Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 839  Yan Liling's Battle (I)

Crack!

Terrible sounds of breaking or twisting metals emanated from Li Jun's body after ending the transformation. His face became pale, and his crimson hair appeared duller with less vitality.

Li Jun did not waste time popping a few pills into his mouth, alleviating his symptoms.

"The repercussions were harsher than I thought," he muttered. If not for entering the Primordial Dragon Realm, his body would have collapsed after using such tremendous power beyond his limit.

'If I had the Asura Clan's bloodline in my possession, I could elevate this technique to a higher level and reduce the side effects,' he sighed with regret.

After stabilizing his situation, he glanced at the other battlefields, checking out the situation of the others.

'I was worried about Tie Gang. However, his ruthless approach seemed to have worked.'

He checked everybody else, including his wife.

'This little girl,' he smiled wryly before checking on the most important person.

'Wang Ju is almost ready. I must prepare to proceed with the next step.'

Li Jun sat cross-legged in the void, entering a deep state of meditation to accelerate his healing.

Western Quadrant:

Di Tian watched Di Jiaying's act of cowardness and betrayal. His expression did not change but hidden deep in his eyes was anger and the sense he had expected this.

He glanced at the other battles.

'None of this would have happened if my Sleepers were intact.'

His Sleepers contained countless talented individuals with unique souls after countless baptisms through Samsara. With his training, they would be the perfect generals, willing to sacrifice anything for him.

Di Tian controlled his emotions as he returned to a calm state:

'My original plan was to use these people to set up a formation that gave me a boost in the fight with Wang Wei,' contemplated Di Tian, who knew things would not proceed as he wished with Di Jiaying's departure.

'There is a chance Wang Wei's plan is similar. So, should I kill them before our battle?'

However, as soon as these ideas entered his mind, he removed them as he sensed a gaze locking him, ready to react to the slightest movement.

'Forget it. I need to prepare in case of an overwhelming defeat.'

Eastern Quadrant:

Wang Wei watched the result of Li Jun's battle, and a smile appeared on his handsome and charming face. Many people of his generation paid little to no attention to the importance of a great general–even to the end.

And many people started paying attention to such an advantage after Li Jun began to display his talent. However, he started cultivating his team before he started cultivating.

He knew the role a potent general could play in such a battle and prepared very early. One of the reasons he destroyed Di Tian's Sleepers was to prevent the latter from cultivating generals on the level of Li Jun and the others.

'One of the best decisions I made was to eliminate the threat of the Sleepers,' thought Wang Wei. His act allowed him to acquire the most powerful information-gathering force in the Myriad Emperor World.

Simultaneously, he also removed Di Tian's right arm and left leg. Di Jiaying's betrayal is the result of Di Tian rushing to create generals without a solid foundation of trust and loyalty.

'For someone like me, such a group of loose sands is nothing but a major flaw,' thought Wang Wei as he observed the battle–focusing on the weak link, Tie Gang.

Although a little worried, he believed in his men's capability.

'Soon, the culmination of all my years of hard work will come to fruition. And once the plan succeeds, my chances of winning will increase between one to ten percent.'

Earth Dimension:

Cai Song was looking at the Terracotta Warrior before her with fascination. The thing resembled a statue, with only the destruction in the surroundings as an indication of its destructive capabilities.

Sadly, it was matched with the worst opponent possible. Cai Song's talent for puppetry was unparalleled. And after acquiring Chen Chen's soul, she gained new knowledge, talent, and world view about puppetry.

So, in a very short period, she found a way to shut down this weapon of destruction.

'This puppet has almost broken the boundary between inanimate objects and sentient beings; it can almost be considered a new life form,' thought Cai Song with shining eyes.

'The material is something I've never seen or heard about before. Is it from another World Community? But how is that possible? The Human Emperor was from this world.

'Well, the historical records said his origin was a mystery as he suddenly appeared during the human catastrophe.'

Cai Song frowned, 'Even the refining method is different. Although it incorporated the Myriad Emperor World's refining system, most of it is of another origin.

'I can probably learn a lot from it.'

Alas, Cai Song had another trouble–he could not put away the puppet inside her space ring. Even worse, the puppet was constantly resisting her restraint.

'No matter what, you're mine now.'

Cai Song did not waste time and began placing formations around the puppet, her eyes shining brightly. She sensed a gaze of warning passed her, but she did not care. Nothing can stop her from acquiring such a masterful work of puppetry.

There is a saying that people can die after seeing the Dao. And that was her current mindset.

A few minutes ago, Northern Quadrant:

Yan Liling looked at her opponent, Gao Buqin, thinking about the information he had on the latter–which is very little. Gao Buqin was one of the Heaven Chosen tricked by the Spirit Genesis Sect to invade the cleanup. Sadly, he had a terrible fate and encountered a monster like Di Tian.

"What a poor soul," commented Yan Liling, her voice full of sympathy and empathy for Gao Buqin's situation. However, only she knew whether these words were sincere or not.

Regardless, Gao Buqin calmly looked at her without any expression or response; it was like the person she was talking about was a complete stranger he had no relationship or connection with.

A pale yellow sword manifested before him. Then, the swords began to divide into two, achieving a division every millisecond. In a short time, he had billions of swords.

Gao Buqin looked coldly at her, waiting to annihilate his opponent.

Splash!

He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, shocking him beyond words can describe. Gao Buqin did not know how and when his enemy attacked him; he did not even know what was wrong with his body.

However, Yan Liling was not going to give him time to figure it out. She activated her Chaos Flame, turning the Northern Quadrant into a seal of purple flame.

Gao Buqin's swords were instantly incinerated, leaving wide open for the destructive power of the flame.

[Black Tortoise Shield]

A shield with the design of the black tortoise manifested before him, blocking the attack. However, Gao Buqin did not care about that as he continued to bleed. After a few seconds, he started bleeding from all his orifices, including the pores on his face.

Gao Buqin panicked, but the Soul Enslavement Mark, deep in his soul, acted and forced him to enter a state of mind as calm as an unprovoked lake.

His mind worked faster than ever before, coming to a reasonable explanation given his knowledge and the current situation:

'Poison,' he concluded. 'An odorless and invisible potent poison. She is a talented Alchemist, making her also a Poison Master; she must have released it as soon as she appeared.'

[Bracelet of Detoxification]

[Ring of Poison Immunity]

A bracelet and a ring appeared on Gao Buqin's body, ridding him of the poison's effect.

Boom!

His shield exploded under the Chaos Flame, putting this talented weapon refiner in danger.

[Teleportation Jade]

A beautiful jade pendant appeared on his side. And in an instant, he teleported away from the center of the blast.

'Weapon Dao?' analyzed Yan Liling. 'His technique seemed to manifest all types of weapons with different abilities. I thought he was using Law Resonance, but I didn't notice any change to the laws of Heaven and Earth.

'If that's true, how could he use such a variety of abilities and Dao? Does he have a limit?'

Under Yan Liling's control, a colossal creature with nine heads appeared before her. Each had a vivid color like green, purple, or bright red. Then, they opened their mouths to fire a terrible breath, each containing a strange and deadly poison.

The attack was both a focus and wide-spread type, covering the entire surrounding space into poison. Adding the potency of each poison, Gao Buqin was in great trouble.

However, to Yan Liling's surprise, the latter summoned a pagoda that swiftly swallowed all her poison.

'Something is wrong,' thought Yan Liling. 'His technique seems to create any weapon he pleases with any ability or Dao.'

Gao Buqin's fighting method reminded her of Chu Luo's flawed Creation Dao.

'I don't detect any Creation Dao. So, what is the essence of this technique?'
