Chapter 33: The Trial of the Lord of the Heavens!
Isaac stood in the silent void, the figures of the three guardians having vanished into the endless darkness as they dissolved into light. The space gradually stabilized with their disappearance, the surrounding rules flowing beneath Isaac's Eye of Destiny, emitting faint sounds. Through this life-or-death struggle, his will and power had once again been tempered to their peak, like a divine weapon refined in a furnace, its sharpness fully revealed.
Just as he was adjusting his state, the system's voice rang in his mind again, carrying a hint of solemnity and irresistible authority.
[Congratulations on completing the Trial of Destiny's End! You have obtained the ultimate qualification as a trial participant across the heavens. The Summit of Destiny is now open...]
Isaac's heart skipped a beat, and the space before him shifted rapidly the instant he finished speaking. The surrounding darkness was gradually replaced by dazzling starlight, and he found himself standing above a vast and boundless galaxy, with countless stars shining overhead, as if countless worlds were paying homage to him. This made him involuntarily hold his breath, feeling a solemn and sacred aura.
However, before Isaac could fully experience this land of stars, a magnificent gate appeared. Inscribed on the gate were the four large characters "Peak of Destiny," each character radiating a different light, seemingly containing boundless mysteries.
The system's voice sounded again: [The gates to the Pinnacle of Destiny have opened. Prepare yourself. This is the true core of all heavens. You will face the final judgment from the Lord of Destiny.]
Isaac frowned slightly. This time, his opponent was the so-called "Lord of Fate." He vaguely sensed that this being was not only the guardian of all the heavens but also the embodiment of the rules, a supreme being who truly controlled the course of destiny. In other words, he was facing the "Heavenly Dao" of all the heavens and myriad realms!
“Now that I’ve come this far, there’s no turning back.” Isaac gripped the Blade of Destiny, his eyes blazing. He strode towards the gates of destiny’s pinnacle, an unparalleled resolve rising within him.
As he stepped onto the pinnacle of destiny, the scene before him instantly transformed into a vast, boundless void. The space had no boundaries, only endless starlight flowing gently, each star seemingly telling a different story. Isaac stood in this void, his own existence appearing utterly insignificant in this vast universe.
Just then, a majestic and distant voice resounded in the void, as if it had traversed countless times and carried the power of absolute authority.
"Isaac, you have reached the pinnacle of destiny, gaining the right to challenge the Lord of Fate. Do you know how treacherous this path is, and what price you must pay?"
Isaac looked up towards the source of the sound and saw a figure slowly emerging from the distant void. The figure was shrouded in starlight, its face hidden in a mysterious glow, making its features impossible to discern. Judging from the aura emanating from it, this person seemed to embody all things in heaven and earth, capable of altering the course of galaxies with a mere gesture, truly controlling the destiny of the heavens!
"The Lord of Destiny?" Isaac said coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised fighting spirit. He was certain that this duel was the final step on his path to the pinnacle, and he could not afford to back down.
The man nodded slightly, his voice tinged with coldness: "I am the will of the heavens, and the judge of the heavens. Your power may be great, but is it enough to contend with fate? At this moment, you will face the final judgment of the heavens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, causing the entire space to ripple. Deadly starlight surged towards Isaac like a tidal wave, and the dazzling galactic barrier completely surrounded him.
Isaac gritted his teeth, and the power of destiny within him erupted instantly. The Blade of Destiny burst forth with golden light, slashing directly at the star barrier. The golden blade light collided with the power of the star barrier in mid-air, creating dazzling sparks, but Isaac's attack was firmly blocked by the power of the star barrier and failed to break through.
"No matter how you struggle, the power of fate is beyond your control." The voice of the Lord of Fate carried a cold and oppressive aura, as if it were full of disdain for Isaac's resistance.
Isaac snorted coldly, a hint of defiance flashing in his eyes: "My destiny is in my own hands, and no one else shall decide it!"
He roared, and the Eye of Destiny activated once more, swiftly capturing the patterns and rules within the Star River Barrier. He swung the Blade of Destiny, precisely piercing the gaps in those rules. With a deafening roar, tiny cracks appeared on the Star River Barrier!
"To actually find a loophole in the barrier of fate? Interesting." The Lord of Fate's voice carried a hint of surprise, but he immediately raised his hand and waved it, and the surrounding galactic power quickly gathered into a huge lightsaber, which rushed towards Isaac with boundless power.
Isaac's expression changed slightly as he rapidly mobilized the power of destiny. The Blade of Destiny shone even brighter in his hand, clashing fiercely with the enormous lightsaber in mid-air. The lightsaber's power was immense, seemingly enough to completely suppress him, but Isaac gritted his teeth and persevered. The Blade of Destiny unleashed a powerful force, gradually pushing the lightsaber back.
"Heavenly Reversal Slash!" Isaac roared, and with a sudden swing of the Blade of Destiny, a massive golden arc of light shattered the lightsaber completely. Fragments of the lightsaber scattered in the air, transforming into countless starlight.
The Lord of Fate coldly stared at Isaac, a barely perceptible hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes. He raised a finger, and powerful starlight rapidly coalesced into a phantom. That phantom, carrying boundless pressure, looked down upon Isaac as if regarding him as an ant.
"Though you are the chosen one, you are ultimately just a mortal. The power of fate is difficult to resist, and if you wish to control your destiny, you will inevitably pay the price!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom suddenly swooped down with earth-shattering power, as if the will of all the heavens had been concentrated in this one strike. Isaac could feel the absolute pressure, and even the power of destiny within his body was suppressed by this force.
"The power of the Lord of Fate is truly terrifying!" Isaac's heart sank. This was a formidable opponent he had never encountered before. But he felt no urge to retreat; instead, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.
"System, unlock the final form of the Eye of Destiny!" Isaac roared, the light in his eyes suddenly becoming blinding, as if tearing the entire world apart in that instant.
The system notification quickly responded: [Warning: Unlocking the final form of the Eye of Destiny will result in irreversible backlash. Confirm?]
“Confirmed!” Isaac answered without hesitation.
In an instant, his eyes burst forth with dazzling golden light, the power of the Eye of Destiny was fully unleashed, and his vision revealed the rules of the heavens and the essence of fate. He could clearly see the veins and weak points within the phantom of the Lord of Destiny—those were the key points for attack!
"Lord of Destiny, even if you are the mandate of the heavens, you cannot control my destiny!" Isaac roared, the Blade of Destiny in his hand turning into a dazzling light. He swung the blade sharply, aiming directly at the core weakness of the Lord's phantom!
A massive golden light, carrying absolute power, pierced precisely into the core of the phantom. The phantom of the Lord of Fate let out a low growl, its form gradually collapsing within the light, transforming into countless starlight.
But before Isaac could rest, the surrounding starlight suddenly converged, and the figure of the Lord of Fate reformed, becoming even more solid.
"Though you shattered my illusion, fate remains unshakable." The Lord of Fate's voice carried a chilling sarcasm, and the surrounding starlight converged once more, the enormous illusion completely enveloping Isaac.
Isaac's strength was waning, but his will remained firm. He knew he had no way out; only by unleashing all his power could he have a chance of victory.
"Blade of Destiny - Judgment of Fate!" Isaac roared, and the Blade of Destiny unleashed absolute power. His body was enveloped in golden light, as if he had become the embodiment of destiny.
The golden light collided violently with the phantom of the Lord of Destiny in the air, the surrounding starlight exploded in an instant, and the entire void was completely torn apart, creating a huge crack that seemed to shake even the rules of the heavens!
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, the phantom of the Lord of Destiny collapsed in golden light and vanished into nothingness.
