Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 494 Gamble

Chapter 494 Gamble

"What are you?" asked Zhen Chao with fear in his eyes. He did not even copy 1% of that will and was almost overwhelmed. If it were not for his fleshly body to buy him enough time to give up that power, he would have died under the backlash.

"I often ask myself that question. But I find it best not to think about it deeply; it helps me sleep better at night," replied Wang Wei casually.

Zhen Chao looked at him with hesitation. He took a slight step forward before returning to his original position. Then, the scream of that day echoed in his mind, turning his eyes into ones of determination.

He took a deep breath before summoning his Emperor Tier Saber. He rushed toward his opponent, going for the head. Wang Wei internally sighed when he saw this as regret and pain flashed across his eyes.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion that also shook the surrounding space occurred. Right before Zhen Chao cut off his head, Wang Wei used the new technique he had just developed:

Time Reversal

He reversed his body to a few hours ago, to a time when he was still in a relatively peak state. Then, he exploded his fleshly body, Divine Sea, Origin Essence, Law Altar, Fate Laws, and even his Sea of Consciousness; there was no hesitation or pause in his actions.

The explosion of such a power was catastrophic, to say the least. With 2 Dragon Elephant Force, he could destroy 2000 Middle Thousand World with one punch. However, with this explosion alone, he could probably destroy a few 10,000s.

Furthermore, he even removed the seal Wu Hong placed on his body to store the Divine Punishment Thunder and release this Immortal Tier Power in the world.

Meanwhile, a red shield protected Wang Wei's True Primordial Spirit, but the shield kept flickering as if it was about to disappear.

'I was right. Di Tian did sell my information to Heavenly Dao,' thought Wang Wei. The shield he used was a talisman from Wu Hong as one of his final trump cards. The only time he could not use its power was against Di Tian, but now, it has also malfunctioned.

There is no way for Zhen Chao to create a way to counter her power without a deep understanding of it. So, the only way to explain the situation is for Di Tian to sell the information to Heavenly Dao, and in return, the latter find a way to hand it to Zhen Chao.

Luckily, he had Wu Hong modify the talisman after the last failure in the Heavenly Abode World Battle.

Wang Wei linked his soul to the shield to barely stabilize it and buy him enough time. Then, he looked at his Primordial Spirit, which had a crown on its head. The only thing that he did not blow up was his Three Flowers Crown that he moved from his Law Altar to his Primordial Spirit.

Then, he thought of his fleshly body. It was a great pain to lose such a powerful body, but it was the best method in the current situation.

Luckily, his True Primordial Spirit was linked to his fleshly body, so he did have to start over. He can regenerate a new one with enough resources, energy, and time. Even the Innate Spiritual Herbs from his inner organs were now fused with his soul.

Nevertheless, regenerating will still require a lot of effort and money. Well, anyway, he was a second-generation rich young master, so he did not like resources.

Additionally, with his understanding of cultivation and the fleshly body, he can recreate an even better foundation that is at least 10-25% better.

Wang Wei looked outside the shield, and everything was dark and chaotic. Lightning and Thunder flashed everywhere, annihilating everything in sight. The previously green and blue world had now turned into a doomsday world.

Wang Wei watched everything calmly; he did not think Zhen Chao had died. So, he waited until the shield could no longer hold before reactivating the seal and absorbing the Divine Punishment Thunder into his soul.

He then controlled the Spiritual Qi produced from the Spirit Flower to create another barrier to protect himself. Although his soul was resilient enough to resist the chaotic energy in this space, he did not want to take any chances.

After the Divine Punishment Thunder disappeared, the Domain-like Space began to heal itself and soothe the chaotic storm created by the explosion. Then, he saw Zhen Choa's body floating in the air with a shield around him.

However, only his head and a small part of his upper torso remained, along with his right hand. Then, the destroyed places twitched before healing and regenerating. While seeing this, Wang Wei's eyes secretly shine with brilliance.

A few minutes later, Zhen Chao opened his eyes, his body in perfect shape. However, he looked extremely pale. With a calm look, Zhen Chao looked at Wang Wei and said:

"You know, I have traveled to 20 World Communities and 6 Heaven Will World. I have fought countless opponents, Heaven Chosens, or cultivators with higher realms than me.

"And in some of my fights, I have suffered terrible defeats, but as long as I gather enough information on my opponent, I can always be victorious, and easily too. However, you–the person I have the most information on–gave me my hardest battle.

"Well, I guess what truly matters is I'm the final victor. It's a shame I could not place your severed head on my family's grave."

