Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

789 Huo Fenghuang vs Mo Xingyun (III)



Bang!

Mo Xingyun’s aura suddenly increased. Numerous tattoos appeared on his body, followed by a drastic increase in his blood energy. He clenched his hand, feeling the sheer power coursing through his veins.

‘Barely 9-Leaf,’ thought the Heaven-Devouring Emperor, a little disappointed. He always wanted to create a secret technique to reach the strength of a Dao Ancestor.

Unfortunately, his foundation was not enough. He never broke the Mortal-Immortal Barrier during his life, so he lacked knowledge and experience in this field.

Then, after he became an Eternal Emperor, he did not live for long before being exiled to the upper dimension. And once he reached there, he died within a few million years.

Furthermore, he spent most of this time running away from people hunting him down. Because of this experience, he lacked the foundation of an Emperor since he only had a little time to learn the secrets of Heaven and Earth, learn secret techniques, or even have a high cultivation level.

When he died, his Grand Dao Source’s comprehension was only 23%, and that’s only because he absorbed a lot of the Myriad Emperor World’s source.

So, when he took over Mo Xingyun’s body and had to cultivate her to be a viable Heaven Chosens in this generation, the Heaven Devouring Emperor felt he had many limitations; he felt he could not bring out his full potential.

‘Well, I should be satisfied,’ he pondered. With his current Dao Foundation, he can recast a better Dao Body after reviving himself. The previous one was trash, in his opinion.

After Awakening, he did not even have a 1% Grand Dao Source boost until he ascended to the upper dimension. And it even reached 1% because he killed a newly-born Emperor and absorbed her Dao Body.

Unfortunately, his act also revealed himself to the public. Then, countless former Emperors from the Myriad Emperor World began to hunt him down.

When it comes to his death, the Heaven Devouring Emperor is furious, and it’s not because of all these people ganging on him to kill him. As a devil cultivator, he was always prepared to die or suffer some random calamity because of his karma sins.

The reason for his anger was he suspected someone was scheming against him, and that person was none other than Emperor Kong.

Not long after killing that Emperor, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor planned to absorb a few more Dao Bodies to sublimate his own. However, Emperor Kong showed up and talked to him about being fellow Eternals from the same place and invited him to work together for a great cause.

However, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor was suspicious since the latter was very vague about his so-called great cause. Of course, with his intelligence, he guessed it was related to the “rebels.”

As he had already decided to keep out of the battle between the Parasites and the Rebels and even using the chaos to his advantage, the Heaven Devouring Emperor refused his invitation.

Unfortunately, not long after that, he suddenly became the public enemy of many Great Emperors from the Myriad Emperor World. They hunted him down for many years before killing him.

After his death, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor analyzed the situation. He realized his death was nothing but a warning from Emperor Kong. After he revived himself, he knew the latter would come and invite him again.

By then, if he refuses, his fate will be true death.

After feeling the power coursing through his veins, Mo Xingyun gazed at his opponent.

Bang!

He rushed toward her with immense speed. Before she could perceive him, he was already before her and punched her. The sound of ribs cracking echoed in the vast emptiness of space before Huo Fenghuang flew in the distance.

Huo Fenghuang groaned as she transferred most of the force behind the attack, allowing her to stop her momentum. She spat the blood in her mouth as white flame appeared on her body, trying to heal her injuries.

‘That wild, fierce, primitive, and supreme aura–he has the Ancient Barbarian Physique.’

Heavenly Physique ranked 21st–Ancient Barbary Physique.

Rumors have it that in ancient times before humans had a cultivation system, there were a group of powerful humans who could smash mountains and move rivers. Although their strengths were pale compared to top Innate Demon Gods, they could still fight some of the weaker ones.

And that’s because of their powerful flesh. These people were known as the Barbarian Race.

  According to legend, their race was a group of humans living on an isolated island.

Then, one day, an injured Primordial God arrived at that island and died there. The humans drank his blood and ate his flesh. Although most died as a result, the ones who survived were fundamentally changed.

They became more powerful and capable of using Divine Abilities.

“You survived?” said Mo Xingyun with a sneer. “Let’s change that.”

The phantom of a half man and half bull appeared behind him before instantly appearing before her and stomping his feet.

