Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 837  Li Jun vs Di Jiaying (VI)

Chapter 837  Li Jun vs Di Jiaying (VI)

'She is a Domain-type fighter, using the environment to her advantage,' a.n.a.lyzed Li Jun as his mind contemplated methods to deal with this type of opponent.

'Her technique reminded me of s.h.i.+ Ruolan from the Deception Trial. So, I should be able to use a similar method to deal with it.'

What does a Tyrant fear? Or, who can stand up to the might of a Tyrant? People who do not fear the tyrant, people who have the same strength and status as the tyrant.

Boom!

A mighty and n.o.ble aura suddenly emanated from Li Jun's body. And as soon as that aura appeared, the surrounding momentum faltered as its effect on him diminished to the point it was almost useless.

'Emperor Aura?' thought Di Jiaying, who stopped attacking; the n.o.ble aura she sensed was similar to Emperor Three Leaf, so she immediately recognized it.

'No, it's more of an imitation. But it's more than enough to deal with my technique.' What is the n.o.blest and most supreme existence between Heaven and Earth?

The answer is obvious and known to all life forms in existence–Great Emperor. So, how would a tyrant affect a being on the level of a Great Emperor? By becoming a tyrannical Great Emperor. Unfortunately, Di Jiaying has never been an Emperor and cannot emulate such an aura.

'No, my momentum is designed to suppress Emperors; how can it not work?'

As soon as she asked this question, she knew the answer. Emperor Three Leaf fought with her as a mortal in the end. So, the essence of her technique was flawed from the very beginning.

'The only way to perfect my technique would be if I had the same strength as these two.'

If she could break the boundary between Mortal and Great Emperor, then her technique would reach unimaginable heights. Sadly, she knew such a thing was not possible.

'The real question is how did Li Jun manage to even imitate the aura of an Emperor?'

She was baffled. Of course, she did not know that Li Jun had to undergo many difficult trials in the sect to get access to Immortal Tier resources. And his main trial was to resist the killing aura emanating from the dead bodies of many immortals–including Great Emperors.

After spending so much time resisting their aura, he can also imitate them to an extent.

After removing the aura's effect on his body, Li Jun went for the kill. He did not hesitate to use one of his trump cards–the Duyi Realm.

He held the spear in his hand in a throwing position.

Boom!

 A streak of red light flashed in the void as it rushed toward Di Jiaying. Immediately, her sense of danger rose to the highest level.

'I will die if not severely injured, if this thing hits me.'

[A Country's Sacrifice]

A s.h.i.+eld manifested before her with the power of trillions upon trillions of lives sacrificed for the sake of the tyrant's life. Sadly, her effort was in vain. The spear broke through her defense and pierced her heart.

Luckily, Di Jiaying's talent for battle was still high, so she moved her body to miss this vital area.

'The power of Duyi Realm? Why is it so strong? Is this a high-level application?' pondered Di Jiaying as blood spurted from her mouth and a hole the size of a tennis ball was on her stomach.

Before her battle with Emperor Three Leaf, she studied extensive knowledge about Great Emperors. As such, she knew there were four main things that contributed to an Emperor's strength: Grand Dao Source Comprehension, Dao Body, Dao Imprint, and Dao Will.

The first three were common things all Emperors had, while the latter was privy only to Pseudo and True Eternal Emperors. As such, Dao Will was also one of the things that made Eternals vastly more powerful than others.

Dao Will had three main functions: Battle Boost, Dao Imprint Erasure, and Negation.

When used correctly, it can boost an Emperor's overall battle–including speed, attack, defense, and even stamina. Dao Imprint Erasure was why Eternal Emperors were feared. As long as an Emperor had their imprints, they were immortal and eternal.

And if someone wished to remove those imprints, it usually took countless Yuan Epochs–unless they had a Dao Will.

Finally, Dao Wills were the key to dealing with other Eternal Emperors or Body Refiners. It's the ability to negate the regeneration of body refiners and eternal attributes of Eternal Emperors.

And the Duyi Realm, which is a prototype of the Dao Will, has these functions but on a lesser scale. However, from the information she gathered, applications for the Duyi Realm have been scarce in the lower dimension since the end of the Null Era.

And Di Tian did not teach her more advanced applications.

