Chapter 135: The last card

There was no way I could refuse. My master had pushed me into the formation just right.

The entire formation was filled with lightning and thunder. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but I happened to be standing in a gap in the formation. I should say that the position I was standing in was the origin of the entire formation. Only in this place would I not be disturbed by the lightning and thunder rushing in the formation… In the next process, as long as I took one wrong step in the formation, I could say that I would fall into the “thunderous sky” ending.

This is not an exaggeration. The effect of this heavenly tribulation formation, which corresponds to the last secret technique, is supposed to be like this. Once it cannot be completed, the effect of the backlash is also shocking.

I stood in the middle of the formation and paused for a few seconds. I thought I would definitely be nervous, but I was strangely calm as I prepared to cast the spell.

The sound of ‘crashing’ came, and the god had once again destroyed a pillar of star power. The scattered fragments of star power had already drifted across the entire platform. Time was really running out. A voice from my master urged, “Chengyi, hurry up and perform the spell.”

A faint sense of annoyance came over me, the feeling of being hated by my master. But now that I knew what was going on, I was calm. After all, my will was dominant now, so under my master’s urging, I finally took the first step calmly.

“Unless you stop using any magic.” The words of the god still lingered in my mind. At this moment, I finally deeply understood why I would encounter a “bad” ending when I used magic. Because my understanding of magic must be much deeper than that of the so-called “Daotongzi” in my previous life. At this time, it is equivalent to allowing his will to “invade” strongly, but this is also something that cannot be helped.

I had not been able to deeply understand the horror of the invasion of the will before, but at this time I completely understood this state. It is like a body that can contain two or more souls, but any soul can only contain one will. The will is the core of the soul, and the existence of multiple wills is impossible.

Even if my past life has insight into all my memories in this life, it can’t be me, because the difference in will determines the difference in essence. After the will has changed, it is not an exaggeration to say that my existence is like a book. He can flip through every page, but he is no longer me.

The reason I experienced this terror was because the first step was much more precise than I had previously predicted. A slight difference can determine the fundamental difference in the power of a spell.

My heart was filled with a faint fear, but after the first step was taken, my mind was already completely occupied by this secret method passed down by the master.

“Interesting, really interesting. It’s the secret method of breaking space, even if it’s only for a short moment… let me see if it works.” At this moment, I had no sorrow or joy in my heart, and the thought that came to mind was this.

Yes, the last secret technique passed down by my master is the short-lived secret technique of breaking through the so-called space. Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the idea that is certain is the theory of space, and modern science also confirms that the so-called one-dimensional space, two-dimensional space… But no matter which theory, they all point to a key point, that is, the overlap between spaces is ethereal and intangible, and it is impossible to grasp.

To put it more simply, the barrier between spaces is difficult to break, and you don’t even know where it is, so how can you talk about breaking it?

But the last secret technique passed down by the master is a trick, using the natural disaster!

Yes, in this world, or in other spaces (just a guess), once anything breaks through the laws of the universe in a certain space, it will be subject to the so-called heavenly tribulation. The form of the heavenly tribulation is actually extremely monotonous. Apart from the so-called tribulation of the heart, the only manifestation is the tribulation of thunder.

The technique used by the master is to take advantage of the characteristic of thunder and lightning breaking through space. Because since ancient times, the heavenly tribulation cannot be avoided. As long as it is due, it will fall at any time and place. People can intentionally cross the tribulation, but the heavens only act according to the rules.

From this fact, it can be inferred that lightning has the characteristic of traversing space! The last secret technique of the master is to actually create the thunder of the heavenly tribulation, which briefly traverses space.

This secret technique sounds quite rebellious, breaking the barrier of space. Thinking about it makes people’s blood boil, but in fact it is not. Lightning briefly breaks the barrier of space, but for the practitioner, it does not have any benefits at all. Moreover, what is the use of such a brief break in the barrier of space?

A spell with no purpose, even if it is theoretically very rebellious, is difficult to understand, not to mention that it is so difficult to perform this spell. The most difficult step is to gather a thousand thunders and burst them in an instant to achieve the effect of the thunder of the heavenly tribulation. The most important thing is the momentum.

