Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1279  Intense Battle

Five Feathers had a look of fear. She almost died with that one stick. She had spent so much effort creating that Earth Defense Technique, spending countless yuan epochs fusing and communicating with the Eternal Ascension World; she has absorbed so many rare Earth resources to increase the technique's potency. Yet, this one attack broke it.

Although she understood this was not her main body, the technique could not be as powerful as before. Still, she felt afraid, thinking how easily he had broken through it.

'I must kill this bastard,' Five Feathers thought. They knew the destined one would be an extremely talented individual, but she and the others always believed they had plenty of time. After all, no matter how talented an individual is, they need time to grow and develop. However, after this brief confrontation, she realized they did not have as much time as possible.

'With a Paragon Soul, it won't take him long to enter our realm,' Five Feathers figured. 'Even worse, he might even achieve Battle Taboo Realm and become a threat before making a cultivation breakthrough. We do not have enough time. I must kill him.'

Boom!

Five Feathers released a terrifying aura, suppressing all laws, matter, and causality in her surroundings.

"Dao, come to life," she uttered. Her Grand Dao Source manifested behind her, releasing an oppressing aura. Then, five clones appeared around Five Feathers, each dressed in a color representing the Five Elements. Wang Wei looked at her with squinted eyes.

'Is this the power of a Paragon?' he thought. He could feel it. After Five Feathers acted, she became the center of Five Elements Dao throughout the Eternal Ascension World. In other words, no one can use the Five Element Law/Dao before her.

Wang Wei tried to summon his small understanding of the Five Element Dao, and as expected, it didn't even work. 'If that were her real body, the suppression would have been more severe. And if she held the position for Five Elements, she could probably strip everyone else of their use of this Dao.'

After figuring these things out, Wang Wei resolved himself to get his hands on the Fate Position. Although he was confident that the holder would not be able to strip him of complete control, the latter should have the power to reduce his Dao's effect/strength.

After Five Feathers summoned her element clones, they surrounded her like planets orbiting a star. The clones raised their hands to release lights associated with the elements that floated around the phoenix. Then, she finally cast her spell:

[Elemental Apocalypse World]

Wang Wei was on guard, and as soon as these clones appeared, he attacked to try to disrupt whatever they were doing. However, the Earth Clone released an invisible energy shield that quickly blocked his attack. As Wang Wei prepared for a second attack, the spell was already finished, and his instinct warned him of great danger.

Wang Wei's eyes peeped into the future and saw the source of the danger, and immediately took action to evade it. However, it seems Five Feathers sensed his action of looking through time and released the spell earlier than it should have been.

Everything around Wang Wei changed as he found himself in a dark environment.

'A Domain-like Technique?' he swiftly analyzed. 'No, not just that. It's also a sealing technique.'

A bright, dark-red light suddenly manifested in this dark world, making things visible. However, Wang Wei wished he was still in the dark. He realized he was floating above this terrifying magma, which immediately erupted into a column of flame. He reacted quickly enough to evade.

'That was close,' Wang Wei thought. The magma was enough to melt the puppet and even his soul instantly. 'No, why didn't I sense such dangerous magma was so close to me?' He quickly caught on the crux of the issue.

'The darkness around —- it's not a simple lack of light,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'She used the idea that fire is the source of light to control Darkness Dao. And this lack of light doesn't just affect regular senses.'

How terrifying were Wang Wei's senses? With all his over-the-top and extravagant Daos, he had so many ways to detect things. But this darkness still worked on him. Wang Wei evaded a few more columns of magma, and the thing seemed to have been tired of him evading, so it condensed a colossal arm to catch or slap him into oblivion. Wang Wei calmly waved his staff in a circular motion around him to create a Yin-Yang Fish Diagram. Then, under his control, he separated the Magma into its two fundamental elements: Earth and Fire.

He sealed these different elements, thus successfully neutralizing this magma. Wang Wei had figured out his next step, but before he could react, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell from the air.

'What's this? Am I poisoned? Damn it, it's the ash.' One of the deadliest things about any volcano eruption is the ash, and this one was so potent that it worked on the puppet's body and his soul. He immediately surrounded himself in a bubble of infinite space-time layers. As such, anything that tried to get to him must destroy countless universes or space-time continuum. Unfortunately, that's precisely what Five Feathers did.

A sandstorm manifested out of nowhere, eradicating all the layers around Wang Wei at an alarming speed. He immediately noticed that this sandstorm was created by combining Earth Dao and the sharpness of Metal Dao.

Wang Wei's first instinct was to use the same strategy: divide them into their basic elemental counterparts and seal them separately. However, Five Feathers was not stupid, so the same method would not work twice. When he mobilized his Yin-Yang Dao, Wang Wei realized it did not work.

He immediately understood the reason. Five Feathers must have used the changes between Water and Fire Element to control Yin-Yang Dao, and when a Paragon is using a Dao, how dare he — a small Empyrean — try to use it as well? Of course, such a method has limitations. For example, even if Five Feathers tried to restrict Wang Wei's Fate Dao or many of the others, it wouldn't work since they are not her expertise.

'Since Yin-Yang Dao won't work, let's try something else,' Wang Wei thought. He smashed the sandstorm with his staff, and as soon as they came into contact, he changed the fate/destiny of this sandstorm so that they had never correctly fused.

With his high battle experience, Wang Wei made the correct choice. However, Five Feathers anticipated his high battle IQ compared to hers and focused on one thing she had over him: she could react faster than him. No matter how powerful Wang Wei was, it did not change the fact he was using "foreign" means of achieving Paragon Tier strength. Five Feathers was a full-fledged Paragon, while Wang Wei's was incomplete. He could use his experience and mind to think countless steps ahead of her, but he could not react as fast as her. His deductions are what made him close to her reaction time. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

All of this is to say that as soon as he dealt with the sandstorm, this apocalypse world changed. A swamp was starting to fill this sealed world at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, it started raining, but not water, but these terrifying metallic liquids heavier than a multiverse.

Wang Wei calmly dodged the liquid metals, but each drop that fell on the swamp drastically accelerated the speed at which it rose.

'Time is running out, and my intuition is telling me my previous methods of dealing with these attacks won't work,' Wang Wei thought, his mind working on overdrive.

'Swamp: a combination of Earth, Water, and Wood Elements. Liquid Metal: A combination of Water and Metal Dao. No, given the terrifying weight, it probably also contains Earth Dao. I see.'

Wang Wei knew what to do. He summoned his Order-Disorder Dao.

[Order: All Five Elements Dao's aspects, characteristics, and functions will be rendered useless.]

Usually, Wang Wei would only need such a [Order] to deal with people who cultivated the Five Element Dao. However, he was dealing with a being higher on the hierarchy scale than himself. So, such a blatant rewrite of the rules will not work unless he's willing to severely restrict it or pay a price.

[Disorder: Willpower Backlash.]

Boom! A terrifying power that embodies order, chaos, and all the fundamental rules of Heaven and Earth descended into this world and rapidly dissipated it. Five Feathers appeared in the Eternal Ascension World with an incredulous look.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei's face was pale. He felt a massive headache so painful that he grunted. If not for his Willpower, he would have instantly passed out. The pain was brief, but that made it even worse as it seemed to condense much suffering in a short period.

Wang Wei wiped the blood from his nose, 'I guess I should be happy since my willpower was tempered by a decent amount.'
