859 Rematch (VI)
Di Tian applied his Pseudo Dao Will and Willpower Manifestation to his leg, increasing his already unparalleled speed. He moved so fast that he left tears in the fabric of space-time; however, the tear only appeared a few seconds after he left.
Boom!
A terrifying explosive sound echoed in this vacuum of space. The sound originated from Wang Wei’s two arms exploding like popped balloons. However, despite the gruesome fate of his limbs, not even a peep got out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Di Tian was not focusing on such a useless matter. After taking care of his opponent’s way of defending himself, he went for the kill. So, without hesitation and giving his opponent enough time to react, he made a second punch.
Another exploding sound echoed in the void as Di Tian’s arm was inside Wang Wei’s chest, turning him into a human Donut with no arms.
Di Tian immediately frowned. His attack appeared successful, but it was not. He intended to obliterate his opponent’s entire body–including his soul.
However, at the very last minute, Wang Wei reinforced all the parts of his body except for the upper limb. With these reinforcements, Di Tian’s attack couldn’t destroy his lower limbs and his head.
Then, he directed most of the force of the attack on his upper torso, forcing the attack to only leave a hole in his body.
‘Such a high Battle IQ, high experience, subtle control and understanding of force, and excellent application of his Dao Will and Willpower Manifestation,’ secretly praised Di Tian. ‘There are many things I can learn from him.’
Di Tian prepared for another brutal attack. However, Wang Wei’s limbs had already regenerated in such a short moment. So, without hesitation, he attacked Di Tian’s head with his elbow.
Sadly, Di Tian’s unparalleled speed also involved his reaction speed. As such, he slightly moved his head to evade the attack. Wang Wei seemed to have expected this movement, so he gathered the terrifying gravity from the Black Holes in his Acupoints and released them through his elbow.
Meanwhile, Di Tian calmly faces the immense gravity heading for his head. He released his own gravity or suppressing power from the Dragon Elephant.
Boom! Boom!
The clash of these two’s gravity twisted the space; at a micro level, all the smallest subatomic particles were scattered and dispersed. And in a very short period, Wang Wei’s power was overwhelmed.
The Dragon Elephant’s power is based on its wielder’s physical prowess. And Di Tian’s current fleshly body has reached an unimaginable level through the Fiendgood Bloodline.
The crux of Wang Wei’s attack was to buy him a few nanoseconds to regenerate his upper torso. And his plan succeeded while failing at the same time.
‘Something is corroding my innard,’ thought Wang Wei. At first, he thought it was the weird Primordial Aura from the Fiendgod. However, he had already taken precautions for this situation.
Many of his clones had fused with Chaos Materials when refining their bodies. So, Wang Wei gathered the Chaos Aura from them as a form of defense for his innards. Furthermore, Wang Wei has been analyzing Di Tian’s Primordial Aura.
With a bit of time and the use of his Qi Flower Divine Ability, it’s not impossible for him to synthesize Primordial Aura like DI Tina, using Chaos Aura.
‘Luckily, this power is weak, and he has no control of it yet,’ thought Wang Wei as he removed the effect on him. Furthermore, he added it to the list to watch for and not let inside his body.
After crushing his opponent’s gravity, He rushed forward, his mind focused to the limit:
‘The Fiendgod is one of the most talented creatures between Heaven and Earth, so they have a natural instinct when controlling things like Willpower. Although it is not enough for them to reach the peak, it’s more than enough for 99% of ordinary body refiners.
‘So, all I need to do is follow my body’s instinct to quickly reach a high level of control of my Willpower.’
Immediately, the black lightning near his eyes that symbolized his Willpower Manifestation thickened.
Bang!
Wang Wei’s new arms once again exploded. Furthermore, the upper half of his torso was also missing a big chunk. Di Tian went on the offensive with consecutive attacks.
Wang Wei reacted by blocking his legs. He gathered all his defensive methods, including focusing the Force Field from his skin on his legs, ignoring the defense of the other parts.
His right was missing. However, Wang Wei did not care. Despite his terrible situation, his injuries were child-play since his core was not injured. Of course, he also knew he could not continue this constant regeneration; otherwise, his stamina would drop to Di Tian’s level.
‘I just need to find the feeling from back then,’ thought Wang Wei as he concentrated, trying to fuse two different yet similar powers.
Bang!
Di Tian’s attack reached his left leg. However, the thing was not instantly annihilated into oblivion. On the contrary, it only twisted beyond what the human’s exoskeletons allowed.
However, despite the terrible shape of his legs, Wang Wei’s eyes shone.
‘That’s it–it’s almost there.’
Meanwhile, Di Tian felt a sense of crisis. He knew what these eyes meant–his opponent was on the verge of a breakthrough during battle. He had experienced it himself in this battle and saw similar eyes during their first confrontation.
His mood became agitated, which resulted in awakening another power from his bloodline. In an instant, his strength and speed increased by a few percent as he rushed toward his opponent.
Bang!
He punched the head, destroying everything else in the process. Di Tian looked at his fist and the place where Wang Wei’s body used to be, and he was not happy.
When his fist hit his opponent’s head, it did not immediately explode. On the contrary, the head blocked his attack for far longer than it should have, given the strength he placed behind that attack.
Furthermore, his Dao Will and Willpower received their greatest resistance since the beginning of this battle. If the previous battle was a towering wall made of a well-refined or crafted, it was now made of the best steel humans can create.
He looked in the distance where Wang Wei’s body appeared.
‘He did not hesitate to use Bone Substitution and sacrifice one of his lives for this breakthrough. Is it that important?’
Wang Wei appeared in the distance with a smile on his face.
‘The answer was simple: resonance between my body and Dao while using my soul as the medium. Will Manifestation is the result of my body or [Essence]? At the same time, Dao Will originated from my Dao, which is associated with the [Qi], and the soul is the manifestation of the [Spirit].
Wang Wei clenched his fist as he fused these two powers; he sensed how the increase brought by using them independently could not compare to when combined.
‘In the early stages of my cultivation, when I was ignorant, I used to call my Duyi Realm with the name True Will. But I feel this name was more suited for this new power.’
Wang Wei did not know the name of the fused power of these different Wills since Wu Hong refused to tell him the name. Regardless, he had a feeling the original name was also True Will.
When his young self named it True Will, he was probably influenced by his future self and foreshadowed his eventual acquisition of this power; or, it could be he was in tune with the universe and also divine the future.
Whatever the truth was, the only thing that mattered was the name.
After a few tests, Wang Wei finally focused on his opponent. In this brief confrontation, many things happened, not including his breakthrough.
For example, he had identified or had a solid theory to explain the strange power of Di Tian’s bloodline.
‘It should be the Primordial Will.’ The Primordial Law of Fiendgods is boosted by the Primordial Will of Primordial Chaos. However, they lose that boost after entering a Chaos World.
‘His bloodline does not have a Primordial Law. However, someone used a brilliant method to refine it and keep some of the power from the Primordial Will.’
Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he had a few more theories. For example, Di Tian cannot actively control that remnant of Primordial Will. Instead, it will passively boost all his abilities, similar to how it does for Fiendgods’s Laws.
‘However, that’s just my theory and has not been verified. So, I should be on the lookout for the possibility of being wrong.
‘Furthermore, I do not know the limit of the Primordial Will’s boost to his overall ability and strength.’
After making his analysis, Wang Wei prepared for the continuation of the battle; he could not wait to try out the power of his True Will.
