Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"Don\'t you despise Heaven?"

"Even then, this does not give you the right to destroy my dream for no reason."

"It is my child, so I have the right. Plus, I have valid reasons."

"They will be my nephews, so I also have the right. What good reason would you have?" Wang Wei said with a sneer.

"If you must know, I plan to spoil my children, too," said Li Jun, sneering as well. "If we both spoil them, aren\'t they going to be rotten?"

"You have a point," nodded Wang Wei with great seriousness. "We don\'t want them to turn into second-generation Young Master who terrorizes people\'s livelihood and steal other people\'s daughter and wives."

"Exactly. With these kids\' background, they would become a nightmare to the world if we spoiled them rotten," nodded Li Jun with fear in his eyes as he imagined how he would protect his children regardless of their faults. And if you add their overpowered and invincible uncles who did the same, these kids would bully the entire lower dimensions and become the ultimate menace between Heaven and Earth.

"I have a perfect solution that allows us to both spoil them," said Wang Wei with shining eyes.

"Oh, I\'m all ears."

"We let their mothers be the boring parents that disciples and control them. Meanwhile, we become the fun parents that spoil them."

"Great idea," replied Li Jun, unable to contain his excitement. "We can spoil them without worrying them turning into second-generations Young Master.

"Honey, isn\'t this a good idea?"

"In your dream," replied Yan Liling.

"What\'s wrong?"

"Do you want me to be the villain to our child while you get to be the favorite parent? In your dream."

"No, no. You have it all wrong," he explained. "Our child will thank you for being strict with them. So, although it will appear as if I\'m their favorite, it\'s only temporarily."

Yan Liling did not say anything but sneered at him. Li Jun gritted his teeth, "What about him?" he said, pointing at the smiling Wang Wei, who seemed to be enjoying the drama.

"Are you going to let him spoil our children and be a bad influence?"

"Don\'t pull me into this."

"As he said, it is his right as an uncle," said Yan Liling. "Plus, we can\'t stop him even if we want to."

\'Damnit,\' thought Li Jun, who did not want to be the only one who suffered. "You know his personality; he might go too far."

"If he does, this old lady will fight with him to death and ban him from seeing our children."

"What? This has to be against the law or some form of abuse," argued Wang Wei.

"When it comes to the child that I will probably spend a couple of hundred thousand years carrying–I am the law."

\'Danm it, she\'s right,\' thought Wang Wei with gritted teeth. Then, the three looked at each other with an intense aura, fighting for their rights on how to raise this nonexistent child properly.

"Hahahhahhahaha."

"Hahahahhahaha."

"Hahahahahhahahah."

They suddenly laughed aloud, ignoring their exalted status or power. The three sat in a circle as they served tea to each other.

"How was your retreat?" asked Wang Wei, and Li Jun briefly released his aura.

"Peak 6-Leaf Strength?" he asked with surprise. According to his calculation, Li Jun should have reached the peak 5-Leaf with the Slaughter Heart, with a small chance of early 6-Leaf.

But his current strength was one tiny step away from reaching the mortal limit of 7-Leaf.

"Yes, and with that weapon, I can skip grades to fight."

"What happened?" Wang Wei asked.

"A lot of things," he replied with a sigh.

225,000 years ago:

Li Jun took the War Talisman and the Slaughter Heart, prepared to enter seclusion. He teleported to a secret realm overseen by Supreme Elder Miscellaneous One. He walked to a place with numerous formations.

"Are you prepared?" asked Miscellaneous One.

"Yes."

"The first step is to line your Proving Dao with the Weapon Embryo. Later on, you have to conquer it with your own Willpower."

"As you wish." A weapon rack with 18 weapons manifested above an illusory spear at the center of the multiple arrays. Under his control, Li Jun create a subtle connection between the two.

"Done," he muttered. "Supreme Elder, how is the gathering of baleful aura?"

"The sect has sent people throughout the Myriad Emperor World and the Lower Realm to gather aura for you. Furthermore, the sect master also used his incarnations for the search."

Li Jun nodded as he knew his brother\'s incarnations were very effective in the search–especially the Karma, Space-Time, and Luck Incarnations. The Space-Time Incarnation can travel to different timelines–especially the ones where the world suffered killing disasters–to gather a baleful aura. Meanwhile, the Karma Incarnation can use karma throughout space-time to leave baleful aura-related resources for the future.

As for the Luck Incarnation? He only needed to travel around randomly, and he would find the thing he needed since baleful aura was not some high-level or rare resource.

