Chapter 2576 The First Contact between Fate and Time

Dark particles of light were falling, and the graceful and slender figure that appeared was like a dream. She was still wearing her usual black robe with the brim of her hat covering her face. Between her slender and crystal-like fingers, she held the white bone spear that glittered with starlight.

Her aura was as quiet and mysterious as before. It wasXia Zhi!

Many years ago, in the Celestial Phoenix World, she had fallen into a deep hibernation. At that time, she was worried that she was too weak and had become a burden to Lin Xun, which was intolerable to her. She had never wanted to, and could never tolerate herself standing behind Lin Xun and becoming the one being protected.

Since then, she had been sleeping in Lin Xun's True Self Emperor World. After all, treasures may be lost or pulverized, but unless he, Lin Xun, died, there was no way his True Self Emperor World could be destroyed!

However, Lin Xun did not expect that the disaster he had encountered today would awaken Xia Zhi, causing her to come out of her hibernation session and appear in front of him again. An indescribable sense of guilt and anxiety surged into his heart, causing him to shout almost immediately, “Leave, quickly leave!"

The power of Evil God Dishen had made even Fourth Senior Brother Ling Xuanzi wary. This was definitely a terrifying existence who could threaten Immortals. Lin Xun never wanted to see her die just because she had been implicated by him!

"Lin Xun, I have changed."

Xia Zhi stood in front of Lin Xun, her slender figure motionless, acting like a wall. Her clear voice was like the sound of nature, revealing calmness and composure.

"What's changed, and do you know who he is?" Lin Xun asked decisively.

As he said that, he looked at Evil God Dishen, "Let her go, and I will immediately give you the Jade Disk of Fortune and the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree. Otherwise, I promise to destroy these two treasures immediately!"

His expression was firm and ruthless. In Xia Zhi's world, there was only room for him, Lin Xun. On the other hand, in his heart, her life was more important than anything else in the world!

What Jade Disk of Fortune or Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree? As long as Xia Zhi was alive, he, Lin Xun, would not frown even if he died now.

After witnessing this exchange, Evil God Dishen, with a strange look on his face, asked, "Is it worth doing that for a mere woman?"

"Enough nonsense, I just ask if you agree or not!" Lin Xun's face was cold, and he walked forward, trying to protect the woman behind him.

To his surprise, Xia Zhi held the spear in her hand horizontally, blocking him and not allowing him to move forward. She said calmly, "You can't beat me now. If you dare to move forward again, I will suppress you."

Lin Xun widened his eyes and almost laughed out of anger.

Is this girl crazy?! Not that many years have passed, yet she still dares to talk to me like this?

"She is right. Compared to you, she has a threatening aura that I can't figure out. Otherwise, do you really believe that I would have just allowed you two to flirt under my nose?"

Evil God Dishen gazed at Lin Xun with contempt.

Lin Xun was startled and looked at her again. After calming down, he found that Xia Zhi's aura was now obscure and cold, mysterious and unpredictable. He couldn't even see through her. This was quite unusual.

Could it be that during these years of silent hibernation, Xia Zhi's cultivation had become so profound that even he couldn’t understand it? Unbelievable!

"Interesting, your cultivation has not reached the immortal realm, but the power in you makes me feel an invisible threat. Is there an unknown forbidden power lurking in you?"

Evil God Dishen stared at Xia Zhi, his eyes flashing with strange light, as if he wanted to see through the secrets of her body and mind.

Clang!

Without hesitation, Xia Zhi waved her spear and stabbed out. It was a simple and straightforward attack. The spear with starlight flowing around it seemed to be able to pierce the sky, sharp and swift.

In front of Evil God Dishen, a series of immortal laws emerged and condensed into a sword to block.

Clang!

The collision between the two was like thunder, and a violent wave of destruction emerged in the nearby space. Amid the turbulent splashes, Xia Zhi staggered back several steps, but while retreating, she continued to keep Lin Xun firmly behind her.

"Oh, as expected, this little bit of skill is not enough! I really want to see what kind of power you have that can threaten me!"

Evil God Dishen stepped forward, his sleeves fluttering. Countless immortal laws emerged, turning into shining immortal swords. Unpredictable mysteries lingered around each sword, so powerful that it was unprecedented and unparalleled, enough to make even Immortals afraid.

Lin Xun had no doubt at all that if it were him, he would not be able to block a single strike at all. All of this proved that what Fourth Senior Brother said in the past was right. The biggest threat was not the Immortals of the four clans under Donghuang, nor the Immortals from the Eighth Heaven Domain.

Instead, it was Evil God Dishen!

Clang!

Xia Zhi's black robe fluttered, and the spear in her hand was surging. In an instant, countless lights and shadows were pierced out, like a torrent of starlight, covering the sky and the earth.

That kind of power was far less powerful than what Evil God Dishen was handling, but Lin Xun keenly noticed that her attacks carried a trace of an obscure and mysterious taboo aura. It was a mysterious power beyond imagination, like an unfathomable taboo. Therefore, her attacks were covered with a completely unique threatening aura.

