Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"No. I sensed an opportunity that would accelerate the rate I condensed my black holes, so I went to get it," replied Wang Wei as he looked around. The clouds were red, and the soil was a death grey. He could sense a terrifying baleful aura in the surroundings that could easily corrode the body and soul.

The laws of Heaven and Earth were chaotic, making Void Shattering Realm and Saints almost useless in this place. The space was chaotic, thus preventing teleportation through normal means.

"What a terrible place," commented Wang Wei as he looked at a humongous red door not far, and all the Heaven Chosens gathered around.

"Really? I like it," commented Li Jun.

"Of course you do; this place is like a small haven for you," commented Yan Liling. These baleful auras are a booster for someone who cultivates Slaughter Dao.

"I wouldn\'t say it\'s a haven."

Wang Wei ignored the couple as he observed everyone present. All the Heaven Chosens in this generation were here, many of which he had never seen or interacted with, but he had a file about their information.

\'Xu Shi is not here. Is she late?\'

Wang Wei continued to look around before his gaze on Mo Xingyun, and he suddenly appeared before her, catching everyone\'s attention. After all, who does not know the man who is said to have the highest chance of proving the Dao in this generation?

  "A puppet?" said Wang Wei after observing for a while. 

"There is no–"

She did not finish her word as Wang Wei snapped his finger, and she exploded into thousand pieces.

"You can leave or suffer the same fate as the construct," said Wang Wei to the people of the Mo Clan.

"You can\'t do this?"

"Yes, I can since I did not break any hidden rules." He snapped his finger, and these people disappeared, teleporting them to some unknown place and also sealing them. Wang Wei knew his actions would not prevent the Mo Clan from getting their hands on a token since they could still enter after him or, better yet, take a token from some poor soul. After all, Heavenly Dao did not explicitly state that a token was linked to the person who acquired it. The entire token situation is not even clear yet to everyone.

Wang Wei ignored the stares around him and walked toward someone else.

"Little rat, I thought you would continue to hide."

"Sir Wang Wei, this is the first time we have met. Have I offended you in some way?" replied Yu Zhou with a confused look on his pure and innocent face. And he was not the only one. The people from the Soul race were also wondering what\'s the contradiction between these two.

"You know me better than anyone, so you should understand I will not let societal pressure like status, custom, or public image dictate my actions. So, what\'s your reliance?"

Some other Heaven Chosen might be worried about the image of the Dao Opening Sect and how suddenly killing someone for no "justifiable" reason might cause trouble. However, Wang Wei only cares about these things when necessary. However, since he placed Yu Zhou in his kill-on-sight list…

"I guess we\'ll see." 

Boom!

Before anyone could react, he punched Yu Zhou into oblivion; the latter could not resist even a tiny bit as his opponent left nothing of him. Meanwhile, Wang Wei waited, and as expected, a flame suddenly came into the position he was and Yu Zhou\'s body suddenly regenerated.

"The Undead Phoenix Scroll," he said. "So, you\'re really one of the traitors." Everyone looked at him, wondering what he meant by traitors. Traitor to whom? Most people were confused. And even the top Heaven Chosens only analyzed that he might be talking to traitors to other worlds that wanted to interfere in the Myriad Emperor World\'s Heaven Will Battle.

"Traitor? What are you talking about?" asked Yu Zhou with a frown.

"Yes. You can explain your ability to a fortunate encounter and receiving the Undead Phonexi\'s inheritance," commented Wang Wei before punching him again into oblivion. A few seconds later, the other revived.

"I\'ve obliterated every atom in your body along with your soul. Yet, you\'re completely okay."

"That\'s because I\'m immortal," replied Yu Zhou with confidence. "Although I don\'t know why you\'re bent on killing me, it does not matter in the end."

Wang Wei did not continue attacking but instead observed Yu Zhou for a moment. "I see. You\'re connected to a powerful entity. Nothing between Heaven and Earthy can kill you as long as that entity is alive."

