Chapter 2578 Strange Beast Attack

As his divine sense probed into her, Lin Xun keenly realized that, deep inside her internal wounds, there was an extremely obscure and mysterious power. This mysterious power was extremely terrifying, resembling chains lurking within her, and they were tightly shackled to her life essence!

Lin Xun knew that this was the power of fate that was like a taboo. The power of fate was most mysterious and abstract as it was capable of carrying the weight of the almighty dao and prompting cultivators to grow time and time again.

A living being’s life could basically be summarized as fate, which was regarded as the course that a person was destined to go through. Therefore, what people called fortune-telling was actually to deduce one’s fate and probe one’s destined course, thereby peeking into their whole life.

However, this art of fortune-telling was only applicable to mortals. In the eyes of cultivators, the power of life was as unfathomable and impenetrable as the heavenly laws. When cultivators diligently sought to transform and break through, they were in fact metamorphosing their own lives into something higher.

It was precisely because of such metamorphoses that made the life of a cultivator full of variables. As such, wanting to deduce their fate and destiny was a very difficult task. In short, anything that was related to the changes in life could be called the dao of fate!

Now Lin Xun had long known that the dao of fate, like the dao of time, was a supreme dao that was almost ungraspable! However, in Xia Zhi's body, there were shackles of the laws of fate that bound her life essence, which was undoubtedly too incredible.

"Why does Xia Zhi have such a taboo power? And it is like a chain, enveloping her entire life essence like a prison. It doesn't seem to be an innate talent at all, but instead it seems to be something that is sealed in her body..."

Lin Xun's expression suddenly became uncertain. Xia Zhi’s background and origins had always been an opaque mystery. Lin Xun had tried to find some information many times, seeking to discover some hint of truth. Unfortunately, so far, nothing had been found.

He only knew that when Xia Zhi had appeared in Feiyun Village and met him, it was definitely not just a coincidence!

“Could it be that a great expert who could control the law power of fate has tampered with her destiny?" Lin Xun's heart was churning and he couldn't calm down. This was the first time in all these years that he had noticed this abnormality in her, and this discovery made him unable to calm down.

If someone really had sealed the law power of fate in Xia Zhi, then who was this person? How terrifying would the cultivation of someone who could control the law of fate be? The more he thought about it, the more bewildered he became.

After a long period of time passed, Lin Xun put aside his distracting thoughts, calmed his mind, and continued to sense. He soon made a new discovery.

Xia Zhi was indeed seriously injured, and her internal condition was quite bad. However, Lin Xun soon witnessed that the power chaining her life essence suddenly sent out strands of a miraculous force that surged into different parts of her body.

Her damaged body and serious injuries were silently being nourished by this life force, undergoing subtle repairs. Lin Xun was amazed and relieved. Xia Zhi had not lied. She could repair and heal serious injuries by herself without any external help.

"Perhaps for her, that mysterious shackle may just be an inexhaustible treasure trove that lets her cultivate, transcend, and improve in the face of death..."

At this moment, Lin Xun vaguely understood something. Over the years, Xia Zhi had fallen into many hibernation sessions. After each one, her combat power had undergone a rapid transformation.

All this was very likely related to the law power of fate! Lin Xun did not touch the chains of power that were in her. They were too obscure and mysterious, so he did not dare to try to mess around.

After withdrawing his consciousness, Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "Xia Zhi, do you remember where you came from?"

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment, and then shook her head and said, "I have thought about it many times over the years, but I can't remember it at all."

After a pause, she continued, "I have a hunch that when I completely break and refine those shackles in my body, I will be able to remember all the things from my past."

Lin Xun nodded and said, "I also have a hunch that your meeting with me was not a coincidence. Your life experiences may also be related to me, but no matter what, I will definitely help you find the answer in the future."

Xia Zhi raised her clear eyes, looked at Lin Xun seriously, and said, "None of this is important; as long as you are by my side, it's enough."

A surge of warmth trickled into his heart as Lin Xun hugged Xia Zhi tightly in his arms and said, "As long as you don't leave me, no one in this world can take you away from me."

Xia Zhi smiled slightly, and her pale and beautiful face glowed with a unique light, making the starry sky look dim in comparison. However, the next moment, she stiffened, and she suddenly stood up from Lin Xun's arms. She stared at the distant cosmos. Her delicate crescent-shaped black eyebrows gradually creased into a frown.

"Lin Xun, we should go." Xia Zhi held the bone spear tightly in her palm, and a cold and murderous aura revealed itself.

"Is there an enemy?" Lin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xia Zhi whispered, "It's a starry sky beast. Do you remember the world I had entered after leaving the Ancient Wasteland Domain?"

