Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1385 Someone Finally Acted

Chapter 1385  Someone Finally Acted

Five Feathers suddenly stopped her onslaught of attacks. She looked at her opponent with disdain before mocking him: "What happened to all that hatred and rage? Are you even trying to kill me?" "I don't need to try," Undead Phoenix replied.

"What do you mean?"

"I've realized that there is no need to worry about your death," he explained. "With how you're behaving and the terrifying nature of that curse, you will die eventually without the cure. So, why must I become the variable that helps you escape the curse? I only need to survive long enough, lay back, and watch you slowly march to your doom.'

Five Feather's face twisted in anger. The latter was correct. Her curse and the Body of Sin were a ticking time bomb, and without the cure, it was only a matter of time before she died from their powers. In other words, the one in a hurry was her — not Undead Phoenix.

"Your plan hinged on staying alive," Five Feathers rebutted. "And I'll make sure to hand you your ticket to the underworld." She attacked, and she was ever fiercer this time around. This prideful phoenix had one objective — kill this bastard and end the fate between them. Unfortunately, Undead Phoenix remained calm and composed; his primary mode of fighting was more defensive and reserved, not giving Five Feather a chance at even injuring him.

"You coward!" Five Feathers yelled. "Are you a man? How can you fight in such a cowardly manner?' Undead Phoenix's lips twitched, but his tactic remained the same. Five Feathers grew more frustrated with this battle. Although she was confident in her newfound strength, the difference between them was not significant enough for her to kill him swiftly, and the situation worsened because he fought.

"Do you want to know a little secret?" Five Feathers said with a cruel sneer. "You should know by now that I never loved you, but did you know I've always loved your best friend — Bai Songxuan? He was such a kind and handsome man with a heart of gold. It was sad he had to live all his life in your shadows."

A terrifying killing intent flashed in Undead Phoenix's eyes. However, such a reaction only made Five Feathers smirked before she continued:

"I tried confessing my love, but he was too loyal. I even used an aphrodisiac to get his body, but he insisted on his loyalty. That's why I had to kill him. Although I loved him, I couldn't allow him to mess up my plans for you."

"YOU WH****!" Undead Phoenix roared before launching toward her. He acted like a madman, trying to kill her without any consequences. However, Five Feathers only giggled joyously: "That's more like it.' She fought back vigorously, trying to use this opportunity to find a flaw and capture him.

"Calm down," yelled a voice inside Undead Phoenix's head, but he was not listening.

"We are not ready yet, and you're going to ruin the plan." Unfortunately, this message might have also been sent to the endless void. 'Damn it, I should have expected this idiot to cause trouble,' muttered the voice, not caring whether Undead Phoenix heard him. 'In that case, let's change things.'

The battle intensified as these two mad titans clashed, almost losing their sanity. The destruction they caused could be imagined, but no one cared. In this vast world, population, and territory were never lacking.

At the peak of these people's battles, something unexpected suddenly occurred. A golden light suddenly flew out of Undead Phoenix's body and turned into ropes that bound the two of them. Five Feathers sensed something and tried to evade, but the golden rope was attracted to the sins on her body like metal to a magnet, making it impossible to avoid.

She immediately tried to break it off, but it was useless. This rope would be bound to her as long as she had such a vast amount of karmic sins. She could use brute force to destroy it, but that process would take time, and she felt that the schemer would not give her this chance.

"This power — the Golden Body of Merit," Five Feathers analyzed. "Wang Wei — is that you? No, this aura is different. It's something I've seen before — Kong."

"We've met so many times, but it took you so long to recognize me. Is this how little I mean to you, or has your sanity degraded to such a level?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"I also would like to know," Undead Phoenix added. "Why am I also captured?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Kong responded.

"So, you've betrayed me," Undead Phoenix replied calmly. "But do you think I wasn't prepared for this possibility?"

Emperor Kong looked at him: "You have literally killed all the talented people under your watch and destroyed valuable knowledge. Do you really think you could have done something that could escape my watch? Besides your powerful strength and resources, you have nothing."

Emperor Kong shook his head. The moment Undead Phoenix agreed to work with him, he was doomed to die.

'It's a shame the plan had to start early,' Emperor Kong sighed. According to his original plan, Undead Phoenix was supposed to continue the fight long enough for him to secretly establish a No-Life Array. After betraying him, Emperor Kong would have successfully killed two Paragons at once. But now, he had to be satisfied with eliminating one of their lives.

Undead Phoenix panicked a little after hearing these words and activated his backup. But, as expected, nothing failed. The formation that was the core of their plan remained intact. Emperor Kong ignored him and activated the genuine formation.

An enormous amount of grievances gathered above their heads before rapidly condensing into a blade. Emperor Kong was the person who cleaned up the grievances of the world after making a deal with the moons; his actions significantly prolonged their reign by preventing the grievances from slowly eroding their Qi Luck Dragon. However, today, he used the same grievance to kill two of these moons.

"No," Five Feathers yelled. She had just gained some control over this curse, and death would only aggravate her situation. She pushed her Five Elements and Minor Karma Dao to the limit, trying to break the golden rope. Sadly, the nature of that rope was the antithesis of sinful people like her, not to mention that Emperor Kong convinced Undead Phoenix to boost its power further to ensure it lasted long enough to bind someone of Five Feather's power.

"You're first," Emperor Kong said, looking at Undead Phoenix. The golden rope contained the latter's power, so Kong knew it would not last long against Undead Phoenix. He waved his hand, and the dark purple sword descended on this man with the utmost swiftness. All resistances were futile.

These moons have committed too many atrocities, and the world's grievances were a manifestation of the people — both mortals and cultivators — dissatisfaction with them. Emperor Kong's way of killing them is almost poetic, embodying the ultimate form of karma.

Crack!

A sound of breakage echoed in the sky, shifting Emperor Kong's focus. Five Feathers' desperate measure was almost successful. Emperor Kong did not waste any more time and killed her. As he watched her body dissipate, Kong had a sense of completion — a moment of a circle coming around, to be specific. He wondered where this absurd feeling originated from until he thought about it more deeply.

'So, everything was connected, and come back around,' he thought. He used the world's grievances to boost his career and prolonged these people's reign. However, Heavenly Dao never punished him for his actions. Kong always wondered why their academy's luck never suffered. His actions should have brought him some karmic connection to the moons that affected his and the academy's luck.

Now, he understood. Heavenly Dao's plan all along was for him to pay back his actions by eliminating these people using the very thing that prolonged their aid. Emperor Kong sighed. Today's event was further proof that Wang Wei's analysis about the future was correct.

Emperor Kong looked in the academy's direction. He sensed the tremendous amount of luck and destiny that he had just acquired. He nodded in satisfaction before looking in the distance. He had feared that someone else would come to intervene in his plan and was prepared. Luckily, all the people who could help were either busy or too selfish to come.

'No, I need to lay low for a while,' Emperor Kong thought. After today's events, many eyes will be on him. His academy was not one of the Overlords or an ancient top Paragon Lineage. As such, many people will be interested in the luck and destiny he has just acquired.

…

Wang Wei opened his eyes, his pupils shining with brilliant light. He had successfully analyzed those fluctuations, and now, he shifted his focus to the war's outcome. Although he was in deep meditation, he still understood what was happening in this fight.
