No one knows how long it has been, Lin Qianxuan once again returned to his half-dragon transformation form.
Xiaoke's sword blade was sheathed by him, as this battle was no longer one it could withstand, even with the enhancement of the Dao Fruit.
This was because Peiya's Dao Fruit development was stronger and more complete.
The dragon's tail swept out, Lin Qianxuan hugged it in his arms, trying to throw it.
But Peiya's strength was astonishing; with just two casual swings, she threw Lin Qianxuan aside and into the magma.
Boom~!
Countless magma burst forth, and the earth trembled. Lin Qianxuan's figure pierced hundreds of meters underground, then instantly shot out again.
Greeting him were endless dragon breaths.
This time, the Frost Stone could no longer completely resist.
Lin Qianxuan was not afraid, surrounded by burning red True Flame.
The dragon breath was absorbed and refined by the True Flame.
The ability derived from the Dao Fruit [Dragon Bloodline] also represented a concept.
The power of the Dragon's True Flame is to burn and refine everything until purified and absorbed.
In the past, Lin Qianxuan, limited by his understanding, always regarded it as a Great Dao Rule.
In reality, what kind of Great Dao Rule is this overpowering?
When he was in the Dao Realm, he easily refined the Immortal Artifact Dragon Pearl.
Now that he's halfway into the Dao Realm, his understanding of using Dao Fruit has far surpassed before, and although it's still the same talents, the effects are incomparable.
The red light beneath Lin Qianxuan's feet shimmered, like a blazing sun bursting forth.
Boom~!
Boom~!
The Immortal Divine Fist scattered the dragon breath, pushing back the giant dragon, crashing into the distant castle, revealing the mountain of treasures.
Lin Qianxuan pursued, punching continuously without holding back.
Don't assume he's relying on experience to have the upper hand now, if he holds back, he's bound to lose.
The light on Peiya's body continued to flicker, her power increase was even more exaggerated than Lin Qianxuan's.
Lin Qianxuan's enhancement and evolution speed was already starting to fall behind in comparison to Peiya's power increase.
Finally, at one point, Lin Qianxuan saw himself getting hit.
Almost the moment he saw this mark of fate, Peiya's attack struck him.
The Dragon Claw struck out, Lin Qianxuan blocked with his arms, and the powerful force between them instantly vaporized a vacuum environment; everything within several kilometers was shattered.
....
Ashley and others, having fled the battlefield, watched distantly and did not hide their shock upon witnessing this scene.
"Is the Evil Dragon really so strong?" Ashley muttered in disbelief.
Victoria and the others also felt a bit puzzled.
But evidently, no one was there to explain to them.
....
Rumbling~!
Lin Qianxuan was struck, smashing through the earth, causing magma underground to burst out, devastating the land for tens of miles.
He couldn't keep up with Peiya's pace anymore.
This was not only Peiya's trial but also his.
Setting his mind, Lin Qianxuan started trying to take that step.
Bam~!
The dragon's tail swept down, and a majestic force once again sent Lin Qianxuan flying, bouncing him like a ball on the ground, carving a long trail.
"When will it end?"
Lin Qianxuan was rarely quite angry.
With a thought, his form transformed, massive clouds of mist rising.
"Roar~!"
In the very next moment, from amidst the mist, a thousand-meter-long Red-Scaled True Dragon soared out.
Peiya opened her mouth, and the dragon breath clashed with the Dragon's True Flame Lin Qianxuan spewed, sparks of Dao Fruit flickering incessantly.
The intensity of dragon breath and True Flame was being elevated indefinitely.
Lin Qianxuan was already suppressed.
But he wasn't anxious.
In the mysterious realm, a fishing rod lifted from the Mirror Sea of time and space, instantly elevating the True Flame's intensity tenfold.
Boom~!
Volcanoes erupted, black clouds in the sky interspersed with thunder, triggering ground fire.
Mysteriously, Lin Qianxuan sensed a higher intensity force from this world.
The gaze of the gods.
The story's background contains gods.
The Angel's Cross also comes from the Divine Hall.
Their strength is more like rules.
Everything in this world is manipulated by them.
If it continues like this, the world's narrative will be corrected by them, equivalent to battling this entire world.
Lin Qianxuan understood he couldn't keep fighting like this.
He suddenly charged out, enduring the dragon breath's burn, forcing the dragon body to entwine Peiya.
True Flame was indeed his primary attack skill, but the True Dragon's entwining attack was another kill move.
With a strong physique and muscles, once he entangled the opponent, he would form a terrifying bind, allowing him to refine the opponent with True Flame easily.
But now Lin Qianxuan was only planning to imprison Peiya.
Crack crack crack~!
Lin Qianxuan's bones and muscles were being broken, while Peiya's strength continued to increase, somewhat abnormal.
The world was correcting the storyline.
The hero must die at the hands of the evil dragon, then be resurrected with the cross, after which the hero will kill the evil dragon and live happily ever after with the princess.
This storyline, of course, posed no problem for Lin Qianxuan.
But Peiya could not die.
