Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1356 The Ceremony Is Completed

Chapter 1356  The Ceremony Is Completed

{unedited Chapter]

---

The Earth Emperor's body, whose proper name is Shu Ren, released a gray mist. It enveloped everything in its path and froze it at a fundamental level. w.a.n.g Wei's body moved out of the way, but the fog followed him like maggots chasing after expired meat.

After realizing he could not escape, w.a.n.g Wei gathered the most abundant yang energy in his body and blew up, releasing a fiery fog to counter the enemy. His approach worked, but Shu Ren calmly released a black fog and molded it into a towering hand.

Boom!

The attack was too fast, and w.a.n.g Wei was sent flying. His two arms had turned into popsicles, and his soul heard owls of despair. w.a.n.g Wei remained calm and removed the enemy's shoddy application of a Dao Will Artifact. His arm regenerated, and his soul was intact.

[Extreme Yin Spear]

Shu Ren waved his hand to condense a black spear. He threw it with unparalleled force, making w.a.n.g Wei's face turn ugly. He punched the spear, but his body took dozens of steps into the void. He looked intact, but anyone with discerning eyes could see the freezing signs on his arms and upper torso.

Shu Ren's brow furrowed as he summoned hundreds of these black spears. They rushed toward their opponent, blocking the sky like they were raining.

[Extreme Yang Body]

w.a.n.g Wei's body turned into an elemental-like fire creature as he desperately combatted this rain of spears. The flame helped him with the freezing aspect of the attack, but the spears were too fast, and there were too many.

Additionally, he discovered that his speed was drastically decreasing with each pa.s.sing second, meaning the longer this attack lasted, the slower he became and the more injuries he received. The raining spear ended, and w.a.n.g Wei looked like Swiss cheese. However, despite his situation, his eyes remained calm and focused.

He suddenly teleported in front of Shu Ren and kicked him. However, the ruler of the Great Chu Divine Dynasty was calm — almost too calm. His Dao was Extreme Yin, and he could separate it into Extreme and Yin Dao. He activated his Extreme s.h.i.+eld, easily blocking that kick.

Then, with a thought, all the spears in w.a.n.g Wei's body exploded, sending his mutilated body flying thousands of light years away. Shu Ren activated [Extreme Speed] and rushed over, trying to annihilate the body in one fell swoop.

Shu Ren's hands suddenly condensed a terrifying amount of Death Qi, turning his palm into a Death Claw. Then, he headed directly for the immobile w.a.n.g Wei's head.

[Yin-Yang Reversal]

As soon as the attack reached him, w.a.n.g Wei activated his Yin-Yang Dao, reversing the damage to his opponent. His actions were unexpected and swift, but not with the best effort. Shu Ren might have fallen for this trick if it had been before, but his time at the frontier awakened his instinct as a warrior.

[Extreme Defense] [Extreme Regeneration]

Shu Ren tanked w.a.n.g Wei's counterattack, but he also did not stop attacking. Most of the Death Qi from his claw dissipated, but the force of the claw still hit w.a.n.g Wei's body, sending him flying through the void.

Shu Ren looked at his palm before looking at w.a.n.g Wei; "You're so weak. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so weak." He did not let his current advantage overwhelm his senses. The frontier taught him the price of underestimating any enemy.

"What's it to you whether I'm weak or not," w.a.n.g Wei replied calmly. The good news for him was that Shu Ren's application of Dao Will was indeed terrible, and with his pseudo-Will Immortality, his body soon recovered after giving him time to breathe.

"You're injured," Shu Ren announced. "It should have been the work of the lock. That's why your performance is so terrible. It's probably why you even considered working with me in the first place."

"You can think whatever you want."

Shu Ren licked his lips. This was a perfect opportunity to catch this b.a.s.t.a.r.d and turn him into a wisdom artifact. He waved his hand, and two more terrifying aura appeared before him. w.a.n.g Wei's face turned ugly after seeing the two Creation Lifeforms that were also Paragons.

Achieving Paragon Strength through the Taboo Battle Realm had one flaw — the lack of evolution of the Grandmist Wheel. Although he could fight with these Paragons, they can besiege him if they use their best Creation Lives. w.a.n.g Wei did not hesitate to use his Order-Disorder Dao, banis.h.i.+ng the appearance of Creation Lives in this battle. He used Willpower backlash as a Disorder, thus making his appearance paler.

