All kinds of powers combined in an instant, pushing Xiao Mu to the brink of death.

Xiao Mu's complexion changed as he realized the power was too strong, like it was fate, predetermined, and difficult to resist.

Tribulation Calamity took shape in the sky, with Thunderbolt and Thunder ready to strike at any moment.

However, at the cusp of the Tribulation Calamity's descent, Xiao Mu instead became calm. He reached into the Earth Seal Space, and the next moment, the Creation Axe appeared in his hand.

Crack!

With a light swing of the Creation Axe, Creation's White Light pierced through, enveloping Xiao Mu in an instant, adding a thin layer of Creation's film around his body.

This film isolated everything, also temporarily severing the connection between the various powers and Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The power of Creation bought him time.

Seizing this opportunity, he scrutinized the Heavenly Dao powers that were isolated outside his body by Creation.

These powers came from the ultimate authority's treasures, undoubtedly, but they emanated from various points within his body, beginning to affect his flesh.

This meant that as long as his body was still there, the influence of these Heavenly Dao powers on him was always present, even if he died and became a Yin Soul.

As long as the Yin Soul existed, the powers also did, unless they were completely annihilated, turning into nothingness.

Among them, the strongest power of all authorities was undoubtedly Fate, which was situated above his own Baihui, at the very top of his head, enveloping his entire body, controlling his Fate through a distant force.

Subsequently, Life and Death, Retribution, Reincarnation, and other powers accompanied each other, further enhancing their collective might.

The power of Heavenly Dao didn't seem to be man-made but naturally occurring, at least, the powers that had manifested on me just now were natural.

Heavenly Dao was always present, and just now, an ordinary person endured the power of Heavenly Dao. In the end, Retribution struck, life and death shattered, and he entered Reincarnation.

What about me?

The power of Heavenly Dao projected on me far exceeded that of an ordinary person, yet I was just as unprotected against Heavenly Dao as he was.

No, that's not right, it shouldn't be. I am a Mutated Being, how could it be that I have no power to resist Heavenly Dao? Could it be...

At this thought, something stirred in Xiao Mu's heart.

It wasn't that he had no power to resist Heavenly Dao; it was that the power of Heavenly Dao had only just truly entered the Human World, and before this, he had never considered resisting.

How to resist Heavenly Dao?

Own strength? The True Force? Power? Or the authority gained through Cultivation?

With various choices at hand, Xiao Mu eventually leaned toward relying on his own authority.

Authority against authority undeniably seemed to be the best method of resistance.

Despite this, he didn't give up using other powers and decided, in addition to authority, to utilize all sorts of powers to test their effectiveness against Heavenly Dao.

Ordinary Power, Xiao Mu tried to gather the ordinary Power from his entire body, directing it to each of the Destiny Points on his own body.

This ordinary Power integrated into the points, beginning to blockade the Mysterious Ancient Wells.

As Power poured in, Xiao Mu could clearly feel the influence of Heavenly Dao on him weakening. But because this ordinary Power was indeed too weak, the diminishing effect on Heavenly Dao's influence was extremely limited.

"It's useful, let's try the True Force."

The effect of ordinary Power resisting Heavenly Dao caused a small joy in Xiao Mu's heart, and he immediately mobilized the True Force for a trial.

The effect of the True Force was stronger than ordinary Power, causing further obstruction at the orifice of the Destiny Points.

Finally, Xiao Mu used his own authority.

The image of the Divine Monarch emerged, Golden color authority pouring down from the top of his head, infusing into each Mysterious Destiny Point well.

The Mysterious Ancient Well of Destiny was further obstructed, and the difficulty of the power of Heavenly Dao corresponding to the depths projecting in also became increasingly great.

At this point, Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Heavenly Dao was not insurmountable, the stronger one's strength, the stronger the ability to counter the power of Heavenly Dao.

However, the stronger one's strength, the larger the corresponding Mysterious Well would be, and the stronger the power of Heavenly Dao projecting through it, the deeper the influence of Heavenly Dao on oneself.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, this was clearly a paradox.

