Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor



In the Eastern Quadrant, Wang Wei's eyes twitched after listening to that conversation. However, his smile betrayed his genuine emotion. He remembered those carefree and childlike times with great fondness.

As a child with an adult's mind, his childhood was not as simple as real children's. He could detect many things, including the entire sect's tremendous expectations of him.

And in his youth, many people doubted whether he was capable because he lacked a Heavenly Physique.

Living under such pressure, he had two ways to deal with the situation. The first one was his grandmother, Yun Zhaojun, who was kind and never made him feel any pressure. In many ways, she was the rock that grounded his childhood.

And the second method he used to deal with his pressure was the childhood shenanigans he made with Li Jun. Wang Wei could shut off his mind and act like a child when he was with him, forgetting all his worries.

As such, their childhood contained many memories of them getting into trouble and blaming it on Li Jun.

'Those were great times,' thought Wang Wei, his smile deepened. He did not care that such an embarrassment was revealed to the world. For one, he had thick skin and would not be affected by such a thing.

Secondly, this world worshiped power and would glorify, romanticize, and deify anything some great entities did. With his accomplishments, he fits the list of people to be honored and made into a hero.

So, Li Jun's words will, in fact, benefit him greatly after proving the Dao. This story of his childhood will humanize him in most people's eyes and in the annals of history, which will, in turn, significantly increase his reputation.

As such, this incident can be described as an accident with a positive result. Well, at least for their team.

Di Jiaying secretly gritted her teeth, 'I made a mistake. My words not only did not affect him but sublimated his spirit."

She understood the importance of spirit in a battle, and with Li Jun's current state, his power will increase by a few percent because of his spirit.

'Damn it. I need to deal a great blow to him to decrease his spirit,' analyzed Di Jiaying before going on the offensive.

[No Right Fist]

The weak or subjugated have no rights as they are dictated by their ruler. And Di Jiaying's fist contained the power to remove someone's rights, and she chose to remove Li Jun's right to have a high spirit or deep concentration.

'A Spirit Attack?' he sneered before a terrible bloodlust was released from his body. A boundless desire for killing and slaughter enveloped his mind.

Such killing intent was similar to an army of millions that only desired to annihilate their opponents. So, how would they care about the official power of any ruler–even a tyrant?

Li Jun easily broke from the influence of her technique. He moved his spear and slapped her fist like he was holding a staff.

Bang!

The force of the attack forced Di Jiaying back a few dozen meters.

'His body refining is so high?' Di Jiaying tempered her body to create her Tyrant Body. However, her accomplishment was considered mediocre by this generation's standard when she sealed herself.

And only after Di Tian's training that she reaches the Primordial Dragon Stage in the True Power Dao Realm; this is the main reason she decided not to betray the latter and control her resentment.

Yes, her many years of effort were rendered useless. However, in return, she became a Heaven Chosen that broke the boundary between Mortal and Immortal. The benefit she receives corresponds to the price she paid.

'I only have 13 Primordial Dragon Force, but his raw strength should be around 55 to 57,' analyzed Di Jiaying before rushing forward again. Her fighting style was the same as her Dao–overbearing.

[Tyrant Aura]

A tyrant had a certain presence that made people close to him weak. So, she condensed that presence into a special aura around her body.

Bang!

Her fist clashed with the spear again. However, she only took a few steps back as her aura drastically reduced the force behind the attack.

'Something is wrong,' thought Di Jiaying as she continued their clash. 'I have been feeling a slight pain in my joints and back since the first attack. I've mobilized my blood energy to heal, but the pain is still there.'

Pesh!

Lu Jun mobilized the Weapon Dao of his Slaughter Dao, increasing the piercing capability of his spear. With one attack, he suddenly punctured the aura around Di Jiaying, heading straight for her heart.

Clink!

His spear bounced off her armor.

'An Immortal Treasure? Could it be Gao Boquin's work?' Li Jun was confused. If Gao Boqin made such a thing, there should have been auspicious clouds to indicate such an achievement.

'Did they hide it? No, Di Tian should be in great need of merit. So, he would never hide it.'

Li Jin removed the possibility of the latter waiting after the final battle to reveal this accomplishment. With Chen Chen's existence, there is a high chance he would receive the merit first if Di Tian were too slow.

In fact, Chen Chen did not receive merit for his city because he created most of it in the Mechanical Puppet World.

'Something is fishy about this armor,' analyzed Li Jun, who decided to observe it deeper.

Meanwhile, Di Jiaying had a deep frown.

'The pain keeps intensifying with each passing second. If I don't do anything, the pain will reach a level I cannot bear.'

She raised her hand to release a terrifying repulsive force to push Li Jun a few meters away. Then, she activated her technique:

[Force Healing]

A tyrant never fears for their life. As long as it wishes, it can order all the best physicians in the world to attend to him. And if they are powerful enough, they force Heaven and Earth to obey their will and treat them.

With this technique, countless energy entered Di Jiaying's body, analyzing every detail to deduce the cause of her pain and heal.

"Chronic Pain?" she muttered in shock, wondering why her opponent would use such a technique. More importantly, she wondered how this was related to his Slaughter Dao.

'No, the answer is obvious. Many people end their life because they cannot bear the suffering of years of chronic pain.'

Di Jiaying squinted her eyes, "You actually weaponized such a thing as chronic pain."

"Life is so fragile; there are too many ways a person can die," replied Li Jun.

"You Slaughter Dao is scarier than I gave you credit for."

DI Jiaying could not imagine what other things this man weaponized and used as a lethal weapon.

'Maybe, even breathing is a weapon for this man.'

Typically, it would be absurd for a cultivator to die from choking or lack of air. However, with this man's Slaughter Dao, such a thing would become a reality.

"Believe it or not, despite all I have accomplished, people tend to underestimate me.'

Di Jiaying looked at him deeply before taking a deep breath. She elevated this man to the highest level of danger possible in her mind while activating her ultimate cautious side.

She once became a tyrant during her Mortal Dust to cultivate her Tyrant Dao. And during that time, she had to develop her cautious side to prevent and deal with countless rebellious ministers.

[Heaven and Earth Enslavement]

The surroundings trembled slightly, indicating a tremendous change. Li Jun, with his sharp senses, noticed the difference immediately. He sensed this battlefield's laws were no longer under Heavenly Dao's control and submitted to Di Jiaying.

To be precise, she enslaved them.

"The Ultimate Domain," commented Li Jun as he felt everything around him rejecting his presence and even his entire existence.

"Even my Dao is affected," he muttered under his breath. After reaching the Supreme Realm, a cultivator becomes the source of their Dao. As such, they are no longer affected by the laws of Heaven and Earth.

However, Li Jun even felt his Law Altar was affected by this technique.

'Luckily, I reached the peak of Immortal Control.'

With a single thought, he stabilized his Law Altar and regained absolute control over his Dao.

"It seems that it's about time to get serious?"

Li Jun was serious and cautious because of the team's lack of information about Di Jiaying. She only appeared during the battle, and since Wang Wei's spies in the Di Clan were of low status, he was unaware of her existence, let alone gather information about her.

And when she appeared for the final battle, he could not read her Fate Line due to Di Tian's prevention. That's why he manipulated Yin Gen to attack her; he wanted to gather any information about her.

And after finalizing the plan for this battle, Di Jiaying is also labeled as a variable because of the lack of information about her.