“With this formation, it’s worth a try.” I felt that I was not the one who had stepped out of the formation. In the blink of an eye, I had taken seven steps without even realizing it.

After seven steps, the thunder pattern I had stepped on no longer flowed, but began to gather in a terrifying manner, as if the place I had stepped on had become a “thunder pool.” I don’t know if this is the right way to describe it, but the reality is that I, who was stepping on the steps, had a new understanding of the magic. That is, since it relies on the formation to become a magic, then it gathers more thunder power in the formation, and constantly overlaps and compresses this thunder power at the limit that the formation can withstand.

I really wanted to stop myself from doing this, because it was unthinkable for me to make any changes to my master’s magic. The second thing was how could I compress the violent energy of thunder and lightning?

But during the process of casting the spell, the Taoist disciple’s will was absolutely dominant, and I had no way to stop him. He was like a madman completely immersed in the spell, and he was resolute and swift. Once he had this idea, he had to cast it immediately.

So, during the process of stepping on the step, he actually began to pinch the hand movements… the ultimate in the art of multitasking, the step hand movements were carried out simultaneously.

The hand movements were an adapted version of the thunder spell I knew, which meant that he had temporarily changed the hand movements, allowing all the power of thunder and lightning to gather, contained but not released… and then absorbed it using the power of the formation. As for how to overlap the power, he was even going to change the step-gong, using his own soul power as a guide to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to suppress it.

Crazy, my previous life was an absolute madman. This is not at all casting magic, but playing with fire!

In this strange situation where my own thoughts are out of control, I am like a layman. In this situation of ‘doing nothing’, I couldn’t help but glance at the master. At this moment, the master was sitting outside the formation. In front of him, there was a ‘little person’ that appeared out of nowhere.

Yes, it was a “little person,” but not a real person. It was only the size of a palm, but because it was so lifelike, there was a faint aura of humanity flowing through it, so at first glance, it looked just like a real person.

However, this “little person” gave me a feeling of familiarity, because before this, Uncle Chen had also produced three such little people, but they were much more “rigid” than Master’s. Uncle Chen used them to perform the “substitute body technique.”

What on earth is this thing? I was puzzled. Where did Master and the others find these little people? But as soon as my question had just popped up, a feeling of envy welled up in my heart, as if I knew exactly what it was.

Unfortunately, the next moment, I was completely immersed in the magic, and it didn’t give me any answers at all.

The Taoist boy was in charge of the magic, and the entire magic was carried out very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already half done, and it was done with his own unauthorized changes. I thought things would go very smoothly, but at this time, with the last passionate burst of sound, the last pillar of star power was completely shattered.

Amidst the flying fragments of star power, the god with his tattered clothes stood there laughing wildly at the sky, and the river of fate that had completely dried up seemed to be of no concern to him anymore.

“This time, see what capital you have to stop me?” He walked closer to the master, step by step, while the master remained seated on the edge of the formation, motionless.

But at this moment, the master made a strange hand gesture and an inexplicable energy gathered on his body.

With a loud crash, the god tore off his robe and walked forward wearing only white pants. His voice was cold: “I once said that choosing to be in a place like this is not to make others think that I am hiding like a coward, but in a place like this, I…”

As he spoke, Shen began to make hand gestures, and the wind and clouds changed color. Countless roars came from the distant mountains and rivers, filled with angry and desperate screams… But Shen’s expression was cold and arrogant, as if he were really the king of this space.

In my eyes, I saw countless huge amounts of energy rising up into the sky, then gathering rapidly towards this platform. Accompanied by the howls of utter despair, there was also a loud roar from the god: “The river of fate will never run dry!”

At that moment, I understood what the god meant. His river of destiny could be replenished by the “indigenous” here, and the “indigenous” here were all powerful and peerless. The ultimate version of the river of destiny should be the collection of this energy!

In order to fight us, the god finally revealed his last trump card, a trump card that was so great that it was almost impossible to lose!
