Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256 Special Guest

Blood Dragon walked inside his quarter, and another dragon waited for him. The dragon was much older and looked human, with two black dragon horns. However, he also dressed more formally.

"Lord."

"Ao Ying, what is the result?" Blood Dragon asked as he sat around a small table with a gourd. He opened it and chugged the entire content.

"According to my investigation, you're the only one Lady Xun Junyao invited to her celebration," Ao Ying reported.

"And you're sure?"

"I've done my best, and as far as our intelligence goes, none of the other factions seems to have a personal invitation from her.

"Good, good, good," Blood Dragon repeated three times, his voice echoing in the room. Luckily, there was a sound-insulating array. "I haven't heard such good news in a while."

"Lord, how will you attend the celebration without being noticed?"

Blood Dragon looked at him. "I guess you should be a part of this plan in case something goes wrong. Come with me." He waved his hand to summon a portal before walking in. On the opposite side was a blood pool with a blood cocoon at the center.

"This clone, which has inherited more than 99% of my strength, will take my place in this hell hole."

"Sir, did you use your Blood Clone Ability? But you know doing so will aggravate —"

"It's fine," Blood Dragon stopped him, and Ao Ying sighed.

"Well, that's one part of the problem," the elderly dragon continued. "What about the other part? How are you going to return home without them noticing?"

"I'll be using this," Blood Dragon replied before showing him a yellow paper with a character drawn at the center. Interestingly, the character is a dragon, and it seems to be alive upon closer observation.

"The Ancestral Dragon Talisman," Ao Ying said in shock.

"That's right," Blood Dragon replied with a smile. Ancestral Dragon is a title granted to Primal Paragon dragons, and this particular talisman was one of the dragon race's treasures from even before the Golden Era.

"But, but, but…" Ao Ying was speechless. This talisman is a treasure considered as a foundation for the dragon race. It is one of the few treasures that Blood Dragon took after his rebellion, while the others were hidden from him. But even after taking this talisman, he could not use it normally and had to sacrifice trillions of lives for an opportunity to activate it once.

"Lord, this talisman was your way out once this era ends," Ao Ying swiftly said. "Why are you wasting it?"

"What do you mean by waste?" Blood Dragon asked, his bright smile replaced by slight gloom. "Don't you understand what it means for her only to invite me? It means that out of that gloomy bastard Undead, the boring and prideful Shu Ren, and the scheming Time Eater, she chose the fearless and valiant me.

"How can a mere talisman be compared to her? In fact, I might tell just to show her how much I appreciate her."

Ao Ying wanted to tell him that no woman — no matter how beautiful — was worth the value of that talisman. However, he's been with the young master since he was a baby and knows his temper. He would only get a scolding and might even lose some trust in the process.

The creation, or improvement, of this technique was the easy part. What came next was the true challenge — the bloodline tribulation. Wang Wei's [Limit Indestructibility] should have made this process a piece of cake, but Heavenly Dao had something else planned. His tribulation was essentially a slightly weaker version of the Paragon Tribulation, meaning Wang Wei came close to death. It did not help that Heavenly Dao, no, Grand Dao, prevented him from using his 10-fold Battle Realm for the tribulation, meaning Wang Wei had to rely on his 78% cultivation and his flesh on the Third Heaven of the Adult Fiendgod Realm.

'Phew, that was something,' Wang Wei exhaled. 'Let's test this out.' He summoned the physical manifestation of [Nothingness], which materialized as a large empty scroll floating above his head.

'It's working,' Wang Wei thought. He could feel his body passively absorbing this power, and if he closed his eyes, he could confront nothingness itself to temper his willpower. He closed his eyes to check on his [Nothingness Wheel]. The thing had grown from the size of an egg to the size of a tennis ball. However, despite this tiny improvement, Wang Wei smiled.

He could tell the wheel was passively absorbing power from his bloodline, which was enough to put a smile on his face. The day when this thing is big enough, he will break his limits and achieve battle strength on par with the top of this world. Hopefully, this day will not be far away.

Wang Wei focused on the other changes of his breakthrough. 'I'm still in the Third Heaven, but I've entered the [Initial Stage] of Body-Will Fusion.'

Body-Will Fusion had four stages: initial, middle, advanced, and perfection. Wang Wei had just started. Meanwhile, Mongke was almost finished.

'The last part is the Wang Clan Bloodline,' Wang Wei thought. The next step should be to allow his clan members to benefit from the fruit of his labors. However, he decided against it.

'Any sudden change in the bloodline is easy to notice in the current situation,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'Plus, it may be better to wait until someone finishes the 10th revolution and becomes an Indestructible Empyrean before getting access to the benefits of the 11th Revolution. 'I should encourage them to make their version of the 11th revolution.'

Wang Wei left the Source Qi Space to return to the Dao Burial Ground to continue his retreat. Mongke's artifact worked better than anticipated, so he had plenty of time to improve his techniques.

Time passed, and it was finally time for Xun Junyao's celebration.
