Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

During the ten minutes fight against the Wrath of Heaven, Wang Wei did suffer some injuries, but it was not due to the power of the gigantic hand. It was due to himself actually.

Five minutes into the fight, Wang Weiʼs body suddenly collapsed and disappeared, followed by the annihilation of his soul. However, he was still not dead yet.

An illusory figure that looked exactly like Wang Wei appeared in the place where his body used to be. This illusory figure was not his soul, but a physical manifestation of his will.

It turned out that Wang Weiʼs mortal body was too weak to bear his supreme and powerful will, as such, it was destroyed. However, his will still maintained a fight against the Wrath of Heaven.

In fact, Wang Wei believed that even if he had cultivated to the highest cultivating realm possible, his body probably would not be able to support such will and determination.

Back to the fight, during the confrontation with the Wrath of Heaven, a roar of anger echoes throughout the infinite chaos. The Wrath of Heaven was enraged at the fact that the ant that he should be able to squash at will managed to resist his might to such a degree. This was a great insult.

As such, the gigantic hand decided to increase its power. With the wave of its hand, all the 3000 Dao that make up Heaven and Earth were completely obliterated, the infinite chaos was shattered and the illusory world returned to its origin of nothingness.

However, despite all of these, Wang Weiʼs Will still remained intact, it remained indestructible and unbreakable.

Meanwhile, outside of the Pagoda, when the Wrath of Heaven used such a powerful method, a great change occurred. The Pagoda started to tremble and shake wildly.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire Dao Opening Sect changed. A mysterious feeling enveloped the entire sect; everything suddenly became bleak and somber.

The upper echelons of the Dao Opening Sect were able to feel the atmosphere more seriously than the disciples. They suddenly felt that the confrontation between Wang Wei and the gigantic hand was more than a mere trial; they felt as if this confrontation involved the fate of all the people in the world.

Although this mysterious feeling only lasted a few minutes and then disappeared, the Upper echelons of the sect knew that their feelings were not wrong. They instinctively knew that something beyond their comprehension must have happened.

They took notes of this change and planned to review the sectʼs record to see if they can find any precedent or information.

In the tenth minute of Wang Weiʼs fight against the gigantic hand, right before he exited the Pagoda, something unexpected happened again.

A drop of blood suddenly dropped from the gigantic hand and fell into the Nothingness of the Universe. In the palm of the Wrath of Heaven, there was a slight opening, a slight wound in which a drop of blood flew out.

The Wrath of Heaven was injured. For the first time in 10,000 battles, the gigantic hand suffered from an injury and actually bled.

This was truly a miracle.

Everyone watching this scene outside of the Pagoda were shocked, even the elders. No one has managed to ever wound the gigantic hand--not even the Great Elders and Sect Master.

In fact, the people most shocked were actually the Great Elders of the Formation Hall and Refining Hall.

As they participated in the refining of the Pagoda, they both knew that the setting of the Ninth Pagoda Trial was designed as an Almighty and Powerful Supreme Being that brought absolute despair to the testers.

According to the setting, it is impossible to wound the Wrath of Heaven. What the Young Sect Master did was like someone finding a bug in real life.

Life can be considered the most perfect program: it is smooth, absolute, and perfect. How can there be a bug in life just like in games?

However, that is exactly what Wang Wei did. He found, or should say created a bug in a perfect and absolute program. This is, in essence, a true miracle.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Pagoda.

Wang Wei watched the blood of the Wrath of Heaven drop down and fall into emptiness. He smiles happily and mutters to himself and to the gigantic hand: ”Now, Iʼam more than worthy.”

Soon afterward, Wang Weiʼs will disappears and he exits the Pagoda.

After his exit, Wang Wei ponders the state he experienced in the Pagoda. He tries to do it again, however, he fails. This is not a surprise, after all, this is the real world, not the Pagoda.

However, Wang Wei knows that a seed has been planted. When the right circumstances arrive, he knows that he has the foundation to reach such a state again. All he has to do is wait for the right time and place.

While Wang Wei was pondering his experience in the Ninth Trial, a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind him. The shadow--who looks exactly like a grown up Wang Wei-- sits on a throne with countless beings bowing to him.

This is the shadow representing the Young Emperor. Unlike last time, the full figure of the shadow became transparent and a throne was added.

When the shadow appears, an overbearing aura surrounds the whole Dao Opening Sect. All the disciples--except for the Contemporary Sacred Son--kneel down and were forced to bow to Wang Wei. In fact, both the Contemporary Sacred Son and the Elders felt a very spiritual pressure forcing them to bow their head.

Of course, due to the vast difference of cultivation level, they could ignore the pressure. However, imagine if they had to fight while resisting this pressure, this would be quite the difficult fight.

Unfortunately, the shadow did not fully manifest. After Wang Wei finishes his pondering, the shadow disappears like an illusion.

Upon waking up, Wang Wei sees a bunch of disciples kneeling and bowing to him and he becomes shocked. Immediately, he thought of something and said: ”You can all stand up.”

After hearing his words, all the disciples stood up and looked at Wang Wei with awe and reverence, and a little bit of fear.

Upon seeing the change of emotions of the sectʼs disciples, Wang Wei knew that his prestige in the sect would reach a high time from now on. No one can shake his status from now on.

Although he will still have to deal with some temptations in the future, as long as he deals with them in a timely manner, everything will be fine.

Wang Wei then makes a gesture toward his head maid, who then holds him and flies toward the Wang Family Mansion.

Wang Wei knows that the first step of his rise in the Path of the Emperor has been taken. All he needs to do is to slowly walk the path he laid out and prepares for the future. As long as he prepares as much as possible, then no matter the outcome, he can accept it and calmly says that he had tried his best.
