Chapter 523: Divine General on Earth

Fate is a mysterious thing.

It is a form of possibility.

The greater a person’s potential, the more vibrant the color of their Fate and Status, which can only be observed with Spirit Law—a higher-dimensional insight.

Ye Cang was born with a hidden dragon fate, a complexity that even some masters of Spirit Law cannot fully grasp.

This possibility is composed of four parts: one’s choices, talent, background, and opportunities.

Talent is, of course, the most fundamental and core possibility. If you are born as the child of a True Dragon, then possessing a hidden dragon fate is no problem; it might even be a true dragon fate because a True Dragon only gives birth to one child who inherits all the bloodline. As long as they do not perish, they will undoubtedly grow to become the next generation of True Dragon.

This leads to nearly a 100% chance of achieving a true dragon fate. The same goes for hidden dragons.

It represents that even if a person starts in a dire situation, there is still close to a 100% chance they will grow to become a True Dragon.

Once Ye Cang’s background was unraveled, it was revealed he was the son of a mysteriously powerful figure and would inevitably inherit the True Dragon’s Nine Transformations.

Thus, the question arises: even with the True Dragon’s Nine Transformations addressing the talent issue, the Fixed Sea Pearls providing protection, and a strong background continually offering opportunities, does a cultivator truly have nearly a 100% chance of becoming a soaring True Dragon?

If it were that simple, wouldn’t Honored Positions be mass-produced?

Ye Cang himself had an ordinary bloodline; he only possessed exceptional comprehension but had not reached the level where he could reverse fate through sheer understanding.

There were many aspects of his experience that even those of Honored Position could not interfere with, yet he would somehow miraculously overcome them no matter how many times he deduced them.

For example, Ye Cang opened his self-Mystic Heaven. Although the danger was exceptionally high and he only controlled the very low probability of the fourth-level Spiritual Law, he succeeded multiple times without a single failure.

After gaining the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, Yun Ye further understood causality and could indeed converge cause and effect, significantly increasing certain possibilities.

But what level of power is this?

Ten Heavenly Arts fused!

When calculated in terms of Honored Position, it presumably requires control over the authority of fate to interfere with Ye Cang at any cost.

Controlling causality and reversing fate is not without its price.

Even Yun Ye, when using such high-level Spiritual Laws, not only needs to expend massive amounts of magic power but must also bear an equivalent amount of causality.

Yet these causalities are dispersed across the universe by the Ten Heavenly Arts, so they do not appear evident. Without a cave sky, one can only endure—the cost is tremendous.

Even if Yun Ye maximized the power of an Honored Position to create the possibility of reaching that level, it would still require a Honored Being to sacrifice a thousand years of their lifespan.

If it is nearly a 100% chance of reaching Honored Position, then one Honored Being would need to completely sacrifice themselves, while at least three other Honored Beings would need to assist in sacrificing a thousand years of life each.

Moreover, they must have top-tier fate techniques; without them, even if they wanted to sacrifice, it would be futile as they cannot reach such heights.

Given the exceptionally ruthless characteristics of the world’s top cultivators, would they really pay such a huge price for a descendant?

Yun Ye did not believe it.

And this was just a hidden dragon fate.

So he kept deducing and eventually uncovered clues about Ye Cang’s father, who was a powerful figure.

This powerful being remained unaware of the scrutiny, and from this point onwards, Yun Ye actually knew that there had to be even higher-level individuals manipulating things from behind the scenes.

The subsequent reversal of Fate further confirmed this point.

Hidden Dragon’s Fate makes it difficult to control the Honored Position; the reverse Fate completely belongs to the domain of the Royal Path and even the Immortal Path.

In this special time, the emergence of such a being has only one clear purpose.

To become a True Immortal!

"To become a True Immortal, I don’t know how many corpses I must step over to ascend. The sunk cost is too great. I must say… this person can only be me."

Yun Ye’s figure gradually faded away.

…

God Mountain Forbidden Area.

Absolute Emperor Valley.

Ye Cang, after enduring countless hardships, defeated all the demon kings with his thin magic power and emerged from the special space. What awaited him was a pair of vertical pupils.

These vertical pupils were not in front of him; instead, they were over a hundred thousand meters high in the sky, shrouded by clouds, yet he could see them.

He saw these vertical pupils uncontrollably, along with their full form.

The body was immense, reaching into the clouds, covered in armor as rigid as magma, with an aura that spread for millions of miles, leaving all life extinct.

This was a demon known as the "Divine General on Earth"; accurately, this was a title, not a clan name, as each being in the Manifest Realm has their unique title.

In the Manifest Realm, unless intentionally concealed, one can immediately perceive the traces left by such beings in the world.

Cultivators below the Mystic Realm can only see the surface traces, which is their "title."

The stronger the cultivator, the more traces they can perceive, and the greater the fear they feel.

Originally filled with joy due to his opportunities, Ye Cang, whose foundation had been partially restored, suddenly became completely frozen.

This terrifying king of the Manifest Realm, who left him with no thought of resistance, was staring at him, watching him walk out from the valley step by step.

"Boom!"

Lightning and thunder rumbled, akin to heavenly punishment; the Divine General on Earth displayed unmistakable fury.

This emotion stirred the power of heaven and earth, causing thunder to crash as a white-blue beam of light descended with great force. Ye Cang was alarmed and struggled to summon the Fixed Sea Pearls.

The Fixed Sea Pearls responded to the great power and fully Revived, forming a formation of eighteen divine pearls.

Within a radius of several thousand meters, the special formation provided protection.

This barrier erupted with power beyond the Mystic Realm, forcibly stabilizing the thunder and temporarily keeping Ye Cang safe.

Just as Ye Cang showed a hint of delight, the Divine General on Earth raised his hand, gripping the peak known as the Sky-Breaking Mountain. The magma-like patterns spread from his palm throughout the Sky-Breaking Mountain.

The mountain, formed over millions of years, crumbled, revealing its true form…

A colossal sword, a full hundred thousand meters long!

Simply drawing it caused the world to tremble; the surrounding Demonic Power spread out like an octopus, creating a unique atmosphere belonging to this Divine General on Earth.

Enveloped in this aura, even though protected by the Fixed Sea Pearls, Ye Cang rapidly aged, both his body and soul withering simultaneously.

Facing such power, he could only feel despair, with no other emotions left.

In front of him stood… a transcendent life!

"Defile my emperor!"

"Die!"

The Spirit Sense shattered Ye Cang’s soul; he had already died beyond death. However, the Divine General on Earth was not satisfied enough to vent his anger. He raised the Sky-Breaking Divine Sword high and plunged it down. With a thunderous roar, it was as if stars were falling, and the ground was immediately lifted by tens of thousands of meters of crimson waves.

A disaster capable of extinguishing life countless times rolled over this land, with no one able to stop it.

When everything settled, most of the God Mountain Forbidden Area had turned into magma.

Only Absolute Emperor Valley still existed.

Even though it was extremely close to the attack, it remained completely unharmed.

After all, this was the place of the Divine General on Earth’s clan’s emperor’s fall, overshadowed by the regal power that lingered for countless years, even after its master had perished.
