Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 823 Danger Sense



Chapter 823  Danger Sense

Feng Heng swallowed countless pills from his space ring before using numerous healing methods to soothe his situation. Regardless, his expression remained paler than paper.

After regaining a little bit of strength, he focused on the captured Zhen Biyu. However, after observing her for a few minutes, he frowned.

'She's no longer connected to the Five Element Balance Palace's Qi Luck.'

In a very short time, he understood the situation. Zhen Biyu's behavior during this battle alerted the leaders of the palace. So, they did not hesitate to remove her status as the sect's heir and disconnect her connection with the palace's Qi Luck.

'Will all my effort be in vain?' thought Feng Heng with a deep frown. He knew he could not stay long on this battlefield and accepted this fact. However, he also wanted to benefit, even if only a little.

But now, it appeared his plan was a failure.

'Not necessarily,' thought Feng Heng as he thought of something. He waved his hand to summon a golden lamp. The lamp released the power of an Emperor Artifact before sealing the five feathers and the seal.

Without hesitation, he placed them away. Most people will not easily take another faction's Emperor Artifact since they are connected to their Qi Luck.

These luck-connected Artifacts are almost unusable. Furthermore, Emperor Lineages did not care if they lost foreign artifacts but would not hesitate to start an Emperor Dao War for their luck-connected artifacts.

However, Feng Heng did not care. His Buddhist Sect is well-hidden and inaccessible to the Five Element Palace. Secondly, he can use these artifacts to replace Zhen Biyu's function, accessing the Qi Luck of Taoism controlled by the palace.

Lastly, he will soon become an Eternal Emperor using the Heart of Hope. As such, he has no fear of the palace and even hopes they will start an Emperor Dao War.

War is one the fastest way for any factions to rise and establish themselves. And if necessary, he would use it to declare the return of Buddhism to the world.

With him at the helm, Buddhism can easily step on the Taiyi Profound Gate and the Five Element Balance Palace to establish its supremacy.

He knew this plan was certain except for two uncertainties. The first was the reaction of the Taoist Faction in the upper dimension and the intervention of whoever proved the Dao in this generation through this battle.

'Furthermore, the real identity of Zhen Biyu might be valuable. She knows so many secrets, and I could learn many things from her.'

His gaze focused on her, preparing to seal her away. However, Feng Heng hadn't reacted when a portal suddenly appeared and swallowed Zhen Biyu's body.

'Gone? Did any of them take action?' He denied this possibility as he did not sense any of their powers. Additionally, his eyes detected an anomaly somewhere deep in Zhen Biyu's Sea of Consciousness. Sadly, he thought she was incapable of revolting, so he lowered his guard and did not pay too close attention.

'Now that I think about it, there was a problem when she tried to remove all her fear and flaw.'

Now that the battle ended, he noticed many previous issues. Alas, he did not have time to ponder this issue. Feng Heng felt one of these two gazes becoming rather impatient.

So, he did not hesitate to forfeit this battle, making him finally breathe properly.

Somewhere else:

Zhen Biyu's old body appeared in a place full of forests.

"I'm finally in control," she muttered under her breath. She did not immediately move as she closed her eyes, accessing her Sea of Consciousness.

There was a second Primordial Spirit, but it was in a poor state, to say the least. Furthermore, there were multiple seals on it to prevent movement or access to power.

'It will take some time to heal my injuries and process the main body's memories.' Zhen Biyu's main objective is to return her Pure Heart Personality to its previous state.

'Let's heal the injuries first.'

However, she did not move as she sensed two powerful gazes; one of them was a warning, while the other contained hidden killing intent.

"I forfeit," hurriedly said Zhen Biyu, understanding what step she needed to take to ensure her survival. So, as soon as she uttered these words, the gazes dissipated, and she sighed in relief.

She did not immediately leave since she wanted to heal first. Furthermore, she also wanted to watch the clash between these two monsters.

Eastern Quadrant:

"It seems things are heading in a positive direction," said Wang Wei with a smile.

"It seems you don't need my help anymore," remarked Wu Ming.

"That's not necessarily true."

Wu Ming knew the latter was being polite. His role in this battle has become a hindrance. At this stage of this battle, Wang Wei will not trust him–even as an ally.

So, the best course of action is to leave to prevent any misunderstandings.

"Is our agreement still valid?" asked Wu Ming.

"Of course," replied Wang Wei. "After the battle, we can negotiate the details.'

"That's all I wanted to hear."

Wu Ming did not hesitate before leaving the battle, leaving Wang Wei alone with his thoughts.

'This kid knows how to read the room,' thought Wang Wei before observing the entire battlefield. At this stage of the battle, all the top Heaven Chosens were eliminated for one reason or another, leaving only a few people who survived by luck or hid on purpose.

So, although it might look like his generals might be useless, they can give him a slight advantage over Di Tian as long as everything Wang Wei had the urge to act and clean up these remaining individuals before going straight to Di Tian. However, he did not act on his impulse. He had a plan for this battle.

So, although it might look like his generals might be useless, they can give him a slight advantage over Di Tian as long as everything proceeds smoothly. Furthermore, he still needs them to clear the traitors for them.

"The traitors," muttered Wang Wei, looking at the Northern Quadrant. "Let's be patient."

He closed his eyes to adjust his state. However, he opened them back less than five seconds later, gazing intently at the north. Without hesitation, he teleported to the Northern Quadrant to the location of the traitors.

In front of him was a strange black mist that hid his visions and other senses.

Wang Wei turned his head to look at someone a thousand kilometers from him.

"Did you sense it?"

"Why do you think I'm here," replied Di Tian in his usual cold voice.

"What exactly do they have that can elicit a danger sense from us?" asked Wang Wei while looking at the mist. However, Di Tian did not say anything; his eyes focused on the mist.

"How about we work together to get rid of them?" suggested Di Tian. "Let's clean up the battlefield before our battle."

"Not interested."

"Why not?"

"Whatever trump cards they have, they must test it on one of us first. And I'm betting they will choose you first."

"That's not necessarily true."

"In their eyes, you are more of a threat than me. So, they will definitely attack you first.'

He investigated these people. And using the information he gathered from the Deception Trial, he deduced many things. According to his analysis, these people cared more about Wang Wei than him, hence why he made this decision.

"You might be right," said Wang Wei. "But don't forget you assassinated their leader and failed. If he holds any grudge, you might be the first to be attacked."

Di Tian quieted down since that was the truth. He did not fear whatever methods these people had. However, the fact his danger sense activated indicated that they might have a way to injure him.

And if he is not in his best state for his battle with Wang Wei, his chances of winning will drastically decrease.

"Be more decisive," said Wang Wei. "These people should have detected our presence."

With every second wasted, more variables will appear. As such, he wanted to know Di Tian's answer to decide how to deal with these people.

"Very well," replied Di Tian, who concluded working together was the best choice for the current situation.

"But what about the issue of trust?"

"We will make a Grand Dao Oath."

"I will choose the wording."

"Fine," replied Wang Wei, who did not want to bargain or argue with him; time was of the essence.

For a moment, Di Tian became suspicious of why he agreed so swiftly. He knew never to be careless when dealing with a Dao Overlord. However, he also knew it was not time to be indecisive.

So, he chose the word of his oath carefully and asked Wang Wei to go first. After taking a moment to ensure no issue, Wang Wei made the oath, followed by Di Tian.

Then, they focused on the black mist.

"Any idea?" asked Di Tian.

"Let's just use the most direct method–brute force."

"Fine."
