sea polar region, the direct descendant of the former strongest expert of the Primordial Era; for example, the Golden Dragon Holy Son who had recently risen to fame, advancing several major realms in just a few days...

But he never expected!

This young man before him, who had played a good hand so poorly, could actually also be a "Child of Destiny"?

Under this immense, unseen crisis he sensed.

Haotian Immortal Emperor calmed down.

He proactively stopped probing Lan Ao's soul and tried to dispel his hostility towards him from the bottom of his heart.

He then miraculously felt –

That unseen crisis had actually disappeared at the same time!

‘He is truly protected by Heaven!’

Haotian Immortal Emperor's eyes widened, confirming it in his heart without a doubt!

If he hadn't reached his level, he probably wouldn't even have noticed that kind of crisis.

‘It seems, then, that the setbacks he is currently experiencing are all tribulations. Once he overcomes them, he will be reborn like a phoenix from the ashes!’

Thinking of this.

Haotian Immortal Emperor's gaze gradually sharpened.

So... I became the whetstone for the Child of Destiny?

“Hmph!”

He suddenly grabbed Lan Ao's collar and activated the Soul Reading Technique on him again!

“Ah——!!”

When Lan Ao once again let out a terrified scream, and eerie blue light emanated from his eyes, mouth, and ears!

When the invisible crisis, even more terrifying than before, pressed towards Haotian Immortal Emperor like a tide!

Facing the shocked and stunned gazes of the surrounding medical cultivators.

He roared coldly, “If Destiny is favorable to me, then I will believe in Destiny! But if Destiny is unfavorable to me, then I will believe that man can conquer heaven!!”

Man can conquer heaven!?

The medical cultivators looked at each other in dismay.

What is Lord Immortal Emperor doing? Why is he suddenly talking to himself?

The memory scene of Lan Ao learning "Surprise Ghost Hundred Needles" was displayed in the air, allowing Haotian Immortal Emperor to read the memories.

During this process.

The breakdown value notification in front of Lin Sheng popped up repeatedly seven times.

[Breakdown Value +10]

[Breakdown Value +10]

......

[Breakdown Value +10]

Not long after.

When Lan Ao, whose soul was forcibly read, rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and slumped to the ground.

Haotian Immortal Emperor then, like someone who had defeated a "formidable enemy", tilted his head back and laughed heartily: “Hahaha, so this Heaven is just outwardly strong but inwardly weak, possessing only empty might.”

“I won!”

“Regardless of the myriad tribulations behind it, at least for now, I can still do as I please! Hahahaha.”

Although he sensed that his aura had been locked onto by the so-called "Heaven", and he would likely face setbacks in everything from now on...

Although he discovered that his immense luck had begun to weaken and dim...

But Haotian Immortal Emperor could no longer turn back!

After obtaining the complete "Surprise Ghost Hundred Needles", he already knew how to save his daughter.

[Breakdown Value +100]

He extended his hand and gently hooked Lan Ao's chest. Lan Ao's extremely precious Giant Kun heart blood was easily hooked out by him.

[Breakdown Value +20]

Holding this drop of blood, he fiercely flicked his sleeve, resolutely turned, and flashed away.

Leaving behind only a defiant remark that echoed in everyone's ears.

“Everyone, feel free to take revenge on him. As long as he still has one breath left, nothing else matters.”

After Haotian Immortal Emperor left.

The medical cultivators savored this sentence, and their gazes fixed on Lan Ao gradually changed.

“Since Lord Immortal Emperor has said so, it wouldn't be good for us to do nothing.”

“Those of you who were splashed by him, what do you say we do?”

“I have only one request... blow up his little brother!”

“Damn it, count me in!”

“Agreed!!”

“Then I'll go first! Secret Art! Root Ball Explosion!!”

Bang!!

Like a balloon being detonated, a small mist of blood spread upwards from Lan Ao's crotch.

[Breakdown Value +200!]

“Hoo...”

In the crowd, Shen Liang let out a long sigh of relief: “Is that all? And he wanted to wipe out my entire Shen family? Hehehe.”

...

[Ding!]

[Event "Immortal Court Princess Falls Ill, Lan Ao Becomes the Only Solution" has ended!]

[Summary of this Event: You successfully disrupted Lan Ao's fate of connecting with the Immortal Court by rescuing Emperor Consort Chengyang, and caused him to form conflicts with Haotian Immortal Emperor and numerous medical cultivators. You successfully caused Lan Ao to lose his root, deplete his entire primordial yang and become an eunuch. Even if he recovers in the future, it will no longer be his original root. His luck has been greatly weakened.]

[Successfully seized Main Character's opportunity: The life-saving grace from Emperor Consort Chengyang.]

[Performance Reward: Breakdown Value +160!]

On Tianyun Mountain.

Seeing the light screen disappear before him, Lin Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.

“I didn't expect it to turn into such a situation.”

At that time, all he chose to do was take a piss. Who would have thought Lan Ao had held it in so much in prison that one shot sprayed so far.

Becoming an eunuch now was truly beyond his expectation.

“However...”

Thinking that the act of "root explosion" actually netted him 200 breakdown value at once, Lin Sheng felt a little tempted.

200 for one person, wouldn't that be 1800 for nine Heavenly Mandated Protagonists?

If he got all of them... tsk tsk tsk.

He opened the system interface and looked at his current breakdown value: 920!

“Not bad, not bad.”

“There weren't actually many choices this time. The reason for such a high gain was mainly thanks to the multiple-choice question and the act of exploding the root.”

“It's just... how did this life-saving grace end up on me?”

Could it be that even Haotian Immortal Emperor, who possessed the "Surprise Ghost Hundred Needles" and "Giant Kun heart blood", failed?

Which is why he was forced to come find him, who had used two Demon God Orders, to try his luck?

Lin Sheng could only think of this explanation.

Honestly, if he, who now controlled all seven tokens, were to take action, he could even pull Emperor Consort Chengyang back from death.

He didn't think about it anymore.

Looking at the 920 on the system interface, Lin Sheng grinned, revealing a bright and sunny smile.

“It's time to continue breaking through!”
