My Fate is Supreme

The second time Yun Ye appeared, he had already withdrawn from the Reversed Liberation state. He could not maintain it for even a minute. It seemed the power of the Great Calamity Imprint came with an equally great price.

"Did I see it wrong...?"

Yun Ye confirmed the existence of the thick fog.

In Netherworld Hell, he had already seen the thick fog through the Moon Reflection Treasure Ring.

But before confirming the existence of the thick fog in the outside world, he still could not help clinging to a sliver of hope.

This was the simplest possible way to deal with him.

But unfortunately.

He was truly useful.

Although the Celestial Phenomenon did not rely on the eyes for targeting, its principles were the same: it relied on light.

Now the path had been completely blocked. Even if Halo Fire could be transformed into Unique Halo Fire and gain extremely powerful penetrative ability,

this was thick fog created by a Dharma Realm cultivator. With such a vast difference in spiritual energy levels, it was fundamentally impossible for it to take effect. It was equivalent to directly sealing the Celestial Phenomenon.

This was the limitation of a single power. If it could not target anything, then even the most powerful weapon was meaningless.

Before launching his attack, Yun Ye had already known that these Dharma Realm cultivators would discover the principles behind the Celestial Phenomenon's attacks sooner or later.

Finding this out only after killing the second one meant the result was already not bad.

Dharma Realm cultivators were not weeds growing everywhere.

Yun Ye continued dragging Tian Jing into Netherworld Hell.

This time, no attack descended, because the entire battle in White Stone Town was focused on killing the Flame Fate Kite with all their strength.

"Caw!"

The Flame Fate Kite kept spitting blood, its strength rapidly draining away, leaving it with little power to fight back.

Because of Ji Yan's death, it had grown from five tail feathers to seven, but in these brief seven seconds, it had consumed another one.

Killing it was no longer difficult.

And during this short interval, Yun Ye had already carried the Moon Reflection Treasure Ring and successfully reunited with everyone, appearing directly in the middle of the formation out of thin air.

Within Netherworld Hell, accelerating was far too easy. It could also disregard terrain and travel at extreme speed.

Its speed was utterly incomparable to that in the material world.

"Ah! Tian Jing! You're here!"

Yang Shu and the others tensed for an instant, but immediately relaxed again.

"Everything's ready, right?" Yun Ye said.

"Of course."

Yang Shu, Tong Huoyang, Ning Xiao, and the others all nodded. After Tian Jing, who had come with Yun Ye, received the formation flag, he also silently merged into the formation.

Yun Ye swept his gaze over the thirty-six people present and saw quite a number of young faces.

The Tomorrow Society had had too little time to develop. These thirty-six people were all the personnel capable of fighting.

They had spent more than a year coordinating with one another, doing their utmost to master the formation, and had devoted nearly all their time to it.

As a result, every other area of research had stagnated. Only the formation had advanced slowly.

For the Tomorrow Society, which was desperately short-handed, even Tong Huoyang and Tian Jing, who possessed Dao Artifacts, had to join the battle. Otherwise, the formation would not have enough experienced controllers.

Most of the members participating in the formation had awakened their spirit roots for no more than a year. They were not proficient in controlling spiritual energy, let alone capable of becoming controllers of the grand formation.

Yang Shu, Tong Huoyang, Ning Xiao, and the others all had at least five years of experience. That was their greatest advantage. Having them control the grand formation could barely ensure that it operated properly.

Only Tian Jing was an exception. He learned far too quickly and soon caught up with Huoyang and the others. Yun Ye had appointed him the third primary controller of the formation, while Ning Xiao and the other veterans served as substitutes.

"Everyone, under normal circumstances, I should have sent one Dao Artifact Wielder away to preserve a spark, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to give up on that."

"We're opening up a path forward. During this period, no one is especially important—not even a Dao Artifact Wielder. Only when the leader leads by example can the followers be fearless."