Huo Fenghuang’s Yin-Yang Shield could not resist for even a second, even with the power of [Weakness (Yin)] to reduce the attacking potency of this technique] and [Strength (Yang)] to strengthen the defensive capabilities of the shield.

Luckily, she manifested another Bloodline Artifact besides her White Tiger Sword–the Black Tortoise Shield.

Bang!

The vibration from the attack destroyed her organs, making her vomit more blood.

‘Shit, this is bad,’ thought Huo Fenghuang as she felt the power of the Duyi Realm preventing her from healing. She analyzed it was probably the peak 9th stage of the Duyi Realm.

Her Phoenix Flame was working on overdrive to heal herself, but the process was like someone caught in a quagmire.

The Heaven-Devouring Emperor no longer talked; he decided to kill her as quickly as possible to prevent any trouble.

His secret technique used the reserve power or energy he swallowed to increase his power. Such a technique should have a time limit and sequelae.

However, for the Heaven-Devouring Emperor, this fact was only partially true. There was indeed a time limit, but he could use more reserved energy to extend it. And it was the same for the backlash.

With the power he swallowed, he can convert them into a life force to instantly heal himself to a peak state. As such, with this ingenious method, he can keep this power and fight for at least a week.

And if the Heaven-Devouring Emperor can continue to swallow his opponent’s power, he can extend this time limit.

Boom!

Mo Xingyun attacked again, and Huo Fenghuang’s injury aggravated. Then, her expression became ugly. 

She discovered a subtle power absorbing the Blood Qi in her dantian and the spiritual power in her Sea of Consciousness.

The scariest part was she felt the Innate Law from her bloodlines tremble slightly as if affected by this power.

‘What’s going on? I have absolute control over my power, so he should not be able to swallow them.’

It was one thing to swallow her external attacks but another thing entirely to directly take them from her inside her body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Mo Xingyun suddenly grew Three Heads and Six Arms, assaulting Huo Fenghuang as if the latter had taken his wife and killed his mother. And with each attack, he would swallow her power.

Huo Fenghuang tried different methods to stop this from happening. She blessed herself with the Immortal Will from the Phoenix. However, she discovered it was useless.

After a rapid analysis, she discovered her opponent would absorb her power during a moment of weakness every time she was injured. In the brief moment, once her body or soul suffered an injury, she lost control of her Blood Qi, Spiritual Power, and even Law.

Although that time is less than an attosecond, it was more than enough for the Heaven-Devouring Emperor.

So, in a few seconds, Huo Fenghuang’s body shrunk and became thinner than a mummy. She would have died if not for using the Yin-Yang Mirror supplement Yin-Yang Energy to her Black Tortoise Shield.

‘I can’t keep defending like this,’ she thought as she decided it was not a good idea to summon the defensive Emperor Artifact. In her current situation, the artifact would drain all her life force and kill her.

Furthermore, she had to watch out for the Heaven Devouring Emperor from Devouring the artifact, hence why she did not physically summon her mirror.

Although absorbing an Emperor Artifact should be in the realm of impossibility, she knew she was facing a former Eternal Emperor. So, common sense did not apply to her.

Huo Fenghuang chose a different tactic altogether. A decisive look flashed deep in her eyes, then:

Boom!

She exploded her flesh body and part of her soul, creating a powerful shockwave that pushed Mo Xingyun away.

But in this distance, a small red crystal that looked like a tear was surrounded by white flames. The crystal was Huo Fenghuang’s Phoenix Bloodline Artifact–the Phoenix Tear.

With it, she had a few lives. So, she used it to revive herself and distance herself from her opponent.

And once she showed up, she was completely different.

She had blue armor made of scale. No, it was not armor–her skin had turned into dragon scale. Her eyes were blood red and that of a tiger. Two pairs of flaming wings floated behind her, followed by a scale snake for a tail. Two deer horns grew from her head. However, they were not Dragon Horns but Qilin, apparent by their short length.

‘Five Sacred Beast Bloodline,’ thought the Heaven-Devouring Emperor, more serious than before. His eyes could see tiny black tortoise tattoos on each of Huo Fenghuang’s scales, indicating the terrifying defense of the latter.

Furthermore, his opponent’s aura was not inferior to his–if not more powerful.
