Chapter 804: Chapter 804

Li Pin stepped forward with his sword in hand.

"Eternal Oblivion..." he muttered.

The saluting Divine Race's Tyrant before him was suddenly engulfed in flames. His divine body and inner spirit blazed like a star, radiating a brilliance so intense it seemed capable of lighting up the entire world.

Pure brilliance, laced with destruction at the limit of the Tyrant energy level, surged uncontrollably from his body. It was on the verge of erupting in all directions.

And yet... Li Pin showed no trace of fear. Even with a Tyrant of the Divine Race standing before him, ready to sacrifice everything for one final blow that would bring about their mutual destruction, he remained utterly unshaken.

Instead, he faced it head-on. The brilliance of the Endless Reincarnation Secret Art flared from his True Spirit, freezing the space before him

"Very well. As long as you can... block my strike."

Li Pin responded with a sword strike of his own. It followed the path shaped by his inner spirit and energy. Forged in the past, unleashed in the present, it moved beyond time and space, piercing straight into the future.

Having prepared for his final, fatal blow, the Divine Race's Tyrant felt his mind tremble. His thoughts seemed frozen in that moment.

In that hazy moment, he saw Li Pin swing his sword. Or maybe he didn't. But it didn't matter whether he "saw" it or not. What mattered was that he couldn't block it.

Even with all his strength and understanding, he couldn't describe what he had just felt. It was as if... the moment Li Pin swung his sword, the Tyrant was already dead. The sword light had pierced his divine body and crushed his inner spirit.

It was just that, due to the sword's speed, or perhaps due to the delay of time and space, his body still appeared alive. Like a blade so fine it sliced flesh without it falling apart, his body remained intact... for now.

With great effort, the Tyrant mustered one final surge of inner spirit. "What... sword technique... is this...?"

Li Pin paused, thought for a moment, then replied honestly, "I haven't named it yet." Thıs content belongs to novel{f}ire.net

The Tyrant's mind stalled. "You..."

In the next instant, a rending force tore through his divine body, his mind, and his inner spirit.

The immense power he had ignited spiraled completely out of control. The moment it erupted, the Eternal Oblivion Force responded.

From the outside, it looked as though the Tyrant of the Divine Race had become pure light, bursting with a blinding brilliance. But before the light could burn or destroy, darkness consumed it in an instant.

Every trace of energy vanished, melting away like snow under the sun. The force quietly returned to the world—as if the Tyrant had never existed at all.

Li Pin took a few steps back, distancing himself from the creeping Eternal Oblivion Force.

His Infinite Star Abyss Body had already been shattered after repeated clashes.

Despite the damage to his technique and being tainted with a touch of the Eternal Oblivion Force, Li Pin felt deeply satisfied with the battle.

"The power of the past, drawn out through the Endless Reincarnation Secret Art, is essentially a Supreme Secret Art I created on my own. By extrapolating from the Phantom Space Technique, I carved out a path beyond the Supreme tier and pursued it resolutely with my present self.

"I haven't fully mastered the third level yet, but it still counts as a legitimate cultivation method. The Quantum Sword Intent, born as an innate divine ability from the Phantom Space Technique, resonated with the Ruoxi Sword through spacetime itself, amplifying its power. That, too, qualifies as a sword technique I created..."

He had yet to become a Heavenly Emperor and still needed the Ruoxi Sword to properly wield this technique. However, he had a strong sense that once he truly comprehended space and time, the groundwork laid by this sword technique would allow him to step into the realm of spacetime mastery in one smooth transition.

In other words, once he became a Heavenly Emperor, mastery over time and space would follow naturally.

With his own secret art, a cultivation method, and a unique sword technique already under his belt, all that remained between him and the title of Divine Emperor was a Supreme Divine Weapon suited for him.

Li Pin murmured, "Also... the name Quantum Sword Intent no longer suits what it has become."

Just as the original Primordial Supreme Technique had been reshaped and reborn as the Phantom Space Technique, it was now time to rename both the Quantum Sword Intent and the Endless Reincarnation Secret Art.

Endless Reincarnation... From fortune, reincarnation, and destiny emerge the past, present, and future.

The strong persist, constantly pushing forward. With their strength, fortune gravitates toward them. They perceive the cycle of reincarnation, seize control of their fate, and reshape their past, present, and future. Thus...

"The Endless Reincarnation shall be renamed the Heavenly Fate Art."

Of course, destiny and the future are never certain. What he called destiny and the future were the result of careful deduction.

