Chapter 1330 Second Taboo Battle Realm
[Unedited chapter]
----
Although Wang Wei's bloodline now included the [Power of Nothingness], he still feared that something would go wrong in the process. That's why he opted to focus on improving his fleshly body cultivation before starting the procedure. Now that everything was ready, he had no more scruples. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He waved his hand, and the [Nothingness Array] from the dragon palace appeared in this empty white room. However, this new array was nothing compared to the previous one since Wu Hong updated it. Then, the [Nothingness Wheel] inside Wang Wei's Sea of Consciousness started to rotate. It absorbed the power of nothingness from the array like it was a whale that was dehydrated.
The wheel grew in size with each passing moment. Wang Wei observed the process, ensuring that he did not miss something or that something went wrong. Once he was sure everything was alright, he nodded.
'The first step is done, so let's move on to the second step.' Wang Wei's bloodline activated, and his body started to absorb the [Power of Nothingness]. He once divided nothingness into four stages: intangibility, void, emptiness, and true nothingness.
He was previously in the peak of the Void Stage, and now, he was striding toward the [Emptiness Stage]. Wang Wei sensed the changes to his body and calculated: 'According to this development, the peak of Emptiness corresponds to the peak of the Inextinguishable, and I can only achieve True Nothingness in the Half-Step Transcendent Realm? Achieving True Nothingness will likely allow me to take a step in the Transcendent Realm.'
If Wang Wei's theory is true, Nothingness is taboo not only because of its danger but also because it's also one of the few Daos with a straight and direct path toward Transcendence.
'The second stage will raise my affinity with this power to another level,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'Once that's achieved, we can begin the third step.' Time passed, and Wang Wei continued to increase the characteristic of his flesh body. He waited until he felt full, and his intuition warned him that any more absorption would doom him before stopping. Then, he initiated the third step: [Existence Modification].
Just like he told Mongke, Wang Wei used the [Power of Nothingness] to modify his [Existence] and increase his 'vessel,' thus allowing him to break the limit between Empyreans and Paragons.
Wang Wei observed every aspect of this change. He sighed. 'If only I could enter that state during the Perfect Foundation.' He's been drooling about that state ever since. He could see the foundational blueprint of his existence and modify it as he saw fit. Right now, Wang Wei could tell this blueprint was being changed, but the process was more of a passive change.
Wang Wei has to rely on his intuition and feeling to guide the [Power of Nothingness] into his [Existence]. The process would be fast, efficient, and safer if he could have direct control over the blueprint. Wang Wei removed the distracting thoughts and focused on his body's change. The process took much longer than expected since he was dealing with such a volatile power. Wang Wei had to take his time to ensure he was now swallowed and erased from existence. Of course, since this was not his first time, he was more confident this time around.
Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled. He stood up from the seat before clenching his fist and sensed the changes inside his body. "I feel a heavy burden lifted over my shoulder." There is no better feeling than breaking over limits placed on you by Heaven and Earth.
"I've also taken one step closer to the Paragon Realm," Wang Wei muttered. This experience has allowed him to understand a higher level of [Existence] — the [Infinite Permanence], which is required of Everlasting Empyreans to understand to become Boundless Paragons. Although Wang Wei did not understand enough to enter the next realm, he had a sufficient foundation that it would be easier for him to become a Boundless.
'Let's try its power,' Wang Wei thought with a smile. He suppressed his cultivation to 70% Grand Dao Source before using his Dao Imprint as a medium for his Grand Dao Boosts. He added everything: his soul, flesh, True Will, Artifact, Force Control Skills, Dao Body Awakening, 11 Fate Palaces, Grandmist Wheel, and a few other Source Techniques.
His aura rose dramatically when he achieved a 10-fold Battle Realm — meaning his strength was on par with peak Empyreans (89%). However, his aura did not stop this time; it continued to increase until its power reached that threshold — 90%.