The cultivation of Mutated Beings could enhance their own strength, increase the ability to counter Heavenly Dao, gain a longer lifespan, and escape the threat of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Yet, in fact, the stronger one's strength, the greater the threat of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and the stronger the rejection by Heavenly Dao itself.

"It seems that Mutated Beings must find a way to cultivate, as the power of Heavenly Dao projecting in here intensifies with the passage of time."

"Mutated Beings possess eternal life, but while they counter Heavenly Dao, they also face its rejection; eternal life cannot truly be eternal."

"Once unable to counter Heavenly Dao, it would be immediate annihilation."

The results of his conjecture made Xiao Mu vigilant, at this moment, Creation on him was completely exhausted, Creation's White Light dissipated, and the protection vanished too.

Xiao Mu was nervous, holding the Creation Axe, observing the changes in his own Destiny Point.

Thankfully, the Destiny Point seemed to be truly blocked, the power of Heavenly Dao could not penetrate out from the profound and deep ancient wells for the time being, unable to affect his body and strip his life away.

Xiao Mu exhaled in relief and continued to carefully observe the Mysterious Ancient Wells, observing the various Destiny Points, including those representing Retribution, life and death, Reincarnation, Five Elements Yin and Yang, and so on.

Within the Destiny Point, a terrifying power surged tumultuously below. In an extremely remote and profound place within the Destiny Point, a grey-white book flickered in and out of visibility.

This grey-white book hovered within the unknown of Xu Wu, belonging to no place in reality, and perhaps not even within this universe.

However, the Power of Destiny constantly penetrated out from the grey-white book, making this grey-white book appear like a sun that continued to shine.

Xiao Mu's body had a point, as if a tiny hole had been drilled into another dimension space, connecting through this hole to the grey-white book, allowing the light of the grey-white book to project through.

This grey-white book transmitted light every moment, and among this light, a single thread passed through Xiao Mu's small hole, the so-called Destiny Point, and affected Xiao Mu's body.

And with the infusion of the Power of Destiny, Xiao Mu had a feeling.

Despite having laid out authoritative power, True Force, and ordinary power in the deep ancient wells to block these forces from projecting, the power penetrating through the small hole grew ever greater, and the force unable to project through the hole to affect one's body would eventually break through the forces used to block the Mysterious Ancient Well, ultimately destroying oneself and taking one's life.

Not just Fate, other forces like Retribution, life and death, and Reincarnation were the same.

New conjectures once again filled Xiao Mu with worry—death could come at any moment, and the only correct course was to increase one's strength at all costs.

As long as one's strength increased faster than the influence of Heavenly Dao upon oneself, one could contend with Heavenly Dao long-term, possessing an immortal life.

Otherwise, once stagnation set in and the power of Heavenly Dao burst forth, immediate death would be the result.

Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Mu opened his spiritual eyes and once again observed the Destiny Point, each representing the power of Heavenly Dao in the Mysterious Ancient Well.

In the ancient wells, the water surged tumultuously, as though a boundless sea was contained within a tiny well. The well was too small, and the sea too large, so much so that the sea might at any moment expand and shatter the well.

Moreover, within the ancient wells, there was an ever-changing nature, giving Xiao Mu a sense of ever-present potential danger of new threats forming.

Without needing to speculate, Xiao Mu quickly thought of a possibility: the so-called promotion of authority.

The power of Heavenly Dao connected to oneself, although temporarily suppressed, could, once individuals like those akin to the Divine Monarch pushed the power of Heavenly Dao, such as Retribution, then the light of the Retribution Lamp would suddenly focus within the Mysterious Ancient Well, the Destiny Point corresponding to Retribution. This would allow a large amount of energy to flood into one's side, subjecting oneself to Retribution.

At this thought, Xiao Mu's expression turned dark, and he fell silent once again.

Suddenly, he realized another possibility—Destiny Point might have no relation to Heavenly Dao, being merely an expansion of the life force following cultivation.

However, with the expansion of this life force, even more underlying dangers penetrated through, placing the cultivator in an increasingly perilous situation.

The stronger the cultivator's power, the closer the distance to Heavenly Dao, and the closer that distance, the greater the threat faced.

The Retribution Light suddenly intensified, and the Destiny Point of Retribution boiled over.
