Chapter 23 Eternal Seer Of Destiny
"What an interesting sight..."
A slightly old man with a white beard was looking at the fight with interest.
He does not have any eyes, instead of it, his eye sockets were shining with black crystal.
If one looks carefully, they would be able to see the whole universe inside those black crystals.
Unlike other experts, he was observing the battle from only a slight distance away from point of explosion.
But neither Evelynn nor Selene was able to sense his presence, he was clearly a Void realm cultivator.
His face was covered with a black mask.
He was the eternal seer of destiny.
A void realm cultivator who existed even before Xia Tian's first world, in which Xia Tian was originally born.
No one knows how long Eternal seer existed, all they know he used to be a seer... Unlike children of destiny who die after their purpose is fulfilled... Seers have no restrictions like this, so they can ascend to the void realm unlike the children of destiny.
"Let's play with these little girls ..." he said.
After that, his fingers moved across the space, and several runes floated.
It took him half an hour, to cast a powerful rune.
It was star-shaped as for its effect...
The rune will further intensify the emotions of whoever it is cast upon.
Eternal seer sighed deeply, he had to exhaust a large amount of his reserves, else his trick would be exposed.
With a slight push, the rune floated and got engraved in Evelynn's and Selene's skin.
They did not notice any anomaly and continued their battle.
Boom!
After a moment, Selene's body floated in space. She had a quiet expression but multiple small wounds were visible on her white skin.
She was tired of this catfight.
In the end, she stopped striking Evelynn, the latter who had suffered similar injuries halted and glared at her.
"Why did you stop?" Evelynn said, her hands continued moving in the air constructing a rune.
Selene narrowed her gaze and spoke. "You dare to accuse me of plotting against him but aren't you the one hypocrite here?"
Evelynn frowned at her words, while Selene continued. "You are the only one whom he taught runes among us... I wonder what type of manipulation you used to trick him?"
Her words were sharp but instead of getting angered Evelynn laughed.
"So, you are jealous!?"
Evelynn gaze further provoked the violet-haired woman, indeed she was jealous.
But it does not mean she ever plotted against Xia Tian.
Selene may plot against her sisters but never against him.
Whoosh!
Selene had already summoned her sword which was glowing with golden brilliance.
The girl who was normally able to control herself, let better go of her emotions.
She waved it swiftly towards Evelynn.
The rune in Evelynn's hand also moved forward at the same time.
The sword qi and the rune came into contact with each other and exploded.
Boom!
A large shockwave emitted out of explosions, Experts were pushed several realms beyond.
"Too powerful... " Night devil can't help but mutter.
The weak experts have long left unable to withstand the heavy pressure.
The battle continued again, this time the intensity of attacks were increased.
The rune is an ancient language, which can communicate with elements in the air directly.
One can only learn runes by themselves, by increasing their knowledge of elements.
Cultivators who already know even about runes will never share their knowledge with others.
The longer one lives the more one knows about elements... And the more proficient one gets in runic language.
One can say the five primordial beings should have perfect mastery of runic language, after all, they are the oldest beings in the universe.
This is the reason Xia Tian in the past would never bother to look out for the five primordial beings.
Even if by chance he encounters any of it, he would avoid it and escape.
He was a survival-driven person.
Xia Tian never taught these girls runes as it will make them too overpowered, and if they ever got out of control, he wouldn't be able to control them.
He did not want to teach it to Evelynn as well but was forced to teach because of a certain accident in the past.
Xia Tian could have explained the situation to other girls but choose not to.
One can say Xia Tian is too crafty.
He purposefully never bothered explaining things, so the girls trusted him, but not each other.
Xia Tian created a mechanism in which each girl will keep a check on the activities of other girls and tell him.
The girls only trusted him and not each other.
Each girl will constantly monitor the activities of other girls.
It means one girl is being looked around by four other girls at once.
This system of internal control created by Xia Tian transcends the system of Internal check in which one person keep a check on another person's work who in turn keeps a check on the former.
The old fox has failed a lot in the past... This is what differentiates him from others...
He has prepared the future for the seven girls even before they were born... Though there were some accidents like the twins' death that were not counted by him... Nonetheless, one can't account for everything.
In the end, he even made something good out of the twins' death.
The seven girls were not his first experiments...
There was a total of hundred girls...
92 failed...
Only 8 lived...
8th was the biggest failure of his entire life...
No one except destiny knows about it...
Only the all-seeing destiny knows about the eight.
Destiny can't move against the void realm cultivators but it doesn't mean Destiny can't see their actions...
Calling that girl 8th would be wrong... She was awakened far before the seven girls...
She was awakened in the third world by Xia Tian.
She was the first successful experiment which resulted in Xia Tian's biggest failure.
He failed due to his own belief...
In the fourth world, Xia Tian changed his belief, unlike other people who stick to their beliefs even after failing multiple times.
The battle was near its conclusion.
Evelynn has suffered fewer wounds as compared to other.
[World Destroying wheel.]
A large wheel-shaped rune floated above her head, it was shining with a golden luminance.
Seeing it Selene frowned, her body arched backward as she tried to make a defense for herself.
"This girl can even create this!?" The Eternal Seer of destiny muttered in astonishment.
He also moved back.
World destroying wheel can slice open a void realm cultivator skin.
The old man still remembers when he was facing that Master of Souls.
It was long back in time.
His body was destroyed after tanking this attack.
Though, the girl attack is on a far lower level than what he took back then.
It was fortunate, that he was able to escape with his soul and then build a new body for himself.
If his soul was destroyed, he would have been forced to reincarnate.
After reincarnation, his soul will still be of the Void realm cultivator, so he won't face any difficulty in rising from the immortal realm to the void realm.
