Chapter 688 More Than Just

Outside the barrier, Emperor Yu Tian was utterly dumbfounded.Are there such monsters in the mortal realm? To cultivate the Dao of Cause and Effect to such an absurd degree?Those strangely patterned lucky cards were continuously taking effect.Within the formation, Li An and the two people he embraced were bathed in black sword light, completely unharmed.The sound of air being torn apart was ear-piercing, and sword light filled the sky, almost covering the entire space of the barrier. Zuo Tianxing's gaze was coldly fixed on Li An; he hadn't deliberately missed.It was impossible to hit!It was as if a goddess of fortune stood behind Li An, mocking the sword's incompetence.Inside the barrier.Li An stared at all of this, utterly shocked.He hadn't done anything, yet the opponent simply couldn't hit him.Ninety-nine percent of the power couldn't penetrate the barrier to help him, but the power of cause and effect could.Is this what Master Tianming had prepared?Li An was able to repeatedly evade assassination attempts and the Zuo Clan's manipulation because Master Tianming had foreseen this event years ago."The Zuo Clan will target you in the future. That clan is known for its cunning, so be careful after the Immortal Realm War ends. Anything that seems amiss could be part of the Zuo Clan's scheme.""Don't believe them, don't respond. That way, you won't be manipulated by the Zuo Clan. But you can play along, because I'll have countermeasures ready." With absolute trust in Master Tianming, Li An had come this far, standing outside the barrier that even the fourteenth heaven couldn't break.To be honest, there was a moment of despair.It wasn't that he didn't trust Master Tianming.But he was surrounded by a chaotic structure that no human powerhouse could break, and the one attacking him from within the barrier was the genuine Zuo Clan's Grand Preceptor, a Heavenly Sealed figure.How could he survive such a deadly trap?He never expected it.By luck.Amidst the whistling black blade light.Li An lowered his head.Yao Yan clung tightly to his chest, trembling all over. Though the man before her possessed an incredibly broad chest, the power of the Extinction Blade was genuinely terrifying, as if a ghost lurked behind her. She dared not open her eyes, let alone turn around.At this moment, she had no idea that she would spend the rest of her life remembering these moments.Suddenly, the blade's light faded.Li An stared at Zuo Tianxing, who was looking at the Red Witch on the windowsill.Clearly visible was that the Witch's deck of cards was empty, with only one card remaining."Even if you drew all your causal power into lucky cards, you couldn't change his fate." Zuo Tianxing said expressionlessly, "Because the gap between you and me is too great. The one standing here should be Zhuge Tianming." With that, Zuo Tianxing casually swung his black blade, a fleeting flash of light slashing towards Li An.Li An looked up at the second floor of the ancestral home.The Red Witch's languid demeanor remained unchanged; she showed no sign of tension.She casually flipped the last card in the deck and whispered, "Make your move." Yu Jingnian, already prepared, unleashed his full power, slamming the Heaven-Turning Seal directly above Li An!A deafening sound rang out!"Boom!" The moment the Heaven-Turning Seal struck the barrier, colorful light surged violently.Zuo Tianxing's eyes narrowed slightly.There are only two ways to break the chaotic structure.A king's intervention, or an internal and external clash.There is currently no king in the mortal realm.Li An also lacks the power to damage the chaotic structure.Therefore, in Zuo's plan, Li An was doomed, until this moment when the Red Witch's last card was face up.It wasn't a lucky card!The symbol on the card was two reversed arrows!She curled her lip in a mocking smile, "Reversal card, in effect." The instant the card burned out, the black blades that had been deflected by causal forces all flew back from the barrier, slashing towards Zuo Tianxing!A flash of black light appeared in Zuo Tianxing's eyes, and he scoffed, "A clever trick."At that moment, he raised his right hand.Sequence Zero, Dark God.A dark law capable of devouring all things erupted from Zuo Tianxing's palm. The night would engulf the blades flying back towards him, and ultimately, all the blades and Li An would be assimilated by the darkness and disappear, without touching the outer barrier in the slightest.A direct confrontation was impossible.But Zuo Tianxing never expected that there was another person inside the barrier.To be precise, a plant.It was the ancient tree that had accompanied the Li family since childhood, growing here before this ancestral home was built.Now, the branches severed by Zuo Tianxing in his anger coalesced into a solemn figure.The opponent's palm was as rough as a withered branch—that was Zuo Tianxing's first impression.Why this feeling?Because this suddenly appearing, serious man's fingers were connected to his.It was absurd.Before Zuo Tianxing's dark laws erupted from his palm, the man formed from the branch raised his right hand to meet his, then gently bent his five fingers, as if covering the muzzle of a cannon with his palm.But the cannon's power wouldn't disappear; this unexpected man would absorb all the damage from Zuo Tianxing's attack.But it didn't matter.Zuo Tianxing had completely lost his composure.Because he knew that the chaotic structure would be broken, and the man before him wouldn't die, because his name was Kurosawa Ichi, his talent was damage transfer, and his true form was a tree.Kurosawa Ichi's palm absorbed the full force of Zuo Tianxing's attack; this power flowed down his arm into his torso, ultimately converging into his legs standing on the ground, all directed towards the earth.The soil couldn't withstand this level of attack; ultimately, all the damage would collide with the Chaos Barrier, creating a clash with Yu Jingnian's attack from above.On this day.The people of Dao Shi City thought the end of the world had arrived.Suddenly, the world darkened.A pillar of light shot into the sky from Li Zun's ancestral home, followed by a deafening roar. A massive tsunami of laws surged in all directions, yet harmed no one.Because the mastermind behind all this had arrived as promised. He was clad in five-colored divine light, his eyes flashing with white crosses. The fate of all things in the world churned within those eyes, while the massive energy tsunami was annihilated by the reverse-flowing five-colored divine light.At the center of the battlefield.The Feathered World enveloped Zuo Tianxing.Zuo Tianxing reacted extremely quickly, immediately unleashing his power to forcefully break free.But suddenly, he felt his long, straight black hair being violently pulled up.A wave of pain washed over him.He turned furiously to meet Zhuge Tianming's gaze.The two were very close, yet Zhuge Tianming's voice remained gentle."I heard you were looking for me?" Zuo Tianxing's lips trembled slightly; he immediately understood."Recently, the heavenly secrets have remained unchanged, and you haven't performed any divinations.""Why?"Zhuge Tianming replied generously, "I divined it a year ago.""You forcibly divined Li An's calamity a year ago!?" Zuo Tianxing's pupils suddenly contracted."More than that." Zhuge Tianming shook his head.
