Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

1093 Another Possibility

It was an odd sensation for Wang Wei after figuring out this Error Dao technique; it reminded him back on Earth when he used a certain website when he was young, and the screen turned black, releasing an annoying sound with the word [Error] followed by a number plastered on the screen.

Wang Wei raised his hand to summon all the karmic thread connected to Emperor Jia before pulling him forward with them. The ancient emperor only moved a few meters before the karmic threads became rigid and refused to listen to others.

[Fated Destination]

Wang Wei appeared next to Emperor Jia to punch him. As expected, the latter's first instinct was to move away, but his attack was destined to hit, and since he had already made the wrong response, Wang Wei hit him on the head.

Crack!

A mirror appeared before Emperor Jia's head, trying to reflect the attack back to Wang Wei; this method succeeded, but a lot of the force from the attack forced Emperor Jia to take a few steps back, drawing blood from his nose.

'Defensive capabilities are superb, and his body is one step higher than mine, but he's not using it,' analyzed Wang Wei as his proving Dao artifact turned into a spear, and he threw it with enormous force. Emperor Jia waved his hand to deflect the weapon, but the spear turned into millions of silver needles that rushed toward him.

Emperor Jia's face turned ugly as he realized these things were not simple needles. They were each blessed with a single destiny: only one specific thing can block them. For example, one needle might require the power of thunder to block, the other might need vibration or death, and if any other things are used, these things would pass through the defense like a knife through butter.

Such a technique would require the individual to condense each needle individually, which would take a tremendous amount of time and patience. Emperor Jia's first instinct was to find a way to evade, but he controlled himself.

[World of Rune]

A black spot resembling a black hole the size of a tennis ball materialized before Emperor Jia, releasing millions of lights, each with a different attribute corresponding to the counter to these silver needles. However, these things were too fast, and a few dozen hit him, but he ensured they only touched non-vital parts while protecting his inside with his True Will.

'He's learning,' thought Wang Weii as he watched Emperor Jia's battle experience increase at an alarming rate. He gathered the power of his soul and released a terrifying Spiritual Arrow that broke all of Emperor Jia's spiritual protection and went directly to his soul.

Bang!

A terrifying wave of spiritual energy came out of nowhere and confronted the Spiritual Arrow. Wang Wei finally saw what had happened. A rune hung above the latter's Sea of Consciousness and opened a portal to somewhere full of Yin Energy.

'That's Samsara,' thought Wang Wei, recognizing what was on the other side of the portal and the source of all that energy. 'I was right. He used a spell to determine my biggest reliance and strength, and he discovered the pill, my soul, and something else - probably my Willpower. So, he prepared in advance how to deal with these things.'

Wang Wei's body moved on its own as it sensed danger, but a light pierced his left shoulder. Emperor Jia's pale face sighed in relief as he had time to heal the damage to his Sea of Consciousness while also going on the offensive.

Wang Wei looked at his bleeding shoulder. 'How long has it been since someone drew blood from me?' He wiped the blood with his right hand before tasting it. 'How I missed the sensation of being injured.' It was not the same when he injured himself during the Flesh Tribulations. He released a terrifying battle intent, increasing his battle strength by another 0.0000000000000000009.

He rushed toward Emperor Jia, and more hidden lights attacked him. He had already deduced that this technique was based on hidden words or meanings, so he did not detect any runes or attacks. The lights followed him, but he evaded, and the ones he could not detect or predict would accidentally miss him by a few margins or experience trillions of years before touching him.

Boom!

An enormous beam of light materialized out of nowhere and headed for Wang Wei, forcing him to block it with his palm. He resisted but could feel the skin in his hands rapidly burning.

'His battle experience is indeed increasing at an exponential rate? Is he regaining his memory?' analyzed Wang Wei. 'No, he's absorbed He Shiyi's experience, hence the rapid change.'

Wang Wei felt he was catching into something, but it was still eluding him.

'Want to play hiding in the shadows? Two can play at this game.' He decided to change tactics. The light beam eradicated every atom in his body, including his soul. Such a result should have been a victory for Emperor Jia, but he sensed things were not simple and remained on the highest alert.

[Heavenly Dao's Records]

Emperor Jia's eyes turned to Runes before looking around. He was rapidly swiping through the records of Heaven and Earth, digging through the universe's fundamental truths. He saw the enemy had used the concept that fate was invisible to become undetectable, but he could not see the person itself.

Swish!

Wang Wei appeared out of nowhere while swinging a gray sword. However, Emperor Jia moved his body, preventing the blade from cutting off his left arm. Although it left a gushing wound from his upper torso to his right hand, it was better than losing the arm.

'Hmm?' thought Wang Wei, surprised by how he successfully evaded this attack. For a moment, he thought Emperor Jia's intuition had reached such a level in such a short time in the battle. However, after seeing a creature made of runes flashed in his eyes, he understood.

'The Untouchable Cat,' Wang Wei knew the creature was an Innate Life called the Untouchable Cat, known for its Evading Law; the myth of the Untouchable Cat is that it has never been injured or touched as its body would instinctively evade all danger. Wang Wei speculated his ancestor, the Battle Maniac, created this technique after seeing one in his youth or the upper dimension.

All these thoughts flashed into Wang Wei's mind at an incalculable speed. As his enemy evaded the first strike, his body reacted and kicked Emperor Jia on his neck, sending him flying. He appeared next to the flying body to slash it again, but Emperor Jia dexterously moved his body to evade.

In this short period, he blessed himself with numerous techniques to improve his intuition, like Beast Intuition, Seventh Sense, Conscious Body, etc.

[World of Liar]

Wang Wei wanted to continue the initiative he had, but he found himself in a black cage. "This is..." he muttered. This technique was similar to his Fate Prison, except in this world, everything was a lie.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

You use your feet to walk-lie. Your hands are dextrous-a lie. You can defy gravity and fly-lie. You have a physical and tangible soul-lie. You have a mother and father-lie. You were born and will eventually die-lie.

Wang Wei felt his body, soul, mind, spirit, Dao, and everything else that made his existence rapidly crumble because all these things were not true. Even his memories began to self-destruct because they were no longer reliable; they were no longer true.

'Brilliant,' thought Wang Wei with difficulty.

[Yin-Yang Balance] Since there is a world of lies, there must also be a world of truths. When they are fused, only the real and normal universe exists-a world full of truths and lies. As the cage disintegrated, a dark beam of light was waiting for Wang Wei, but he smirked. He used a page from Emperor Jia's book by controlling [Truth] and [Lie] with his Yin-Yang Dao.

The new truth was that he was standing in Emperor Jia's position while the latter stood where he was; in other words, they exchanged positions. Bang! It was a direct hit, and once the attack ended, Emperor Jia was breathing heavily and had dark, burning-looking spots on his body.

'I was right. All his increased battle experience originated from He Shiyi. If so, why didn't his other reincarnations increase his Battle IQ?' Emperor Jia should be on his fifth reincarnation, so it was odd that his Battle IQ and experience were not the pinnacle given his displayed talent.

'The only explanation would be that he also sealed these memories, or...' Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he thought of another possibility. 'He's not a former Paragon. He was just a regular Heaven Chosen in the lower dimension who received the inheritance of a higher being, someone like Madman Chu, who explained how to cast the unique Dao Body that can enter the Taboo Realm.' It's very possible that the inheritance was directly from Madman Chu.

'He would have to stay hidden after his reincarnation not to garner True Heavenly Dao's attention. This would explain his lack of battle experience as he only participated in the Heaven Will Battle, crushing his opponents with high cultivation levels or battle prowess.'
