” Ah, We meet again.”
Jun Tianyun opened his eyes as he looked at the cosmos. He stood in the void, amidst the sea of stars.
” You…Have changed a lot.”
Before Jun Tianyun stood a different being. No longer a floating space monster made up of blobbed flesh and blood, with countless swords stabbed around its body.
Before him stood a gigantic figure, similar to a human body but with more elongated limbs and a thin torso, like a malnourished man. His silver wings spanned across like silver rivers, and the feathers were made from glistening metals.
His face was covered with a great helm, with a pair of blazing silver could be seen inside the slit of helmet.
The figure nodded as he looked at Jun Tianyun.
” I have let go of my past and refined my heart demon into my own strength. Hence, I managed to not only change for good, but also ascended a step.”
” Well, that’s very cool. But right now, I need you!” Jun Tianyun said with a suppressed hurriedness.
” I can see you have gathered quite an immense energy as sacrifice.”
” Of course!” Jun Tianyun nodded. ” So, Can you descend?”
” I can sense your world. It’s rather…extraordinary.” Azeal responded in a deep voice.
” However, it also stands at the edge of the cosmic ring. Combined with the high restrictions of your world, I don’t think I can use my full strength.”
” Then what you can do?” Jun Tianyun couldn’t help but be annoyed. ” Look, I need to defeat an evil being. And that evil being is fucking immune to holy power.”
” Ah… I see.”
Azeal pondered as he looked at Jun Tianyun.
” I can’t fathom why despite your overwhelming power, You are struggling against it?”
Jun Tianyun was speechless when he heard Azeal’s words. He momentarily forgot that the mysteriousness of Throne of Fate was still making him project as a fully divine being.
” Let’s just say I have my own circumstances. So, are you in or not?” Jun Tianyun stared at Azeal.
” The price is too good for me to refuse.” Azeal’s tone became amused. ” Not to mention, how can I not help you in your need?”
” When even the blessings on me waned in my world, My sole righteousness pushed me forward. Even it get twisted, and corrupted, this is what gave me powers to defeat the Evil Dark Mage.”
” The end, a man’s will shall decide which will win, Evil or Righteousness.”
” I lend you my sword, imbued with my power and will. May it slay all evil and destroy any obstacles in your path.”
” Behold my sword! The Dawnbreaker!”
Jun Tianyun opened his eyes as he saw Luciel managed to break through the maze of spatial rifts, coming straight towards him.
However, at that moment, he felt a sword appeared in his right hand. A longsword that looked more like a great sword. However, its handle was clearly made for single-handed usage.
The sword was straight and sharp, the edge flashing like golden mercury. Two thick tree roots twisted together, weaving a handle with a perfect grip. The entire sword was covered with a light yet elegant silver aura, capable of sizzling the space around itself.
The moment the sword appeared in Jun Tianyun’s hands, he felt countless memories appear in his mind. In the past, he had already seen the battle of Azeal and Dark Mage Modar.
However, this time, the memory wasn’t about battle; it was about the power and technique.
Jun Tianyun’s Eyes of Fortune brightened as the world around him shifted, turning the reality into monochrome with splashes of colors here and there.
” Divine Knight’s Sword Art, First Form, The Guardian Sword!”
” Destruction Wave!
Luciel’s halberd shone with a pitch black brilliance as he thrust it towards Jun Tianyun.
The sword faced downwards as Jun Tianyun used it. A silver brilliance spread as the body of the sword blocked the halberd, a barrier made up of sword energy.
The silver aura combusted into pale flames with a hint of mercury, burning away the evil energy from Luciel’s attack.
” Fate Exchange!”
Jun Tianyun was elated when he saw that the main propeller of Luciel’s attack, the overbearing evil energy, was destroyed by the Dawnbreaker Sword.
The remaining power of destruction, Jun Tianyun, had a much convenient time siphoning it to somewhere else using his fortune points.
