Destiny High Martial Arts

Chapter 553 Inescapable Fate

The Primal Heavenly King, the End Heavenly King, the King of Deep Space, the King of Void, and the King of Order—these five thirteen-level divine lords all left their core divine power imprints on the Eternal Contract.

With the Eternal Covenant established, the golden scroll naturally formed a close connection with the five divine lords, and also with the Epoch Central Hub.

The Epoch Central Hub lacks intelligence; it is more like a vast yet complex energy hub.

Although a level thirteen god can break away from an era when necessary, he will also lose 99% of his power.

When the era was destroyed, they preserved their divine souls and origins by breaking away from the era; these losses were acceptable.

To break away from an era while it is functioning normally would be a tremendous loss that no god could bear.

The so-called eternal covenant is essentially a vow left by several divine masters using their divine power at the center of the era.

Breaking the oath will sever the eternal covenant and also sever a part of the connection between the God and the central authority of the era, thus causing great harm to the God.

The five gods watched as the golden scroll slowly disappeared into the depths of the void, and they all felt the connection from the Eternal Covenant.

Although the five gods still harbored deep suspicions towards each other, they at least reached a consensus on dealing with the King of Destiny.

As the one in charge of this matter, the Primordial Heavenly King was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something.

The void trembled, and a figure flashed. Gao Wu, dressed in a crisp military uniform, appeared before him.

Gao Wu was wearing large sunglasses, which covered his eyes.

Even with the power of the Primordial Heavenly King, he couldn't see through those sunglasses and couldn't see the glint of light and emotion in Gao Wu's eyes.

The Primordial Heavenly King was greatly surprised. How secretive it was that the five divine lords had convened together. This place was the abyss of the Netherworld, with layers of divine power forming a barrier.

The Netherworld is known as the Lord of the Deep Space. While it may not be as skilled in spatial manipulation as Chaos, it is unparalleled in terms of its profound and mysterious nature throughout the ages, with no other god able to compare with it.

It's incredible that Gao Wu was able to pinpoint their location so accurately despite such heavy protection.

Ever since Gao Wu forcibly took away Chu Guang, Yuan Shi swallowed his anger. After returning, he sealed off the Nine Heavens, opened the Endless Heavenly Net, and sealed off the endless void surrounding the Nine Heavens.

An era is so vast that even a thirteen-level god-king would have no way to enter a self-contained spacetime without spatial coordinates.

With the Nine Heavens and the surrounding void sealed off, Gao Wu could not enter using spatial coordinates. If he were to search slowly through endless space and time, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

The same applies to the Abyss God Realm, which is even more tightly sealed off. How did Gao Wu get in?

Could it be that one of the gods has secretly colluded with Gao Wu?

The Primordial Heavenly King thought this was impossible. If there really was collusion, how could that god be willing to sign an eternal contract?

Even more unbelievable is that Gao Wu actually dared to go to the Abyss God Realm and directly confront the five God Lords!

If Gao Wu had arrived a little earlier, and they hadn't signed the Eternal Contract, the other gods would have remained on the sidelines and watched the fight unfold, instead of intervening.

Now, however, the situation is different!

The Primordial Heavenly King didn't care how Gao Wu got there. He smiled at Gao Wu and said, "We were just discussing how to kill you, and here you are. Perfect timing!"

Gao Wu laughed heartily: "Sure enough, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

He asked, somewhat curiously, "How do you plan to kill me?"

The four gods of the End, the Netherworld, Chaos, and Order remained silent. It was the first time they had seen the true form of the King of Destiny, and they were all using their divine laws to examine Gao Wu, scrutinizing his divine power and the origin of his soul.

In the eyes of the several gods, Gao Wu's body shone with azure-gold divine light, clear as glass, without any filth or flaws.

Gao Wu's soul and body were perfectly rounded and complete, exuding a sacred beauty that surpassed everything.