But no one wants to cultivate from the beginning.
Xia Tian is an exception, he can cultivate from the beginning without any problem as he has five void realm cultivators protecting him, but other void realm cultivators don't have this luxury.
What if they get killed again even before they can reach the void realm?
Then they would again reincarnate.
In the end, it would become a vicious cycle of reincarnation.
Swish!
The wheel took off in Selene's direction.
Her face had a hint of panic as she observed the approaching golden light.
With a sigh, she flicked her hands.
Portals opened, and white threads instantly poured out of them.
It started covering her in a cocoon again.
This time the cocoon was hundred times larger than the previous one.
It can rival the size of a large realm.
The experts opened the portals and left the scene, they would not be able to take the shockwave from this attack.
Only three people were present now including the Eternal Seer of destiny.
A moment later, the white threads and golden wheel came in contact with each other.
Boooooom!
A deafening explosion was made on their conjunction.
Tremors were felt across the world.
The space was shattered.
Divine realm which was a hundred realms afar started breaking down.
Devil realm palace hall cracked.
It will take a large amount of resources for both realms to recover from this damage.
As for nearby realms they were engulfed by the void.
Inside the void, everything disappeared without a trace.
Evelynn looked around herself while gasping for breath. "Hah, hah..."
She was tired after this, this attack alone emptied her half reserves.
She stood in the void for a moment, then she observed the cocoon.
The cocoon was sliced in half.
"It is your fault, sister," Evelynn muttered.
There was an expression of guilt that disappeared the moment it came.
Then, Evelynn took a step and appeared in front of the cocoon.
She used her strength to separate the cocoon into both halves.
After being cut into two pieces it wasn't hard to separate it.
Instantly Evelynn's eyes widened.
"!!"
A cold hand was gripping her neck from behind.
"Do you really think, I would die like this?" a cold voice was heard from behind her.
Evelynn felt the grip tightening around her neck.
The latter gave a self-deprecating smile. "I underestimated you."
"Indeed," Selene sneered.
"From next time remember, I never manipulated him... I don't care about your prejudice against seers ... But I never did..." saying thing Selene gripped Evelynn's neck tighter, but Evelynn did not try to defend herself.
Seeing no reaction from Evelynn, a doubtful look appeared on Selene's face.
But before she can reflect upon it, Evelynn had turned around and was similarly gripping her neck as hers.
"!!"
The violet-haired woman can't help but curse inwardly. "Illusion!!"
The Eternal seer of destiny who was enjoying the show felt something wrong.
He looked down to find his both legs missing.
"Aaa!!!"
A scream escaped his mouth alerting both women, they instantly separated and stared in the direction of the earlier voice.
But even after using their soul sense, they weren't able to find anyone.
Eternal seer of destiny had long escaped.
Evelynn turned back to look at Selene but what greeted her vision was a black-haired woman still staring at the earlier place where the Eternal seer was present.
Her right golden eye shined in darkness sending a tremble across Evelynn's body.
Selene was similarly met by her right azure eye which made her shiver in her place.
Both the girls realized.
They have messed up!
Nyx threw his severed legs in front of them. "You guys are idiots."
Her voice carried indifference, but they can detect a faint sense of anger from her.
Evelynn lowered her head in shame...
She had gone too far, Selene indeed never used her powers against Xia Tian.
The violet-haired woman was surprised for a moment to see Nyx speaking, but then she realized her blunder as well.
She let Eternal seer play with her mind.
"He had forbidden killing between ourselves...This time I will leave you both, if it is repeated next time, I will throw you both in front of him." saying this Nyx turned around.
Though, her words sent ripples across the faces of both women.
Both have one expression.
Impossible!
Nyx won't tell this incident to Xia Tian??
"Don't be surprised, you both will owe me one," Nyx explained to them.
Selene and Evelynn exchanged glances.
Owing Nyx a favor??
It isn't that big price.
Xia Tian gets far more ruthless in punishing them, if they made a mistake, their powers would be sealed and they will be thrown into a stranded realm... They would have to live there until they reflect on it.
They weighed in all benefits and costs, and in the end, the benefits outweighed the cost.
Both nodded in agreement, and soon after it, Nyx's shadow faded away.
Nyx had a smug expression on her face before vanishing away.
Selene who noticed her smirk frowned.
The latter can't help but find something wrong with Nyx's looks.
It looked like she was mocking both of them.
It wasn't Nyx like to mock them?!
After a moment, Selene glimpsed at her figure and Evelynn's figure in succession.
"Fuck... "
Evelynn was surprised at the sudden voice.
She glared at Selene in confusion.
"We got played by her," Selene faintly said.
She did not bother to explain anything and disappeared.
The violet-haired woman was left annoyed by today's events.
Evelynn was left in bewilderment, she soon received a voice transmission from Selene.
[Tell him to be careful around Irene ... ]
Her words made Evelynn frown deeply.
Irene out of all the women??
"Is that woman even capable of being angry...?" she whispered to herself.
Evelynn was extra cautious because they don't have slave seals anymore, which means any of her sisters can harm Xia Tian.
But the possibility of Irene doing it!?
That woman can't even get angry!
That blue-haired woman is just too quiet.
But since Selene warned her, there must be something ...
After all, the people who are always calm are the most dangerous when they lose their temper.
When Evelynn was ready to move out of the void, she remembered something and similarly cursed.
"Fuck..."
Nyx played with them this time...
In the end, Evelynn can only shake her head and leave quietly.
The injuries in her body can't be healed in a single day.
Xia Tian would definitely notice it.
They are doomed.
The cracks in the space gradually healed itself...
