After a period of stalemate, the two of them had no choice but to shake hands and make peace. Huang Shan was conferred the title of Martial King and occupied the land of an entire province. It now looked like a country within a country.
However, this was clearly not what Zhao Hao wanted. With the reinforcement from the Lives' Wisdom Seal, Zhao Hao spent a large amount of time cultivating in seclusion every day, constantly using the wisdom of all living beings in the world to help him deduce Fang Xingjian's martial arts legacy. His cultivation kept on making breakthroughs.
Huang Shan was naturally unwilling to be ruled by a lowly commoner from the Lower Realm. He secretly contacted Tang Xian to kill Zhao Hao together and divide the world equally.
Thus, the two of them joined forces to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Hao, who was in seclusion in the Imperial Palace. Zhao Hao had no choice but to escape with serious injuries.
Huang Shan and Tang Xian condensed a clone with a hint of their martial will, pretending to be Zhao Hao and ruling over the world.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hao was hiding in the dark, silently accumulating his strength. It was also at this moment that the empire changed hands, and his Heavenly Emperor Dragon Fist was mostly crippled. He had no choice but to study the other martial arts that Fang Xingjian had passed down.
During this one year, he was pursued crazily by Huang Shan and Tang Xian. However, he did not feel discouraged and continued to improve. He integrated high-dimensional sword arts and the Nine Lives Helix, turning the 28 stances of the Heavenly Emperor's Dragon Fist into the 10 stances of the Dragon Fist. He achieved great success in his martial arts and strived for tier seven of the Divine level.
One month later, Zhao Hao challenged Tang Xian and Huang Shan at the top of the Heavenly Mountain with his cultivation at tier seven of the Divine level.
…
Under the starry sky, Fang Xingjian looked at the Central Continent that was still accelerating. He had watched the entire process of the Central Continent from beginning to end, witnessing every step of Zhao Hao's growth.
However, Urethai, who was at the side, had frowned at the start. Later on, he became anxious and nervous, and then he fell silent. There were many things that he could not put into words in his eyes.
Fang Xingjian faintly said, "What does a person's destiny consist of? In just a few short days, they had walked a path that normal people would never be able to walk in their entire lives. They had obtained power that normal people would never be able to imagine, and all of this was just something that I had casually bestowed upon them. Then in the eyes of the Demon God, are we the same as Zhao Hao? There's no difference. "
Urethai did not say a word. He looked at the Central Continent that kept on accelerating, and a hint of perplexity flashed in the depths of his gaze.
They had spent countless years, gone through countless hardships, and obtained their cultivation base through countless hardships. Yet, under the guidance of Fang Xingjian, others were able to catch up to them quickly.
Moreover, Zhao Hao's aptitude, resources, legacy, personality, and willpower were all far inferior to him. The biggest reason he could reach his current level was because Fang Xingjian had passed on his martial arts legacy to him.
To them, the Demon God was the same.
An ordinary knight's countless years of cultivation could not compare to a divine spell bestowed by the Devil God.
A martial artist might be born inferior to you in terms of talent, background, and willpower. Because of these innate reasons, they would always be surpassed by you.
On the other hand, a person who surpassed you in terms of aptitude, background, and effort could be trampled under your feet forever just because of a thought from a higher existence.
Then what was the deciding factor between the strong and the weak?
Thinking of this, Urethai could not help but sigh and say, "It's because this multivariate universe might have been unfair to begin with. "Some people might be born with powers and influences that you'll never be able to surpass in your entire life. A single thought from them would be able to wipe out you, your race, and your civilization completely. "Sometimes, even if a person surpasses you in all aspects, they might still be surpassed and defeated by you in the end due to a series of probabilities. "Regardless of whether it's the starting point of one's birth or the ending point of one's death, there's no concept of fairness in this universe. Everything is just the collapse of probabilities."
Urethai sighed and said, "And the tragic thing is that even though we know that our hard work might be instantly negated by a higher existence due to some minute probability and then completely wiped out, we still have no choice but to continue persevering. "This is probably the cruelty of this universe. It leaves us with both hope and despair at the same time."
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. However, his anticipation towards freedom and breaking away from the Devil God's control was getting higher and higher.
Looking at the Central Continent that kept on accelerating and Zhao Hao who kept on fighting, Fang Xingjian felt that the two of them were like bacteria in a petri dish that had been nurtured by someone to achieve a certain goal. This feeling made Fang Xingjian experience the cruelty of the universe.
In this universe, it seemed that there was no need for a reason for anything to happen. The differences between individuals were nothing more than the consequences of a series of probabilities such as aptitude, background, encounters, will, and so on. An expert might be killed in the next second, while a weakling might instantly become someone at the top of the world. The strong and the weak would always be in relative changes, and what most lives could do was just accept it.
…
Elsewhere, Zhao Hao's battle with Tang Xian and Huang Shan had already reached its climax. Both parties were tier seven Divine level experts, but Zhao Hao had integrated the Royal Heavenly Great Art, Ascendant Heavenly Seal, high-dimensional sword arts, and Nine Lives Helix to create the Dragon Fist.
Faced with this supreme martial technique that could steal the world's destiny, deliver high-dimensional attacks, and even carry out certain probabilistic manipulations, Tang Xian and Huang Shan kept on being defeated the moment they came into contact.
Later on, although each of them unleashed their potential and their martial arts cultivation kept on increasing, they were still firmly suppressed by Zhao Hao.
In the end, Zhao Hao attained a breakthrough in high-dimensional sensory abilities during the battle, and his martial will also surpassed 10,000 after being tempered by stealing the world's destiny.
With a punch, the world let out a long cry, and countless gales and clouds seethed. The sounds of the earth's tectonic plates trembling gathered together, as if letting out a series of dragon roars.
Under the tremors of the world's sounds, Huang Shan's body shattered bit by bit, turning into a series of light spots that dissipated into the atmosphere.
Tang Xian looked at Zhao Hao in the sky with a grim countenance and asked, "What fist technique is this?"
"You can call him Heaven Devouring." Zhao Hao stood proudly in void space, sensing the world's fusion. It was a feeling as if everything in the world was under his control.
In void space, invisible Dragon Qis kept on seething, and the probabilities of fate were slightly stirred, prying out a tremendous amount of energy from the universe.
"Engulfing Dragon Qis to defy the world. What a Heaven Devouring." Tang Xian shook his head. "I didn't expect that I'd eventually be defeated by an aboriginal from a lower realm like you."
"Hmph, millions of years ago, there was no such thing as a division between the higher and lower realms. Wasn't the so-called higher and lower realms forcefully decided by you guys?" Zhao Hao said calmly, "From now on, there's no longer any division between the two realms."
Tang Xian shook his head. "If the higher realm still existed, how could you be so arrogant? Moreover …" Fang Xingjian's appearance appeared in Tang Xian's mind. Even now, he still did not know the outcome of the battle between Fang Xingjian and Venerable Master Zhai Xing. He did not know if both of them had entered the higher realm.
However, to Zhao Hao, Tang Xian's words were merely a last-ditch struggle. Throughout his path of cultivation and battles, he would always encounter opponents who were stronger than him each time. However, he managed to overcome them time and time again, forging endless confidence and disposition.
Hearing Tang Xian's words, he merely smiled calmly. "I only hate the fact that the three great immortal sects aren't around. Otherwise, I'll definitely flatten the higher realm and command the immortals. I'll truly be the one and only in the entire world."
He stared at Tang Xian and said, "Alright, Tang Xian. I can tell that you're a talent. Are you willing to join me and serve me?"
Tang Xian did not say anything. Instead, his mouth opened slightly, revealing a surprised expression.
