Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-392

By looking at the strings connected to the River of Destiny, Di Tian could guess that he was using the power of fate to guide his reaction speed. This river contained the lives of all people that have existed since the creation of the Heavenly Abode World.

From ancient to modern times, the number of people is simply uncalculable given how short mortals' lives are.

And having these people dictate Wang Wei's reaction is like having an infinite amount of people looking out and reacting for him, thus drastically increasing his reaction time.

The only limit to such power is how much his body can bear.

Di Tian's eyes showed a slight smirk. So what if his opponent could barely react in time with his attack? This did not change the vast difference in their strength or prowess.

He rushed towards his opponent and punched. The two fists clashed together, and Wang Wei felt a strange force entering his body; this was not physical force but something else.

And before he could react, he found that his Primordial Spirit was forcibly detached from his body. Thousand of chains appeared trying to push it back inside but it was no use.

Then, Di Tian made three more punches and one kick. The previous one had annihilated Wang Wei's right hand, but the other three destroys his remaining arm and two legs. And in that same instance, a black wheel appeared on top of his Primordial Spirit and began to grind it into dust.

Millions of his spirit particles were instantly annihilated. Any more time, Wang Wei knew that his soul would be grounded into dust and he would be killed. So, he dispersed them into their spirit particles shape to return and regrow from the cells in his body.

Meanwhile, a string appeared on Wang Wei's torso who was sent flying away. The string was attached to Di Tian, trying to pull something out of him; it was trying to pull his soul, lifespan, and even his past–it was pulling his destiny.

However, with a calm look on his face, he made his hand into a speak shape and easily cut off that string, resulting in Wang Wei throwing up a mouthful of blood because of the backlash.

While mobilizing his Life and Death Wheel Talent to rapidly heal his body, numerous strings appeared behind Wang Wei forming a spider web and catching his body and preventing it from rushing from one realm to another.

And in that split second after his body regenerated itself, he stood on the web made of strings, used it as a bouncing plate to launch himself forward as he turned into a grey rainbow.

In front of Di Tian, he punched: World Breaking Fist.

The vibration came from his skin, muscles, bones, organs, tissues, cells, and even the hundred million spirit particles of his Primordial Spirit. On top of that, he even controlled many of the strings that made the River of Fate to also vibrate, thus bringing this attack to an even higher level.

This current attack is the perfect combination of Wang Wei's fleshly body and his cultivation level. He was confident that only a few Quasi-Emperor in the Myriad Emperor World could survive this attack.

After he made that punch, in just an instant, five Realms of the Heavenly Abode Realm–larger than any mortal universes–were instantly destroyed. The vibration destroyed all matter at a quantum level. This attack did not even spare the concept that existed in these realms as they were also annihilated.

Boom!

The punch hit Di Tian's body, creating a dust cloud around him. Not even a few seconds later, a breeze passed by to remove the cloud, showing his body.

He was perfectly intact, not even his clothes were scratched. His cold and indifferent eyes looked at Wang Wei calmly before raising his hand. A cloud of black smoke appeared on his hand as he punched.

Immediately, a terrifying death threat overcame Wang Wei. His intuition was constantly warning that he was going to die, that no matter what he did, his only result was absolute death.

For the first time in a very long time, the emotion of fear suddenly flooded his mind trying to overwhelm him. He knew that he could not survive this attack.

Nevertheless, he still used his powerful Will to repress his fear as he knew that this was not the time for this. He activated his Proving Dao Artifact to turn into a large mirror.

Then, he imbued it with the Swallowing Power from the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture to absorb the power of that attack. Finally, he used a string to cut off one of his fingers, open a small hole in the space, and sent that finger to an Abode in another realm.

All of these actions took place in less than nanoseconds.

After Di Tian's punch hit Wang Wei's body, a black sphere enveloped it and the mirror for a moment before disappearing. Then, his body began to rot and decay like it was dead for dozens of years.

In just a few seconds, only his bones were left, and soon, they also dissipated. The same fate occurred to the mirror. It rusted before turning into millions of particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Di Tian frowned after seeing this as he knew that the latter was not killed. He searched for Wang Wei's whereabouts but a strange power seemed to block his search.

"The Heavenly Dao of this world?" He understood that as the only Almighty God of this world, Wang Wei had some control over Heavenly Dao. However, Di Tian did not care as the delay was only for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, in the Death Realm, Wang Wei's small finger suddenly appeared inside one of the Heavenly Abodes. The finger did not waste time as it began to absorb everything around it.