Lin Xun thought for a moment, and then he remembered that years ago in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Xia Zhi had left on her own in the Star Chess Sea and entered a mysterious portal that had emerged in the sky.

Later he learned that the portal was located in the most dangerous place in the Underworld, the Law Extinction Zone, which was also known as the source of calamities. Xia Zhi had fought alone in that world for many years, and the opponents she killed were the starry sky beasts that had come from the depths of the boundless starry sky!

Furthermore, Lin Xun was also familiar with them. As early as when he had first left the Ziyao Empire in his youth, he had encountered an unimaginably huge starry sky beast in the transfer array.

Following that, when had gone from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to the Ancient Nebula Road, he had encountered a starry sky beast again.

Then in Nirvana of Transcendence, that same starry sky beast appeared again. This time it had even mobilized countless other starry sky beasts to attack together, causing great danger and immense trouble to him.

Later on, the wisp of willpower of the Lord of Fangchun Mountain took action and killed the army of starry sky beasts in one fell swoop.

However, Lin Xun did not expect that in this completely unfamiliar cosmos, there would be such a beast chasing him again.

"Let's go!" Xia Zhi took action immediately and moved forward.

Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "Xia Zhi, you have fought with these beasts for many years, but do you know who has been sending them?"

"Back then, I heard Chen Linkong talking to someone named golden cicada, who said that these beasts had come from the Eternal True Realm." Xia Zhi added casually, "And a long time ago, my intuition told me that they were coming for you."

"So you had been fighting in the Law Extinction Zone for all those years just to help me block them?" Lin Xun was shocked.

Xia Zhi hummed in assent.

Lin Xun's mood immediately became complicated and full of churning emotions. It turned out that Xia Zhi had been fighting for him way longer than he knew...

But where in the Eternal True Realm did those starry sky beasts come from?

Could it be the Luo Clan?

Impossible!

How could an Immortal Imperial Clan that only controlled an eighth grade Earth Rank law power compel so many terrible beasts? However, if they were doing this on their own, just what was their motive?

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Lin Xun was filled with doubts and questions. He vaguely realized that this was most likely related to his innate ability, and also very likely associated with the Omega Secret-Realm! Only in this way could such a weird situation be explained.

Boom!

While moving, a dull vibrating sound came from the starry sky in the distance, as if thousands of troops were coming from the depths of the universe.

Lin Xun and Xia Zhi were about to head in another direction, but who would have thought that at this moment, the deep cosmos in all directions would all be shaken like thunder. For a moment, the huge space seemed to be turbulent, and a violent and cold terrifying aura appeared like a tide, surging from different places in the starry sky.

Indistinctly, it could be seen that in the depths of the starry sky, one after another huge and boundless black shadows emerged, like floating islands, rushing towards where they were.

There were innumerable starry sky beasts, and each of them was as huge as a mountain and had violent and ferocious auras. Each one had a pair of scarlet eyes that resembled the sun and the moon, and they radiated a bloody light that frightened people.

"The aura of these guys is obviously different from before..." Xia Zhi noticed the difference keenly. A long time ago, countless starry sky beasts had died in her hands. The starry sky beasts she had encountered at that time were far less powerful than those that were here today.

"It's really different. Although they are not Emperors, they are covered with a unique violent aura, which is not any less powerful than that of an Emperor’s.”

Lin Xun's spirit sense spread and he had also felt the difference. Back in the Nirvana of Transcendence, on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, he had fought side by side with Xia Zhi and killed countless starry sky beasts that had rushed across the sky.

In comparison, the starry sky beasts he had encountered back then were far less powerful than those seen today! Lin Xun even noticed some extremely terrifying auras, which were likely around the Emperor Ancestor Stage.

This was simply shocking! After all, Emperor Ancestors could be considered first-class overlords in the Eternal True Realm, and they were experts second only to Immortals.

Despite that, among these starry sky beasts, there were many auras comparable to that of the Emperor Ancestor Stage. Furthermore, such a huge array of beasts had appeared. If this scene happened in the Eternal True Realm, it would definitely be a catastrophe!

In addition, if such an army of beasts was being sent out by someone, how powerful would that person have to be?

"As long as it is not an Immortal, there is no need to worry. Go, rush forward and kill!" Lin Xun did not dare to think any more and immediately came to a decision.

Buzz!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron swept up, splashing out billions of rays of light that enveloped both him and Xia Zhi. Then their two figures turned into two swift streams of light, rushing towards the cosmos in the distance.

This was an unfamiliar stretch of space to him. According to what his fourth senior brother Ling Xuanzi had told him at the time, through this path of life and earth, he could reach the Eternal True Realm.

However, Lin Xun didn’t know how to get there, but at this time, he couldn't care too much about the details as he had to fight his way out of this siege first.
