Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1162 Solution

Wang Wei's eyes suddenly squinted as he sensed something. Sadly, he was too late to move as two people appeared behind him out of nowhere. The first was a muscular man with tiger stripes, eyes, and canines, followed by a woman with a golden sword.

The tiger man punched through Wang Wei's armor, shattering the back. The woman followed him by puncturing the [Invisible Will Armor] and touching Wang Wei's skin, which did resist for a moment before being penetrated.

The eyes of these two lit up after seeing the success. They absorbed the strength of dozens of their companions and waited for the perfect time to attack, and now, they finally succeeded in landing a killing blow.

'This sword,' Wang Wei thought as blood spluttered from his mouth. He realized this sword was also a Creation Lifeform, hence its power and sharpness to penetrate his defense.

'The sword is a living creature that refuses to be removed from my body. Its intelligence allows it to act similar to a Dao Will as it swallows my life energy to hinder my regeneration and kill me as swiftly as possible.'

Wang Wei could even see a power protecting the creature's soul to ensure he lasts as long as possible. He calmly placed his hand on the weapon and used his wife's Sealing Technique to seal it. After seeing this, the attackers' faces turned ugly, and they decided to retreat - at least, the woman did.

The tiger man roared, releasing the aura of a beast at the top of the food chain before punching his opponent a second time. Since one punch could not do the work, he'll try a second, or as many as possible, to put this arrogant intruder down.

'I should be able to severely injure him while he's in this state,' thought the tiger man confidently.

[Myriad Spirit Manifestation Technique: Taotie]

A terrifying creature with only a colossal mouth materialized next to the tiger man and swallowed him with its enormous mouth. The tiger man was a powerful body refiner who had swallowed many people. As such, Wang Wei felt terrifying energy rushing into his body, rapidly repairing the damage. His aura suddenly boosted after pulling out the sword.

'Seventh Step, and I didn't even use her food,' he thought. 'More importantly, I haven't completely digested the energy, so it should bring me to the 8th step.'

Wang Wei absorbed some energy from the sealed weapon to repair his armor while adding more willpower also to recondense the invisible armor. Finally, he focused on Old Man Nether, who had to sacrifice a few more people to stop that attack.

He looked at Wang Wei, fury evident in his eyes. However, it was not a wild and uncontrollable kind of rage, but the kind that is cold and calculated while also wrathful beyond words. He raised his arm to open hundreds of portals connected to the Nether Hell. A black Yin Qi full of evil spirits rushed out to enter the bodies of every creation, including himself. These creatures' eyes turned red, apparently entering a berserker state.

These people rushed toward Wang Wei as if they were a group of wild creatures that had not eaten or seen any meat for weeks. The bloodlust they released was now tangible, turning the battlefield red.

'Now,' thought Wang Wei as he raised his hand to banish more than a hundred of these people into a special universe that he created to seal them. The berserk state increased their strength but also decreased their mental capabilities, so he took advantage of this opportunity. Wang Wei also wanted to forcibly change the fate lines of these people to turn them into her soldiers, but he detected protective measures that Old Man Nether took to prevent this from happening.

Wang Wei's face changed as his armor disappeared, followed by his Invisible Will Armor. And that was just not the end as he felt the defensive capabilities of his skin and his fleshly body also drastically weakened.

'Another weird ability from someone who sacrifices everything for one power. This one should be based on Order-Disorder, canceling all forms of defenses,' Wang Wei's mind rapidly thought as his body moved to counter the attack. Sadly, it was too late.

[Billion World Explosions]

Old Man Nether used a common but dirty tactic that Empyreans used: creating countless worlds with their Grandmist Wheel and using them as bombs or explosives. Countless small red orbs appeared around Wang Wei, each representing a world probably on par with the lower dimension, exploding simultaneously.

His body appeared, displaying to the battlefield how much of a terrible state he was in. He looked like a slice of burned Swiss cheese with countless holes, his skin all black due to the burning.

"Don't let him regenerate," Old Man Nether ordered with an ugly expression. Unlike their previous battle, he could no longer use [Existence Hierarchy] to damage his opponent since the Taboo Realm grants protection from this. Meanwhile, Old Man Nether is not an Everlasting Empyrean, meaning he had no access to a Dao Will.

On top of that, his talent for body refining has always been subpar, so after leaving for so long, he's only achieved an imperfect Will Manifestation. His opponent would not allow such weak power to enter or remain inside his body.

An intense white light released from Wang Wei's body as the life aspect of his Samsara Dao activated to help him recover. Adding on the previous blood energy he swallowed from the tiger man, he recovered before the fastest of this group arrived. Sadly, his armor was no longer functional. In fact, if he had not put it away, his proving Dao artifact might have been destroyed, resulting in a small backlash.

He calmly watched these people approaching before clenching his fist and punching: [Anti-Creation Fist]. A terrifying power that seems to be the antithesis of life itself rushed toward these people, instantly killing seven of them, and the rest suddenly stopped midway. They felt terrified.

That's right, these terrifying creatures with the power to end all life in the lower dimension felt fear, and the reason is simple. Wang Wei's attack reminded them of the harshest and cruelest day or moment of their life - their Creation Tribulation.

"No, this is still not it," Wang Wei muttered, feeling this newly created technique was not on par with his desire. He punched a second time, and the fear appeared a second time, this time even more potent. They could feel it from that punch: the sensation that they did not belong, the feeling of being judged by extremely high standards, and the fear of death.

The punch perfectly recreated the power and sensation of the worst moment of their life. Its power can be described as their nemesis, their antithesis, the opposite of their existence. As such, it deserved the name [Anti-Creation].

Boom!

More than 20 creatures died from that one attack. Moreover, the demoralizing fear woke most of them from their berserk state.

'Damn it. With this technique, it will become easier for him to kill these creatures. Not to mention how low morale will prevent them from using all their strength.'

Countless thoughts rushed through Old Man Nether's mind as he thought of a solution. 'The crux of the technique is their origin as Creation Lifeforms. If I could temporarily change that, the technique's effect would be reduced by more than ninety percent.'

He immediately summoned one of his creations with low strength and potential but a unique ability called [Origin Control].

"Summer, you -"

Swish!

A sword light flashed before Old Man Nether's eyes, cutting Summer's head while also heading for him. A bone shield appeared before his face, blocking the attack, but it was not over. Four of his people rushed toward him for a suicide mission.

Old Man Nether made the correct decision in this dangerous scenario by exchanging positions with one of his creations in the distance.

'Damn it, how could I be so stupid.' He thought Wang Wei only left a curse mark on the 52 members who died, but that was not true. He only killed those while leaving the rest as pawns to use at the right time.

The Nether Hell Ruler used his authority as a creator to access the imprints of all his creations and check their bodies. He found three more curse marks and decided to lay them to rest and deal with it later. However, Wang Wei acted and activated the curses, turning these people into a blaze of glory, no, horror. Old Man Nether immediately realized it would be useless to deal with that curse, given it's not his expertise and did not even try.

'At this point, the only solution is the Nether Monarch Sword.' Old Man Nether gritted his teeth after thinking this. His anger almost destroys his reason, thinking he will have to use such a high price to kill one little Emperor in the lower dimension.
