Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter ?498 Anger and Resentment

Chapter ?498 Anger and Resentment

Western White Tiger Continent, inside a sealed mountain:

Di Tian closed his eyes as he looked inside his Divine Sea, where there were 9 Law Altars. All the altars were in the form of a black and white wheel, and in the middle of the wheels had different symbols that represented various aspects of Samsara.

Beside each wheel was a towering golden tree, emanating intense Dao Rhymes. If anyone saw this scene, they would be shocked beyond measure.

In the Void Shattering Realm, cultivators plant a Law Seed that will grow into a tree based on their comprehension of the Law. However, the tree is usually all white with no other colors.

But Di Tian's Law Tree mutated because of his deep understanding of the laws and how much time he spends comprehending them in each reincarnation.

No matter how much he thinks he has reached the limit of Law Comprehension, after reincarnating, Di Tian will have a new understanding of the Laws that he previously did not. So, his understanding has reached a terrifying level.

After today's cultivation, he opened his eyes, full of excitement.

"The power of the Ninth Reincarnation is truly extraordinary. It seemed to be a few times stronger than all the 8 Reincarnations combined."

As he felt the strength inside his body, he knew he could currently defeat middle-level Immortal Venerable without yet absorbing the fleshly body strength of his past reincarnation.

Di Tian plans to cultivate this reincarnation's fleshly body to the peak before absorbing the strength of his past life.

"Once I reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm and absorb the power of my fleshly body, I should be able to defeat and kill some Dao Ancestors, thus breaking the gap between Immortal and Mortals."

Di Tian's eyes lit up after thinking about this before calming down. To him, to truly break that boundary would be if he could fight and defeat a Third Class Emperor; that when he would truly breach the gap between these Immortal Beings.

And the power of his Tenth Reincarnation might be able to help him achieve this legendary feat. He took a moment to calm down before preparing to temper his body.

The sealing formation was very accommodating; he could receive resources from the outside and even communicate. The only thing he could not do was leave.

Suddenly, Di Tian felt something and took out a Communication Talisman. He activated it, and he could see outside of the mountain, where shadowy figures stood politely.

"What is it?"

"Master, we have received important news. Sacred Son Wang Wei''s real body finally showed up back in the sect."

"And?"

The shadowy figure paused for a moment: "His fleshly body was destroyed, and-and-and he had the aura of an Overlord."

"What did you say?"

"We-we have sent people to verify the news, and it appears to be true."

"Is that so? Well, keep a watch on him and report any important news." Di Tian crushed the talisman in his hand, ending the conversation.

Boom!

He punched the interior of the mountain with all his strength. Unfortunately, a magic circle came to resist his attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Damn it, Damn it, Damn it," roared Di Tian as he continued punching the Sealing Array. "Everything started because of that damn trial. If it were not for it, she would have still been with me.

"No, if only I could have passed."

After going on a rampage for a few hours, Di Tian lay on the floor as he reminisced about his first life.

Once he began to create the "perfect" lifeforms, many Great Emperors came to warn him, telling him the pursuit of perfection was one of the taboos of the universe since only "Grand Dao" itself is the one and only perfect thing in existence.

Back then, Di Tian noticed these Emperors acted weird when they told him this and thought they were worried that his creations would affect their powers. After all, his original intention to create such a lifeform was to have a human talented enough to lead them to victory against the Innate Lifeforms.

Then, rumors of his actions spread throughout the world. The Innate Demon and Primordial Gods learned that humans had created a perfect being of unimaginable talent that could destroy them and end this war.

So, they decided to eliminate that lifeform before she acquired a Heaven Will and proved the Dao. So, they launched the biggest attack since the beginning of the war.

In that battle, numerous Emperors of different Classes and Tier 10 Innate Demon Gods died. In the end, he and his creations also died. Di Tian then understood why these Emperors acted weird when they warned him. He was involved in a Supreme Outlaw Trial.

Over the years, Di Tian has pondered about that trial and how he could have passed it. And he concluded with two fundamental methods: love and imperfection.

If he did not fall in love with her, she would not uselessly sacrifice herself to save him. His emotions for her became the major weakness exploited during the trial.

Then, there is the perfect aspect of her existence. When creating her, Di Tian used only the best Chaos Treasures as the foundation, ensuring his technique was sublime. However, had he given her the tiniest of imperfection, or had he changed his intention to create a "perfect" life and create the "ultimate" human to end this war, True Heavenly Dao might reward him instead of cursing his very existence even through reincarnation.

Di Tian sighed as he knew regret was pointless. Many times he asked himself would he make a different choice if he had the opportunity to turn back– especially knowing the outcome.

And the answer was yes; he would not abandon his pursuit of perfection.

Di Tian took a moment before calmness returned to his eyes. He knew the advantages that a person who has passed the Supreme Outlaw Trial has: extreme intelligence and swift decision-making.

'With Wang Wei's intelligence and abilities, he will most likely find a way to fill the gap with me. So, I must reach the strength of the Tenth Reincarnation no matter what. Plus, time is on my side."

Many thoughts flashed across his mind as he analyzed Wang Wei and all his information on the latter. Di Tian concluded the latter had three advantages: heaven-defying comprehension most likely granted by his strange soul, his unnatural Willpower, and Empress Wu's possible clone.

'I don't need to worry about her; she seemed to want us to compete fair and square since she did not kill me,' thought Di Tian, thinking of the woman who sealed him. He then sneered; how is it fair if he is sealed to protect him?

Nevertheless, he did not focus on the small problem and continued strategizing.

'So, I need to find a way to elevate my comprehension to be on par with him and find a way to nullify or make his Willpower unusable during our final battle."

After making a proper plan, Di Tian contacted his clone and told him about the change of plan. Then, he looked in the Dao Opening Sect's direction indifferently and calmly.

No one can stop him from proving the Dao in this generation–especially since it was his last chance.

…

The next day, Wang Wei went to check on Li Jun and once again apologized for Wu Hong's actions and ensured everything was alright between them.

"Big brother, I was so scared?"

"Why? It was just an apology."

"Yes, but from Empress Wu," he said while quickly lowering his voice and looking around.

"I feared Heavenly Thunder would drop on me right after she said these words."

"You're exaggerating?"

"Am I? Do you think a small person like me can accept the Karma of such a big wig apologizing to me?"

"Since you're fine, it means she controlled herself to prevent backlash."

"That's not the point. I could not sleep or meditate last night, constantly worrying that a meteor would fall on my house to kill me."

"You would survive if that happens, so why worry?"

"You're still missing the point. My mind is not at ease, and I'm in a state of constant worrying. I'm worried that my state of mind will be affected after a while."

Wang Wei gave him a side-eye look before the two laughed aloud together.

"Joking aside, how do you really feel?"

"I don't blame her. After all, it was my decision."

"But she should never place you in a situation to make a choice."

"True, but I still forgive her since I understood where she came from. Plus, I could not resist her apology gift."

"Oh, what was it?"

"She promised to wash my child's body with the power of the Dao Source to establish a foundation for him."

"That's indeed a great gift. In the future, the Li clan might have another powerful Emperor," replied Wang Wei before the two chatted for a while. Then, a few days later, Ancestor Wucheng summoned him: it was time to recondense his body.
