Jiang Fan spent five hundred years in seclusion, comprehending 108 laws. He realized that true power comes from condensing a Dao Seed and finding one's own Dao. Reflecting on his journey, he concluded that destiny was the key to his rise. He then perceived the threads of cause and effect that govern the universe, understanding that they are not predetermined shackles but the results of choices. He identified the Path of Destiny as the Dao most compatible with him, and began to integrate its insights into his being.

Rumble~~

In an instant, Jiang Fan sensed that the 108 laws he had comprehended were resonating at this moment.

The Law of Yin-Yang flowed in black and white, the Law of Birth and Destruction circled in silent reincarnation, the Law of Space-time folded through eternity, the Law of Cause and Effect wove threads winding around, the Five Elements Laws mixed five colors, the Law of Thunder roared with purple storm, the Law of Life shone with green brilliance, the Law of Death was shrouded in black mist, the Law of Stars let starlight fall, the Destiny Law surged with golden grandeur...

One hundred and eight laws, one hundred and eight supreme Dao Rhymes, either fiery, or chilling, or heavy, or illusory, or domineering, or mysterious, originally each had their boundaries, yet at this moment they were forcibly gathered by a supreme fateful attraction.

No collision, no shattering, only the fusion of all laws, merging from the same source.

The divine light of the 108 laws entwined, spiraled together, like thousands of dragons worshiping, thousands of phoenixes returning to their nest, with the Path of Destiny as the core, other laws as support, layer upon layer, wrapped and imprinted, slowly compressing, refining, purifying, and unifying in the chaos center.

The divine light grew increasingly intense, the Dao sound became increasingly vast, the Law Origin continuously condensed, from vast as an ocean to a thousand feet, a hundred feet, ten feet, one foot... finally transforming into a Destiny Dao Seed about the size of a thumb, chaotic and misty, circulating endless Dao Rhymes throughout.

Within the Dao Seed, 108 laws were clearly visible, revolving like stars, cycling like the endless Daos, hiding a complete Dao world, the orbit of fate, nodes of cause and effect, the birth and destruction of space and time, the transformations of yin and yang all within, every breath echoing with the Dao, every stillness and movement returning to destiny.

"Has it succeeded? Is this the Destiny Dao Seed?!"

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a glimmer of excitement.

He hadn’t expected that at the moment of finding the Dao belonging to himself, he would so effortlessly condense the Dao Seed, it truly was like water flowing naturally.

Obviously, having found a suitable Dao for himself, everything seemed so easy.

Moreover, this wasn’t an ordinary Dao Seed, but a Dao Seed condensed with 108 laws.

Ordinary Mahayana Cultivators’ Dao Seeds usually only contained five laws.

Even a peerless genius condensing nine laws would be quite impressive.

But now, to condense the full 108 laws is truly unprecedented.

He sensed that this Destiny Dao Seed contained a powerful Power of Destiny.

Amidst the void, he seemed to perceive the Path of Destiny deep within.

This Dao traversed the entire universe, covering every corner of the cosmos, enveloping all beings.

Along this Dao, numerous figures stood tall.

Clearly, these figures were Immortals practicing the Path of Destiny.

But the figures were few and sparse.

Undoubtedly, Immortals practicing the Path of Destiny were few and far between.

In the long passage of time, cultivators able to condense the Destiny Dao Seed were exceedingly rare.

In a sense, this was an exceedingly rare Dao.

It couldn’t match those popular Daos.

After all, cultivators and Immortals capable of perceiving destiny were exceedingly few.

Thus, naturally, Immortals walking this path would be extremely rare.

"But this isn’t really a true Dao Seed yet."

"It should merely be a prototype of the Dao Seed."

"To transform into a real Dao Seed, one needs to transcend the Immortal Tribulation, to become a True Immortal."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.

He sensed that this Destiny Dao Seed within him was indeed powerful, but still needed the tempering of the Immortal Tribulation to truly transform into a Dao Seed.

Nonetheless, he realized that his power had already undergone a cataclysmic change.

Firstly, his Primordial Magical Power had increased tenfold at the very least.

His body was filled with an overwhelming amount of energy.

A single thought could trigger a vast amount of Power of Laws between heaven and earth, resonating with the laws.

