Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 551 Saint

Chapter 551 Saint

"Oh, I almost forgot," said Lord Spirit. "I know the sudden rule change might affect how many of you view this trial."

The participants wanted to roll their eyes. With the new rules, most of the eight trials are essentially useless. As long as they performed the bare minimum to acquire enough points, everything else did not matter since they could win this trial by taking the number one seeded token.

And if they applied the rules correctly, they probably do not even need the points.

Lord Spirit smiled as he read these people's minds through their facial expressions.

"For the next trial, the first place prize is extremely precious, so you should do your best. Additionally, other prizes may be as valuable as this one in the other trials."

"What's the prize?" asked someone.

"All I can say is if you get your hands on it, it is enough to remove any regrets for not acquiring the final inheritance."

Everyone squinted their eyes as they became more serious. Lord Spirit smiled cunningly before telling everyone to begin the subsequent trial.

After entering the Pagoda, Wang Wei could sense different types of energy or Qi floating in the environment. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. The first part of the test was to control basic Spiritual Qi available in every world across the Endless Void.

First, he had to control it to do many complex shapes to show the level of his control. Then, he had to use them to cast spells or other techniques. He had to create the largest destructive power using the smallest amount of energy.

For example, 1 string of spiritual Qi could create 1 ton of TNT in terms of destruction. An expert in energy control can use 1 string to cause 100 ton of TNT. And a person at Wang Wei's level could use a tenth of a string of Spiritual Qi to create at least 100,000 tons of TNT damage.

After doing so, Wang Wei then proceeded to another energy. Although he could not recognize what it was, he knew it was of a higher level than Spiritual Qi, but not quite at the level of Innate Qi,

So, he did the same process: mold it before using it to display different levels of damage using the smallest amount possible. The process was slightly more difficult because of the higher quality of the energy, but he did not have a problem.

There were ten different energies. And each one higher than the others. Some of the ones in the higher level seemed to have wills of their own, making them even more challenging to control.

Nevertheless, the entire trial was worthwhile of his time since it allowed him to apply his [Force Control Skill] and become more adept with it. Then, he waited for the result.

A few minutes later, Lord Spirit's voice echoed in his trial room.

"We have an unexpected result. Young Master Chu Luo and Young Master Wang Wei tied for first place."

Many people sighed after hearing this; they had already begun to suspect these two might be in a league of their own. Meanwhile, Chu Luo was not happy.

He had almost finished his Nine Extremity Dao Foundation, having absorbed 90% of all his power from all his reincarnations. Meanwhile, his adversary could only be said to be in the middle of his process, not even knowing whether he would succeed in setting a True Nine Extremity Foundation.

Yet, he still lost. Yes, to him, a tie is a loss.

So, he took a deep breath to calm down. Everything was fine as long as the number one token remained in his hand.

'No matter what, I must get my hands on that technique to compensate for my flaw.'

"Now, for the final prize I mentioned," said Lord Spirit, who took a pause that was too long for many people's comfort.

"There is no prize; I deceived all of you."

Many people began to curse out loud in their different rooms. They swore they would call their Elders and Ancestors to level this place to the ground.

"Hahaha, I was kidding," continued Lord Spirit. "The prize is Dragon Sovereign Qi: one string for each of our first-place contenders."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing about the final prize. Dragon Sovereign Qi was an energy capable of creating an Insurgent Immortal Venerable on par with a Third-Class Great Emperor.

So, as long as the sect found someone talented or suited to refine that one string, they will have another Insurgent.

'This Gu Xuan really went all out to find a successor,' thought Wang Wei. Then, an orb appeared before him, and he saw a dragon swimming inside. He could sense the terror coming from that dragon, making him lust after its power.

Unfortunately, he could not refine it; otherwise, his Emperor Path would be cut off. After regretfully shaking his head, Wang Wei placed it inside his space ring. He then looked at the list in front of him that displayed him and Chu Luo receiving 1000 points; he did not care for it or the placing of the other participants.