All these thoughts flashed in Di Jiaying's mind as she contemplated her next move; she could feel her regeneration had reached an all-time low. The hole in her chest, which should have been healed instantly, was closing at the speed of a turtle.

Meanwhile, Li Jun's spear reappeared in his hand. Di Jiaying knew she could not waste time and acted swiftly. Another Emperor Artifact appeared next to her; it was a small tree containing endless vitality.

The endless life force entered her body, healing her injuries. However, this was not the main objective of using this particular artifact.

[Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique]

Di Jiaying sacrificed her blood energy and vitality for the blood pearl artifact. And in return, her momentum once again skyrocketed. Such an act should have a tremendous burden or terrible price; however, the other Emperor Artifact offset the disadvantage.

'How annoying,' thought Li Jun as he felt the previous pressure on his body, the disgusting feeling that he was in a quagmire and unable to move properly. 'She won't be able to hold on while using two Emperor Artifacts. However, I have not sensed any desperation from her, meaning this is not her limit.'

[Infinite Slaughter World]

Li Jun used a domain technique to deal with Di Jiaying's domain-like battle fighting. He surrounds himself with countless small dimensions containing the power of slaughter.

As such, her momentum has to go through all these dimensions before reaching him. Then, he threw his spear for the second time.

'd.a.m.n it,' yelled Di Jiaying as she summoned the finally allowed Emperor Artifact to protect herself. Sadly, Li Jun predicted her next move as the artifact suddenly appeared in the sky, sealing hers.

What's worse is all these artifacts were sealing-based.

'Where did he get these sealing artifacts? The Dao Opening Sect does not have such a thing?' was the last thought in her mind as she defended herself.

However, such a question was stupid as most Emperor Lineages have more artifacts than Emperor cultivated. They usually originated from fortunate encounters or destroying other lineages.

Bang!

Di Jiaying lost her left arm. However, she did not scream or groan in pain. Even her eyes were cleared and focused–a fact that Li Jun noticed.

'It's almost there,' he thought as he prepared for a third attack. He saw Di Jiaying rus.h.i.+ng toward him, and he moved backward, Most secret techniques used to push strength beyond the boundary of leaves–especially 7-Leaf– are one-sided. They usually evading her. Her current strength was much higher than his at peak 8 Leaf.

The reason for his one-sided victory has to do with the side effects of most secret techniques. The difference in strength between each leaf in the Immortal Venerable stage is vast and cannot be easily breached.

Yet, this generation's Heaven Chosens treated it as nonexistent, with people easily breaking the boundary between leaves. However, this was completely true.

Most secret techniques used to push strength beyond the boundary of leaves–especially 7-Leaf– are one-sided. They usually increased the users' strength to that level, while things like speed, defense, and stamina barely changed.

Only a few secret techniques can actually give an all-encompa.s.sing boost. So, although Di Jiaying's strength reached such a level, her speed and defense were still in the 7-Leaf category. No, they were even lower since Li Jun's first attack destroyed her Immortal Armor.

Boom!

Li Jun's spear took her right arm despite going for the head. Then, he saw helplessness, fear, and despair in her eyes and facial expression.

'Interesting; she's actually baiting me to come closer and finish the job.'

He had learned Su Ya's Hidden Emotions Aura Technique from w.a.n.g Wei, so he could easily see through Di Jiaying's tactic.

Boom! Boom!

He took her remaining limbs.

'd.a.m.n it, he didn't fall for it,' she cursed internally. 'I didn't want to use it since it's from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But now, I don't have a choice.'

Then, the sound of blood rus.h.i.+ng reverberated through this infinite cosmos. Subsequently, a hidden power came out of Di Jiaying's body, and her deep and troublesome injury instantly healed.

And this was not the end as her aura continued to increase until it reached an unknown boundary.

'The power of Dao Ancestor 1-Root,' thought Li Jun with great concentration. 'And that power–it's Di Tian's bloodline.'

He understood Di Jiaying was using her bloodline connection with Di Tian to tap into such power. Although she is technically his ancestor, the bloodline flowing through their veins is still connected.

And for someone like Di Tian, who lived during the Beginning Emperor Era and whose main cultivation system relied on bloodline, it's nothing for him to achieve such a feat.

'She's finally desperate,' thought Li Jun. 'However, I need to be extra cautious, or I won't make it out of this situation. Luckily, I benefitted immensely from the chat with Huo Fenghuang.'
