Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 793 - The Heavens always dictates



Chapter 793 - The Heavens always dictates

As a human who lived her life under great pressure, Shi Xingyun knew that she too has a limit.

That limit may have been raised due to her special abilities and exceptional physique, but she will still have that breaking point.

But luckily for her, she was still nowhere near her limit at this time.

This of course could change the longer that she stays in her current state…

"I am the Child of Heavens, hence my victory is always assured. There is nothing under the Heavens that can defeat me, as my path to victory is already set for me!" Shi Xingyun imperiously said as she directed her spirits forward. "Nothing is victorious against me, and those who are my equals will also fall from my blade!"

She was full of confidence in her tone, which is not a surprise given the power that she emanated.

[Hong long long~]

A tyrannical and ambitious aura of Conquering blossomed like a wild flower behind Shi XIngyun, protecting her from any tentacles that wanted to usurp her mind. As for her front, her gentle but domineering Immortal Qi covered her, which purified any corruptive aura that came close to her body.

These two auras, combined with the special techniques that she was using, made it obvious that this female cultivator has already assured her survival.

"…"

But even with all these moves, there was still a sign of unease on her face, which became more apparent when her gaze landed on the tentacles behind her.

"The heavens might have dictated my rise to hegemony, but it did not tell me all the obstacles that I will be facing…"

"I might be the victor, but all my enemies are still unknown, and one of them could lead to my possible loss..."

Shi XIngyun knew that she's safe from the tentacles which seeked to corrupt her, but for some reason, she could not help but feel dreaded by their presence.

And the more that she interacted with them, the greater her dread became.

It was as if there was an actual hidden danger from the said limbs, and they were only waiting an opportunity to afflict it on her.

"…The heavens did not lie to me, but I still resent it for making me fight this way!"

Naturally, this sensation made Shi Xingyun extremely irritated, as she did not want to be feeling this way.

She was supposed to have a pristine view about danger after all, and feeling dread like this shows that she has not yet gone over her mortal fears.

"…."

Or so what Shi XIngyun wanted to think.

She could be telling herself that she should not fear anything, but even someone like her knew that there are still enemies that if given a chance, could affect her negatively.

In this case, she instinctively knew the problems with her enemy, and she has no choice but to acknowledge them deeply.

"Tsk, I know that I should not be fearing anyone at this point, but even I knew that there are things that could spell the end for me."

"In this case, I know that my current enemy is someone that has the ability to corrupt my Dao Heart. This kind of enemy is the worse for a cultivator like me, and the fact that he is dead set on corrupting me shows that he knows what he can do against me!"

"And worse, this enemy is also a Conqueror like me, and it is obvious that he is coveting my Conqueror's Aura too!"

{{Author's Note: Shi Xingyun was also a Conqueror. Hmm, I wonder how Emperor Litch could have dealt with her if he had successfully defeated Alex...}}

Shi Xingyun could only do nothing but sigh, bidding her time as she continued beefing up her defenses.

She knew that lamenting about her enemy was nothing more but a way to waste her time, but what else can she do now, when all that her powers could do was to keep her alive?

"At the moment that Traveler Alex made his presence known in this world, my Conqueror's Aura has already informed me of his exploits." Shi Xingyun muttered. "That includes his dealings with the Abyss, and his ambitions against me…"

"I also know that his potential is even greater than mine, and that the heavens dictated him as one of my greatest foes. That alone is enough to make me wary of him, and now that he is trying to steal my power, he managed to be in my kill list."

"But even if I want to kill him now, what can I even do about it? Traveler Alex is clearly about to be devoured by the Abyss, with what he is doing now comparable to his death throes."

"I am sure that he will die once a few minutes have passed by…."

"That should be a desirable situation for me, but from what I can sense, I don't feel like this will favor me. After all, there is no way that Traveler Alex will just let us all off while he dies!"

Although there is nothing else that Alex can do that was able to hurt her, Shi Xingyun's average divination skills has informed her that the former will do something that could potentially damage her greatly.

Whatever is this action that Alex will do, Shi Xingyun has no idea about it. But she knew that letting it occur will be a fool's errand, even for her.

"Traveler Alex, whatever you are planning against me, I will make sure that you will not succeed on it. I swear that with my whole soul, and the heavens will be my witness!"

"So just you wait, Traveler Alex. I will make you fail here, right before you could even try!"

As a Traveler, Shi Xingyun knew how impressive Alex really is. His potential to Transcend alone was so great, that she could foresee him reaching this level in a few years.

Such potential is enough to make her think of befriending Alex, as she needed people like him for her own agendas.

It was just too bad that Alex has fallen into this state, leaving Shi XIngyun with no other choice but to oppose him.

"If you manage to survive this encounter Traveler Alex, then maybe we can rethink our current hostile relationship. Of course that will depend if you really could survive…"

Satisfied with the plans that she made at this point, Shi Xingyun has decided to wait for the opportunity to strike Alex down.

This opportunity could of course be extremely short and dangerous for her, but with her 'special treasure' on her side, Shi Xingyun is confident of narrowly eking out a victory here.

"The Heavens have taught me how to be patient. Hence, I shall be patient here too. I just have to wait for that moment, and victory will be mine. Just a few minutes of waiting is enough…"

At this point, Shi Xingyun's entire focus was all directed on her goal of stopping Alex.

Nothing else was able to distract her, not even the danger of being touched by the nearby tentacles.

"…"

She managed to stay in this state for as long as she wanted, and it will only end once she manages to land her blow on her target.

"…"

Or so she thought, as a message from a sword-wielding woman had easily broken her concentration.

[Travelers, the person speaking to you right now is named Alina, who is a Companion of Traveler Alex. I know I might be untrustworthy given the state of affairs here, but please hear me out.]

[I have a high suspicion that what is happening on us right now is in fact a Bonus Mission on itself. That is the only reason for the irregularity in the events here.]

[If you don't believe me, then ask your own Guides if we are under a Bonus Mission right now. Chances are they will not answer, as they are under a spell that prevents them from talking about it.]

[Go on Travelers, go on and ask them]

[Once you have done that, please talk to me. We can do a cooperative truce right here, with the goal of surviving this Bonus Mission.]

[If you want to win and survive, I advise that we all start cooperating now. If you don't want that, then you will be suspicious in my eyes…]
