881 The Winner
Di Tian took a deep breath. He knew he should have waited until after he became an Eternal Emperor before fusing the Samsara Pagoda with the Samsara Seal.
However, he did not care about such a thing now. He did not want to lose his ninth Heaven Will Battle and win the tenth. He did not want to follow his destined path.
So, even if his action would lower the quality of the pagoda, preventing it from acquiring its tenth layer, he did not care. Anyway, when there is a will, there is a way; he could always find a way to make up for the flaws after he proves the Dao.
Boom!
The aura of the Pagoda drastically increased, and in the process of opening the ninth layer, Suddenly, the pagodas increased, and Di Tian’s power reached 11% Grand Dao Source.
He waved his hand to drop the Death Hand on his opponent. Wang Wei was tiny compared to this colossal hand; it even reminded him of some not-so-good memories in his early years in the Pagoda.
However, he was calm as death approached him.
With his eyes still closed, he appeared to have given up and accepted his fate. However, to everyone’s surprise, the hand bypassed him as if he did not exist.
Although blood spilled out of his orifices immediately afterward, it is obvious to anyone watching that this was not the result of Di Tian’s attack but the backlash of whatever technique he used.
‘[Intangibility]? No, I’ve dealt with this technique already?’ thought Di Tian as he dropped a second attack. The result was the same, but his eyes showed a look of understanding.
‘It’s some kind of clever evading technique, capable of even evading concepts. However, it seems to have a heavy toll on his body and soul.’
Di Tian’s analysis was correct. Wang Wei used his Ancestor–the Battle Maniac’s–Famous Evading Technique. Unfortunately, this technique was created by a Paragon and turned into a Source Technique by Battle Maniac.
With Wang Wei’s current state, strength, and the fact Di Tian’s strength was overwhelmingly more powerful than him, the backlash of using a Source Technique was greater than he anticipated.
However, it was all worth it.
‘4% Grand Dao Source,’ he thought as he successfully reached such a level after surviving these two attacks. ‘My current strength is even higher than Di Tian. However, I’m still no match for him with his Pagoda.’
Wang Wei wanted to curse out loud every time he thought of that pagoda. According to his analysis, this weapon has the potential to grant a 10% Grand Dao Source Boost if Di Tian plays his card correctly.
‘Alright, let’s focus; this is just the beginning.’
[4.1%…4.2%…4.3%…4.4%…4.5%]
The conversation went smoothly, even accelerated after reaching such a threshold. However, Wang Wei was not happy because Di Tian stopped attacking. Meanwhile, the aura released by his pagoda becomes exponentially more intense, and his intuition goes on overdrive to warn him.
[4.9%]
This should have been a happy thing for Wang Wei, but he had to open his eyes. Di Tian succeeded before him, fusing the two artifacts and opening the ninth layer.
As he watched the black hand descended on him, Wang Wei knew he would not survive this attack even with his current strength. So, he used one of his trump cards.
A mirror appeared on his hand. Without hesitation, he activated the Oracle Mirror and used one of its fundamental abilities–Copy. Zhen Chao used it to copy his strength, power, and ability.
So, he did the same with Di Tian. And given how the karma between them drastically increased after he killed Li Jun, he should have acquired a great deal of the latter’s power.
Sadly, the mirror has the same restrictions he had when Zhen Chao used it–it could not copy certain unique aspects, and Di Tian had a few unique aspects.
The first one is the Ten Supremacy Foundation. In the entire Chaos Universe, only two people have such a foundation, and he was the first to acquire it. Second, it’s his Nine– no, Ten–Samsara Baptism.
The third one is the Fiendgod Bloodline. Although it is a diluted bloodline, the miracle could not copy all its abilities and powers. Finally, the last unique aspect of him was his Samsara Pagoda.
Wang Wei expected this outcome, so he prepared for the worst-
case scenario. So, he used one of the first trump cards he created for Di Tian after his first defeat. It is a technique called:
[Fate is Unfair]
Some people are born with the highest achievement of another person who spent their entire lives accomplishing. Some people are born talented, instantly learning things that take others years of sweat, effort, and pain to master.
Talent, luck, and background are some of the many ways Fate uses to control people, determining their fate and achievement.
Wang Wei learned this truth in his first battle during the Spirit Trial. He learned an evading method from a gladiator who spent years honing his skills between life and death. However, with his talent, he learned it in a matter of minutes.
So, this technique was based on this fact. After casting it to boost the mirror, it became easier for Wang Wei to acquire all of Di Tian’s power and ability–simply because he is an unparalleled genius blessed by fate.
Boom!
His strength drastically increased after acquiring 95% of Di Tian’s power. However, he did not block the Death Hand and continued to evade. Luckily, things were now easier with his current ability.
Then, the two looked at each other across the distance, each with their own deep thoughts.
‘It seems I must use that technique.’
[The Ninth Samsara Fist: Ruler of Samsara]
Di Tian did not want to do so because he always felt something terrible would happen, and there might be severe consequences. But now, he had no choice.
