Chapter 1330: Overturn

The Diviner, held captive by Yu Beidou,his Golden Marrow and Jade Body likewise suppressed.Long Acacia easily pierced skin and flesh.Jiang Wang’s hand was steady, his sword true,penetrating the Diviner’s neck, yet avoiding the windpipe,leaving him wounded but not slain.This was his first time inflicting harm upon a God-Arrival realm master!Though in such peculiar circumstances…Maintaining his composure, Jiang Wang was about to withdraw his blade and strike again,to incrementally hack him to pieces,when the sword suddenly felt heavy.The Diviner’s hand gently reached out, not swiftly,yet tracing a destined path,grasping the blade as if to wrestle with him.His suppressed Golden Marrow and Jade Body could not resist Long Acacia's sharpness.Blood seeped from between his fingers.But his hand was equally steady.Two forces clashed upon the sword’s surface,causing Long Acacia to tremble and keen incessantly.“Good nephew-disciple,” Yu Beidou’s voice was low,“A trapped beast’s struggle cannot break the cage!”The Diviner, diverting his attention to deal with Jiang Wang,while Yu Beidou simultaneously suppressed both him and the Blood Devil,naturally pressed his advantage.The Diviner’s fingers, which should have been immune to harm, were the clear evidence.At this very moment, the situation was clear.With “Future Life” shattered, and Jiang Wang truly entered the fray,the Diviner saw not a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.Yu Beidou, calculating with divine craft,single-handedly suppressed both the Blood Devil and the Diviner.Jiang Wang, with his true heart and keen resolve,neither of them were ones to grant their foes opportunity.“Is that so?” the Diviner asked.He grasped the sword blade, and violently pulled to the left!As if having completely abandoned his struggle with Yu Beidou,and focused solely on contending for this long sword.The burst of power in that instant was terrifying,even dragging Jiang Wang forward, nearly prostrate on the ground.And under the Diviner’s control, the edge of Long Acacia,sliced more than half through his own neck!Blood surged wildly.No, not only that.The Spirit Nurturing Hall, the Five Palaces Sea, the Heavenly Connecting Palace…the sources of power Jiang Wang could sense within this God-Arrival body,were all collapsing.The terrifying power within this body was resolutely dissipating.It was not the first time Jiang Wang had witnessed the death of a God-Arrival cultivator,yet he was still inexplicably shocked.He had committed suicide!This was truly unexpected!How could a fellow like the Diviner, who regarded human life as grass,a top-tier master among God-Arrival realm,take his own life?Only then did Jiang Wang notice, that ever since he had pierced his neck with the sword,the Diviner’s eyes had remained fixed upon Yu Beidou, never shifting.Even at the moment he severed his own neck, he died facing Yu Beidou.He died by Jiang Wang’s sword, but his gaze was upon Yu Beidou.His hatred, his obsession, unspoken in any word,yet fully expressed in the silence!Jiang Wang couldn't help but glance at Yu Beidou.Perhaps having finally resolved the Diviner, needing only to seal the Blood Devil alone,Yu Beidou’s pressure greatly diminished.His right hand’s sword-finger still pointed at the Blood Devil,but his left hand seized the chance to wipe his face, clearing away some of the blood,then quickly returned to the seal.Only then did he smile, saying,“This one-legged young hero’s martial skill is truly exquisite!”Jiang Wang immediately felt his teeth ache intensely.With the Diviner’s death, the Ghost Head Blade stuck in Yu Beidou’s forehead,also slowly dissipated at this moment.Yu Beidou smoothed his brow,smiling with some relief,then said, “You seem quite surprised that he would commit suicide?”Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, saying,“It’s hard not to be surprised, isn’t it?After all, he was a master of that caliber.”“Actually, there’s nothing to be surprised about,” Yu Beidou’s tone was light.“The futures he saw were all dead ends, without any hope.No matter how he moved forward, it was only a matter of dying sooner or later.So he made the choice he considered the best… that is all.”Jiang Wang raised his eyebrow, “The future he saw?”“As you surmise, I altered the result of his divination…Actually, it wasn’t so much altering as simply erasing a sliver of hope that was already faint,”Yu Beidou said casually.“Precisely because he was already so strong, and his Blood Divination deeply cultivated,that he was so certain of the outcome…Once you understand this, you won’t be surprised by his suicide.”