"Is this the effect of 'Fate's Sorrow'?"
"Directly acting on the level of fate, weakening its defenses, disrupting its energy control, and even reducing its 'luck' attribute to some extent…"
Dai Chengfeng carefully analyzed the information fed back by his soul skill, waves of excitement welling up within him.
"Ignoring conventional defenses and targeting the essence for weakening—this truly is a godlike ability!"
Though the Golden-Horned Giant Ape did not understand human speech, its animal instincts made it acutely aware that the bizarre and ominous changes occurring to it were absolutely related to this tiny human before it!
An unprecedented sense of crisis and an overwhelming killing intent drowned its rationality. It let out a deafening roar.
Unleashing all its power recklessly, it charged at Dai Chengfeng like a mad beast, determined to tear this harbinger of misfortune into pieces!
However, under the continuous influence of "Fate's Sorrow"…
This enraged strike, though powerful and forceful, was riddled with openings due to unsteady footing and erratic energy flow.
Dai Chengfeng moved like lightning, effortlessly sidestepping this reckless charge.
At the same time, upon his right palm, golden-blue soul power was highly compressed and condensed into a razor-thin energy blade, edged with subtle black electric sparks…
A manifestation of extreme sharpness, slightly slicing through space itself!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Dimensional Slash!"
With the activation of the fourth soul skill, Dai Chengfeng swung down with his hand.
The energy blade sliced through the air silently, leaving behind a faint but clearly visible transparent spatial crack wherever it passed.
Under normal circumstances, given the formidable defense of the Golden-Horned Giant Ape's scales, this attack would have left only a white mark.
But under the potent weakening effect of "Fate's Sorrow," the defensive capability of the scales around the ape's neck had significantly diminished!
Shhhkk——!
The dimensional slash struck precisely near the wound previously opened by the Origin Metal Qi. The minute spatial crack displayed terrifying cutting power, penetrating deeply beneath the scales…
A massive wound burst open, and dark golden blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Roar——!"
The Golden-Horned Giant Ape let out an extremely piercing cry of pain. Its massive body shook violently from the heavy blow, and for the first time, clear fear appeared in its eyes.
It couldn't comprehend why its once-reliable strong defense had become so fragile?
Why could this human's attacks always find its weaknesses with such precision and deal devastating damage?
Grand Priest Zhu Hongye, watching from afar, was utterly astounded. She stared fixedly at the slowly rotating rose-gold soul ring beneath Dai Chengfeng's feet, her voice filled with disbelief:
"That soul ring just now… that color… unheard of!"
"And that fluctuation of power… strange, too strange!"
"Completely beyond the realms of conventional elemental, spiritual, and physical forces—what exactly is this power?"
And while the Grand Priest was still in shock…
On the battlefield, Dai Chengfeng grew more and more formidable.
The continuous weakening effect of "Fate's Sorrow" rendered the once-fearsome Golden-Horned Giant Ape clumsy and retreating step by step.
However, the dignity and ferocity of a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast were not to be trifled with.
In its life-or-death moment, the Golden-Horned Giant Ape finally unleashed the full potential hidden in its bloodline!
The horn on its forehead erupted with an unprecedented blinding light, resembling a small dark golden sun.
A far more terrifying and violent pressure surged over the battlefield like a tide, filling the air with destructive energy fluctuations!
"Not good! It's been pushed to the brink and is about to burn its essence to fight desperately!"
Feng Xiaotian felt the chilling aura that made his soul tremble and exclaimed in alarm.
Huo Wu's heart instantly leaped to her throat, her delicate hands tightly clasped together in tension.
However, facing this desperate counterattack, Dai Chengfeng remained astonishingly calm.
He didn't choose to retreat temporarily to avoid the brunt of the attack; instead, he stepped forward proactively!
At the same time, beneath the skin of his forehead, a peculiar and intricate pattern glowing faintly with golden light suddenly emerged, as if opening a third divine eye!
A more noble, more ethereal wave of fate power rippled outward…
This was the powerful soul skill granted by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Destiny Skull received after the sacrifice!
"The Verdict of Fate!"
Dai Chengfeng's deep and authoritative voice rang out, as if pronouncing a predetermined outcome.
The skull soul skill activated, and an intangible yet grander, more direct force of fate instantly enveloped an area of a hundred meters.
This time, Dai Chengfeng clearly felt his own "luck" forcibly elevated and fixed to an exceptionally high level by a powerful force.
Conversely, the opponent, the Golden-Horned Giant Ape's "luck," was mercilessly suppressed and deprived!
The effects were immediate, even appearing somewhat "absurd" and unbelievable!
The Golden-Horned Giant Ape, having gathered all its strength for the ultimate strike, suddenly lost balance as the solid ground beneath it collapsed without warning.
The impending destructive energy thus severely deviated from its intended direction, blasting onto an empty side area, kicking up a cloud of dust!
A sudden, directionless whirlwind conveniently arose, swirling up a large amount of sand…
Precisely blowing towards the face of the Golden-Horned Giant Ape, temporarily obscuring its blood-red eyes!
Even more laughable was a bird-like soul beast in the sky, seemingly frightened and diving down in panic, which "bang!" hit the forehead of the Golden-Horned Giant Ape.
Though it still felt like a tickle to it, the humiliation almost made it spit blood in rage!
"What… what's going on?"
Huo Wu looked with wide eyes, her cherry-red lips forming an O shape. The battle before her had completely surpassed her understanding.
"Can luck… also become a means of attack?"
Feng Xiaotian's facial muscles twitched a few times, eventually breaking into a bitter smile filled with absurdity.
"It seems today, this Golden-Horned Giant Ape isn't just suffering from reduced strength—it's downright unlucky, choking even on cold water…"
"But, logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this."
"How can a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast be so unlucky?"
Feng Xiaotian was perplexed.
Meanwhile…
At this moment, under the powerful boost of "The Verdict of Fate," Dai Chengfeng felt as if he had become the favorite child of fate.
Every step he took was perfectly timed, every attack hitting precisely the vulnerabilities exposed by various accidents on the Golden-Horned Giant Ape.
On the other hand, the Golden-Horned Giant Ape had become the forsaken child of fate.
Despite possessing immense power, its attacks repeatedly missed due to continuous, seemingly accidental yet inevitable interferences.
Even standing steadily became difficult.
Frustrated, it could only emit frenzied roars.
"Roar roar, Abba Abba, Makabaka Wuxidi Xi…!"
