<h4>Chapter 2017: Finger of Death</h4>


    In Donghua Academy, people were hurrying over, one after another. They stood on the mountaintops and looked at the virtuosos of the Deste God Pce.


    These people were all not friendly. However, they were not too concerned about this. The purpose of inviting all of these factions to Donghua Academy this time was to understand the extent of the cultivation of the various Renhuangs in the Donghua Domain.


    It was just as well that the situation was like this.


    The space around the peak that Destion stood upon was especially tight. A dense shadow shrouded the space around the mountain; ck tendrils swirled around, creating a feeling of destion and destruction. It was a very ufortable aura.


    “Since Ning Hua is not around, is there anyone from the Donghua Academy who wants to fight me?” Destion asked. His voice reverberated in the entire space, and his tone was extremely overbearing.


    After all, this was Donghua Academy—the top academy in the entire Donghua Domain—and yet Destion behaved in such an arrogant manner.


    In the space a distance away, several people were standing at the edge of the many floating inds and observing this area around the ancient peaks of path seeking. The heir to Deste God was one of the four most talked about figures in the entire Donghua Domain. Naturally, many people wanted to see just how strong the Destion of this generation was.


    In the outer world, among the four of them, Ning Hua was ranked first, Jiang Yueli second, Destion third, and Zong Chan of Wangshen Watchtower, who had broken through to the high Renhuang level not long ago, was rankedst.


    Even though Destion was cocky, everyone was still looking forward to seeing just how strong this impossibly powerful figure from the Deste God Pce was.


    The Deste God Pce was located on the Bands Continent in the Donghua Domain. It was very far from the central region of the Donghua Domain. The various factions were all from different continents, and so even though they had all heard of one another before, only a few knew of their exact strength. After all, there were very few asions where they would all gather.


    Now that the various factions were all called over to the Donghua Heavens by the manor chief, why wouldn’t they be eager?


    Jiang Yueli, Qin Qing, and the rest of the practitioners from the Divine Pce of Fluttering Snow had all focused their sights over there, excited about Destion’s fight.


    At that moment, a high-level Renhuang virtuoso walked out from Donghua Academy. He was a middle-aged man at the eighth Renhuang level. Even though he was not one of the top-tier figures in the academy, Destion was only a level-seven Renhuang. Even though he had a perfect Great Path, the academy did not wish to send out a level-nine Renhuang—a top-tier figure—straight away. Thus, it was he who walked out.


    Several practitioners of the Donghua Academy nodded lightly when they saw him walk out. This was an eptable decision, albeit a risky one, since the person he was facing was Destion.


    “Please,” the level-eight virtuoso spoke to Destion, who was on the mountain peak.


    Destion’s body glided forward and came to the space above the Path Seeking Stage. He did not look at his opponent but instead faced the region between the two ancient peaks. Therey a transparent mirror. Ripples seemed to course through the mirror continuously. It was the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels.


    Before the practitioners of the Donghua Academy sought their path here, if they possessed a perfect Great Path, they would all appraise the levels of their Divine Wheels using the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels to gauge how strong their Divine Wheels were.


    When Destion walked out, he wanted to know how manyyers of divine light his own Divine Wheel could cause the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels to emit.


    The practitioner from Donghua Academy who challenged him only looked at him silently without disturbing him. Nor did he walk up. After all, his Great Path was not perfect, so the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels would not respond to him. There was thus no need for him to go up to appraise his Divine Wheel. Right from the start, he was already disadvantaged.


    “How strong do you think Destion’s Divine Wheel is?” Many people stared at Destion. Wisps of powerful aura emitted from him. Above his body, a jet-ck ancient tree of the Great Way appeared. Its roots seemed to be anchored everywhere, as though it were going to shroud the entire vast space.


    In an instant, the divine mirror radiated his body. In the mirror, a tree also appeared; it was a jet-ck tree. Divine light shrouded Destion’s body. The mirror and he seemed to be connected as one. Divine light appeared on the divine mirror, and oneyer of divine light flowed. Many people turned to stare in that direction.


    “It has appeared.” Everyone stared at the divine mirror, and very quickly, a secondyer of divine light flowed around the ancient tree.


    Furthermore, it had still not yet stopped. When the thirdyer of divine light flowed, many practitioners in the Donghua Academy let out light sounds. Some people were discussing it.


    “Three wheels.” From afar, many people were also watching. It was not that three wheels of divine light were strong. However, ording to what they know, this was not Destion’s most powerful Divine Wheel. He had two main Divine Wheels. In the Deste God Pce, the Destion of every generation must aplish one thing—to forge the “Destion” Wheel. That was Destion’s core Divine Wheel.


    This ancient tree already caused threeyers of divine light to be emitted. This meant that his “Destion Wheel” would certainly surpass threeyers of divine light.


    Indeed, after the thirdyer of divine light, the radiance on the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels stopped flowing.


    However, Destion did not stop moving. An even stronger aura emanated from him. A seemingly ancient and sacred aura descended. One could vaguely sense a will of limitless destion from him. A ck divine pce of destion appeared. It seemed to be a little ethereal, but the divine mirror instantly captured it. The divine mirror radiated its light on the divine pce. The light was especially blinding.


    Layers of divine light swirled around. In just a short moment, threeyers of divine light appeared in the Destion Wheel in the divine mirror. The glorious light showered the entire space and reflected off the mountaintop. Many people could not help but look on in awe.


