Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 396: Trump Cards

Chapter 396: Trump Cards

His new state granted him the power of Intangibility, meaning he was untouched by all forces in the natural world, including the power of Laws that governed the known universe.

So, with this boost in power, he rushed toward Di Tian not fearing the latter's attack. He waved his hand to use an attack:

"[Destiny of Death]

A gigantic gray made of strings descended from heaven towards Di Tian. The palm contained the power of Destiny, with the ability to control the ultimate fate of all things in existence; Death.

As this attack rushed towards him, Di Tian frowned as he could feel that this was a technique recently created based on his [Interchange Life and Death].

While he used the power of Reincarnation to control Life and Death, this technique used Fate to control Life and Death; essentially, the same result using different means or methods.

'What a terrifying comprehension,' he thought, finally getting a glimpse at w.a.n.g Wei's potential. All the attacks in his [Nine Samsara Fist] are the pinnacle of all his abilities or comprehension.

It took him ten lifetimes to refine each of them to the pinnacle. With each comprehension he has during a reincarnation, each experience, he added it to his scripture.

However, w.a.n.g Wei managed to easily copy more than 70% of one of his attacks after seeing it once.

'Is this the level of comprehension granted to him by his strange soul?' thought Di Tian as he punched the gray hand and instantly destroyed it.

'He is indeed a variable, so he cannot be allowed to live any longer. No one can stop me from proving the Dao in this generation; this is my last chance.'

He rushed toward w.a.n.g Wei at an increased of his speed. This time, even the River of Fate could not keep up. He punched using the first fist in his scripture.

[The Last Breath].

This is a technique that destroys all matter in the universe, capable of atomizing anything that it touches. This technique contained not only the principle of Death but also Destruction.

Boom!

The powerful fist hit w.a.n.g Wei's body, sending a powerful shockwave in the dark, empty, and lonely void. However, he was perfectly intact. In his current state, nothing including Laws could touch him.

'Intangibility? Even his soul is in that state. Although I could use overwhelming force to remove him from that state, it would be better to wait since he could not last long anyway,' thought Di Tian.

However, after making that plan, he frowned for some reason. Nevertheless, he still executed his plan. With his absolute speed, he began to kite w.a.n.g Wei's attacks, preventing them from even touching him.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei knew that he was in a very bad predicament. No matter what attack he used, it was useless. Plus, his Intangibility State was rapidly running out because he just learned of it and it was unstable.

During this battle, w.a.n.g Wei learned a hard truth: his Fate Abilities were limited in power when confronting truly powerful individuals. Not only that, but they also lacked versatility.

Of course, he also knows one of the reasons for that is the power of Law is needed to truly exert the full power of Fate. Nevertheless, it was still a shortcoming. One that he actually found a way to deal with in this battle.

In this fight, he realized that Life, Death, Reincarnation, and time are all part of Fate. People are born, they age, they get sick, and die; this is all part of fate.

As such, he can control these Daos through fate without having to study them individually–although doing so would help. He learned that fate is such an encompa.s.sing Dao that does not lose with Chaos Dao that contains all Daos.

So, w.a.n.g Wei knows that as long as he finds a way to survive this encounter, he can review this entire fight to learn from it and absorb Di Tian's use of Life and Death Dao.

Exactly one minute later, his intangibility ended and w.a.n.g Wei was painted up. Given how powerful his fleshly body shows how much of an impact this state has on him.

'I guess it's time I used my trump card. d.a.m.n, this d.a.m.n crying is becoming more and more difficult to block. Plus, what's with this rancid smell.'

He took out a talisman from his s.p.a.ce and ring and used his origin essence to activate it. However, nothing occurred.

'How come?' This was something given to him by his beautiful, s.e.xy, and powerful wife.

"What did you do?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

"Since I know she is your biggest supporter and reliance, how would I not take preventive measures?" replied Di Tian. After his defeat at the hands of Empress Wu, he was obsessed with her for a while–not because of her beauty, but because of her strength.

