Chapter 675: Chapter 465: 10% Heavenly Fate, Martial True Spirit

Erosion Sun Rain looked at the figure in the high heavens that devoured the Heavenly Fate, a complex shimmer flickering in his eyes, but more so a nearly fervent delight.

He was the first to kneel on one knee, his head bowed deeply, blood-colored long spear placed horizontally before him, speaking in a deep voice:

“Subordinate was unable to stop the enemy, carelessly allowing Fu Pinglan to escape, leaving behind future troubles, I come to seek forgiveness from Ancestral Dao.”

The remaining eleven Ancient Ancestors, regardless of the severity of their injuries, followed suit and kneeled silently like mountains, quietly waiting for Chu Zheng, who was transforming upon the Heavenly Dome, to speak.

In the Heavenly Dome, the invisible Heavenly Fate gradually retracted.

Chu Zheng, like a parched desert meeting sweet rain, akin to a great snake on the verge of becoming a dragon, frantically absorbing nutrients on the edge of transformation.

As Heavenly Fate entered his body, Chu Zheng’s perception of the laws between heaven and earth became unprecedentedly clear and sensitive, the grass and trees of the Vast Universe, the operation of laws, even the subtle traces of Heaven and Earth Origin were reflected in his Sea of Consciousness like patterns on his palm.

He could even vaguely touch the deeper core that maintained the operation of this realm.

However, beneath this perception, an invisible yet extremely strong repulsive force continually surrounded him, the very laws of Vast Universe repelling him as an outsider.

The foundation of Heavenly Fate within him from the Great Universe was incompatible with this realm’s laws, like oil and water, their boundaries starkly distinct, fundamentally unable to merge.

The Heavenly Fate of the two realms remained clearly separated in his body, unable to communicate.

Chu Zheng had long sensed this situation, upon first entering Vast Universe, he discovered the Heavenly Fate he bore from the Great Universe was isolated outside by this realm’s laws, completely unusable as if sealed.

At that time, he was puzzled but unable to delve deeper.

However, he could be one hundred percent certain that the vast Heavenly Fate belonging to those two Ancestral Realms of Martial Dao had indeed entered his body at this moment, absorbed by the Luck Stealing Skill, becoming thoroughly a part of him, surpassing the restrictions of domain laws.

Yet, like before, the Heavenly Fate he absorbed into his body was sequestered outside the rules of Vast Universe.

Several hours later, the vast stream of Heavenly Fate finally subsided slowly, merging completely into Chu Zheng’s limbs and bones, his figure suspended in the Heavenly Dome emitted a sense of unprecedented Perfection and gravitas.

“What a pity…”

Chu Zheng looked inward at himself with a light sigh.

He could feel that the fallen Heavenly Fate was not fully obtained by him, a significant portion of Heavenly Fate was drawn away by the force from Fu Pinglan’s Tao Tribulation Stick during the aftermath of the battle, partially lost, unable to be completely captured.

Nevertheless, combined with the Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny he had previously gathered at the Immortal Crossing Ceremony within the Great Immortal Realm, the total quantity of Heavenly Fate now accumulated within him still reached an astounding ten percent.

This meant that the boundless Great Universe, with its inherent will of heaven and earth and the authority of the great Dao, had none other than one-tenth fallen into his Chu Zheng’s hands.

The ticket to allow two living creatures of the Mythical Domain to cross into the Ancestral Realm was held in his palm, enough to become the cornerstone for him to pry the structure of two realms in the future, interfering in the Dao War.

Long after, the turbulent aura surrounding Chu Zheng due to Heavenly Fate infusion finally calmed, he opened his eyes, the divine light within restrained, deep as an abyss.

He slowly descended from the Heavenly Dome, returned to the solitary peak, stopping in front of the secluded corridor.

His gaze peacefully swept across the Ancient Ancestors below, still kneeling on one knee, their breaths solid, bearing injuries.

“Everyone, please rise.”

Chu Zheng was silent for a moment, faced the many Ancient Ancestors, made a courteous gesture with his hands:

“For your aid in today’s battle, thank you, everyone.”

“The favor of your aid today, Chu Zheng… will keep in mind.”

With those words spoken, Erosion Sun Rain and the other Ancient Ancestors felt a shock within their hearts, shaking their heads in unison.

Erosion Sun Rain saluted again, speaking respectfully: “Alleviating the concerns of Ancestral Dao is our duty, dare not claim credit.”

Chu Zheng was well aware, even if Erosion Sun Rain and others showed utmost reverence and even fervor toward Ancestral Dao, he would not truly place himself above these giants of eternity.

He understood that his current level of cultivation was yet insufficient to truly subdue them, today’s battle was also entirely due to their exertion, making it necessary to maintain proper measure.

In the future, where their support is needed, it will only increase and become more dangerous, at least requiring the most basic respect.

Chu Zheng’s gaze swept across the marks on Erosion Sun Rain inflicted by the Tao Tribulation Stick and the waning aura of several Ancient Ancestors, causing a momentary apprehensive chill within his heart.

The Martial Path, indeed the strongest Taoist orthodoxy among the paths, facing enemies four times their strength, Fu Pinglan’s trio could erupt with such terrifying combat power, not only severely injuring over half the enemies but even allowing one to escape.

However, regarding Fu Pinglan’s life or death, Chu Zheng was no longer too concerned, a Fu Pinglan who fled heavily injured could no longer pose any fatal threat to him, what he truly needed to focus on now was his own cultivation realm.

The top priority was to quickly increase his cultivation level.

Originally, he was troubled by having nowhere to gather Heavenly Fate, Fu Pinglan’s trio was truly timely rain, not only delivering Heavenly Fate but far exceeding his expectations.

Yet absorbing such vast Heavenly Fate is only the beginning, he also needs to thoroughly refine it, control it, and use it as an opportunity, borrowing the power of Heavenly Fate to suddenly step into the supreme threshold of the Ancestral Realm.

Only by entering the Ancestral Realm could he truly wield the vast Heavenly Fate within him, combined with the numerous Ancient Ancestors present, then truly possess the power to influence the grand situation.
