Chapter 240: Changes in Life
At this moment, Chen Shijian's face was filled with tears, and he threw a fatal punch at Meng Ning.
Chen Shijian used all his magical power in this punch, which carried the power to destroy the world. It was like a star falling from the endless darkness, and it came with a majestic momentum that could crush all existence into dust.
Before the fist arrived, the wind from it was like a raging flame, instantly burning Meng Ning's skin to ashes. Meng Ning's skin turned into charred fragments in an instant.
Just when Meng Ning was finally on the verge of death, at this moment when life and death were hanging by a thread.
The world suddenly trembled, and then everything was frozen in that moment.
At this moment, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
In the eyes of Chen Shijian and Meng Ning at this moment, the wind stopped blowing, and the originally soft breeze solidified in the air, forming clearly visible air ribbons.
The clouds stopped floating. Those snow-white clouds in various shapes seemed to be cast under an eternal spell of immobilization, solidified into beautiful yet strange pictures.
Even the birds were suspended in mid-air, maintaining their flying posture, their wings no longer flapping, their feathers no longer fluttering, as if they were sculptures forgotten by time.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shijian understood that his previous guess was correct.
Just as he thought, as the future holy king of the world, his adoptive father's fate will have a significant impact on the world.
Even Meng Ning did not need to die completely. Just being on the verge of death was enough to bring the world to a standstill and force the world's consciousness to emerge.
The battle of cause and effect begins at this moment!!
The next moment, countless dreamy and brilliant golden vines grew out of thin air above the ground.
Those vines seemed to be spiritual creatures with independent consciousness, spreading and growing at a dizzying speed.
They are slender and flexible, shining with dazzling golden light, as if woven from the purest sunlight. Each one is like a smart golden snake, dancing gracefully in the air.
The vines intertwined with each other and gathered towards the sky, forming countless huge golden branches.
These branches are thick and upright, just like the pillars of heaven in ancient legends, standing tall and supporting the sky.
Afterwards, the branches intertwined in the air seemed to be carefully shaped by a pair of invisible giant hands, and gradually turned into towering trees.
After the vines intertwined and turned into giant trees, the textures on the trunks became more mysterious and ancient, deep and distant.
Soon after, countless blue-green leaves grew on the giant golden tree.
Those leaves are light and transparent, and each one sparkles with a strange and dreamy light, as if carrying countless stories and destinies.
The leaves exude a dreamy atmosphere, and the edges sparkle with silver light as bright as the Milky Way. With a slight tremor, they are like star fragments falling to the earth.
In the above scenario, all developments at this moment are in a state of suspension in time and space.
Even Chen Shijian's action of attacking Meng Ning was frozen in time and space. His fist stopped in mid-air and the expression on his face froze.
He shouldn't have been conscious, but his status was extremely high, and his master's magical powers were related to time, space, and cause and effect.
Although he was unable to move at this moment, his consciousness was still clear and he could perceive everything clearly. He could even clearly see Meng Ning's body in front of him, which was burned by the flames like a mummy.
Is this what it feels like when the great war of cause and effect begins?
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, this was his first time to actually experience it. After all, the future world would be under Meng Ning's rule, and everything in the future was already determined with no variables. Naturally, he had no chance to participate in the war of cause and effect.
But after all, Chen Shijian learned from Teacher Hao Guang the purpose of the causal war, and soon two causal fruits representing world consciousness should be completely formed on the giant golden tree.
The moment the fruit is formed, the prerequisites for the battle of cause and effect are ready, the prize appears, and the world consciousness will release its influence on everyone.
He was prepared, and when this moment came, he would immediately mobilize all his magical powers to blast Meng Ning in front of him into pieces.
Then, he rushed to the top of the golden tree as soon as possible and used all his magical powers to completely destroy the fruit of the Dharma Realm!
Now, he is confident that he has the ability to do so.
Immediately afterwards, in Chen Shijian’s consciousness, the fruit on the giant golden tree had gradually taken shape.
The fruit is round and full, like a dream, as if it contains the mystery and power of the whole world, and the trajectory of all destinies seems to be in it.
Chen Shijian stared at the charred Meng Ning in front of him, thinking to himself, It's almost time, it's almost time, godfather, this is the last time you will be alive in this world.
I guessed in advance that as long as you were on the verge of death, a causal war would begin. If I could be sure of this, perhaps I would not use all my strength to kill you and could spare your life.
No... Then Chen Shijian changed his mind and thought, perhaps, if I hadn't thrown this punch with the intention of killing you, the cause and effect battle would never have started.
Well, father, I'm sorry, for the fate of mankind, you must die!
Gradually, the stagnation of time began to loosen, and the magic power in Chen Shijian's body began to surge immediately, rushing through his meridians like a tide.
He was waiting for that moment to come, waiting to break free from the shackles and achieve his goal.
Finally, the fruits on the giant tree had finished growing. Chen Shijian did not dare to be careless and immediately attacked Meng Ning with all his strength!
Goodbye, Dad!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Two finger bones as white as jade appeared from nowhere and floated in front of Meng Ning.
"What!" Chen Shijian widened his eyes in disbelief.
The entire finger bone is crystal clear, emitting a soft milky white glow, as if it is the purest existence between heaven and earth.
"You can actually block my punch?" Chen Shijian broke out in sweat on his forehead.
Countless mysterious lines are engraved on each finger bone, and golden light flows in the lines, as if the most original force of cause and effect between heaven and earth is flowing through them.
"Is that... the embodiment of cause and effect?" Chen Shijian's eyes shrank into needles, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the finger bones, and countless tiny golden threads intertwined, weaving into a mysterious web of cause and effect.
The next moment, the golden thread of cause and effect spread wildly along Chen Shijian's fist like a living thing, instantly wrapping him tightly like a golden cocoon.
"Damn it!" Chen Shijian roared, and all his magic power burst out. As the golden light exploded, the silk threads broke one after another, and the two white finger bones instantly became dull and lost all their luster.
Chen Shijian was about to attack again, but he saw that Meng Ning's figure had disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint spatial fluctuation.
"Run away?!" Chen Shijian gritted his teeth.
He immediately expanded his spiritual sense and searched for Meng Ning's whereabouts.
Suddenly, a sickening evil aura broke into his perception.
"This...this corpse qi is..." Chen Shijian's pupils shrank sharply.
That breath was filled with endless resentment and greed, as if it had been devouring all the beauty in the world since time immemorial.
Rotting flesh, twisted souls, countless maddening images flashed through Chen Shijian’s mind.
That existence seemed to be born for hatred and exists for plunder, and its every breath was telling of its malice towards the world.
Following this breath, Chen Shijian suddenly looked up at the sky...
