Chapter 1749: No Escape
voice laced with anger."This man wants to cross us and seize the energy source! Attack target priority!" The modified human ordered.The remaining seven cyborgs chorused their agreement, simultaneously...“You will also be confined to a certain realm. No matter how hard you try, you will be unable to break through. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you can only stay in that realm forever and never break through!” Zhenxing Tianzun spat blood as he roared, “And the Yuhua Gate… no matter how many prodigiously gifted disciples you attract, they will ultimately be ruined for various reasons and become ordinary people!”
“This was destined to happen long ago! It was predetermined from the time when the Overlord Saint Zun dominated the world! From that day on, your Huazimen's good fortune was emptied, and all that awaits you is endless misfortune!”
Zhenxing Tianzun became increasingly agitated, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.
At this point, most of his cultivation had been absorbed by Fang Yu, leaving only one-third.
Fang Yu frowned.
Although Zhenxing Tianzun's words sounded hysterical and insane, a careful listen revealed a clear meaning.
He was talking about the Yu Hua Sect, but he was also really talking about his own experiences and those of the Jiu Xing Tian Men. He was answering why he couldn't break through to the Transcendence Realm.
And from his words, one can glean a key point.
Good fortune.
Zhen Xing Tianzun meant that the reason he couldn't break through to the Transcendent Realm, and the reason why Jiu Xing Tianmen hadn't produced any prodigies for so many years, was because their good fortune had been stolen.
As for who took away the good fortune... that would be the one who ascended to immortality, the Nine Star Venerable.
Though Zhenxing Tianzun didn't say anything bad about the Nine Star Venerable on the surface, his tone betrayed madness, unwillingness, and resentment. It was clear he harbored immense displeasure towards the Nine Star Venerable.
And this discontent has been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"So, what he means is... a celestial ascension realm would take away an entire sect's fortune" Fang Yu furrowed his brow, looking at the Zenith Star Venerable before him.
The life essence of Zhenxing Tianzun is rapidly fading.
"Who told you this How do you know your luck has been taken away" Fang Yu asked.
"Hehehe…" Zhēnxīng Tiānzhūn didn't speak, only bowed his head and let out a chuckle. "You will eventually understand how I feel... Then you will naturally know what it means to have one's fortune broken!"
“Ah…”
At this point, Zhen Xing Tianzun let out a roar of anger.
He suddenly looked up and grabbed Fang Yu's arm with his left hand.
In that instant, the last vestiges of his cultivation power within him suddenly compressed.
...and then...it exploded.
"
Boom..."
Within the Nine-Star Heavenly Gate, another earth-shattering roar echoed.
Lights shimmer in the air, power radiating outward.
The ground shook violently.
The eight elders who saw this scene turned pale, and several of them cried out in grief.
They knew what that blast meant.
It means...the Heavenly Venerable severed his cultivation and blew himself up!
...of the same era as the revered Saint, Jiu Xing Zun... in the end, he too has perished.
Eight elders looked up at the empty space, heartbroken.
However, their sorrow was quickly replaced by fear.
Because, after the light dissipated, they saw... Fang Yu's figure, still standing in mid-air, unharmed!
The end is here! This is the end of Jiuxing Tianmen!
Eight elders' hearts pounded violently, already despairing.
In the air, Fang Yu stood still, still pondering the words of Zhenxing Tianzun.
As for the previous self-explosion, it was nothing to him, not even an itch.
"Hey, Li Huoyu, do you know what's going on here" Fang Yu asked in his mind.
"...That's strange, I've never heard that before," Lì Huòyù replied.
"To achieve the Immortal Realm, one would exhaust an entire sect's fortune" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, a hint of doubt in his heart. "It feels unreasonable, but the situation with Zhenxing Tianzun... is the best proof."
He indeed remained at the peak of the Wuhuajing realm with extraordinary skill. Moreover, according to the Elder's words, the Jiuxing Tianmen hasn't produced a prodigy in a very long time.
"Even if what you say is true, it doesn't prove his point," Li Huoyu said. "Good fortune is such a vague and elusive thing, hard to define."
But in my opinion, luck usually involves individuals and rarely affects a large group of people because of one person.
But...
Li Huo Yu stopped speaking.
Fang Yu frowned and asked, "But what"
"It's nothing. I just think what he said isn't reliable," Li Huoyu said. "It's probably just wishful thinking. There are many reasons why one can't break through to the realm of Enlightenment, and there are even more factors that can prevent a sect from producing prodigies. Why would you attribute it all to luck"
“That’s right. It’s precisely because of this that the Zhenxing Tianzun insisted that the root cause of these events was the theft of qiyun… which is definitely worth pondering.” Fang Yu raised his left eyebrow and said, “Think about it, the Jiuxing Venerable was his former boss, their relationship couldn’t have been bad… But the hatred he showed just now was genuine. After all, he’s about to die, there’s no need to pretend.”
If he didn't have solid evidence, why would he hate his former boss so much
"That's hard to say. It's quite normal for a cultivator's psyche to become twisted when their cultivation stagnates for a long time..." Li Huo Yu mumbled.
Fang Yu listened, his brow furrowed, and said: "Are you implying something to me"
Li Huo Yu remained silent.
"Swish swish swish..."
Fang Yu originally wanted to chat with Lihuo Yu for a few more sentences, but at this moment, he sensed the flow of energy around him, and his attention immediately shifted back.
The remaining eight elders of the Nine Star Gate have already fled.
They didn't want anything, they needed nothing. There was only one thought in their minds: to survive!
However, such a thought was naturally just wishful thinking.
"Bang!"
Fang Yu stood still, but his body was enveloped in a burst of blue light.
A frigid chill instantly enveloped the entire Nine Star Heavenly Gate!
"Click click click..."
The entire Nine Star Heavenly Gate seemed to have become a massive ice block!
Only then did Fang Yu leisurely set off, flying to the front of the eight elders who had already escaped hundreds of meters. He cast the Soul Devouring Technique on them.
Except for the Star Lord who is at the Enlightenment Realm, the other seven are at the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Fang Yu treated them equally, absorbing their cultivation bases completely.
These elders were unable to move, and could only watch in despair as Fang Yu, with a smile on his face, stood before them.
To them, Fang Yu at this time was as terrifying as a mythical creature from ancient times.
After absorbing the cultivation bases of the eight elders, Fang Yu flew towards the eight towering Stargazing Towers.
Although the Zhēnxīng Tiānzūn absorbed a considerable amount of mana, the mana reserves within the eight Wàngxīng Tǎ were still substantial.
Fang Yu stepped forward and continued to perform the Devouring Soul Technique, absorbing one spiritual energy after another.
Once the magical energy within the observatory was fully absorbed, the entire structure began to crack and slowly crumble.
Fang Yu simply reached out and helped, knocking down each stargazing tower.
Thus, the iconic structures within Jiuxing Tianmen… nine celestial observation towers collapsed one after another, becoming a vast expanse of gray-white ruins.
A once-powerful first-grade immortal sect, now reduced to a second-rate one... Just like that.
