Chapter 2886 Impermanence
General Red's beautiful face now appeared to Black Serpent like a demon, more terrifying than a blue-faced, fanged monster.
Within a hundred feet of the Thunder Dragon, the surging torrents transformed into lightning. General Red crouched low, thrusting his sword towards the Black Dragon:
"go with!"
It's just a thunderbolt, why all this fuss? The Serpent of Destiny wasn't afraid at first, but, wait a minute...
The instant the Floating Life Blade emerged from the water, the surging torrent went from motionless to still, suddenly freezing!
In an instant, the giant serpent of fate sensed the powerful and strange force transmitted through the torrent.
Twisted, sharp, and elusive. It was as if it were sitting on the crater of an erupting volcano, the surging force rushing upwards towards it.
At General Hong's command, wherever the lightning passed, the torrent actually reversed!
Long, long ago, General Hong once personally demonstrated the Reverse Flow Slash to He Lingchuan. With just a light strike, it could not only cut off the water, but also make the river flow upstream.
Back then, it was just an ordinary river, yet it greatly shocked He Lingchuan. Now, it's the torrent of fate, and General Hong has managed to reverse it all with a single hand!
The dark torrent is both the master of this dark sky and the main body of the giant serpent of fate.
Originally, the torrent was washing away the giant snake's prey, but now, suddenly, it is flowing upstream and the giant snake itself is being washed away.
"This is impossible!" The giant serpent of fate did not understand what kind of power this was, but instinctively loathed and feared it. "You have absolutely no chance of winning against the power of the laws!"
"You overestimate yourself," General Red laughed. "You dare call yourself a law? You're nothing more than the ancient god of fate's understanding of the laws!"
The Heavenly Demon solidifies his understanding of the laws and a portion of his divine power, which he calls "divinity".
The laws are objective, but the understanding of the laws is subjective and varies from person to person/god.
"Understanding" can have multiple dimensions, and it can be contradictory and self-contradictory. For example, different celestial demons may condense divine essences with the same name, such as "Frost God Essence" and "Space God Essence," but each has a different focus.
For example, General Red and the Black Serpent of Destiny held differing opinions on the outcome of the trial.
"Only the Dragon God is qualified to call himself the Law of Creation!"
The Dragon God truly introduced entirely new laws and powers to the real world, at the cost of his own immortal body being shattered to pieces, and even his divine soul being thrown into the Great Pot, where he has been driving the fusion of primordial energy with the world for thousands of years.
The hardships and contributions of these two groups are worlds apart.
Then, the Thunder Dragon pounced, tearing at the giant snake's body with its sharp claws and teeth.
The two colossal creatures clashed, their combined power shaking the entire sky.
The Black Serpent of Destiny quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, because although the Thunder Dragon's power was formidable, the Red General on its back was the most terrifying!
The blade aura in her hand had expanded to over a hundred feet, unleashing a torrent of lightning with every swing, like a reversed Milky Way. The Black Serpent of Destiny took two blows before discovering a strange corrosive power hidden within the blade aura, concealed beneath the lightning.
This power was more ruthless than thunder in its effect on the black snake's body.
The black snake scoffed, "This was originally He Lingchuan's trial alone. What right do you have to interfere?"
General Hong sneered: "This is a matter between you and He Lingchuan. What right do you have to let Karma interfere?"
Fate's Black Serpent + Karma VS He Lingchuan, two against one, it's unfair.
If they dare to do one thing, they can't blame General Red for doing another.
The Black Serpent of Destiny did not create any more clones. It was already struggling to deal with the Red General with all its might; if it were to divide its power further, it would likely be defeated even faster.
The Red General who perished alongside Panlong City two hundred years ago was not nearly this powerful. The Black Serpent of Destiny, having discerned what she had endured, felt fear.
Its body was covered in wounds, all torn open by the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon was also seriously injured, but both were able to quickly replenish their strength from the black smoke and lightning water.
As the black snake dodged another strike from the Floating Life Blade, a second figure, crackling with lightning, suddenly emerged from the torrent of lightning-covered waters behind it—
Yet another thunder dragon emerged from the water!
It was smaller but more agile, and it bit the black snake's neck without hesitation.
The black snake was caught off guard and couldn't dodge.
The appearance of the second thunder dragon signifies that the power of thunder in this space is rapidly increasing, turning against the original power of the Black Serpent of Destiny.
As soon as it appeared, Red General leaped up and pounced on the Black Serpent like a meteor. The latter, trapped by the Thunder Dragon, spewed black fire at her from its mouth.
General Hong neither dodged nor flinched, gripping the Floating Life Blade with both hands and unleashing a Meteor Slash with all his might.
Though named "Meteor," its fleeting brilliance was a hundred times more dazzling than the afternoon sun. The blade slashed into the black snake's gaping maw, cutting precisely from the junction of its upper and lower jaws all the way to the back of its head!
With a single cut, it was decapitated.
The blade's aura and time itself seemed to freeze in that instant.
Without the pull of fate, the black serpent's body rapidly disintegrated in the lightning, never to be reconstructed again.
The giant serpent, with only its head remaining on the ground, lay dying, yet still filled with resentment: "This shouldn't be! What kind of power is this?"
The dark sky is its domain! What power here could possibly surpass "destiny" itself?
“This is ‘impermanence’.” General Red stepped on the snake’s head and plunged his sword down until the hilt was gone. “The most fascinating and unpredictable aspect of fate is ‘impermanence’. You can’t even encompass ‘impermanence’, yet you dare to call yourself the power of fate?”
The thunderous strike she just unleashed could be called the "Impermanent Slash".
Life is unpredictable, and fate can be cruel.
How can a predetermined fate be rewritten? Impermanence.
It could be an unexpected mutation, or it could be the sudden emergence of someone.
This unexpected, explosive power is something even fate cannot match.
On the surface, this is a battle between the Red General and the Black Serpent of Destiny, but in reality, it is a contest between the Red General and the Ancient God of Destiny regarding their divine understanding and comprehension of the laws, and the latter unfortunately lost.
“No, this is not just the power of ‘impermanence’, and you are not just the Red General! Dragon God… Mitian… This is unfair…” The Giant Serpent of Fate was indeed not so easily deceived; it keenly sensed that the Red General had not told the whole truth.
But its voice was intermittent and disappeared before it could finish speaking.
Without the protection of fate, the black smoke of karma no longer dared to cause trouble. As General Red took a few steps forward, the black smoke all gave way, automatically clearing a large blank space.
General Red said only one word to it:
"roll!"
She gripped the Life-Burning Knife, and as soon as the blade moved, the karma dissipated.
The dark sky, which no supernatural powers or magic could break through before, disintegrated on its own.
Karma can only hinder General Red when it is combined with the torrent of fate; now that the divine essence of fate has been destroyed, what meaning does it have if it remains?
That's enough, let's disperse.
