Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Falling Dynasty?

"So, you're not going to say anything?" asked Ji Su. Unfortunately, Wang Wei ignored him and continued to pull the sword out of Sun Jiaolong's body. The process was not a peaceful one.

"You should understand that the Path of Emperor is cruel. If you do not want to lose people close to you, don't participate," said Li Jun.

"You, shut up. This has nothing to do with you. My brother died unjustly before he could grow and develop; he had his entire life in front of him, but you people took it from him."

"Unjustly? There are no just people who participate in the Throne Battle," scoffed Li Jun. "Furthermore, your brother would not have ended in that situation if you people kept your words and handed over the token.

ρα??α ??????? "You cannot even keep your words, and yet, you're talking about being unjust. What a joke?"

Ji Su looked at Li Jun with red eyes while veins kept popping on his forehead. He then removed it from his eyes before looking at Wang Wei.

"Is that how you feel as well? Don't you have any remorse for your actions?"

Wang Wei frowned slightly. He diverted part of his spiritual power to destroy Ji Su's Primordial Spirit instantly. But an invisible force seemed to block his attack.

Moreover, he could not feel, see, or sense what kind of power it was. On top of that, he did a few simulations to kill his opponent before he could react. However, in all the timelines he saw, that invisible power prevented him from succeeding.

"Would it matter if I felt any remorse?" wrote Wang Wei back in the air.

"What do you mean?"

"Forget that your hands are also stained with numerous lives, but you never regret them. So, would it matter if I felt remorse? In your current state driven by hatred, would that matter?"

Ji Su quieted down for a few seconds before saying: "Maybe, you're right. All that matters is that I get to avenge my brother." He then took out a sword and drove it into his heart without hesitation.

Ji Su coughed a mouthful of blood, and while his vitality slowly drained away, he smiled as he reminisced about his brother. Ji Su was the kind of person that was very aware of his strength, limitations, and flaws.

So, once he started cultivating, he knew he did not have the talent and, more importantly, the ambitions to become a Great Emperor. After all, not everyone had the desire to pursue immortality and eternity.

The Emperor Path is long and tortuous: a path full of blood, death, and loneliness. After sitting on that throne, one can acquire glory, wealth, power, and everlastingness.

However, not many people can remain the same person they were at the beginning of their journey. The final winner usually must sacrifice their morality, humanity, and even their friends and loved ones.

So, although the throne is the most desired position in the Endless Void, not everyone can or are willing to compete for it, and Ji Su was one of these people.

So, when he held Ji Song for the first time, he finally understood his innermost desire; he wanted to be a supporting role in that Great Competition, not the leading role.

It was a perfect position; he could one day achieve immortality while not having to go through all the trials and tribulations. So, he dedicated all his life to making his brother a Great Emperor. He began to focus on strategy so that he could be helpful.

Ji Su also ensured that his brother had a happy childhood. As a Heaven Chosen born with the Heavy Ax Physique, Ji Song has many people praising him and expectations placed on him.

Growing up in such an environment was not ideal and could affect most children mentally. And the only reason he could have a childhood at all and develop normally was because of Ji Su.

He was the only person who never showed his expectations, goals, dreams, and hopes for Ji Song. Ji Su treated him like his little brother, nothing more and nothing else.

At some point, Ji Su did not know whether he was doing all this for his brother's state of mind or because he genuinely wanted him to have a great life.

After Ji Song's defeat in the Qi Luck Trial, Ji Su watched how much he pushed himself beyond his limit–especially to temper his body. He had never seen his brother in such pain–both physically and spiritually.

And a significant part of him wanted to convince Ji Song to give up the competition and focus on living his life normally. Anyway, with his physique, he could become a great cultivator and live for a few million years.

Unfortunately, he knew that this was pointless. Ji Song was not like him: he had ambitions, drive, and talent. Not to mention that the entire dynasty was counting on him.

So, Ji Su motivated and supported him instead; he ensured that Ji Song did not let a few defeats affect his state of mind and Dao Heart. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Then came the fateful day. Ji Su watched as someone tore his little brother apart in front of trillions of people before being refined into a pill. What's worse was that his father and Great Wu's people did nothing.

They bowed their heads to his brother's killers to appease them. This act was unacceptable to Ji Su, so he took things into his hand.

While blood dripped from his mouth, Ji Su smiled viciously at Wang Wei. Li Jun took a small step forward, wanting to stay in front of his big brother and protect him. However, after seeing his calm and composed demeanor, he stopped and observed while being on guard.

Then, black marks started to appear all over Wang Wei's body. He glanced at them before words appeared in front of him.

"A curse? You're gravely mistaken if you think this is enough to get your vengeance."

Ji Su laughed aloud like a madman before replying: "No, I know this would not be enough. I never underestimate an enemy, let alone a monster like you."

He then crushed a talisman from his space ring. Immediately afterward, an enormous multicolored dragon appeared in the distance, visible throughout the entire Myriad Emperor World by all cultivators.
