Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1113 Acquired

Chapter 1113 Acquired

1113 Acquired

Ye Dafu hit Green Wood with his staff, and the whole world suddenly turned black and white briefly. Then, in a very short period, Green Wood's eternal body experienced birth and death millions of times to test the validity of his claim to be eternal. He resisted, as his white bark skin released an intense light to fight the power of Samsara, which was rapidly destroying him on a conceptual level. He failed.

Only Everlasting Empyreans who have mastered their [True Self] can boldly proclaim to have escaped the shackles of death or Samsara, and even then, that's a wild claim that no one will make lightly. In the Chaos Universe's hierarchical structure, the Eternal Wood Qi can only be described on the lower tier of the path of eternity.

Crack!

Green Wood's body cracked in different parts, and he roared to show his unwillingness. He would not accept his fate so easily, so he tried to counterattack. What in this world could be considered truly eternal? Or, at the very least, come very close. The obvious answer is Grand Dao, but that's not something that Green Wood would dare to get involved with. So, he chose the second-best option: the universe's grand module.

He latched on the River of Fate, the River of Time, and even the Source Qi s.p.a.ce's eternal attributes to fuel his own. Many roots from his body entered the void to attach themselves to these modules and borrow their powers. So, in a split second, Green Wood's body stopped collapsing, and he had three new tree roots that were not only indestructible due to their eternal natures but also had the power to control time, fate, and endless energy.

"Idiot," sneered Ye Dafu.

[Backlash Disaster]

Can anyone meddle in the affairs of the River of Fate? The River of Time? Or even the Source Qi s.p.a.ce? No. These modules or concepts were inherently arrogant because of their power or status in the world, so how can anyone get involved with them? Ye Dafu used this fact to create a terrifying backlash against his opponent.

Green Wood had never felt so scared in his life. He felt like he was confronting ent.i.ties that words alone could not describe, and even the idea of knowing these people sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine.

"Argh," he screamed as the terror was too much. His body was collapsing at an alarming rate; he was rapidly dying on a conceptual level, meaning no one would need to wipe his memories and go through all the struggles of killing an Eternal - he would just die. No one or nothing could revive him.

However, at the last minute, Green Wood acted decisively. He swiftly cut off his connection to these ent.i.ties, abandoning most of his body. Then, he somehow controlled the chaotic spatial-temporal energy in the void to teleport him away, barely protecting himself.

"Hmm? Why is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d so good at running away?" muttered Ye Dafu. He did not expect his opponent to survive this backlash. Ye Dafu shook his head before focusing on the other aspects of the battlefield.

Commerce Hub Headquarters:

w.a.n.g Wei looked at the half-body of Green-Wood. "How stupid is this guy?" he muttered while shaking his head. He raised his hand to take out bright green light from his body. "This should be worth my trouble." He intervened at the last minute to allow this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to escape and prevent the monkey from getting his hands on the Eternal Wood Qi. Such energy was perfect for his Fate One or Dong Lifen's master, so he would not let it get into other people's hands.

'It's ridiculous how wealthy these people are,' thought w.a.n.g Wei. The Commerce Hub should be instrumental in acquiring the resources he needed to cultivate a much higher realm before ascending to the upper dimension.

"Hmm? By the strings of fate, why is this monkey making my job more difficult," complained w.a.n.g Wei before acting swiftly and teleporting him to the headquarters. Ye Dafu was embarra.s.sed as he saw the side-eye w.a.n.g Wei was giving him.

"My bad," he said. He was so careless that he was almost exiled to the upper dimension immediately after winning his match. w.a.n.g Wei grunted. "Return home, and don't show yourself again."

"No way. The fight was just getting interesting."

"When people ask you how you survive your exile, what will you say?"

"I'll say I did it on my own."

"Do you think they'll believe you?" asked w.a.n.g Wei. "Some people already have suspicions; I don't want to give them more proof I'm not gone."

Ye Dafu remained quiet briefly before exhaling deeply. "Fine, but before I leave, fight me."