"The power of a Paragon," Wang Wei muttered. Although this was not the first time he wielded such power, now, it belonged to him; he did not rely on foreign objects — he achieved it alone, meaning no one could take it away from him.
'Luckily, I had already made up for my understanding and utilization of the Dao Imprint.' Wang Wei realized that if his utilization of the imprint did not reach a higher level, it would have been impossible for him to achieve the Taboo Battle Realm. After this experience, he once again reaffirmed his theory that the Battle Theory Realm was a mode that Grand Dao installed in this world to allow geniuses to challenge higher realms after Tier 10. Otherwise, due to the vast difference between the 3 Immortal Realms, the hierarchy of power would have been stagnant and unchallenged for eternity.
"Let's test my limit," Wang Wei said. He started to stack Grand Dao Boosts a second time, but the starting point was different this time. He did not seal his cultivation but used his peak Indestructible Empyrean Cultivation as primary and his 80% Grand Dao Source Qi cultivation as one of the boosts. After he added his soul and the others, his strength reached another level.
"94%, and in an emergency, I can fight 95% for a limited period," Wang Wei analyzed with a frown. "This kind of strength is enough for most of the parasites but not enough for Time Eater."
Wang Wei exhaled to calm down. He had plenty of room for further improvement, and he still has the opportunity to become a Paragon soon. So, there was no need to stress himself out. His gaze penetrated this cultivation room and glanced outside.
'82,000 Yuan Epoch has passed in the formation, meaning over 8000 Yuan Epochs outside.' Most of the time was spent during the transformation since he had to be extra careful.
'I have a feeling that the major change will occur at the 10,000 Yuan Epoch mark, meaning I still have about 20,000 epochs of cultivation,' Wang Wei calculated. 'Normally, this time was not nearly enough to make a difference with my current 80% comprehension. However, I have this.'
He raised his hand to summon a gray orb that fluctuate with the power of fate; this was the thing he took from Old Man Tianji. 'With all the Dao Rhymes Wang Qi sent me, I should make decent progress.'
Wang Wei returned to the cushion and summoned a few things to aid his cultivation, including the Bodhi Tree, the Peach Enlightenment Tree that the Sword Emperor gave him, and he absorbed all the Dao Rhymes. However, this was not the end. A small orb that seemed to contain the Origin Seal Continent inside floated before him. This orb was, of course, given to him by his future wife, and it allowed him to study all the runes or essences of the Origin Seal Continent.
After all this preparation, Wang Wei finally absorbed the Fate Power and started his cultivation. Another 20,000 Yuan Epochs passed, and he finally opened his eyes.
"What a terrifying power," Wang Wei sighed. His cultivation reached 86% in such a short period, and he can say for sure that the fate power was responsible for 95% of it. If not for it, the other boosts will not come close to allowing him to make such progress in such a short period. The worst part is that Fate's Power was heavily diluted when he took it from Old Man Tianji.
"Half-Step Transcendence," he muttered, not hiding the longing in his voice. He sighed before regrouping his focus. As he looked at his cultivation, he smiled wryly. "I was so close." As long as his cultivation reached 87%, he could take a pill to instantly reach 89% without repercussions, thus entering the peak of the Empyrean Realm.
"It's also bad timing," Wang Wei sighed. Wang Wei could feel two major events were about to happen. He knew nothing about the latter but was looking forward to the second, and that's because he sensed — through his bloodline — his father and mother were ascending soon.
"The world is about to enter a time of chaos, so it's really the worst time for you guys to ascend. So, what should I do with them? Allow them to help me with my cause of sending them to the sect to ensure their safety?"
He knew his parents would prefer the former, but their strength did not allow it. So, it would be best to send them to the sect. The issue is how to convince them.
'I'll just be blunt and tell them their current strength is a hindrance to me instead of helping. Although harsh, it's also a good way to motivate them to cultivate.'
Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction with this plan before his face suddenly turned ugly. He immediately teleported away from the seclusion room.
