Faced with the overwhelming might of the Hundred Sects Alliance, bolstered by SkyScraping Tower experts, the Loose Cultivator Pavilion was forced to retreat. Despite heavy casualties and calls to withdraw, Alliance Leader Pei Wu refused, citing the need to protect their families and the potential loss of support from the Immortal Sect. He rallied his remaining forces to fight, even as a SkyScraping Tower expert severed his hand in battle.

The blade shattered, so fists were employed.

"Annihilate every last dog from the Hundred Sects!"

"Since you're dogs, stay down!"

Every individual from the Wanderer Post bellowed, with some even launching themselves at the formidable fighters of the Shrouding Sky Pavilion.

Perhaps it seemed a touch too audacious.

But it represented his personal confrontation with the inner mountain he carried.

He harbored no fear of demise.

Even in death, he would not yield!

For the Alliance Leader remained at the forefront!

At that critical juncture, the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert from the Shrouding Sky Pavilion let out a roar of fury, abandoning all restraint. He metamorphosed into a blur of motion, hurtling towards Pei Wu and sending him soaring into the heavens with a solitary, potent kick.

"I shall rend you into a thousand pieces before all eyes!" The Earth Unrestricted expert from the Shrouding Sky Pavilion spat curses as he brandished his sword, while Pei Wu ascended, observed by the entire assembly!

"Alliance Leader!"

"Do not lay a hand upon our Alliance Leader!"

"Curse the Shrouding Sky dogs, perish by my hand!"

The formidable warriors of the Wanderer Post mounted their Wing Race demons, ascending into the sky in a charge against the Earth Unrestricted expert from Shrouding Sky Pavilion, akin to moths drawn to a deadly flame. Yet, the Earth Unrestricted expert executed but a single maneuver.

Those who dared to charge were cleaved asunder, and the battlefield became awash in a crimson deluge of bloodrain.

"Alliance Leader!"

"Alliance Leader!"

A chorus of hysterical cries erupted from everyone.

They desperately yearned for a miraculous turn of events.

But this plea only amplified the sinister and triumphant laughter of the Earth Unrestricted expert from the Shrouding Sky Pavilion.

His laughter, filled with fiendish delight, ceased abruptly.

It was abruptly silenced by a distinct sound.

"Merely a Middle Realm cultivator, yet you presume to act with such tyranny."

A lightning-fast streak emerged from the direction of East Lake, and in the blink of an eye, arrived before the Earth Unrestricted expert from Shrouding Sky Pavilion. Immediately following, a divine radiance descended upon the world!

Whoosh!

The celestial light, extending for hundreds of meters, bisected the Wing Race Demon God cleanly, affording it no opportunity to even register the attack.

Splurt!

The colossal form of the Wing Race Demon God ruptured, unleashing a cascade of blood that painted half the heavens a deep crimson.

Upon witnessing the vanquished corpse of the Wing Race Demon God plummeting earthward, the innumerable members of the Wanderer Post dissolved into tears of sheer elation.

A miracle had occurred!

Reinforcements had arrived!

Conversely, individuals from the Hundred Sects Alliance were struck with expressions of sheer terror. Within their hearts, this Wing Race Demon God was considered a supreme entity, a being akin to a deity, symbolizing ultimate invincibility.

Yet, such a godlike existence was obliterated in an instant!

Just how formidable must the newly arrived individual be?

"Wanderer Post shall emerge victorious!"

"Wanderer Post shall emerge victorious!"

Amidst the thunderous cheers of hundreds of thousands, the face of the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert from the Shrouding Sky Pavilion turned ashen.

He discerned the power of the newcomer – an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm cultivator!

Consequently, he harbored no inclination to flee, for he was acutely aware that escape was an impossibility.

"Senior, this is but a misunderstanding, a grave misunderstanding!"

The Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert from Shrouding Sky Pavilion, observing the Sword Demon who had caught Pei Wu, hastily offered his apologies.

Pei Wu, crimson filling his mouth, managed a weak, wry smile. "Thank you... Senior... for preserving my life..."

The Sword Demon offered a slight nod, then declared, "I shall leave the remainder to you. This individual is mine to handle."

With those words, the Sword Demon dispatched Pei Wu downwards, then instantaneously returned to the sky. Upon his reappearance, he unleashed a kick upon the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert, sending him hurtling thousands of meters away, crashing through multiple mountains before finally coming to a halt.

Witnessing this astonishing display, Pei Wu and the assembled members of the Wanderer Post could only stare in awe.

So overwhelmingly powerful!

An entity that had previously seemed invincible in their eyes now couldn't withstand a single kick from an expert hailing from the Immortal Sect.

"I knew it! The Immortal Sect would undoubtedly be the Wanderer Post's ultimate bastion of support!" Pei Wu exclaimed, his delight immediate, before plunging back into the fray against the ranks of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

The rest of the Wanderer Post followed suit, their resolve bolstered.

This time, it was the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance who turned in panicked flight.

High in the heavens, the Sword Demon struck once more, cleaving the very earth to create a chasm a thousand meters in length. Within it lay the deceased expert from Shrouding Sky Pavilion, utterly devoid of any chance to retaliate.

"So feeble... Naturally, only one as weak as you would venture to Heaven and Earth Lake to perpetrate such tyranny."

