Commanding Destiny
It must be said that the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme truly lived up to his former status as a supreme being.
First, he was trapped in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then he was ambushed by Zhou Tong with the Battle Staff, and then his Immortal Platform was severely damaged by the Sun Sacred Emperor's Array Diagram. But he is still able to hold on.
The Imperial Dao Supreme is too powerful!
However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited Zhou Tong became.
His fighting spirit surged continuously, especially after unleashing the Heavenly Art of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage, which made it even more ferocious. The Chaos Demon Ape's Heavenly Art honed itself more in times of turmoil, allowing it to continuously transform and grow stronger with each battle; Zhou Tong fought with frenzied intensity, and under these circumstances, he unleashed the Ten Evils Treasure Art to an unconventional peak.
To gain enlightenment and progress through battle—this is the path to becoming Battle Immortal.
Especially at this moment, the Heavenly Skill of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage is also resonating with the Battle Staff. In this instant, the Deity of the Battle Staff manifests and blesses Zhou Tong.
The resurrection of an Imperial Weapon, with its full combat power added to Zhou Tong, caused his combat strength to surge instantly.
As Zhou Tong's incomplete Hegemon Body Ancestral Form clashed with the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme, it gradually took shape, and various laws were gradually sorted out and perfected. His combat power continued to grow, and the power of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form became stronger and stronger.
However, Zhou Tong was still somewhat unsatisfied, because his ancestral body had not yet reached the perfect state he had envisioned.
But there was nothing that could be done!
Because the opponent could no longer hold on.
"Boom!!"
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation shrank little by little, constantly compressing the range of movement of the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme. Finally, with the last blow delivered by Zhou Tong with the Battle Staff, the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme exploded.
"It's over, Destiny Orange Gold. Your so-called destiny no longer exists. In this Lifetime, destiny is in my hands, not in yours." Zhou Tong's eyes were like two Sword One, and his fighting spirit burned like flames, finally spreading to his Hegemonic Bell.
"Thump!!"
With a resounding bell, Zhou Tong struck it with his Supreme Battle Intent, the bell's waves rippling outwards—a death knell of destiny. The domineering orange light emanating from the Hegemonic Bell gradually faded, eventually reaching a balance with the other Immortal Metal Planting Method.
However, the portion of destiny brought about by the Destiny Orange Gold Immortal Gold Profound Meaning destiny did not end, but continued to be infused into Zhou Tong's primordial spirit.
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion—all the emotions and struggles of Human World are revealed. This is a future foretold by destiny, tragic and desolate.
However, Zhou Tong, who had already Annihilation his destiny, did not get caught up in it. Instead, he looked down on everything from a god-like perspective, viewing the destiny set by the Destiny Orange Gold from an alternative angle, and had a different feeling in his heart.
In the end, fate brought him to an end.
"Boom!"
In that instant, an Eternal Light shot out from between Zhou Tong's brows, piercing through the Void the Great of the universe. His primordial spirit was like an Eternal Ancient Star, unfading celestial sun, illuminating the world and shattering the Myriad Heavens.
Zhou Tong opened his eyes. Before him was still a silent starry sky, and in the distance was still the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star. The so-called Heavenly Abandonment Supreme did not exist at all; everything was merely an evolution of destiny.
"So... this is the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of the Destiny Orange Gold!" In an instant, Zhou Tong understood the profound meaning of the Destiny Orange Gold. It was a profound meaning very similar to the Nine Secrets: Qian, but it focused more on destiny and trajectory.
Ordinary people cannot control this Immortal Metal, because it will lead the cultivator who possesses it into a predetermined destiny, ultimately leading to their demise, from which there is no way to Transcendence. However, fully mastering the mysteries of the Destiny Orange Gold is equivalent to having destiny in one's hands, thus being able to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, and remain untainted by karma.
Of course, the so-called pursuit of good fortune and avoidance of misfortune, and the avoidance of karmic consequences, also have certain limitations.