Boom!

The cosmos rolled, and a battle torrent like a landslide and tsunami swept and spread out. Ancient stars were instantly pulverized into powder and dissipated into nothingness. Lin Xun was shielded behind Xia Zhi. Although he had not been hit by the aftershocks, he felt suffocated just witnessing it.

Puff!

In the resulting dust, Xia Zhi trembled slightly, and blood flowed from the corner of her lips. Although she had blocked this wave, it was obvious that she had also been hit and injured. A pang ran through Lin Xun's heart!

"Is this...the power of fate?!"

At this moment, Evil God Dishen seemed to be incredibly excited. His voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with a fiery desire and greed that seemed uncontrollable. In his eyes, Xia Zhi at this moment was like a first-class treasure of the world! His dao heart was unable to control his fervent desire to capture her.

Hmm?

Lin Xun's black eyes flickered slightly.

Fate?!

Could it be that the obscure and mysterious forbidden power in Xia Zhi was related to the law power of fate?

"Leave!"

Xia Zhi suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Lin Xun's arm, tore through the cosmos, and moved away.

"Want to flee? Impossible!"

At this moment, Evil God Dishen was like a crazy lunatic as he cackled up towards the sky and waved his hand.

Boom!

The distant starry sky rolled, and countless immortal laws as thick as chains emerged, suddenly condensing into a terrifying domain. They covered the figures of Xia Zhi and Lin Xun, leaving them no way to retreat or avoid.

"With the Jade Disk of Fortune, the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, and the power of fate in my hands, will I need to worry about surpassing immortality and breaking the barrier of epochs in the future?!"

With a loud laugh, Evil God Dishen appeared out of thin air. He resembled an old daoist, but his eyes were blazing and terrifying at this moment. He was bathed in a waterfall-like divine immortal light, and his might was so great that it shocked the area around them.

Boom!

He stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion. An unparalleled sword qi burst out from his fingertips, rushing towards Xia Zhi. Throughout this, she remained calm. Of note, she had never cared about her own life and death, so how could she possibly be afraid now?

Facing this attack, a mysterious light streamed from her, and it looked like the long river of fate was flowing in it.

Swish!

The spear with starlight flowing around it swooped out, like a violent storm, dissolving the attacks of Evil God Dishen one by one. Every attack was so mysterious and supreme, full of an incredible aura.

Evil God Dishen was not surprised but instead happy by this. His eyes became more and more fiery. He activated his own unique skills, making him resemble a masterful ancient evil god. With every movement, immortal light roared, stirring the nine heavens and ten earths.

He was too terrifying. Even though Xia Zhi had a type of taboo power, her attacks were still defeated and disintegrated by him one by one.

Not long after, she coughed up blood. At this time, Lin Xun finally saw that Xia Zhi's control of that kind of taboo power was obviously lacking in some way. Every time she used it, she had to pay a great price. This was no different from damaging one's own cultivation foundation!

In the end, her fair and crystalline skin became covered with bloodstains, and she was obviously under great pressure. Despite that, she did not step back! She kept standing there, fierce and strong, calm and silent, as if she didn't care that her injuries were becoming more and more serious.

Lin Xun's pupils were bloodshot, and his chest was about to explode with hatred. Earlier his fourth senior brother had done the exact same thing. He had been willing to sacrifice his life in order to open a way out for Lin Xun.

Now Xia Zhi was repeating that heartbreaking scenario! Lin Xun's dao heart became unstable, and a crazy, insane sort of anger skyrocketed within him.

"Little girl, this kind of power is not something you can control with your cultivation. It's better to give it to me, hahaha!" Evil God Dishen laughed gleefully as he raised his hands in the air, and a black sword qi condensed between his ten fingers.

Boom!

Immediately after it appeared, the starry sky quaked, on the edge of destruction, as if it could not bear the power of the sword. As Evil God Dishen slashed out with this sword, an indescribable murderous aura appeared. It felt as if it reflected the horror of the end of the world and the collapse of the heavens!

Undoubtedly, this was his strongest attack as he clearly wanted to suppress Xia Zhi in one fell swoop!

As if she also realized the sheer power of this attack, dense and obscure chains appeared around her, exuding a mysterious and supreme aura of fate, resembling the shackles of fate! Her body glowed, and blood flowed from the corners of her lips, as if she was burning up her lifeforce.

One of the chains suddenly broke with a loud snap, turning into a terrifying forbidden force that poured into Xia Zhi's spear. Then she stabbed it out fiercely immediately. Indistinctly, the spear that was stabbed out seemed to have the entanglements of karma on it, making it look like a spear of fate!

"If we have to die, then we must die together!"

Lin Xun, who had long been filled with an immense anger and hatred, was like a madman at this moment as he attacked desperately. In front of him, a blindingly bright white light of time suddenly burst out.

Time Stopping!

This was his forbidden innate power that was imprinted with the mystery of time! At this moment, the entire cosmos suddenly became silent. Time and fate met and collided at this moment, producing an incredible arrangement that had yet to be seen.
