Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1333  Heaven's Lock

Wang Wei sat in the empty room alone and left his thoughts. He wished nothing more than to see her to be here. Even if she did not say her word, her presence alone would have improved the situation. He sighed as he focused.

There are two possible explanations for his parent's disciples, but he did not like any of them. The first is that his enemy took it, and the other is his future self. But regardless of the truth, he hated the sense of powerlessness he felt at the situation.

He looked at his palm and clenched it. "Paragon-level strength is not enough. In novels about the Prehistoric Era, there was a famous saying on Earth, which says that everyone is an ant in the eyes of the [Saints]. This statement can now be applied to these transcending beings.'

Wang Wei looked in the distance, feeling a sense of urgency. It won't be long before he becomes a Paragon, but that is not enough for him, especially since it usually takes at least 1 million yuan epochs to increase their cultivation by 1% — and that number only applies to geniuses with the best resources. Furthermore, the higher the cultivation, the more time is required. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'I cannot, nor do I want to wait that long,' Wang Wei thought. He had already broken all cultivation records by now, even becoming an outlier, but he was still unhappy. 'Destroying these parasites will grant me immense luck, destiny, and merit, allowing me to cultivate in the Paragon Realm at record time, but it's still insufficient. I need to speed things further up.'

If it were before, Wang Wei's thoughts would have been nonsense. The Eternal Ascension World's cultivation civilization has reached its peak in resource utilization, meaning the best Wang Wei could have done was keep the cultivation speed of the top geniuses during the Golden Era, and that was only possible in the first place because he was living in a time of chaos where destiny and luck are abundant — similar to the time of the Devil Catastrophe.

'Old Man Tianji's technique,' Wang Wei thought. That's his method of ensuring an absurd cultivation speed. Through participating in or creating major events that fundamentally affect the entire world, he condenses these [Pure Fate Power] that can boost his cultivation dramatically.

'During the retreat, Hong'er and I created a prototype of that technique, but it never reached the desired level, so I left a clone to use Mongke's Battle Tower to complete it. Let's check on it.'

Wang Wei closed his eyes to sense the clone's situation. 'It's quite the improvement.' Wang Wei nodded. Compared to their versions, this one had improved significantly. The clone was now even studying the effects of Dao Rhymes to make further progress.

Wang Wei sighed deeply. The current technique was only 50% as effective as the power he took from Old Man Tianji, but that power was billions of times less potent than the one the Transcendent Old Man Tianji created to cultivate his people.

Wang Wei shook his head to focus. He always knew he had a long way ahead of him, so he wouldn't let anything discourage him. 'Let's contact the team to deal with the upcoming changes in the world.'

Boom!

Wang Wei's thoughts had just finished when something changed. He looked outside the continent and saw a grand vision that covered the entire world. There were purple clouds, Purple Qi coming from the East, golden lotus, Dao Sounds, celestial and fortune beasts, and Sages celebrating.

'This is…' Wang Wei thought as he swiftly saw the source of these visions. "Someone has become a Paragon. No, not just that, but a Boundless Paragon. Moreover, they seemed to be hiding in the Lawless Zone."

Wang Wei saw a man with his body flowing with brilliant immortal light released from his body. An unknown power isolated him from the effects of the Lawless Zone; the power also protected him to ensure he finished his final transformation.

'Why does he feel familiar?' Wang Wei thought. He did not recognize the man's face or aura, but his intuition told him he knew this person. Wang Wei wanted to divine the person's identity quickly but stopped himself from doing something so stupid. This person was under Heavenly Dao's protection, and his actions could be considered an insult, resulting in severe backlash. So, he slowly observed while deducing. 'Could it be him?'

Wang Wei waited for a few minutes until the process ended. Then, the man opened his eyes and declared: "Today, Empyrean Jimin will be known as Paragon Jimin. The world should celebrate." His voice echoed throughout every corner of the Eternal Ascension world.

All life, no matter how weak, could hear these words. For mortals, this was simply the birth of another powerful cultivator, but for cultivators, this was something else. This day represented hope. This era existed for 256 million yuan epochs, and today, a new Paragon finally appeared again in the world.

'So, it's him,' Wang Wei thought. This was not good news for him since he had basically taken over the rebellion. Although he was on guard and kept his hands off Empyrean Jimin's men, it did not change the fact he took over the latter's foundation. Wang Wei waved his hand to send a message to his people to abandon the rebellion and go underground.

He looked at Empyrean, no, Paragon Jimin, in the distance. 'Such a vast destiny,' he commented. As the first Paragon of this era, he brought hope to this world so Heavenly Dao would reward him immensely. With this destiny, Paragon Jimin will have no problem cultivating to the peak of the Paragon Realm, even if his talent is not up to par.

'A new Paragon in the world,' Wang Wei thought with squinted eyes. 'Will things really be that simple?' His thoughts were indeed a jinx. Before the visions in the sky even ended, another one occurred. Five bright moons manifested above Heaven and Earth, followed by five terrifying aura.

Five people stood in the Heavens, looking above all sentient beings. One was a handsome young man with a black robe and green hair. He had a weird aura around him that constantly changed from young to old.

'Time Eater,' Wang Wei thought.

Time Eater looked coldly in Jimin's direction but did not immediately attack. Instead, he looked at the sky and said: "Activate." A white cover that resembled an eggshell appeared above the sky, covering the entire world. Most cultivators were confused about this, but a few could tell this was a terrifying formation.

'The Hong Protective System,' Wang Wei said with squinted eyes. He knew this thing because his future wife built it. However, according to her, these people should not have full access to its control, but now…

'So, you're finally making your move,' Wang Wei thought, feeling uneasy. Sadly, his intuition was correct. A pair of indifferent eyes manifested between Heaven and Earth; the aura was so powerful that even someone like him instinctively felt fear and respect.

'Supreme Unity,' he thought with gritty teeth.

The pair of eyes coldly looked at the world. It seemed to have seen through all its secrets and hidden truths with a glance. Then, it said one word: "Lock." Massive and incomprehensive chains manifested above the Heavens to surround the globe.

"Amitabha," said another voice, followed by a humongous golden palm heading for the chains. However, the pair of eyes remained indifferent. The five moons suddenly acted as they summoned their territories' Luck Condensing Artifact and condensed the luck of the Eternal Ascension World.

A mighty purple-white dragon manifested between Heaven and Earth before rushing into the sky. The dragon flew toward that golden palm and opened its mouth to fire the characters for [Exile]. The golden palm resisted but only briefly before dissipating. Then, the chains completed their missions of imprisoning the world.

'So, that's how it is,' Wang Wei thought with gritted teeth. 'He needed to wait until Heavenly Dao was at its weakness or occupied for him to take action, and the best opportunity was for the celebration of a new Paragon.'

With the birth of the new Paragon, according to Heavenly Dao's codings, it would celebrate and also reward the Paragons with blessings since the latter represented hope for the world. But this is also the best time for Supreme Unity to take action.

'More importantly, these people have entirely sided with Supreme Unity.' The situation has genuinely changed beyond his expectations, but he remained calm. Wang Wei watched these moons enter the Lawless Zone; to be precise, four entered, and one stood at the entrance.

'They know that I've taken all the talents from the Lawless Zone,' Wang Wei's eyes squinted. These people do not want a Boundless Paragon existing next to them, so they plan to besiege him. Now that most of the powerful talents from the Lawless Zone are gone, Paragon Jimin must rely on himself to survive this ordeal.

'I can't let them succeed, but for now, I'm more worried about the effect of that Heaven's Lock.'
