Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-971

971 Marvelous Inheritance

Wang Wei took a step and appeared in another World Community. With a single thought, he scanned the entire community before frowning.

"These people really know how to hide." With his current strength, he could not discover the whereabouts of the Dao Burial Ground even though he knew they were in this position.

So, he no longer hesitated and activated the mark his wife left on their hideouts, immediately discovering a special dimension.

'Is this a Chaos Treasure?' thought Wang Wei as he saw the whereabouts of the Dao Burial Ground. 'It seems to be a peak Chaos Treasure, almost reaching the level of a Supreme Innate Treasure.'

Wang Wei's eyes lit up as he realized another benefit of dealing with this Forbidden Land. He took one step and entered this place. As he looked around, the first idea that popped into his head was that this place resembled his sect's Sealing Area. The second thought is this place has too much resentment and grievances.

'How many lives have these guys killed, and for what purpose?'

He always wondered about this Forbidden Land's purpose of slaughtering countless lives. It made no sense for them to do it for cultivation.

Although Great Emperors do not care about the karma of slaughtering mortals, the resentments and obsessions left in flesh and blood are a terrible tonic for cultivation.

No matter how many lives they kill, their cultivation will slowly increase. The best option would be to kill Immortal Tier powerhouses instead of these weak mortals.

'Do they have a special Source Technique that uses flesh and blood or negative karma?'

Wang Wei shook his head; he would soon find the answer, so there was no point in pondering their motives. He looked at the countless coffins sleeping in this place.

'With so many Immortal Venerables, Dao Ancestors, and Great Emperors, this place could have conquered the entire Myriad Emperor World with relative ease.'

Wang Wei was slightly surprised by the power of this place. According to the historical record, the Dao Burial Ground is responsible for the [Red Wave], a cruel event where a few Great Emperors come out from their hiding places and slaughter countless living beings.

The people who appeared each time hid their identity, but their strength was consistent. They do not attack any emperor lineage and would even refuse to fight any lineage that attacks them.

They only kill and gather flesh, blood, soul, and negative emotions.

If any factions tried to stop them, they would ignore any confrontation or temporarily seal their attacker before continuing their business.

Because of this cautious attitude, no one knew how powerful this place was.

Wang Wei looked at these coffins and no longer wasted time; he read their fate line to know why these people behaved in such a manner.

'So, that's how it is,' thought Wang Wei. All these people are criminals or outlaws from the upper dimension. They are people who were hunted down by certain forces in the upper dimension for a crime or because they offended someone.

Then, the leader of this place, the Heretic Emperor, came to see him and offered them a place to hide beside the Lawless Zone–the lower dimension. He even promised to help them gather World Source occasionally to help them cultivate.

These people agreed and, with some unknown means, the Heretic Emperor brought everyone to the lower dimension. Once in a while, they would release a Red Wave, drastically weakening the world and Heavenly Dao, allowing them to siphon World Source from the entire Myriad Emperor World.

'Things are getting interesting,' thought Wang Wei as he looked at the other space of this place. He then focused on these people, almost drooling.

Both the Dao Ancestors and Great Emperors are materials to refine Emperor Soul Pills and the Grand Dao Enlightening Pill. Meanwhile, he can also refine the Immortal Venerables into Immortal Qi Pill to increase cultivation or turn them into puppets for the sect.

Furthermore, he saw two Great Emperors who had entered the Infant Fiendgod Realm. Wang Wei can refine their flesh into a Great Power Pill to help temper his body.

Lastly, he might get some interesting techniques or knowledge from these people's souls, not to mention their artifacts and other accompanying resources.

'What a great loot,' thought Wang Wei, who waved his hand, immediately sealing these people's powers, rendering all of them helpless.

Furthermore, he did not dismiss the people in the other dimension.

'Sometimes, it's truly boring to be too powerful,' thought Wang Wei as he disappeared from this place.

"Who are you?" said the Heretic Emperor, his body unable to stop trembling.

