Chapter 439: Chapter 278: Cause and Effect_3

So, he was brimming with confidence.

However, regardless of how the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God stirred things up, that strange astronomical phenomenon simply wouldn’t dissipate, as if the two were not even on the same plane of existence.

“This…”

Witnessing this sight, everyone frowned.

There was no need to say much about Chen Tianjie’s strength, for he was already among the ranks of the Peak of Divine Martial. How could he not disturb this strange phenomenon?

Was it a question of strength?

Or was it…

“Boom!”

In the midst of their astonishment, Yang Yun retracted like a receding tide, and the thunder also dissipated, seemingly vanishing into thin air.

“This…”

The crowds’ brows knitted tightly as they turned their gazes toward the two Pavilion Masters of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism.

But the two offered no explanation; instead, they headed straight for the Qiankun Hall.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard.

“Wuya!?”

Everyone’s expression sharpened as they looked into the hall.

Inside the Qiankun Hall, the stench of blood was overwhelming. A man lay prostrate on the ground, his white hair disheveled, his Taoist robe soaked through with blood and turned bright red.

It was indeed Dao Wuya.

Seeing this scene, the two who had just hurried back to the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism were startled, and they quickly approached to examine Dao Wuya’s condition.

His crown was shattered, his garments disarrayed, beneath the blood-soaked robe lay a body covered in scars, skin cracked and flesh gaping, blood oozing everywhere, and numerous charred traces indicated unspeakable suffering.

The two were alarmed, hastily channeling their Yuan Skill and pouring it into Dao Wuya’s body, as others quickly gathered around.

Time passed in such a flurry.

“Uh!”

Dao Wuya slowly came to, feeling an unbearable pain throughout his body, especially in his skull, as if it were about to split open. He immediately recalled what he had experienced.

Looking around, aside from his two masters, there stood the black and white attired Venerables of Divine Intent.

“Wuya!”

“Are you awake?”

“Brother Dao, how do you feel?”

Seeing Dao Wuya awaken, the two from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism relaxed, yet also inquired with concern. A young man in green robes like jade was examining his Internal Breath — none other than the master of the Evergreen Palace, the World’s No.1 Doctor, Green Emperor Shen Chongrong.

Clearly, it was this skilled practitioner of the medical arts who had roused him.

“Shen brother…”

Facing the worried looks of his masters and the intense gaze of the crowd, Dao Wuya took a deep breath, propped himself up, and sighed, “All day long hunting geese, only to be pecked blind by them in the end. Is this the retribution of fate?”

“This…”

“Wuya?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Shen Chongrong frowned, “Brother Dao, why do you say such a thing?”

Dao Wuya shook his head, his pale face showing a hint of terror, “That person used a Spell, a Curse Killing Skill on me, not just a direct attack with cultivating skills, but also a backlash of heavenly fate’s cause and effect!”

“A backlash of heavenly fate’s cause and effect?”

The crowd frowned upon hearing this.

“Indeed!”

Dao Wuya nodded, looking at everyone, “Just now, was the phenomenon outside the peak difficult to disperse?”

“…”

The crowd fell silent, turning to Chen Tianjie.

Chen Tianjie too frowned and said solemnly, “Indeed, I have exerted my utmost, yet still couldn’t dispel that Thunder Cloud.”

“That is the backlash of fate’s cause and effect,”

Dao Wuya said with a sigh, “That Taoism Curse Killing Skill is tangible and intangible, uncertain in reality and illusion. This time, because I calculated against him, the backlash of fate’s cause and effect struck, turning into a Curse Killing Skill on the level of heavenly fate, stronger and more difficult to resist than ordinary Curse Skills!”

“This…”

The crowd looked at each other, uncertain of what to do.

“This person’s attainments are far above mine, and the backlash of fate is terrifying. Had I not consumed a Supreme Grade Eternal Evergreen Pill, I probably wouldn’t be alive at this moment,”

Dao Wuya’s face was pale as he looked at everyone, “That Curse Skill is not yet complete. I fear I might not be able to hold on much longer. At this point, the only solution is to cut the weeds and eliminate this great threat. I implore everyone to take action.”

His tone was one of concession.

The crowd, frowning even tighter, asked, “But where could this person be…”

“The Way of Fate intertwines with cause and effect. How could he cast that Curse Spell without a price to pay? I have already pinpointed his location and can track him at any moment. Let him escape to the heavens or burrow into the earth, he won’t be able to escape!”

Dao Wuya’s eyes hardened, and he forced himself to stand, once again utilizing the Qiankun Bagua stele. With sixteen Supreme Grade Spirit Crystals, he formed two Eight Trigrams Mirrors, handing them over to the two parties, “The survival of this world, and my own life, I leave in your hands!”
