Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 654 Defamation

Chapter 654 Defamation

After this intense battle, many people could not help but look at these two with horror–especially Di Tian. Most people thought he had ceased to be a viable candidate for the throne. But after disappearing for more than a hundred thousand years, he showed up to declare the throne was his, and only one other person may stop him.

At this point, they all have the same thoughts: do whatever is necessary to get rid of the two. It could be poison, alliance, formation, or a.s.sa.s.sination. Some daring one even thought about breaking the Immortal-Avenue Pact and asking their faction to send some of their Immortal Ancestors to get rid of these people.f?e??e?n?vel.???

Di Tian calmly looked at everyone's reaction and guessed their thoughts and planning for the future. 'I need a powerful general.' He foresaw the possibility that the battle between him and w.a.n.g Wei might be very close. And such a battle, anything could tilt the result.

He did not care for these people's alliance and used canon fodder to try to kill him. However, if he has to spend time dealing with them, it would mean his Origin Essence, Spiritual Power, and stamina are not at their peak. And in a battle of such magnitude, the slightest difference could mean losing. So, he needed someone to deal with these people and ensure he remained in peak shape.

Of course, he was not the only one who came to this conclusion. w.a.n.g Wei predicted this possible outcome long ago. Hence the reason he wanted Li Jun to reach Immortal Venerable strength.

'You know what to do, right?'

'Don't worry,' replied Li Jun. 'None of them will touch a hair on you. You will be in perfect shape before you fight him.'

'What about you?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

'I've practiced the secret technique you gave me,' replied Tie Gang. 'With Yan Liling's pills, I can pay a certain price to achieve Immortal Strength.'

'Very well.'

w.a.n.g Wei nodded before continuing his observation of everyone present. Chen Chen from the Origin Weapon Mountain was not here, but he was not surprised since his Fate Shadow Guard told him of his departure.

Xu s.h.i.+ is also absent. However, he did not have any information on the latter. He knew the Academy had a plan to deal with her obsession with Lin Fan. Unfortunately, only the headmaster and a few people knew of the plan and its outcome. And the Academy has kept its mouth shut on her fate.

Regardless, their people were here to acquire a token for her.

Besides Tong Ruobing and the Origin Weapon Mountain, the people from the other main profession factions did not show up. w.a.n.g Wei expected Lou Cheng from the Origin Pill Dao Sect to suddenly rise after the inheritance of the Flame Emperor. As for Wu Ming from the Origin Rune Palace, he guessed this guy was probably trying to destroy the faction from the inside.

Xiao Songxi was giving him a complex look. After a quick a.n.a.lysis, he could guess the reason. The Star Sage Bloodline of the Baishe Clan told him how to win this generation's Heaven Will Battle. And the answer is simple if you think carefully: kill him and Di Tian or cultivate the Nine Extremity Foundation.

Killing them would require an almost impossible elaborate plan or breaking the Immortal-Avenue Pact and asking an Insurgent to take action. However, such an act would have political ramifications that would lead to the destruction of the Baishe Clan. So, Xiao Songxi is bitter since he knows his chances are slim to none.

w.a.n.g Wei then focused on Yi Lianxing, Heaven Chosen from the Deep Squid Race that called himself the Abyss Squid. He was one of the people who remained standing beside Tong Ruobing and the others.

'This guy gives me a creepy vibe and a dangerously family aura that I cannot completely identify. I should place him on my killing list.' w.a.n.g Wei calculated he could probably kill one or two more people before affecting his Era Son t.i.tle. And he is pondering using it on Yi Lianxing as his intuition told him this man had a secret that could become a variable in the upcoming battle.

'Let's observe for a while.' He did not want to rush into something and die because of the unknown; he was not stupid or c.o.c.ky because of his strength.

w.a.n.g Wei looked at Ao Shen and frowned. He sensed a powerful treasure that hid the latter's real body. Nevertheless, he felt some sense of familiarity with his aura.

'Where did the Demon Race find such a treasure? And where did they get such a powerful Heaven Chosen?' The Sleepers or the Fate Shadow Guard have not infiltrated the core of the demon race.