\'Big brother said he even sent a mission to his Chat Group to help me gather baleful aura. So, I do not need to worry about this weapon for now.\'

Li Jun nodded in satisfaction before entering seclusion. His first step was to absorb the War Talisman. The process of refining the War Talisman was an exhilarating experience.

Every second, he could feel his understanding of War Dao drastically increase. It was as if someone had taken the Dao of War from beginning to end and condensed it into the shape of a talisman. And while refining it, he got to experience this Dao from beginning to end.

So, Li Jun comprehended this Dao and fused it with his own. In the process, nine shadows appeared behind Li Jun; they were not Dharma Bodies but his [Future Buddha Self]. Unfortunately, even talented people like Wang Tian can only condense 12 [Future Buddha Self] due to restrictions.

\'Done," muttered Li Jun as he looked inside his body. A quarter of his Dao Tree had turned silver.

\'Due to the restraint of time, this should be my limit. However, I should be able to achieve complete Silver before I become Emperor.\'

The next step of his cultivation was to fuse with the Dharma Body. However, Li Jun planned to follow Wang Wei\'s example and condense his Dharma Body into human size before the fusion.

Li Jun tried and was successful. However, he sensed the process was as slow as a turtle. However, the benefit was he discovered the process helped him cultivate the Force Control Skill.

\'After success, I should reach the Immortal Control and even peak at the Dao Control Level.\'

Li Jun then focused on tempering his body and absorbing the Slaughter Heart. The heart helped reinforce his foundation and temper his body.

Over the years, he used different body tempering techniques. However, the most recent was one called [Slaughter Mind Tempering], which he acquired from the Battle Maniac Ancestor; he felt his technique suited him perfectly.

The technique allowed him to condense a unique physique called [Slaughter Mind Physique], which significantly boosted his strength.

"Previously, I only half condensed this physique. However, I can complete it with the Slaughter Heart,\' thought Li Jun as he continued to absorb the heart.

"Done," he muttered before cultivating the second stage of the [Slaughter Mind Tempering]. The technique allowed him to create a world of Slaughter in his Sea of Consciousness. As such, the deeper his understanding of Slaughter Dao, the better the world he can make.

Then, he will use the power of Slaughter to condense in that world to temper his body; the power of Slaughter contains negative emotions that can corrupt the flesh. However, it also included vitality to revive the flesh, thus achieving a state of tempering through destruction and revival.

The core of this technique is the transformation of Spirit into Essence; in other words, using the mind to elevate the fleshly body.

\'This technique is quite ingenious, requiring little to no resources,\' thought Li Jun, gritting his teeth to bear the pain. \'If I guess correctly, it should be a precious Innate Technique.\'

The Slaughter World in his mind will temper his flesh, soul, and willpower. Li Jun gritted his teeth until he reached his limit.

Bang!

He punched the air, feeling the power flushing through his veins.

"52 Primordial Dragon Force: excellent," muttered Li Jun. Then, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes. "Next step."

Li Jun immediately underwent the Flesh Tribulation.

"The tribulation is composed of seven levels, corresponding to the skin, muscles or tendon, bones, organs, blood, meridians or veins, and soul," muttered Li Jun. "Most people cannot pass one, genius can survive two simultaneously, and unparallel genius will survive three."

He squinted his eyes. "Compared to talents, I am nothing compared to the ancestors or sister-in-law. However, I will never lose to them regarding Willpower.

"No, I must surpass them. So, I chose four tests."

As soon as he made a choice, he prepared. A terrifying and unknown power descended on his body, and Li Jun screamed, destroying his lung and vocal cords.

He felt his mind being broken due to the immense pain. However, he endured.

Li Jun remembered his family waiting for him, his big brother and his wives. He remembered his childhood when children looked down on him because he was born with weak luck compared to others.

More importantly, he remembered the goal he had made for himself:

\'I am no worse than anyone.\'

Li Jun kept screaming, and his life aura reached an all-time low. Regardless, he persisted. His conviction and beliefs allowed him to push behind his limit.

After an unknown amount of time, after rushing on the verge of death numerous times, he finally succeeded.

"I…survived," he muttered after everything ended. He stood up from the cultivation mat as he sensed the power from his flesh: 56 Primordial Dragon Force.

Li Jun exhaled deeply as he looked in the distance; he muttered, "I am a Heaven Chosen."

His state of mind sublimated as he felt the shackles in his mind lifted. From now on, he knew his Dao Journey would be smoother.
