Just the ransom from four of the leading cultivators exceeded the amount Hong Ling had accumulated over this period of time. The youth and Lian Chengyue had divided the resources that Shangguan Qinghong and the others had brought, and the income they had obtained was not less than five hundred thousand taels of gold.

After the two robbed, they quickly left, causing the four injured people to stare blankly. They did not take away the cultivation techniques and martial skills of the four great sects, nor did they take away the weapons on their bodies. It was obvious that they did not want to completely offend the four great sects.

Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue quickly found a palace and rushed in. This was an extremely secretive hall, and it was the place where Lian Chengyue had previously acquired the xuan iron sword.

"Hong Ling, do you have something to ask me!?" Lian Chengyue looked at the youth who wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked softly.

What he actually wanted to ask was how Lian Chengyue was able to find the tenth stage of the World Barrier so easily. Even if she had fused with the Phoenix's bloodline, her talent would at most be on par with his, and it would be impossible to find the tenth stage of the World Barrier.

"Ah Yue, how did you find the tenth stage of the World Barrier?"

Lian Chengyue laughed upon hearing this. She had thought that Hong Ling wanted to ask something else, but didn't expect that he was only asking her about the questions related to talent.

"It's very simple. I found a book of scriptures. It was a secret technique passed down from the ancient era of the Rage Kings. It's called 'The Nine Sutra of Fate'!" She casually took out a golden scripture from her spatial ring and gave it to Hong Ling.

Hong Ling was a little stunned, he never thought that Lian Chengyue would actually have such a good fortuitous encounter.

Using his own soul as the foundation, he set up the Nine Suicide Formation around his body, and was able to find the tenth layer of the Heavenly Fate Barrier. However, if he wanted to use the Nine Suicide Formation, he had to first break through the nine layers of World Barrier, otherwise his soul would not be able to withstand the damage brought by the formation.

"In the previous days, there was no such thing as fortune or misfortune. Only when one called himself, would good and evil be rewarded. Like a shadow following the shadow, it means that the heavens and earth have a God. The punishment will be based on the severity of the crime …" Hong Ling chanted the chant for the Nine Sutra of Fate as a dark golden stream of light gradually floated into his eyes.

Buzz. From his Divine Court, Primordial Spirit Clone s instantly condensed and broke out of his body, quietly floating outside his body.

Hong Ling kept chanting scriptures from his mouth as the Primordial Spirit Clone continued to absorb the divine intent within his Divine Court. Gradually, it turned into the size of a normal human being and his originally motionless body slowly sat down on the ground with his legs crossed.

Under his will and the Authentic Qi's support, the Primordial Spirit Clone actually slowly dissolved and once again formed nine of the smaller Primordial Spirit Clone. The eight of them divided into eight directions and instantly formed a gigantic dark golden formation.

This formation shone with a flowing dark golden pattern that spread out from the feet of the eight Primordial Spirit Clone s, slowly enveloping the youth's body.

The figure of the ninth Primordial Spirit Clone flashed and appeared above Hong Ling's head, forming a resonance with the other eight Primordial Spirit Clone s. Streams of lightning slowly appeared, floated around Hong Ling's body, and gradually formed into a lightning web.

Lian Chengyue stood in place and looked at Hong Ling with an expression of disbelief.

"This guy, this is his first try, and he's able to split his soul into nine clones?" She really couldn't understand how Hong Ling, who had only come into contact with the《 Nine Desire Method》 for the first time, could have such a strong sense of comprehension and courage.

The soul had split into nine parts, and the pain within was not something an ordinary person could endure. However, what she did not know, was that Hong Ling's so-called soul, was only his Primordial Spirit Clone.

This palace was already activated by the two of them, so no one could break in.

Lian Chengyue was naturally unconvinced when she saw that Hong Ling was actually able to use the Nine Desire Method. She had taken three days to learn this secret method, and because she was only at the fourth stage of the Martial Arts at that time, it was impossible to find the tenth stage of the Heavenly Fate Barrier.

Earlier, when she had fused with the Phoenix's blood, she had inadvertently triggered the tenth stage of World Barrier, but she was fundamentally unable to break through. Now, she wanted to see whether or not this youth who had been creating miracles was able.

"Hmph, since you are able to use the Nine Supremes Suicide Spell, I cannot admit defeat like this!" The young girl sat down cross-legged. In an instant, a great Nine Supremes Destiny Grasp array slowly appeared around her body, burning with white-gold flames.

Hong Ling's consciousness seemed to have sensed the vague sound of someone calling him from the highest reaches of the heavens. His consciousness gradually floated upwards, pierced through the firmament of this world, and arrived at the vast starry sky.

In his mind, there was a star in the distant space and time that was currently flashing with light, causing him to feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy with it.

"Heaven's Mandate, is actually the born fated star that follows after the birth of a person. Every time a person dies, a meteor will descend from the starry sky and seize the heavens' fate, which is to find the original fated star Chen and draw it into one's own body to refine. From then on, my life is mine, not the Heavens!"

The youth thought back to the information in Jiusi's Fate Method. The corners of his mouth curled up as he faintly smiled. His consciousness continuously moved forward through the nine heavens.

A human's fated star was not located in the same starry sky. There were nine levels in the sky and above the nine levels in the sky, there was also another world. A majority of the fated star s were in these nine days, but the strong ones, their fated star s, were far away from the nine days, and had entered the wider Celestial Realm s.

