Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

As Wang Wei applied his True Will, the dark lightning next to his eyes turned a shade of red. Furthermore, his body now released a more repressive aura.

Then, he watched calmly as Di Tian rushed toward him. In their previous confrontation, his mind could follow the latter’s movement, but his body could not respond on time. However, it was different.

He could now see and react by applying his True Will to his nervous system

Their fists confronted each other, generating shockwaves that made this cosmic battlefield tremble. However, the result of such a confrontation was mutual restraint.

‘The fusion process was not smooth and natural; the resonance was not fluid or perfectly balanced,’ thought Wang Wei.

‘It’s possible to concentrate even more on my Willpower and Dao Will,’ pondered Di Tian.

In this one confrontation, the mind of these two titans worked at an accelerated speed that would put most Quantum Computers to shame and out of work.

Boom!

Another attack in which they were equal.

‘This time, the issue was with my Willpower. It is so much more potent than my Dao Will that I need to weaken it to achieve balance.’

‘His Willpower Manifestation and Dao Will functioned like natural instincts for him, like any other limbs on his body. Such an achievement requires talent and years of training.

‘I don’t have such a long time, so I must rely on the natural instinct of my bloodline.’

In the back of his mind, Di Tian felt some unnecessary thoughts arise, but he suppressed them with his spirit and concentrated.

Boom!

Di Tian took a few steps back, the bone of his left arm hurting immensely. The doubting thoughts deep in his subconscious became even louder. Regardless, he moved forward with a third attack.

Crack!

His bones fractured as Wang Wei’s strength overwhelmed the limit of his Indestructibility and the defensive capabilities he had spent billions of years training.

‘No, I can’t lose–I refuse to lose, especially to him.’

The talent gap in the cultivation world is something that can drive the most determined man to his doom. Di Tian has known and recognized this fact through brutal experience after meeting and fighting some of these talents.

However, of the ones he met, he refused to lose to Wang Wei, not out of pride or unwillingness to accept his limitation, but because the latter was a Dao Overlord, and he was not.

Di Tian’s intense emotions resonated with the Primordial Will deep in his bloodline. Then, the Primordial Will responded to his call and boosted his physical prowess.

Boom!

It was Wang Wei’s turn for his bones to crack and take a few steps back. However, his eyes became brighter after this brief confrontation. His acute senses detected the changes in Di Tian’s emotions through Su Ya’s methods; he also noticed the resonance between Di Tian’s mood and the Primordial Will.

‘I was wrong; I should not treat my True Will like some sort of energy that only requires precise understanding and control. There is some aspect of the mind, including desires or wishes.’

He remembered the comments left in Wu Hong’s notebook:

“My Will is above Heaven and Earth.”

Wang Wei clenched his fist and punched his opponent. And as soon as the two fists met, Di Tian’s face changed. He felt an overbearing power entering his body and suppressing the Primordial Will in his bloodline.

Then, it proceeded to suppress his Dao Will and Willpower Manifestation. The two tried to resist and even briefly worked together. Alas, their attempt was futile as that power was too overbearing. 

That power was the embodiment of the saying follow me and thrive, oppose me and be annihilated.

So, Di Tian watched in horror as half of his body exploded into oblivion. And the shock he felt was not hiding in his facial expression. But, it was not the end as Wang Wei went for a second punch.

Bang!

Di Tian’s body exploded into oblivion, not leaving a single atom or piece of his soul in this mortal world.

‘This attack was perfect,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘It reached the limit of Mortality.’

After combining his Zodiac Technique, his superb control of force or strength, and an ungodly application of his True Will, his attack reached 39 Infant Fiendgod Force, which is the limit for a mortal body.

If it were in an ancient time when there was a Third Gate, he would need to open at 40 Infant Fiendgod Force, proving the Dao with the flesh and becoming a Third Class Emperor.

If what he learned from myths about the Prehistoric World is true, the level of 40 Infant Fiendgod Force is what they called Sanctification of the Flesh.

Wang Wei gazed in the distance as Di Tian’s new body reformed.

‘So, his Bone Ability is the same as mine.’ The Fiendgod Bloodline mutated many of the latter’s abilities, but it seemed the internal organs’ ability to control elements, Elementalize, and the Bone Substitution remained.

