Doomed

"My original plan was that after my return, I would borrow the power of all living beings to shatter the cage of heaven and earth and escape the Meteor Abyss. But this process would inevitably mean facing Heaven Beyond Heaven directly. Your appearance, however, gave me an opportunity!

I lured the people of Heaven Beyond Heaven down to the lower realm with the intention of making both of you suffer heavy casualties, thereby playing the fisherman who catches both the snipe and the clam, and obtaining the World Authority!

However, your strength exceeded my imagination. At the critical moment, you actually devoured the power of all living beings.

But regardless of who wins or loses between you two, the final result is the same. I am the only true victor!"

Lin Daoxuan delivered his speech endlessly, feeling extremely delighted in his heart.

"Gu Qingfeng, if you hadn't ruined my body snatching plan, I wouldn't have possessed Immortal Lord Qijue. After possessing Immortal Lord Qijue, I finally realized that this was actually the best choice!

With my foundation of ten lifetimes, combined with Immortal Lord Qijue's eighth ultimate skill, the Divine Eye of Destiny, I was able to breed such a heaven-defying divine ability as Destiny Conversion!

Now that I stand above the River of Destiny, who among you can be my opponent!? Hahaha..."

"Have you laughed enough?" Gu Qingfeng said flatly.

Lin Daoxuan's laughter paused slightly, and then he chuckled, "No."

This single sentence successfully amused Gu Qingfeng.

"Jiejiejie... Lin Daoxuan, don't forget that your three confidantes are all in this Emperor's hands. Their bodies have been infused with demonic aura. With just a single thought from this Emperor, the three of them will meet their makers.

Even if you possess the World Authority, it is useless. The World Authority cannot control this Emperor's demonic aura.

So, it is time for you to make a choice. Do you want your three confidantes, or the World Authority?" Gu Qingfeng threatened.

However, facing the threat, there was not a trace of hesitation in Lin Daoxuan's eyes, but rather full of mockery.

"Gu Qingfeng, does a figure like you naively think that I would truly be tied down by romantic attachments?"

"Oh?" A look of intrigued amusement formed on the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth, seeming quite satisfied with Lin Daoxuan's current state.

"What do women count for when compared to the Great Dao? The reason I saved them before was merely out of consideration for our past affection. I saved them, I did my best, and that is enough. I have done everything that could be expected of me. As for the failure of the rescue, that has nothing to do with me; it is just their fate.

Must one throw their own life away just to save someone?

Now you are using the lives of the three of them in exchange for the World Authority, which is even more ridiculous.

Gu Qingfeng, with your character, if I gave you the World Authority, would you really let the three of them go?" Lin Daoxuan sneered.

Gu Qingfeng chuckled and shook his head, "Naturally not."

"Hmph, so, since these three will die no matter what, why should I hand over the World Authority?"

Clap clap clap...

Gu Qingfeng applauded with great appreciation. "It really has been a long time since I have seen a protagonist as clear-headed as you. It is just a pity that you committed a major taboo. Did you really think this Emperor talked with you for so long just to hear you brag?

Feel it carefully, is there something unusual about your body?"

Lin Daoxuan was startled at first, then sneered, "Playing tricks!"

He didn't believe that Gu Qingfeng could pull any tricks right under his nose.

However, in the next second, Lin Daoxuan's expression changed drastically. He suddenly sensed that many different things seemed to have appeared in his body.

"This is... Tribulation!!"

Lin Daoxuan instantly reacted. It was as if there was a tribulation black hole in his body, silently drawing in the boundless tribulations from heaven and earth, madly converging them upon himself.

Just during the time he was speaking, an immense amount of unseen tribulation had already accumulated.

Just now, due to Lan Caidie's world-destroying attack, many tribulations were generated on the battlefield, and now, all these tribulations were converging on Lin Daoxuan's body.

"Damn it! When!!" Lin Daoxuan roared madly, the Divine Eye of Destiny looming in his eyes as he looked at Lan Caidie, who was suffering from poisoning nearby.

Seeing Lin Daoxuan entangled in tribulations and looking at her, Lan Caidie was immediately terrified.

"Lin Daoxuan! You bastard! Can't you transfer it to Gu Qingfeng!! Why must you stare at me!"

Lin Daoxuan could not help but curse Lan Caidie inwardly for being brainless. Gu Qingfeng could control tribulations, so transferring it to him would be completely useless and might even cause a backlash. Of course, I have to look for you.

Just as Lin Daoxuan was thinking of executing Destiny Conversion as before to transfer the tribulations entangling him to Lan Caidie, he was horrified to discover that Destiny Conversion had failed!!!

"How is this possible!! My power of destiny actually can't do anything to your tribulation!?" Lin Daoxuan felt it was unbelievable. It wasn't that he hadn't encountered calamities and tribulations before, the most obvious being the Heavenly Tribulation.

He had roamed unhindered for ten eras and had survived countless Heavenly Tribulations. Sometimes he had even shattered Heavenly Tribulations.

Yet now, his power of destiny could not contend with this calamity.

What Lin Daoxuan did not know was that Gu Qingfeng's calamity was not some random tribulation floating around in the world, but the Origin of Calamity. To contend with this origin-level power, the power of destiny alone was not enough; it required the Origin of Destiny.

"Jiejiejie..." This time it was Gu Qingfeng's turn to hold the winning ticket.

He looked at Lin Daoxuan, who was covered in tribulations, and laughed wildly, "Lin Daoxuan, did you really think that when the three women sneak-attacked you, they merely injected toxin into your body?

Along with it came a Tribulation Seed from this Emperor!

What a pity, you originally didn't have to die. As long as you had fled the Meteor Abyss the moment you obtained the World Authority, not giving the Tribulation Seed time to grow, you could have lived.

Yet you chose to stay behind and show off. Tell me, if you don't deserve to die, who does?"

Obviously, Gu Qingfeng started to show off. Right after scolding Lin Daoxuan for showing off, he turned around and started doing it himself.

Well, as a person, it's better to have double standards. Be lenient with oneself and strict with others, and then one will be very happy.

"Inescapable Doom!"

Following Gu Qingfeng's low shout, Lin Daoxuan's heart began to glow, and an incomparably pitch-black seed emitted a dark light.

It was exactly the Tribulation Seed!

The Tribulation Seed beat like a heart, and every beat drew upon the boundless tribulations in the unseen world.

When boundless calamities fall upon someone, no one survives.

Gu Qingfeng named this move Inescapable Doom!

Boom!

The sky-filling tribulations converged at a visible speed. Because their quantity was too massive, the invisible tribulations actually revealed physical forms, like pitch-black chains.

Hundreds of millions of calamity chains wrapped around Lin Daoxuan's body. He struggled desperately, however, no one can escape tribulation!

All his divine abilities could not shake the tribulations at all.

"Lin Daoxuan, have a safe journey. This Emperor will take good care of your confidantes for you, jiejiejie..."
