Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Chapter 854  Rematch (I)

Di Tian felt an uncontrollable anger rise from deep in his heart after that bastard used his own words against him. Although he knew the latter did it on purpose to rile him up, he could not help it.

Back then, that cocky little bastard was nothing but an ant struggling to survive before him. But now, he could look and talk to him with contempt and disdain.

Di Tian took a deep breath to calm down. He focused on removing all distracting thoughts, giving all his attention to this battle. The first thing he did was forcibly close the wound on his chest, but it did not mean he was healed.

'The Dao Will Knot Technique,' thought Di Tian as he felt his opponent's Duyi Realm inside his body. There are many uses or applications of the Dao Will and, in turn, the Duyi Realm.

And one of the categories of these applications is how to prevent the enemy from removing the Will from their bodies. And that's where the Knotting Technique originated from.

By condensing the Dao Will into a shape similar to a knot, it makes it ten times to a hundred times more challenging to remove it.

'Dao Will is inherently difficult to control, let alone the more rigid Duyi Realm. Even our current Pseudo Dao Will should be difficult to use such a technique, yet his was flawless.

'Furthermore, knowledge about the Duyi Realm has almost become extinct in this era. How did he recreate them? Is his talent so much different than mine?'

For the first time in a long time, Di Tian felt resentful. His talent was amongst the best–even in his era, which was full of geniuses. However, compared to monsters like Empress Wu and Wang Wei, he can only feel despair.

'No, something is not right,' he thought, and his mind became clearer. 'That bastard left a spiritual hint on me to secretly influence my mind.'

He understood that the previous tactic and injury were not simply to weaken him. His opponent was a mastermind tactician, and any of his actions will have countless effects, many unforeseen or undetectable.

All these thoughts flashed in Di Tian's mind in less than a nanosecond. Then, he saw Wang Wei's smirking face rushing toward him, his fighting aura and bloodlust at an all-time high.

Boom!

Wang Wei's fist, boosted by the power of his Pseudo Dao Will, clashed with Di Tian's cross arm, also protected by his Pseudo Dao Will. And the result was that the ancient powerhouse was sent a few dozen meters away, with his bone more painful than it had ever been.

'His fleshly body is more powerful than me, by at least 6 or 7 Fiendgod Force. And adding his more subtle control of his Dao Will, my bones won't last long in a direct confrontation.'

Di Tian's mind once again became turbulent. How long did it take him to reach such a level? The knowledge from 10 lives, and cultivating for 9. He spent years training, learning, struggling, and innovating before having today's achievement.

And yet, in one short generation, someone else caught on with him and surpassed him.

"Fate is really unfair, isn't it?" suddenly said Wang Wei, who seemed capable of reading his mind.

Bang!

The space of the four quadrants shook and twisted as Wang Wei's kick was like an unparalleled ax slashing Primordial Chaos into two. Then, his attack was followed by a subtle sound of cracking.

'By bones are cracked,' thought Di Tian, who managed to reign in his thoughts. 'Not only is his fleshly body and Dao Will higher than mine, but even his control over his body is also higher.'

His current achievement is that he can control every atom and subatomic particle of his body. However, from those two attacks, he sensed Wang Wei had reached another realm; a realm where he could control his [Essence], which is the source of the flesh, just like [Spirit] is for the soul, and [Qi] is for all energy between Heaven and Earth.

Di Tian summarized all his opponent's abilities while coming up with ways or methods to deal with them. During such a short period, his bones had already healed to their perfect state.

After his injury, he already knew how to deal with his opponent–prevent the latter's Pseudo Dao Will from entering his body and deactivating his regenerating factor.

"I have to say, you are much weaker than I anticipated," said Wang Wei while shaking his head. "I'm quite disappointed."

"And you have allowed such short success to get to your head."

"You think so? Well, it's only human nature to indulge in one's success. In that case, why don't you show me the errors of my way."

'Calm down, calm down, calm down. He's only antagonizing you,' thought Di Tian repeatedly in his mind to ensure his rationality. The power of Samsara flashed from his body as a gate manifested behind.

Wang Wei recognized this gate as it appeared on a previous battlefield: The Animal Hall.

As the gate opened, a terrifying creature walked out. It was a colossal elephant with scale all over its body, two dragon horns, and his trunk looked like a dragon's body.

'Chaos Life Form–Dragon Elephant,' pondered Wang Wei. Not many things about this powerful creature are known, except for a few legends. Rumors have it that this creature used its physical body alone to suppress the entirety of Samsara independently.

The Dragon Elephant fused with Di Tian, turning into a tattoo on his chest. Then, his aura drastically increased. He gazed at Wang Wei, full of bloodlust.

'In the end, you still fell for it,' thought Wang Wei, his mind extremely calm. Di Tian's fleshly body and physical prowess were not on par with him. So, the best course of action would be to switch to another field that he had the advantage.

But no, instead, he used a technique to boost his stats and compete with Wang Wei. And in this process, he had already lost the rhythm of the battle.

The space shattered as it could bear the physical force released by Di Tian as he used it as standing to accelerate forward. And his punch contained a suppressing power that transcends gravity, forcing space-time from fluctuating or releasing any curvature.

Bang!

Wang Wei raised his left hand to block the attack. However, upon immediate contact, he detected the force behind it was beyond his means. So, he acted calmly as he used his [Pig Zodiac Technique].

He absorbed the force that went beyond his capability and stored them in his acupoints. Then, in an instant, he used his right to release them by punching Di Tian's head.

Di Tian swiftly evaded such a terrifying punch capable of destroying trillions of galaxies with little to no effort. Subsequently, he released a force that pushed his opponent a small distance from him.

Finally, he appeared above Wang Wei, using a drop kick that resembled an ax slashing anything beneath it. Wang Wei secretly shook his head after seeing this.

[Ox Zodiac]

The power his body could exert drastically increased as he clashed head-on with Di Tian's foot.

Boom!

A terrifying storm composed of chaotic space and time energy manifested from the place of contact of these two Gods–no, Great Emperors. And in the final result, Wang Wei took a dozen steps back into the void before stopping.

"Now, we are talking," said Wang Wei with a smug look. "However, let me warn you first, if that's the only thing you have, you will barely count as an opponent."

"It seems your arrogance has no limit."

"It's called confidence," replied Wang Wei before rushing over, his that it appeared as if he was not moving to the untrained eyes. Di Tian returned his arrogance and aggressiveness by returning speed faster than teleportation as he used the [Rabbit Zodiac].

Upon his arrival, he released a barrage of punches, his speed so fast that it appeared as if he was not moving to the untrained eyes. Di Tian returned his arrogance and aggressiveness by returning punches to punches.

In the first few punches, Wang Wei only used regular attacks. Then, he would focus all the forces in his body on a point before exploding them, like the big bang.

This technique drastically increased his attack potency. However, Di Tian was not outdone as he used the same technique. After living so long, he knows how to use his forces properly.

And the result was a draw.

With the Dragon-Elephant, Di Tian's physical prowess is technically above Wang Wei. However, he made up for the gap by simply using his higher boost using his Pseudo Dao Will and higher manipulation of his body.

Amid this barrage, Wang Wei used his [Rat Zodiac] to create a clone that appeared on Di Tian's right. The latter reacted swiftly by releasing a terrifying suppressing power that crushed the clone into oblivion.

'A flaw,' thought Wang Wei as he took advantage of Di Tian's brief distraction to punch directly into the previous place he was injured.