The gods were all astonished; having lived through many eras, this was the first time they had ever seen such a perfect life form.

As a level thirteen god, being limited by the laws of divine power, he inevitably has various flaws and shortcomings.

Like the netherworld and the light, each wielding the power of darkness and light, both are in an extreme state.

Because of their extreme power, both the netherworld and the light also exhibit extreme energy in their bodies.

Although the Primal, the End, and the Order all possess powerful bodies, they are ultimately merely shells that bear divine souls, and cannot truly be unified with their divine soul power.

Only Chaos is special, possessing an indestructible innate body, and its soul is the same.

However, influenced by the primordial chaos, his body and soul were in a state of chaos. He was strong, but he lacked true depth and structure.

In other words, no matter how strong the power of chaos is, it has no system of its own. It is merely a powerful god who follows its innate origin and acts on instinct.

This is why, although Chaos is extremely powerful, it does not hold a high position among the gods due to its lack of intelligence.

Gao Wu, however, was different. He possessed both physical and spiritual strength, and his form and spirit were perfectly integrated. Simply by standing in the void, he exuded a rhythm of the Dao.

Or rather, it is the most perfect and harmonious state achieved through the orderly adjustment of powerful divine laws.

This alone surpasses the gods who have lived through countless eras.

The gods knew from Gao Wu's appearance that this King of Destiny was very powerful, more powerful than they had expected.

Therefore, neither the gods of the Underworld nor the End spoke.

They had signed an eternal pact, vowing to kill the King of Destiny with all their might. However, there was no need for them to rush into being the first to act.

The Primordial Heavenly King naturally knew what the other gods were thinking, and he was actually even more shocked.

When Gao Wu killed the King of Light, he was still strong in spirit but weak in body, and there was a clear problem between the two.

What truly made him wary was that Gao Wu had a level 13 companion. The two had a very complex and close connection.

Even at his peak, it's unlikely he could defeat two level 13 experts in his own Great Luo Heaven.

How long has it been? Measured in the time of a god, it's truly been the blink of an eye. Gao Wu has already achieved perfect physical and spiritual form, and his power is extremely strong.

The Primordial Heavenly King adjusted his stance and said, "We have endured the cycles of time without perishing. We are already supreme and exalted. What destiny could there be above us? You are the King of Destiny, so what are we?"

The Primordial Heavenly King coldly declared, "Today, we will defy fate and break this destiny!"

These words were spoken with an imposing air, displaying the domineering and majestic aura of a king who spanned eras.

Gao Wu nodded in approval: "With such heroic spirit, you are worthy of the name of Heavenly King."

Seeing Gao Wu's composure, the Primordial Heavenly King frowned slightly: "Do you really think that having the Mandate of Heaven will allow you to defeat us combined?"

When the Primordial Heavenly King and the four Divine Lords joined forces, no one within the era was able to contend with them.

For this reason alone, he didn't need to rush into action.

Even a dignified deity should maintain a basic level of decorum. Before taking action, not only should things be clearly explained, but communication should also be used to temper the high-ranking martial artist's arrogance and ignite the fighting spirit of the other deities.

This kind of communication is also very necessary.

Gao Wu smiled at the Primordial Heavenly King and said, "With the five Divine Lords joining forces, it is indeed difficult for me to win."

He paused for a moment before slowly saying, "However, since I am destined by Heaven, how can I fail to accomplish anything?"

As Gao Wu spoke, he pointed to the void ahead, and the golden scroll of the Eternal Contract that had just vanished into the void reappeared.

"I hereby terminate the contract in the name of the Destiny of the Era."

The command issued at the Gaowu Divine Soul level received a strong response from the Epoch Central Hub.

The source power of all the heavens and myriad worlds surged like boiling water at this moment, and all beings above the god level heard Gao Wu's deep, profound, and extremely grand voice.

God-level beings almost always instinctively submit and kneel at the level of their souls. Only by obeying this immense power can they avoid the violent impact on their souls.

