Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 363 - Ancient Clanʼs Goal

Huo Fenghuang looked at the space behind her that was completely blocked by that talisman. Her Dao Protectors should take quite some time before arriving here.

Then, she finally looked at the person responsible for all of this: Wang Wei.

ʼWhat a handsome guy,ʼ she thought to herself calmly, before looking at the surroundings.

ʼBased on the spy we left at the core mountain, the first group to arrived at the tomb should be the people of the Herd Raising Valley. Yet, the Wang Clan descendant is the one here. 

ʼFor more than 200 years, the Dao Opening Sect has been acting very weird regarding this secret realm; they were too nonchalant regarding the entire thing.

ʼThis might be because they already had a way to enter the core as we did.ʼ

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was also looking at Huo Fenghuang after she emerged from the void.

ʼWhat a beautiful woman,ʼ he thought. Although this was not the first time he saw her, this was the first time he saw her so close.

ʼMore importantly, her aura indicates that she seems to be in a realm similar to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Based on the fact that she could not completely hide it means that she lacked control of her strength, most likely as a result of just breaking through.

ʼThree years ago, the changes that occurred which made all the formations at the Core Mountain weakened might be the result of her breakthrough.ʼ

”Miss Huo, are you here for the tomb as well?”

”Yes.”

”In that case, letʼs used our fist to determine the ownership.”

Wang Wei wanted to secretly place the bones inside his space ring, however, he felt a great resistance in doing so, making it impossible to do so in just an instant.

Additionally, he could feel this girlʼs fighting intent as she locked on his every move.

Without hesitation or saying another word, he rushed towards her; he knew that time was not in his favor. His talisman could not block the void for long, and his Dao Protectors could also not stop the other factions on Core Mountain from entering.

So, the more time passed, the less advantage the situation was to him.

Wang Weiʼs clone clenched his fingers into a fist to throw a punch.

Whish!

The air squeeze and tremble under the force of his fleshly body. However, to his slight surprise, Huo Fenghuang responded with the same action as him.

Bang!

The two fists clashed together creating a powerful shockwave that made the surroundings hundred of meters tremble.

ʼWhat a powerful fleshly body,ʼ thought Wang Wei after the first clash. Then, he became excited. He threw punches after punches at her. In just a few seconds, he threw over a million punches, and yet, she calmly responded with punches of her own.

After a few seconds of exchange, the two of them stopped at the same time. Wang Wei immediately noticed that her fists were perfectly fine, not even slightly red. Her breathing was normal, and not even a drop of sweat could be seen on her forehead.

”Truly impressive, Miss Huo,” commented Wang Wei. ”Ever since that poor boy Ji Song died, I have never had such a hearty battle.”

”Young Master Wang, I am not your training punching bag.”

”I apologize if my words seem rude. Sometimes, my lust for battle can get the best of me.”

”I accept your apology,” replied Huo Fenghuang calmly. Although she appeared calm, she was very serious on the inside. She cultivated an eye secret technique that allows her to see the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.

So, she knew that the person in front of her was only a clone of the real body. Yet, the clone had such tremendous strength. She could not fathom how powerful the main body was.

Thinking about this, she decided to take a different approach to achieve her goal.

”Young Master Wang, why donʼt we each take a step back. I just need a few drops of blood from the dragon spine, and Iʼll be on my way.”

Wang Wei pondered for a moment. With the strength of this clone, it will take a while if he wants to defeat her. And he might not even succeed; he had to admit that she deserved to be a person cultivated by an ancient clan.

Additionally, time was not on his side.

”How much do you need?”

”10 drops.”

”Iʼll give you five, and I have two other conditions.”

Huo Fenghuang frowned after hearing this. She was not asking much as the spine could still produce more than 100 drops of blood, and she only wanted less than 10%.

However, after thinking about it and her purpose for the blood, she agreed.

”Fine, but please do not go too far.”

