Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-503

"What are you going to do next?" asked Wu Hong.

"I have to undergo my Void Shattering Realm tribulation. Then, it's time I meet the owner of the Unseen Cube."

"Then get to it."

"Huh, what about all the things you promised me?"

"We'll take our time; otherwise, you'll injure your kidney."

"Fine," said Wang Wei with annoyance–especially since he knew she was correct. So, he dressed up before leaving the manor. He saw Wang Ju waiting outside.

"How did it go?"

"As you expected, young master. After your arrival, a few of the disciples and Elders behaved abnormally. After capturing and interrogating them, we discover they were members of the Sleepers."

"Were they also reincarnated?"

"No. They seemed to be people selected from this generation. Their background and everything appeared normal on the surface. If they did not explode their souls when we try to search it, we would not have known they were parts of the Sleepers."

Wang Wei pondered briefly. He deduced that Di Tian would be interested in the state of his trial. So, he used his return to draw out some of the Sleepers' members that may have escaped his previous clean-up. It's a shame these guys are incredibly loyal and would detonate their souls not to reveal any information.

"Alright, how is Project Deep Infiltration?"

"Things are proceeding according to plans. We have infiltrated most of the sects in the Myriad Emperor World using the [Fate Stealing Technique]. Some of our members have gained access to the sect's Emperor Scripture in some weak Emperor Lineages.

"As for the more powerful one, we are taking our time."

"Remember always to be cautious and take your time," replied Wang Wei. "What about the infiltration of the Sea Race?"

"Things are even slower there, but there is still some progress."

"Contact Xiao Songxi and see if you can use his help to accelerate the progress."

"Would he be willing to help?" asked Wang Ju.

"He doesn't have to do it voluntarily," replied Wang Wei, to which Wang Ju nodded to display her understanding.

"You're still in the Primordial Spirit Realm?"

"Young master, I…."

"I'm not blaming you," said Wang Wei before waving his hand and manifesting a black gem.

"This is a Quasi-Emperor Tier Shadow Crystal I recently got. With it, you should be able to enter the Void Shattering Realm quickly. So, find someone to temporarily take your place so you can enter a seclusion retreat."

Wang Ju bowed, "Thank you, young master."

"Since you're my person, I won't mistreat you. I will even find an Innate Spiritual treasure with Shadow properties for you."

Wang Ju opened her mouth to reject, but thinking about the young master's words, she only thanked him in advance.

"One last thing, keep an eye on Mu Xingyun–especially on what type of Law she cultivates."

"Is there a reason?"

"The Dao of Devour is an Outlaw Dao, yet she is not an Outlaw. I doubt her Acquired Physique is enough to shield her from the trial, so I must know why."

After the trial, Wang Wei taught Wang Ju about Outlaws, wanting her to gather more information on the topic if possible.

"Do you think she wants to use the same tactic as Emperor Nine Suns?"

"Hopefully, things are as simple as this," replied Wang Wei with a slightly serious tone.

"In that case, I'll have a special agent watch her."

Wang Wei nodded before dismissing her. Then, he flew toward the sect's exit. Midway through his flight, someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

"Where are you going?" asked Yu Yan.

"I'm going to find a barren place to pass my tribulation."

"Why don't you use the sect's Tribulation Mountain?"

"I have a feeling my tribulation will be too big. Plus, I have to go see someone afterward."

Yu Yan paused, not knowing what to say. Wang Wei held her before saying:

"You don't have to worry. I'll be back in perfect shape."

A few seconds later, Yu Yan sighed before caressing his face.

"Contact me if something happens."

"I promise."

Yu Yan nodded before flying away. And as Wang Wei watched his mother fly away, he shook his head slightly before flying away. Outside the sect's protection array, he opened a tear in space to teleport to a barren Domain with nothing but sand in sight for miles.

Then, he deactivated the protection of the Unseen Cube. Immediately, the clouds a few million miles in diameter changed. They turned dark and gloomy, with flames and lightning flashing everywhere.

Wang Wei controlled the Law Seed next to his Law Alter to fly in the clouds before closing his eyes. A bright orange flame came from the clouds, trying to destroy the Law Seed. However, a mysterious aura emanated from it as protection.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei felt it became easier to understand the Laws of Heaven and Earth. When it comes to passing the Void Shattering Realm Tribulations, there are two ways to pass.