"Let's begin the next competition: comprehension. The winner of this competition will be the person who improves the most in the allocated time."

A marble appeared before Wang Wei, and as he looked at it with his Divine Sense, a sightly surprise flashed across his eyes. He could sense all the laws between Heaven and Earth, and they were so clear. It was like someone refined an entire world and forced Heavenly Dao to display all its laws.

'Another opportunity,' he thought before closing his eyes to understand Fate Laws. He also did not hesitate to use his 360 [Future Buddha Self]. After an unknown amount of time, runes appeared around his body.

These runes indicated he had entered the Law Manifestation Stage of the Void Shattering Realm. The laws between Heaven and Earth were invisible and undetectable. However, once a cultivator's understanding is deep enough, they become visible and tangible, granting them more versatile use and applications.

Wang Wei's Law Tree did not change much besides the runes on it: it was still a seedling. However, the deeper he understood the law, the more the seedling grew until it became a sapling.

Finally, something changed. The Law Altair inside his Divine Sea flew to his Sea of Consciousness, where his Primordial Spirit took control of it. Wang Wei's body shook slightly as he sensed a change.

He could now control the surrounding thousand of kilometers and enforced his laws on them. He no longer had to adapt to the laws of other worlds since he could forcefully control them or make them adapt to himself.

Wang Wei was now in the Saint Realm, a True Person.

The Saint Realm was divided into three stages: Dao Sapling, Young Dao Tree, and Mature Dao Tree. With each stage, he can extend the limit of his Domain based on spiritual power and Origin Essence.

Wang Wei knew this trial was an opportunity, so he decided to take it and continued his understanding. He did not know how long had passed, but all he cared about was his Law Tree was now young, symbolizing he was now in the Young Dao Tree Stage.

The time for the competition ended, and he opened his eyes. He spread his Domain and felt he could do virtually anything; his control over the power of Fate seemed to be boosted.

"1.269 trillion Kilometers. I'm only in the middle stage, and I've already reached the limit of my Domain," muttered Wang Wei. Even his father's Domain only reached the limit, so his Domain would probably be quite large after he becomes a Peak Saint.

However, Wang Wei did not care much since he knew some people would have larger Domains than him. For example, Xu Shi, who he knew, planned to follow Lin Fan's plan to fuse a world with her Domain.

Even if it's a Middle Thousand World, it would be more extensive than his. Nevertheless, he would never lose in a confrontation. Not to mention he technically has eight other Domains in the form of his incarnations.

"The main body currently has peak 1-Leaf strength and can probably fight 2-Leaf Immortal Venerable for a few rounds," Wang Wei muttered before he was interrupted.

"The winner of this competition is…Young Master Wang Wei. He is the person who improved the most during the past 100 years."

Lord Spirit had to try extremely hard to hide his shock. One hundred years is not a long time for cultivators, and it is impossible to expect significant improvement in such a short time–especially regarding law comprehension that takes thousands of years.

Yet, today, he saw a miracle.

Even in the particular case of this trial where the laws are easier to understand, such an improvement is unimaginable.

'Maybe, the master will finally find a suitable inheritor.'

"There is no special prize for the top 3 of this trial. That's all for today, and see you in another week for the Willpower and Dao Heart Trial."

Wang Wei walked out of the pagoda. He sensed a sharp gaze and looked over to see Chu Luo staring at him.

'Do you finally see me as a competitor?' He smiled but did not say anything. He thought there would be some time formation in the pagoda so that time would not pass long on the outside.

He was wrong: a hundred years had passed. This news made him smile as he sensed his other incarnations.

'7 of them have already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm and even finished condensing most of their black holes. However, there was a slight problem with one that caused a delay.

The Order Incarnation's mission had something go wrong that delayed him. So, he is still in the Saint Realm and his memories sealed.

'If I borrow the power of the incarnations, I should have the power of 2-Root Dao Ancestor.'

Although he did not know for sure, he had a feeling. Nevertheless, he decided to test his full strength on Ancestor Wucheng. But now, he focused on the task at hand since he knew a few battles should occur.