Countless thoughts flashed inside his mind as he pondered the information he had. He remembered reading about a secret project of the Demon Race ages ago to create the ultimate bloodline.

'Ultimate Bloodline? Atavism? Did they want to create an Innate creature? Or maybe a creature that contains all the demon race's bloodline? That would be interesting.'

He moved his eyes, making everybody's heart skip a beat. Every time he focused on someone, everyone else became tense and worried they would suffer the same fate as Yu Zhou.

w.a.n.g Wei glanced at Yang Guowei from the Yang Family before moving his eyes. Then, he sensed some tension between Jingwu Hua and Ao Shen. While he observed things, someone walked toward him.

It was a man with grey skin and yellow eyes. w.a.n.g Wei recognized him since he was one of the few who stood next to Li Jun and the other top Heaven Chosens.

"You're w.a.n.g Chong's descendant, aren't you?"

"And you are?"

"Yin Gen from the Body Dao Cave."

w.a.n.g Wei frowned. He knew about the Body Dao Cave since they were an Emperor Lineage that dated back to the Ancient Emperor Era with 4 Great Emperors. The founder of that lineage was a body-refining fanatic and was the first pure Body Refiner who proved the Dao in that era.

He called himself the Body Ancestor and wanted to spread a complimentary Body Refining Technique to the Origin System. Unfortunately, body refining was too painful, arduous, and required too many resources. Most cultivators were satisfied with the minimum tempering they had to do for the Origin System, resulting in his dream being crushed.

Over time, the Body Dao Cave became the place with the best Body Refining Techniques. Well, maybe not the best, but they have the most extensive collection and the most variety.

"Yin Gen? Where have I heard this name?" said w.a.n.g Wei, who took a moment to remember. "You're the man who lost to my ancestor, Ancient Desolate." He remembered reading about Ancient Desolate's greatest compet.i.tor after the Buddhist Emperor removed his Karma for him.

"I did not lose to him. Back then, my Heavenly Zombie Art was not completed yet."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night. So, what do you want with me?"

Yin Gen's mouth twitched slightly as he understood how easily this kid could get under people's skin. Nevertheless, he refused to argue with a junior.

"I have some conflict with your family."

"I can guess as much."

"What a rude brat," he muttered. "I have accepted my loss to w.a.n.g Chong. But tell me why, after I woke up from my seal, I learned the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] is known as the most powerful body refining scripture. And the reason for such a t.i.tle is that it grants the cultivator the ability to fight Great Emperors in the Quasi-Emperor Realm. What a load of bulls.h.i.+t."

He only lost to w.a.n.g Chong because he did not finish his Heavenly Zombie Art. But now, after sealing himself in a Yin Grotto Heaven for countless eras, he not only managed to temper his Will to a high level but also perfected his technique.

"It is indeed bulls.h.i.+t. But what can I say? Some things, people, and events are mythified due to time."

"Brat, are you saying w.a.n.g Chong did not spread these lies?"

"Quite the accusations, Lord Yin Gen," said w.a.n.g Wei with squinted eyes. "Does your Body Dao Cave have proof? Otherwise, you're defaming one of our ancestors. And our sect will not take lightly to false accusations."

Yin Gen's yellow eyes shone. "Kid, I'm not here for a war of tongues. I only care about proving I'm the best with body refining."

"Alright. Let's settle this." w.a.n.g Wei raised his hand, and Yin Gen followed. They grasped each other's hands before squeezing. They controlled their strength to prevent affecting the surroundings.

Bang!

A few seconds later, Yin Gen's hand exploded, and he looked on in shock. He did not say anything and walked away. 'There is still a chance,' he thought.

'How is it?' asked Li Jun.

'54 Primordial Dragon Force, peak 5-leaf, and room for growth?'

Li Jun squinted his eyes. 'It seems I have work cut out for me.'

Before everyone could process the situation, a vision occurred above the red Gate in the middle of the Domain: Heavenly Dao finally appeared.
