Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

In the void outside of the Artificial World, Retired Prince Ji Han looked at Yan Chen with fury on his face. Around him were also many True Monarchs of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

As for Yan Chen, he too was surrounded by True Monarchs of the Dao Opening Sect, including Wang Wei’s grandfather, Wang Chang.

"According to the agreement, Heaven Chosens are allowed to kill one another only when they reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, so why did you stop us from saving the Crown Prince?" asked Ji Han.

"Why did you people go back on your words?" asked Wang Chang. No one answered him, so Wang Chang just sneered.

Meanwhile, Ji Han was contemplating blowing himself up to take a few True Monarchs with him. As a Dao Protector, he swore an oath to protect Ji Song, but now he failed. To him, his existence is no longer necessary.

"Do not do anything stupid?" suddenly said one of the True Monarch on his side through Divine Sense.

"Why not? That way, the Dao Opening Sect can pay for their action, and the Dynasty does not have to suffer from the consequence as I did it voluntarily."

"It’s useless. Wang Chang is a Quasi-Emperor. It will be useless even if you blow yourself up."

"Wasn’t he injured in his generation’s Heaven Will Battle? Or at the very least, his lifespan should be affected?" asked Ji Han with unwillingness.

"With his Overlord Body, his injuries have probably long been healed. As for the issue of overused lifespan, this will not affect him from killing all of us."

Ji Han gritted his teeth as he felt helpless. Although their Great Zhou Dynasty also had Quasi-Emperors, they were all sleeping. And the ones in the same generation as Wang Chang died during the Heaven Will Battle.

Meanwhile, the whole world watched Ji Song’s death with shock; they could not believe that the first Heaven Chosen to be killed in this Glorious Age would be the number 2 Heavenly Physique.

As such, a collective sigh echoed throughout the world as the cultivators paid their respect to this fallen genius that did not have the opportunity to grow up and show his full potential to the world.

Then, the cultivators remembered Old Chu’s prophecy: "In this Supreme Era of Resurgence, the impossible will become possible."

Back to the artificial world, after Wang Wei managed to calm down after Ji Song’s death. His brain worked rapidly as he thought of a way to benefit from this situation.

He waved his hand to gather Ji Song’s shattered soul, then he took out a cauldron and placed both the body and soul inside. Immediately afterward, he started refining it. He used the Cleansing-Purifying Soul to remove the impurities, leaving out all the beneficial parts, then condensed them. Since this was not a real pill, he did not place any runes on it.

So, in front of the entire world, Wang Wei cooked Ji Song’s body and soul.

A few minutes later, the process ended and Wang Wei lifted the cover of the cauldron. Inside, a red blood pill and a strange bone floated. He placed the bone inside his space ring, then took the pill and swallowed.

Wang Wei sat down cross-legged to absorb the pill. Three hours later, he woke up and checked the changes in his body. First, he did not get a second physique, but Wang Wei expected that.

His strength increased dramatically. However, the greatest benefit that he received was in fact that his talent for Body Refining reached an unimaginable level.

The benefit of that is the amount of strength he will receive after tempering any part of his body is higher than previously for example. For example, after tempering his skin, his strength increased by 1000 jin, but with his increase in talent, his strength would increase by 10,000.

After a quick analysis, Wang Wei figured out the reason. The Heavy Axe Physique is based on the Dao of Power and is considered the ultimate talent for Body Refining. Now that he refined Ji Song’s body, blood essence, and soul, he acquired that talent.

After checking his new strength, Wang Wei waved his hand in the sky to retrieve the blood essence and token used as a bargaining chip for this battle. After a quick check, the token was indeed a fake.

So, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the broadcasting formation, and with cold and ruthless eyes, he said: "You people of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty has three days to hand over the real token, otherwise prepare to be annihilated from this world."

He then contacted Yan Chen to take him away. Meanwhile, in the void, Wang Chang laughed out, making the void trembled. "You heard what my grandson said."

"You would start an Emperor Dao War with us over something a junior said?"

"Why not?" replied Wang Chang, with his laughter gone and a terrible killing intent emanated from his body. It was then that they remembered that the person in front of them was a madman that did whatever he wanted without caring about the repercussions.

