Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 877

877 Struggling

Wang Wei's heart skipped a beat; he felt a great sense of danger.

'What's going on?' He was baffled by Di Tian's sudden change in aura and strength. Furthermore, all the methods of detection he could use were useless as he could not peep at a single piece of information.

Boom!

Before he could react and in deep thought, Di Tian appeared before him and punched him. Wang Wei's body punched a hole through the space of the Yin Dimension and appeared thousands of light years away.

However, he did not care about such an insignificant thing as he focused on his arm. His arms had become necrotic, as if he was a corpse that had been decomposed for hundreds of years.

'The Power of Death?'

His confusion was due to the fact he could not remove the power of Death from his body–even with his Life and Death (Samsara) Dao. So, exploded his hands before regenerating them.

While flying away with great momentum, Di Tian suddenly appeared before him for the second time. However, Wang Wei was concentrating, so he noticed the movement.

He gathered his True Will along with his Dao and countered the latter's punch with his own.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave shocked the entire Yin Dimension. However, such a terrible sound was quickly overshadowed by a cracking sound. Wang Wei looked with great shock as his bones cracked, almost fracturing if not for reinforcement of his True Will.

Additionally, it was not just his bones. His skin was lacerated, his muscles and tendons snapped like the string from a bow, and meridians exploded.

'His strength…'

Wang Wei immediately realized his attacks experienced reincarnation upon coming into contact with Di Tian's fists, thus rendering them useless. Meanwhile, the opponent's attack overwhelmed him and almost entered his body.

But, even with the protection from his True Will, his potent fleshly body did not survive the clash.

'His strength has reached 7% Grand Dao Source,' analyzed Wang Wei. In their previous confrontation, the strength displayed by the two fluctuated between 5 to 6%, and only when Di Tian used Heavenly Dao's power did they exceed such a level.

But now, DI Tian has surpassed that level by relying on his own strength.

'Moreover, this is not the most important thing.'

These words were the last thought of Wang Wei before Di Tian killed him. Wang Wei felt as if that single foot bore a weight that even words or concepts like decilion could not quantify.

Boom!

Wang Wei's body and soul exploded, not even leaving a single drop of blood. Such an attack should have ended his path of the Dao, but things were not simple.

Di Tian looked in the distance. He knew how the latter escaped. Before his body exploded, he opened a hole in his back and sent a drop of black into the distance. Afterward, it's simple for him to regenerate from that drop.

'The Weight of Samsara? The Weight of Karma?'

Wang Wei had a technique similar to this, so he swiftly analyzed Di Tian's technique. That kick bore the weight of all the souls in Samsara, including the weight of Karma–both sinful and virtuous.

'That's not important right now,' thought Wang Wei. 'My Daos seemed restricted in front of him. Mobilizing them has become extremely difficult, and my Samsara Dao seemed useless.'

His mind worked on overdrive, trying to figure out what was going on. He sensed Di Tian approaching and suddenly disappeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The environment around Wang Wei kept changing while he looked in one direction.

[Infinite Layer World]

Wang Wei used his Space-Time Dao to create a dimension as large–

if not larger–than the current Yin Dimension, hiding his body. Di Tian would bulldoze the dimensions, bringing it to the end or death. However, Wang Wei kept creating more, creating countless layers of worlds between himself and his opponent.

According to legends, the Candle Dragon will appear with its eyes closed before any world is created. Then, it will open its eyes for the first time in its life.

The process of opening its eyes will complete the final process of the birth of the world, including establishing its laws and nurturing the birth of Heavenly Dao.

And when the world reaches its end and is about to be destroyed, the Candle Dragon will return and close its eyes, bringing it to its final destination.

Di Tian's Candle Dragon gazed intently at Wang Wei before closing its eyes.

Boom!

A terrifying power of destruction traveled between Heaven and Earth, destroying everything, including the Yin and Yang Dimension. Wang Wei watched the entire process with a calm demeanor, knowing he could not resist such an act.

And even if he could, it was not worth doing.

His body, soul, and Dao dissipated between heaven and earth. So, was this it for his journey? Not quite.

After his death, Wang Wei's Innate Talent–the Wheel of Life and Death–activated and brought him to life perfectly intact. After learning about Longevity Resources, he has been training this talent to grant him a few extra lives after proving the Dao.

As such, he succeeded in raising it to the level that it could revive him nine times without using any energy to heal like it used to.

'I only have two lives left,' thought Wang Wei as he realized the devastating consequences of Di Tian's attacks. He did not have the nine lives he should have, but only three.

'I must do whatever is necessary to find the truth of his technique. Hopefully, two is plenty enough.'

Wang Wei had other means to revive himself. At his level, death has started to become meaningless. However, these methods often have limitations, like he needed a certain part of him to survive or he needed outside help or preparation.

Only the Life and Death Wheel granted him complete revival without any preparations or consequences, similar to the Death Substitution Talisman.

Wang Wei watched the red dragon disappear, knowing this battle had reached a tipping point. If he is not careful, he will suffer a fate worse than death–the end of his Dao Journey.
