Making a Roll
"Alas, that's not right. Let me tell you, love is actually a kind of mental illness. It's nothing more than a complex and abstract thing, Abyss that has been beautified by liars and the blind."
The Man in Purple Robes's tone carried a condescending air of someone who had been there before.
"That's just an illusion; those who fall into the Abyss are beyond redemption."
Cang Yue opened his eyes, and the surrounding power gathered to its peak at this moment. The sword, which was formed from qi and intention, slowly rose behind him, its tip pointing at the Man in Purple Robes, and the sword hummed.
He, who used to be the most talkative, is now in a mysterious state, remaining completely silent.
"I hate guys like you who suddenly have an epiphany while you're fighting."
The Man in Purple Robes shook his head, and another six-sided die appeared out of thin air, spinning rapidly.
[The Fate's Choice has begun]
[The target "Cang Yue" is about to launch an attack; a success or failure determination will be made.]
[1d6 (The first number indicates the number of dice, and the second number indicates the number of dice faces)]
[1. Great success! Attack gains triple bonus!]
[2. Quite successful, attack gains 1.5x bonus!]
[3. Success, attack unchanged!]
[4. The attack failed somewhat; it collapsed!]
5. A major failure that backfired!
[6. Cang Yue caught the eye of a powerful being, who then abducted him!]
[1d6=2]
The information about the dice instantly surfaced in their minds, as if it had always been there, only now being seen.
The result is determined the moment the dice appear. The process of spinning and selecting the dice takes no time, or rather, time loses its meaning in the face of dice!
Incident two has occurred!
The next moment, the aura surrounding Cang Yue, carrying the air within a radius of several hundred meters, descended with a thunderous roar. Drawn by the momentum, the energy poured down like a waterfall, crashing down from the sky and striking the Man in Purple Robes.
The air rubbed against each other as it moved at high speed, producing a continuous roar. Heaven and earth seemed to cheer it on, and dark clouds condensed in an instant, closing in from the edge of the night sky like a closing eye.
Raindrops poured down, but before they even hit the ground, the powerful cloud of energy had already approached the Man in Purple Robes. The edge of the cloud of energy rubbed against the air at high speed, emitting a piercing Screech!
"Sigh, bad luck." The Man in Purple Robes sighed softly.
The dice spun once more.
[The Fate's Choice has begun]
[You are about to perform a dodge; a judgment will be made.]
[1d6]
[1. Great success! Dodged and returned the attack!]
[2. Quite successful, dodging the attack and gaining a chance to counterattack!]
[3. Success! You dodged the attack!]
[4. A bit of a failure; I dodged the attack but got grazed!]
[5. A major failure, impossible to avoid!]
[6. A powerful figure arrives, and an unknown event occurs!]
[1d6=4]
Event four is in effect!
The figure of the Man in Purple Robes drifted away into the distance like a ghost, like a pair of trousers blown away by the wind, without warning and impossible to fathom.
At the same time, Cang Yue seemed to have lost control of the power of heaven and earth, unable to continue tracking the Man in Purple Robes's location, nor able to adjust the direction of the qi sword, and could only watch as the high-speed qi sword was about to graze past the Man in Purple Robes.
But that's not all.
[The Fate's Choice has begun]
[You are about to be attacked. A judgment needs to be made.]
[1d6]
[1. A resounding success! They withstood the ordeal unscathed, and even gleaned a profound understanding of its essence!]
[2. Quite successfully, they withstood the attack unscathed!]
[3. Success! Endured the ordeal with tattered clothes!]
[4. It was a bit of a failure; I suffered all the damage!]
[5. Major failure, damage doubled!]
[6. The outcome? I'll fool you!]
[1d6=3]
Event 3 takes effect!
The powerful attack passed by, but the Man in Purple Robes only suffered a torn hem, falling to the ground and shaking his head.
"What terrible luck today, don't you think?"
Cang Yue gritted his teeth.
In the past, only others found him disgusting, but today he found the person in front of him truly disgusting!
By repeatedly Throwing the dice, the Man in Purple Robes was always able to steer the battle in his favor. Each time the dice landed, the situation would likely shift slightly in the direction you didn't want.
One deviation may not change the course of the battle, but ten, twenty, or fifty deviations added together will tip the scales of victory to the side that is completely out of reach!
"Let's try again, and see if you can take her away today."
The Man in Purple Robes slowly walked towards Cang Yue.
"What on earth are these three doing? They can reach the power of Foundation Establishment without any cultivation, and they can even comprehend the essence of the realm?!"
Yili Zhenren, hidden atop the building, frowned as he watched the duel between Cang Yue and the Man in Purple Robes below.
"Could it be... that they are also Xiantian Divine?!"
Yili Zhenren had been observing outside Qingyun Zhenren's shrine for some time. Except when Qingyun Zhenren faked his death and woke up, when he was completely hidden and not observed, he had been watching the battle between the Survivors the whole time.
"The methods and abilities they used didn't seem like those of cultivators... One of them seemed like a Martial Dao master who had achieved great success in the mortal realm, while the other was unfathomable. The one who fell, though his internal organs were all gone, still managed to survive with a vitality beyond that of ordinary people..."
Yili Zhenren had a thought and prepared to take out the golden scroll bestowed by Dao Lord to test it, but he quickly realized that it was already anchored to the previous Xiantian Divine and could no longer guide Dao Lord's divine thoughts, so he gave up.
"Could it be... someone from outside the realm?"
Unable to fathom Yili Zhenren, and sensing a chilling undercurrent, Yili decided to wait until the battle was over before making his move to capture the three.
The current situation is as follows: the Man in Purple Robes occasionally kicks the woman on the ground a couple of times without attacking the naked man. The naked man repeatedly tries to leave with the woman, but is blocked by the Man in Purple Robes in purple robes. Attacks against the Man in Purple Robes are always neutralized or even countered!
Both of them used extremely strange methods, and sometimes they were completely unreasonable. If it weren't for the fact that their powers were limited to the early and Middle Foundation Establishment Early Foundation Establishment, Yili Zhenren would have already run away.
This is Superpower that even Violet Palace Adept could not comprehend.
Suddenly, Yili Zhenren sensed something and turned to look.
A figure emerged from the shadows and walked to his side.
It was that strange, Xiantian Divine, dressed in Dark Daoist Robe of unknown origin, and clutching a magical artifact of unknown origin in his hand.
Huh? Why is it him again?
Yili Zhenren quickly realized the significance of Su Luo's appearance before him and silently sensed her aura.
Without cultivation, his Qi absorption and soul strength are only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
"... So you're skilled at concealment, you've managed to fool me."
Yili Zhenren shook his head slightly, his eyes somewhat dazed, as if he had figured something out.
"Just some underhanded tricks, not worth mentioning."
Su Luo's gaze fell on the two people fighting below.
A Purple Violet Palace cultivator and an unknown individual stood together, showing no intention of making a move. They even began to watch the fight below, where the identities of the two individuals were also unknown.