As a result, in his generation, he offended so many people, yet, he was still alive--no matter how many assassination attempts he suffered in his life.

One of the True Monarchs hurriedly said: "We will let the Sovereign decides on this matter." Then, everybody left.

Back in the Dao Opening Sect, Wang Wei sat on his throne with Wang Ju standing in front of him. "Did the Shadow Guards infiltrated Ji Su’s inner circle as I ordered?"

"Yes, young master."

"Then ordered them to assassinate him."

"...As you wish."

"Okay, now leave me alone. Do not let anyone disturbs me."

As Wang Ju left, Wang Wei started to think to himself. However, not long after, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.

"I thought I said not to disturb...Oh, it’s you."

"NoT happy to see me?" asked Wu Hong with a bright smile.

"No, I think that your face is the only thing that can soothe my wrath."

"I think your mother would be very upset if she heard about this."

"I bet she would."

Wu Hong walked to the throne and sat on Wang Wei’s lap. As usual, she started playing with his hair. "So, now that your hubris has gotten the best of you, did you learn anything?"

Wang Wei sighed, "Indeed, I learned a lot. I learned I should never be careless in anything I do. As the saying goes, a lion should use his full strength even when hunting a rabbit.

"I also learned not to underestimate the intelligence of my opponent. As these Heaven Chosens grow, they will become more difficult to deal with, more cunning, and more difficult to scheme against. I should always be on guard and not think that I’m the only smart one around."

"Scared?"

"Not really as I’ve never been afraid of a challenge. What I’m scared of is not learning from my mistakes."

Wu Hong nodded as she asked: "What are you going to do if the Great Zhou refused to give you the token?"

"They will hand it over, and if they do not, then we can start a war with them."

"I thought that you wanted to prevent the sect from starting an Emperor Dao War?"

"That was against the Academy. Although the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty is a dynasty from the Incense Era and has a deep foundation, it does not change the fact that they only have three Great Emperors. Winning against them would be much easier from the sect than the Academy.

"Not to mention that a war would allow me to grow much quicker."

"Why do I feel that you did not start a war with the Academy for a different reason?" asked Wu Hong.

"Well, you are correct. Long ago, I noticed that the Academy was slowly becoming the leader of the Myriad Emperor World. And a war with them would most like lead to the majority of factions siding on their sides to destroy us."

"So, you design a plan to strip them of their Spirit of Epoch, decreased their Luck, ruined their reputation, and isolate them from the rest of the world?"

"That’s right."

"So, you planned long ago to target them?"

"Well, my original plan was quite direct. Wait for me to become an Emperor before I deal with them. However, circumstances forced me to act."

Wu Hong nodded, then she asked: "How is your soul injury?"

"I took a Supreme Tier Soul Healing Pill, it should be fine in a month or so."

"You should be more careful when it comes messing with the Power of Law. If your soul was not special, you would probably die or be severely injured."

Wang Wei nodded in agreement with her; this time around, he was a little reckless as anger got the best of him.

Meanwhile, in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Sovereign Ji Wen was having a meeting with his ministers. Everyone waited with bated breath for his decision.

So, after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Ji Wen said; "Give them the token."

Many people sighed in relief after hearing this, while a few opposed this decision.

"Your majesty, what about the crown prince, shouldn’t we avenge him?"

Ji Wen sighed deeply, his hair turned white and he instantly aged into an old man. "The Path of Emperor is a cruel one. Geniuses died all the time--especially in this Glorious Age where geniuses are everywhere. Song’er only has his weakness and carelessness to blame for his death.

"Although I am a father, I am also a ruler. I cannot risk the destruction of the dynasty for my family."

The room became silent as all these ministers lament on their weakness. Finally, Sovereign Ji Wen said: "Tell First Prince Ji Su to enter the Royal Family Tomb to cultivate until he reaches the Supreme Realm."

"Your majesty, you mean..."

"Just be on the safe side." Then, Ji Wen left the room with his shoulder hunched down.

...

The next day, Wang Wei was walking around with Wu Hong when Yan Liling approached them and said with a calm face: "Li Jun is dead!"
