Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1107 Brainwashed

Chapter 1107 Brainwashed

1107 Brainwashed

The Red Bolt Emperor, a middle-aged man with a fierce face and dark-red spiky hair, changed his surroundings, turning them into a domain full of his red bolt: a combination of Lightning and Disa.s.sembling Dao.

Ji Lanfang found himself in a strange s.p.a.ce. An unknown force constantly tried dismantling him into his fundamental parts - atoms. His soul resisted the urge to return to the natural energy between Heaven and Earth.

He swung his sword to cut off the void, but that force dismantled his speed into countless slower slashes, thus achieving the feat of decreasing his speed.

Swis.h.!.+

A bolt of red lightning rushed toward Ji Lanfang, and he countered it with a fast sword slash. However, he missed since he was not fast enough, and his body had to move independently to evade. This technique divided his speed, which could be considered one of his counters.

Red Bolt fired ore lightning bolts rushed toward him when he saw the first test was successful. However, Ji Lanfang raised his speed, barely managing to block these attacks. The Void Mirror Emperor, observing from the side, raised his hand to fire a blue light into his partner's body.

Red Bolt's aura suddenly increased along with his power. The dismantling aspect of his Dao became more efficient, further dividing Ji Lanfang's speed, and his lightning bolts' speed drastically increased.

[Sword Stacking Skill]

Hundreds of afterimages appeared behind Ji Lanfand, each swinging their swords before fusing with his body. Then, with one slash, he cut off thousands of lightning bolts. By stocking countless sword slashes, his speed reaches another level.

After realizing this change, the Red Bolt Emperor's face changed, so he went all out. In his domain, every subatomic particle was a red bolt traveling at speed countless times faster than light. However, Ji Lanfang remained standing without any change; he moved so fast to deal with these bolts that it appeared he had not moved.

The Void Mirror Emperor raised his hand to send another blue light into his body, further boosting his stats, but it was useless. Ji Lanfang took one step to appear before his opponent and slash his sword. A mirror blocked his attack, even trying to rebound it.

However, his method of stacking attacks allowed him to slash through it. Red Bolt took this opportunity to summon pure white armor. Clink! Ji Lanfang's sword hit his opponent with no result.

"An entire armor composed of Infinitum?" asked Ji Lanfang, not hiding his surprise. "The Commerce Hub is truly rich beyond comparison." Infinitum is considered the hardest Tier 10 metal, even having the indestructible label in its tier. This kind of resource is considered rare even in the upper dimension, yet these people had enough to make an entire suit of armor.

"We've been preparing for this war for a long time, and we'll do anything to eliminate all of you who dare to resist our power," Red Bolt sneered.

"A staunch loyalist, huh?" said Ji Lanfang calmly. "Why didn't you have such vigor when w.a.n.g Wei was here?"

"Does that even matter? He's gone, and we're the final winner. We can even write history as we see fit," Red Bolt countered. Ji Lanfang shook his head.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"It's obvious that you people have been in power for too long and have become too comfortable," Ji Lanfang replied.

"What does that even mean?" The Red Bolt Emperor felt this man was speaking nonsense. They've always been careful, so how come they have become complacent, according to him?

"Let me ask you: why hasn't the Commerce Hub spread to every corner of the lower dimension?"

"We have spread to a third of the Lower Dimension; that's more than enough, as being too large is not necessarily good."

"That's just what you say to people, but according to your history, you've tried expansion many times, but each time has failed for various reasons. So, isn't it obvious why? Your destiny is not enough to become a larger force. And one of the fundamental rules of luck or destiny is whatever goes up must come down."

"Are you insinuating that this war is the beginning of our waning destiny? The start of our luck backlash? That's ridiculous."

"Is it? You've ruled for far too long. During the early stages, your existence prompted the development and growth of the lower dimension, so you had True Heavenly Dao's blessings. But now, your strict hierarchical structure has become a cancer in the world as a few individuals ruthlessly exploit everyone else for their own benefit. So, True Heavenly Dao has decided it's your time to either change or be destroyed."