"Huh? You actually found me," said Wang Wei.

"Your perception is truly unique."

"Wang Wei," said the Heretic Emperor, his green hair turning darker along with a twisted expression.

"First Child, what's going on?" said an old man before seeing Wang Wei's presence. His expression turned the same as his boss's, and his other brothers followed a similar script to his.

"How did you find this place?" asked the Heretic Emperor.

"My beautiful and lovely wife left a tracking mark on this place so I can get rid of all you little rats," said Wang Wei as he looked around. "I did not expect to have four of you. Well, I guess it doesn't matter how many of you are there."

Wang Wei looked at them before frowning,

"Something is wrong with you people."

The Heretic Emperor wanted to attack immediately. However, his sense of danger was going into overdrive. Every single atom of his body was telling him to run away; his very existence warned him of a terrifying danger.

A sparkle flashed in Wang Wei's eyes, "You are actually the same person. So, that's how it is. The flesh, blood, and negative emotion were not to weaken the world and gather World Source. No, it's a strange technique that allows you to assimilate someone else's [Existence]."

Wang Wei could not hide the shock on his face, "Flesh, blood, soul, memories, and emotions are the simplest manifestation of someone's [Existence], so it's the perfect medium for this technique.

"What genius created such a technique? Is it you?"

He looked at the Heretic Emperor. "No, based on your response, it's not you."

The Heretic Emperor clutched his hand tightly, almost destroying his own hand, but Wang Wei ignored him. He looked at the other people, "Four different Eternal Emperors, and each looked like you. The chances of that happening are too low, so their appearance is the result of the assimilation.

"Each of them looked like you at a different stage of your life: childhood, middle age, and old age, and you represented the youthful stage. However, based on that child's unstable aura, this technique should be flawed. Even though you used Eternal Emperors as the medium, without sufficient flesh and blood, his cultivation will actually decrease."

With a simple analysis, Wang Wei felt his understanding of [Existence] reached a different level. So, he ignored the tension in the room and continued his observation.

"So, what's the purpose of using this technique?"

Countless thoughts flashed in Wang Wei's mind.

"Is it to make your [Existence] more potent and make it more difficult to kill you? A path to true eternity? No, those are side effects, but not your real motive.

"If I had to guess, you're preparing to become an Everlasting Empyrean."

The Heretic Emperor tried everything to calm down, but his pupils could not help but dilate after hearing these words. He quickly controlled himself, but Wang Wei caught that small change.

"So, I was right. You were not confident in comprehending [True Self], so you used this method to deepen your understanding and

prepare for the future.

"Moreover, if you succeed, you will not be a regular Everlasting Empyrean but one of the very best. Furthermore, maybe you can also use it to become a Boundless Paragon. Ambitious, I see."

He smiled brilliantly, but to the others, he looked like he was scorning them.

"However, I still have my doubts. Is such a technique only useful for such a simple thing? My intuition is telling me this marvelous inheritance is wasted on you."

The Heretic Emperor exhaled deeply, calming himself down. He knew he was facing the greatest crisis of his life since then. As such, he needed to tread very cautiously to ensure he survived this ordeal.

No matter what, as long as he is alive, he has the opportunity to make a comeback.

"Wang Wei, there is no animosity between us, so there should be no need to fight and kill each other," said the Heretic Emperor.

"True, but I can't stand everything you've done, so you're going to die today."

"Don't be hypocritical. How many lives have your hands been stained with?"

"Many, but not nearly as much as you."

"You're a true devil," said the Heretic Emperor.

"Since when do people like you care about morality?"

"People often think this about me," said Wang Wei, shaking his head. "I have a moral bottom line, no matter how low it is. I just don't want any moral restraints on my mind and actions."

Wang Wei saw the sneer on these four's faces and shrugged, "I know you're secretly calling me a hypocrite, and I won't deny it. Luckily, I don't care what you think of me."
