After the Great Dao Fate Lotus appeared, the Sea of ​​Fate became calm. Then, people appeared out of thin air on the Sea of ​​Fate. There were men and women, old and young, but each had an incredibly terrifying aura.

They stepped on the currents of fate, like streaks of light tearing through the ancient space and time, and rushed towards the Great Dao Fate Lotus.

"The struggle for the great dao is all about ruthlessness. This time, I will not show any mercy!"

A robed old man spoke calmly. He stood on a painting of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, with a green canopy floating above his head. Lightning swirled in his pupils, and his every breath resonated with echoes of the dao. He resembled an eternal and immortal emperor!

The appearance of the robed old man made many people's eyes narrow. Jiang Mingshui! He was a Greater Boundless Eternal from the World of the Divine and was known as a supreme figure who had survived seven Great Silence Unlife Calamities.

In the various epochal worlds encompassed by the Sea of ​​Fate, Jiang Mingshui was considered an especially extraordinary and powerful expert.

"What a joke, when have you, Old Monster Jiang, ever shown mercy when trying to snatch the Altar of Fate? But the final outcome of the struggle is always a mix of wins and losses."

Suddenly, a fiery red figure appeared. She was a charming woman in a red dress, as beautiful as a young maiden. She rode on a golden divine bird and was radiant and dazzling. Su Wanjun!

There was another commotion in the field, and many old figures revealed deep apprehension. She was a demoness who had rampaged through multiple epochs and was known as a ruthless killer with terrifying combat power.

Jiang Mingshui glanced at Su Wanjun, then sneered and stepped into the Great Dao Fate Lotus. Following closely, Su Wanjun also rode her divine bird and disappeared into the Great Dao Fate Lotus.

After all, there were only ten breaths of time for people to enter. Before entering the Great Dao Fate Lotus, no one would choose to fight outside it. Even those who had deep-seated hatred between each other would restrain themselves.

Then, divine arcs of light rained down, and more and more people rushed into the Great Dao Fate Lotus. Among them were many powerful experts who were no weaker than Jiang Mingshui and Su Wanjun.

“Huh, why are there a group of unfamiliar figures from the Spirit Martial World?” A surprised voice rang out from someone who had noticed the appearance of Lin Xun and the others.

“So it’s Xing Jianxia of the Origin Sect and Fu Nanli of the Spirit Sect... Does this mean that the old fellows from the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect have given up this time and don’t intend to participate in this competition?”

Someone recognized Xing Jianxia and the others, and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression. In the last competition for the Great Dao Fate Lotus, Xinhu, Leisong, and the others had achieved the final victory, sending away Ji Tianqing’s group of three. This had been witnessed by the powerful figures from other epochal civilizations.

However, when they saw Xing Jianxia and the others here today, these people realized that the current situation was somewhat different.

Someone noticed Lin Xun and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, “Oh, they even brought a Creation Realm cultivator with them. Are they planning to use him as bait to send him to his death?”

“A Creation Realm Eternal?!”

Many old fellows from other epochal worlds who noticed this also couldn't help but laugh, but their chuckles were full of amusement.

If it were any other Creation Eternal, they would have already felt uncomfortable from being stared at by so many terrifying experts. In contrast, Lin Xun smiled slightly, his heart filled with anticipation.

Indeed, in today's world, only in the competition for the Great Dao Fate Lotus could one find worthy opponents. Most of these old fellows were at the Greater Boundless Realm! How could he not be excited?

“Young Friend Lin Xun, let's go.” Without delay, Xing Jianxia and the others, along with Lin Xun, rushed towards the Great Dao Fate Lotus, and their figures quickly disappeared.

Ten breaths of time quickly passed. The nine petals of the Great Dao Fate Lotus, like gigantic mountains, closed together, quietly floating in the Sea of ​​Fate. This meant that the fifth competition had begun. Whoever ultimately won there would have the opportunity to go to the All-Wonder Dominion!

“This time, there are two hundred and eighty-one experts participating in the competition, which is twenty more than last time.”

At the top of Dao Seeking Sacred Mountain, Ren Futian, who had remained to oversee the situation, continued in a deep voice. “Although Xinhu and his group ultimately won their last confrontation, they had also lost a powerful expert at the Greater Boundless Realm. This time, the power possessed by Senior Xing Jianxia and his group is even somewhat inferior to that of Xinhu’s group back then. Under these circumstances, winning will likely be very difficult.”

Zhong Qiu frowned.

Ren Futian then added softly, “It’s fine as long as they stay alive. If they fail this time, there will be another chance. Old Monster Xing and the others are not really trying to compete for the opportunity. Instead, they want to take Lin Xun there to familiarize him with the situation in the Fate Lotus World.”

Everyone nodded.

...

Fate Lotus World.

In an ancient and primitive world, mountains rose and fell, vast and boundless. Being here felt like going back to the time when everything first started. The sky was high and the earth was vast. Everything looked as if it had just come into being, exuding the most primitive and ancient aura.

In the void, a rich and powerful life force permeated the air. Every blade of grass and every tree here was full of spirituality and vitality, imprinted with the most ancient traces of the great dao.

Buzz~

With a ripple in the void, Lin Xun appeared out of thin air. After looking around for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

At his cultivation level, he could tell that the laws that filled this world were extremely mysterious and incredibly solid. They were enough to withstand the battles of beings at the Immeasurable Realm. He could also feel the overwhelming concentration of Dao Fate Power through breathing alone!

