A Single Battle Makes His Name Known Throughout the World

--There will be another update tonight, making up for Monday's missed update. I originally wanted to say around ten, but weighing the pace of the recent chapters, everyone should probably read it tomorrow morning.

Witnessing this scene, all the Heavenly Sovereigns in the great hall stared at Shi Jingren in astonishment. Those who did not know what this tribulation was found it strange that True Lord Yuntu had somehow become friendly with Shen Chenxi without revealing the slightest hint beforehand. Those who knew something of Shen Chenxi's cultivation methods and origins recalled what Shi Jingren had said when Shi Xuan appeared in the first round, and secretly marveled that the two truly bore a life-and-death enmity. As for Meng Nishang, Shen Yimo, and Yi Tuan, they inferred the general nature of the tribulation Shen Chenxi had unleashed from the relationship between the two.

Under the weight of countless gazes, Shi Jingren's expression remained unchanged. He wore a gentle smile as he played with his wine cup. He merely sensed that something was borrowing his power through a karmic connection, yet it did not sever that karma. He allowed it to borrow freely, intending to use this chance to see what other methods Shi Xuan possessed.

Behind Shen Chenxi, Shi Jingren's illusory figure materialized. Its Primordial Spirit was transparent, and the Gate of Fate manifested as its Immortal Awareness spoke: "Everything is arranged by fate. Fleeing is fate, changing is fate, and the fact that your sword cannot strike me is also fate!"

The dim white sword light had already touched the immortal robe formed from Shen Chenxi's protective divine radiance amid the sparse stars and bright moon. Yet as the Minor Destiny Art was cast, the sword light—piercing at high speed and freezing all things—came to an abrupt halt.
