Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1228  A Battle of True Will

The Barbarian King casually swapped the attack away, and Wang Wei appeared before him, plunging his hand into the latter\'s stomach. He used his five fingers as a spear, and normally, such an attack could pierce a universe, breaking it into two parts. However, it did not even scratch the Barbarian King\'s skin.

The king responded by dropping his massive elbow on Wang Wei\'s cranium. The viewers expected to see a headless corpse with blood spilling, but the attack merely created a massive shockwave that destroyed the surroundings. As for Wang Wei? He was perfectly intact.

The two stared at each other before clashing repeatedly. Wang Wei mostly used elemental attacks, while the Barbarian King was direct, using his fist and powerful body to annihilate anyone or anything in his path. After clashing for over a minute, the two stopped. They immediately knew that with their [Limit Indestructibility], no attack would work on each other.

There was only one way to determine the victor: Willpower Manifestation/Dao Will/ True Will. Only this power that negates defense and regeneration can injure them and decide the fate of this battle. As such, red lightning manifested around these two eyes.

\'Hmm? I thought he would reject using a Dao Will Artifact,\' Wang Wei thought. His initial assessment of the Barbarian King was that he was similar to those headstrong swordsmen of the Extreme Path but for body refining. Such a person should only use Willpower Manifestation and reject the power of True Will despite it being objectively better.

\'He\'s powerful, has a scheming mind, and is not headstrong or pedantic—- he\'s truly a talent.\' He was genuinely excited about acquiring such a talent. In the lower dimension, he had to mold the people around him into talents, while the other talents were either his enemy or too prideful to serve under him. But today, he did not have to worry about that.

The Barbarian King went on the offensive with a palm attack. He appeared before Wang Wei and slapped downward with his enormous hand. Wang Wei\'s eyes squinted before punching. He sensed it as soon as their attacks touched.

The palm contained an invisible swirling power that could grind even a black hole into a fine paste. However, the more impressive aspect of this technique was not its strength but the fact that the Barbarian King\'s True Will was also rotating at an alarming rate. If Wang Wei was not careful, his True Will would be dispersed, and he would be injured for real.

Unfortunately for the Barbarian King, he met an expert. Wang Wei\'s True Will seemingly assimilated with his opponent before reverting the rotating force, turning it into a backlash. The Barbarian King\'s huge body moved with terrifying speed a few kilometers away, and he glanced at a tiny red part of his palm — he was injured.

"I haven\'t bled since I fought that Old Man," he commented, his voice trying to contain his excitement. Then, he grinned: "It seems I still underestimate you."

\'What a quick reaction,\' Wang Wei thought. That attack should have pulverized the Barbarian King\'s entire arm, just like what had happened to him. \'More importantly, his body is unnatural.\' After these short clashes, Wang Wei realized the Barbarian King\'s body was not due to a special physique or bloodline but more so the result of a body refining technique. Unfortunately, the opponent\'s information was protected by this pagoda, so Wang Wei needed more time to gather and analyze more data.

"You should take this seriously," Wang Wei replied. "Otherwise, you\'ll suffer, and I won\'t accept any excuses for your defeat."

"I would never do such a sacrilegious thing and tarnish the sacred art of combat," the Barbarian King responded seriously.

\'Sacred? I never thought I would meet someone more battle-hungry than me, Li Jun, or the Monkey,\' Wang Wei thought. \'Maybe my ancestor was like this. After all, he chose the Battle Maniac name.\'

The Barbarian King\'s body suddenly lit up as if it were a shining diamond. He slashed his hand downward, managing to generate a sword slash more than ten meters long, heading toward his opponent with unparalleled speed. Wang Wei waved his hand to the side to break the attack, and his eyes squinted.

\'That bastard learned my technique,\' he thought. The Barbarian King learned his True Will application of melding his power into his opponent to disarm it. Wang Wei was sure he did not know it beforehand, given how he reacted after coming into contact for the first time.

The Barbarian King did not give him time to respond, so he continued. He flew, no, jumped, higher into the sky. As he reached a few kilometers above Wang Wei\'s head, he landed, and the space underneath his feet caved in. The Barbarian King expertly controlled his strength to bend space-time under his feet. He then used it like a slingshot to shoot himself with immeasurable speed toward Wang Wei.

Wang Wei would have praised such a brilliant body-refining movement technique, but the opponent\'s speed had reached the same level as him, maybe even slightly higher, so all his focus was on how to react. He did not evade and clashed head-on with a fist of his own. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

To the normal viewers, this clash was a confrontation of power or attack potency. However, only a few people and the two involved knew this was a confrontation of their True Wills. This is the deciding factor in a battle with strength that is so close together.

The Barbarian King used a different True Will Technique. This time around, he condensed his True Will to increase its potency before exploding. The explosion should have eliminated the opponent\'s True Will while also doing great damage to the body.

Unfortunately for him, Wang Wei retaliated with the same condensing approach but executed more brilliantly. The clash of True Will is invisible, undetectable, and indescribable to normal individuals. However, if it were to be expressed in a way for mortals to understand, then it could be summarized as such:

The Barbarian King\'s condensation was as if he took the tallest mountain possible and crushed/condensed it into a ball the size of an egg before removing the pressure and allowing it to explode. However, Wang Wei\'s was as if he took the largest star possible and condensed it into a tiny dot.

The result was the Barbarian King\'s right arm exploding in a pool of blood. However, this injury was nothing. On top of his cultivation talent, the man also had a terrifyingly high Battle IQ. He accepted his loss in the confrontation, and before his arm was entirely blown up, he removed a significant part of the right side of his body to prevent Wang Wei\'s True Will from remaining inside his body.

The Barbarian King also realized that for an opponent of this caliber, the less than a nanosecond his body needs to regenerate is plenty of time. So, the moment his arm was blowing up and he was protecting himself, he was also making a third move — growing three more limbs from his back.

So, when Wang Wei was about to follow up with a second attack, the Barbarian King\'s four arms slapped each other, releasing a potent force that pushed the space between him and his opponent, thus separating them by a few hundred light years.

The Barbarian King expected the opponent to be more aggressive and come after him, but Wang Wei stopped and waited for him. The king frowned: "What is this? Pity? Mockery?" His voice did not hide his annoyance.

"Not at all," Wang Wei replied. "I just know this is still not your true pinnacle state, and I want to see and fight you at your best."

"I understand," the king replied, his voice containing a deeper respect for his opponent. "I prepared this technique for the Old Man, but I guess you\'ll be the first one to see it." This was not the first time the Barbarian King faced an opponent that was exponentially better than him at utilizing their True Will.

After that defeat, he trained his True Will nonstop but felt it was not enough. So, he developed a method that was unique to him to give him an advantage.

[Muscle Will]

An unknown will awakened from the Barbarian King\'s body to fuse with his True Will. The answer to his problem was that he would win with numbers and raw power since he could not fight with skill against these experts.

\'What\'s going on?\' Wang Wei asked himself, extremely baffled. The body could not have another will — especially after starting the Body-Will Fusion. Any will awakening from the body would just be part of someone\'s Will Manifestation.

\'Unless he has two souls, which could make it possible, but it doesn\'t seem to be the case,\' Wang Wei thought as he observed every detail of this technique, trying to figure out its in and out.

His gray eyes lit up, and he saw something. \'This bastard. No wonder his body is so abnormal. Who knew he could think of such a thing.\'
