Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Di Tian stood near his camp, waiting for something. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked at the sky. He was probably the only individual on this continent who could see the invisible array and the River of Karma.

'Wang Wei's doing?' he thought with a sneer. He could already guess Heavenly Dao went to ask its favorite son for help, and the latter agreed. Although he once worked with that vile thing, Di Tian would not associate with it any more than he has to after everything it made him go through–especially for a few broken Chaos Treasures.

The only thing that would move him is his wife's imprint, but the latter refused to hand it over. 

'It does not matter; I will take it myself.'

Di Tian no longer looked at the formation. He would not purposely interfere in matters regarding Heavenly Dao to not gather any unnecessary complications.

After waiting for a while, a figure with a hood appeared behind him.

"How is it?"

"I have investigated everything."

"The result?"

"I have found a few candidates, but you must test their strength yourself."

"Very well. Lead the way," ordered Di Tian, who felt the current situation was advantageous since he could move as he pleased. His shadow bowed before teleporting to another territory, and Di Tian followed.

The two appeared before a group of young people passionately discussing something. However, the bright mark above Di Tian and his shadow's head immediately alerted everyone present, forcing them to become on guard.

"Who is it?" asked Di Tian; his voice was calm, and he showed no aura or pressure. However, some keen people's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

The shadow pointed at a young man with green hair standing before the group. Judging by his position, he was someone of status among these groups, or at the very least; they respected him deeply to listen to him talking.

"That's Liu Zongying from the Mortal Heart World," explained the shadow.

"A power system focusing on Dao Heart Tempering?" commented Di Tian. "He's weak, but let's see his potential." He clenched his fist and punched forward:

[Last Breath]

Without hesitation, he used the first fist of his Nine Samsara Fist Scripture, not wasting his time. His attack brought all matters to their last breath, even utilizing some power of destruction.

These Heaven Chosens reacted quickly, using all types of means to save their lives. When Di Tian raised his fist, the alarming bells of death rang in their mind, almost paralyzing many of them. Luckily, their world's cultivation system is about forging a supreme Dao Heart, so they all have an excellent state of mind.

Numerous people used secret techniques with great prices to increase their strength: some used arrays, extraordinary magical artifacts, and life-saving talismans. In less than a second, the group meeting turned into a light show with all these technique displays.

Unfortunately, it was useless. The devastating power of that punch killed the majority of these people. Following this, the power of death and destruction finished the job.

As for the aftermath? Almost everybody died.

Di Tian calmly watched as some people's soul was salvaged by some Immortal Tier strength and did chase after these people.

"This Liu Zongying is too weak." His attack only closed to Immortal Venerable 1-Leaf but did not reach it. Such strength can be achieved by some Heaven Chosens with potential.

The Shadow nodded before showing to another group. Although he felt this person had great potential with a top-notch Dao Heart and could be adequately cultivated, it was not his decision to make. The next chosen group was of five individuals, two of whom the shadow felt were of great potential.

Di Tian looked at these five people, waiting for his shadow to explain.

"The two in the middle are a rare twin Spirit Race born from a rock; great talent in body refining."

"Are they from the Central Spirit World?"

"Yes."

Di Tian guessed only a world dominated by the Spirit Race would give birth to such a rare anomaly as a twin spirit.

"Get in formation," said Yanshi, one of the two brothers. Immediately, the other three surrounded him and his brother. The two brothers turned into a giant rock monster of 10 meters with two heads, while the others transformed into motes of light that fuse into them.

"Are you from the Myriad Emperor World?"

"Yes, and?"

"My last two preys ran away from me. However, I won't make the same mistake again."

"Is that so?" commented Di Tian before using the same punch.

Boom!

Before the rock monster could comprehend what had occurred, more than half of his body collapsed under the attack. So, they lay on the floor with horror in their eyes.

"He's better than the previous one," commented Di Tian. "He's only Tier 9, and once he reaches the Quasi Emperor Realm, there is a chance of breaking the Mortal-Immortal Barrier.

