“Is this my destiny?” Ancient Demon King muttered. Instead of leaving the blood-red altar like Scarlet Emperor did, he dashed towards Navagraha King.

Navagraha King glanced at Navagraha Queen, then suddenly jumped up from the blood-red altar to chase after Scarlet Emperor, “Navagraha Queen, Great Ancestral Grandmother of the Navagraha Tribe, Empress of Heaven Realm, allow me, Dong Yao, the honor of killing Scarlet Emperor to prevent him from revealing our secrets!” His knew that he was in danger of dying if he stayed where he was, so he used the excuse of wanting to kill Scarlet Emperor in order to be able to leave the area of the blood-red altar. No matter who his opponent was: Zhi Zun; Yue Yang; that little Serpent Demon, Xiao Wen Li; the Qilin girl, Bing Yin; the Hornless Dragon, Jiang Ying; the War Goddess Guard Sisters, Yao and Yu; Battle Angel, Ika; or the Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen, Duo Duo, all of them were exceptional warriors. None of them were warriors that he could afford to trifle with.

Ancient Demon King desperately pursued Navagraha King. As soon as he could, he attacked Navagraha King without reservation hoping to kill him.

However, rather than fighting, Navagraha King ignored Ancient Demon King’s attack. Instead, he chose to dash tens of thousands of meters away, committed to going after Scarlet Emperor in order to silence him. Close behind him, Ancient Demon King was continuing to give chase. He could hear him swearing to kill him.

The golden statue of the Empress Dowager didn’t try to stop Navagraha King. She just gave a cold grunt, “That’s a good way to stop you from sitting on your hands.” She looked down from the sky, “Do you have any last words? Then, speak!”

Yue Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard Navagraha Queen’s words. Instead, Yue Yang turned towards his Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen, Duo Duo, and Battle Angel, Ika, and told them, “Kill Navagraha King, Dong Yao! Make sure he doesn’t survive!”

The Qilin girl, Bing Yin looked at the old masters Zu and Wu. She watched as they climbed back up from the ground to stand beside the golden statue of Navagraha Queen, rather than chase Duo Duo and Ika. Bing Yin’s brow became slightly furrowed as she thought, “Navagraha King is very powerful, Scarlet Emperor is intent on escaping, Ancient Demon King is seriously injured and can’t exert his full power, so it’s unlikely that Duo Duo and Ika will be able to kill Navagraha King just by themselves... I know, I’ll go talk it over with Jiang Ying! But, I need to be careful not to get too wild!”

“Don’t worry, I can do it.” Yue Yang assured them. Then, he stretched out one of his arms until he was able to take hold of one of Zhi Zun’s jade-like hands. At the same time, he gave her some of his innate energy to replenish hers, due to her having excessively consumed her own. He put his other hand on top of the little loli Serpent Demon, Xiao Wen Li’s head and softly rubbed it. The little loli’s face was as pale as paper due to her overuse of energy, and out of one corner of her mouth there was still a tiny trickle of blood coming out. She didn’t make a sound as Yue Yang rubbed her head.

Except for Zhi Zun, Xiao Wen Li was the mainstay of power in a fight. Since she had constantly been fighting against the golden image of Navagraha Queen. Now that she had used up almost all of her energy, she was utterly exhausted. This left Yue Yang feeling guilty. “If only I was a little stronger, my cute little loli wouldn’t have had to fight like that!”

“Show me what you can do! Prove to me that you can do it!” Taunted Navagraha Queen. Next, she urged the Head of Luo Hou to release its demonic energy. Quickly, another jet black head, ablaze with raging demon flames appeared in the sky over White River Valley again. Then, it opened its enormous, sinister, cavern-like mouth that could devour the heavens and the earth.

“Don’t piss me off! When I go berserk even my people will be frightened!” Yue Yang slowly closed his eyes, instantly, his Qi erupted. It was tens of millions of times stronger than before. When he opened his eyes, his qi force was strong enough to destroy the heavens and the earth. It turned into a beam of light that shot up into the sky. He felt like it could penetrate the nine hexagrams, pass through the heavens and the earth, and destroy any existence that tried to obstruct its path.

After Navagraha Queen watched as Yue Yang’s eyes turned blood red and saw that his gaze had become completely irrational, she felt a fear of death that had not existed for nearly 10,000 years. Emerging from her heart was a fear of death that Navagraha Queen hadn’t felt since she faced Empress Fei Wen Li, 10,000 years in the past.

“What kind of power is that?” Navagraha Queen was completely confused. She couldn’t understand why, when this kid went out of control, he had become infinitely stronger. Now, he seemed so calm. How could his anger suddenly disappear? Could it be... my death threat is no longer something he’s worried about?

Before she could figure out the answer to these questions, Yue Yang acted. He stretched out his arms, which was now more terrifying than Jiang Ying’s powerful dragon claws, and directly struck the golden image of Navagraha Queen and the Head of Luo Hou from the sky. He pounded what was left of the golden image with both fists, while his feet were stomping like mad on the 100,000-year-old demonic weapon, the Head of Luo Hou.

