Of course, there are also people whose mental cultivation is not strong enough and they just choose heavenly-level martial arts, hoping to pass it in one go.
Some people overestimate their own strength and choose divine martial arts, which results in a waste of time.
Just when everyone was working hard to practice martial arts in the Temple of Time.
God of War Continent.
A bronze temple hidden in chaos, filled with endless chaotic energy, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Snap!
The void seemed to split open, and two terrifying figures, one white and one black, who looked like two old men, stepped out from the sky, emitting a wave that made the heaven and earth tremble.
In the bronze temple, dozens of figures with extremely powerful auras flew out at the same time, then bowed respectfully to the two figures, their eyes filled with extremely fiery looks.
"Your subordinate pays homage to the Left and Right Heavenly Lords!"
The resounding voice dispersed the chaotic mist around.
"Everyone, get up!"
Above the Ninth Heaven, an old man in a black robe said indifferently, with a gleam of bright light in his eyes.
"The eighth Heavenly Chaos Monument has been born, and the Lord of War has gone to get the ninth Heavenly Chaos Monument! Something has changed in the Time Cave. This time, the inheritor of the Red Dragon God of War is about to appear. Everyone, join us in setting up the Great Zhoutian Sealing God Formation to seal off the Time Cave! If Hua Tianzong becomes the inheritor, it will be fine. If anyone else becomes the inheritor, they will all be killed without mercy!"
The black-robed old man's voice was extremely cold and filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, sir!"
Dozens of powerful figures spoke respectfully at the same time.
The old man in white robe said calmly: "You are all the elites of my War God Temple. This time, the nine Heavenly Dao Chaos Tablets have gathered together, and the gate to the God Realm has opened. Everyone can enter the God Realm and gain immortality! The inheritance of the Red Dragon God of War can only fall on Hua Tianzong. Do you understand?"
"Thank you Lord You Tianzun for reminding us. We are very clear about this! This time, we should let them know how powerful our War God Temple is!"
At the front of the crowd, a figure in a green dragon robe spoke calmly, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
"What should the God of Time do?" asked a woman in a red robe hesitantly.
The black-robed old man, Zuo Tianzun, had terrifying thunder exploding around him. A hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he said a few words indifferently: "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven!"
"yes!"
Everyone looked stern and bowed their heads respectfully.
"Let's go!"
The old man in white robe, You Tianzun, glanced at everyone indifferently, waved his sleeves, and suddenly the sky shattered. Dozens of strong men instantly followed the two Tianzuns and flew in.
Outside the Cave of Time.
Many strong people who participated in the Chosen Conference left the Temple of Time and the Cave of Time early after being eliminated.
When the news from the Cave of Time spread, the many martial arts holy places waiting outside were almost in an uproar.
Especially the thousands of talented and powerful people who were eliminated in the second level, many of them were extremely angry, thinking that it was Ling Xiao who disrupted the Law Lake, which led to their early elimination.
Many supreme beings from holy places of martial arts were furious. Some even went to Long Lie to argue with him, but were beaten up and thrown out by Long Lie. They never dared to say anything again.
The angriest person was Kunlun Mountain's deputy headmaster Kong Tian.
The news of the bet between Kunlun Mountain's eldest disciple Duan Wuji and Ling Xiao was also spread by everyone. In the end, Duan Wuji lost and knelt down and shouted "I'm an idiot" three times. This made Kunlun Mountain lose face and became a laughing stock in many martial arts holy places.
However, Kong Tian was only at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm and did not dare to go to Long Lie to ask for an explanation. Instead, he was invited by the Star Emperor, the lord of the Star Palace.
That night, dozens of martial arts holy places that were hostile to Ling Xiao, including the Xingchen Palace, Emperor's Tomb Mountain, Tianyao Palace, Nantian Family, Kunlun Mountain, etc., gathered together, and it was unknown what they were discussing.
Because of the incident in the Cave of Time, the situation suddenly became turbulent.
Long Lie, who was sitting cross-legged outside the Cave of Time, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a gleam of brilliance, and said to himself: "You are secretly plotting against Ling Xiao, do you really think I don't know? Since you want to play, then I will play with you!"
Long Lie summoned strong men from some martial arts holy places such as Flame Mountain, Shura Sect, Sword God Pavilion, Dugu Family, and Taiyin Palace, and they also secretly united together.
In the Cave of Time, a year passes quickly.
Ling Xiao originally thought that the art of defying fate was extremely difficult to practice, but after combining it with the secret art of destiny, he found that the art of defying fate was practiced very smoothly. In less than a year, Ling Xiao had already comprehended the state of perfection.
Although the art of reversing fate is very strange, it is actually not as mysterious and profound as the secret art of destiny.
To sum up, there are only three ways to defy fate: breaking fate, burning lifespan, and defying destiny!
The so-called breaking fate is to use one's own fate to condense murderous intent and directly attack the enemy's fate. Once the fate is broken, it will disappear directly, and the whole person will be wiped out!
Burning life means burning your own life and releasing ten or a hundred times the power to attack the enemy's fate. The more life you burn, the stronger the power that bursts out will be!
To go against fate means to use one's own destiny to forcibly reverse the long river of fate, and to possess unfathomable power to destroy the world!
It was not until he practiced the art of defying fate that Ling Xiao discovered the horror of this martial art. It directly attacked the fate, and the methods were extremely weird. Even a powerful supreme being would be killed by Ling Xiao if he was not prepared.
Judging from the lethality and weirdness alone, this fate-defying technique can be said to be the most powerful of all the martial arts Ling Xiao has now!
Although the Seven Ultimate Divine Arts that Devour Heaven and Earth and the Ten Thousand Dragons God-Slaying Art are also very terrifying, the supreme strong man can defend against them if he has powerful means.
As for the art of defying fate, even if one wants to defend against it, one does not know how to do so!
"This fate-defying technique can only be used as a last resort. It kills one thousand but injures eight hundred of your own. It should not be used lightly unless it is a critical moment!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in Ling Xiao's eyes. The use of the fate-defying technique was not without limits. Instead, it was based on one's own destiny and condensed a supreme murderous intent.
If Ling Xiao used it recklessly, it wouldn't be long before his own destiny was exhausted and he would die completely.
"Choose a challenge!"
Ling Xiao recited silently in his heart, and suddenly the enlightenment platform in front of him flashed with light, and a mysterious figure appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
He was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. He was wearing a long robe and had a calm gaze. There seemed to be no fluctuations in his cultivation level.
He glanced at Ling Xiao calmly, with a hint of wonder in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that you would choose the Fate-Defying Technique, and even cultivated it to perfection within a year!"