"However, he seems stupid and has no sense of danger." He shook his head before motioning for the shadow to show him to his next destination. As he walked past these spirit races, death enveloped them, sending them into samsara.

The shadow teleported them to a mountain range. However, as soon as they arrived, a formation activated above them, trapping them.

Di Tian calmly looked above his head, seeing numerous weapons with quite a powerful aura. Then, he looked at the thousands of people who surrounded him, focusing on a particular young man on the back with a red robe.

"Is this your doing?"

The person did not answer, but Di Tian could feel the connection of this array to this person.

"Someone from the Myriad Armament World?" He could feel this person was a Weapon Refiner who cultivated Armament Dao. And since the Myriad Armament World is similar to the Myriad Pill World with countless talented weapon refiners, he guessed the person's origin.

"According to the information I gathered, he's from the Battle Spirit World."

"Is that so?"

Gao Boqin, the red robe youth, motioned for everybody to attack before controlling the array above to attack.

Di Tian calmly raised his hand to generate a force field that easily blocked these thousands of magical artifacts.

'He set up the array and combined it with his magical artifact to reach an attack level of 2-Leaf.' His eyes lit up. Meanwhile, Gao Boqin's face changed. He refined a treasure that would predict danger, and not long after coming to this place, the supposed trial of an Eternal Supreme Inheritance, the thing activated, warning of unimaginable danger.

So, he acted swiftly to gather other people with the promise of resources and compromise before setting this array. However, he did not expect the situation to be this terrible.

He now realized because of the overwhelming strength of the enemy, his treasure could not even correctly dictate the level of danger he would face.

Di Tian calmly looked at this group of people and used his Divine Sense to check on each of them. Although the shadow came here for the red robe youth, he wanted to ensure there was not a hidden genius amongst this group.

Regrettably, he did not find anything. He raised his hand and made a squeezing motion.

Bang!

Blood splatters all over the earth and the sky, leaving shattered bodies, broken bones, and mush viscera. With that single motion, Di Tian used his pure physical strength to grab the fabric of space and use it to squeeze these people to death.

Then, a slight smile crept on his face as he saw the red robe youth with a pale complexion surrounded by a bunch of magical defensive artifacts.

"It's you," he declared before instantly appearing in front of the youth. Under his momentum, the artifacts cracked before becoming useless. He then placed his hand on the forehead of Gao Boqin, while the latter was incapable of even moving a muscle.

Di Tian searched his soul to gather basic knowledge of the youth, ensuring he did not touch the Emperor Seals from his faction.

'Extraordinary talent for weapon refining,' he thought. 'Also a master in arrays.' He knew he had found an excellent choice for a general. As for the suspicious movements he detected from some forces in the Battle Spirit World, he could not care less. He placed their actions on the back of his mind and only to prepare in case they became an obstacle to him proving the Dao and reviving his wife.

Subsequently, he proceeded to enslave the latter by controlling Gao Boqin's soul.

As a person who understood Samsara Dao to the pinnacle of what a mortal is capable of what, Di Tian's was unparallel. Only a person with the same strength as him and cultivated Soul Dao could surpass him. The only exception might be that guy with the weird soul.

Gao Boqin tried to resist, but it was pointless. After a few minutes, Di Tian finished the preliminary enslavement, forcing him to pass out. Heaven Chosens from Emperor Lineages will have restrictions on their souls to prevent enslavement and mind control.

With his method, he bypassed these measures, but it was only temporary. He needed to return home and use the Di Clan's power to remove these restrictions.

"Who's next?" he asked.

"This was the last one I could investigate in such a short time," replied the shadow. "However, I have some news about the Devil Ultimate Kings. We can try them."

"That's a good idea. Let's go."

In the distance, a figure watched Di Tian's departure with a deep frown on their faces. Despite only being a few dozen meters, they were not detected.
