Chapter 8: Stirring Destiny
"Roar!"

The headless dragon corpse let out mournful howls, and flesh and blood began to grow from its broken neck, as if it was about to grow a new head. However, how could Hengming tolerate Ao Xing coming back to life? With the help of the Fate Weaving Array to amplify the power of fate, waves of inexplicable fluctuations began to spread again.

The inner elixir condensed by Ao Xing was the condensation of icy evil energy. In other words, this was the source of Ao Xing's power. At this moment, this inner elixir was invaded by the power of the earth and began to tremble constantly. An extremely huge pressure emanated from Ao Xing. Ao Mie secretly thought that it was not good, but he could not move at this moment. The magic power in his body was still rioting, pressing him to the bottom of the sea.

"You bastard! You don't practice well on weekdays, yet you dare to unite the Earth and Ice Evil! Now that I have destroyed your worthless life, you actually want me to die with you!"

Ao Mie roared unwillingly, but it was of no avail. He could only watch Ao Xing's body grow bigger and bigger, countless cold waves began to condense, and finally with a shocking explosion, the two dragons died.

Only a yellowish-brown whip slowly floated to the bottom of the sea. If nothing unexpected happened, it might take thousands of epochs for someone with a destiny to find the Mountain-Driving Whip. However, Heng Ming was here, so how could he tolerate a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to sink like this? Naturally, he would accept it with good intentions and unleash its full power in the future, which would not disappoint Ao Xing's last wish.

The destiny aura of Hengming's body has become much thinner at this moment. Obviously, it would be a bit difficult to change the destiny by force, even with his current status, but the ending is good.

The reward from Heaven also traveled through countless time and space and came in front of Hengming. Two golden merits like long snakes kept twisting in front of him, and finally slowly approached Hengming's body, as if wanting to merge into it, but Hengming refused. He just used his magic power to condense a large cauldron and absorbed these merits into it.

"As expected, the cost of forcibly changing fate is too great. If you don't become a Golden Immortal in the future, you must not change fate lightly."

Heng Ming grinned and began to absorb spiritual energy to continuously replenish his own consumption. Just now, he was almost unable to force Ao Xing to self-destruct. Not only would he not gain merit and the Mountain-Driving Whip, but Ao Mie would be able to escape the catastrophe and find a random sea area to rebuild and immediately become a Xuanxian.

The essence of the catastrophe is that these cultivators who only enter and never leave bring too many unnecessary burdens to the prehistoric world, so the Heavenly Dao wants to eliminate them. However, the existence of cultivators is beneficial to the evolution of the laws of the Great Dao, so the Heavenly Dao will not put them in a situation where there is no chance of survival, but leave them a way to survive, which is to respond to disasters and escape the catastrophe.

It is very simple for ordinary cultivators to escape from the catastrophe. All they have to do is return all the spiritual energy they have absorbed from the primitive world to the primitive world. However, it is impossible for cultivators to disperse their own cultivation to make up for this gap. What is the point of practicing? It would be better to be reborn directly. Therefore, they need to use other people's lives to escape from the catastrophe.

Hengming is the sacred innate destiny, which is inherently free from the influence of cause and effect. Therefore, unless one is willing or someone plots against one, one will not fall into the calamity.

Ao Xing and Ao Mie are both immortals. Although Ao Mie's cultivation is deeper, the dragon clan's luck will also bear part of the cause and effect of the calamity for him. So as long as he kills Ao Xing, it will be enough for him to escape the calamity and get peace and freedom. The Mountain-Driving Whip is his reward.

It was for this reason that Hengming would take action to blow them both to death. Those inexplicable trajectories were the power of fate. Hengming manipulated fate, making them destined to die here. The way they died was that Ao Xing self-destructed and Ao Mie was finally blown to death. Even if Zulong made a move to calculate, he could only get this secret.

But destiny is not fate. If you make a mistake, it will easily turn a disaster into a blessing for others, so you must be extremely careful. "With my current cultivation level of a half-step golden immortal, I almost failed to use destiny to kill two immortals. It can be seen that the power of destiny itself is not used for killing, or it is not good at killing, but it achieves its own goals through various arrangements, using small things to defeat big things, and using points to break through the surface--"

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Even if Hengming has the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, which can help him understand the laws of destiny, no matter how much he understands, it is not as good as experiencing it personally.

Countless hidden insights flooded into Hengming's heart, and the originally faint aura of destiny began to gradually become stronger, and even some human figures could be seen.

A bit of immortal golden nature began to condense, and Hengming could even feel that eternal life was right in front of him, within reach. But in the end, this bit of immortal golden nature could not be completely condensed, and after shaking, it dispersed back into Hengming's body.

Heng Ming could only shake his head and said, "It seems that the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity is not destined to be the time for me to be born. This Calamity is ultimately a war between Hongjun and others."

As a great god born by fate, Hengming can sense the direction of the future a little, and can even vaguely perceive how many great gods have been born.

"Hongjun, Luohou, Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shiqilin, the legendary Yangmei seems to have been born, Shenni is dead, but I can sense that there are nine immortal divine lights shining. In addition to these six, who are the other three innate gods?"

Heng Ming frowned and sensed carefully, but in the end he still couldn't figure out who the last three gods were, because one was the beginning and nine was the extreme. If the great gods of the prehistoric world did not appear in the world, it would be fine. Once they appeared in the world, they would definitely follow some mysterious laws and also correspond to some mysterious great worlds.
If Hengming was born at the same time as innate gods like Zulong, he may not be on par with Hongjun and Rahu, but he would at least be on the same level as Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shiqilin, the three patriarchs of the three founding tribes.

It's just that now is not the time for him to be born, so even if he can condense the immortal golden nature, Hengming cannot transform. Not only him, Hengming guessed that the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and other top-level innate sacred beings might have woken up long ago, but were restricted by certain rules, so they could only spy in secret and could not come out to fight.

After careful calculations, Hengming found that he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up. The innate great god had strong luck, and his ability to shield the secrets of heaven was much higher than that of the innate spiritual treasure, so even if he was the god corresponding to fate, he couldn't figure it out.

“Forget it. Since there is no way to figure out the remaining three innate gods, I might as well continue to manipulate fate here and see if I can kill some of the people who are destined to be calamities.”

Not to mention that Hengming is far above the North Sea and is controlling fate, but at this moment he is above the Dragon Palace in the Four Seas.

Countless powerful dragons have gathered from the four seas and arrived at the Dragon Palace located in the center of the four seas. There are countless dragon palaces of the dragon clan, but there is only one dragon palace that all the powerful dragons come to like a pilgrimage, and that is the Ancestral Dragon Palace.
