Chapter 1335: Going Against Fate

When he saw the black-and-white cross, Yun Cheng’s face darkened and his gaze became more serious.

He roared into the sky, and at each tip of his three horns, a ball of white light appeared. Then, the three balls of white light left his horns and turned into three pale, white light. They crisscrossed in the void, and then burst open, turning into a grayish-white fog of light.

Under the cover from the fog of light, the continuous space in the void appeared to split in half. This caused Wang Lin’s Bodhi and Demon Heart Imprint to be separated from everything else.

The grey-white fog of light shone with light, and then spun in mid-air. Divine patterns flew in the sky, facing off against the black-and-white cross.

Yun Cheng was a demon in his Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage. While he was weaker than the Zhanming Hades, who battled against the White Tiger Grand Sage, it was still deeply impressive.

As he had fought Wang Lin just now, he was much more careful right now. He calmed himself, and then steeled his resolve. He emptied his heart and mind and cleared all other thoughts from his head. His heart became extremely reactive, and with his demonic powers, he adopted a defensive posture.

With this method, Yun Cheng was able to prevent Wang Lin from breaking through his defenses. Even though some of his demonic powers fell under Wang Lin’s control, he was able to use the remainder of his demonic powers to resist Wang Lin.

Yet, his heart continued to palpitate, and he wanted nothing other than catching Big Luo (who was under E Shen’s protection now) and then sliced him to bits. Doing so would allow him to obtain the body that was formed from the flesh and blood of Kongyuan, as well as retrieve the skeletal remains of the Hades Emperor.

Otherwise, in his impending fight against Wang Lin, an immediate disciple of Lin Feng, he would make it painful for Wang Lin, no matter the consequences.

However, Yun Cheng was able to forcibly suppress these emotions. While he found it hard to accept, Yun Cheng must admit that despite the fact that Wang Lin was only in his Immortal Soul Second Level, he was one of the most powerful human cultivators who had yet to undergo the Alpha Destiny Tribulations.

Under these circumstances, if he were to battle to the death against Wang Lin, he may not defeat him even if he used his true form. Big Luo, who was by the side, may react adversely and unpredictably to any changes to Wang Lin’s state.

Even if he could beat Wang Lin, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. If Big Luo activated the powers of the bone, he would be unable to counter it and it was likely that he would still perish.

The best-case scenario for this battle was Pyrrhic, and even if he did manage to win he would not gain much. As Yun Cheng thought about that, he had a sudden desire to retreat. Subtly, he could feel the odd powers within the black-and-white cross, as well as its profound, unfathomable nature. He took in a deep breath and enveloped Ning Feng with his demonic powers as he tried to escape with him.

As the grayish-white fog of light retreated, the black-and-white cross pressed forward.

Wang Lin stared coldly at the two Hades. From his other eye, another black-and-white cross appeared.

Looking at the situation, Yun Cheng frowned. Around his eyes, there used to be a halo of white light. Earlier, he expended one of it. Right now, he only had one left. Gradually, it went from white to black. A mystical and tyrannical power could be felt from within it.

Wang Lin’s Virtual Entity stood in the void. His eyes, which were like a mirror, reflected the outlines of Yun Cheng and Ning Feng.

He looked calmly at the two Hades and said nothing. His gaze was as deep as a canyon.

As Yun Cheng retreated, he heard Ning Feng say, “Pin him down, and I will take care of Big Luo. We must retrieve the bone of His Imperial Majesty.”

He paused for a while and continued, “If the bone is in our hands, then it will easy to take care of this person!”

As he said that, Ning Feng’s body turned into a ray of green light. Like a gust of wind, he sliced and diced in the air. Then, he lunged toward Big Luo!

This scene shocked Yun Cheng. “Ning Feng, you...”

Wang Lin’s eyes, which formerly appeared as dark as the bottom of a canyon, suddenly burst with blindingly-bright light.

As he noticed that Yun Cheng was trying to stop Ning Feng, Wang Lin made his powers come crashing down on him. Helpless, all Yun Cheng could do was to watch Ning Feng lunging toward Big Luo.

“Die.” Wang Lin’s gaze now landed coldly on Ning Feng. He pointed at his opponent, and the black-and-white cross covered Ning Feng!

The black-and-white light appeared weightless but direction-less, but it appeared impossible for Ning Feng to dodge. Two rays of clear light could be seen, but they appeared otherworldly.

It was not fast, but it seemed to disregard the existence of space in between them. Its speed was indescribable.

When Ning Feng was in the middle of the white light, his heart jolted. “Why did I want to kill Big Luo? Just now, I was under Yun Cheng’s protection. If he wants to kill me, he had to go through Yun Cheng’s defenses first...”

“At that moment, I should have left with Yun Cheng. Attacking Big Luo now is a suicide.”

