Who Am I

Central Region, Azure Flame Valley.

After spending half a month, Lin Tian finally arrived at Azure Flame Valley from that forest. What puzzled him was that Zhou Qiongtian had not come after him.

But what he did not know was that Zhou Qiongtian had long been waiting for him in Azure Flame Valley.

After exchanging for the Heaven-Asking Talisman, Zhou Qiongtian wanted to learn Lin Tian's location, but Lin Tian's position kept changing.

Therefore, Zhou Qiongtian directly asked for Lin Tian's destination and waited by the stump for a hare.

"Great Nirvana Finger!"

Zhou Qiongtian did not waste words. He knew villains died from talking too much, so the moment he saw Lin Tian, he immediately unleashed his technique.

A colossal pitch-black finger descended from the heavens. Compared to that enormous finger, Lin Tian was like an ant.

At the sight of this, Lin Tian's face filled with shock. How did Zhou Qiongtian know he was heading to Azure Flame Valley? Even an expert of the Wisdom Path should not have been able to deduce that!

Could Zhou Qiongtian possess the ability to foresee the future?

The Great Nirvana Finger was already close at hand, and Lin Tian did not dare let his mind wander. He immediately activated the second form of the Demon God Core. His entire body turned crimson, heat steaming continuously from him.

Rather than take the attack head-on, Lin Tian rushed into Azure Flame Valley at top speed.

However, Zhou Qiongtian naturally would not let Lin Tian have his way. He used Lightning Step and caught up to him, moving a notch faster than Lin Tian.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Tian tossed something from his storage ring. It was a pitch-black creature whose facial features could not be seen, but it stood on all fours and appeared to be a demonic beast.

It was a demonic beast at the early Eclosion Realm, immensely powerful, yet now it could only serve as cannon fodder.

This was precisely the power of the Life Creation Art. It could use black threads of creation to control corpses, though such corpses possessed less combat strength than they had in life.

Zhou Qiongtian sneered and did not pause in the slightest. He charged straight at the demonic beast corpse and threw a punch, causing it to explode instantly.

Seeing this, Lin Tian was scared out of his wits. Though the demonic beast was already dead, its physical body was still incredibly tough.

Yet Zhou Qiongtian had blown it apart with a single punch. His physical strength was simply too terrifying—he was practically a humanoid tyrannosaur!

If that punch landed on him, Lin Tian was certain he would share the demonic beast corpse's fate.

With startling thunder beneath his feet, Zhou Qiongtian raced along in a blaze of sparks and lightning. Soon, he was only five meters from Lin Tian. However, Lin Tian knew Azure Flame Valley's terrain far too well, slipping away from Zhou Qiongtian's grasp several times like a loach.

Even so, relying on the terrain had left Lin Tian badly injured. Blood poured continuously from his wounds, gradually turning him into a man of blood.

Not only that, Lin Tian's physical body was constantly collapsing. The Demon God Core's power was too overwhelming; with his current cultivation, he could not sustain the second form for long.

Danger!

Bitterness filled Lin Tian's heart. From beginning to end, he did not understand how he had provoked Zhou Qiongtian. He should not have had any dealings with him in this life!

"Almost there, almost there! Once I get there, I'll be safe!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth. Ignoring the wounds all over his body, he used some unknown secret art, and his speed surged once more, widening the distance from Zhou Qiongtian.

Surprise appeared in Zhou Qiongtian's eyes. This brat still had strength left?

"Faster, even faster!" Lin Tian's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with ferocity.

However, even after Lin Tian increased his speed again, he was still no match for Zhou Qiongtian.

Zhou Qiongtian's eyes transformed into Twin Pupils. In the next instant, a ray carrying an aura of annihilation shot from his eyes.

"Annihilation Light!"

In an instant, the Annihilation Light pierced through Lin Tian. Lin Tian's body stiffened as he sped through the air, astonishment filling his eyes. Carried by inertia, he plunged forward and crashed heavily into the ground.

"Dead?" Zhou Qiongtian frowned. He did not believe Lin Tian had died so easily, nor had he heard the system's notification that the mission was complete.

If an ordinary Eclosion Realm great perfection expert were struck by the Annihilation Light, he truly would have died. But Lin Tian was a Child of Destiny, a man favored by the Heavenly Dao. How could he die so easily?

Ding! Congratulations to the host for forcing Child of Destiny Lin Tian into a desperate situation. Destiny Points +!

The next moment, a sudden change occurred. The entire Azure Flame Valley shook violently, as though an eighteen-magnitude earthquake had struck. Zhou Qiongtian flew into the air and looked down from above, only to find that the terrain within Azure Flame Valley seemed to form a heaven-shaking grand formation!

Zhou Qiongtian exclaimed in amazement. What sort of person had used an entire valley as a formation?

No! Azure Flame Valley was merely one formation eye of this grand formation. This heaven-shaking grand formation was composed of countless formations, and Azure Flame Valley was their core!

Suddenly, the entire formation lit up, and a strand of Law Power emanated from it!

Zhou Qiongtian was greatly alarmed. This was actually the handiwork of a Supreme Realm expert.

A wary look appeared on Zhou Qiongtian's face as his Twin Pupils carefully examined the heaven-shaking grand formation. The Twin Pupils possessed the power to see through falsehood and reality to the essence, but this time Zhou Qiongtian felt excruciating pain in his eyes, and two trails of bloody tears ran down his face.

Zhou Qiongtian immediately stopped activating his Twin Pupils and used the Fortune Sensing Divine Ability on Lin Tian's "corpse."

In Zhou Qiongtian's eyes, Lin Tian's fortune had fallen to less than one-fifth of its peak, yet the remaining fortune was extraordinarily tenacious, like an unquenchable flame that reignited every time it was extinguished.

However, Zhou Qiongtian saw a streak of black within Lin Tian's fortune. This was bad luck!

It seemed this time was a good opportunity!

Zhou Qiongtian's heart settled. No matter what this formation was capable of, he had the protection his father had left behind. Even if the formation had been laid by a Supreme Realm expert, he was confident he could escape.

Zhou Qiongtian immediately used Lightning Step and charged at Lin Tian. No matter what, he would first destroy Lin Tian's physical body and Divine Soul!

Suddenly, the scene before Zhou Qiongtian changed drastically. Where was Lin Tian's figure? Zhou Qiongtian frowned and looked around, only to discover that he was lying beneath a great tree. A gentle breeze brushed across his cheeks, bringing a comfortable sensation.

"Junior Brother Chu, you really came here again. Whenever something troubles you, you always like coming here. Is it because the sect master told you to study Formation Dao and give up the Sword Dao?"

"Sigh! Junior Brother, you are a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of Formation Dao. The sect master is doing this for your own good. I know you like the Sword Dao, but someone must inherit the sect's Formation Dao!"

Zhou Qiongtian turned his head, and a pair of fair, straight, slender legs entered his sight. "So white."

"Junior Brother Chu, what did you say?"

Zhou Qiongtian raised his eyes. Standing beside him was a woman with waterfall-like long hair, eyes gentle as the sea, curved willow-leaf brows, and a smile at the corners of her lips.

This woman was named Ye Xueqi. She had been his childhood sweetheart and had entered the Divine Path Sect at the same time as him. However, her cultivation talent and cultivation were both higher than his, so he had to call Ye Xueqi Senior Sister.

Memories surged forth like an ocean, drowning Zhou Qiongtian. He felt dazed. Was I Zhou Qiongtian of the Zhou Clan, or Chu Tiange of the Divine Path Sect?