"You're talking nonsense again. Our existence has allowed worlds to exchange knowledge, resources, cultures, and communication. We've elevated the lower dimension's strength, not exploited it."

"Do you truly believe so?"

"Of course."

"As an Eternal Emperor, couldn't you observe the Commerce Hub's Qi Luck and see its deterioration?" Ji Lanfang asked, extremely baffled. It was one thing if the opponent was fighting purely for its benefit and preserving his way of light, but another when he truly believed something so absurd.

"I saw it, and it was perfectly intact."

"Is that so?" said Ji Lanfang, deciding it was pointless to discuss this blind idiot who was somehow brainwashed to such an extreme. In hindsight, he has to praise the Commerce Hub for such an achievement. After all, no one who can become an Eternal Emperor is an idiot.

"In that case, let's agree to disagree," Ji Lanfang said, ending this conversation.

"Fine by me." The Red Bolt Emperor raised his hand to summon two deep red lightning bolts before rus.h.i.+ng forward. He was more confident in himself with an armor that provided maximum defense.

Swis.h.!.+

The Red Bolt Emperor saw a white flash of light, and before he could even form a thought, he saw his body as his detached head floated in the void. "How is that possible?"

"My friend's Dao is all about cutting, so I learned a few things from him," Ji Lanfang explained before turning to the Mirror Void Emperor. "You've been concocting a plan for a while now; what is it?"

"You'll soon find out."

A mirror appeared before the Void Mirror Emperor, and a clone walked out from the mirror, looking exactly like the original. Then, a blue light flashed around both of their bodies.

'I was right. The Commerce Hub gave him a unique Qi with the power to boost stats and abilities,' Ji Lanfang thought before going on the offensive. His sword moved as if the concepts of matter, energy, gravity, friction, s.p.a.ce, and time had no restraint on it. Usually, this is where the enemy is either slayed or they found a way to block, and this time, it was the latter with a twist.

As Ji Lanfang's sword reached one of the clones, his sword began to slow down until it was moving slower than a turtle.

'Time Deceleration? No, this is something different,' he thought, his mind working on overdrive. 'His Dao is a combination of s.p.a.ce and Mirror...mirror...inversion...she inverted my speed, turning into slowness.'

While one Void Mirror Emperor temporarily restricted Ji Lanfang, the other rushed to attack. It had two spikes in his hand that were made from shards or of a collapse dimension, resembling weapons composed of mirrors.

Clink!

As the second mirror emperor attacked, a sword emerged from Ji Lanfang's flesh. He blocked the s.p.a.ce-shard weapon, baffling the Void Mirror Emperor. So, he tried again, releasing a barrage of stabs and strikes, but Ji Lanfang's body had grown hundreds of spikes, all made of swords.

Bang!

Ji Lanfang broke through the technique restriction using a subtle Yin-Yang Technique that involved using the yang energy from his fleshly body and the yin energy from his soul.

"That was a flesh divine ability. I thought swordsmen disdained to cultivate the flesh," asked the Void Mirror Emperor, not hiding the mockery in his tone.

"Time has changed, and you need to keep up," replied Ji Lanfang, deciding to be more serious. He used the [Ten Thousand Sword Body Technique], a body refining technique that allowed him to temper his body by absorbing or fusing with swords. He created this technique to temper his body and used the sword wills remaining in famous swords to temper his swordsmans.h.i.+p.

Ji Lanfang tightened his grip on his sword, gathering the terrifying force from his flesh. He perfectly combined all his body's strength or force with his skill and Sword Dao, elevating his strength to a higher level-peak 5-old, to be exact.

This strike could not be described in words. Did it ignore the concepts of s.p.a.ce, time, matter, energy, and other concepts? No, it did not just do that. Instead, it used these concepts to further boost the attack's speed, entering a realm that cannot be easily described in words.

The truly scary thing is that this was not even Ji Lanfang's limit; he could swing his sword even faster.
