Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Li Jun shook his head after hearing this, then he replied: ”No matter how strong you become or how you broke the shackles of your bloodline, the arrogance of the Divine Clan embedded deep in your soul cannot be change.”

Then, he waved his hand to summon countless soldiers; this time around, the number was immediately three to five times greater than previously. Immediately afterwards, all these soldiers suddenly committed suicide.

Countless bodies laid in the ground, turning the arena crimson red. Then, under the control of Li Jun, countless red lights--which were in fact Slaughter Qi--came from these dead soldiersʼ bodies, condensed into the form of a blade; a Slaughter Blade.

Fang Lijuan frowned after seeing this as she felt an immense threat from that blade. Without hesitation, she disappeared from her spot. Unfortunately for her, the blade seemed to have a powerful lock on her.

As soon as she disappeared and prepared to attack again, Li Jun just randomly waved his blade, then a powerful slash headed straight to Fang Lijuanʼs position. Knowing the danger of such a powerful attack, she instantly wrapped herself in a green crystal that blocked the attack.

The odd thing was that she was still invisible to most people in the audience--including Li Jun himself. All he did was wave his Slaughter Blade, and the attack will head directly to Fang Lijuanʼs direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless explosions occurred in the arena as Li Jun kept waving his blade. Knowing that the situation could not go on like this, Fang Lijuan used her Divine Sense to try to discover what this blade was using to track her whereabouts. After spending a few seconds, she discovered that the blade was locking on the slaughter qi in her body.

As a cultivator, she has killed many people, as such, accumulated a lot of Slaughter Qi. Some hidden so deeply that she was not even aware of their existence.

After discovering the problem, Fang Lijuan set out to deal with it quickly and efficiently. She first expelled the Slaughter Qi out of her body, unfortunately, some of them were too deeply rooted--to the point of even attaching to her soul. Then, a mysterious power came from her blood and entered these difficult Qi.

Instantly, they disappeared, became invisible.

Meanwhile, Li Jun--who had just used a random slash from his blade--had an ugly look on his face, and it was not because his attack did not find his opponent this time. It was because he discovered that his origin essence was less than it should be.

His big brother once told him that his control of origin qi was terrible, and Li Jun took this comment to heart. So, he spent many years practicing control over his own internal energy. He knows with perfect clarity how much he uses in every attack.

However, now, he discovered that the amount was less than it should. Knowing that something was wrong, Li Jun used another random slash while taking very close attention to his origin essence; it was then that he discovered that a small percentage of his origin essence mysteriously disappeared from his Divine Sea, without his consent or knowledge of where it went.

ʼWhat is going on?ʼ thought Li Jun to himself. Unfortunately for him, he did not have a lot of time to ponder the answer to this question. Without the bladeʼs ability to locate her, Fang Lijuan once again went on the offensive.

With a wave of her hand, countless clear crystals appeared around Li Jun; then they started to gather energy like an energy cannon from a Sci-Fi movie. Then, with absolute speed, they rushed towards Li Jun.

The latter--who still could not see these crystals--felt the threat of death rapidly approaching him. So, he instantly enveloped himself with a blood red shield or dome. Unfortunately for him, this move did little to help except for increasing the rate at which he lost his origin essence.

Meanwhile, in the Di Familyʼs floating booth, Di Tian looked at the battle with a calm look on his face, then he muttered with a sneer on his face: ”I cannot believe that the Academy has resulted in using such a method. This Bai Han is nothing like his father.

”Anyway, his actions are beneficial to me, so why should I complain?”

Inside the Dao Opening Sectʼs floating booth, Wang Wei looked at the battle with a frown on his face; instinctively, he felt that something was wrong, but he could not wrap his head around what it was.

So, he immediately activated his True Vision ability, so he instantly noticed that Li Junʼs origin essence was diminishing at an alarming rate. But, he could not find the reason.

”Whatʼs going on?” he muttered to himself.

”The Absorbing Origin Formation,” replied Wu Hong. ”Itʼs a Quasi-Emperor Grade formation that can drain the origin essence of a Supreme Realm True Monarch; it was very popular in the last Era as a way to imprison people.”

After hearing this, he concentrated his ocular power, but he did not find anything. ”Where?” he asked.

”Deep under the fighting arena,” replied Wu Hong.

Wang Wei then focused his eyes there, but he still could not see anything. So, he closed his eyes, mobilized the power of his souls to fuel the strength of his True Vision. Finally, he discovered a very complex formation.

The amount of runes in that array even made him dizzy just by looking at it. Wang Weiʼs first thought was to reveal the Academyʼs cheating, but he soon gave up that idea. Even he needed the power of his soul to notice the existence of that formation, let alone others.

Since it is a Quasi-Emperor Tier, there is no guarantee that a True Monarch may be able to discover its existence. And even if they did, he could guess that the Academy has a back up plan for this formation to completely disappear before someone reveals its existence.

Nevertheless, he still used his Divine Sense to warn his Dao Protector. Unfortunately for him, a few minutes later, Yan Chen said to him: ”Iʼm sorry, young master, I could not discover anything.”

Wang Weiʼs brain rapidly operated in order to find a solution. ʼMaybe I could use the Array Virus to try to remotely control it? No, that wonʼt work. The Array Virus cannot even work on a Heaven Grade formation, let alone a Quasi-Emperor one.ʼ

Then, he looked at Wu Hong, ”Canʼt you do anything?”

”Unfortunately, no.” replied Wu Hong as she shook her head. ”This formation is actually linked to the 8 Emperor Tier formation of the Academy. As long as anyone tries to interfere with it in any way possible, it will self-destruct and erase any evidence of its existence.”

He sighed after hearing this: ”It seems that I can only count on Li Jun to turn the odds in this battle.”

Meanwhile, Li Junʼs body was battered with wounds all over his body; his legs and hands were pierced by the lasers shooting from Fang Lijuanʼs crystal gun. Many of his internal organs were also pierced; in general, he was in a pretty terrible shape.

The only reason that he was not dead yet was due to the fact that he kept on summoning more soldiers, then sacrificed their blood and life energy to heal himself. Unfortunately, both the amount of summon and his body was slowly reaching their limits

Despite all of this, there was no look of despair in his eyes. On the contrary, his determination to win this battle did not waver in the slightest; he was desperately trying to discover the location.

Suddenly, Li Jun mobilized all the strength of his body and instantly appeared in a certain location; he was so fast that few people could actually catch his movement.

Without hesitation, he stabbed his Slaughter Blade in the direction that he appeared in. Weirdly, blood started falling from the empty air, then Fang Lijuanʼs body materialized with a saber right through her heart.

She coughed on a mouthful of blood that fell on Li Jun, then she asked: ”How did you discover me?”

”I located you through the blood floating through your veins.”

”I should have expected that someone who cultivated the Dao of Slaughter would have some powers related to the blood,” replied Fang Lijuan calmly. A calmness that ringed alarming bells on Li Junʼs mind.

With the same calmness, Fang Lijuan removed the blade from her body, then a crystal heart appeared in the place where she was stabbed. Li Jun could actually see that a new heart was slowly being cultivated inside the crystal heart.

Following which, all of Fang Lijuanʼs muscles and skins that were pierced rapidly healed--even her dress returned to a normal state. She looked at Li Jun, smiled coldly before saying: ”Now, let the real battle commence. Of course, that is if you can still keep up.”

Li Junʼs heart skipped a beat after hearing this; with his current shape, he was incapable of any intense fight. Not to mention that his origin essence was almost bottom out.

ʼDo I have to use my Taboo Innate Talent?ʼ secretly thought Li Jun to himself.
