Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 752: Chapter 333: The Heavenly Mandate Chains

As Xu Guang was feeling the growth of the demonic thought coral within him.

In the distance.

The battle between the Dragon Monarch and Ling Xiao reached a boiling point.

The soul-shadow Dragon Monarch at the Half-Saint Level, though lacking full intelligence and driven only by the instinct to guard the mysterious coffin, carried the overwhelming might of its former Saint Realm and the millennia of demonic energy in the Purple Moon Cavern with every strike.

The dark golden dragon robe billowed, and with each movement of its fists, the purple-black magic flames transformed into countless dragon shapes, roaring and tearing through the air, twisting and devouring even the brilliance of the falling purple moonlight.

Ling Xiao stood beneath the phantasm of a chaotic starry sky, with the clear light of the Celestial Destiny Wheel blazing behind her, spinning incessantly.

Her face remained serene, but deep within her eyes, the speed of the streaming stars quickened, as if exhaustively seeking a single thread of vitality from the fathomless secrets of the heavens.

The ways of the Celestial Destiny Court were too miraculous.

"Destiny is ever-changing, only fortune endures." Her delicate mouth opened slightly, and each word she uttered seemed to weigh a thousand tons, resonating with the clear light of the Destiny Wheel.

The Dragon Monarch’s attacks grew even more frenzied.

It seemed to sense that the Destiny Wheel restrained the magic flames surrounding it and roared furiously, throwing its arms wide apart!

"Aargh——!!!"

The high-pitched dragon roar shook the entire depression, and the indistinct golden dragon avatar behind it suddenly solidified, its eyes wide with fury, claws extended, no longer attacking Ling Xiao directly but instead ramming ferociously towards the phantasm of the starry sky above her head and the Destiny Wheel!

This was an attempt to shake Ling Xiao’s fundamental Dao foundation with absolute power!

Where the golden dragon avatar passed, space shattered like fragile glass, revealing the bizarre and chaotic time-space rift beyond.

The demonic energy of the Purple Moon Cavern surged madly into these rifts, only to be torn and churned by an even deeper unknown chaotic force, emitting a soul-piercing shriek.

This strike was infinitely close to the true power of the Saint Realm!

Starfire flashed suddenly in Ling Xiao’s eyes, and she no longer held back, forming an unprecedentedly complex sign in front of her chest, her ten fingers dancing like butterflies, their shadows overlapping heavily.

"Celestial Destiny Decree, time and space as witness, heavenly fate adjudicates!"

The slowly rotating Destiny Wheel before her abruptly halted.

At the center of the wheel, that initial speck of light, seemingly containing the mysteries of the cosmos itself, suddenly expanded!

Not expanding outward, but collapsing inward, forming a tiny point that swallowed all light.

On the surface of the Destiny Wheel, the illustrations of sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, deities safeguarding, all "came to life," transforming into numerous chains flowing with golden destiny runes, shooting out!

These chains were not substantial but more like the legendary extensions of destiny.

Ignoring the constraints of space, they wound around the charging golden dragon avatar, penetrating it and deeply embedding within the soul-shadow of the Dragon Monarch behind it!

The massive body of the Dragon Monarch suddenly froze, its violent momentum coming to an abrupt halt.

Its incomplete wisdom couldn’t fully comprehend its current predicament; the rampant True Dragon power within aroused the surrounding demonic thoughts, causing ripples in the space.

It struggled madly, the purple-black magic flames burning in the void, trying to incinerate the destiny chains.

The chains did not bind its flesh or divine soul but something even more profound—a celestial fate; the dragon’s magic flames swept over them as if passing through phantoms, unable to harm them at all.

Locked by destiny.

The chains continually contracted, dragging the enormous body of the Dragon Monarch towards that point of darkness, creating terrifying vortices wherever they passed.

At the depths of the vortices, lights and colors flowed and merged in ways defying logic.

Ling Xiao’s face turned slightly pale; sustaining this celestial decree drained her greatly.

She clenched her teeth, her delicate hand pressing abruptly downward!

"Imperial Decree, returning flow!"

Clatter, clatter!

The countless destiny chains suddenly tightened, unleashing an irresistible drag!

The Dragon Monarch roared, its dragon roar mixed with unwillingness and ferocity, the magic flames around it condensed to the extreme.

The destiny chains had long entangled its fate.

With a long dragon roar seemingly from ancient times, filled with endless resentment, the massive dark golden figure of the Dragon Monarch, along with the golden dragon avatar behind it, was completely swallowed by that point of darkness, dragged by countless destiny chains.

Space twisted violently, light and shadow in disarray.

Finally, with a faint "pop," like a bubble bursting, the Dragon Monarch’s figure completely plunged into the depths of the vortex.

The vortex spun rapidly a few more times, then dissipated along with the destiny chains into nothingness.

In their place, left only the dark purple ground riddled with web-like cracks from the Dragon Monarch’s struggle, and the chaotic temporal ripples yet to fully subside in the air.

The depression returned to silence, only the purple rain still pitter-pattered.

Ling Xiao’s figure swayed slightly, the silken starlight robe on her wavering, the phantasm of the Destiny Wheel dimmed significantly, gradually merging into her body.

She quickly took out a fragrant elixir and consumed it, regulating her breath for a few moments before her pale face slightly recovered.

Xu Guang looked at Ling Xiao’s methods in shock, thinking, Is this the power of the Emperor’s inheritance?

It’s truly unbelievable, locking onto the unseen destiny, practically a dimensional strike.

With his nascent form of the Holy Domain, he could only slightly fend off and protect his fate.

With the power of the Five Realms, to banish a soul-shadow of a Half-Saint Dragon Monarch, such methods were truly astonishing.

"Go!"

Ling Xiao said directly, refining the elixir.

She could not completely obliterate the Dragon Monarch, only banish its fate, but with its strength, once the banishment ceased, it could quickly return.

Xu Guang nodded and was about to speak.

When a sudden change arose within him!

The demonic thought coral, which had been frantically absorbing the surrounding demonic thoughts, broke through a certain critical point as the Dragon Monarch was banished, and the portion of pure demonic thoughts dispersed and the core area’s demonic energy of the Purple Moon Cavern lost its suppression, violently fluctuating at that moment!
