Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1335  Quick Response

"From a purely logical standpoint, this event has a positive side," Yan Hai continued. "As long as we can deal with him and rebuild civilization, our sect will receive great luck and destiny. However, even I feel uncomfortable thinking about how many people will die."

This world is vast, meaning there are simply too many cultivators. Even if the number of cultivators was less than 1% of the world's population, the number of people is still astronomical. Yan Hai is a veteran. . She has participated in and survived two Origin Wars, so she's seen countless people die—better yet, she has watched numerous worlds crumble.

However, it's different when it's the people from her homeland. It's even more heartbreaking knowing that one of their own is responsible for such devastation. Wang Wei looked at her and finally responded:

"You assume there will be mortals left."

An intense killing intent flashed in her eyes. "That's right. That bastard is in charge of Heaven and Earth, so it will be easy for him to eradicate all the mortals in the world — especially since it's another method of weakening Heavenly Dao."

"He won't use such a crude and direct method," Wang Wei said.

"Oh?"

"He only needs to allow these cultivators to increase their lifespan or be capable of cultivating by absorbing the flesh and soul of regular mortals. Then, they will turn on these people. Such an act of its people committing mass genocide can be considered going against the natural laws of Heaven and Earth, which also means—"

"It's a better way to weaken Heavenly Dao." The killing intent in Yan Hai's eyes was almost tangible. "This is why I despise you people with deep scheming minds." Wang Wei looked at her strangely.

"You and Brother Qiyuan are on my side, so you're different."

Wang Wei rolled his eyes. He was not in the mood to debate her weird thinking logic. "Alright, it's time for me to make my move."

"I know you wouldn't let him have his way so easily," Yan Hai smirked. "Do you need my help?" Wang Wei hesitated. "What is it?" she pressed.

"I really didn't want to drag the sect into this mess."

Yan Hai looked at him up and down before smiling in satisfaction. "Do you think the sect can stay out of this if you don't interact with it?" She shook her head.

"Although we are considered the second most powerful amongst the Overlords, everyone knows that is only on the surface. Our sect has the most profound foundation, our luck and destiny are the most condensed, and more importantly, we have something the bastard has been lusting for for many years."

'The Trinity Venerable Inheritance,' Wang Wei thought.

"So, whether you exist or not, that bastard will target us someday."

"I understand," Wang Wei nodded. "Send a message to the sect. If there are signs that cultivators' longevity can be improved by killing mortals, they need to create an alliance with other sealed lineages to make rules that this practice is forbidden. They must create a task force to kill anyone who disobeys."

"No problem," Yan Hai nodded.

"One more thing, well, two more things. First, try to see if you can still contact the people in limbo or even if you can revive them," Wang Wei added. "Secondly, see if you can leave this place through the Source Qi Space. Be careful, and don't try it yourself."

Yan Hai rolled her eyes. Although she wasn't as bright as these bastards, it did not mean she was stupid. Even a big will become a genius full of wisdom after living as long as her. "Get lost, brat."

Wang Wei disappeared from the room, teleporting to a desolate area. He closed his eyes briefly before waving his hand to summon countless rare Empyreans and a few Paragon Ores to build the fanciest altar possible. 'No response? Could it be that the usage of resources is not under strict limitations? Well, at least, resources that cannot directly raise cultivation.'

Wang Wei took note of this before finishing the altar. He looked in the direction of the Lawless Zone. 'He should be able to hold on a little longer, right? After all, he still has destiny protecting him.'

He took a few minutes to shower and change clothes before starting the ceremony. In a rare act, Wang Wei followed the proper procedure, including giving sacrifices and kneeling before the altar.

"Heaven and Earth above, the world faces a Calamity of Longevity. I have created a technique called [Health Preserving Technique], which allows cultivators to live to the limit of one yuan epoch. I'm willing to share it with the world, so please accept my sincere offer."

The clouds above his head started to condense as if a vision was about to manifest. However, they soon dispersed before condensing again; they repeated this pattern for a while. Wang Wei observed with worry.

'Come one, Heavenly Dao — this is your chance to fight back.' He watched the changes in the sky for five minutes before something happened. Wang Wei's face changed as he acted swiftly. He wore the most formidable armor from the Origin Seal Continent's armory.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Numerous terrifying lightning bolts descended from Heaven and Earth. All the cultivators who saw this were shocked since this was the first time that most of them saw Divine Punishment. In the upper dimension, the laws of Heaven and Earth are more ruthless, so it's rare to see anyone being punished by Heaven and Earth — especially in such a direct manner.

…

Lawless Zone's Entrance:

The Earth Emperor — a middle-aged man with short black hair, black and silver clothes, and an icy and domineering aura — looked in the distance. His divine sense has been keeping a watch on Origin Seal City for any signs or movements from Wang Wei, so he noticed the latter the moment he appeared in that deserted area.

'What is he doing?' he thought as he saw Wang Wei build that altar. 'Should I stop him?' He soon shook his head. There is a high chance that this was a plot to lure him from his spot, so the Earth Emperor decided to wait. So, even when Wang Wei finished the ceremony and suffered from Divine Punishment, he observed with cold eyes.

'I hope this bastard dies,' the Earth Emperor sneered. However, his expression changed as he received a direct message. He sighed before preparing to head over there and attack. As soon as he had this intention, someone blocked his way.

"A puppet?" He suddenly remembered that his people reported that Wang Wei had a Paragon Puppet. He sneered. "Do you think you can stop me with a puppet?" An armor and spear suddenly appeared on the puppet, both of the best quality. The Earth Emperor did not care until the puppet did something else.

A strange array appeared on its torso before disappearing. This time, the Earth Emperor had to be serious. That's because that array was a Self-Destruction Array.

'Damn it. If that thing explodes, I'll lose a life. At best, I'll be severely injured, given these people a chance to deal with me.' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The puppet sneered. Wang Wei knew how to utilize these people's mindsets against them. This puppet was not enough to defeat the Earth Emperor and wasn't even enough to delay for long. However, it would be different if the latter were fighting with the constant thought of a possible death-dealing explosion.

The puppet looked at the Earth Emperor before pouncing on it. Wang Wei ordered it to use a madman style of fighting that disregards any defensive techniques and only attacks; its purpose is to put as many injuries as possible on the enemy.

"Damn it," Earth Emperor cursed once he realized this; he felt aggrieved. However, now that he had returned home and did not have to fight on the frontier, he valued his life even more than before.

…

After noticing the puppet was doing its job, Wang Wei paid no attention to it and focused on the punishment. He did not care that he was being punished since he knew this was a desperate move from Supreme Unity to prevent him from getting merit. Wang Wei went all out to survive this punishment, pushing himself to the limit. His bet worked.

A few minutes later, the dark clouds dispersed, and a vision manifested between Heaven and Earth. Wang Wei's voice reached every corner of the Eternal Ascension World, followed by merit descending from the sky.

'This should help me recover,' Wang Wei said as he put the merit away. 'More importantly, I've broken the situation. No, that's too optimistic. I've given us a fighting chance.'

The fact that he received the merit means that Heavenly Dao's fundamental rules are still in operation; it also means that Heavenly Dao has a great chance at fighting Supreme Unity without allowing one side to have too much of an advantage.

'The next step is Jimin. This era's first Paragon cannot fall immediately after being crowned,' Wang Wei thought.
