Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1286 Plunder (III)



Chapter 1286  Plunder (III)

'That's the power of nothingness,' Wang Wei thought. He focused, and as expected, that's the power he was familiar with. The dragon palace used [Nothingness] to create this potent killing formation. If there were any other people involved, they might die or, at the minimum, be severely injured after dealing with such power. Unfortunately for them, they met Wang Wei.

'This is a great opportunity,' Wang Wei realized. Nothingness-based formations are extremely rare because of the materials required and the fact that most Array Masters refused to install them due to the danger. Unless they spent years studying it, most array masters are unfamiliar with this kind of power, meaning it's easy for them to make mistakes in the installation process. However, the slightest mistake also means their deaths and everyone/everything around them.

'By controlling that formation, I can gather enough [Nothingness Power] to condense my wheel and enter the Battle Taboo Realm,' Wang Wei analyzed with excitement. 'It seems my luck is on the uptake.'

As soon as Wang Wei had these thoughts, he paused as he realized something. 'Besides a few minor setbacks, my luck has constantly risen since my ascension. And after today's haul — no, after my training with the future wife — it should reach its peak.' He squinted.

After luck reaches its peak, there is only one way for it to go — down. In other words, Wang Wei can already predict that his life will not be so good once he's done training with Wu Hong.

'I must be ready,' he thought. He realized that Supreme Unity was the only person who could truly make his life miserable. In other words, the latter should be making a significant move soon. A sense of urgency suddenly loomed over Wang Wei. However, he also understood this was not the time to be worrying.

He no longer wasted time being distracted and summoned his Nothingness Wheel to control the upcoming power, allowing their team to navigate this killing array unharmed.

'He used [Nothingness] for his flesh enlightenment? How crazy is this guy,' Mongke thought as he saw how Wang Wei dealt with this situation. The barbarian race is masters of body refiners, so they've tried a few times to walk the Path of Nothingness throughout their history.

Unfortunately, everyone brave enough to use that concept—except for one—died tragically as their bodies, souls, and Dao were extinguished by the very power they had tried to control. The only survivor was an Inextinguishable Paragon who wanted to change his concept from [Eternity] to [Nothingness].

To that barbarian's credit, he made excellent achievements in the Path of Nothingness during his attempt. His achievements were even higher than Wang Wei. According to Wang Wei's division of the Power Nothingness, there are four stages: Intangible, Void, Emptiness, and True Nothingness.

Wang Wei was currently at the peak of the Void Stage, and once he achieves Taboo with this power, he'll enter the Emptiness Stage. That barbarian reached the peak of the Emptiness Stage. Sadly, he made the same mistake as everyone who tried to walk this path — trying to control True Nothingness in one step.

According to Wang Wei's recent speculations, he'll only achieve True Nothingness after entering the Half-Step Transcendent Realm. That barbarian did not understand this and almost died in his attempt to control True Nothingness. Luckily, he was a wise man and controlled his greed. At the last moment, he abandoned this path despite it looking like he was so close.

While Mongke and Dulgun — the only ones who recognized Wang Wei's feat — were in awe of his actions and accomplishment, the latter finally led the team into the dragon palace. However, Mongke learned an essential lesson from this experience — only crazy people can become Anomaly level talents.

'There is no need for me to hesitate any longer,' Mongke thought. He listened to Wang Wei's suggestion that he may need to enter the Taboo Battle Realm to be considered an Anomaly, and he's been deducing a technique to do so. He succeeded with his Supreme Chaos Treasure, which helps people create techniques. However, only partially, since all his calculations said he would explode and die instead of increasing his fighting abilities.

His wife, usually the voice of reason, convinced him to take things slow and not rush into trying this method. He agreed with her, but now, he decided to rush things by asking Wang Wei for advice. Although that would result in him releasing information about a technique that allowed someone to achieve taboo, he did not care. This technique is flawed, and he might never finish it without proper guidance.

After entering the dragon palace, Wang Wei saw a small army of a thousand men waiting for them. This army was the same as the illusion, except this one was real. No, they were more potent since they were all Empyreans. However, he did not want to waste more time, so he annihilated them with one staff smash. Now, he needed to ponder what their next step was.

Wang Wei wanted to go directly to the central array hub to control the Nothingness Array. However, he knew this was not the best utilization of their manpower. Since he tasked Red Mask with a mission, he should trust her to succeed.

"We will divide from here," Wang Wei said. "I'll go to the treasury to secure it. Mongke, your task is controlling the Alchemy Room and the other professions. Capture these professions alive. We need them to work for us."

Wang Wei was in desperate need of capable professionals, especially after today's event. The people from the Changing Fate Hall have amassed an absurd amount of resources, so there is the possibility they'll stop relying on the hall — at least, not for a couple hundred thousand yuan epochs.

Luckily, Wang Wei had predicted this and prepared. He sent his people to accompany these mercenaries. He tasked them to focus on taking finished products during the raid and leave the rare materials or resources to the hall members. He did this so these people would have no choice but to rely on the hall to turn these rare resources into finished products like pills, talismans, and artifacts.

However, he also needed many professionals for his plans to work, so he targeted Blood Dragon's team.

"I can go with him," the Flame Blacksmith suggested.

"No problem," Wang Wei said. "Dulgun, your task is the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Puppet Demon will be under your management. Jia Ping, your goal is the Blood Dragon's cultivation room."

The second prince's eyes lit up as he realized the importance of such a find. Any places that a higher being like Paragon has cultivated for so long will be embedded with an incalculable amount of Dao Rhymes, turning it into a cultivation holy land. Not to mention, there must be countless precious arrays in such a place to accelerate Blood Dragon's practice.

"Flesh and Poison Demon, your task is to find where the Blood Dragon kept his Luck Condensing Artifact. He might have kept it on him, so it's fine if you don't find it." Wang Wei was convinced that the Blood Dragon's personal dimension was in Xun Junyao's hands, so he did not search for it.

"The rest of you need to make as much noise as possible to distract and disperse their forces," Wang Wei continued. "Especially you, Curse Demon. Spread a nasty curse around to cause chaos."

"As you wish, boss."

Wang Wei nodded. There were plenty more crucial areas in this place—for example, the library or the unique secret realms with rare resources or training experiences. However, these things could be left for later after securing these main areas and controlling the palace. The last thing he wanted was for the remains of the Blood Dragon people to destroy these areas out of spite and leave them with nothing.

Wang Wei was about to disperse the group when he thought of something. He pointed at everyone and released a gray light into their bodies. "You might encounter a Tier 12 Creation Lifeform, and this should send you away to safety."

Wang Wei was not sure whether Blood Dragon had cultivated any Tier 12 creation creatures. It's possible since creations cannot disobey their creators. However, it's also possible the dragon was paranoid, and out of fear of being betrayed and having his power usurped, he never created any. After all, although Creation Lifeforms can't betray their master on their own, it's something else if someone intervenes. Although rare, it's not as rare as an Eternals's [Avatar] betraying them.

"Alright, let's move," Wang Wei said before disappearing. He broke through countless spatial layers and a few dimensions before finding the treasury location. And, as expected, there was a gatekeeper, which surprised him slightly.

'A Dao Monarch,' Wang Wei thought. 'And an Insurgent?' He was confused because this man did pose a threat to him, but it was very low. 'That can only mean he's using a Paragon Artifact to become an Insurgent.'

Wang Wei focused. Although this kind of [Insurgent] was the lowest level, and many people do not even acknowledge their status, he would still take it seriously.