    Furthermore, this time, everything did not stop yet. Very quickly, the fourthyer of divine light appeared. It was even more magnificent. The radiance on the divine mirror was got much brighter so that it was almost blinding.


    “Impressive,”mended many practitioners from Donghua Academy. The fourthyer of divine light appeared, but it doesn’t seem that it would stop. He was indeed the heir to the Deste God Pce.


    When the fifthyer of divine light appeared, many people took on a serious look. It was the case for the members of various factions.


    In the direction of Lingxiao Pce, Ling He’s eyes also looked in that direction. His psyche was a little disturbed by what he saw. He had also tested his own Divine Wheel before. It could cause the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels to emit only threeyers of divine light. ording to the calctions by the seniors of the Donghua Academy, a practitioner who could seek the path to the high Renhuang level with a Perfect Grade Divine Wheel would also have a Divine Wheel of a higher level.


    On the other hand, it also meant that the higher the level of his Divine Wheel, the higher his chance of retaining a perfect Great Path when breaking through to the high Renhuang level.


    Some seniors of Donghua Academy also thought silently when they saw this unfold before them. It seemed that Jiang Yueli and Zong Chan’s Divine Wheels would not be a low level either. If this were the case, then that would prove that their hypothesis was correct. A person who could retain the perfection of their Great Path at the high Renhuang level would have a Divine Wheel of at least the third level. This corresponded to at least threeyers of divine light in the divine mirror.


    This was just a conjecture that had no proof whatsoever. However, this was all very arcane. These numbers were usually contained within certain rules.


    “There are already fiveyers of divine light.” Many people were looking at the mirror. The level of this Destion’s Divine Wheel was higher than those of all of the disciples of Donghua Academy, apart from Ning Hua.


    The light from the divine mirror was stunning and eye-catching. However, the sixthyer of divine light did not appear in the end. This meant that Destion’s Divine Wheel was still slightly inferior to Ning Hua’s. With this, many practitioners of the Donghua Academy could vaguely ept this conclusion.


    After all, Destion was already very famous. The four people were all figures of the Donghua Domain whose reputations were like the midday sun.


    Destion, however, remained expressionless. No one knew if he was satisfied with fiveyers of divine light. He withdrew the radiance of his Divine Wheel. He levitated through the air and stopped in front of the level-eight virtuoso from Donghua Academy. The two of them faced each other in the empty space.


    Surrounded by ancient peaks, the Path Seeking Stage was extremely spacious. This gavebatants space to move as they liked.


    “Show me what you’ve got,” Destion said to his opponent. In an instant, the Divine Wheel of the level-eight virtuoso appeared. It was a huge, boundless golden picture, as though it were a stone wall. It gave off a particrly sharp feeling.


    In an instant, an endless golden glow appeared in the heavens, apanying the glow of the picture on the Divine Wheel of the Great Path. A matrix seemed to appear in the heavens. Golden motifs flowed around the matrix. Streaks of glorious golden light shot straight down toward Destion with murderous intent.


    The aura from Destion suddenly turned frightening. A will of destion shrouded the entire space, as though the whole world had be grey. A ck tree seemed to appear on his body. The branches and leaves of the trees reached out into all directions and appeared in the space around him as though they were countless limbs.


    Chu chu... A sharp, piercing sound echoed into the distance. A terrifying picture appeared above Destion, and the golden light that hammered down on him was unceasing, like the stream of the Great Path. However, a destructive ck divine light shot upward from Destion. The golden and ck divine light streams collided like two streams of the Great Path flowing toward each other. A chaotic, destructive turbulence urred at the point of collision.


    The Renhuang from the Donghua Academy floated in the air. The divine light of the Great Path bathed his body. A golden armor encased his body, and he seemed to give off an aura of invincibility. Endless divine light apanied him as he shot downward. In the next instant, his body morphed into a beam of light. In the heavens, a straight beam of light shot down toward Destion with killing intent. It pierced straight through the ck, destructive lightning pervading the entire space.


    A fearsome storm appeared, and the entire world seemed to turn gray. Upon seeing his opponent closing in on him, destion did not even react. He stood there without moving. The divine light was iparably swift, but at that moment, someone noticed that Destion had made his move. He raised his hand and pointed forward.


    The golden light stopped, and a golden afterimage was left behind in the air. However, a finger appeared in front. The moment the finger appeared, the annihting radiance of darkness in the surrounding region seemed to be absorbed into the finger. Terrifying ck lightning prated the skies.


    “It’s the Finger of Death. Be careful,” a practitioner from Donghua Academy reminded. However, it was toote. When the Finger of Death appeared, everything else died.


    Boom... A horrifying radiance of darkness drowned out the entire space. Even the golden divine light was swallowed up. The crowd only saw a silhouette fly outward and collide with the matrix. A low sound echoed out, causing the matrix to tremble violently.


    The entire world seemed to take on a dull color. Streaks of ck lightning coursed through the space. In front of Destion, there was even the crisp crackling of lightning. That destructive flow caused everyone’s hearts to turn cold.


    The Finger of Death was one of the ultimate skills of the Deste God Pce. It was terrifying due to its shocking power.


    With just a finger, the level-eight Renhuang’s breath became extremely weak. His Great Path was severely damaged. Everyone was shocked.
