Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

(Discord in the comments section.)

After noticing that something was wrong, Wang Wei wanted to say something to her, but she suddenly asked, "Can I touch your face?"

Instinctively, he wanted to decline her, but changed his mind after looking deep in her eyes. So, she reached out her small and jade like hands to slowly caress his face.

Although she was looking straight at him, Wang Wei could tell that he was not the person she was seeing. In her eyes, he could see that his figure was replaced by someone else.

She caressed his face for a few seconds before muttering under her breath, "You should not go through all of this length."

Wang Wei was both surprised and curious towards her, so he wanted to ask her about the person she seemed to be reminiscing about, however, she had suddenly disappeared in front of him.

He did not see how she did that, even his True Vision and Divine Sense did not notice anything. It was as if she was never here in the first place. Confused, Wang Wei suddenly yelled out loud, "Supreme Elder!"

"Yes, young master."

"Did you see the woman that was talking to me just now?"

"Yes I did."

"Do you know what she was? How did she disappear?"

"She seemed to be a Ghost Spirit!"

"Seemed?" asked Wang Wei not sure where the uncertainty came from.

"Well, usually Ghost Spirits are mortals or cultivators who died with grave grievances, which served as a tether to the living world. However, I did not feel any grievance from this person, so I'm not really sure."

Yan Chen paused for a few seconds, "As for how she disappeared, even I could not detect how she did it."

Wang Wei had a frown on his face as he began to ponder the whole situation. Then he found a few things weird after reviewing the entire encounter.

First thing, he did not notice how she approached him until she spoke to him. For someone with such a keen sense of his surroundings, this was odd.

Secondly, how did she manage to read his personality in such details after they had just met. Only a few people that are very close to him truly know what kind of person he was. To the outside world, he always portrayed a facade of strength, wisdom, and ruthlessness. A person who will do anything to achieve his goals, even if he needs to sacrifice the people close to him.

This was shown by the way he treated Han Li, a member of his own sect. However, that woman was able to see through him so easily.

As a matter of fact, this was not the most disconcerting thing that happened during their brief encounter. The thing that worried Wang Wei the most was the last act.

When she asked him to touch his face, given how cautious his nature was, he would never allow a person that he found strange and incomprehensible to easily approach him, let alone touch his face.

In that situation, he was very vulnerable. Yet, he still allowed it to happen. This can mean two things: one, her soul is so powerful that she can easily influence his mind without him even noticing, or she used a secret technique that can bypass his soul or mind defense.

No matter what the situation is, the result is still terrible news for Wang Wei. Although he believed that if that woman had any negative thoughts against him, his intuition would warn him, this did not change the fact that he was still spiritually influenced.

This event has proven to Wang Wei that his so-called high quality soul was not as perfect as he imagined. This world is vast and has a long history, who knows what kind of Heaven defying techniques or abilities that cultivators have developed over the years.

Wang Wei then took a deep breath to regain his bearing. This event has taught him an important lesson. Although his soul is special, without the knowledge on what makes it special and how to use this speciality, he should never blindly believe in its power. After thinking about this, he continued his travels toward the Emperor Enlightenment Academy.

Meanwhile, back at the Dao Opening Sect, Great Elder Long Bo received the news of Wang Wei's departure. A crazy and ruthless lit flashed across his eyes as he looked at the formation.

"I refused to swallow this breath," he muttered to himself as he inject his origin essence in the formation to activate it. He has been secretly preparing this array for the past five years.

The purpose is to allow him to secretly leave the sect unnoticed by anyone. After activating the formation, a clone with the same look, cultivation, and aura as Long Bo appeared in the room. The clone even has the ability to fight and interact with anyone, so it is virtually impossible to tell the real Long Bo from the clone.

After that, the real Long Bo teleported out of the sect, and even out of the Heavenspan Domain. After teleporting away, Long Bo looked in the direction that Wang Wei was heading as he muttered with gritted teeth:

"The Death Order Palace may refuse to take on this job, however the same cannot be said for these Devil cultivators in the Western Continent. As long as the price is right, they will gladly sent more than one True Monarchs to preoccupy Yan Chen and kill that little bastard."

After that, he placed a hood over his head and headed on direction. However, Long Bo did not know that as soon as he disappeared from the sect, a Shadow appeared in his seclusion room. Even his clone did not notice the Shadow, who proceeded to inform Sect Master Wang Tian of his departure.

At Tianwei Peak, as soon as Wang Tian received the news, he sighed out loud and looked out the window for a few minutes. 'As it comes to this!' he thought to himself.

The sound of footsteps soon woke Wang Tian from his daze, then he immediately stood up when he saw the person who came.

"Father, what brought you here to see me!"

Wang Chang took a brief look at his son, "I know despite the factional disagreement between you and Long Bo, long ago you two were considered friends. So, I will take care of this matter in your place."

"…Thank you father!"

Wang Chang nodded before disappearing instantly from the room. It did not take him long before he tracked Long Bo's location.

While traveling through space, Long Bo suddenly felt the void around him become unstable, then he was ejected out by the space channel that he created.

Immediately knowing that something had gone wrong, Long Bo instantly opened his Domain. Then, the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the surrounding few kilometers were usurped and changed by him.

"Wang Tian, I know you are here, so come out. Don't be a coward and show yourself!"

"Unfortunately for you, he is not here," replied a powerful and overbearing voice.

As soon as Long Bo saw who showed up, he knew that he would not survive today. So he laughed maniacally: "Did I do something wrong? Is it wrong for me to want the Sectarian faction of the sect to rise and prosper?"

"Do not place yourself as an unjust martyr," replied Wang Chang with a cold voice. "The truth of the matter is you did not do all this for the sake of the sectarian faction, but for your own selfish greed.

"You wanted to take power for yourself, you wanted the glory of being a Great Emperor's Master. However, after you failed, you did not accept defeat gracefully. Instead, you had the audacity to plot against my grandson.

"The reason that you will die today is not because of your ambitions, but because these ambitions far exceed your capabilities."

After saying these words, Wang Chang ignored the ugly look on Long Bo's face, then a giant figure appeared behind him. This figure was Wang Chang's Dharma Body, and unlike Yan Chen's, this one looked exactly like him.

With a wave of his hand, the Dharma Body squeezed and crushed Long Bo's Domain without much effort. Well, this was normal as Dharma Bodies are physical manifestations of Domain, as such, in essence, are a higher form of evolution of Saints' Domain.

Following which, Long Bo was crushed to death, and he did not even have the chance to scream. His body, soul, and Laws were completely destroyed instantly; he did not have a single chance to resist, let alone fight back. Then, Wang Chang left immediately afterward.

As soon as Long Bo died, a phenomenon of countless stars falling appeared in the sky of the Myriad Emperor World. Then, a profound sadness enveloped all the cultivators in the world, making them take a few minutes of mourning.

As for the knowledgeable ones, they knew that this was the sign of a Saint fallen. They sighed knowing that this was a turbulent world, and even such a powerful cultivator cannot escape the shackles of Life and Death.