The golden scroll disintegrated with a crash at Gao Wu's command, and the divine power seals left by the five divine lords also collapsed along with it.

The divine seal is like the signature of the deity, closely connected to the deity, but it has no direct influence on the deity.

However, the shattering of the divine seal meant that the eternal contract was completely invalidated.

Although the five divine lords were knowledgeable and had survived countless eras, they had never seen anything like this before.

An eternal contract recognized by an era can actually be forcibly eliminated!

Even with their extraordinary abilities, they couldn't see through Gao Wu's methods for the time being. They could only be certain of one thing: Gao Wu's connection with the Epoch was extremely deep, which was why he was able to retrieve the Eternal Contract from the Epoch's central core.

Gao Wu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The divine lords are cunning and treacherous, and they want to seize my Dao Fruit. Why do you have to get involved in this matter?"

The Netherworld and the End remained silent, but Chaos, being rude by nature, shouted, "Primordial said that a wisp of my spirit fell into your hands. Is that true?"

Chaos didn't care about destiny, but long ago, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Lord forcibly took away a wisp of his original spiritual essence, which greatly harmed him.

The Primordial Heavenly King said that Gao Wu possessed a wisp of chaotic spiritual energy, which Gao Wu had refined into a powerful divine armor. This triggered the rage of chaos, causing Gao Wu to come and form an alliance with the other gods.

Gao Wu glanced at Chaos. The two were very far apart, with Chaos's true form deep in the endless void.

Through mental connection, Gao Wu could see the true form of Chaos, a black giant ten thousand meters tall, with black energy flowing around him like ink.

This powerful god-king was filled with chaotic disorder. Any god-king below level thirteen would immediately go mad and lose all reason if their spirit touched the chaos.

Gao Wu frowned upon seeing Chaos; the mere sight of this giant irritated him.

This guy is so difficult to reason with; you can't reason with him either. And you can't fool him either.

The Great Wall of Time and Space is located on Earth. Chaos is someone whose mind is not clear enough, and he can see the true nature of the Great Wall of Time and Space at a glance.

He thought for a moment and said, "I have a wisp of chaotic spiritual energy in my hand; it turns out it was yours."

Chaos stretched out its giant hand and said, "Give me back my things."

"Can."

With a thought, Gao Wu sent the Limitless Divine Armor through the void and into the Chaos Great Hand.

"It's turned out like this..."

Chaos is not a sign of a lack of intelligence; it's just that it is influenced by its chaotic nature, making it unable to make long-term, orderly plans and mostly acting on instinct.

Having obtained the Limitless Divine Armor, Chaos immediately realized that it was indeed a part of the primordial spirit, only its life level was already at the same level as his.

Chaos was intrigued; he was determined to study this thing carefully. He disregarded everything else and immediately shut down his divine domain, severing all connections with the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, Chaos was dealt with by Gao Wu. Although he temporarily lost a set of Limitless Divine Armor, it wasn't a bad deal.

Gao Wu said to the two gods, End and Order, "Gentlemen, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why don't you leave now?"

The Heavenly King of the End didn't speak, but her silent eyes conveyed her refusal.

The figure is a woman dressed in white, her face veiled, exuding a cold and deathly aura, somewhat like a tomb covered in ice and snow...

The Heavenly King of Order declared, "The Mandate of Heaven is before us; I must see it clearly!"

The King of Order wore a golden robe and held a ruler in his hand. He looked like a serious and stern judge, and spoke in an exceptionally forceful tone.

Gao Wu didn't care. The gods were all extremely wise and had unwavering wills, so they couldn't be easily swayed by his words.

By breaking the eternal covenant, he not only shattered their alliance but also made the gods increasingly wary of him.

He said, "Things have come to this, there's no need to say more. The four of you who insisted on being my enemies and courting death are destined by fate, and there's no escaping your fate..." (End of Chapter)
