Chapter 777: Cracks of Fate (Three-in-One Subscription)_4
Especially the fundamental Martial Intent of Lin Rui—if I'm not mistaken, it should be 'unity'!
It is the unity of "one births all things, all things return to one".
This Martial Intent is very interesting. The Dream Heaven Venerable, hidden in the human world, has studied various human philosophical theories.
In Taoism, "one" is the starting point of "Dao" as it evolves into all things. It's the "nothingness" born of Dao, the "primordial breath", sharing the same origin as Dao. All things are born from it and ultimately return to it.
The heavens attain unity to be clear, the earth attains unity to be tranquil, thus heaven and earth are divided, transforming into all things.
In Buddhism, "one" returns to "self-nature" or "Buddha-nature", believing in "the myriad laws return to one", meaning that all phenomena return to the essence of the true self.
In Confucianism, it is the unification of heaven and earth's energies as one, a unity after the reconciliation of yin and yang.
In Christianity, the "144,000 sealed" in the Book of Revelation symbolizes the recognition of the true laws of the universe, subtly implying "one" as the ultimate truth.
From a scientific perspective, it can be likened to the unifying laws of basic particles, with all matter following the same rules, forming the universe as a whole.
Lin Rui's 'unity' is even more domineering, with all things, all laws, and all changes obeying his will, unified as 'one', which, under his will, will also divide into all things, all laws, and all changes.
The key is Lin Rui's Martial Intent conceptualization has reached 72%!
This is the true reason for the defeat of the Divine Abyss Wanderer. Who could have thought that Lin Rui, an Armored Martial Cultivator with only a few years of cultivation, could elevate the conceptualization of Martial Intent to 74%.
The gaze of the Dream Heaven Venerable changed, guessing there must be some secret on Lin Rui's body that allowed him to grow at such a rapid pace.
It's like bamboo shoots after a rain, rising into a forest when you least expect it.
"I see!" Lin Rui's mind stirred slightly, but he returned a faint smile: "That's it then, since Your Highness has initiated the causality of 'one' in this river of fate, it is only right for Lin to retaliate in kind today."
The blazing flames and thunder around him shattered the surrounding illusions one by one. His Heavenly Curtain Spirit was surrounded by golden thunderlight, exuding the aura of a War God descending, with traces of Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire converging to form enormous Thunder Fire swords that slashed towards the Dream Heaven Venerable.
However, this War God held milk in one hand and an egg in the other, looking somewhat comical.
The seven Jingyi Altars controlled by Lin Rui trembled and roared at this moment, with the will of billions of believers solidifying into chains of red gold, piercing through layers of spatial fissures to entangle the runic robe of the Dream Heaven Venerable.
It also infused the newly acquired Power of Silence from Lin Rui.
Although he grasped many concepts, it was only his fundamental Martial Intent of 'unity', along with Purity, Holy Thunder, Tribulation Fire, and the Power of Silence at 95% strength, that could threaten this Dream Heaven Venerable.
But the dark patterns on the Dream Heaven Venerable's robe transformed into black holes swallowing faith, leaving only pale embers of the believers' prayers.
"Why adorn the battlefield with the cries of these ants?" The Dream Heaven Venerable lightly chuckled, tapping the void with a finger, and the entire sky collapsed into a kaleidoscopic prism labyrinth.
He gently raised his hand, and the stars within the Heavenly Curtain turned into countless dreamlike illusions, attempting to draw Lin Rui into an endless dreamscape.
"Also, do you think what you see now is real?" The voice of the Dream Heaven Venerable was gentle and ethereal, as if coming from a distant time and space.
Lin Rui felt his consciousness begin to blur, as if it was about to be swallowed by these illusions.
Countless images appeared before his eyes, including his past memories, his deepest fears of the future, and his most secret desires, these illusions surged like a tide, almost overwhelming his mind completely.
"Why should I care if this is reality or fantasy?" Lin Rui's Heavenly Curtain Spirit looked calm, but his voice was deep and powerful, word by word: "To you, today's battle may be nothing more than a game for your amusement, toying with others' destinies and viewing all beings as puppets and ants, everything like an illusory dream for you to manipulate at will. But to me, this battle concerns life and death, deciding the fate of myself and countless others around me."
At this moment, he took a deep breath. This was Lin Rui's Spiritual Body, which couldn't naturally breathe in the Artificial Sky, yet attracted countless Ether Element Spirits to form his fuel.
The aura seemed about to incorporate all things within the world.
In the next instant, Lin Rui's Heavenly Curtain Spirit fiercely expanded, gradually transforming into a massive golden Great Sun, emitting unparalleled brilliance within the Artificial Sky.
The light contained the forces of Purity, Holy Thunder, Tribulation Fire, and Silent Annihilation, conceptually aggregated by Lin Rui's 'one births all things, all things return to one' fundamental Martial Intent, with each ray of light like the arm of a Divine Spirit, extending freely into every corner of the Heavenly Curtain.
The temperature of the Great Sun rapidly increased, as if intending to turn the entire Heavenly Curtain space into a sea of fire, burning and evaporating everything within the curtain.
Threads of Power of Purity, like pure Holy Light, cleansed everything illusory and distracting around. Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, nourished by the Power of Purity, burned wildly, with golden thunderlight and intense flames intertwining and merging to form a vast and boundless sea of Thunder Fire.
In this sea, every flame leaped with the power of destruction, each thunderlight contained the majesty of purification. Wherever they reached, space twisted and churned like boiling water, emitting a "sizzling" sound, as if space itself was groaning in agony.
