Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After a brief pause, Wu Hong continued to explain:

”The Universal Seal is the ability to seal anything between Heaven and Earth/ Whether it was existing or non-existing things, physical and nonphysical things, spiritual and non-spiritual, even existing concepts like Life, Death, and even Fate.

”In summarization, she can literally seal anything in the universe.”

Wang Wei nodded as this was indeed a terrifying ability, however, since it was a taboo Talent, there must be a price or restriction.

”So, what was the restriction?” he asked.

”She could only use it once in her life,” replied Wu Hong with a calm face, and Wang Wei nodded. ”So, how did this talent help her?”

”After she received that heaven defying talent, she started to study it instead of using it. Although the Empressʼs talent was mediocre, she had an outstanding comprehension.

”She try to create a cultivation technique solely based on her talent, and when she broke through the Void Shattered Realm and understood the Law, she finally succeeded in her endeavor. Then, her meteor rise started.”

Wu Hong took a brief pause to brew herself and Wang Wei some tea, then ate and drank the Saint Realm True Person Golden Roc meat.

”The first thing she did after making her breakthrough was to actually improve her foundation. She tracked down the most powerful human genius of that time period and sealed his talent and foundation, then absorbed that personʼs Dao Foundation.”

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows as he looked deeply at Wu Hong: ”What do you mean by that?”

He was indeed confused. How can sealing have such ability? Suddenly, he thought of how Wu Hong was able to seal his pain, then removed it from his body. So, he guessed that the Empressʼ Sealing Dao was not a simple one.

However, it made sense thinking about it logically. How could a person that became an Eternal Emperor be ordinary--especially the Dao that they cultivate.

”As you can imagine, her Sealing Dao was not a simple one,” replied Wu Hong while sipping her tea. ”After sealing something, she can actually control that thing like it was a part of her and do whatever she pleases with them.

”For example, after sealing that human geniusʼ perfect Dao Foundation, she absorbed it on her own in order to benefit from it. OF course there are limits to this ability.

”She has to have a deep understanding or knowledge of the things she seals. For example, if she wanted to seal time, she needed to have a deep understanding of the Dao of Time. And if a person has much more knowledge than her in a subject, they can still find a way to break her seal, or use brute force to do so.

”However, I doubt that in her life, she has met people capable of such a thing. And if she did, they were few in numbers.”

Wang Wei nodded as he expected such a powerful Dao to have its limitations. One thing that he has noticed throughout his short years of cultivating was that there was nothing truly perfect in the cultivating world.

Everything and everyone had flaws or limitations. As a matter of fact, most cultivators are chasing perfection. With each breakthrough in cultivating realms, they get closer to becoming perfect.

As such, many cultivators believe that Great Emperors are the only perfect beings in existence, however this seems to be far from the truth. From what Wang Wei learned today, maybe only Paragons are the truly perfect beings in existence; and even that may not be a hundred percent truth.

After reigning in his thoughts, he asked: ”You said that she absorbed the perfect Dao Foundation from that human genius. From what I know, only the [Origin Path Scripture] of my Dao Opening Sect can allow a person to cultivate a ʼperfectʼ Dao Foundation, so was this human genius from my sect?”

”That is correct,” replied Wu Hong. ”He was being secretly cultivated in order to compete with the Three-Eyes Devil Prince--which was the one attracted by Empress Wuʼs beauty.”

Wang Wei nodded as he did not care about a person that was dead eons ago--even if it might have been one of his ancestors.

What he cared about was that Three-Eyes Devil Prince. For some reason, Wang Wei did not like this guy--even though he could foresee his terrible downfall.

The idea of ”How dare you have eyes for my woman” kept appearing in his mind, and he was having trouble removing them. He wanted to travel back in time and slap that guy in his face.

Although there was no evidence to suggest that Wu Hong was Empress Wu, he had a feeling that they were the same, or at least, deeply related.

”So, what happened afterwards?” asked Wang Wei, trying to remove the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Wu Hong gave him a deep look, smirk slightly to herself before continuing:

”Well, the story is pretty much as you expected. After her change in ability, Empress Wu was able to easily hide herself from being hunted down. However, using her concealment ability, she started attacking and destroying many sects or groups of the Devil Race.

”At first, the upper echelons of the Devil Race did not care due to the fact that she only killed or destroyed the low level devil races in the Void Shattered Realm and below, adding to that was the fact that the mindset of their entire race is based on survival of the strong; but they soon had to take action as the number of clans or tribes she killed reached a certain number.

So, they increased their search for her, but it was to no avail. So, the Devil Race threatened to make the human race pay for her actions if she did not stop. So, the Empress stopped and disappeared after that.

”She only showed up on the day of Heaven Will Battle. Then she and the Three-Eyes Devil Prince had a magnificent battle; it was truly one of a kind when it comes to Heaven Will Battle.

”Although Empress Wu had the advantage at first, the other Nine Devil Gods secretly interfered with the battle. They somehow managed to render the Heavenly Dao of our world completely useless, then secretly helped their prince.

”Unfortunately, this was not enough. The Empress was way more powerful and became victorious in that battle. She proved to the world and to herself that she was worthy; worthy of anything she desired--whether it was power, beauty, strength and even the worship of all living beings.”

Wang Wei sighed as he tried to imagine what such a battle would be like; with these two heaven defying geniuses born only after countless generations, it must have been magnificent.

”So, what happened afterwards? How did she end up disappearing?”

After the battle, she did not kill the Three-Eyed Devil Prince, but sealed him and took all his talents and strength. Then, she proved the Dao and became an Eternal Emperor.

”Despite the way that the human race treated her, she did not hold any form of grudges as she understood the situation that they were in. So, after proving the Dao, she prevented the Nine Devil Gods from entering the Myriad Emperor World, then she started a devastating attack on the Devil Race.

”She single handedly annihilated all the devil races that were in the Myriad Emperor World. In the process, she even destroyed 4 Forbidden Lands by herself. Then, she repeated the same process for all the worlds in our community that the Nine Devil God World had invaded during their reign.

”Once she was done, she traveled to the World Community that originally belonged to the Nine Devil God World and eliminated all their influences; this included all the world communities that they had previously invaded or destroyed before attacking the Myriad Emperor World.

”Her last stop was the home world of the Devil Race itself. By herself, she easily killed 5 of the 9 Devil Gods in their home. However, the other Devil Gods seemed to be prepared for her arrival. They used some kind of sacrificial ceremony magic and exiled from the Endless Void.

”However, before leaving, she used her Universal Seal Talent to permanently seal both the Nine Devil God World and the remaining 4 Devil Gods.

”As a matter of fact, she even sealed the Heaven Will on that world, so that from that day on, there would never be another Devil God born in that world. With her strength, the Empress single handedly ended the Devil Era, and even the Devil Race itself.

”To this day, the majority of Devil Races are nothing but slaves and their status is even worse than the Demon Race. Maybe a few of them managed to survive the purge by hiding in a far away World Community, but it is impossible for their races to rise again as the Empress even sealed the Qi Luck of Destiny of their entire races.”

”Damn,” muttered Wang Wei to himself. ”My Empress Wu is truly a savage queen, she did not give the Devil Race any chance to breathe at all.”

Wu Hong--who heard his mutter--looked at him before saying; ”Your Empress Wu?”