"You know you're not my opponent."

"I do, but I know I can make you sweat," replied the monkey with fierce eyes.

"You're overestimating yourself," countered w.a.n.g Wei while rolling his eyes.

"You're telling me such brilliant technique as my [World Ending Disaster] would be useless? Now, you're insulting me." The monkey did not hide his emotions.

"Why would it when I can do it even better than you?"

"Bulls.h.i.+t."

w.a.n.g Wei raised his hand to show him a sign of the end of the world. The technique was similar to Ye Dafu but with even more details. The dissolution of fate not only made things and people chaotic, but in his technique, fate served as the strings holding up the very fabric of existence. On top of everything else, Ye Dafu saw the separation of Yin and Yang, the destruction of Free Will and choice, the break up between Order and Disorder, the backlash of all karmic connections, and finally, the world reverting to its original state - chaos.

'd.a.m.n it,' thought Ye Dafu, his eyes slightly red as he concentrated on w.a.n.g Wei's palm. This technique was so powerful and beautiful that it inspired him; he saw how to improve his own technique, and such a fact brought immense shame to him, followed by trampling his pride. The monkey snorted coldly as he refused to admit defeat.

"Okay. I'll give you this technique," he said with gritted teeth. "What about my Earth Emperor Positions? Surely, this technique could make you sweat."

"I control Samsara Dao, and I'm unofficially a real Earth Emperor," w.a.n.g Wei replied cooly.

"You're not lying, are you?" He had never heard w.a.n.g Wei was the Earth Emperor, hence his suspicions.

"You know I would not lie about such a thing."

The monkey showed his sharp fangs in frustration as he clenched his teeth. "The Human Emperor?" He did not dare ask about the Heavenly Emperor Position since the person before him was the First Heavenly Emperor and the one creating a new era based on the position.

"I admit I have no connection to the Human Emperor Position," nodded w.a.n.g Wei.

"See? I have to tell you that my technique does not lose to the others," said Ye Dafu with a snicker. "You should admit my current self can make you sweat in battle."

"Although I don't have any connection with it, I have a friend who's a Human Emperor, and I can just copy her Fate Line if needed," w.a.n.g Wei said calmly, and he watched as the monkey's jovial atmosphere deflated like a balloon.

"No, I refuse to believe my current strength cannot make you sweat in battle."

w.a.n.g Wei shrugged. "You saw me with your Heaven Eyes and should know the disparity between us."

Of course, Ye Dafu knew; that's why he changed his goal from landing a few hits to making him sweat. He understood the concept of managing expectations and goals.

"You wait," said the Monneky King. "This is not over. I will first train until I can make you sweat, then until I can land a few good hits, then until I can survive in a real battle, then until I'm on your level, and then I will surpa.s.s you. Mark my word - this is not over."

Ye Dafu looked at w.a.n.g Wei defiantly despite his internal fear that he might get beaten for these bold words. However, w.a.n.g Wei laughed instead, "You really are like Sun Wukong."

"Who's Sun Wukong, and how dare he claim to be like me?"

w.a.n.g Wei was speechless before condensing the story of the Journey to the West for him. Ye Dafu swiftly read it with his divine sense.

"What a stupid monkey," he proclaimed.

"Oh?"

"It's obvious this journey to the West is a plot of Buddhism to use the monkey's powerful luck and destiny for their own use, but this idiot did not realize anything and just converted in the end," said Ye Dafu, not hiding his sneer.

"I can't believe you say this stupid thing is like me. I would fight you over these words if I knew I couldn't beat you."

w.a.n.g Wei shrugged, "You have to admit the monkey's endearing."

"He has his moment," agreed Ye Dafu, who had a mischievous light in his eyes.

"What stupid thing are you plotting?"

"First, I want to beat a few monks," said Ye Dafu; he felt he needed to vent after seeing how much of a sucker this Sage Equal to Heaven was. "Then, I think I'll pay a visit to Samsara. I want to know if there is such a thing as a Book of Life and Death and whether I can remove my name from it."
