Chapter 509 Fateless Abilities

Elder Red Fist returned to his inn, where a muscular man waited for him.

"Supreme Elder," quickly bowed Elder Red Fist and Ye Chen.

"I'm guessing the negotiations did not go as planned?" asked the Supreme Elder.

"Unfortunately, no," replied Elder Red Fist before explaining the situation. The Supreme Elder pondered briefly before answering: "In that case, let's just accept their terms."

"But, what about Zhen Chao's body?"

"It's probably refined by now," replied the Supreme Elder, sighing with some sadness. He was of the few people who knew of Zhen Chao's being part of someone else Outlaw Trial.

He knew that Zhen Chao's Heart Demon was the death of his family, and only by killing the man responsible would his mind sublimate, and he could reach the best version of himself.

So, the higher-ups of the Martial Origin Sect agreed to let him fight and even let him borrow three of the sect's Emperor Artifacts. In their mind, they never dreamt of Zhen Chao's failure–especially with that Chaos Treasure and how strategically-minded the latter was.

"Supreme Elder, why did Zhen Chao fight with the Dao Opening Sect's heir?"

The muscular Elder looked at Red Fist and did not hide anything from him regarding the Outlaw Trial and the Karmic Ties between these two individuals.

Then, Red Fist sighed then said: "It is a shame to lose a Fateless like this."

"That's true."

Fateless are people born with no Limitations. To be precise, they are people born with higher Limitations than others. As such, once a Fateless proves the Dao, they can naturally stay longer in the Source Qi Space to gather energy to create Immortal Venerables. It is also easier for them to refine Dao Source Seeds.

Furthermore, they are not affected by Karmas even more than typical Great Emperors. So, they can cut off the Karma for more people without backlash and could technically stay longer in the lower dimension without receiving punishment.

Fateless can do more inhuman things in the lower dimension, like destroying Great Thousand Worlds and refining all the people inside for their Spiritual Strenght, blood energy, and vitality.

Ordinary Emperors will suffer consequences after destroying a few hundred worlds, and even a few thousands or more, if they are Eternal Emperors or their main Dao is Karma.

The same rules would apply to Fateless Beings even if they were lowly Third-Class Emperors. These are the advantages they will receive after proving the Dao, but they also have other benefits in the Mortal Stage. For example, they do not have to go through Heavenly Tribulations if they do not want to.

Across all worlds in the Endless Void, as long as cultivators, martial artists, Gods, or practitioners, in general, reach a certain cultivation stage, they have to undergo Heavenly Tribulations–except for Fateless Beings.

The only exception to this rule is that Fateless can still suffer from Heart Demon, affecting their minds. However, it will never show up in the form that Wang Wei experienced, where the physical manifestation of his Heart Demon appeared to tempt him.

'I should have guessed something was wrong with Zhen Chao when I saw the incredible amount of Qi Luck he had; that was abnormal.'

Fateless do not have Qi Luck, or at least, they have a normal one when people observe their Luck. However, all Fateless usually have fortunate encounters as great most geniuses with multicolored luck, and sometimes, on the level of Sons of Destiny.

The reason for that is their ability to passively absorb the luck of the people around them, while their Qi Luck looks ordinary.

Heaven and Earth is fair, and there is no absolute. Although Fateless are people who escape Fate at birth, this fact is not absolute. 99% of Fateless Beings will be born in ordinary mortal families and spend the rest of their lives without knowing their status. And once they die and enter Samsara, they will lose their title.

Because of their ability to absorb luck, the families of Fateless will leave a life full of fortune and wealth without suffering any calamities.

The only way for Fateless to activate their powers and reap the benefit is to want to pursue cultivation and go out of their way to search for it.

Elder Red Fist shook his head after thinking about this.

Zhen Chao's Qi Luck concerned the sect, and many people who opposed him used this excuse to invalidate his status. However, after many tests, the sect discovered he was indeed a Fateless, but one who was blessed with incredible Luck by someone.

Some people concluded it might have been their founder, the Martial Ancestor. Now, Elder Red Fist understood that the Qi Luck was a restrain Heavenly Dao placed on Zhen Chao so that he could be calculated and controlled.

After all, no matter how special or unique Fateless Beings are, it does not change the fact they are mortal. Immortal Tier cultivators have ways to not only detect their presence but also control and dictate their fate.

So, most of them have three outcomes: live a mortal life and die, be controlled/another cultivator to absorb and refine their souls, or walk on the path of cultivation to achieve true freedom.

95% of them fall on the first two outcomes, with only 5% walking on the path of cultivation. And even then, if they do not prove the Dao, these Fateless will also die and enter Samsara. However, some with high cultivation and intelligence have found ways to keep their status in their next life.

The Supreme Elder looked at the quiet Ye Chen.
