Chapter 116 The Power of Destiny
Dai Youheng spoke very quickly, but every word was clear, trying to explain the most crucial difference in the shortest amount of time: the world of difference between stripping and connecting.
He stripped away a small portion of the auspicious beast's power of destiny, rather than connecting with her spiritually and then acquiring her power through a destiny-linking connection.
The three golden eyes flashed rapidly in their vertical pupils, as if analyzing the truthfulness of Dai Youheng's words.
She remained suspicious, but Xue Di's guarantee and the other party's proposed "causal" method prevented her from reacting immediately.
"Humans, all you talk is sweet talk. Even if what you say is true, why should I give up my precious power of destiny?"
"What can you give me?" Her voice was still cold, but it had changed from an absolute refusal to a tentative inquiry.
Dai Youheng knew that the most crucial moment had arrived. He said no more, and with a flick of his wrist, a soft light containing endless life energy shone in his palm.
A pill, not perfectly round but resembling a flawless, exquisitely crafted snowflake, appeared.
The surface of the pill seemed to have naturally formed ice and snow patterns, and even more strangely, it seemed to be pulsating slightly, like a miniature, living heart.
An indescribable surge of vitality and a holy aura that purified all filth instantly spread out, calming the surrounding raging fire elements somewhat.
"This pill is called the Snow Maiden Sacred Heart Pill." Dai Youheng's voice was filled with solemnity. "It cannot increase cultivation level, nor can it enhance combat power. It has only one effect: no matter how severe the injury, even if one dies from a shattered heart, as long as the soul has not completely dissipated, taking this pill can lock in the life force, and then restore one to their original state, a resurrection, equivalent to gaining a second life!"
The Snow Empress's voice rang out at the opportune moment, serving as the most compelling proof: "Auspicious Beast, this pill was forged by combining my primordial power with the life energy of a 100,000-year-old snow lotus, refined through your unique martial soul. Its crafting was extremely difficult, and its value is immeasurable. You should understand what it means to a soul beast that needs to undergo heavenly tribulation."
The three-eyed golden-faced woman's gaze was instantly drawn to the pill! Her Eye of Destiny even began to flicker uncontrollably, instinctively telling her what kind of heaven-defying power of creation this pill contained!
As an auspicious beast, she understood the terror of heavenly tribulations better than any other soul beast! She had witnessed the solemnity of Uncle Di Tian's thoughts every time he faced a tribulation. And such a pill was practically an unparalleled cheat code to combat heavenly tribulations! Just as Dai Youheng had predicted, she almost instantly realized the possibility of "faking death to deceive the tribulation"!
For example, when a 200,000-year-old soul beast undergoes its tribulation, even if it fails, once the tribulation clouds dissipate, another soul beast can immediately give it this pill to revive it, and the tribulation will not descend again. Wouldn't that allow it to get through one tribulation?
Even the future Heavenly Tribulation of 900,000 years, or even the Divine Tribulation of a million years.
Of course, it's only feasible to get through a 900,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. In reality, it's completely impossible to get through a million-year Divine Tribulation. The Sacred Heart Pill is ineffective against God-level experts, so it can't fool the Divine Tribulation either. If you want to become a god by relying on the Sacred Heart Pill, you're just dreaming.
A tremendous temptation overwhelmed the rationality of the three-eyed golden-faced man. On one hand, he could give up a small amount of power that wouldn't entangle him with fate; on the other hand, he could obtain a trump card that could turn the tide of life and death at a crucial moment. This deal seemed quite worthwhile!
The hostility and wariness in her eyes finally melted away like ice and snow, replaced by an extreme excitement and caution. She remained silent for a moment, her crimson-gold eyes fixed on Dai Youheng, as if to confirm his sincerity one last time.
Finally, she spoke slowly, her voice still carrying the pride of an emperor, but devoid of any murderous intent, "Human—Dai Youheng. If what you say is true, the transaction process was indeed as you described, and this elixir truly has such miraculous effects, then I can grant your request."
Dai Youheng breathed a sigh of relief and a sincere smile appeared on his face. "A wise choice. So, please relax your guard. We will use the power of destiny to generate the elixir in return. Money and goods are exchanged, and neither party will deceive the other."