Yun Ye was not good at rousing people. He merely shouted, "So, I've decided that we'll settle the victor in one battle. We'll send only the young members elsewhere. Either we live..."

"Or we die!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Every young face was filled with resolve.

The young teacher, Xiao Yu.

The man who had discussed countless artifact-forging problems with Yun Ye, Qu Wang.

And countless other living, breathing people.

They were merely mortals who had just awakened their spirit roots. Compared to White Stone Town, they were as fragile as thin paper, yet they had still stepped forward to fight for the future of the Tomorrow Society.

Yun Ye nodded heavily. The correctness of the Tomorrow Society's ideals was beyond doubt. Although they went against intuition and were difficult to understand at first, after prolonged study, the rewards they brought would be immense.

Their convictions grew stronger because they believed. That was good—very good indeed, at least as a beginning.

And what Yun Ye needed to do was preserve this conviction!

When the drumbeat began, the momentum soared; after the second beat, it weakened; after the third, it was exhausted!

A series of continuous failures would reduce this conviction to dead silence. Whether it was White Stone Town or any other town, a battle was inevitable. Only then could the Tomorrow Society's theories truly break free from empty speculation and enter the stage of practice.

(What a pity... My wisdom wasn't enough to see this future. I should never have chosen the period of the Great Calamity. This is a seemingly perfect yet actually fatal trap.)

(Now, the only thing I can do is receive the "inheritance" ahead of time!)

Yun Ye closed and opened his eyes, completely clearing away his distracting thoughts. He raised the Array Disks. Samadhi True Fire spread out, transforming into a ghostly light that enveloped everyone, sending them all into the bizarre and fantastical Netherworld Hell.

"Set out!"

Ji Chongtian, Ji Qing, Liu Quan, and Liu Jianxin stood towering in the sky. The killing formation activated from these four corners, revealing countless cutting lines that left the Flame Fate Kite almost nowhere to flee, killing it again and again.

But with the Destined Divine Power in its grasp, a momentary defeat meant nothing. The Flame Fate Kite could start over countless times.

Although the killing formation was remarkably effective, it happened to be countered by the Flame Fate Kite.

If it had been any other great calamity possessing resurrection or regenerative abilities, it would likely have been ground away by the formation's sharp aura. This killing formation was specifically designed to target demons' resurrection or regenerative abilities.

During the battle, the Flame Fate Kite grew once more. Ji Yan's death had allowed it to devour more fate and reach the basic conditions.

This time, the Flame Fate Kite did not alter the destined fates of Ji Chongtian and the others. Instead, it modified its own...

Its inherently deficient destiny!

After Yun Ye had taken five Great Calamity Imprints from it, this projection possessed only one Destined Divine Power.

Although its immunity to fire had not vanished because it was an innate physical constitution, its most crucial fire divine power could no longer be used.

Throughout this period of battle, it had fought entirely by relying on calamity power, without incorporating any elemental force.

Going from having no element to having an element was equivalent to going from mortal to transcendent—the first qualitative transformation in energy utilization. A great calamity without an element would lose nine-tenths of its strength for no reason!

The Flame Fate Kite soared through the air. In the eyes of Ji Chongtian and the others, it was merely making a desperate struggle without rhyme or reason.

But in reality, on the level of causality, the Flame Fate Kite had already completed the closed loop, eliminating all other possibilities from its own "cause and effect."

Of the six remaining tail feathers, three shattered.

"Not good!"

Everyone's expressions changed. Defying heaven and altering fate only consumed one tail feather. To damage three in one breath—what was it trying to do?!

However, they could not stop it.

Some great calamity divine power.

Was activated just like that.

The Flame Fate Kite made no sound, yet everyone's ears—including those of the Tomorrow Society members within the formation—suddenly heard a voice. More precisely... it could not be called a voice, because it had no distinguishing quality and no substance.

It was a voice welling up from the depths of the heart, the echo of the Great Dao!

"My Fate is Supreme!"
