Chapter 1278  First Battle With The Parasites

[Unedited Chapter]

----

A flame manifested on Five Feather's face, her deformed skull returned to normal, and her skin was as smooth as a lake's reflection under the moonlight. She stared at him with red eyes, her killing intent shattering the void, but it healed instantly, creating a situation where countless void tears materialized around Five Feathers.

"How dare you lowly thing injure me!"

"Lowly?" w.a.n.g Wei looked at her incredulously before starting to laugh without restraint; it was as if he had heard the biggest joke between all Heaven and Myriad Worlds.

"You, of all people, call me lowly? I have talent that you can only dream of. My ancestors created a foundation that spread through the Chaos Universe. Of all the infinite life in this world, Heaven and Earth chose me to bear the destiny of the next era. And you dare call me lowly?"

w.a.n.g Wei looked at her with a sneer.

"What do you have that can stand against me? Your cultivation? It's only a matter of time before I surpa.s.s you and can treat you as an ant. Is it because you're one of the seven moons and a ruler of this world? But you and I both know that you're only a guarding dog of the two suns — not the true ruler of this world.

"So, tell me, where does your arrogance come from?"

Five Feathers clenched her hands. She felt her pride being trampled. The sad part is that the latter is telling the truth, which hurts even more. Her killing intent suddenly increased.

"You can say whatever you want, but it won't change the fact you're just a weak Empyrean. After I kill you, all the glorious halo that surrounds you will mean nothing."

"Let's see if you have this strength," w.a.n.g Wei smiled. He moved his staff in a circular motion, preparing to attack. Li Jun was a master of weapons, and w.a.n.g Wei has fought him countless times using his Dream Technique. As such, he also learned to wield all weapons. Additionally, he read all the cultivation techniques in the lower dimension, many of which involved Stick Dao.

Five Feathers did not play around. She was already furious at w.a.n.g Wei for what had previously happened, and his words sent her over the edge. All she thought about was how to kill him as fast as possible. She raised her hand to summon the River of Time and controlled its power to summon a temporal storm.

Whenever the storm pa.s.sed by, the s.p.a.ce-time continuum became chaotic. The gra.s.s instantly aged millions of years, some dying off while others evolved due to the pa.s.sage of time. Mountains and rivers disappeared or reappeared. The ravage of time changed the topography. Some places disappeared because time reverted to a period where they did not exist, and some appeared because of the opposite.

w.a.n.g Wei's eyes squinted. He immediately deduced what would happen to him if this attack hit. He would either age and become feeble like an old man, revert to his youth, and lose his strength, or he would explode as his body constantly changes from aging and de-aging.

He summoned 33 of his [Future Buddha Self] to form a formation that instantly suppressed this temporal storm. Five Feathers would not give up this opportunity and immediately used one of her most powerful technique: Innate Five Elements Light.

She was a rare breed of phoenix born with the power of the Five Elements instead of just fire or ice. The Innate Five Elements Light was the accompanying divine ability she was born with, and over the years, she has cultivated it to a terrifying level.

w.a.n.g Wei was on the highest alert. He had experienced similar techniques, but none were as deadly as this one. The five elements perfectly rotate to create a destructive force, unlike anything he's experienced.

'This is no longer Five Element Dao, but Destruction Dao,' w.a.n.g Wei concluded. This light destroyed anything in its path: matter, light, s.p.a.ce, time, energy, and even concepts. Additionally, the thing was moving so fast that w.a.n.g Wei could barely react, and that's not to mention how this light had locked on him and removed most of his escape.

'I was right not to underestimate her,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. Wu Hong once told him that no matter how bad these guys were, they were Paragons, and this fact alone meant they were a real threat. No one ordinary can become a Paragon. The parasites are despised by w.a.n.g Wei and people like Wu Hong and Yan Hai, but that's only because their standards are too high and they are anomalies.

w.a.n.g Wei held his staff and directly attacked the light. Five Feathers sneered, thinking the lad was young, arrogant, and did not fully grasp the vast difference between the Paragon and Empyrean Realm. Sadly, she was the only one underestimating her opponent.

w.a.n.g Wei's attack bounced the light to her, shocking her. That should have been impossible, and technically, she was correct. The possibility of her attack being bounced back was astronomical low. It's so low that it should be cla.s.sified as a probability impossibility. Sadly, when someone controls Luck Dao to such a height as w.a.n.g Wei, he can make these impossibilities a reality, almost like creating miracles.

Five Feathers woke up from the shock. She waved her hand to disperse the light. She spent trillions of yuan epochs developing this technique, so how could it hurt her? However, w.a.n.g Wei's goal was never to hurt her. Although it was a common tactic of messing up the opponent's mind by beating them with their own Dao or techniques, he was not so arrogant that he could do this to a Paragon — at least not in his current state. His primary objective was to change the rhythm of this match. Although it had only started, Five Feathers was ruthless and overbearing, and in just two attacks, she forced him into a pa.s.sive state. He could not allow that to continue.

His staff suddenly elongated above Five Feathers's head, and he smashed downward. The beautiful Phoenix's face changed. This attack was not a simple weapon smash. No, it contained a technique that w.a.n.g Wei had created.

He once read a Staff Dao Emperor Scripture called [Critical Hit Path]. The idea behind this scripture was that these mysterious trajectories existed between Heaven and Earth. If someone could follow them with their weapons, they could perform a critical hit — an exponentially more potent attack than usual. The critical hits could increase an attack's potency by as little as 10%, and there were no upper limits. However, the higher the critical hit, the more trajectory the attack needed to follow.

Even the author of this technique never reached a critical hit beyond 20 times because of the complex trajectories. This technique had potential, and w.a.n.g Wei once tried to develop it. However, he had to give up after reaching a critical hit of 33 times because these trajectories were too much, even for his powerful mind.

Additionally, he discovered that the higher the realm, the more complex they became. In the Emperor Realm, he reached a critical hit of 33 times, but his limit dropped to 28 in the Empyrean Realm. Unless he spent countless yuan epochs studying and developing this technique, he could not return to the original 33.

Five Feathers summoned her Earth, turning herself into a rock woman. When the staff hit her head, it cracked, and she flew into the earth. However, she landed on her feet, and her injury was only a minor head scratch.

'This technique has a lot of potential,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. Although it appeared that that strike was useless, w.a.n.g Wei knew otherwise. The Earth Dao defense technique Five Feathers used is probably one of her life-saving and ultimate defensive methods. She connected to the Earth of the entire Eternal Ascension World and used it to protect herself. How vast is the Eternal Ascension World? How big is its earth? And for her to summon so much of its power, she must have used her status and destiny as one of the world's ruler to deepen her connection with the Earrth.

Yet, with that attack, he still broke through her defense.

'The side effects are too much,' w.a.n.g Wei complained. It takes a lot of focus and calculation for him to achieve critical hits above ten times, and given the fact his attacks now were at the Paragon- Level, the burden on his soul was something even w.a.n.g Wei could not bear.

'I have a feeling this technique will be very useful at the Primal, no, Half-Step Transcendence level.'

w.a.n.g Wei thought, making a mental note. He appreciated this technique, but not as much as now. So, he decided to take more time studying it and maybe even find its creator if they were alive.

'On another note, this phoenix is actually very talented, especially if you compare her directly to that stupid blood dragon,' he thought. All the techniques she's shown so far were excellent, raising w.a.n.g Wei's appraisal of her by a decent amount.
