Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 418: The Fate of The Chess Pieces

Great Elder Yang had a serious look on his face after seeing Wang Wei. With his ability, he could tell this old man’s root bone was only 1000 years old, and the reason he appeared as such was because of lifespan overdraft.

A 1000 years was not long, even in the Beginning Profound Continent since Profound Law Realm powerhouses could live for more than 100,000 years.

This meant that this person belonged to the younger generation and might be some Heaven Chosen of some family. Of course, what shocked him the most was the latter’s strength.

‘Young master, we are in deep trouble,’ said the Great Elder through Divine Sense Communication.

Without any change in his face, he replied, ‘What do you mean?’ Unlike the people of this world, the Heaven Chosen of the Beginning Profound Continent can open their Sea of Consciousness in the Profound Master Realm (Tier 4).

‘This person’s strength is enough to instantly kill the two of us?’

‘What? Then, what do we do?’

‘Be prepared to use the Teleportation Runes that the sect gave you to save your life and I will buy you enough time. Before that, we will try not to conflict with him.’

‘What about the mission we came here for?’

‘Let’s see how the situation plays out.’

Then, something appeared on Great Elder Yang’s forehead; it was a dragon coiled in a circle. In the middle of the circle were six vertical stripes.

“Yang Yi, Unspoken Dao Sect, Beginning Profound Continent, I have seen fellow Daoist.”

After seeing the mark on the person’s forehead, Wang Wei quickly recognized what it was; it was something he learned from the Sect’s Secret Archive.

This mark was referred to as Dao Lineage Mark, and it was invented as a way for people from different Heaven Will to identify the fact that they were from Emperor Lineages.

This way, it was easier to know each other’s identities and avoid creating enemies for their relative sect, and also a way to show a person’s background and brag at the same time.

“Tong He, Young Profound Master of the Unspoken Dao Sect,” said the young man while also showing his mark.

Wang Wei nodded his head as he remembered the way to create the mark. The most common method is to connect to the sect’s Qi Luck to manifest the mark.

Then, a dragon also appeared on his forehead, however, he had 9 vertical stripes in the middle unlike the other’s six.Â

“Wang Wei, Sacred Son of the Dao Opening Sect, Myriad Emperor World.”

And as soon as Great Elder Yang saw the nine stripes, his eyes squinted slightly as he knew that the background of the opponent might be better than theirs.

Unlike the Myriad Emperor World, the sects in the Beginning Profound Continent are very active in the Endless Void. So, Great Elder Yang knew that although not all of them, many Heaven Will had a Nine Emperor Curse to balance the overall development of the world.

As such, Nine Emperors is the limit that some sects can reach. And there are only two ways for this curse to be lifted: one is to have a terrifying Heaven Chosen that forcefully breaks the curse and becomes their sect’s 10th Emperor.

Or, wait until nine other sects cultivate Nine Great Emperors, then, Heavenly Dao will remove the curse and allows for fair competition.

“Wait, young master, you said that you’re from the Myriad Emperor World?”

“That’s correct. Is there a problem?”

Of course, there is a problem. The Myriad Emperor World is one of the most powerful Heaven Will Worlds in the Endless Void with the third most number of Eternal Emperors. To be precise, they are tied for second place with 8.

And there are rumors that they have given birth to even more, but many of them died or erased their existence from the world for some reason. On top of all that, Great Elder Yang knew that three of their Eternal Emperors–the Sword Empress, the Absolute Beginning Emperor, and Empress Wu–have accomplished things that affected all worlds in the Endless Void.

The name of these people is forever remembered by many Heaven Will Worlds across many World Communities. Although in recent years, the Myriad Emperor has adopted a closed-door policy and rarely interacted with other World Communities, they are still famous.

“I have heard the name of Sword Empress, the Absolute Beginning Emperor, and Empress Wu.”

“Huh? I never knew that our founding ancestor was so famous.” Wang Wei was not lying. He could guess the previous two were famous because of what they did to Buddhism and the Devil Race.

However, he did not know why the Sword Empress was so famous. He decided to check it out when he returned.

“Founding Ancestor?”

“The Sword Empress.”

Great Elder’s lisp almost twitched when he heard that as he realized he might have kicked an iron bucket.

“Young Master Wang Wei, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but…”

Wang Wei nodded his head, then, the Dao Lineage Mark appeared on his forehead again, this time, however, two of the stripes had stars on them.

Both Great Elder Yang and Tong He almost fainted when they saw this. [One Sect, Two Eternal Emperor]. They knew that the Dao Lineage Mark could not be fake, so this person was truly from such a sect.

To them, this was truly a shock to their world views. In the entire history of the Beginning Profound Continent, excluding the events that occurred before the Era of Strife (also called the Null Era), only one Eternal Emperor has ever been born in their world.