There was a sky beyond the heavens. What Hong Ling needed to do was to throw his consciousness into the fated star outside the nine heavens, the ninth heaven, the tenth heaven … Up to the thirty-third level, the youth's consciousness could sense a clear fated star, shining with a dark gold starlight.

It was a star filled with an overflowing pressure. Inside, a five-clawed golden dragon was circling around a young man's shadow, roaring nonstop. Behind the shadow was a young man with his arms spread wide, guarding the vampire.

With a thought from Hong Ling, a loud sound was heard, and he rushed into the center of the fated star.

Outside of the Ancient Desolation Tomb, the elders of the four major sects suddenly raised their heads and stared fixedly at the sky above them. They saw a dark golden meteor rapidly falling from the sky and ruthlessly landing on the Ancient Desolate Tomb's mystic realm, disappearing without a trace.

"What the hell is that thing? It could even seal my cultivation!" The moment the meteor appeared, the elder was shocked. It was as if his Cultivation base had been sealed, and he couldn't move it in the slightest, nor could he sense the trajectory of the meteor.

"A meteor or something?" The elders of the other three sects were bewildered. Without a doubt, this sudden appearance of this meteor had given them an incomparable shock.

Just as they were communicating using their spiritual sense, another meteor suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a meteor burning with golden-white flames, just like the dark golden meteor from before. It was incomparably majestic, flashing across the sky above the Ancient Tomb of Everlast.

Hong Ling's consciousness followed the dark golden meteor into his own body. Rumble … everything inside his body completely shattered, and his entire body instantly shattered, turning into a lump of flesh and blood.

A star shining with a dark golden halo was slowly fusing into his flesh and blood. The ancestral blood Qi, Authentic Qi, dragon Qi, and divine sense in his body were fusing together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A body that was even more perfect than before slowly took shape, and Hong Ling's Primordial Spirit also merged with the new body bit by bit. This was not a simple fusion like before when he was refining the Divine Substance, but a perfect fusion, without any differences between the Primordial Spirit and the new body.

The originally complex soul pathway slowly fused with his meridians. This was a very long process. At this moment, he was wrapped in starlight and became a giant dark gold cocoon. He was reborn from within the cocoon.

Not far from him, a white-gold cocoon of light was also slowly emitting a new kind of life force. Without a doubt, Lian Chengyue had done the same thing when he communicated with this fated star.

The two cocoons that were equally matched in aura slowly rotated as if they were nurturing a new life. Hong Ling's bones, meridians, and even his flesh and blood were regenerating.

This was a process that lasted for nine days and nine nights. Finally, after the ninth day, with a hong sound, the dark golden cocoon shattered and the youth quietly stood there without a trace of hair on his body. At almost the same time, the platinum colored cocoon wrapped around Lian Chengyue also ruptured, revealing the naked girl inside.

They opened their eyes at the same time and smiled at each other. On Hong Ling's chest, a dark golden Reverse Scale was slowly being formed. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of dragon aura left inside, and on Lian Chengyue's back, a complete phoenix tattoo slowly appeared within the flames.

A clear dragon's roar came from Hong Ling's body. A dark golden lightning flashed across the youth's eyes. Within his dantian, a strand of Authentic Qi was being absorbed by the Reverse Scale.

Wherever the streams of light went, pieces of Dragon Scale came out, transforming Hong Ling's entire person into a thirty meter long Five-clawed Golden Dragon. The monstrous dragon's might filled the entire palace.

Lian Chengyue laughed, a trace of white-gold flame flashed past her eyes, and the phoenix tattoo on her back immediately ignited, the flame enveloping her entire body, and after the flame dissipated, a fiery red phoenix quietly floated in the air, its size was no less than the dark gold Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

Dragons and phoenixes instantly intertwined with each other and coiled around the dome of the palace. Dark golden thunder and white golden flames interweaved, enveloping them within.

As the firelight dispersed, Hong Ling transformed back into his human form from his Five-clawed Golden Dragon form. The youth's entire body was covered with dark golden scales.

He looked at Lian Chengyue who had a pair of wings on his back, and smiled faintly. The girl shyly lowered her head, and the wings on her back were put away right after. The two of them landed on the ground, took out their clothes from their spatial rings and put them on.

"Hong Ling, after merging with the fated star, do you have the confidence to break through the tenth stage of the World Barrier?! Lian Chengyue walked over, and helped straighten the young man's collar, and asked with red ears.

Hong Ling patted her head lightly, his eyes filled with love.

"You'll know when you see it!" With a thought, he executed the Nine Supremes Sutra once again, creating an even larger formation beneath his feet. The eight Primordial Spirit Clone stood in eight directions, and his main Primordial Spirit now brazenly appeared, standing on top of his head.

He pressed his hand to the ground, and his cultivation continuously flooded into the large array. Currently, the Authentic Qi, the dragon aura and the divine sense produced by the Primordial Spirit had all fused into one, and the large array was activated by his energy. It slowly rotated like a gigantic wheel.

Buzz. Outside of the nine layer World Barrier, countless dark golden lightning bolts flickered and jumped before slowly condensing into a new barrier. Within that barrier, two figures lightly smiled at the young man.
