Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 400: True Challenge

Wang Wei looked at all the destruction around thinking about what just occurred. He checked the Karmic Sin on his body, but unfortunately, no matter what he did, it could not be removed or even sealed away.

He tried using Wu Hong's Scripture to at least place a temporary seal on it but it was no use. And after studying it a while, he realized the crux of the issue:

Incense.

In general, faith or incense is not as karmic binding as Qi Luck, most likely because of its transactional nature. Mortals pray to the gods and offered them incense, and in return, the gods provide them with aid, spiritual substance, and a paradise for their afterlife.

Compared to a sovereign who has to constantly keep its people happy and prosperous to retain a dynasty's luck, the power of incense is less Karmicly Binding.

This fact should have been in favor of Wang Wei. However, because of Di Tian's formation, this has become his downside. Because he was the Almighty God of the Heavenly Abode World, he was deeply connected to all the mortals of this world.

So when the blame for their death and the destruction of the world fell on him, it made his situation worse. Not to mention the fact that he cut off the River of Fate of the world and absorbed it.

This act will greatly benefit him once he began to comprehend the Law, adding to that the increase in battle prowess the river will grant him. At the same time, this act of him also further deepened the Karmic ties he had with the Heavenly Abode World, which in turn increased the backlash or sins he has to witness.

Additionally, the situation was further aggravated when his Bone Substitution ability was overused in the battle to save his life and could not be used to transfer the Karmic Sin to it.

Truth be told, Wang Wei did not think that this ability would be useful. Since DI Tian also cultivated the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], then he should be aware of this ability.

The scripture granted each user different abilities based on the cultivator's talent and level of tempering, however, many talents are common and have been previously recorded by previous cultivators of this scripture.

This includes the Bone Substitution Ability and the Element Control Ability from the five organs. So, Wang Wei guessed that Di Tian would be prepared to deal with that ability.

Finally, there is his Proving Dao Artifact. Since it was made of Fate Lines of both positive and negative Karma, it has some defense against Karmic Attacks. However, the artifact was almost annihilated by Di Tian, with only a string left.

It would take some time and a lot of resources before it can be repaired.

While he was in deep thought, he felt someone rapidly approaching him. He raised his head to see his father and grandfather coming in. It seemed that after this world was destroyed, the Crystal Wall was slowly fading away.

"Wei'er, are you alright?" said Wang Tian as he looked at his son who was older than his own father, and as skinny as a dry corpse.

"I'm fine, but where is mom?"

"I brought her back to the sect."

"Good. It's best if she did not see me in this state."

Meanwhile, Wang Chang looked at his grandson and the surrounding, "It seems that you got wrecked."

Wang Tian's lisp twitched after hearing this, thinking that this old man should know that if there was a time to be subtle, this should be it. As for Wang Wei, he laughed a little before saying:

"You're right. I did get wreck."

Wang Chang nodded his head after seeing his grandson not really affected by this battle. One failure never means much to Heaven Chosen. The only time failure was unacceptable to them was during the final battle.

"So, how do you feel?" he asked.

"Excited," replied Wang Wei with his eyes lit up. "Before, I was 90% sure that the throne would be mine. And the only reason I left for the 10% was possible changes that Di Tian and some other people might bring.

"But now, I have less than 5%."

"And that's a good thing?" asked Wang Tian.

"Only by winning a true opponent, only by surpassing the odds will the throne be truly worth it."

To Wang Wei, being a Great Emperor was nothing but one of the many steps on his path of cultivation–albeit a very important one. So, to him, the more challenging the process was, the better the foundation he can establish for future cultivation.

And there is no better challenge than a monster like Di Tian. Thinking of conquering such a tall and almost desperate mountain, a powerful fighting intent emanated out of his body.

Unfortunately for him, he was not in the best state to have such a large fluctuation of his spirit, so blood started falling from his mouth.

Both Wang Chang and Wang Tian immediately started to instill their origin essence inside his body to heal him. They immediately frowned when they see the true state he was in.

