Chapter 1511: Carving Your Fate

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The black sea of fire burned intensely and its heat distorted the world, forming a seal.

Over this 50,000-kilometer-long plain, the seven great worlds from the West Demon Child overlapped, forming seven layers of prisons.

With the enhancement from the sea of fire, it was the strongest ability of this strange authority that the West Demon Child could display now… the Seven Prisons Heavenly Demon Realm.

The sky in this realm was pitch-black.

The land was crimson-red.

The heavenly demon’s flames burned crazily, as though they wanted to burn the bodies and souls of the criminals imprisoned in the realm to death.

West Demon Child sat cross-legged outside the Heavenly Demon Realm and the movements of the heavenly demon phantom behind him were the same as him. It was also sitting cross-legged but its figure was much more illusory.

West Demon Child’s expression was dispirited and his aura was weak. This was the price he had to pay for using the Heavenly Demon Transformation and also the price he had to pay for activating the Seven Prisons Heavenly Demon Realm.

However, at this moment, he didn’t care about these. The only thing he cared about was refining Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was a really troublesome opponent. He felt like he was hitting cotton.

He clearly only needed to bombard the other party a few times to heavily injure him. However, the other party’s figure changed strangely and his agility reached an abnormal level. He could silently appear anywhere in his surroundings.

If that was all, it wouldn’t be so bad. It wasn’t like he didn’t have any defensive methods, but the other party’s dissolving divine art was equally disgusting. Each touch would dissolve his aura, traces, defense, and even his life.

If it was any other time, it wouldn’t matter. However, since his Heavenly Demon Transformation couldn’t be maintained for too long, such a battle style made him feel extremely aggrieved.

His killing intent also continued to intensify.

Hence, he spared no expense and used his trump card. He wanted to erase the other party’s advantage and change the battlefield to a state that was suitable for him.

This was what was happening now.

His demonic qi rumbled and continuously augmented his state. Also, the spear he had thrown into the air earlier landed at this moment and stabbed into the Heavenly Demon Realm.

This caused the refinement of the demon fire in the Heavenly Demon Realm to instantly skyrocket.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, a dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t bother with the red candle on his back devouring the demonic fire in the surroundings crazily, nor did he care that its aura of recovery was becoming increasingly intense.

At that moment, all his attention was focused on the carving knife formed by the divine authority of fate in front of him.

This would be his first time truly displaying the power of his fate divine authority,

After several times of research and the Empress’ guidance, Xu Qing already had a preliminary understanding of his fate divine authority.

He took a deep breath and grabbed with his right hand.

Immediately, the carving knife shook and landed in his hand; it shone with waves of vast and astonishing fluctuations, affecting the surroundings and distorting this world.

The West Demon Child couldn’t see clearly either. Wariness rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and burned his heart blood to increase the speed of refinement.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s expression froze.

His heart stopped beating.

His world turned black and white.

What was black was time, and what was white was space.

Between the black and white were countless gray threads.

This was the fate of all lives.

Xu Qing’s emotions also stopped with his heartbeat and he became extremely calm as though his human nature was gone.

What was left was divinity.

And this divinity held no mercy, no regard for life or death, only a grasp over fate.

“West Demon Child.”

Xu Qing used the might of the divine authority to call out this name.

The moment his voice rang out, the body of the West Demon Child in the outside world trembled. An indescribable palpitation caused his breathing to become hurried.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, as Xu Qing called out, the countless gray threads he saw instantly disappeared, leaving only one floating in front of him.

It continued to distort and magnify. In the end, what appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes was the West Demon Child’s past, present, and future.

The past had already become a mark.

The present was still maturing.

The future was fixed.

Countless scenes about the future of West Demon Child appeared in front of Xu Qing’s eyes. He understood that these futures were all possible.

If it was Purple Green, he would choose one and make the future he chose to be the only one.

However, Xu Qing’s control over fate wasn’t an influence on fixed numbers but the creation of variables.

Hence, he fused his intent into the carving knife in his hand and made the first stroke in front of him.

This stroke required no artistic talent, for whether the drawing resembled anything or not was unimportant. What mattered was what the person wielding the knife at that moment had in their mind.

Xu Qing’s first intent.

“This person must die.”

Hence, the first stroke he carved formed the scene of the West Demon Child’s death.

He died miserably. His head was decapitated and his flesh and blood dried up.

This was the effect.

After that, Xu Qing raised his hand and carved the second intent. He added the cause to this effect.

“His corpse was slashed by the Emperor Sword!”

The carving knife landed and revealed the scene in front of Xu Qing. The Emperor Sword appeared behind the decapitated West Demon Child.

As soon as the scene appeared, Xu Qing’s body trembled and his mind churned. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and the entire Heavenly Demon Realm trembled.

A great terror descended invisibly.

That was a change in fate!

This was because before this, in the countless futures of West Demon Child, although he died, he didn’t die in Xu Qing’s hands, let alone under the Emperor Sword.

These didn’t exist in the first place.

However, now, with the appearance of the scenes imprinted in the gray thread of fate of West Demon Child, his future had gained an additional possibility.

Moreover, it was the only future related to the Emperor Sword.

This meant that as long as the Emperor Sword appeared, West Demon Child’s future could not produce any other possibilities.

This was the power of a god.

This was divine authority!

However, the price was extremely huge.

Just carving these scenes caused Xu Qing’s internal organs to churn and his soul to feel a piercing pain. After he spat out a large mouthful of blood, he seemed to be unable to stop and coughed up seven to eight more times in a row.

His powerful body actually showed signs of weakening.

A feeling of weakness grew from the depths of his soul and spread to his entire sea of consciousness.

However, the secret repository where the Emperor Sword was located in his body… erupted violently.

