Chapter 1365 - Chapter 1365 Chapter 1365 Defying Heaven to Change Fate

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: Defying Heaven to Change Fate! Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: Defying Heaven to Change Fate! Huang Xiaolong directed his thoughts at the Dice of Destiny.

As the dice rapidly spun, many questions surfaced in Huang Xiaolong’s mind–

“Hehe, in this life of mine, my luck has been pretty good, hasn’t it~~~ But what about my future? What will it be?”

In the blink of an eye–

It stopped!

The dice came to a halt!

All eyes were glued to the Dice of Destiny.

During this expedition to the Slaying Heavens Cave Abode, Huang Xiaolong had become the spiritual leader of the Treasure Hunters, thereby his every move deeply affected their hearts!

Subconsciously, everyone believed–one’s glory was everyone’s glory, and one’s loss, everyone’s loss.

Rattle~~!

3 points!

Huang Xiaolong had rolled quite a moderate number.

His entire body relaxed.

Without hesitation, Huang Xiaolong took three bold steps forward!

His footfalls echoed.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong had no idea whether he had stepped on a mine or what.

Abruptly!

Boom~~~!

A murky and tainted beam of light shot up from under Huang Xiaolong’s feet into the sky!

Simultaneously, as though through psychic intervention, Huang Xiaolong suddenly had an ominous premonition of impending doom!

A deep and ancient voice descended from the heavens–

“Ah~~~~!”

First came a sigh.

The sigh caused Huang Xiaolong and the other Treasure Hunters to feel a jolt in their hearts.

“Difficulties abound in your future destiny~~ Will you turn calamity into blessing? Fate is unpredictable~~~”

As soon as the voice faded!

Crackle~~ crackle~~ crackle-crackle~~~!

Rows of blue celestial lightning struck Huang Xiaolong directly!

However, power returned throughout his body.

Snap~~! Snap~~! Snap~~~!

Thankfully, Huang Xiaolong’s physically formidable Divine Body meant that, even though he was bombarded with sparks, he suffered no injuries.

“Dammit! So many hardships in my future?”

Huang Xiaolong was caught between laughter and tears.

But now was not the time for reflection!

“You will experience countless trials and tribulations~~ This life is truly bitter~~~” the aged and deep voice lamented once again.

“Damn it! It’s the Nine Heavens Lightning! The legendary lightning that descends from beyond the nine heavens! The average Immortal Emperor can’t endure it for long!” the Sword Immortal Emperor’s eyes bulged.

The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor also broke into a cold sweat for Huang Xiaolong. “If there weren’t many of these Nine Heavens Lightnings, they could be withstood, but if they’re too dense~~ Fortunately, fortunately, the celestial lightning targeting Huang Xiaolong is quite sparse, perhaps, he’ll get through after a few strikes~~ no harm done, no harm done~~”

It must be said, the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor was a bit of a jinx!

No sooner had he finished speaking–

Crackle-crackle~! Snap! Snap~~!

The descending Nine Heavens Lightning became more intense and frequent!

In an instant, it was like a torrential downpour, relentlessly pouring on Huang Xiaolong!

Suddenly, within the span of a single breath, Huang Xiaolong was struck until his body was battered and blood spattered.

He had sustained injuries!

The Demon King Kui, already extremely weakened and barely clinging to life under the torment of celestial fire, looked at Huang Xiaolong with the empathy of shared misfortune. “Ah~~ Brother Huang Xiaolong, it seems we share the same fate, both our destinies so ill-fated~~~”

“Brother-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law!”

Two great dragons cried out in panic, their hearts racing!

But they were helpless to do anything! They were bound at the moment!

Five slaves burst into inconsolable tears!

“It’s okay! I can take it! Hahaha!” Wrapped in the thunderous booms, Huang Xiaolong laughed loudly, ever the optimist, open-minded.

His body, down to every cell, exuded a verdant green.

Vibrant life force began to diffuse and spread.

The flesh wounds blasted open on Huang Xiaolong’s body rapidly and continually healed.

