How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 185 - 182 Destiny Protagonist
Chapter 185: Chapter 182 Destiny Protagonist Chapter 185 -182 Destiny Protagonist At the peak of the snowy mountain, in front of a thatched hut.
A middle-aged man stretched out his trembling, dark hands to receive a scroll of beast skin from the hands of a child.
“The outcome is here!”
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and couldn’t wait to unfold the scroll, on which a line of characters was written.
A dozen or so characters, which could be read at a glance.
“What!
This…
This is impossible!”
The middle-aged man exclaimed in horror, and in his panic, the beast skin scroll fell to the ground.
Thud!
He slipped and fell face-first in his fright.
He lay in the snow, staring blankly at the scroll with a face full of horror and disbelief.
In his field of vision,
the beast skin scroll seemed like a burning hot coal, close enough to touch, yet inciting an instinctive fear and resistance.
Huh!
The child couldn’t help but become curious, looking subconsciously at the content on the scroll.
As a result, he was also startled.
As a disciple of the Great Witch, he naturally dared not look at the content of the divination without permission.
The scroll did not detail who was the murderer of Lv Santong.
Instead, it revealed something else: “Lv Tiezu will fall in a few years, killed by Chen Yu.”
“No!
No…
This is impossible!”
The middle-aged man was incoherent, his face a mix of horror and doubt.
Chen Yu, the number one person among the Three Sects of Chu Country, a Sword Cultivator in the Guiyuan Realm with a lifespan of two to three hundred years, how could he die in a few years.
What was even more unbelievable was that he was to be killed by Chen Yu.
“Fairy child!
Did the Great Witch make a mistake?”
“My master is a renowned Guiyuan Realm figure, and Chen Yu is merely at the Organ Refining Stage, how could it be possible…”
The middle-aged man’s emotions were intense, almost roaring.
“A mistake?”
The child’s face showed pity and scorn.
“Hehe!
You should have known before coming here that the Great Witch’s divinations, if they don’t have a clear answer, are almost certain once they do give one, with a ninety-nine percent probability.”
“Unfortunately, our Great Witch of the Great Snow Mountain Tribe this generation, known as unparalleled under heaven and earth, has not made a mistake in his predictions for the last fifty years.”
The child seemed bored and muttered a few words.
Finally,
He shook his head, no longer caring about the distraught middle-aged man, and walked towards the thatched hut.
“Wait!”
The middle-aged man seemed to think of something, regaining some calmness on his face.
“Is there anything else?”
“Dare I ask, Fairy Child, whether Chen Yu is the murderer of Lv Santong.”
“The murderer?”
The child’s face was full of scorn.
With such a result from the divination, does it matter whether Chen Yu is the murderer or not?
“Humph!
Even I, a mere apprentice of the Great Witch, could infer that the murderer is Chen Yu.”
Dropping that last remark,
The child no longer paid any attention to the middle-aged man and returned to the hut.
The hut, which looked not much bigger than an ordinary straw house, was covered with only a thin layer of snow.
The moment he stepped into the hut,
The child entered a quaint and spacious garden.
Inside his view, the scene was lush with verdant spring, chirping birds and fragrant flowers, little bridges, and flowing water, all very pleasant.
Inside a simple and quaint stone hall,
“Great Witch.”
The child respectfully looked towards the figure in ancient robes, standing with their hands behind their back.
This figure, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, indiscernible in age, if not for careful attention, one wouldn’t even notice his presence.
“Is it done?”
An ancient and deep voice sounded, its direction unclear.
“Reporting to the Great Witch, Lu Tiezu’s eldest disciple has already received the divination message…”
The child replied.
Immediately,
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face: “I am a bit puzzled.”
“Speak.”
“The Great Witch, this divination seems to have taken quite a toll, a steep price for just an Early Guiyuan Realm, although his tribute was not bad.”
The child voiced his concern.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Ordinary divinations required only a few two hours from the Great Witch, at most half a day.
However, this time, the Great Witch had spent three days and three nights.
“Ten years of lifespan.”
The ancient voice sounded a bit tired.
“What!
Great Witch, you actually spent ten years of lifespan!”
The child exclaimed in shock.
“Hehe, indeed quite unexpected.”
“I’m not sure if it’s bad luck or good luck, but we caught the ‘Destiny Protagonist’ of Beiyuan, who is also the ‘Great Evil Star’ of our Great Snow Mountain Tribe.”
The voice of the Great Witch was mixed with a bit of surprise and emotion.
“Destiny Protagonist?
Didn’t you say the Destiny Protagonist was in our Great Snow Mountain Tribe?
The child looked astonished.
This divination of the Great Witch involved the “Destiny Protagonist,” no wonder even his vast abilities came at the cost of ten years of his lifespan.
The so-called Destiny Protagonist is a key figure that leads the major forces and destinies of a region.
Such a person represents the major forces of the world; it’s an unstoppable tide of fate.
Anyone who opposes the Destiny Protagonist doesn’t end well.
Because, isn’t that merely seeking death by pitting oneself against the great forces of heaven and earth’s fate?
“Who said that a region’s Destiny Protagonist can only be one?
We have one in our Great Snow Mountain Tribe, and another appearing in the Three Kingdoms is not surprising.”
The Great Witch explained.
“Oh, I understand now…”
The child suddenly realized.
“Great Witch, you passed that message to Lv Tiezu to use him at any cost to quickly eliminate Chen Yu.
But can a Destiny Protagonist be killed?”
The child finished speaking, still slightly curious.
“It’s possible.
Every era might have one or two to three Destiny Protagonists, but they could also fall from the major forces of the world.”
