Chapter 905 - 400: Unalterable Fate (3)

This time it didn’t mock or ridicule but instead proposed an incredibly tempting offer, one that even others believed was, from a rational point of view, the best choice currently.

"As long as the green hills are here, there’s no fear of running out of firewood," Chu Xiu still has a second chance to challenge, but if the energy core is destroyed here, his future could be completely severed!

However, under everyone’s gaze, Chu Xiu just silently wiped the blood from his face.

He knew that if the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was truly confident, it wouldn’t waste any words and would have immediately used this rule to kill him.

There must be a flaw he hasn’t realized yet!

But what is that flaw?

Direct attacks, severing connections, even analyzing the rule have been tried, but all in vain!

Chu Xiu quickly recalled the various characteristics of the rules provided to him by Zhu Jiu and Xie Xuanzhao.

But this information was too superficial, and the several methods it contained for dealing with rules could only cope with low-level rules, which Chu Xiu had already attempted against the Celestial Demon with futile results.

And the means he developed himself had no application in the unseen and intangible realm of destiny either.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized a problem.

"Whether it’s information about the rules or methods I’ve explored to analyze and counteract the rules, all of that happened after I entered the trial!"

The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation shouldn’t know about these things, and since the opponent didn’t immediately attack him with the Law of Destiny, there must be some other uncertainty.

What is this uncertainty?

Very clearly, Chu Xiu immediately thought of it—this uncertainty is the other Civilization Envoys!

This characteristic could be seen from the sequence of Tribulation Thunder launched by the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation; each tribulation was executed after the corresponding rule holder among the Civilization Envoys had been restrained.

This was also very evident in previous battles; for example, its Law of Transformation could overpower Chu Xiu, but it was completely restrained by Mao Qi.

"But hasn’t Xie Xuanzhao already been killed by it?"

"Wait."

"Is Xie Xuanzhao really dead?"

A Civilization Envoy from a Tenth-level Civilization, possessing the most mysterious Law of Destiny, and whose teacher even participated in researching the tribulation, would he not have any life-saving aces up his sleeve?

At this thought, Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense quickly scanned the location where Xie Xuanzhao was supposedly "killed," meticulously sweeping through every inch of space, and suddenly sensed something, a smile appeared on his face.

"So that’s it."

He suddenly spread his hand wide, a few strands of Demonic Qi transformed into long spears that precisely shot at several spots in the void!

As if a certain array had been broken, the space there vibrated intensely! The next moment, a girl hugging her knees, seemingly in a slumber, appeared.

It was Xie Xuanzhao!

At this moment, a layer of milky white aura surrounded her, making her seem like a Saintess descended from the celestial realm, filled with a sacred, inviolable presence.

This unexpected scene left everyone frozen in place, the face of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation turning suddenly grim, while Zhu Jiu and Mao Qi were shocked, exclaiming in unison, "Is this the Blessing of Destiny?"

Although Chu Xiu did not know what the Blessing of Destiny was, he could roughly guess that it was some kind of automatic defense from Xie Xuanzhao.

For a Civilization Envoy like her, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation didn’t have the ability to kill her instantly! Otherwise, it would have already launched a pinpoint assassination.

If Chu Xiu guessed correctly, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation should have used some means to temporarily put Xie Xuanzhao into a sleep-like state and set up a concealed array nearby to fake her death.

And this array, no stranger to Chu Xiu, was the very one used to hide the Tribulation Transformation Divine Artifact! This array was extremely intricate; without the guidance of the tribulation, even a quick scan with Divine Sense would easily miss it—the opponent pulled a trick right under his nose!

And as the surrounding arrays were dismantled, Xie Xuanzhao slowly opened her eyes, her slender lashes fluttering over her black pupils as a flash of confusion passed briefly, then quickly transformed into a look of understanding.

"I was momentarily careless and fell for the villain’s plot. I hope everyone doesn’t blame me."

"What is the current situation?"

"We will discuss this later," Mao Qi said urgently. "Miss Xuanzhao, please tell us quickly, what exactly is the principle behind the Law of Destiny, is there a way to break it, and does the future depicted in that painting really cannot be changed?"