He took a few steps forward, while Lingya stood guard vigilantly behind him, spreading his mental energy to the maximum extent to guard against any possible interference.
Dai Youheng activated the "Golden罡 Exorcising Body," and a faint, ancient, and domineering demonic power emanated from it. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also closed its eyes, but the Eye of Destiny on its forehead shone brightly. A wisp of golden thread, so fine it was almost invisible, yet containing profound truths, slowly floated out and gently touched the exorcising demonic power that Dai Youheng had gathered in his hand.
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a ripple that seemed to gently stir the rules of the universe. The next moment, a small section of the golden thread seemed to be "bitten" off by Dai Youheng's demonic power and instantly merged into his body. At the same time, Dai Youheng gently tossed the Snow Maiden Sacred Heart Pill in his hand to the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Demon.
Transaction complete!
Youheng immediately felt a sense of clarity surge into the depths of his soul, as if the world before him had gained an invisible perspective, giving him a vague premonition and guidance about the future.
The moment the power of destiny entered his body, a vision immediately appeared before Dai Youheng's eyes—a premonition of the future.
"This scene... indeed, my premonition was right. Becoming the ruler of this world is my path to godhood, but..."
'
"What's wrong, Youheng?" Xue Di asked.
"It's nothing. Maybe my previous premonition was correct, but it went a bit astray. I had a premonition that I would become an emperor and then become a god on my own, but after obtaining the power of destiny, I saw that becoming an emperor seemed to be completing some kind of task to become a god. Because the power of destiny conflicted with my own premonition, it was a bit strange for a while," Dai Youheng said.
Upon hearing this, Xue Di comforted her, "I see. It's just a premonition, and it's normal for it to differ from the actual fate."
Dai Youheng nodded, no longer dwelling on it.
Actually, both he and Xue Di were wrong. Dai Youheng's own premonition and the scene depicted by the power of fate did not actually conflict. The paradox arose simply because...
At this moment, the three-eyed golden-faced creature carefully enveloped the pill with a ball of golden light, sensing the immense vitality within it, and its eyes revealed an uncontrollable joy.
With the transaction completed, the tense atmosphere between Dai Youheng and the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man vanished completely.
The auspicious beast curiously sensed itself and confirmed that the wisp of destiny power had indeed been gently "trimmed" away slightly, without damaging its core, and there was no sense of stagnation in its connection to destiny. The boundless vitality emanating from the Sacred Heart Pill in its claws was also undeniable.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Dai Youheng had lost some of its wild ferocity and gained more of a lively, inquisitive gaze.
However, the tranquility of this forest did not last long.
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, as if a thousand troops were galloping. A violent, scorching, and terrifying pressure full of destructive aura approached from afar at an astonishing speed!
"roar-!!!"
A deafening roar tore through the sky, and with it, an enormous figure, wreathed in dark red flames, charged into the forest.
It was over five meters long and had an extremely ferocious appearance, with three identical, terrifying giant heads! Each head was like a burning meteorite, with its gaping maw and crimson-gold canine teeth gleaming with a light that could tear everything apart.
Its entire body was covered in dark red scales, and magma seemed to flow through the gaps in the scales! It was none other than the eighth-ranked of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, the Crimson King!
The Crimson King's six scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Dai Youheng, who was extremely close to the auspicious beast, and Ling Ya, who was not far away and exuding the aura of a Title Douluo, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Without even needing to think, it instantly reached the same conclusion as the auspicious beast, and with irrefutable evidence: this human wanted to hunt the soul beast.
"Human! How dare you harm the Emperor Beast!" The middle head of the Crimson King roared with earth-shattering fury, and the other two heads roared at the same time. Three scorching breaths had already gathered in their throats, and the terrifying pressure made Ling Ya, the newly promoted Title Douluo, turn pale. Even his Martial Soul True Body was almost directly forced back into his body.
He exerted all his strength to activate his soul power, and the aura of extreme ice struggled to resist the overwhelming ferocity, but everyone could see that he had no chance of blocking the Crimson King's attack in his rage!
Dai Youheng couldn't help but complain, why is the Crimson King's opening line the same in every world?
