Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-293

Inside the Battle Tower, Wang Wei was battling the clone of the Battle Maniac Emperor. However, he was struggling in this fight; the reason being that this clone had a cultivation level of the Supreme Realm.

Wang Wei clenched his fist, a golden light flashed through his fist, then he punched forward.

Bang!

Everything shook as if mother nature had lost her patience and decided to eradicate mankind for their atrocities. The mere shockwave of his fist was enough to destroy a Middle Thousand World and all its trillion habitants.

Unfortunately, his attack had little effect. The Dharma Body behind the Battle Maniac Emperor casually waved his hand and blocked the attack, then punched Wang Wei himself.

Without hesitation, Wang Wei's Innate Shield--which had turned golden in color--surrounded him to block the attack. That single punch instantly annihilated the ground that Wang Wei was standing on. As such, he found himself and the clone fighting in the void.

Although he blocked that attack, he was not intact. The shockwave was enough to shake his organs. Additionally, he could feel the Fighting Law that the Battle Maniac cultivated taking effect.

Over time, his fighting ability and instinct began to decrease, while the opposite was true for his opponent. With each second, the latter grew more and more powerful. His attacks became sharper, his battle intuition drastically increased as he could always pinpoint the weakness of all of Wang Wei's attacks.

Knowing that losing the battle was inevitable at this rate, he decided to be more serious. Then, a vision appeared behind Wang Wei.

Visions can increase a cultivator's battle strength by a few folds. Usually, an increase between 2 times to 9 times the increase. However, Wang Wei's vision gave him an 18-fold increase.

After showing his vision, Wang Wei started to use the power of Heaven and Earth from the Heaven Stage in the Divine Body Realm.

The 9 Heavens of this stage have the same function as the visions: an increase in battle strength.

The 1st Heaven is equal to a 9 fold increase in strength, the 2nd Heaven is 18-fold, the 3rd Heaven-27 fold. To the 9th Heaven which grants cultivators an 81-fold increase in strength. The minimum requirement for all cultivators to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm is to reach the 4th Heaven.

For Heaven Chosens like Lin Fan, their visions gave them a 9-fold increase in strength, and when they reach the 9th Heaven Stage, the vision will stack up, granting them a maximum of 90-fold increase.

As for Wang Wei, his Vision should have provided him a 99-fold increase, but because of how unique his Earth Stage was and how powerful his spirit is, he went beyond the 9th Heaven. According to his calculation, he currently has an increase of 270-fold.

So, after using the Power of Heaven and Earth to increase his strength, adding to that his fleshly body that was now on par with True Monarchs, Wang Wei was able to fight with the clone of the Battle Maniac Emperor.

In the end, he still lost. After all, the clone had all the abilities of the Emperor when he was in that realm, and Wang Wei is still in the Divine Body Realm. Nevertheless, he still fought for three days nonstop before being defeated.

Then, Wang Wei went to challenge his father again. This time, he survived until the 36th sword.

After gaining control of his strength, he went back to retreat.

Sitting in the lotus position, Wang Wei looked inward to his Divine Sea. He controlled the Ancient Lamp with the Good Fortune Flame to enter his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately afterward, he placed the power of Heaven and Earth inside the Lamp to fuel the Good Fortunate Flame. The 13-colored flame instantly rose in intensity, then Wang Wei guided the flame to his purple soul.

Normally, the Good Fortune Flame would burn the soul to remove the impurities, then slowly transform it into a Primordial Spirit, thus allowing him to enter the next stage of cultivation.

Unfortunately for Wang Wei, nothing happened. No matter how much he tried to burn his soul, it was not affected in the least bit.

After the 13th attempt, he vomited a mouthful of blood because of backlash.

"This is the 13th failure," muttered Wang Wei. "It seems that with how powerful my soul is, ordinary methods will not allow me to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm."

After that, he took a healing pill before leaving his seclusion. As soon as he came out, he saw Wu Hong was waiting for him; she immediately noticed his slightly pale complexion.

More importantly, she felt like he was different from before; she felt like the two of them suddenly become closer, like he truly accepted her

"Failed?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"How do you feel?"

"Just a little annoyed, that's all," replied Wang Wei as he smiled, then hugged her.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Well, luckily for me, you warned me about this a few hundred years ago. So, I did make some preparations, but I do not know how effective it will be."

"What will you do if you are forever unable to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm?"

"Worst case scenario, I will abandon the Origin System, travel to other World Communities to find a system that fits me the best. Or, I just create one of my own, or I just concentrate on Body Refining. I still have a lot of options."

"It's good that you have other options. Let me ask you, why do I feel like you're different?"

Wang Wei then explained to her the Chakra System that he used and how it affected his mind and spirit; he even told her about the little mistrust he had about her. Wu Hong was not surprised about this fact as she knew him quite well.

"This system seems to have some origin with Buddhism. It's quite interesting, and it has a lot of potentials." After saying that, she handed him a piece of paper.

"What's this?"

"Wang Ju came by to hand over information regarding important events that happened in the past 500 years."

Wang Wei scanned the paper, and only took notice of a few things:

One was Sun Jiaolong's capture of a large territory of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. The second was that The Fate Guards have theorized that something weird or shady happened inside the Great Zhou, however, they could not gather more information because of how tight security has been lately in Great Zhou.

The third was the fact that Jian Wushuang seemed to be traveling around the world, challenging different kinds of swordsmen.

The fourth was the fact that Liu Meixiu was spotted in the Northern Black Tortoise Continent.

Lastly, the Loose Cultivator Alliance just endorsed someone from the Lower Realm as their Heaven Chosens in this generation with an Identity Token. This person's name is Huang Yuan.

As for the other people, all of them seem to focus on cultivating and have not shown up in the past few hundred years.

After reading all this news, Wang Wei did not care as he had much better things to worry about. Currently, the majority of these people have just entered the Earth Stage of the Divine Body Realm, while he's about to enter the Primordial Spirit.

However, his Paragon-quality soul is preventing him from doing so, he has to focus on dealing with this problem.

"One last thing," said Wu Hong. "Grandma sent you some Longxue tea."

"Really? In that case, let's go drink some while I talk to her."

Later that day, Wang Wei and Wu Hong had a meeting with the upper echelons of the sect.

"So, you failed?" asked his grandfather.

"Yes."

"Although we expected this, it's still troublesome," added Wang Tian. "Luckily, we have prepared beforehand the things you asked for."

After that, he led everyone to a secret realm. Inside, a few million people were sitting cross-legged. The odd thing about these people was the fact that they were all in the Supernatural Realm, and they had a similar aura to Wang Wei.

"A million Supernatural Realm cultivators that cultivated your Transcending Fate Sutra. With countless resources, the sect was able to cultivate them so quickly," said Wang Tian.

Looking at these people, Wang Wei said: "Hopefully, this plan works, otherwise, I will have to go back to the drawing board.

"Alright, we will begin a month from now."