There is the orthodox way, which is the method Wang Wei used, and the unorthodox way that requires cultivators to use artifacts, spells, or techniques to defend against the Heavenly Tribulation.

The orthodox ways allowed cultivators to deepen their understanding of the Laws, but they had to have a deep foundation; otherwise, the tribulation would destroy their Law Seed. The same benefit does not apply to the unorthodox method.

After the orange flame tried to no avail to destroy Wang Wei's Law Seed, it dispersed after a few minutes. Then, a green wind descended from Heaven to have its try. Unfortunately, it was useless.

Following this, it was red lightning; it bombarded the seed for at least an hour before it stopped. And during the entire process, Wang Wei did not move an inch.

Once the lightning stopped, the tribulation should have ended, but it did not. So, Wang Wei opened his eyes. His gaze pierced the clouds to see an army of demonic beasts made out of tribulation thunders.

He instantly appeared in front of his Law Seed. His eyes twinkled as he saw this Tribulation Army. He could feel as long as he defeated these things, his understanding would further increase.

So, he sat cross-legged in the air, closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and inhaled. His mouth seemed to have created an endless black hole as he swallowed these creatures without stopping.

And to his surprise, this process lasted for 2 hours; that's how many of them there were. However, he was not done yet.

A yellow figure appeared in the clouds. The figure only had a humanoid shape and nothing else.

"Dusk of the Gods," said the yellow figure, then the surroundings turned pitch black for a few seconds before returning to normal. Wang Wei–who activated his innate shield–was perfectly fine.

However, he could sense that this attack destroyed all matter or energy in the surrounding.

"An imprint of The Dusk Emperor?" he muttered as he analyzed the situation. He remembered reading about a rare form of tribulations where cultivators must fight imprints of past Emperors.

It seems he was currently undergoing this type of tribulation.

"Dusk of Myriad Worlds," said the yellow figure, and with this move, the entire Domain they were in began to shake. A black light came from the figure's hand, and from that light, Wang Wei sensed a power that could destroy hundreds of Middle Thousand Worlds.

Wang Wei raised his hand to catch the black light before crushing it easily. He shook his head before saying: "If it was the real you, you could give me a little challenge."

After saying that, he flicked his finger to create a shockwave so fast that the yellow figure could react in time. So, a hole appeared on its chest, and it slowly began to disperse.

Oddly, it did not disperse. Instead, the yellow figure morphed into an extremely beautiful and charming lad dressed in a blue robe.

Looking at the person's face, Wang Wei said: "The Dusk Emperor? I thought you were a man."

"I can be when I feel like it," they replied with a smile.

"So, to what do I owe this visit?"

"You don't seem surprised?"

"Well, this is not the first time I have met one of you almighty beings."

"Given how odd you are, it's understandable."

Wang Wei shrugged his shoulder, asking again: "What can I do for you?"

"Nothing. I just had a feeling to come here, so I came to check it out."

The Dusk Emperor looked up and down at him. "You said you wanted a challenge?"

"Of course," said Wang Wei with fighting intent.

"Alright, let's see if you can defend against this attack: [Dusk of All Devils]."

Before Wang Wei could react, a black sphere enveloped him for a few seconds before disappearing. And after reappearing, some of his skin was gone before regenerating in an instant.

"Oh, what a horrifying fleshly body," muttered the Dusk Emperor.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had a pondering look on his face.

"An attack specially made for True Devils like me. No, there is something more. This is not the power of Dusk but the Dao of Destruction. Didn't you abandon this Dao to pass the Outlaw Trial?"

"I did. But the Dao of Destruction was my pursuit, so I found a way to change my main Dao later on."

"Is that possible?"

"It is–albeit extremely difficult."

"I see."

"Well, I have to go."

"So soon? I was hoping to talk about the Dao with you."

"It's unfortunate that I cannot stay here for long. My existence is very threatening to a few cockroaches, and they will not sleep well and bother me if they knew I sent my Will here."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing this, but he did not ask any further questions. The Dusk Emperor smiled before waving her hand and condensing a black seed.

"This is some of my comprehension of the Destruction Dao. As a fellow who cultivates one of the Hidden Supreme Daos, maybe you can learn from it."

Wang Wei looked at the seed and said, "I don't like to owe people Karma."

The Dusk Emperor waved his hand to eliminate the Karma on the seed before disappearing. Then, Wang Wei accepted her gift without hesitation.