And they knew that in some Heaven Will, no Eternal Emperors have never appeared. This means, in the trillion upon trillion years of history of these worlds, not a single individual managed to become an Eternal Emperor.

But now, they met a sect that has 2 of them.

Great Elder took a deep breath internally to calm down.

‘Could it be that the sect behind him is intervening in this community?’ he thought to himself. ‘No. Based on his current situation, he obviously is the Heaven Chosen cultivated to become this generation’s Emperor.

‘Such a powerful sect would never allow their geniuses to be in such a terrible shape of lifespan deficiency. So, that only means that it might be an accident for him to come here. This could explain why he was stealing World Source, most likely to heal his injuries.’

After thinking about all of this, he managed to calm himself down somewhat, so he continued his train of thought.

‘The Myriad Emperor World, in general, has been in great decline for a long time, to the point of completely removing their presence on the world stage of the Endless Void.Â

‘Even if they wanted to make a comeback, it would be in their best interest to start with a World Community closer to them. So, this kid is very likely waiting for his sect to come to pick him up.

‘In conclusion, the mission of the sect should be able to be completed. Even if the Dao Opening Sect intervened in this world, our sect still has the home advantage and can deal with them.

‘Plus, if everything else failed, the sect can still ally with other sects to fight them. After all, no Heaven Will World would allow others to easily intervene in their community.

‘And if all that fails, we can just give them this world as a last resort. After all, there are thousands of worlds in that level in this community.’

All these thoughts flashed across Elder Yang’s mind in less than a second. He then cupped his hand before saying: “Forgive me, young master, if I have insulted you. I have to be careful.”

Wang Wei nodded to him to indicate that he did not mind. He already guessed the reason these two people came to see him. Nothing but to stop him while the other people of the Unspoken Sect dealt with Zhou Shu.

For their plans to work, the status of the Son of Destiny can only be in their hands, no one else; and that’s because the Son of Destiny is the person with the highest chance of receiving the Dao Source Seed from Heavenly Dao.

Unfortunately, after these people met him, they realized that they were not his opponent, so they began to use their status to put pressure on Wang Wei. After all, he was on their turf and a long way from home.

After figuring things out, he decided to give up on Zhou Shu. Although he could kill these two or imprisoned them, however, what about the sect behind them?

What if they already prepared in case something happened to him? Wang Wei was not foolish enough to fight any Emperor Lineage on his own–especially in his current state.

So, he made the rational decision to give up on Zhou Shu and stopped his plan. However, he did not give up on Chu Mo as he had more use.

With a calm demeanor, he led the two of them into his small hut in the sun. Although it looked small from the outside, Wang Wei placed Space Distortiong Array inside so it is bigger on the inside.

As soon as the two entered the hut, Tong He screamed: “Ouch!”

Everyone looked at him and find out that he had impaled his foot on one of the countless objects on the floor.

“Sorry, I was refining something, so the room is a mess,” said Wang Wei as he waved his hand to make all the things on the floor disappeared. Great Elder Yang guessed that this person was warning them not to do anything stupid, so he quickly said:

“We understand,” before giving a pill to Tong He to heal his injuries. Although the latter was angry and frustrated, he dare not say anything.

After that, the three of them had a long and cordial conversation. At some point, he felt that Zhou Shu had died, and even his Qi Luck was forcefully absorbed from him.

He did not say anything or show any change in his facial expression. He only ensure that all the things inside Zhou Shu’s space ring were transported to his, along with his spirit particles and other things.

Once everything was finished, the other two people left the sun and returned to the Unspoken Sect. And as soon as these people left, Wang Wei waved his hand and a screw with blood appeared in front of him.

“With this Tong He’s blood, I should be able to find the Karma Thread that connects him to the Beginning Profound Continent and find its coordinate. It’s time to plant a chess piece there.”

Blood Sea Prefecture:

Chu Mo was in deep meditation as a blood light was crawling inside his veins making him look like a demon. Suddenly, he heard a sound deep in his mind:

[Ding…Detecting a great danger is approaching the host…calculating…It is determined that the host can’t survive no matter what course of action is taken…processing…Activating backup protocol to ensure the survival of the host.

[Host, do you want to Implement one of the 36 Strategems: Running Away. Yes/No.]

‘System, what is going on?’

‘Host, there is no time to explain. Do you want to run away? Yes/No?’

‘Yes.’ Although he did not know the detail, Chu Mo would not take his life lightly. As soon as he chose yes, a white light enveloped him and he disappeared from his cultivating room.

And from now on, the infamous Demon Lord forever disappeared from the Heavenly Profound Continent. Rumors have it that he grew bored of conquest and he left the world, others said that he suffered a backlash from Cultivation Deviation and died in meditation, and there are also rumors that he was besieged and killed by all the other Demon Lords.

Nevertheless, he was never heard of again. Of course, his story did not end here.