With a harrump, Jun Tianyun swung the sword, stabbing towards Luciel. The sword energy converged around him, shooting toward Luciel like a tidal wave.
” What is this?! What kind of weapon are you using?
Lucie’s eyes shrank as he jumped back, his black wings spreading like two giant swords across his back.
” No matter what! You shall perish today!”
With a single flap, the fabric of space around him tore apart as he pushed toward Jun Tianyun. His wings shooting out countleess black feathers, covering the sky with darkness as they fell on Jun Tianyun like a black rain of arrows.
” Second Stance! Word Breaking Slash!”
Jun Tianyun felt like he was truly turning one with the sword itself. It was like he had finally found a perfect conduit for his power, for both his magic and martial arts.
The sword shone with a flash of brilliance as an arc of light sliced through the sky. The black arrows melted like snowflakes under the fire, dissipating into nothingness.
” Hahaha! Me? Perishing?” Jun Tianyun snorted. ” I have enough of your bullshit!”
Luciel’s eyes filled with murderous rage as he also shot toward Jun Tianyun. His halberd turned into a gigantic black serpent, trying to swallow Jun Tianyun.
” Third Form, Thousand Falling Swords!”
Jun Tianyun pointed his sword at Luciel. Suddenly, the sword buzzed as a thousand sword shadows appeared around Jun Tianyun, each shooting towards the black serpent.
The sword shadows rained down on the body of the giant serpent, each sword cleaving a part of its body with utter precision. As thousands of sword shadows rained, it swept the body of the serpent clean.
However, the destruction energy wasn’t easy to siphon. To conserve his energy, he could only deflect a certain amount while bearing the burnt of the rest.
His Heavenly Martial Projection was filled with pitch black cracks, continuously expanding and contracting as the fight between destructive energy and Jun Tianyun’s life force continued.
*CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!*
As time passed, both Luciel and Jun Tianyun lost their rationality as their fight turned fierce. Their weapons clashed and clashed as they already stepped into the void itself, no longer fighting in the Nether Realm.
” AAAAHHHHHH!”
” RAAAGHHHHH!”
The sword and halberd clashed; the energy was enough to raze down cities and vaporize millions. But Jun Tianyun and Luciel fought on like two maddened beasts.
Lucie was aghast as he felt Jun Tianyun was now fighting with him toe to toe without backing down.
‘ Have I become weaker? No, it’s him! He became stronger! He can fight off against my power!’
‘ And what is this? This isn’t holy energy. Yet it’s harming me equally!’
Jun Tianyun’s lips curled as he used the Dawnbreaker Sword, his fighting abilities pushed to the maximum. It was simply because of the trait he obtained with the sword.
Bane of Evil: Suppression of evil energy, increased damage against it. No evil shall stay under the radiance of this sword.
” Claws of Evil!”
” Fourth Stance! Limitless Bladeworks!”
Jun Tianyun’s sword tore through the shadowy claws as he shot toward Luciel. However, Luciel’s body dodged the sword energy.
” Hahaha! You are getting slow! Your body can’t handle so much energy!”
” In the end, the victory will be mine!”
” My followers! Give me your strength!”
Luciel realized that the power of his Holy Sacrifice was lowering down. So, he decided to borrow the faith power from all his followers and finish Jun Tianyun for once and all.
But suddenly, the void around him exploded as sword rays shot towards his body.
” Bastard! You laid traps for me?”
” I wasn’t informed that it was illegal?”
Suddenly, the Wheel of Fortune appeared behind Jun Tianyun as it spun slowly, emitting a brilliant light.
” It’s a big no for a boss to have a healing potion in the middle of fight.” Jun Tianyun wiped blood from his lips.
” Your voice shall indeed spread, but to my followers, in my voice!”
” Probability Manipulation! Fate Exchange!”

At that moment, everyone who followed the Fortune Charity Group and Heaven’s Secret Tower, everyone who has faith in their lord, the Monarch of Heaven’s Fortune, heard a voice in their heart.
” Put faith in me, and I shall bless you.”
