Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-687-30041322

'The sect was wrong,' thought He Shiyi, the young master of the Spirit Genesis Sect. Under his invisible veil, he calmly watched Di Tian leave with a deep frown.

'The plan was fundamentally flawed since the Myriad Emperor World contained such a monster.' He shook his head with a wry smile. Even with his peak Immortal Venerable 6-Leaf strength, he knew he was nothing before that man. And even after he takes the next step in his cultivation, he will only reach the limit of 7-Leaf.

The sect sent him here to finish the geniuses of the Myriad Emperor World, but they were also worried about his safety, thus granting him some powerful hiding method.

'All this work for nothing,' complained He Shiyi. The sect mobilized its secret power to lure countless geniuses from other world communities and teleported them to this continent. Then, they used the broken Empyrean Artifact to bypass Empress Wu's sealing and destroying the Heavenly Dao of this continent.

After all these efforts and using innumerable resources, the result was pointless.

He Shiyi raised his head to look at the invisible formation and Karma River floating above the continent.

'There is also another monster.' The situation genuinely hit his pride after seeing how powerful these two were. So, after smiling wrily, he focused on the task at hand.

'Luckily, this monster is not from the Dao Opening Sect. But if the other is, the situation will become more complicated.' He pondered for a moment for his next step. He needed to confirm the identity of the person who set up the array. And if it is the Wang Wei they learned about from the Deception Trial, he needs to think about how to respond.

'If it is him, I need to contact the other and see if we can become allies. The Myriad Emperor World can have a resurgence, but the Dao Opening Sect cannot lead it.'

He Shiyi breathed deeply; he wished the sect had more information and influence in the Myriad Emperor World. However, after the situation with the Heaven-Devouring Emperor, the sect had to become low-key not to be discovered.

Of course, the main reason for this retreat was fear of the upper dimension.

He Shiyi disappeared as he decided to observe more before making a decision.

…

Di Tian teleported to a mountain range with the shadow. He could see quite a potent formation deep underneath one of the tallest mountains. However, it seems to be malfunctioning. So, he waved his hand to manifest a giant palm that eradicated the formation.

Soon afterward, a young man with red eyes flew out with a somber look as he gazed at Di Tian.

"A two-heart devil?" His eyes lit up: this was a species with naturally two extra lives. Once they die, they lose one of their hearts, meaning you have to kill them three times before killing them. However, as long as they survive, they can condense the two hearts again with enough resources.

"Who are you?"

"Gluttony."

"Are you interested in following me?"

"And be the slave of a human? I'd rather die."

"That's a shame," replied Di Tian. "Anyway, let's test your capabilities."

Di Tian flicked his finger, generating enough force to destroy countless Middle Thousand Worlds. Gluttony acted swiftly by opening his mouth and swallowing the force. Then, his aura suddenly increased.

"Swallowing Dao? Not, it seems different."

Despite easily overcoming this attack, Gluttony was not happy. Everything was proceeding relatively smoothly when a sudden change occurred between Heaven and Earth. Wrath sent a quick message for everybody to hide since their castle or home base was no longer safe.

However, Gluttony discovered that even the secret hideouts were unsafe since the hiding formations malfunctioned. Now, it seems he was unlucky, and someone detected him.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Di Tian punched continuously, increasing the force used each time in his attacks. However, Gluttony swallowed these attacks without problem; his expression, aura, or law fluctuation did not change.

[First Fist: Last Breath]

The power of death and destruction enveloped Gluttony, who only did one motion: opening his mouth.

"You can swallow, no, eat force, energy, and even concepts," commented Di Tian with a plain face. He already determined this devil practiced a unique Eating Dao that involved Devouring Dao and many others. Furthermore, after his bombardments, the latter's straight rose from 2-Leaf to 5 Leaf, albeit it seems to be temporary.

"Do you have a limit? Let's see," said Di Tian before attacking again. Meanwhile, Gluttony was frustrated and angered. He knew his increase in strength was pointless.

The opponent actively allowed him to eat to increase his strength, which shows how much he looked down on his abilities. Unfortunately, he could not do much.

"Your power limit is 7-Leaf–even if the strength is not permanent. However, you have no limit on the things you can devour. As long as you continue to eat, you can convert your food into stored energy which grants you infinite stamina."

Di Tian nodded in satisfaction. Although Gluttony had a strength limit, his infinite stamina could be used in a battle to outlast an opponent that was closed in strength. However, he still needs to eat enough to reach a certain strength level since his opponent will not allow him to swallow their attacks.

Di Tian calmly raised his hand as a black and white sphere appeared in his palm: [Death to Eating].

Gluttony's face changed as he saw the sphere flying toward him; his instinct told him never to swallow that thing. Unfortunately, he was too slow to react or evade.

[Second Stomach]

A mouth phantom appeared before him and swallowed the attack. However, the power was not directed to his main stomach, where he could swallow and eat everything. No, he created a second dimension or small world to process this attack.

And as expected, the small world was instantly annihilated by the black sphere.

"Great intuition and battle experience," commented Di Tian. "Adding a unique Dao, you're the second one."

As soon as Gluttony heard these words, he went on the offensive. He opened his mouth and made a chewing motion.

Crunch!

A dozen of the mountains behind Di Tian disappeared, while a few looked like someone had taken a bite out of them. Meanwhile, Di Tian–who was intact with not even a scratch on his clothes–did not care for his prey's pointless struggle. Before Gluttony could move or even process the situation, Di Tian was oddly standing in front of him.

He raised his hand to hold the devil by the throat, rendering him completely useless. A black and white character appeared on Gluttony's forehead, sealing all his strength and powers.

Swish!

A brilliant sword slash arrived from the distance. It contained the intent to eradicate Heaven; the sword gave the vibe as if it had an eternal grudge against Heaven and Earth.

Sadly, it faded into nonexistence before it could even touch Di Tian. He looked in the direction of the attack and saw a young woman with pink hair holding her sword. Accompanying her were two other devils.

"Wrath, Pride, Greed, save me."

Di Tian calmly placed Gluttony into his space ring.

"More talents," he commented, focusing on Wrath. "You'll be an even better general."

He did not gather these generals only to face Wang Wei–even though it started this way. Since his imprisonment, he has been thinking about his future, about what to do after reviving Qiao Ning. For most of his life, he never bothered to think beyond the revival of Ning'er due to one of his deepest fears.

So, he forced himself to only worry about the present, focusing on the task at hand.

However, his encounter with Nine Pillar made him see the hope of reviving his Ning'er, the one he knew and loved. So, now, he wanted to plan for the future. Although there was a low probability of finding the Limit Breaker, there were other methods he could use to increase his chance.

After reaching higher realms of cultivation, for example, the realm of his sons, he has a higher chance of finding it. Another method is to have a powerful faction to help him search.

After making these plans, he realized how terrible the loss of the Sleepers was. He could spread them to the lower dimension to search for the Limit Breaker if they were as powerful. Di Tian knew he would not find it there, but it was worth trying–no matter how small the odds.

Furthermore, once they reached such a scale, he would have a foundation to set up a faction in the upper dimension after proving the Dao. After coming to this realization, his hatred for Wang Wei increased significantly.

"Return, Gluttony," said Wrath with a very calm tone and demeanor despite the current situation.

"Come get him," replied Di Tian, thinking having these devil talents under his control would greatly benefit his plan. Wrath gave the other three a look before they entered the battle mode.

'Their loyalty to their comrade will make them great underlings,' thought Di Tian, who admired these people's willingness to sacrifice their selves. Nevertheless, he would not show any mercy; he would crush their spirit to make it easier to subdue.
