Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

“Of course not,” replied the First Child. He observed the intruder’s behavior, and the conclusion is the latter’s acting was too subpar for an old monster like himself. Moreover, although the latter addressed as him your excellency, the First Child could sense the disdain and pride hidden by Parasyte.

“Why not?” asked the Third Child. He thought having some powerful backers in the upper dimension was not that bad of an idea.

“Our actions have already angered so many people in the upper dimension that I cannot imagine how many people are waiting for my appearance to kill me,” said the First Child, who understood his situation quite well. So, he will leave the Eternal Ascension World as soon as he accomplishes his plans and enters Primordial Chaos.”

“The situation of these people is not that much different than us. Their fate will be terrible once their reigns end and all the other Paragons come back.”

The First Child did not know why these Paragons disappeared. However, this did not change his analysis.

“So, these people are a sinking boat,” said the Second Child. “Our death will come sooner If we associate with them.”

“Exactly.”

“So, why did you not directly reject him?”

“I don’t know what methods he can use, so I need to buy us time to run away.”

Three days later, Parasyte returned to this place and discovered the Dao Burial Ground; he immediately knew the Heretic Emperor had played him. His eyes turned red with anger, but he had to swallow this breath.

‘Heretic, you coward rate. I’ll make you pay one day.’

Parasyte returned to a calm state before heading to another place: the Nether Hell. he used the special talisman the Paragon left for their group and entered the core of this Forbidden Land.

He bowed even more politely than when he encountered the Heretic Emperor. After all, he was meeting with an Empyrean. Even in the Eternal Ascension World, Empyreans are top cultivators capable of walking proudly and without much worry.

“Your excellency Nether, I–”

Boom!

A palm crushed Parasyte, not leaving a single atom.

“Why are these wastes bothering me?” said a voice that seemed extremely ancient and had seen the world’s ups and downs.

“I have been trying for so long with no success. But recently, I felt my chance was approaching. Let’s see where this intuition is coming from.”

Somewhere deep underground, surrounded by numerous formations:

Parasyte opened his eyes and spewed a mouthful of blood; his complexion became paler than white powder.

“Why are all these people so unreasonable,” he groaned with gritted teeth before shoving a bunch of pills in his mouth to alleviate his injury. He was cautious and never met these Immortal Entities with his real body. But even only destroying a projection also affected his main body.

Typically, it would cost nothing to lose a projection. Unfortunately, an Empyrean took action.

“I can’t stay here in case that lunatic comes after me.” Parasyte knew there was a potent seal in the Nether Hall, but he never underestimated the capabilities of an Empyrean.

“Plus, I must delay my visit to the Blood Earth.”

Parasyte frowned after thinking about the Blood Earth; the plan is to wake up the sleeping 6-star Primarch inside. However, he knew the Blood Earth was the least likely to succeed–even above the Nether Hall. The main reason is that Primarch hated humans or Acquired Life. So, he would face the same fate as in the Nether Hall If he showed up and woke it up.

“I’ll wait until my injury stabilizes before I try.” Then, he left this hideout for another one.

Western Continent:

A week after his conversation with Di Tian, he received a talisman notifying him about the disappearance of the Dao Burial Ground. The new assassin he took underneath also received news from the main branch of the Shadow Slayer Temple to disband and integrate into society.

“I wonder what made those rats run away so soon? Did something happen?” he muttered with a frown. He lacked too much information and could think of too many possibilities.

‘Forget it. Anyway, they can run.’ He closed his eyes and waited. He did not know what happened in the Nether Hall. But that’s normal since only two people knew what occurred.

Two weeks later, the void before Wang Wei opened and Di Tian walked out; his aura was agitated, indicating he was not in the best mood.

“How is it?” he asked with a frown.

“Failed,” he said with a groan. “I killed one, and the other escaped.”

“Did you try your best?”