Wang Wei did not hesitate as he rushed toward his opponent. Since he had the advantage, he would not let it go so easily. The black-red lightning in his eyes became denser, increasing his overall intimidation factor.

[Heaven and Earth Assimilation]

Di Tian did not waste time and used his Muscle Divine Ability. His body assimilated with his surroundings, taking on the property of the entire Cosmic Star Battlefield.

Bang!

Wang Wei drop-kicked his opponent on his head, and the latter blocked with his hands. Di Tian flew a dozen meters away before stopping; however, only his arms were injured.

‘Another strange and unknown technique,’ thought Wang Wei as he continued his offensive; he chose a barrage of attacks to see the limit of this technique.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

‘His defense has drastically increased,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘It feels like I’m fighting the entire world.’ He detected Di Tian’s body to acquire specific properties: vast, infinite, empty, and natural correctional ability.

‘All these attributes usually correspond to space. Did his body become a universe? No, there seemed to be a connection between him and the surrounding environment. Did he assimilate with the entire battlefield?’

While amid his barrage of punches, Wang Wei analyzed the situation. Meanwhile, Di Tian was on the defensive; he tried to find a way to counterattack, but the result of his attempts was more punched to the face as his defense weakened.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei changed his True Will with the desire to destroy the Universe, increasing the potency of his attack as it directly targeted Di Tian’s technique.

Unfortunately, this method worked briefly as he only exploded the latter’s head for a short period.

‘He has improved tremendously in this battle,’ thought Wang Wei as he watched Di Tian regrew his head. The main focus of his attacks has been to infiltrate his True Will into his opponent’s body.

However, DI Tian has been extra careful to block his attempts. And when they succeeded, he was ruthless and eliminated the part that had been infected before Wang Wei’s True Will had set in and done any damage.

And his body, with the properties of infinite space, made it easier to remove the infected areas.

Boom!

Wang Wei punched again, but his attack did little to no damage.

‘I see. The scope of his assimilation is based on how large the space is. His previous assimilation was the Starry Battlefield, but now, it should involve all the other dimensions.’

Things became tricky for Wang Wei. Such a technique should place a heavy burden on Di Tian’s body and soul. However, with his Fiendgod Bloodline, he should last longer than anticipated.

As for the latter’s soul? Wang Wei could already tell his Primordial Spirit had reached the level beyond Jade Quality.

‘A prolonged battle is in my favor. However, Di Tian is the kind of genius with a terrifying foundation due to his long life. In this battle, he can make countless breakthroughs while under pressure by relying on his solid foundation.’

Time was on his side, but if he could not hurt Di Tian, the latter might take this opportunity.

After analyzing the situation with absolute calmness, he made the appropriate response. He continued his barrage as if he was using the same tactic.

Di Tian was now an unbreakable tank; however, he was slow as a turtle to Wang Wei, so he could only defend trying to come up with another tactic out of this situation.

Splash!

Di Tian suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood. Then, blood streaked down his eyes, nose, and ears.

“How is that possible?” he muttered before swiftly checking the reason. He discovered the strange power that was the combination of Dao Will and Willpower. His next tactic was to use the time his defense was unbreakable to analyze that power and see if he could recreate it.

But now, he discovered Wang Wei had managed to implant it inside his body, negating his regenerating power. Such an injury was on par with when the battle first began.

‘How did he bypass my defense? My senses? Could he have created a technique to make it invisible?’

Di Tian was partially correct. Wang Wei’s method was simple misdirection. He divided his True Will into two parts with his subtle manipulation.

Then, he used one part to distract his opponent. So, while Di Tian thought he had blocked the first True Will, he sneaked the second one into his body and hid all its fluctuation. After, he repeated the process until all the True ill could not be hidden and detonated them.

If anyone from the upper dimension were watching this battle, they would be terrified. After all, Wang Wei had just acquired the power of True Will, yet, he had such control over it.

Such a talent was genuinely horrifying.

Of course, these people would give up too much credit for him. The reason for such rapid improvement was the foundation he laid with his Force Control Skill.

‘I need a new tactic for this battle,’ said Di Tian, who realized his approach was wrong from the beginning, from the moment he lost the rhythm of the battle.