The repository door that was already open spat out monstrous sword qi.

In the Emperor Sword’s secret repository, the emperor soul fused with the Emperor Sword that had been nurtured until now. As the sword qi rumbled and the sword swayed intensely, it… rushed out.

It leaped through the repository door and the sea of consciousness, passing through the void and rushing out of Xu Qing’s body.

In an instant, the Heavenly Demon Realm swayed. The power of the Emperor Sword suppressed everything and headed straight for the sky of this world.

It was enhanced by the emperor soul and fate. It couldn’t be stopped!

One strike… broke through the realm!

It stabbed toward the West Demon Child whose expression had changed unprecedentedly.

West Demon Child’s mind rumbled and all the flesh in his body seemed to be screaming. The extremely intense sense of danger caused him to retreat abruptly and raise his hand to block it desperately.

He controlled the heavenly demon spear and blasted it at the Emperor Sword.

The instant the sword and spear came into contact, the spear shattered!

Without losing any momentum, the Emperor Sword continued toward the extremely terrified West Demon Child, heading straight for his neck!

Just as it was about to land, at this critical moment of life and death, West Demon Child let out a deep roar. It was a roar that wasn’t willing to be controlled by fate.

An ancient bell suddenly appeared. After enveloping West Demon Child, it came into contact with the Emperor Sword.

There was a loud explosion.

Cracks appeared on the bell but it didn’t shatter.

It blocked the Emperor Sword!

Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the Heavenly Demon Realm, was now vomiting blood continuously, mouthful after mouthful.

This was the price of bearing fate!

The fate he had etched had to be borne by himself. In the process of aligning with this destined trajectory, he had to endure the backlash caused by the opponent’s every action that violated this fate.

If he managed to endure it all, the fate would be established.

If he failed to endure, the fate carving would fail.

He would then have to pay an even heavier price.

Just like the current Xu Qing, his soul had weakened and the cracks that had disappeared from his body had reappeared.

There was ultimately a gap in combat strength between him and West Demon Child.

It was astonishingly difficult to kill him.

As for the West Demon Child in the air, his breathing was hurried at this moment. He stared fixedly at the Emperor Sword outside the bell. After sensing that his ancient treasure had successfully resisted it, his fear finally left.

What followed was coldness.

“You’re not Xue Chenzi!”

“This sword isn’t of my race. This power… shook my fate. This is the power of a god!”

“Your identity…”

A glint of comprehension flashed in West Demon Child’s eyes. After that, ecstasy rose. He could faintly guess Xu Qing’s identity and had doubts about Lu Lingzi as well.

This matter was significant, but for him, even if it ultimately turned out to be a false guess, it would not matter. However, if it proved to be true, he would gain greater merit than on the battlefield!

Hence, he immediately tried to think of a way to leave the battlefield. At the same time, he took out a jade token to transmit this message to his master.

However, just as he moved and took out the jade token, suddenly… a change that wasn’t in his original fate appeared.

The heavenly demon that had been floating behind him, which had formed after he comprehended authority years ago and accompanied him in battles across the lands, suddenly no longer acted in harmony with him.

This was the first time it had acted like this since it was formed.

It lowered its head and looked at the West Demon Child who had his back facing it.

His eyes revealed a hint of greed.

After that, it pounced forward!

At this instant, West Demon Child’s mind rumbled. He didn’t have time to transmit his voice. When he suddenly turned his head, his face was filled with disbelief. He wanted to dodge but it was too late.

The heavenly demon that suddenly rebelled pounced on him.

A mournful wail immediately rang out from West Demon Child’s mouth. He wanted to struggle, counterattack, and suppress it. However, against the heavenly demon which formed from the same source as him and was clearly stronger, these struggles were useless.

He could only allow the heavenly demon to devour crazily in his body.

At that moment, in the Heavenly Demon Realm below, Xu Qing’s face was pale, his body was weak, and his soul was dispirited. However, his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

There were no surprises.

If the gray thread of fate of West Demon Child in front of him was magnified countless times, one could see that the scene of the heavenly demon rebelling also appeared in the fate scene drawn by Xu Qing!

This was because what Xu Qing had carved earlier wasn’t two intents.

There was also another intent.

This thought was the rebellion of the heavenly demon!

Xu Qing was aware of his combat strength. It was too difficult to kill a strong expert like West Demon Child.

However, just because he couldn’t kill him didn’t mean that the other party wouldn’t die.

Hence, the fate of true death he carved for the other party wasn’t the Emperor Sword but the backlash from the heavenly demon!

He was solving the big issue with little effort.

In his first intent, in the scene of the carving, not only was West Demon Child’s head separated from his body, but his body had withered as though his life had been sucked out.

This effect could only be formed in two ways. The Emperor Sword decapitated him and his body withered due the heavenly demon devouring him.

Hence, Xu Qing’s second intent was, “His corpse was slashed by the Emperor Sword.”

What it slashed was the corpse!

This was because Xu Qing couldn’t bear the fate of the Emperor Sword killing West Demon Child by itself.

However, Xu Qing could endure the fate of causing the heavenly demon to rebel.

Hence, after he spat out another mouthful of blood, outside the Heavenly Demon Realm, the screams of the West Demon Child suddenly paused. His body withered and all his life was sucked away by the heavenly demon inside.

This included the bell that blocked the Emperor Sword.

As for the Emperor Sword, after it passed through without any obstruction, the head of the West Demon Child, who had become a corpse, was separated from its body!

This completed Xu Qing’s carved scenes…

Exactly the same!

“The one who killed the West Demon Child wasn’t me.”

“It’s the heavenly demon.”

Xu Qing stood up. The surrounding Heavenly Demon Realm collapsed..