Lin Qianxuan really couldn't understand why, even with added luck, Peiya would still end up playing the role of an evil dragon.
The essence of luck leans toward one's own desires.
After all, what you think is good might not seem so to others.
Could it be that she always wanted to kill me once?
No, that's not it!
As Lin Qianxuan watched the struggling Peiya, he suddenly understood something.
She was still caught between gains and losses.
Even though they had experienced some events together, he had been too overbearing, even ignoring some of her small thoughts.
She always felt like she was just a tool, bound to be discarded.
She feared growth even as she grew.
So she became the evil dragon.
The fear in her heart made her want to assert herself strongly to gain affirmation.
"Peiya!" Lin Qianxuan said loudly, "I will never leave—forever!"
The pink giant dragon's body paused slightly, the struggling reduced, and the big tail behind her kept turning, just as before!
However, at this moment, the force of correction descended, and the turning tail suddenly stabbed forward, piercing Lin Qianxuan's heart. As light flickered, his life force was rapidly draining away.
"Teacher...."
Peiya exclaimed in shock, her reason returning.
Lin Qianxuan reverted from the True Dragon form to his original appearance, a gaping hole in the heart from which blood spurted. The world's rule of correction devoured his life force, not allowing him to live. Even constantly adding entries to himself in the sea of consciousness and fishing couldn't recover; it was entirely unsustainable.
"Peiya, I'm very sorry." Lin Qianxuan said, "I've always ignored your feelings, treating this as just a task, thinking I was skilled, familiar with the human heart, and could easily control everything..."
Lin Qianxuan indeed had carried that inexplicable arrogance before.
Because he had long lost weakness and was rich in experience, he no longer had the cautious mindset of maintaining relationships.
He even harbored a somewhat playful attitude towards emotions.
Little did he know that being someone in close contact, Peiya could clearly sense these emotions.
Peiya's Dragon Claw held Lin Qianxuan in her palm, constantly using the Dao Fruit in the hope of healing him, but it was still unsustainable, and Lin Qianxuan lay back powerless.
"Teacher.... I'm sorry, it's all my fault....."
Peiya felt deep remorse, her body trembling slightly.
"Don't say sorry, it was my carelessness, but I will remember this lesson... at least next time, I will take this encounter arranged by destiny more seriously!" Lin Qianxuan, slightly weak, said seriously.
Lin Qianxuan was already prepared for a second playthrough.
Compared to the previous one-life clearance, this time it might take several attempts.
[Peiya String of Destiny connection 60%.]
At this moment, the Misty Qi unexpectedly transformed into a new Sound Talisman.
Before Lin Qianxuan could think too much, he had already entered Peiya's memories.
...
Chaos timeless.
Since birth, not knowing how long had passed, Peiya had traveled through many worlds, witnessing the birth and death of many lives and civilizations.
On this day, she encountered a pen in a world.
This pen could write anything, turning fiction into reality, giving concepts the power of things.
Its power even surpassed Peiya's innate divine strength.
Relying on this pen, she changed the destinies of many worlds and created countless legends.
And then, she stepped into the realm of Dao attainment.
Yes, this was not complicated.
For someone as pure-minded and innately divine as her, it was a very simple matter.
Because she was nearly invincible at birth, she did not have any concept of power levels. To her, she was already boundless and infinite relative to the worlds and beings in the chaos.
Even the Dao Fruit for her was merely the icing on the cake, allowing her more joy in playing.
With no cognitive obstacles, she effortlessly, permanently opened the Gate of Immeasurable.
She had thus entered the realm of Infinite, standing in front of that gate, able to constantly acquire the endless power behind it, no longer needing the Dao Fruit as a key to open the gate.
Thereafter, she only needed to expand this gate until it could be large enough for her to cross, to formally reach the peak of the Dao Realm and become the true "Dao."
....
[Prompt: You have obtained a Sound Talisman [Dao Attainment].]
[Dao Attainment: You have comprehended the process of Dao attainment. (You can now use the entries of peculiar objects without paying the price.)]
"So, I was overthinking it."
Lin Qianxuan regained his senses, and although still in a weakened state, everything was different.
Having witnessed the experience of stepping into the path of Dao attainment once, he no longer felt any confusion.
"Gate of Immeasurable, open!"
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Qianxuan pushed open that gate.
The keys he used were [Dragon Bloodline], [Endless Divine Sea], [Eyes of the Muddled Heaven], [Evolutionary Body], [Spiritual Enlightenment], and also [Never Empty Hook Fishing Rod]...
They were all Dao Fruits.
Created by the "String of Destiny" as Dao Fruit keys.
The "String of Destiny" itself was even more enigmatic than Lin Qianxuan had imagined.
Indeed, it was also a Dao Fruit, but it was more like the complete "Dao" itself, the authority it contained imagining was immense.
In an instant, Lin Qianxuan pushed open six Gates of Immeasurable.
The power of the six Gates of Immeasurable poured in entirely.
At this moment, this cycle of time and space could no longer restrain him.
The reason is that he had also stepped into the realm of Dao attainment!