The Great Witch spoke evenly.
Among the former Great Witches, there had even been cases of plotting against Destiny Protagonists, but the cost was indeed too great.
“This time is the best opportunity to eliminate Chen Yu.
Once missed, it will be even harder in the future.”
The Great Witch suddenly turned around.
His pale, profound eyes seemed to transcend immense distances, peering into the distant Three Kingdoms of the south.
At that moment, in front of the thatched hut.
A middle-aged man held an ancient, lustrous white token in his hand, infusing it with Innate True Qi, while his lips quivered slightly.
Hum!
Suddenly, the token flashed with a bright and resplendent silver light, accompanied by a subtle spatial fluctuation that lasted for a moment before quickly dimming.
Crack!
After dimming, the token quickly developed cracks, splitting apart.
“This is the ancient messaging token!
Master instructed that it should only be used as a strategic artifact in dire circumstances.”
Having done all this, the middle-aged man sat down on the ground, utterly spent.
A moment later,
within the territory of the Iron Sword Sect in Chu Country, inside a secret underground palace,
a silver-haired elder with an orange-yellow wooden sword on his back was sitting cross-legged.
His complexion was a bit pale as he was in the middle of healing.
Hum!
Suddenly, he took out a token similar to that of the middle-aged man as whispers echoed around him.
“…
How is this possible!”
The elder stiffened, his pupils showing a mix of shock and disbelief.
A few moments later.
Whoosh Boom!
A soaring orange sword glow pierced through the palace, sending wood splinters flying.
“Chen Yu!
No matter the cost, I must slay you with my own hands!”
An icy cold, murderous voice swept across the skies.
Among the clouds,
Lv Tiezu transformed into a dazzling orange sword glow, flying through the air towards the Ancient Moon Well and Tieling Mine regions.
Due to the presence of the Spirit Sword Mark, he could sense Chen Yu’s exact location.
Meanwhile,
two hundred miles away from Tieling Mine, within a subterranean cave,
Hmm?
Chen Yu faintly felt a light tremor on the “Spirit Sword Mark” on his ear.
A sense of danger and intense unease welled up within him.
He did not know.
That the Great Witch from the far north had intervened, causing a slight deviation in the trajectory of fate.
“However, the time is about right; tonight is the night of the full moon.”
Chen Yu quickly got up.
After the “Bone Demon King” had appeared, he had fled to the vicinity and been in hiding for nearly ten days, waiting for the full moon.
Returning to the surface,
the sky was ablaze with the fierce noon sun.
“From here to the Ancient Moon Well, it will be nightfall by the time I arrive…”
Chen Yu calculated the time.
Swoosh!
Using a movement technique that exceeded the speed of typical Postnatal Qi Transformation, he darted towards the direction of the Ancient Moon Well.
Chen Yu did not notice.
Just after he had appeared on the surface, an elder’s figure briefly flashed between nearby mountains.
An hour later.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
A troop of Flying Bird Knights—around twenty people—came flying in from behind.
“It’s the pursuers from the Water Moon Sect!”
Chen Yu turned his head and his complexion changed drastically.
“Giggle giggle giggle…
Chen Yu, you are indeed nearby!”
There, on one of the Birds, stood a stunningly beautiful woman.
However, her smile bore a chilling cruelty.
“Water Moon Sect Master!”
Chen Yu’s face went pale; this was a formidable opponent from the Qi Transformation Innate level.
He never expected that the Water Moon Sect Master and her people could be so patient, searching the area for so long.
There was no escape!
Chen Yu’s gaze swept towards the oncoming Flying Bird Knights.
Intuitively, he knew that apart from the Water Moon Sect Master, there were two Postnatal Qi Transformation practitioners and the rest were at the mid-to-late stage of refining organs, truly an elite force.
At this moment,
Chen Yu did not lose his composure.
Firstly, escaping was unrealistic because it would be difficult to evade the pursuit and scouting of a troop of Flying Bird Knights, especially with a Qi Transformation Innate leading them.
“The only real threat to me here is the Water Moon Sect Master.”
Chen Yu’s thoughts raced.
He was confident in the survival defensive power of his “Copper Statue Gang Body.”
Zoom!
Chen Yu’s figure flashed rapidly, positioning himself in front of a mountain wall.
This way, he could at least avoid being attacked from all sides.
“Youngster, meet your end!”
A group of powerful individuals from the Water Moon Sect descended from the sky.
Leading the assault were two Postnatal Qi Transformations, a young man in a white robe and a middle-aged woman.
The young man was at the Early Postnatal Stage, and the woman at the Middle Postnatal Stage.
“Activate!”
Chen Yu threw a metallic sphere.
Instantly,
a sword-shield puppet, about ten feet tall, appeared from a misty white light, protecting Chen Yu securely with a large black shield.
Ding ding clang hiss bang bang!
The attacks from the two Postnatal Stage and many Organ Refining Stage struck the sword-shield puppet.
Sparks flew and dust billowed.
However,
the puppet, standing ten feet tall, guarded Chen Yu with the large black shield firmly.
“Such strong defense!”
“Is this a puppet?
Its defensive power is comparable to Qi Transformation Innate!”
The disciples from the Water Moon Sect were visibly astounded.
Both the young man and the middle-aged woman in white, despite their potent attacks, couldn’t damage the puppet at all.
Unbeknownst to them,
as they gathered close,
the Chen Yu who was completely shielded by the sword-shield puppet and leaning against the mountain wall had a sharp gleam in his eyes.
He opened his mouth to take a deep breath, his belly swelling like a small water tank, black iron patterns wriggling on his skin.