Most importantly, Lin Xun sensed that the law power covering this Fate Lotus World was from the true Principles of Fate. Of note, Fate was a supreme and forbidden great dao!

“Xia Zhi, do you feel this?”

With a thought from Lin Xun, Xia Zhi's graceful and slender figure appeared out of thin air.

“It is indeed the Principles of Fate.” Xia Zhi's clear eyes looked towards the sky as a bright light flashed in them. “Furthermore, it contains the most complete power of the Principles of Fate.”

As she spoke, she extended her slender, fair right hand, her palm facing the sky. Soon, strands of crystal-clear, dreamlike threads descended from the sky, floating onto the lines of her palm. Instantly, as Lin Xun watched, Xia Zhi's fair right hand was enveloped in a dazzling, ethereal light, revealing circles of profound dao fluctuations.

That was the power of the Dao of Fate, and it was incredibly pure!

Genuine joy bloomed on Xia Zhi's incomparably beautiful face. "Lin Xun, I can feel that the sealed power within me is being awakened little by little. If this continues, my power will experience a rapid and significant increase."

Lin Xun's heart trembled. Indeed, while Dao Fate Orbs might be useless to Xia Zhi, this Fate Lotus World, on the other hand,was a "blessed land" for Xia Zhi to achieve her own breakthrough!

Back in the World of the Divine in the Fortune Dominion, Xia Zhi had used the forbidden divine ability Mortal Calamity to kill Ji Chaoyin, who had been at the advanced Creation Realm. It was then that Lin Xun realized that Xia Zhi's true combat power was already comparable to his own, which had been at the perfect Law Transcendent Realm at the time.

However, things were different now.

Lin Xun was now a perfect Creation Realm Eternal, and after experiencing the Nine Ultimate Dao Tribulations in the river of time, he had embarked on a supreme path that transcended the cycles of epochs. He was now capable of killing Greater Boundless Eternals like Ziche Wuji and Panwu Fusheng.

In fact, in a one-on-one situation, even Greater Boundless Eternals like Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli could no longer suppress Lin Xun.

Xia Zhi's current cultivation was only equivalent to the advanced Creation Realm. Of course, if she were to use her forbidden divine ability, Mortal Calamity, she could easily sweep away all opponents in the Creation Realm.

However, Lin Xun knew that Xia Zhi had not yet completely refined the power that had been sealed by the Eternal Night Divine Emperor; otherwise, her combat power would be far greater than this.

Of note, the Eternal Night Divine Emperor had suffered greatly from the Alpha Origin Bell, and this was a horrible tribulation that only Greater Boundless experts who had overcome eight Great Silence Unlife Calamities would encounter!

This meant that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was a truly supreme being of the Greater Boundless Realm as even the ninth Great Silence Unlife Calamity failed to completely destroy her. Instead, she reincarnated and cultivated anew, leaving the foundation for her resurgence in the body of Xia Zhi, her reincarnated self!

This was also why Xia Zhi has been able to improve her combat power without needing to truly cultivate in recent years. She only needed to refine the power that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor had sealed within her little by little to continuously increase her own strength.

Now, for Xia Zhi, the power of fate that covered the Fate Lotus World could help her refine the sealed power within her body in the shortest possible time!

Lin Xun thought for a moment and came to a decision. "Let's go and meet up with Senior Xing Jianxia and the others first."

This was the Fate Lotus World, a battleground where the most powerful figures from various epochs fought and killed each other. Danger lurked everywhere. Only by joining forces with Xing Jianxia and the others could they form a group strong enough to threaten their opponents, thus allowing Xia Zhi to have the opportunity to focus on pure cultivation.

Xia Zhi nodded. However, just as she retracted her right hand that had been extended into the void, a surprised voice suddenly rang out in the distance, "This little girl can actually sense and absorb the power of the Principles of Fate?"

As soon as the voice sounded, the void trembled, and a golden divine bird appeared out of thin air. On the back of the divine bird sat a woman in a red dress, charming and fiery, with snow-white skin. She was as beautiful as a young maiden and radiated a captivating aura.

Su Wanjun!

Lin Xun's eyes narrowed, and he subtly shielded Xia Zhi behind him. Before entering the Fate Lotus World, he had received a message from Xing Jianxia specifically mentioning this woman in red, Su Wanjun.

She was known for her capricious nature and ruthless killing sprees, so she was considered a demoness by many powerful experts at the Greater Boundless Realm. She was extremely famous in this region of the Sea of Fate.

Rumors claimed that she had the ability to seize an opportunity to go to the All-Wonder Dominion a long time ago. What was weird was that she had repeatedly given up on such opportunities.

No one knew why she did this. Now, Su Wanjun, riding a divine beast, had appeared out of thin air, fixing her beautiful eyes on Xia Zhi.

Clearly, the commotion caused by Xia Zhi sensing the Principles of Fate had been noticed by this demoness who looked like a charming young girl!

This left Lin Xun speechless.

To encounter such a formidable opponent so soon after arriving in Fate Lotus World was truly unlucky. However, he didn’t panic. With his current combat power, he wasn't afraid to fight against this notorious demoness known for her ruthless killing sprees!