"Another injury, huh?" Shu Ren smiled. He did not mind that he had lost a few helpers since it meant drastically weakening his opponent. He activated [Extreme Speed] and [Extreme Strength], and with one step, he appeared before w.a.n.g Wei.

Bang!

Half of w.a.n.g Wei's body exploded into a blood mist, and Shu Ren licked his lips. He understood why that pervert Undead Phoenix enjoyed tormenting these geniuses. Seeing these people, who are usually proud and arrogant, struggle while at death's door can bring true spiritual satisfaction.

w.a.n.g Wei's blood turned into spears, but with a thought, Shu Ren froze them. He looked into w.a.n.g Wei's eyes, and the latter's regeneration suddenly paused.

'Yes, his soul is indeed in a weak state,' Shu Ren thought. Although he was confident in his guess, he had to check. As a person whose Dao contained Yin Dao, he could be considered a master of the Soul.

[Corrosive Moon]

Shu Ren raised his hand to condense a beautiful moon in the void. w.a.n.g Wei's mind was affected, and he was drawn by the moon, even temporarily stopping his regeneration. A blue beam of light flew from the moon, and the danger suddenly awakened him. He raised his hand to block. His palms turned into skeletons, but he successfully blocked the beam. Or so he thought.

w.a.n.g Wei's face turned ugly as he noticed this strange moonlight inside his Sea of Consciousness. This thing was destroying his soul power at an alarming rate. The worst part is that power was like a maggot — he could not get rid of it no matter what he did. Without much choice, he had no choice but to cut off the part it was attached to, thus permanently losing some of his soul power.

Shu Ren suddenly chuckled; his laughter echoed through the void. "Where is your previous arrogance?"

"Only an idiot will celebrate victory before a battle ends," w.a.n.g Wei sneered. "There is plenty of time, and I guarantee you that by the end, I'll rip your heart from your chest and use it as a trophy."

"You mean like this," Shu Ren mocked. He raised his palm to condense an Extreme Yin Crystal, and with a thought, it turned into a beating heart. w.a.n.g Wei looked shocked as he sensed a cold energy coursing through his blood and veins.

Shu Ren laughed and became even more arrogant. Although his Dao was Extreme Yin, he still dabbled in Yin-Yang, and this technique was a basic application. He exchanged a yin item for w.a.n.g Wei's heart, which contained an extreme amount of yang energy.

w.a.n.g Wei calmly suppressed the h.e.l.l-like cold inside his body and said with a strange tone: "This was easier than I thought." Shu Ren suddenly felt a sense of impending doom and disaster.

"You have injured me enough, meaning the requirements for the ceremony have been met," w.a.n.g Wei continued. As soon as he finished, two magical circles appeared above the battlefield.

"What did you do?" Shu Ren roared, trying to run away, but it was futile. The tattoo of the clock flew out of w.a.n.g Wei's chest and floated above Shu Ren's head. The clock's handle moved until it reached the skull. A terrifying power descended from the sky into Shu Ren. He reacted swiftly by activating all his defensive and life-saving measures, but it did not matter.

His body started to age at an alarming rate. In a matter of seconds, he turned into an elderly man with long white hair, cloudy eyes, a beard longer than his knees, and thinner than a mummy.

"You're still alive? I guess I underestimated you," w.a.n.g Wei said. He raised his hand to manifest a Hand of Time. With the opponent's current situation, Time Dao was the best approach to kill him as soon as possible. However, the Earth Emperor proved he was not a regular Paragon.

As death approached him, he summoned a dimension of probably his version of h.e.l.l that he created. This projection contained some of the aura of Yama King, which allowed it to block w.a.n.g Wei's potent offensive. Then, Shu Ren was decisive as he blew the dimension to buy him enough time to run away.

'Escape?' w.a.n.g Wei thought as he searched around. There were no signs of the latter. 'That can be. I need you to lose at least one life.' He raised his hand to summon his karma thread, focusing on the ones related to his t.i.tle as the [Earth Emperor]. He used it to connect to Shu Ren and cast a curse. This was one of his creations that combined with his Order-Disorder Dao. The conditions of the curse were simple: neither of them could use Longevity Pills that can increase lifespan.

Such conditions are usually useless for Tier 10 cultivators since they are immortal. However, Shu Ren's condition was that his [Existence] was affected by the power of time, thus aging him. The best way to heal such an injury is longevity pills.

'Now, his only choice is to sacrifice one life to return to his peak,' w.a.n.g Wei thought with a smile.