Yu Zhou\'s heart skipped a beat. However, his facial expression remained the same. "That\'s the wonder of the Undead Phoenix Scroll."

"That\'s the wonder of the one from the upper dimension, not the one he left before ascension," commented Wang Wei, making Yu Zhou\'s eyes almost twitch. Interacting with this man was scary.

He released a natural aura of authority and power that can easily pressure the weak-minded. But the scariest part is how his eyes seem to penetrate all secrets. On top of everything, his mind is so sharp that he can infer the tiniest information.

"Once again, I don\'t know what you\'re talking about."

"If Undead Phoenix\'s dog is so hard to deal with, what about the others?" Wang Wei tilted his head slightly as he looked at Yu Zhou. "The word dog irks you? Isn\'t the price to achieve such immortality to become someone\'s doormat? Shouldn\'t you have adapted to being called a dog by now?"

"Young master Wang Wei, even a Buddha can be angered," said Yu Zhou with gritted teeth.

"Whatever. Let\'s see how you deal with being sealed."

Rune appeared around Yu Zhou, and he tried to resist. Unfortunately, he turned into a small orb that contained a small world where he was sealed. Wang Wei waited a moment before a flame came out from one of the Soul races before Yu Zhou materialized.

"Killing yourself and using talismans located in different locations to materialize again. Not a bad method to avoid sealing." Wang Wei looked at the sky for a moment. "You even used some means to hide the Karma threat connected to the other talismans. Your means can even hide from me: is that your Soul Race ability or someone else?"

Wang Wei looked at the people behind Yu Zhou. "From your reaction, it\'s from your race. So, you told them everything to ensure your identity remains legit."

"I would be stupid not to take preventive measures against the only weakness of my immortality."

"Hum," muttered Wang Wei as he looked directly into Yu Zhou\'s eyes. "I don\'t like the hidden cockiness in your eyes."

"It doesn\'t matter how you feel: there is nothing you can do about it," he replied with his shoulder straighter than before.

"You are only partially correct."

"Partially?"

Wang Wei slowly raised his hand toward Yu Zhou\'s head. The latter tried to move and respond. But once again, he was powerless. Wang Wei held him by his skull.

"You should understand there are scarier things than death."

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

Yu Zhou\'s scream echoed between Heaven and Earth. The pain was so much that he instantly felt his mind on the verge of breaking. He immediately tried to commit suicide to escape. Unfortunately, the power of law in Wang Wei\'s hands made that impossible.

"Only this small amount of pain almost broke you," Wang Wei said in disappointment. He has not created a way to transfer his pain in the Flesh Tribulation to his opponent. But with the slight evolution of his Pain Talent after the tribulation, Yu Zhou could not withstand it.

After the latter destroyed his vocal cord screaming for a few minutes, Wang Wei dropped him on the floor. "The Heavenly Will Battle does not allow interference–even by an existence on par with the Undead Phoenix Emperor. So, who will give you your immortality by then?"

Yu Zhou exploded himself in an attempt to use death to remove the pain. But even then, he still felt, leading to killing himself a dozen times in just a few seconds. He then looked at Wang Wei with fear.

"Yes, those are the eyes that traitors like you should have." He then looked at the Soul race members. "Your race should probably close your gate again before the final battle."

"W-Why would we do that?"

"This idiot just revealed that he has a method of being immortal. You can imagine how many people would do anything to get their hands on it, even if they must become someone\'s dog."

Their faces changed: some Emperor Lineage and even hidden old monsters would pay anything for such an opportunity.

Yu Zhou\'s face changed as he immediately realized Wang Wei\'s plan. With the information he revealed, he would raise the Soul Race\'s suspicions. Then, he revealed his Immortality, forcing them to close their gate and limiting his movement and resources. And if he abandons this identity, he will become more suspicious. Not to mention, he will have to hide from Immortal Powerhouses interested in his Immortality. No, Eternity.

Wang Wei turned around to look at someone who was observing him not far away: Di Tian. Their eyes met, creating sparks.
