Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-155

In the Endless Void, the few remaining True Monarchs looked at one person who had two demonic beasts beside him: one tiger and one lion. These demonic beasts exuded the pressure of Supreme, meaning they were in fact Tier 9 Demonic beasts.

This person was the True Monarch of the Herd Raising Valley

"Shouldn't you explain yourself," said Retired Prince Ji Han, the current Dao Protector of Ji Song.

I have nothing to explain as there were no rules that stated that this method could not be use during this trial," responded the Herd Valley True Monarch, who then readied his demonic beasts for battle before continuing:

"I will not let anyone intervene in this trial," he declared boldly.

As a matter of fact, the people that remain there are only here to see the result of this trial as their Heaven Chosens have long been eliminated. They only stayed here just to spy on news or information about the final winner.

Despite the fact that Wang Wei never actually met them, a few more Heaven Chosens actually participated in this trial. However, the majority if not all of them were in fact eliminated by Fang Lijuan and Huang Min as these Heaven Chosens actually occupied territory near the two of them.

As for the rest of them, they were so weak that they were in fact eliminated by the few Supernatural Realm cultivators in the Warring Kingdom World.

As such, despite Ji Han's argument, no one around him actually cared about the result of the trial since they no longer have any stakes in it. So, after noticing this, Ji Han looked at Yan Chen and the Dao Protector of the Taiyi Profound Gate.

However, both of them were not as worked up as Ji Han. The reason that Feng Heng's Dao Protector was unbothered by the whole thing was because he reached the ultimate state of inactiveness in taoism, referred to as Taishuang Indifference--which was named after the Absolute Beginning Emperor.

To this True Monarch which was named Wu Ming, very few things can actually bother him. Even if Heaven and Earth were to be destroyed, he would see it as a natural cycle of the Dao, and accept it with peace of mind.

So, he did not care for the actions of the Herd Raising Valley's Heaven Chosen. If his own Dao Child found a way to survive this catastrophe, that would only prove that he was capable. If he failed, then his ability could only go so far.

No matter the result, in the grand scheme of things, the result only matters to the individual. If Feng Heng succeeds, he will be granted a brief moment of joy and happiness. If he fails, he can either wallow in his sorrow, or he can learn from the experience.

As for Yan Chen, the only reason he did not really care was because of his undying confidence in Wang Wei. During this entire trial, he watched how mature, intelligent, and far sided his young master was.

Throughout the trial, he always used the right method exactly when necessary. When he needs to use his overwhelming strength, he does so. When he needs to use his wisdom to solve a problem, he does so. His young master always used the optimal and most efficient method for any given situation.

What delighted Yan Chen the most was the fact his young master was not perfect, acknowledge such a fact. His young master can always admit when he makes a mistake and learns from it, he is always willing to learn anything new from anyone in order to improve himself.

A perfect example of that is the Martial Arts in this world. Many of the Heaven Chosen actually ignored or discard its significance or importance to this trial, but Wang Wei used it to its utmost advantage in the army and the citizens.

The only exception was the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that was only because of Ji Su. Despite this, they did not place as much emphasis on it as they should.

As a result of this, the Great Xia armies are way more powerful than other dynasties. The people are way more healthy and strong as they practiced martial arts specially designed for them.

In the end, Yan Chen also did not care about the current situation of the world. Although he did not like the methods of the Herd Raising Valley people, he will not intervene.

To him, this was a great opportunity to temper Wang Wei. As this was one of the original purposes of the trial, so why would he intervene?

Of course Yan Chen was still worried about something. He also noticed that something was wrong with Wang Wei's luck. He knew that this was probably due to his action of breaking the 13th Wall Barrier, however, Yan Chen still believed that his young master will find a solution to this problem.

After seeing that the remaining True Monarchs were not siding with him, he snorted coldly without mentioning the topic again.

Meanwhile, back in the Great Xia Dynasty, in the Hidden Master Plain, Wang Wei and his team were killing demonic beasts for days without stopping.

Countless resources were used to sustain such a prolonged battle, however, something happened that quickly changed the tide of the battle.

On top of the tall walls, Wang Wei looked in one particular direction of the wall. There, he saw the demonic beasts concentrated their attacks in a specific part of the wall. It seemed that they wanted to breach the walls there to escape.

'Finally caught you,' thought Wang Wei secretly to himself.

A few minutes afterwards, someone came to him and said, "Your majesty, everything is ready."

Wang Wei then nodded before saying, "Go ahead and begin."

Immediately afterwards, a few holes appeared in the Walls surrounding the plain, then water started to fill the entire plain like a basin. Afterwards, all the cultivators received the order to use water or rain based spells to fill the basin.

Wang Wei had a reason that he chose this specific plain to lead all the demonic beasts. Not far from here, there was a deep and long river. So, Wang Wei had many cultivators use Earth based spells to create many routes connecting the river to the plain.

His plan was very simple. Barricade all the demonic beasts in one place, then flood the place drowning all of them.

After a few hours, the water level had actually risen to a very high level. As a result many beasts were instantly drowned. As for the few that still had the ability to swim, they were killed by the army.

Meanwhile, Li Jun who was looking at the dying demonic beasts started thinking to himself.

'Is this the meaning of slaughter? Using or having the ability to kill large numbers of people with different methods. Since I cultivate the Dao of Slaughter, I should have the ability to kill anything and everything between Heaven and Earth, but is this enough? Is this my path?'

'The purest form of Slaughter Dao should be one that kills only for the sake of killing, a slaughter without any purpose. Unfortunately, such a pure form of slaughter makes it easy for a person to become mad or a killing machine without emotions or desire.'

'No, my Slaughter Dao is different. To be precise, it should have a purpose, a guidance, some goals to guide it.'

After thinking about this, Li Jun looked at Yan Liling first, but shook his head before looking at Wang Wei. Then, his eyes lit up.

'I once made a vow that in this life, I would fight for big brother Wang Wei til my last dying breaths. So, my Slaughter Dao should be to eliminate all the enemies in my big brother's Path of Emperor.'

'With my limited ability, I may not be able to accomplish such a task, but I can die trying. I will become the Slaughter Blade in big brother Wang Wei's hand.'

While Li Jun was thinking about these things, a giant red blade suddenly manifested between Heaven and Earth. The blade had countless souls wailing on it, then the sky around a few hundred meters also turned red, and an intense killing intent was released from the blade.

The many mortals that were around were forced to kneel on the ground. As a matter of fact, even a few weak willed cultivators started having illusions.

"Enlightenment?" muttered Wang Wei after seeing this, then his eyes lit up and he took out a few formation flags to set up an array around Li Jun. He did not want anyone or anything to interrupt his little brother during this rare moment of enlightenment.

A few seconds after Li Jun entered the state of enlightenment, someone suddenly appeared and whispered something in Wang Wei's here. He nodded before motioning for both Yan Liling and Wang Ju to protect Li Jun, then he flew straight into the sky without any explanations.
