Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter ?491 Cave Heaven

Chapter 491 Cave Heaven

Zhen Chao rushed toward Wang Wei with his superior speed. Luckily for the latter, he was only slower, but his reaction time was on par, if not better, so Wang Wei could react in time.

[Pain of The Heart]

As Zhen Chao swung his saber and it clashed with Wang Wei's fist. At first, it appeared that it did not do any damage, but this attack ignored his defense and went straight for his heart.

Knowing that his current weakened self could not tank this attack, Wang Wei had to change status. So, he created a barrier of Origin Essence to protect his heart.

At the same time, when the two clashed, Wang Wei's eyes turned black as he fired his Heavenly Destruction Flame in the form of laser eyes and burned a hole a few centimeters deep into Zhen Chao's body.

Zhen Chao ignored his severe injury and swung his blade once again.

[Tear of Despair]

This saber attack was a spiritual one that focused on illusion. So, after hitting Wang Wei, he experienced the intense pain and despair that Zhen Choa experienced as he watched his family die one after the other.

Unfortunately, with his Spiritual Power, this attack was nothing but a joke to him. It was evident that Zhen Chao was so angry that his state of mind was greatly affected; otherwise, he would never make such a low-level mistake.

Nevertheless, this was Wang Wei's chance, so he took this opportunity to annihilate his opponent.

[Chaos Flame Calamity]

A strange flame enveloped Zhen Chao to burn him into ashes; the flame would change color everything second. It had no visible or noticeable temperature, yet, it seemed capable of burning everything in existence.

Despite not being in a sane mind, Zhen Chao still had some battle instinct he could rely on. So, the moment he saw the flame, he used the technique [Flame Freedom] to counter Wang Wei's Chaos Flame.

And to some extent, he did. He blocked some of the flame but not all of it. His left turned into ashes. Then he swung his saber to create a moon-shaped slash.

[Defense Freedom Slash]

This attack ignored Wang Wei's external defensive shield before targeting his soul, inner organs, and cells to destroy him on a cellular level. Even the Origin Essence Barrier he made to protect himself seemed to be ignored.

So, he further condensed his energy to temporarily reach a high level before recreating the Energy Shield in the targetted parts; this method was feasible as it slow downed the attack, but he was still injured.

'This Zhen Chao's fleshly body is quite powerful, probably on par with Lin Fan,' thought Wang Wei when he saw the hole inside his stomach had healed, and he regrew his arm.

'Plus, he seemed to have some strange method to remove the Duyi Realm Power from his body.'

Wang Wei then began to observe the surroundings to gather more knowledge; he had previously noticed that the space around was unnatural. No matter what attack he used or how often their powers clashed, the space never broke: only a few small gaps would appear.

Additionally, he noticed Zhen Chao was slowly becoming more and more powerful with time, and the boost of his strength seemed to come from the surrounding, similar to using the power of Heaven and Earth.

After gathering all the information together, Wang Wei concluded something:

'This should be another cultivation's system version of a Saint's Domain. However, no matter how powerful a Domain is, it should still have some limits. Even in cultivation systems that cultivate Universes inside their bodies, their Worlds will not be so solid and sturdy. So, I'm missing something important.'

While Wang Wei analyzed the situation, he tried to evade Zhen Chao's mad attacks. At first, he could avoid the slashes, but Zhen Chao's attacks became free from [distance] or [traveling] and directly reached him.

So, he had to create hundreds or thousands of Energy Barriers inside his body with Condense Origin Essence to block them. And despite this, blood still trickled down the corner of his mouth.

'No more wasting time,' thought Wang Wei. He controlled the Innate Qi inside his Divine Sea from the Qi Flower to prepare for an ultimate attack; it was a shame that he previously used most of it.

To nurture his Acupoints to the point of condensing a black hole, Wang Wei needed a lot of time. So, he created a shortcut by combining Star Powers with Innate Qi, drastically reducing the time. So, he only had a little of all the Innate Qi he condensed after thousand of years.

He used half the Innate Qi to power up the seal he placed on the Dragon Binding Grass poison to temporarily rendered it useless. He then used the second half to wash his fleshly body and return to his peak state for a few seconds.