As he looked at Wang Wei, who was still weaker than him, he felt a deep threat, but he could not understand the source. So, he decided to hesitate no longer.
The Six Gates or Paths of Samsara appeared behind Di Tian, followed by the Phantom of Hell, the Book of Life and Death, the Pen of Judgment, the Bridge of Remembrance, and the Wheel of Samsara. They all formed a circle around his pagoda as a strange magic circle appeared before Di Tian.
Wang Wei’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly sat cross-legged, closing his eyes. Many people wondered what these two were doing.
‘Let’s begin,’ thought Wang Wei. ‘This world had assimilated me too deeply, so I never considered it. However, the thought process should have been obvious: Why do I need the Heaven Will to prove the Dao?
‘In many of the novels I’ve read on Earth with similar settings, my fellow reincarnators rarely do not rely on themselves to become Emperor. So, why did I never try to do the same?’
He focused his mind as he began creating a path from his Law Altar that seemed to lead nowhere.
‘The rules of this world are strict, and there are many limitations. So, my mindset has always been that it’s impossible to do such a thing. However, my achievement of Ten Supremacy proves that rules are not absolute.
‘Furthermore, even if it was impossible, I should have tried. Luckily, it’s not too late.’
Wang Wei already had a method to succeed. In Ji Lanfang’s world, he acquired the Dao Treading Cultivation System. He once analyzed that the creator of this system wanted to create a method for people to prove the Dao or become Dao Ancestor without any foreign aid.
He failed, but Wang Wei knew he had a chance at success. He took the idea of the last realm of creating a Heaven Path that leads to the Grand Dao Source.
He created the Heaven Path, using his Grand Dao Source Comprehension to connect to the Grand Dao Source directly. Finally, Wang Wei found a barrier, restricting him from moving forward.
He pushed the barrier forward, and Wang Wei discovered his comprehension reached 4.91%. So, he kept pushing, using his comprehension, Dao Body, soul, Dao Heart, and even fleshly body to break the limit.
With persistent effort, his comprehension reached 4.99%, but he did not break the last barrier.
‘The last step,’ he thought excitedly, ignoring the danger outside. He gathered the power of his Pseudo Dao Will and Will Manifestation, fusing them into his True Will.
Without hesitation, he attacked those restrictions.
Boom!
He felt something shaking in his mind. Upon closer observation, it was as if his attempt was futile. However, his senses told him he was in the right direction. So, he mobilized more of his Willpower, even to the detriment of his body.
Crack!
Wang Wei sensed a tiny crack on this limitation.
‘My way is correct. Willpower, no, even True Will, is the power that can create miracles.’
Wang Wei’s body began to crack as he mobilized most of his hidden Willpower.
Boom!
He forcefully broke through his limitations, and his comprehension reached 5%.
Immediately afterward, a unique chain appeared on the Grand Dao Source as Wang Wei’s Fate Dominating Dao or Absolute Freedom Fate Dao was accepted by the universe.
He felt his chain was connected to an even more powerful chain, probably the original Fate Dao that belonged to the 3800 Origin Dao of the Chaos Universe.
Then, a strange rune deeply connected to him appeared before engraving itself on the chain.
‘Is that my Dao Imprint?’ thought Wang Wei before a mysterious power entered his body. In an instant, he felt a tremendous change. His Dao Body was no longer an embryo and could even [Awakening].
His Soul and Fleshly Body underwent a baptism, granting him an [Immortal Essence]. From now on, he did not have to worry about his lifespan as he was both immortal and eternal.
Wang Wei opened his eyes in time to see Di Tian had summoned a hand. Unlike the previous black hand, this one was human and had skin as white as snow. Furthermore, with the long nails and delicate features, it was very likely to be a woman’s hand.
Wang Wei was momentarily scared shitless until he realized Di Tian only summoned a projection with probably one decillionth of the owner’s power.
And that’s probably an underestimation.
‘What a great technique,’ he commented. Such a technique was beyond anything he had created. Although he could tell, it was only possible because of Di Tian’s countless reincarnations and time spent researching Samsara.
‘Unfortunately, you’re too late.’
He used Wuji Dao to bless his fleshly body, temporarily entering the second stage of nothingness: [Void].
Boom!
The hand passed through him, leaving him intact.
‘Still injured, huh,’ muttered Wang Wei as he looked at the necrotic part of his left arm. Even with his current body, which is the level of pure concept, he was severely injured as that part died.
‘Is this the power of one of the taboos? I don’t think even Maitreya and that bastard reached such a level. Have these people reached transcendence, or are they still walking on that path but are not quite yet there?”
Wang Wei shook his head, knowing it was not the time for such a thing. He no longer hesitated and removed the dead parts before regenerating them.
He looked at Di Tian, his eyes extremely calm. He waved his hand, and the latter passed out without much resistance. Di Tian was already at his breaking point after using that technique, so he was powerless.
Wang Wei turned his head, and as expected, a purple-gold orb floated before him.
“The Heaven Will,” he muttered with a smile. Without hesitation, he absorbed it.
The Path of Eternal Emperor was open to him.