As this thought surfaced in his mind, Ning Feng was both shocked and terrified. He looked at Wang Lin and noticed that from Wang Lin’s eyes, many different odd rays of light spun non-stop. No one could tell what they were or their purpose.

However, as he looked at that pair of eyes, Ning Feng could only feel random thoughts appearing in his mind. He forcibly suppressed some of these thoughts, forcing himself to forget some of them. However, other thoughts in his mind grew larger and larger. They seemed to have a consciousness of their own, and all he could think that it was natural for him to have these thoughts.

“This feeling... could it be the legendary Ancient Satanic Heart Curse?!” Thoughts rose in Ning Feng’s mind. “No, this can’t be the Ancient Satanic Heart Curse. This also contained elements of the Three Lifetimes Karmic Curse, as well as something else, is that from his own sect?”

“The combination of so many different spells formed this...”

Ning Feng, who had managed to get a grip on himself once more, sought to resist and break free from the black-and-white cross. However, it was useless. His body flowed along the white beam of the cross, and soon reached the intersection between the black and white parts. There, his body changed course and he was brought into the black light.

In the black light, Ning Feng watched as his flesh and blood disintegrated. All of his demonic powers crumbled apart and his immortal Demonic Soul too was on the verge of being destroyed. His life tumbled towards its end, towards destruction!

“Die!”

Wang Lin said in a cold voice. At this moment, all that appeared in Ning Feng’s mind was that one word. That appeared to have determined his fate. He could not change it, nor could he fight it.

It was as if this was the natural outcome of his life.

Even if he did something, they would be mere waves in an ocean. He would still be on this path, and these tiny changes were but mere sceneries in his life.

Wang Lin studied the Two Elements Origins-Returning Scripture and he combined it with his own understanding of the heaven and earth. This was a curse he devised by himself, otherwise known as the Heaven-Defying Life Changing Curse!

With one word, the spell would re-write the will of heaven.

After Wang Lin ascended into the Immortal Soul Second Level and formed his Virtual Entity, this powerful, mysterious spell was further refined and its powers became even more unpredictable.

While one could resist and break free from it, Ning Feng was no longer capable of doing so.

Hence, his Fate was decided by the black-and-white cross.

Regardless what his Fate had been, no one cared anymore. There was only one end here.

Death!

Yun Cheng looked at Ning Feng, whose Fate had been changed by Wang Lin and then killed in an instant, and all he could do was to stare in shock.

This scene was too shocking, to the point of disbelief. Yun Cheng wondered if he were able to kill Ning Feng as easily. While it won’t be hard for him, it would not be as easy as this, even though Ning Feng was wounded.

As he watched his compatriot died in the black light, Yun Cheng suddenly felt an urge to activate the black light in his eye to save Ning Feng. He could not just watch as Wang Lin killed him.

Even if Wang Lin had a spell that could work against Fate itself, which hung over Yun Cheng’s head like a Sword of Damocles, he did not care, as long as he could...

Wait!

Yun Cheng’s heart missed a beat. He thought about Ning Feng’s rash action just now and he realized that he had unconsciously fallen under Wang Lin’s control.

Even though he had been actively trying to empty his mind of all thoughts, Wang Lin still managed to control him.

He looked at Wang Lin’s shining, emotionless eyes and everything became clear to Yun Cheng.

Just now, his desire to retreat was a result of Wang Lin too!

Wang Lin’s actions did not stop here. His impact on Yun Cheng and Ning Feng was different, even though he made a thought dominant in both their minds. However, to Yun Cheng and Ning Feng, one of who wished to escape and one of who wished to fight, the results were obviously different.

What sent a chill down Yun Cheng’s heart was that under Wang Lin’s influence, Yun Cheng, who was the more powerful one, wanted to escape whereas Ning Feng, who was the weaker one, wanted to continue fighting. This seemingly illogical thing actually happened, causing one to feel an intense mismatch.

The result was Ning Feng, who was safe under Yun Cheng’s protection just now, was instantly killed by Wang Lin!

Yun Cheng stared at Wang Lin and his pupils shrunk. “He penetrates through everything and no one can defend against his next move. He did not forcibly take over our mind, but instead, he just amplified one of our existing thoughts. This caused us to fall into his trap unknowingly.”

In a fight between two strong combatants, success and defeat hung on a thin line. A slight, accidental change would affect the outcome of the fight, and a mistake made by a combatant would be even more decisive.

Furthermore, if one’s opponent even knew about this mistake before it was committed, the impact would be even worse.

The black-and-white cross which engulfed Ning Feng disappeared with him into the void, as if he had never existed in the first place.

Wang Lin’s gaze went back to normal and his gaze fell on Yun Cheng once more. His gaze was cold and emotionless as if he was looking at something that was already dead.
