Chapter 1766: Chapter 1764: Controlling Destiny

Upon a mountain, Peter Brown had been sitting cross-legged for a long time.

With eyes spinning between Yin and Yang, Peter’s gaze became deeper and more distant.

Luck!

Destiny!

Suddenly, Peter had all sorts of realizations.

Suddenly, Peter’s entire body shuddered, and an idea surged into his mind.

"Explode!"

Peter yelled loudly, then spurred energy to bombard outwards from below his navel as its center.

Then, his whole body began to burst open bit by bit.

Boom...

His entire body completely transformed into a Thunder Field.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Amidst two screams of agony, following the explosion, two souls rushed out from Peter’s body.

Shatter!

Peter’s eyes followed those two souls.

With the flicker of his gaze, those two souls were already confined by Peter in midair.

At that moment, the entire scene underwent a massive change, and Peter seemed to awaken in a field of illusions, where everything around became so clear.

"My fate is in my hands, not dictated by heaven, and no one can alter my destiny!"

Peter then stood up.

"I didn’t expect you to have such realization!"

It was clearly Madison Burton’s voice coming from one of the souls.

Speaking of which, he looked toward the other soul and said, "Ethan Grey, I didn’t expect the person you found to have such a powerful understanding and such great determination, alas!"

Ethan Grey then also gave a bitter smile and said, "How did you find out?"

"Nothing much to discover, I just think that the development of my journey has always been chaotic and short, purely man-made manipulations. Logically, upon entering an area, I should have a long-term experience, but my development was too fast. Moreover, this time my destiny has been altered—Heavenly Will is not that idle!"

Ethan Grey sighed and said, "If you leave us, you’ll have to face the real Holy Contenders by yourself. You have to know that there are not just one or two Holy Contenders; there are many, and we have a lot of experience after all."

"I’ve said it before, I control my own fate, not Heaven, and certainly not to be manipulated by you again. You’re just using me to forge ahead, while you hide behind the scenes, ready to eliminate not only your enemies but also me when the time comes. Now, you can die."

Having said that, Peter didn’t give the two souls any chance to speak. Under the surge of his energy, the two souls were being eroded away by his great power.

Huge amounts of energy surged out from the souls and then flowed into Peter’s body.

At that moment, with his Yin Yang eyes, Peter seemed to see the entire universe laid bare before him.

Watching as the two souls that had always influenced his development completely vanished, never to appear again, Peter stood there silently for a long while.

So many things had happened, but, quite clearly, all the benefits had been reaped by those two souls.

Now, as the two souls perished, the kindness energy and faith energy they had snatched from Peter were returning at an astonishing rate.

In an instant, Peter distinctly felt his body brimming with both types of energy. Not only did these energies enter his body, but a will representing destiny also arose within him.

This must be what the two souls cared about the most!

Peter didn’t know what the two souls were truly thinking, but after the arrival of two special energies, he began to experience various enlightenments. These must be what’s truly needed for the Saint Competition.

The energy of destiny was clearly a comprehensive energy, created by the fusion of kindness energy, faith energy, and the chaotic energy gained from cultivation. Only with it could one say that their fate was truly in their own hands.

Ethan Grey and the others were clearly using the energy of destiny to throw themselves into one field after another to create energy, thereby gaining a huge harvest in the end.

Now, Peter also began to understand why they altered the fate of his woman—it was nothing more than to drive him mad, pushing him to recklessly enter the universe, leave Earth, and engage in chaos, ultimately triggering the final battle over luck.

After taking another serious look inside his body, Peter fully understood the situation. Indeed, Peter found his body contained even more energy of destiny. Naturally, this energy was created by himself; if he didn’t die, he couldn’t release this energy. Another of their goals was to drive him mad to fully unleash his potential, and thus to achieve their purpose of destroying him. Only by destroying himself could this energy be stimulated again.

In fact, everything from the Saint Competition pathway, to returning to Earth, to no longer being an illusion—all of it was still false. He was still within their illusion. Only after his body exploded could this great power tear everything apart and coerce their souls out.

Now, thankfully, Peter was confident that his energy had completely forced the two souls out, and there would no longer be anything inside his body to interfere with him.

The energy of the two souls infused into Peter’s body, and his previously blasted-open body was now recovering rapidly.

Indeed, it was the land of illusion; otherwise, he would really have died!

At this time, a smile appeared on Peter’s lips. Souls are illusions, and when he entered the land of illusion, they entered as well. They had always existed as illusions, and if he had been in the realm of reality, they would have found it difficult to exist for long. They could only be forced out by exploding his body in the land of illusion.

Well hidden!

Peter would no longer believe the various stories they concocted. Since gaining some enlightenment, Peter no longer wished to be manipulated by them.

It was fortunate that these two souls were still powerful, maybe even the kind nearest to the Saint level. After their death, they left behind too much energy of destiny for Peter, so much so that Peter himself didn’t know to what extent he had upgraded.

Now, after eradicating their souls, Peter had absorbed some of their consciousness.

From the consciousness he absorbed, Peter knew more about the levels of cultivation.

At Peter’s current level, he had already ended the ordinary methods of cultivation and truly entered the ranks of those competing for sainthood. One thing was certain: at this point, he was within the star-level strata. After destroying the two souls, along with his own energy, Peter was now at the Fate One-Star level. Although it was the lowest star level, the One-Star Fate level was already far more powerful than the so-called Immortal Realm.