“Could he not have thought that the result of his divinationmight have been altered by you?”“Of course he couldn’t have thought that,” Yu Beidou said flatly.“Because no one before has ever been able to achieve this point.”Jiang Wang couldn’t help but tilt his head back…That sentence was truly arrogant!“Is it hard to understand? His Blood Divination, too, is a form of divination that directly questions destiny.Especially as a top-tier God-Arrival, a master diviner,to alter his divination result without being detected,one must meddle in the River of Destiny.And before me, no one, with a Cultivated Vision realm cultivation,has ever been able to achieve this point.”His words were becoming increasingly arrogant…He actually meddled in the River of Destiny!“What is the River of Destiny?” Jiang Wang asked.Yu Beidou said faintly, “As its name suggests.”Jiang Wang choked a little, but by now, he no longer felt Yu Beidou’s attitude was problematic.After all, he was a terrifying master capable of influencing the River of Destiny…It was understandable that he held himself with some reserve!He thought for a moment, then asked, “Is there truly a fixed future?”“Why ask me?” Yu Beidou said.“If you believe in it, it is a fixed future. If you don’t, you can still try.”“I thought you would say something like ‘fate is decided by heaven’…” Jiang Wang said.“If I said that, would you believe it?” Yu Beidou countered.Jiang Wang finally calmed his emotions,drawing his sword from the Diviner’s hand,slowly saying, “I only believe in the existence of one fixed future—that is the future I pursue.”“Words a young man would say,” Yu Beidou did not commit,only glancing at the dead Diviner, saying,“When I was young, when he was young,we both held the same idea as you.Of course, I’m not saying you will necessarily be changed.It’s just…”He sighed deeply, his expression desolate,“This is the dead end of divination.The further one walks on this path, the less one can escape fate.”Jiang Wang sheathed his sword.He did not understand divination, nor did he intend to offer any opinion on it.Although Yu Beidou seemed very formidable,he only wanted to collect his reward and quickly return to Qi country to heal his injuries.“I should go,” he said,and even glanced at his storage chest, as a hint.“Jiang Wang,” Yu Beidou suddenly said.Jiang Wang looked up, “Hm?”Then he heard the next sentence—“Don’t blame me.”Yu Beidou’s left hand, in a seal, suddenly flipped over, pressing down from afar.Jiang Wang whole person flipped over without resistance,prostrate on the ground.Thud thud!The Spirit Journeying Dragon Head Staff fell from his hand, rolling several times on the ground.Only the Long Acacia, still tightly grasped in his hand,as if he would not let go even in death.Then…The vibrant life force withered in an instant!Even a cultivator of the Inner Palace realm, the first in historical records,could not withstand a single palm from Yu Beidou!In the blink of an eye, within this cave in the cliffs of Soul Severing Gorge,only Liu Huai and Yu Beidou remained.The white-faced, beardless Blood Devil blinked, saying with much displeasure,“This is what I hate most about you humans.You always make a move while chatting, and overturn the table while eating!”Yu Beidou was expressionless, only saying calmly,“Sometimes we only chat, and sometimes we only eat.And you will forever only overturn tables. This is the difference between us and you.”“You mean to say you understand hypocrisy better?” the Blood Devil asked.“There’s no need to discuss this with you,” Yu Beidou said.“Are you ready?”The Blood Devil smiled confidently,“To erase me, that is a long process.I have been preparing, hoping you won’t have moments of drowsiness.”“Is that so?” Yu Beidou asked in this manner.The Blood Devil suddenly felt this question, this tone, was very familiar.After a slight thought, he remembered…It was the same question the Diviner had asked.It had just happened not long ago!And then, in the very next moment,the corpse still lying upon him,“exploded” entirely.It shattered so finely, so completely.Exploding into a mass of bloody mist, it suddenly expanded,filling the cave with its vapor.Yet it caused no harm.As if the meaning of its explosion existed only within the explosion itself.The bloody mist flowed, distorted,vaguely forming a seal.As if communicating with some unknown place.An aged voice, seemingly half-asleep,sounded at this moment—“Who, calls upon me?”