Wang Wei then instantly appeared in front of Zhen Chao–who was midway through a swinging action of his saber. A purple aura appeared around Wang Wei's fist as he punched.

[Destruction Energy Fist]

The purple aura combined all the elements or attributes that he knew: Light, Darkness, Shadow, Flame, Thunder, Vibration, Slaughter, Death Qi, Innate Qi, Space, et cetera.

Given the situation, he created this technique to deal with Zhen Chao during this battle. Furthermore, he managed to use the 2 Dragon Elephant Force of his fleshly body behind this attack; Wang Wei even used his Young Emperor's Pseudo-Domain to reduce Zhen Chao's power by half.

Boom!

The entire space shook heavily before Zhen Chao flew to the ground. Before reaching the ground, his body exploded into nothingness, not even leaving a single drop of blood.

Only his head survived and crashed to the ground.

Wang Wei frowned as he felt most of his attack was directed to another place, which saved Zhen Chao and even protected his soul. So, he did not hesitate before rushing toward the remaining head to destroy it.

However, before arriving, the head disappeared, and Wang Wei could not sense it anywhere. Then, he instantly used the technique he learned from Su Ya to locate people based on a special aura their emotions released.

So, he flew to a mountain a hundred thousand kilometers away. In the normal eyes, there was nothing in this mountain, but his eyes could see a separate space, so he punched to destroy it.

Wang Wei saw a perfectly intact Zhen Chao who kept muttering something to himself; what's more concerning is this Zhen Chao's eyes are cleared, no longer clouded in hatred and negative emotions.

"I pursuit a higher self: a self free from pain, despair, and grievance, a self free from the trauma of the past," muttered Zhen Chao for the third and final time before looking at Wang Wei calmly and saying:

"Using your words to bring the darkness from my heart; this technique should be from your mother's sutra. Adding it to your ability to get to affect people's minds with your words, what a terrifying combination."

He trained himself for years to prevent his opponent from taking advantage of his state of mind. Yet, he still almost died in the end.

p????-?0??? "I'm curious about something: why do you know so much about me?" asked Wang Wei, wanting to buy time. His body had returned to his original weak state; no, he was now even weaker than before.

The poison's adaptability was even more severe than anticipated; it adapted to the Innate Qi and removed the seal inside his body. Moreover, this poison became even fiercer after contacting the Innate Qi inside his body; it was like a starving ghost that finally discovered food and water after days of traveling in the desert without any provisions.

"Of course, Wu Hong told me," replied Zhen Chao."

With a calm look on his face, Wang Wei said: "You know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Unfortunately, a fake will never be the same as the original."

"Haha, you're right," said Zhen Chao.

'Things have gotten out of control,' he thought. 'By now, his fleshly body would have been completely useless, and his Infinite Divine Sea empty. However, somehow, he seemed to have infinite Origin Essence.'

He knew his information would not be 100% accurate, but things have deviated way more than expected. Zhen Chao suddenly began to question how easily it was to gather that information–especially after what Wang Wei said about being a pawn.

However, he realized he did not care. So what if he was a pawn? As long as he could kill this man. Anyways, he has done worse things.

'Let's use that trump cards.'

A mirror appeared in front of Zhen Chao, and from that mirror came a transparent figure of Wang Wei, who then fused with Zhen Chao. Immediately, his aura drastically increased.

Then, the power of fate flashed across his eyes. Zhen Chao clenched his hand to feel the power flowing inside his body.

"Is this how powerful you are? And an anomaly as well. Although I have all your spiritual strength, the quality of my soul could barely reach 10% of yours. You truly are a monster," he said.

"Well, it does not matter," said Zhen Chao, smiling so brilliantly that all his white and shining teeth were displayed. "It will be very cathartic to kill you with your own power."

Wang Wei looked calm on the surface while secretly cursing on the inside; he did not even know how this bastard could copy his power without his detection.

More importantly, he had to find a way to survive long enough for his plan to succeed. His intuition told him that this was not close to being Zhen Chao's final trump card.