After dispatching his foe with a single, decisive blow, the Sword Demon retrieved a Sound Transmission Stone. "Elder He, one target has been dealt with."

Concealing the Sound Transmission Stone, the Sword Demon once again became a swift projectile, soaring towards the remaining nine battlefields.

Except for a single individual dealt with in three swift moves, Sword Demon dispatched the others with but a single strike.

To Sword Demon, these adversaries were akin to mere fodder. On the actual battlefield, confronting equally matched opponents, even ten would struggle to overcome one.

Following the successful resolution of the crisis at Wanderer Post, Sword Demon wasted no time, proceeding directly to the primary combat zone to rendezvous with Huaikong and Shifeng.

...

Meanwhile.

Within the confines of the Final Forbidden Area.

Wei Xingyu ventured in once more, emboldened by an additional life, daring to penetrate deeper.

However, after advancing merely a hundred miles.

He was detected again, subjected to a pursuit, and ultimately, completely consumed.

"Why is this Final Forbidden Area so fraught with peril?" Wei Xingyu, respawning at the perimeter of the Final Forbidden Area, felt decidedly unwell.

With no other recourse, Wei Xingyu was compelled to depart Fa Yuan Valley and subsequently expend Sect Task Points for another attempt.

Yet, for the third iteration, the outcome remained identical.

This time, however, aware that death inflicted no lasting harm, Wei Xingyu unleashed his full repertoire of skills. After all, his prior combat experiences and acquired techniques remained at his disposal, enabling him to evade capture for a hundred miles before succumbing.

Sensing his impending demise once more, an ancient tomb materialized abruptly beneath his feet. With keen observation, Wei Xingyu noted the pursuing Demon God falter, its gaze fixed upon the tomb with evident apprehension.

A surge of elation coursed through Wei Xingyu; seizing this sliver of hope, he charged downwards.

Upon reaching the precipice of the ancient tomb, the colossal Demon halted its pursuit, effectively guarding the entrance. Left with no alternative, Wei Xingyu entered the tomb.

To perish within the tomb was undoubtedly preferable to being devoured by the Demon God.

As he ventured into the tomb's depths, Wei Xingyu discovered the path ahead inexplicably widened, leading to an unexpected juncture with three diverging paths.

Each divergence was marked by an inscription.

The leftmost path bore the inscription—Dead End!

The rightmost path declared—Life Path!

The central path's inscription read—Everything is predestined!

"Everything is predestined." This declaration struck Wei Xingyu with the force of lightning, rendering him momentarily speechless.

All fates are already charted.

This sentiment resonated deeply with his personal convictions.

He held an unwavering belief in destiny!

Convinced that his survival through immense peril and his subsequent affiliation with an extraordinary Sect like the Immortal Sect were not mere coincidences but part of a grand design.

"Without the demon's relentless pursuit, I would never have entered this place. Had I not entered, I would never have encountered these three paths." Wei Xingyu made his definitive choice, selecting the central path, guided by his conviction in predestination.

Perhaps, within this path, lay a profound opportunity!

Concurrently, the moment Wei Xingyu set foot on the central path, a notification materialized before Wen Ping's eyes.

Wen Ping, en route to Cyan Dragon Cave, observed this alert and his initial inclination was to dismiss it.

However, upon perusing the text of the pop-up notification, he paused.

The display read—Final Forbidden Area, Life Technique Inheritance Land has been officially opened.

"Life Technique?"

Wen Ping inquired from the system with a touch of suspicion.

"The Life Technique is a highly specialized methodology, mastering a profound and unique law governing the cosmos. Upon achieving mastery of a Life Technique, one gains the ability to perceive the intricate threads of others' fates and, by extension, subtly influence their destinies," the system elucidated.

"Such a method exists? Does it not possess an excessive degree of power? To alter the fates of others."

"In truth, Host, you have already indirectly altered numerous destinies; the Life Technique simply offers a more direct conduit for such influence."

"Who was responsible for activating the Inheritance Land?"

Following his question, a holographic projection emerged from the system.

Within this visual representation, Wei Xingyu was depicted traversing the walkway within the Inheritance Land. As he advanced, the starlight embedded in the walls ahead illuminated sequentially, evoking the imagery of a celestial walk of fame.

"It appears Wei Xingyu possesses a considerable measure of fortune, securing the inheritance of a Life Technique capable of manipulating the destinies of others. Should the leader of the Shrouding Sky Pavilion at the Endless Celestial Suspension become aware of this development, they may find themselves unable to remain composed."

A sense of delight permeated Wen Ping.

For the Immortal Sect to gain an individual proficient in Life Technique was tantamount to acquiring an entire cadre of formidable experts.

It could even be posited that Wei Xingyu, upon mastering the Life Technique, would surpass the caliber of the so-called Earth Unrestricted and Celestial Unrestricted individuals in certain crucial aspects.

This is because the capability to alter another's fate is an extraordinary feat, unattainable by the common cultivator.

If such a power were to exist, it could only reside with an Immortal.

However, this world bears no Immortals.

"Might we henceforth refer to Wei Xingyu as 'Wei Demi-Immortal'? The triumphant son of destiny, Wei Demi-Immortal!"

A smile graced Wen Ping's lips as he deactivated the system interface.
