Chapter 309 - 246: Lord of Destiny

A smile touched Yuan Tianhao’s face as he watched Zhao Xuanqi tear apart his oppressive aura with both hands.

He did not move, but a ball of blue-silver light began to flicker on his chest, visible to the naked eye.

The Secret Transmission of the Beidou Sect: the Seven-Star Life Palace! The first star, now called "Dubhe," was anciently known as "Greedy Wolf"!

Creating new organs within the body!

The strength of the Seven-Star Life Palaces within the Beidou Sect experts Zhao Xuanqi had previously encountered couldn’t compare to the body’s vital organs. But Yuan Tianhao, at this very moment, felt entirely different.

The intensity of the Qi and Blood emanating from that Life Palace had already reached, and perhaps even surpassed, that of the vital organs.

He even had a faint intuition that this man’s vital organs were no longer the most important parts of his body. Instead, the Seven-Star Life Palace had taken their place.

This man had used the Seven-Star Life Palace as his foundation, rebuilding an entire internal system of Qi and Blood circulation and meridian pathways better suited for the Beidou Sect’s Secret Transmission. He had created a circulatory system perfectly tailored to himself, pushing his Physical Ability far beyond that of a Harmony expert and into a new, unbelievable realm.

And it didn’t stop there.

As the ball of light swirled, a miniature figure seemed to be sitting cross-legged within, like one of the Gods and Buddhas seated in the Lotus Sublime Realm.

Suddenly, the seated figure within the ball of light snapped its eyes open.

BOOM!!

The next moment, the magnetic field and aura swirling around Yuan Tianhao became even more terrifying, the pressure increasing by at least ten percent.

The Lord of Destiny of the Seven Stars, the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch!

’This is...’

Zhao Xuanqi’s pupils constricted. He seemed to understand.

However, just at that moment.

HUM!!

A second ball of light appeared on Yuan Tianhao’s chest.

The second star of Beidou, now called the Merak Star, was anciently known as the Giant Gate!

Simultaneously, another figure appeared within this Star Palace and abruptly opened its eyes.

BOOM!!

The terrifying aura erupting from Yuan Tianhao surged to another level.

And this was far from his limit.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

One after another, the Life Palaces lit up. It was as if seven Deities resided within Yuan Tianhao’s body.

The Seven-Star Lord of Destiny.

This was the ability Yuan Tianhao had developed by taking a step beyond, after cultivating the Beidou Sect’s Secret Transmission to its absolute limit.

His Physical Ability was immense, allowing him to commune with Ghost Gods, perceive the heavens above, and seize the Power of the Stars. By comprehending the profound mysteries hidden within the starlight of Beidou’s seven stars, he had further transformed his Seven-Star Life Palace. Within these Life Palaces, using his own Spirit as the foundation and the magnetic field of the Seven Stars as a framework, he had birthed seven "Deities."

This was the Seven-Star Lord of Destiny. These seven Deities were different manifestations of his Spirit and magnetic field, and could be considered his "Split Souls."

Once activated, the magnetic field of the Seven-Star Lord of Destiny would resonate with his own consciousness, elevating his will, aura, and life’s magnetic field to a terrifying new level.

WHOOSH!!

The might of a starry sky descended. A pillar of light from his aura shot toward the heavens. The surrounding grass and trees bent low, and the very earth seemed to tremble.

Beidou is the symbol of the heavens. It moves at the center to command the four quarters, divides Yin and Yang, establishes the four seasons, balances the Five Elements, marks the passing of time, and fixes the course of destiny!

He who commands Beidou holds the Mandate of Heaven. He is an unparalleled hegemon, holding the life and death of all beings in his hands.

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!

The intense life-force magnetic field shot into the sky, causing the celestial phenomenon to evolve further. Thunderclouds gathered, dark and heavy as an army laying siege to a city. More importantly, a light resembling an Aurora formed between the clouds, making for an eye-catching spectacle.

’Damn it. I haven’t seen him in years, and he’s reached this level?!’

Jiang Wu, who was watching from the sidelines, paled. The phenomenon triggered by Yuan Tianhao’s power was about to break through the Blessed Land’s natural defenses. If it were detected by the outside world, Yuan Tianhao’s location would be exposed, which would lead to a host of problems.

AWOO!!

Jiang Wu threw back his head and let out a long howl, activating his Divine Transformation ability. He fully mobilized the magnetic field of the Blessed Land. The Illusion Barrier surrounding the area billowed like an ocean tide, finally shrouding the celestial phenomenon and containing it within the Blessed Land.

Even so, he felt immense pressure and didn’t dare relax for even a moment.

’The Seven-Star Life Palace... is it more than just an organ for supplying power? It seems to have some level of cerebral function.’

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression was incredibly grim. He suspected that even if he were to shatter this man’s skull and destroy his brain, the body might still be capable of simple thought, maintaining life and combat effectiveness for a time.

To cultivate the Martial Dao to this degree was to shatter all conventions. It was miraculous beyond measure, truly worthy of the title of the greatest in the Divine Land!

His opponent’s aura had instantly surged by more than seventy percent. Not even Zhao Xuanqi could hold back the pressure with the strength of his arms alone.

His knees bent slightly as he seemed to settle into a Pile Technique. He exerted force through his legs, his body undulating slightly. Then, his Qi and Blood surged to the acupoints in his head, activating a Spiritual Secret Technique as blood streamed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

ROAR!!

Qilin Holy Might!!

Silver light enveloped him, but its auspicious aura could not spread. It could only guard the one-inch space around his body from the pressure of Yuan Tianhao’s aura, ensuring that, at the very least, his bursts of Physical Ability and bodily control would not be overly affected.

To suppress Zhao Xuanqi to this extent with aura alone was a feat rarely seen in the world.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Across all the Martial Artists in the Divine Land, I can count the number of those who can withstand my aura on two hands. And now, I can add one more to that list!"

"But this is only the beginning."