So, Di Tian spent many of his reincarnations reviewing the battle against her, learning from his defeat, and planning on how he would face her again if he had the chance.

Based on his a.n.a.lysis, after she defeated him and absorbed his Devil's body talent and power, her strength reached 8 reincarnations. And based on this knowledge, Di Tian knew that his current self could easily defeat that version of Empress Wu.

The Nine Reincarnation was truly a world apart from the other 8. It could be said that the increase in strength is even greater than the other 8 combined.

Unlike the other reincarnations that were required to reach the Quasi-Realm to absorb the cultivation level of the previous life, the 9th reincarnation would undergo a change in each cultivation realm.

From what Di Tian remembered, he had the strength of the Supreme Realm as soon as he entered the Divine Altar Realm. And by the Peak, he already had the strength of a Quasi-Emperor.

And now, in the Primordial Spirit Realm, he could not fathom how strong he was. So, with his power along with the help of a formation and a few Emperor Artifacts, it's very simple to block the method of Wu Hong based on his countless years of studying her.

Without saying anything else, w.a.n.g Wei put the talisman away, then, a third eye appeared on his forehead: the Heavenly Eye of Fate.

This was an ability he awakened after opening his Third-Eye Chakra. This ability was related to his Fate Puppeteer Physique and allowed him to summon a projection of the River of Fate.

However, in this world, w.a.n.g Wei could summon the real thing, plus, he used the [8 Trigram Turtle Sh.e.l.l] from the Heaven Mystery Pavilion to boost the ability of this eye.

Then, the River of Fate rushed towards Di Tian who had a rare solemn look on his face as he knew what would happen if he allowed this river to wash over him.

He could disappear entirely as his existence is washed away, forcibly erased from the annals of history. Anyone who ever knew would cease to remember, their memories wiped away; it would be as if he never existed.

He could be a.s.similated by the river thus turning into someone completely different; his fate forever forcibly altered. It could be transferred to someone else or divided between different people.

Either way, if that happened, Di Tian knew that he would lose everything. His talent, strength, dreams, goals, and ambitions. He would no longer be himself.

Another possible effect of the River of Fate is to be stuck inside in the form of exile. And if that were to happen, he knew that he could not survive long inside even with his power. It would only be a matter of time before being a.s.similated.

As the river approached him, Di Tian could tell the purpose after a rapid a.n.a.lysis. This attack was met to seal him inside; it was a combination of the Power of Fate and the sealing abilities of Empress Wu.

With a wave of his hand, an illusory river also appeared around Di Tian to protect. The river was pure white with glitters scattered all over; each of these myriad glitters shone more brightly than any stars.

As soon as w.a.n.g Wei saw that river, his life flashed across his eyes. Basically, he saw everything that happened to him in his early years on Earth, then, he saw his birth in this world and all the things he did in his 1000 years of cultivation.

Once the vision reached the current presence, w.a.n.g Wei immediately cut it off as he had a feeling that something terrible would happen if he continued watching. Then, he muttered:

"The River of Time."

As soon as the projection of the River of Time appeared, it easily blocked w.a.n.g Wei's River of Fate. After seeing the outcome, w.a.n.g Wei did not even have the time to sigh as he knew that time was running out.

The River of Fate did not only attack Di Tian but also the formation that surrounded this world. Unfortunately, the formation was more powerful than he imagined and easily defended against the attack.

Over the course of this battle, w.a.n.g Wei wanted to take some time to a.n.a.lyze the formation to see if he could find a weak spot on it and break it. Unfortunately, he had to focus all his soul, mind, and spirit on this battle.

Even with all his spirit particles, he could not divide his mind to study this formation. Even when he did so with the Path Seeking Stone, he was taking a gamble and risking his life.

After seeing his attack once again fail, w.a.n.g Wei waved his hand, and two gray orbs floated in front of him.

'If this next attack fails, then, I might have to rely on luck to survive this situation.'