The few remaining Gods who were trembling because their worlds were falling apart, the believers that lived in the abode, all of them turned into a blood river that was absorbed by the finger.

Their souls, lifespan, and blood energy were instantly absorbed by the finger to regrow Wang Wei's body. Previously, many of the abodes were connected together to facilitate easier management.

So, in this catastrophe, all the Gods and believers of the Death Realm were killed. And after Wang Wei regrew his body, he did not stop as he also absorb the entire abode itself as it could be considered a small world.

Over the years, although Wang Wei never used his Life and Death Wheel Innate Talent because he did not have to, he still trained it. He ensure that it could absorb any kind of energy or power–not just spiritual power–to heal him.

And today, this ability became useful.

Thinking of that last attack, Wang Wei was truly scared as he really came close to dying. He has not entered the [One Drop Blood Regenerating Realm], but he was very close.

So, at the last minute, he thought of this plan to survive.

After thinking about the previous situation, a smile appeared on his face; he was excited. His path of cultivation has been too smooth so he never faced such a powerful foe; no, such an overwhelming one.

He was used to bullying his opponent. It's not like he never fought people who were more powerful than him. His father and Wu Hong often placed him in his place when he gets too arrogant,

However, these people never truly try to kill him unlike now. So, this is the first real-life and death battle he had ever since the Spirit Road Trial.

In the few seconds that Wang Wei used Heavenly Dao to buy him some time, he recovered his body and looked at Di Tian who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I suspected it before but on the last attack, I confirmed my suspicions," said Wang Wei. "You cultivated the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]."

He could feel that Di Tian's fleshly body was similar to his. Additionally, he could feel the Innate Qi inside as well. Most likely, Di Tian used even more Innate Materials to refine his body than him.

And based on what he knew about the latter's Sleepers, it is possible to infiltrate the sect and acquire the scripture--just as he did to the Origin Pill Dao Sect.

"You're correct," replied Di Tian. "Of all the body refinement techniques that I have seen, it is quite unique because of its versatility. It's a shame that its glory is built on lies."

"What do you mean?"

"The Ancient Desolate Emperor never used this technique to fight Seven Lotus Emperor in the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

Wang Wei frowned after hearing this; he always had a feeling that there were some secrets to this scripture. After all, he is closed to completely finishing cultivating it, and from what he knew, he did not feel that he would be able to fight a Great Emperor once he was done.

"So, what exactly happened?" he asked.

"Once Wang Chong created the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scipture], he was lucky enough to discover the beating heart of a Primordial God from the Null Era and absorbed it.

"Then, he challenged the Seven Lotus Emperor again, and he was still easily defeated–even though the latter was nothing but a third-class Great Emperor. The gap between these two realms–Quasi-Emperor and Great Emperor– is simply unsurpassable."

Wang Wei suddenly remembered one day when his grandfather was drunk, then sneered while saying the Quasi-Emperor Realm was the biggest joke in the universe.

At first, Wang Wei asked him once he was sober but he did not get an answer under the excuse that his cultivation was too weak. That was a long time ago but Wang Wei did not bring up this subject again.

However, recently, after getting access to the Secret Archive, he slightly understood the meaning behind this. And now, Di Tian was also basically saying the same thing.

"If what you said is true, why did the Seven Lotus Emperor cut off the Karma for my ancestor? And why did he lie about this?" asked Wang Wei.

One of the reasons that this scripture is so famous is because of the rumors that if one cultivates to a sufficient height, a Quasi-Emperor will have the power of a Great Emperor.

"The Seven Lotus Emperor was not reconciled with how weak he was as an Emperor, so he made a deal with Wang Chong. He would cut off his karma for him and even acknowledge the rumors of the scripture, in exchange, he wanted some of the blood from the Primordial God to further his strength.

"As for the reason the rumors were spread, the answer is simple. At that time, the Dao Opening Sect was nothing but a little sect with two Great emperors–even if they were Eternal Emperors.

"Wang Chong wanted to use this rumor to deter future Emperors, making them think that the sect had secretly cultivated many Quasi-Emperors with the power to fight Great Emperors. And this method did succeed."

Wang Wei understood the plan of the Ancient Desolate Emperor. However, he did not think that things were that simple. Most likely, this scripture might have something more to it that he does not yet know.

"You should have healed by now?" said Di Tian, still with his indifferent and cold eyes.

"Thank you for giving me the time," replied Wang Wei as he began to transform; he was prepared to enter his most powerful state.
