857 Rematch (IV)
A black lightning suddenly flashed around Wang Wei’s eyes; his gaze became more intense and his aura more overbearing. The surrounding space twisted as if incapable of bearing his presence.
Cracks appeared on Wang Wei’s face, making him look a little scary.
‘Oops, I used too much,’ he thought as the cracks healed and the intensity of the black lightning diminished. ‘That should be the limit of my body.’
Wang Wei flew forward, his speed drastically faster than before. However, his path left a trail of black lightning behind.
Boom!
He punched Di Tian, who had a ghastly look on his face. The sound of bone cracking reverberated in the infinite void of space. However, this was the beginning.
Wang Wei went for a punch on the latter’s head to explode it. However, Di Tian took a page from his book and turned his head into Water Element through his ability to control elements from tempering his organs.
Sadly, it was useless. Wang Wei’s punch could ignore his Indestructible Nature, let alone his Elemental Body. Luckily, his attack did reduce the damage to some extent.
Boom!
Wang Wei made a second punch, and this one with even more ferocity. And with this one attack, Di Tian’s body exploded into oblivion as every matter and molecule of his body was annihilated by the sheer force behind that attack.
Wang Wei was not happy with his success. He looked in the distance where Di Tian’s new body was. At least a minute before his death, he forced a drop of his blood through his fingers. And from that drop, he regenerated his new body.
‘Willpower Manifestation,’ thought Di Tian with an ugly expression. He should have expected this. Someone like Yin Gen accomplished an incomplete Will Manifestation.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei’s talent for Body Refining was higher than the latter–especially after swallowing Ji Song’s Heavenly Ax Physique. So, why would he not accomplish a better Willpower Manifestation?
As for him? He had never achieved a Willpower Manifestation for many reasons, mainly because of his closed mind. Based on his knowledge, only exceptionally talented people who reached the middle and late stages of the Infant Fiendgod Realm can awaken their Willpower.
And most people will have to wait after opening the Gate of Power–which no one has ever accomplished in the Lower Dimension–before they can succeed.
With this mindset, Di Tian never tried to manifest his Willpower and take control of it.
For a moment, he remembered a comment one of his teachers–a pure True Power Dao Realm Emperor–said regarding this power:
“I torture my body to manifest my Will. And from now on, my Will is above Heaven and Earth’s logic.”
And with this brief confrontation, he knew the meaning of these words. His body is currently in a state of indestructibility. But Wang Wei’s fist did not care. His Will believes it can destroy something indestructible, so it did.
Wang Wei instantly appeared before Di Tian and punched him in one of the acupoints that rendered his body immobile. Then, he held the latter by the head before carrying him like unwanted luggage.
Using the Earth Elements in his spleen to create dozens of giant planets with no life. And without hesitation, he carried Di Tian as his shield, breaking through these planets; no, a better way to explain it was he used him as a jackhammer to dig through these planets one by one.
However, he was unsatisfied with the planets, so he used his Chaos Flames to create stars. Then, he used his Muscle Divine Ability to fold the space into stack walls,
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Di Tian broke through these Space Walls one by one, his back and head bleeding intensely. Di Tian tried every method to remove his opponent’s deadly grip on him.
However, Wang Wei’s Willpower was the most overbearing power he had ever seen. Any methods he tried, the black lightning would forcibly destroy them or render them useless.
Di Tian felt great humiliation but controlled his mind to be as calm as possible. And amid this humiliation, his spirit reached an unprecedented height.
Crackle!
A black lightning flashed in his fist as he punched Wang Wei’s face.
‘Willpower Manifestation? Did he have a breakthrough during our battle and learn from me?’
However, it did not matter. Although Di Tian’s Willpower was extremely high–even higher than Yin Gen’s–it was nothing compared to Wang Wei. Fortunately, his action of manifesting his willpower caught Wang Wei off-guard for a brief moment.
Bang!
Di Tian kicked him away, and his right boot’s aura drastically diminished in the process. He used a secret technique to overload his Chaos Treasure boot, allowing him to generate a tremendous attack.
The downside to this method is that the boot will be weakened for between a few minutes to a few hours.
“I guess I overestimated you,” said Di Tian with a sneer. “You have the perfect opportunity to inflict heavy damage on me. Instead, you used it to humiliate me? I thought you were better than this.”
“Well, I am not,” replied Wang Wei calmly. “Our battle is not only a battle of revenge for me but also a process of Spiritual Cleansing.”
As he said these words, his aura changed subtly. It was like a significant burden from him was also lifted, just like when the battle started.
“As I said before, you’ve always been a mountain pressing on me. And in today’s battle, I will not only overcome the mountain but conquer it.”
Wang Wei cracked his head and shoulders. Of course, he chose something that appeared useless because time was on his side for this battle. He has the advantage of stamina, so a prolonged battle is advantageous to him.
And with his actions, he has slowly brought the advantage in the mental state area to his side.
Veins appeared on Di Tian’s neck and forehead. However, he breathed deeply to calm down.
‘The combination of his Willpower and Dao Will is a nightmare.’
There is a reason that Eternal Emperors–and even Pseudo Eternals–who are Body Refiners are trouble throughout the entire Chaos Universe. And that reason is their control of their Willpower and Dao Will.
With these two things boosting their speed, defense, and attack and nullifying the opponent’s regeneration–they are the pinnacle of individuals in any Chaos Worlds.
Furthermore, they are the nightmare of other groups because it is easier for these people to kill Everlasting Empyreans and Boundless Paragons.
However, it is not easy for anyone to reach the Paragon Realm with these two powers because of the restrictions of True Heavenly Dao and Grand Dao. Anyone who walks these two paths will suffer terrible Tribulations if they want to become Boundless and Inextinguishable Paragons.
‘If I want a chance to win this battle, my only choice is to use that,’ thought Di Tian, who hesitated whether to release such a trump card so early in this battle.
However, he soon made a decision after seeing the killing intent in Wang Wei’s eyes as the black lightning flashed around his eyes. Furthermore, he had already decided that a short battle was to his advantage.
His aura suddenly changed, followed by physical changes to his body. His skin became silver, followed by four pointy horns on his head. His clothes fused with his skin, leaving only pants.
His white and black hair floated behind him as if there was wind in this void space. He grew claws along with a tail. Bat-like wings grew behind his back.
In general, Di Tian was quite intimidating; he had the aura of a Primordial and Ancient Being that had just awakened. His presence was awe-inspiring, inducing fundamental worship and fear embedded deep in any weak creatures watching this battle.
‘The Ancient Desolate God Transformation? Is this his trump card?’ Wang Wei did not believe it to be so. Although this transformation allowed the fleshly body to reach an optimal state, the increase in strength granted was minimal for their current stage.
‘The greatest benefit of this transformation after achieving Ten Supremacy is to increase the regeneration speed and intensity.’
For example, if usually, Wang Wei and Di Tian could only regenerate 1000 thousand, the transformation would increase the number between 5000 to 10,000.
However, the increase in things like attack and speed was minimal. It also optimized defense but was barely higher than the other stats.
As expected, he was correct.
Di Tian’s aura suddenly changed and became more ancient, noble, and fierce. Wang Wei felt his body instinctively tremble as he felt that aura; it was like his body immediately knew it meant someone extremely noble and fearful and should show respect.
“This is…” muttered Wang Wei as he controlled his body, not missing a single moment of Di Tian’s transformation.
His Ancient Desolate God Transformation changed; to be precise, he reverted to a normal-looking body. The only difference was the strange tattoos on Di Tian’s chest, followed by his completely purple eyes with no iris.