For example, if Zhou Tong deliberately goes to dangerous places, he cannot avoid it; if he forms some kind of huge karmic connection with Immortal King or even a higher-level powerhouse, this Immortal Metal Planting Method will not be able to make Zhou Tong avoid it, it can only make a slight limiting weakening.
"Actually, with my current level of power and skill, there's hardly any danger in wielding the mysteries of Destiny Orange Gold..." Zhou Tong said softly, comprehending the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.
The essence of Destiny Orange Gold is that even if you construct a fictitious future, it still needs to be based on facts.
For Zhou Tong, this fact is one of the many trump cards he possesses.
With the Battle Staff, the Lingbao Sword Formation, the Sun Sacred Emperor Formation Diagram, the Vajra Ring, and even the Heavenly Technique of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage he cultivated, in a one-on-one duel, this Supreme Being, unaware of his trump cards and having already inflicted a fatal blow upon himself, would already be no match for him, given his initial underestimation of his opponent.
As for the truth about the Supreme Being, it is that he is fighting alone.
It's impossible for Heaven's Mandate to conjure up all the supreme beings of Dark Turmoil, because those supreme beings are inherently scattered and cannot all gather in one domain unless an insurmountable enemy appears.
With these facts in place, it becomes possible to decipher the secrets of the Destiny Orange Gold.
Of course, this also requires Zhou Tong's own strength. Otherwise, even if an ordinary Quasi-Emperor had the Vajra Ring to raise his combat power to the seventh level, he would never be able to defeat the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme.
"Did the Wu Shi the Great also see something back then, or understand a part of the mystery of the Destiny Orange Gold, which is why he ultimately gave up this piece of Destiny Orange Gold?" Zhou Tong couldn't help but think of this.
But whatever the truth was back then, he has no way of knowing now.
"In truth, I am now capable of contending with a Supreme Being, but the future Dark Turmoil will involve... seven!"
Although it has been proven that he is not afraid of a single Supreme Being now, the sheer number of Supreme Beings in the future still poses a significant challenge. In particular, the two crucial items in this battle— the Lingbao Sword Formation and the Sun Sacred Emperor Formation Diagram —experienced a sharp decline in power when facing multiple Supreme Beings.
The Sun Sacred Emperor's Array Diagram only has two more uses left; to use it again, the Sun Sacred Emperor must be awakened. The Lingbao Sword Formation itself is something that even multiple Supreme Beings can break through. Once a Supreme Being breaks through, I will have no power to resist.
Holding the mandate of heaven, Zhou Tong was filled with countless insights. The battle with the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme, though illusory, was also real. The Hegemon Body Ancestral Form that was restored during the battle was indelible. And the countless joys and sorrows, the partings and reunions, though illusory, also gave Zhou Tong a unique understanding.
During this enlightenment, the Azure Heaven True Blood within Zhou Tong's body was constantly expanding, gradually progressing from over 80% to nearly 90%.
"It's time to break through and transcend the tribulation!"
Zhou Tong looked up at the sky, and a sea of lightning descended instantly.
"Well done! I haven't had enough yet!" Zhou Tong roared. He unleashed his Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, charging upwards and punching through the sea of tribulation, creating a vacuum!
He had just survived the fourth heavenly Heavenly Tribulation not long ago, and now, only a few months later, he is about to face the fifth heavenly Heavenly Tribulation.
Such a speed of cultivation is unparalleled in this world!
At this moment, endless lightning flashed in the Void the Great, transforming into a vast immortal Immortal Domain that descended and surrounded him.
The vast Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation naturally alarmed the nearby Hegemon Body Ancestral Star.
In an ancient cave with the word "Ba" engraved on it, and in a fairy source, a pair of eyes suddenly opened.
"Who are you? Who gave you the audacity to undergo tribulation on the Hegemon Body Lineage?" A chilling voice echoed from within the Immortal Source, but just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly froze.
"Huh? Another Hegemon Body? Not born on the ancestral star? So it's Hegemon Body from another star region returning to its ancestral home!"
"After he successfully transcends the tribulation, take him into the Ancestral Cave!" Soon, an order came from the Hegemon Body Ancestral Cave.