Before condensing the Dao Seed, he still needed to activate his Primordial Spirit to resonate with the surrounding laws.

But now it was different.

After condensing the Dao Seed, he could resonate with the surrounding laws at all times, as if constantly in Unity of Heaven and Man, no longer needing to activate the Primordial Spirit, it had become as simple as breathing.

This is one of the powers of the Dao Seed.

It is equivalent to the medium through which cultivators mobilize the Heaven and Earth Laws.

If grasped, then mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Laws would become dozens of times easier.

"The Primordial Domain has also transformed."

"Now it is no longer the Primordial Domain, it should be the Destiny Domain."

Jiang Fan’s heart stirred.

Centered on his body, with the Destiny Dao Seed as the core, a brand-new domain spread out.

The void around him suddenly trembled violently, not a physical collapse, but a fundamental wave caused by the manifestation of the Path of Destiny - the invisible Power of Laws awakening like a sleeping giant beast, a low hum piercing through the space-time barrier, coming from the depths of the void, shaking the stars and scattered Spiritual Qi around to a standstill, as if the entire world had paused.

His clothes billowed fiercely around him, a hidden golden destiny mark at his brow, the core pivot of the Power of Destiny, bursting with dazzling micro-light, only to be instantly devoured by a more intense, more profound, black force.

Countless fine threads of cause and effect gathered from all directions, some bright, some dim, bearing past entanglements, present choices, future variables, wrapping around him, but when touching that black force, they were forcibly torn, shredded, transformed into the most primordial destiny energy, pouring endlessly into the core.

The Power of Destiny, originally scattered in the void, now, with him as the absolute center point, crazily collapsed inward, solidifying, with no disorder, every thread of power was precisely arrayed by the laws, layer upon layer, impenetrable, ultimately forming a completely black, flawless sphere three feet in front of him.

This sphere wasn’t merely ordinary darkness condensed, it was purely black, eerily black, as if the origin of the void, or like an abyss devouring everything, akin to the most terrifying black hole of the universe, yet more intimidating than a black hole — while black holes can reflect the faint light of an accretion disk, this can devour all light, all breath, all space-time waves, even the slightest ripples of destiny, as long as it is close, it would be instantly absorbed, leaving no trace.

The surface of the sphere was smooth as a mirror, yet deep as an eternal cold pool, gazing upon it, seemingly able to see the countless rises and falls of lives, the rise and fall of civilizations, the cycles of fate, all destinies and impermanence confined within this inch of space within the sphere.​

The sphere rotated slowly, not at a fast rate, yet with an irresistible gravity, with every turn, leaving circles of twisted ripples in the void, where the void was being stretched, twisted, forming minute space-time fissures, yet under the influence of gravity, quietly swallowed by the sphere.

As the rotation intensified, the range of the black sphere continuously expanded, an invisible Domain Power emanating from the sphere flooded everywhere like a tide, enveloping everything in its path — the scattered Spiritual Qi extracted completely, even the passage of time became slow, sluggish, the entire void firmly controlled by this destiny black hole, plunged into silence.​

The Dao silenced, the laws bowed, those entering this domain, no matter their level of cultivation, the strength or weakness of their Life Chart, their destiny threads would be forcibly stripped from themselves, firmly absorbed by the sphere, past choices no longer counted, future variables dissipated, everything was absorbed into this black hole-like Destiny Domain.

He stood at the core of the domain, surrounded by a faint destiny halo, where his gaze fell, all were destinies confined, at this moment, Jiang Fan was the master of this domain, the penholder of destiny — fate beyond their control, destiny as determined by him, this void engulfed by the black sphere was the territory where he controlled all fates.

"It’s truly too strong."

Jiang Fan felt that within the Destiny Domain, he could control the destinies of all beings.

Of course, he knew it was just an illusion of his.

But in fact, the Destiny Domain compared to the previous Primordial Domain enhanced in one ability.

That was damage transfer.

It could transfer an enemy’s attack, along the lines of cause and effect, to another enemy.

Using another creature’s destiny to replace his own doomed fate.

One could say this ability has increased the defensive power of the Destiny Domain countless times.

It could even achieve using the enemy’s own strategy against them.

"This is already the power of an Immortal, isn’t it."

Jiang Fan’s heart surged with excitement.