“I did. I used my full strength and even sneak-attacked him to ensure success. However, he had a weird life-saving method where he turned into a bunch of insects. I tried to eliminate every single one, but a few escaped.”

Wang Wei became annoyed even though he knew this was a possibility. These upper-dimension traitors have become cockroach villains, and he hated nothing more than a villain that refused to die.

“This is for you,” said Di Tian as he took out a red orb.

“A Slaughter Heart,” said Wang Wei with brilliant eyes. This is a rare resource born by condensing Slaughter Aura; it requires a specific environment to give birth to.

  “I did not fulfill my end of the bargain, so I’ll use this to compensate for my part.” Di Tian did not want to owe Karma debt to Wang Wei, so the latter could not use it against him in the final battle.

Although he also mastered Karma Law because of his Samsara Dao and his past as a Buddhist monk, Karma was not the main focus of his Dao, so he could still lose in a direct confrontation with a master like Wang Wei.

As such, he concluded the best choice of action is to repay the karma in a way that would not directly help Wang Wei. Di Tian knew the latter sent disciples to gather slaughter aura in the Western Continent, most likely for Li Jun, so he devised this reward to repay the karma.

After handing the heart to Wang Wei, Di Tian disappeared. Meanwhile, Wang Wei squinted his eyes.

‘Both times he showed up, he never revealed his main body; it’s almost like he did not want me to see his current body.’ Wang Wei did not think the latter feared him, so there must be a reason he did not want to see him.

‘Did he really find a way to achieve Tenth Extremity?’ He remembered how he did not want Chu Luo to see his full power to not learn from it. So, he concluded Di Tian was doing something similar.

‘I must accelerate things,’ he thought as he quickly checked the Science and Technology World. Their research accelerated with an Emperor Body. Finally, he looked at the Slaughter Heart, feeling its vast energy.

“So pure,” he commented with a frown. “This thing is perfect for Li Jun to absorb but not to use on that weapon.” The weapon must be wild and ferocious to ensure its power. So, such pure slaughter aura is not suitable.

“‘This guy is worthy of the title of richest cultivator; he even has such a thing.’ He shook his head. From the Oracle Mirror, he knew Di Tian’s Proving Dao Artifact was probably even better than his that he had recently upgraded. He prepared to put it away when he sensed a talisman inside his space.

‘The sect’s emergency contact talisman? What happened?’ He hurriedly checked. Immediately afterward, a wave of great anger flashed in his eyes.

‘These people are truly courting death.’

He wanted to be peaceful, use the time he had left with his family, and cultivate. But some people wanted to try his patience. Wang Wei teleported and returned home.

Mechanized Puppet World:

Chen Chen–the sect master of the Origin Weapon Mountain–walked into a room with seven people, with six people standing in specific spots of the room. An array was engraved on the floor, along with a silver puppet lying at the center.

Chen Chen looked at the puppet with excitement; he finally had an opportunity to rise.

“Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?” said the seventh person; he was responsible for managing the formation.

“I am.”

“But this is a taboo practice for a reason.”

“The previous people failed because their bodies were frailed,” commented Chen Chen. “Although I’m not a body refiner, my body is much stronger than your typical puppet master.”

“You don’t have to say anything else,” interrupted Chen Chen. “I’ve decided and prepared.” He finally found a chance to rise and become one of the top Heaven Chosen who broke the barrier between Mortal and Immortal.

‘Tong Ruobing, wait until we meet again: I’ll surprise you.’ Chen Chen used to be the peer and ‘rival’ of Tong Ruobing. But, at some point, he became mediocre while she rose like a comet. He previously accepted this fact since he could not make up the gap. But now, he had finally found an opportunity.

“Let’s begin.”

The array master sighed and no longer convinced him. Chen Chen entered the center of the array, next to the pure silver puppet. Light flashed around as the array activated, then he screamed in agony.

The array master frowned as he had a bad feeling. But it was too late to do anything now. He could only wait to see the result.