No force could truly harm the Head of Luo Hou but its skin and hair were gradually smashed into powder under Yue Yang’s nonstop assault. Eventually, the flaming head’s appearance changed from a jet-black head into a chalk-white skull.

In a similar way, the golden image of Navagraha Queen couldn’t be hurt by brute force. Still, it was shattered into tiny gold splinters under the ferocity of Yue Yang’s attack, causing the sky to be splashed with countless gold fragments with every punch Yue Yang landed.

Realizing that she was in danger of dying, Navagraha Queen used her [Innate] skill, [Shifting Spirit]. “Give me your exceptional body. It now belongs to me! Submit!”

Navagraha Queen’s skill, [Shifting Spirit], allowed her to take over a living being’s form by wresting their soul from their body, dispersing their power, depleting their strength, and destroying their consciousness and spirit. Her chosen target was Zhi Zun. However, when she saw the irrational state that Yue Yang was in, she could tell that he had no way to defend his spirit. She was also impressed by how much more powerful he was. This the perfect time for her to use [Shifting Spirit] on him.

She also took into consideration the fact that Zhi Zun’s will was far stronger than Yue Yang’s. Depending on Zhi Zun’s level of mastery over the relevant skills, trying to take over Zhi Zun might just end up endangering her!

“No one’s invincible!” shouted, Zhi Zun. When the old masters, Zu and Wu, came to Navagraha Queen’s rescue, she extended her left index finger and blew them more than 10,000 meters away. At the same time, her right hand flipped a page of her grimoire. Immediately, the golden image, which was so badly broken that its shape was barely recognizable, was instantly obliterated by Zhi Zun’s skillful manipulation of the Power of Law. Had Navagraha Queen’s spirit been at a lower level, Zhi Zun would have managed to seckill her as well.

Navagraha Queen was scared to death. Darn! She had to hurry now. She rushed toward Yue Yang, ready to seize his body and use [Shifting Spirit] before her spirit was dispersed. She was desperate to regenerate her soul.

As the Head of Luo Hou was being stomped on by Yue Yang, it began emitting a seemingly endless sea of black flames of demonic energy. These quickly coalesced into another illusionary image of the Head of Luo Hou. Once formed, it immediately launched an attack on Yue Yang in order to give Navagraha Queen a chance to slip inside of Yue Yang’s body and overwhelm his spirit.

“Aargh!” Yue Yang completely gave himself over to his rage. Normally he was extremely calm and hard to anger. However, when he became angry and stopped trying to regain his normally calm state he would go berserk, becoming violently enraged. The consequences of this were terrifying due to the fact that when he lost control of his anger, he would merge with the Powers of Law controlled by his Card of Fate.[1] Under the influence of his Card of Fate – [World], he formed an illusionary dark-gold giant. It was hard to determine how tall the mountainous image of the dark-gold giant was. But, the Head of Luo Hou, that occupied the heavens and the earth and could devour anything, didn’t even reach as far as the knees of the dark-gold giant.

An instant later, Zhi Zun and Xiao Wen Li suddenly felt supported as a golden image formed behind each of them. Moreover, all of the energy they had exhausted was immediately restored.

Instinctively, the dark-gold giant lifted one of his feet and stomped on the image created by the Head of Luo Hou, that was composed of pure energy and manifestly shattered it. Even the physical skull of Luo Hou which had existed for more than ten of thousands of years was patently crushed by the golden giant as it lay on top of the blood-red altar.

Hundreds of miles away, all the warriors of the Navagraha tribe couldn’t bring themselves to look up into the sky. All of them could sense the existence of the dark-gold giant and be terrified of it. Currently, fifty kilometers away, Navagraha King was bogged down by Scarlet Emperor and Ancient Demon King. Originally, he had been able to withstand their attacks for a long time, but now that the dark-gold giant had appeared, it put a huge amount of pressure on him. It was like tens of thousands of mountains were pressing down on his back.

However, it was Duo Duo and Ika that were given the greatest support. Ika immediately slashed at Navagraha King with her Angel’s Blades, leaving a thousand-meter trench in the ground, and knocking him toward Duo Duo. As soon as he arrived, the image of the dark-gold giant, behind Duo Duo, swatted Navagraha King to the ground, like an annoying fly.

At this point, none of Yue Yang’s enemies could look directly at the image of the dark-gold giant, who was literally standing in the sky. They could only lower their gaze, to stare at their toes. This was the Power of Law that Yue Yang gained from his Card of Fate – [Fate]—the power to irreversibly control fate!

[1]. Yue Yang’s Card of Fate is seemingly a mutation that joined the three cards below into one. This mutated card has been named ‘Sky Wolf’ because the name given to a Sky Demon comes from the title of the Card of Fate they drew.

[World]

The one who picks this card gains the ability of creation. They are able to create all things in the world. Only the success rate varies by level.

[Fate]

The one who picks this card gains the power to irreversibly control fate. They are freed from all the effects and affects of fate.

[Sky Wolf]

Represents the Destruction of the world. It’s related to the legend in which a World Destroying Demon Wolf swallows the world. The one who picks this card obtains the power of destruction. If attacked, even the strongest innate would be destroyed forever. Additionally, their spirit will be unable to survive.