It was the Wood Star Core!

Huang Xiaolong had obtained this crucial treasure in the First World of the Slaying Heavens Ten Worlds–the Wood Star.

Once he had assimilated the Wood Star Core, his vitality was unceasing, like wild grass–never eradicated by fire, reborn with the spring breeze!

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong only needed to mobilize his strength to protect his consciousness from being shattered by the celestial lightning, while his physical injuries were healed by the Wood Star Core!

“It’s the treasure that brother-in-law obtained from the First World! It can resurrect the dead!” the Ninth Princess exclaimed. “Perhaps~ perhaps brother-in-law can use this treasure to survive this ordeal!”

“Hard to say! The lightning is too dense; who knows how long sister-in-law can last!” The Third Crown Prince broke into a cold sweat.

“Hmm~~ Continue. Next.” The Destiny Elder announced methodically.

Next to take the stage was a Demon Saint.

Having struck the Dice of Destiny, after a few steps, he was mercilessly judged by fate–judged to be short-lived!

Destroyed by the enveloping light, this Demon Saint evaporated without even a whimper, his soul dispersed, not leaving a complete corpse!

By now, one Profound Immortal, one Demon Saint had died on their respective Destiny Paths.

This cast a dark shadow over the hearts of the other Treasure Hunters.

An ominous feeling enveloped them.

Even the Third Crown Prince and Ninth Princess, who had done well in the first round and had good fortune, were now heavily burdened and extremely anxious!

Onward!

The remaining Treasure Hunters continued on their fateful journey!

Next to take the stage was–none other than the Sword Immortal Emperor!

“Hahaha~~ I fear nothing!” the Sword Immortal Emperor laughed valiantly. Yet in his eyes, there was still a faint hint of stoicism in the face of death.

“At my birth, celestial phenomena descended from the heavens, with a hundred phoenixes competing in song and blossoms falling chaotically from the sky!” the Sword Immortal Emperor, his gaze piercing as lightning, declared. “Throughout my life, despite encountering thorns and setbacks, each and every challenge was overcome with the fortune bestowed upon me from the heavens!”

As an Immortal Emperor, the Sword Immortal Emperor also had his own arrogance and pride.

He decisively struck the die of destiny.

Clatter~~!

6 points!

He took 6 steps forward!

“Prosperity amidst adversity for the first half of your life; catastrophe upon catastrophe for the latter half,” an ancient and profound voice, like the authority of heaven itself, proclaimed.

Mysterious lights shot up into the sky!

Countless swords emitting a fierce aura–the rain of swords, the Sword Qi, the Sword Intent… came thundering down with a roar!

“No!!! Dammit!” The Sword Immortal Emperor roared in utter unwillingness as he had no choice but to summon all his immortal power to withstand the onslaught.

In a wretched state!

“The fortune of the Sword Immortal Emperor has always been good! Why? Why has this happened!” The heart of the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor immediately sank.

When it came to luck, even he was not as fortunate as the Sword Immortal Emperor!

Continue! Keep going!

Subsequently, whether it was the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, the Demon King’s roar, the Profound Immortals, the Demon Saints, or Huang Xiaolong’s slaves, all followed the rules, struck the die of destiny, and advanced.

A few of the Treasure Hunters managed to breeze through smoothly, even receiving rewards of Immortal Artifacts or, like the Third Crown Prince, moving extra steps.

But the majority of the Treasure Hunters were trapped by calamities from the heavens.

Though none suffered the misfortune of being directly erased.

Trapped by disaster, they could only barely hold on, like boats amid terrifying waves, constantly on the verge of capsizing and sinking to their doom!

The first round ended!

The second round of the journey through destiny, fraught with peril, had begun.

The Third Crown Prince shook the die of destiny once more.

This time, his luck was not as good!

After rolling 4 points and taking 4 steps, he was told that troubles lurked in his fate, and then… he was relentlessly battered and ground down by endless yellow sands! Each grain of sand exploded like a bomb, blasting the Third Crown Prince until he was left bruised and battered.

