Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551 Saint

"Oh, I almost forgot," said Lord Spirit. "I know the sudden rule change might affect how many of you view this trial."

The participants wanted to roll their eyes. With the new rules, most of the eight trials are essentially useless. As long as they performed the bare minimum to acquire enough points, everything else did not matter since they could win this trial by taking the number one seeded token.

And if they applied the rules correctly, they probably do not even need the points.

Lord Spirit smiled as he read these people's minds through their facial expressions.

"For the next trial, the first place prize is extremely precious, so you should do your best. Additionally, other prizes may be as valuable as this one in the other trials."

"What's the prize?" asked someone.

"All I can say is if you get your hands on it, it is enough to remove any regrets for not acquiring the final inheritance."

Everyone squinted their eyes as they became more serious. Lord Spirit smiled cunningly before telling everyone to begin the subsequent trial.

After entering the Pagoda, Wang Wei could sense different types of energy or Qi floating in the environment. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. The first part of the test was to control basic Spiritual Qi available in every world across the Endless Void.

First, he had to control it to do many complex shapes to show the level of his control. Then, he had to use them to cast spells or other techniques. He had to create the largest destructive power using the smallest amount of energy.

For example, 1 string of spiritual Qi could create 1 ton of TNT in terms of destruction. An expert in energy control can use 1 string to cause 100 ton of TNT. And a person at Wang Wei's level could use a tenth of a string of Spiritual Qi to create at least 100,000 tons of TNT damage.

After doing so, Wang Wei then proceeded to another energy. Although he could not recognize what it was, he knew it was of a higher level than Spiritual Qi, but not quite at the level of Innate Qi,

So, he did the same process: mold it before using it to display different levels of damage using the smallest amount possible. The process was slightly more difficult because of the higher quality of the energy, but he did not have a problem.

There were ten different energies. And each one higher than the others. Some of the ones in the higher level seemed to have wills of their own, making them even more challenging to control.

Nevertheless, the entire trial was worthwhile of his time since it allowed him to apply his [Force Control Skill] and become more adept with it. Then, he waited for the result.

A few minutes later, Lord Spirit's voice echoed in his trial room.

"We have an unexpected result. Young Master Chu Luo and Young Master Wang Wei tied for first place."

Many people sighed after hearing this; they had already begun to suspect these two might be in a league of their own. Meanwhile, Chu Luo was not happy.

He had almost finished his Nine Extremity Dao Foundation, having absorbed 90% of all his power from all his reincarnations. Meanwhile, his adversary could only be said to be in the middle of his process, not even knowing whether he would succeed in setting a True Nine Extremity Foundation.

Yet, he still lost. Yes, to him, a tie is a loss.

So, he took a deep breath to calm down. Everything was fine as long as the number one token remained in his hand.

'No matter what, I must get my hands on that technique to compensate for my flaw.'

"Now, for the final prize I mentioned," said Lord Spirit, who took a pause that was too long for many people's comfort.

"There is no prize; I deceived all of you."

Many people began to curse out loud in their different rooms. They swore they would call their Elders and Ancestors to level this place to the ground.

"Hahaha, I was kidding," continued Lord Spirit. "The prize is Dragon Sovereign Qi: one string for each of our first-place contenders."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing about the final prize. Dragon Sovereign Qi was an energy capable of creating an Insurgent Immortal Venerable on par with a Third-Class Great Emperor.

So, as long as the sect found someone talented or suited to refine that one string, they will have another Insurgent.

"The main body currently has peak 1-Leaf strength and can probably fight 2-Leaf Immortal Venerable for a few rounds," Wang Wei muttered before he was interrupted.

"The winner of this competition is…Young Master Wang Wei. He is the person who improved the most during the past 100 years."

Lord Spirit had to try extremely hard to hide his shock. One hundred years is not a long time for cultivators, and it is impossible to expect significant improvement in such a short time–especially regarding law comprehension that takes thousands of years.

Yet, today, he saw a miracle.

Even in the particular case of this trial where the laws are easier to understand, such an improvement is unimaginable.

'Maybe, the master will finally find a suitable inheritor.'

"There is no special prize for the top 3 of this trial. That's all for today, and see you in another week for the Willpower and Dao Heart Trial."

Wang Wei walked out of the pagoda. He sensed a sharp gaze and looked over to see Chu Luo staring at him.

'Do you finally see me as a competitor?' He smiled but did not say anything. He thought there would be some time formation in the pagoda so that time would not pass long on the outside.

He was wrong: a hundred years had passed. This news made him smile as he sensed his other incarnations.

'7 of them have already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm and even finished condensing most of their black holes. However, there was a slight problem with one that caused a delay.

The Order Incarnation's mission had something go wrong that delayed him. So, he is still in the Saint Realm and his memories sealed.

'If I borrow the power of the incarnations, I should have the power of 2-Root Dao Ancestor.'

Although he did not know for sure, he had a feeling. Nevertheless, he decided to test his full strength on Ancestor Wucheng. But now, he focused on the task at hand since he knew a few battles should occur.