His Divine Sea and Altar were on the verge of collapsing along with his Primordial Spirit. Essentially, his Dao Foundation was collapsing.

"It's good that you're in good spirit but given your situation, you could have died," said Wang Tian, who immediately began to blame himself. The fact that someone could bypass their protection so easily is a great shame.

"Damn the Di clan, I should listen to Yu Yan and make them suffer a little."

"It's shameful to have my father avenge because I lost a battle. Plus, how could you lower your head to fight the lower generation," said Wang Wei. There was nothing he despised more than when someone lost, then the older generation came to avenge them.

"I don't have to deal with Di Tian, I can still beat his father."

"Unfortunately, Di Tian can probably beat us even we three combined," replied Wang Wei casually.

"He's that strong?" Even Wang Chang was a little surprised. Then, Wang Wei sent snippets of the final confrontation to them through Divine Sense, making them realize that he was right.

"Anyway, your situation made me realize that this generation's battle is truly perilous to anyone. If something were to happen to you, I do not know if your mother would ever forgive me."

"I would have been fine."

"How can you say this in your current state?"

Wang Wei smiled as he looked at Li Jun and Yan Liling who finally rushed over.

"Big brother, are you alright?" Li Jun wanted to hug him but feared that he might injure him. So, he only raised his hand before putting it down. However, Yan Liling did not have that much reservation and hugged him.

She knew if their big brother did not send them outside of the crystal wall, they would have a hundred percent died.

"Don't need to worry," replied Wang Wei. "Truth be told, I was never truly in danger." After saying that, he placed his hand on Li Jun's head to take out a small white square.

"What's this?"

"One of my spirit particles. When I sent you out of the crystal wall, I detached one of them and give it to you. In case I was truly killed, the sect could use it to revive me."

Many things suddenly came clear to these people after hearing this. For example, why did Wu Hong's clone say that he would be fine and so on?

Of course, although Wang Wei made his revival appear easy, it would not have been. With his Paragon-Quality Soul, it would take a lot of resources to fully revive him, not to mention take a couple of thousand years if not more.

Additionally, he would have loose many memories in the process.

"It's good for you to have thought of a way out," said Wang Tian, genuinely in awe of his son's quick thinking. In such a situation, in the split moment of life and death, not everyone could keep calm enough to make a rational decision let alone come up with a feasible one.

"Once you get back to the sect, we can fix you right up. However, the problem of your Karmic Sin will be a real headache."

As soon as Wang Tian said these words, Yan Chen appeared in front of the group to hand Wang Wei a bag.

"What's this?"

"Pill to temporarily alleviate your injuries."

Wang Wei opened it to find many Supreme Tier pills: Blood Energy PIll and Vitality Pill to heal his fleshly body. Primordial Spirit Nourishing Pills for his souls, and Divine Sea Stabilizing Pill for his Divine Sea.

Based on the heat of these pills, he could tell that many were probably made a few minutes ago.

"Great Timing," replied Wang Wei as he swallowed these pills one by one.

"Young master, I would like to apologize to you," said Yan Chen. As a Dao Protector, he let his young master become in such a state, this is a derelict of his duty.

"There is no need to blame yourself. Plus, now that I'm in the Primordial Spirit Realm, death at the hands of my peers is not your responsibility."

Although that was true, Yan Chen still felt some responsibility. Meanwhile, after consuming the pills, Wang Wei's complexion was no longer as pale. Plus, he did not have to actively use his will to prevent his foundation from completely collapsing.

He then raised his head to look at the Crystal Wall that was slowly dissipating.

"Go see if there is a way to preserve the wall and take it away. It could be the perfect material to make Emperor Artifact in the future."

Wang Tian's eyes lit up before taking a talisman to contact the Quasi-Emperors with Emperor Artifact for them to try. If not, he's prepared to contact more people to take away that wall.

After all, Emperor Materials are rare things.