In the end, the Third Crown Prince had no choice but to revert to his true form and withstand the heavenly catastrophe with his immense dragon body!

Most of the Treasure Hunters were trapped, finding progress neither forward nor backward difficult to achieve!

Those short hundred steps now seemed insurmountably distant!

Each step forward was incredibly hard!

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong–

“Dammit!” Huang Xiaolong was almost in a panic, overwhelmed.

His body was incessantly crushed and blasted by the nine heavens thunder.

Continuously breaking apart.

All of it depending on the Core of Jupiter for repairs.

But the main problem was, the number of nine heavens thunders and the speed at which they struck was increasing!

At this rate, even if Huang Xiaolong could hold on for a while longer, in the end, death was inevitable!

Look at the Demon King next to him.

His demon light dimmed, his body charred and ruined. He revealed his true form, his scales and skin all burned away, emitting a scent of cooked flesh.

Well then!

The mighty Demon King was about to get roasted–nearly turned into grilled meat! What an ironic joke!

“No way! I need to think of something… I must save myself!”

Huang Xiaolong forced himself to stay calm.

His soul was extraordinarily strong, and in an instant, he entered a state of selflessness, of singular focus, without distraction–

As if he had severed the connection to his physical pain, his mind calmed down.

‘Destiny is abstract and elusive… The common saying goes, one’s destiny is determined at birth. Every creature’s fate is arranged from the moment they are born. However–there still exist those who defy the heavens and change their fate!’

“My destiny? Hmm… if not for that chance encounter, I would have been just an ordinary farm boy from the countryside… It can be said that I have already risen against the heavens and altered my destiny!”

“Later on, I encountered all sorts of demons, ghosts, cultivators, beings of advanced cosmic civilizations… the Immortal Realm, the Dragon Realm, the Demon Realm… I resolved them all!”

“Including, since entering these exterminating realms, every desperate situation has been solved by me! In my battle of wits with the Exterminating Immortal Emperor, from the beginning until now, at least, I have maintained a complete victory!”

…

All the past events, the memories of yesteryears, flickered through Huang Xiaolong’s mind like scenes from a swiftly passing montage!

His eyes, too, became clearer and more luminous!

“Right! Defy the heavens and change fate!”

“I will change my fate! I am a divine being from Earth, one who controls the hellish planets! How could my destiny be confined? How could my fate be ruled by so-called predestination?”

In an instant, an immense determination, willpower, enlightenment… surged through Huang Xiaolong’s heart!

At the same time, within the underworld, it seemed as if billions of souls and demons were praying, chanting, releasing a mighty force of faith!

All at once, Huang Xiaolong opened his mouth and roared mightily, his voice dominating mountains and rivers–a declaration of his supremacy–

“The river of fate flows relentlessly, and as I stand atop its waves, there may be setbacks, but my existence is the truth!!! My fate is in my own hands, not dictated by the heavens!”

“How preposterous to bow to fate? How laughable this game is, inherently ridiculous!”

No sooner had he spoken!

Huang Xiaolong stepped forward boldly!

While being bombarded by the nine heavens thunder, his every move was unrestricted.

As such, while resisting, he now deliberately walked forward!

Without striking the die of destiny, he walked directly ahead!

This was breaking the rules of the game!

That is–breaking fate!!!!!

He took a step forward!

And the nine heavens thunder abruptly halted!

“What? You… you actually broke the rules?” Destiny’s old man stared at Huang Xiaolong in astonishment. “You… you… you… defied the heavens and changed fate?”

“Aren’t rules meant to be broken? To think of using the notion of fate to shackle my thoughts, truly unamusing.” At this moment, Huang Xiaolong’s state of mind seemed to have reached an ineffable new level.

Untainted and beyond the mortal coil!

He lifted his foot again, and took another step forward!!!!!

“Haha, the truth is, the way to solve this challenge is simple–just break the rules actively!!!!! Ha ha ha ha!”
