Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-362

After killing Liu Meixiu, Wang Wei felt at peace. His state of mind did not suddenly undergo any changes, after all, he has gotten used to the fact that death is a normal thing in the world of cultivation.

You could say that he has become desensitized to death. And after understanding some power of fate, he knew that it was the fate of many mortals to die at the hands of cultivators.

Despite all of this, he was still a little bothered by what happened in the Qi Luck Trial. As such, he had long planned to kill Liu Meixiu, no matter what.

So, as he watched her body fall to the ground and her soul destroyed, he felt relieved, calm, or at peace.

Wang Wei sighed lightly. He raised his hand to burn her body, then, he suddenly remembered the Fiendgod 12 Revolution that he just received and an idea popped in his head.

So, he immediately sealed the pieces of her soul that were about to disappear and put the body away.

"You're not even going to allow us to bury her?" asked one of the True Monarchs from the Herd Raising Valley.

"How many of the people she killed did not have the opportunity to be buried because they were swallowed whole by her beasts?" replied Wang Wei.

"Are you going to use their lives to justify your actions?" said the True Monarch.

"You are correct; I do not need to justify myself. Her body will benefit me so I took it. She will become the nourishment for my Path of Emperor."

The True Monarch was momentarily silent before adding: "There is a saying: 'One thought to become Buddha, one thought to become the Devil.' It seems to me that Sacred Son Wang Wei has reached such a state of mind, however, you should be careful not to become the next Mo Zun."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes at this person. Mo Zun was the name of the Heaven Devouring Emperor, who wanted to swallow the world after becoming an Eternal Emperor.

This guy's words may seem like just a warning or words spoken to save face, but Wang Wei could understand his insinuation. He was threatening to spread rumors that he was the next Mo Zun and rally the people of the world to kill him.

After all, no one wants another crazy and powerful Eternal Emperor to be born in this world.

After figuring this out, Wang Wei laughed out loud. This kind of threat might work for ordinary people with no background. But who was he?

The Sacred Son of the most powerful sect in the world. The son of the Sect Master, the heir to two Emperor Lineages. Who dare to easily mess with him.

"Your little faction is already struggling against the Ji family. What do you think will happen if my Dao Opening Sect intervened in your conflict and support the Ji Clan? How long do you people think you can last?"

Wang Wei replied with a threat of his own. And as soon he said these words, the faces of the other True Monarchs became very ugly to look at.

Now that their dreams and goals at cultivating a Great Emperor were dead, their futures looked bleak. And once they returned to the sect, they will be further suppressed by the Ji family.

So, after quickly communicating with one another, they decided to leave. They rushed out of the Secret Realm while always on guard against the people of the Dao Opening Sect.

"Young Master, why don't we take this opportunity to kill these people?" asked Yan Chen.

"This is not the time nor the place," replied Wang Wei calmly. "If my real body was here, I could team up with all of you to kill all of them. However, with my current strength, it will take too much time to kill any of the Supreme Realms. And we cannot waste any more time."

Yan Chen nodded his head in response. This is how he felt as well, but he wanted to see whether the recent failures about his Primordial Spirit would affect him.

So, he was relieved.

"Alright, go set up the formation to prevent other people from entering," said Wang Wei.

Truth be told, he was a little disappointed with the reaction of these people as he wanted a hearty battle. After years of planning, using countless resources, their dreams were shattered like that but their response was still so calculated.

None of them acted out of pure emotions and attacked him. And Wang Wei knew that it was not because of his background, but more to do with the fact that these people feared death.

After living for so long, as time passed and they become older, they began to fear death and act more cautious when doing things. And this is not just a problem for the people of the Herd Raising Valley.

He has noticed this fact amount some of the True Monarchs in his sect as well.

Wang Wei quickly removed these thoughts from his head and quickly helped them set up the formation to block the other people from coming. Although the formation will most likely break once these people work together, it can still buy him enough time to get the real fortunate encounter inside.

Once everything was done, Wang Wei rushed to the core. On his way, he faced many Puppets with dragon horns. He immediately sealed these puppets to study later on as he discovered that the method of refinement was unknown to him.

So, Wang Wei's path forward was easier than expected. He discovered that the puppets seemed weaker than anticipated; it was as if the energy required for them to function was missing.

The same was applied for the formation in his way. All of them seemed drastically weakened. So, after remembering them to study later, he immediately used brute force to break them.

Finally, he reached the core of this secret realm and saw what was inside. It was the bones of a snake-like creature with two horns.

"Is this a Dragon Remain?"

Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to check the surroundings and ensure that there were no traps or anything else. Then, he finally approached the creature to inspect.

The skin or scale was already gone. As such, only by the shape of the bones and the powerful aura that remained could he tell that this was a dragon.

The aura was not only suppressive but also displayed a form of nobleness; it was as if this creature was the favored son of Heaven and Erath. As if it was born noble and all living creatures should respect it.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would not be able to even approach these remains simply by the aura it revealed.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was intrigued as he observed the dragon bones. In his past life, dragons were common creatures in most novels. Always associated with strength, power, and prestige.

Many protagonists will at some power have a dragon to look cool, marry the princess of the Dragon Clan, or absorbed dragon bloodline into their bodies to increase their strength or talent.

Unfortunately for Wang Wei, the world he lived in has no dragons; they have been gone for billions of years. And from the pieces of information he gathered from Wu Hong, he knew that all Innate Lifeforms like Dragons and Phoenixes have left the lower dimension and ascended.

So, if he ever wanted to meet a real one, he would have to wait to become an Emperor and ascend as well. As such, he was a little excited after seeing the dragon for the first time–even if it was just the bones.

Then, he frowned once his investigation was over.

"Most of the power of the dragon bone is lost because with the passage of time, with the only exception being the spine."

He then touched the bones.

"The hardness is enough for even the lamest Weapon Refiner to make a Quasi-Emperor Artifact. And in the hands of an Emperor, they could probably make an Emperor Artifact.

"As for me, the best way to use this bone is to cultivate the [Fiendgod Body 12 Revolutions]. With this bone, I could probably quickly cultivate the first few revolutions.

"No, it would be better to use it to cultivate the last 3 revolutions. Maybe I will have some surprise gain."

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction and prepared to place the dragon bone inside his space ring. However, right before he succeeded, he felt a slight void fluctuation.

Immediately, he acted out of instinct and took out a Supreme Tier Void Blocking Talisman and activated it. The talisman paper rushed in the direction of the void tremor, and a powerful wave came from it, trying to block whatever was coming through.

Regrettably, it was slightly too late.

A beautiful woman with a flame design on her forehead walked out from the void.