It could also be named the Heavenly Fate Derivation Art or the Heavenly Fate Unfolding Art. In the end, it was a secret art on the inner spirit level. Its main purpose was to elevate the practitioner's inner spirit. It offered little aid, however, to the impact on the Material World, or its ability to control it.

"Since it's now named the Heavenly Fate Art. When it activates and projects the power of the past like the light of a True Spirit, I'll call that projection the Heavenly Fate Light."

Once this concept settled in his mind, Li Pin felt a surge of clarity. It was as though this realization itself affirmed his Dao.

It meant that he had gradually freed himself from the influence of others. From now on, he would walk his path without hesitation, guided solely by his own standards.

With this realization, his thoughts shifted to the Quantum Sword Intent. The new Quantum Sword Intent transcended space and time. Perhaps it should be called the Sword of Beyond or the Spacetime Sword...

But none of those names felt quite right.

He considered the greatest dilemma faced by the Highlords and Supremes. They couldn't even escape this universe, let alone venture deep into the void of chaos to explore it.

This left them with no choice but to suggest that this universe was the only true reality. But Li Pin knew that his future self would never be bound by such limits. With that thought, he murmured, "Escaping the universe—that is a goal I must achieve in the future."

His Dao was one of evolution and surpassing limits, to break free from the universe's constraints, and ultimately surpass it, to let the True Self stand above the cosmos.

The idea of surpassing limits sparked something in him. His thoughts became clearer than ever.

The Dao of True Self, paired with the Quantum Sword Intent, would cut through all barriers and break past the universe itself. Destiny and liberation... My only challenge now is.... liberation isn't the final limit. What does it mean for a living being to truly understand matter and energy, as well as fully grasp time and space?

Immortality? No. Immortality merely describes a lifeform that never ages, never decays, and never withers.

But... when a being truly masters matter, energy, time, and space, integrating them into one. And when this happens after transcending the universe, and realizing the complete True Self, then the form of that existence... is Eternity.

To exist throughout all ages, with no form of matter or energy, no dimension of time or space, able to erase it.

Because at that point, I would be matter, energy, time, and space.

I would be the one, and all, eternal and indestructible. My existence will never perish.

The newly refined Quantum Sword Intent... already encompassed matter and energy. And now, it's steadily incorporating the concepts of space and time.

What's more, it is an innate divine ability derived from the Phantom Space Technique. At its core lies the Great Dao Radiance, which is the manifestation of the True Self as an inner spirit concept. It clearly held the potential to reach that ultimate state.

If this sword art could truly reach its ultimate form... it would become Eternity—the Eternal Swordlight.

Li Pin softly uttered the words. "Heavenly Fate. Eternity."

They were just two simple names. Yet in that moment, he felt a profound clarity surge from deep within his inner spirit.

It felt like a weight that had been buried for countless years had finally lifted—an ethereal lightness flooding through him.

Though he stood still, he sensed a single beam of light break through the swirling darkness above, falling directly on him.

Wherever his eyes landed, radiance followed. His entire inner spirit world lit up. In that instant, the world felt clearer, more vivid than ever before.

Li Pin repeated the words. "Destiny. Eternity."

In that state of clarity and awareness, he could sense an emotion within him—a stirring even he could not quite explain.

That lucidity and deep emotion echoed through the depths of his inner spirit, causing the light that had recently replaced the True Spirit and been renamed Heavenly Fate, to shimmer brilliantly.

As it shimmered, the Great Dao Radiance surged again, fully refining both his cultivation and his inner spirit.

He felt as though all chains had fallen away. The false layers were scrubbed clean, revealing something completely renewed.

It was... the feeling of truly being alive. If he had to describe this state with his current understanding... it would be "Only today do I truly know who I am."

Li Pin immersed himself in that feeling. It was strange, like an awakening, but also an epiphany.

Even he hadn't expected that such a transformation would occur after he fully organized and refined his secret arts, cultivation methods, and sword techniques.

Li Pin wondered, Could this... be the Perfect Realm described in the concept of a Divine Emperor?

Or perhaps... it was a realm beyond perfection, a Great Perfection that only those who created their own cultivation methods could ever reach.

Unfortunately, he had never met a true Divine Emperor. The Highlords and Supremes were a completely different concept altogether. He might not even have the chance to ask anyone.

He thought of the Divine Emperor guarding Abyssal Rift No.3.

Maybe I could ask Divine Emperor You Ying?

But right after that, he calmed his mind again. Now was not the time for such thoughts.

He turned his gaze back to the Cosmic Genesis Chart. "There's still one more Divine Race's Tyrant here to deal with."