”Malleable to the situation, I see,” said Wang Wei with a charming smile. Unfortunately, Huo Fenghuang did not care for his charming good looks.

”My first condition is a question. Why is your ancient clan so adamant about your consecutive ways? You all should understand that over time, the weaker your clans will become.” 

After a momentʼs pause, Huo Fenghuang said: ”You could not possibly understand how prosperous we were in those eras. For example, our Huo clan had 8 Great Emperors before the beginning of the Null Era.

”Yet, all of them died. The most powerful Ancient Clan as you called it had more than 12 Great Emperors at their peaks. Yet, all of them died without even leaving their inheritances.”

Wang Wei was slightly surprised by this news. He guessed that maybe in ancient times, the concept of the Nine Emperor Curse did not exist. If you count the Three Emperors that the Huo Clan had after the Ancient Emperor Era, that made a total of 11 Emperors, 2 more than their Dao Opening Sects.

”Every younger generation of our clan is taught at a young age to reclaim the glory of our ancient clans.”

”And how exactly are you going to do such a thing? Just cultivating an Emperor will not help and can only prolong the inevitable. I can feel that just by standing here, Heaven and Earth are slowly rejecting your presence.

”Wouldnʼt be easier for you guys to change and try to reclaim your glory with the changes of the new era.”

”No, we will not. Instead, we will change Heaven and Earth,” replied Huo Fenghuang resolutely.

”Change Heaven and Earth? Do you guys want to return the world to ancient times? To bred innate qi to the Myriad Emperor World?”

From what Wang Wei knew, in the Primordial Era, humans were created after the first ray of Acquired Qi or Spiritual Energy was born between Heaven and Earth. However, the environment at that time still had abundant Innate Qi--even during the Emperor Beginning Era.

It was later on that Innate Qi completely disappeared from the world.

”Thatʼs correct.”

”Interesting,” muttered Wang Wei. If those ancient clans succeeded, the environment would be more suited for them to practice. More resources that they could use will also be born.

”Have you guys also thought about the problems that arise with this plan? With the revival of Innate Energy, the Innate Lifeforms will also return. Another war between Acquired and Innate will be wage once more.”

”At that time, our ancient clan will also lead the Myriad Emperor World to win the war–just like we did in ancient times,” replied Huo Fenghuang.

Wang Wei sneered after hearing this. Although he also had planned to return Innate Energy to the world, he had no intention of letting the Innate Lifeforms from returning.

The Myriad Emperor World has long been the world of humans, and it has to stay that way.

”Alright. My second condition is simple. We will both use our most powerful attack to determine the victor of this battle.”

He then clenched his fist and attacked without hesitation.

[Desolate God Fist]

With this one attack, everything in the surrounding instantly became bleak. The ground they were standing on, the walls in the tombs, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth: everything.

Huo Fenghuang felt that the life force in her body was about to be severed by this punch, so, she immediately attacked in return.

[Phoenix Flame]

With one punch of her, a beautiful phoenix made of pure red flames appeared; she chirped like a bird. However, unlike ordinary birds, her voice was beautiful, ethereal, and contained a noble presence.

Then, the phoenix began to burn everything in her surroundings, even the desolate power contained in Wang Weiʼs fists.

A terrible explosion occurred in the entire tomb, burning and destroying every single piece of dirt in this room.

Once the shockwaves subsided, there was only one thing that was perfectly intact in the tomb: the dragon bones.

Wang Wei had burned skins in different parts of his body. As for Huo Fenghuang, a few parts of her skin were dried as if they had lost all moistures.

Luckily, these two were considered freaks even in the cultivating world. In just a few seconds, their injuries quickly healed. Wang Weiʼs healing was natural, however, Huo Fenghuang had flames appear on the place she wanted to heal.

She looked like a phoenix that was undergoing Nirvana; it was quite a beautiful sight to see.

The two watched each one with great concentration. In that final confrontation, they were evenly matched. However, they both knew that they did not use their full strength.

”Who?” suddenly roared the two of them at the same time.