Wang Wei smiled, which suddenly gave Zhen Chao a bad premonition. "Look at your hand."

Zhen Cho quickly checked his hands to discover a rune that looked like a tattoo on his left hand. And before he could even process where this strange tattoo came from, more and more of these runes appeared all over his body and even his soul.

Wang Wei flew before Zhen Chao, who could not move or speak. As he looked at his inquiring eyes, he said: "Quantuum Virus Array. Oh, you may not understand what does that mean.

"I created an array so small that even a Great Emperor might not be able to detect. Then, I gave it the ability to replicate itself like a virus. On our first contact, I planted it inside your body so that it could replicate.

"And every time I injure and force you to heal, the replicating process increase. Unfortunately, when you took my power, my fleshly body's natural residence significantly delayed the process.

"Luckily, I managed to make you lose my power and destroy your body to such a terrible state in the previous explosion. By now, the virus has attached itself to every single subatomic particle of your body and even the very essence of your soul.

"I have to say, this array is one of my greatest masterpieces. The perfect combination of two different civilizations."

Wang Wei's eyes turned bright. "Look at me; I've become as talkative as you. Well, don't worry, as I won't make you suffer; this is the respect I will give you as a worthy opponent. Plus, you will soon be a part of me."

'My first Incarnation: the Dao of Free Will. Once I fuse it with my Dao of Fate....' .

Suddenly, he felt something and slightly raised his head; he saw a man dressed in black brocade float less than a meter from him. He could not see the man's face as a strange fog seemed to hide his identity, but Wang Wei did not care about this.

He cared about the fact that he did not know when this man appeared so close to him, nor how long he was here. His mind rapidly worked as trillions of thoughts flashed across his mind in less than a nanosecond.

"Zhen Chao did not lie; your soul is indeed unique," said the man in a gravelly voice. "A Fateless Soul and a Unique Soul; this is indeed a great deal."

With a calm look, Wang Wei said: "I don't know who you are, nor do I care. But, I'm warning you not to interfere in the affair of the Dao Opening Sect."

"Hehe, kid, do you think I, Empyrean Black Heart, would care about some sects in the Mortal Realm?"

"No, but you should care about the backers in the upper dimension."

Empyrean Black Heart paused for a moment before responding: "Do you think these beings would care about their descendants who are separated from them by who knows how many years? Do you think they will care about your sect once the Luck it provides no longer benefits them?"

"They will care about someone like me who has a "unique soul' and just passed the Supreme Outlaw Trial."

Empyrean Black Heart briefly paused again: "Unfortunately for you, your Ancestors are long dead in the Upper Dimension."

"Two of my ancestors are Eternal Emperors; how could they die?"

"It does not change the fact they have not shown up for thousands of Yuan Epochs."

Numerous thoughts flashed across Wang Wei's mind before his Primordial Spirit began to exude a weird aura. When Black Heart felt the aura, the fog on his face almost disappeared.

"How are you related to Empress Wu?"

"What do you think?" replied Wang Wei calmly.

Then, Black Heart released a terrifying pressure. The pressure alone almost crushed Wang Wei's soul, but he remained calm–at least on the surface. Instead, he took out a talisman with Wu Hong's aura from his space ring since the previous restriction was lifted after he captured Zhen Chao.

"If you want, I can contact her."

Empyrean Black Heart looked at the talisman, wondering whether this kid was bluffing. However, he once experienced the aura on that talisman–albeit it was somewhat different.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he said: "Kid, I remember you," before disappearing. Wang Wei sighed in relief.

Eternal Ascension World:

Black Heart suddenly opened the coffins he hid to cultivate.

"Damn it, how did I get involved with her," he said as he walked out. "Maybe I'm overthinking, and this kid was bluffing. Wait, I smelled the aura of two different taboos from this kid, so he is not normal.

"Most likely, he is a crucial pawn of her and the people from the Dao Opening Sect."

Thinking about this, Black Heart began to panic; if he accidentally got involved in one of these big wigs' plans, he would die without leaving any bones behind.

"No, I need to find a way to save myself. Should I join one of these 7's Camps?... No, if the Empress wants to kill me, I doubt these people could stop her. Only the other two could save me, but...."

Black Heart walked back and forth for a while.

"It's best I hide in the Lawless Zone."

After making a decision, he packed up his coffin before rushing to the Lawless Zone to hide.

Meanwhile, in the Lower Dimension, Wang Wei suddenly felt a weight lifted from his shoulder, his state of mind sublimated, and he received some information in his mind about passing the trial.
