Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1273  [Spear Of Destiny]

”Personally, I never liked the dragon race,” Xun Junyao continued. ”For what they are capable of, they are too arrogant. They are not the pinnacle race of bloodline and Innate Creatures since that title goes to the Fiendgods.

”They are not the best regarding law comprehension since that title goes to us humans. So, what do they have for them to be so arrogant? Besides being able to show their superiority to the demon race, there is nothing special about them.

”And Iʼve always wondered why dragons represented the Qi Luck of all sentient races? What did they do to deserve such an honor? I doubt their forefathers did anything valuable or unique to warrant such a blessing; it was probably Grand Daoʼs choice.” Xun Junyao shook her head, not hiding her disdain.

”Regardless of how I felt about them, they did one praiseworthy thing: cursing you,” Xun Junyao sneered. She knew that the bastard was ruthless even to his own kind, so during the Paragon Clean-Up, he volunteered to deal with his clan members. The sick bastard probably had some sense of inferiority due to his treatment in the clan and thought this was a perfect opportunity to get revenge.

Unfortunately for him, one of the remaining Paragons of the dragon clan was a ruthless man. Once she realized what fate awaited her and the surviving members of the clan, she sacrificed herself and all her hatred to put a nasty bloodline curse on Blood Dragon.

”Enough about the dragon clan,” Xun Junyao declared as she raised her hand to manifest a dark aura. She waved her left hand to summon a river composed of chains with symbols on them.

”I need you to show me where your Dao Mark is.”

Blood Dragon stared at her with bloodshed eyes. Although he did not speak, the ridicule in his facial expression was evident.

”I know you wonʼt talk peacefully. Thatʼs why I brought this thing. Here. Have a small taste.” She injected the black aura into his body, and Blood Dragon immediately fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably. Then, less than ten seconds later, he started screaming his throat out. Xun Junyao calmly watched him for half a minute before stopping the pain.

”Iʼve copied the flesh tribulation pain of more than 10 million body refiners, ranging from the Mortal Realm to those close to opening the Gate of Flesh,” Xun Junyao explained. ”How is the pain? Do you want to try more, or do you want to tell me what I want to know?”

Blood Dragon did not utter a word. He couldnʼt, even if he wished to, as he could still feel the lingering pain. But even if that were not the case, he knew the importance of his Dao Mark and would never reveal such information. He might have many weaknesses, but there is one thing that he never plays with — his life.

”Thatʼs unfortunate,” Xun Junyao sighed before activating the pain again. She watched him scream for half an hour.

”You know you could just kill yourself, right?” Xun Junyao stated. ”Do it, and the pain will end.” Blood Dragon continued to scream in agony. ”Unfortunately, for people like you, living is above everything. Your life is more precious than even pain or discomfort. I guess I should give you some credit since your insistence on living despite anything is a form of high willpower.”Xun Junyao watched him for another half hour before stopping the pain.

”Donʼt…waste…your breath. I wonʼt say…anything,” Blood Dragon uttered.

”Oh, Iʼm aware of this,” she replied with a smile. ”I figured this might happen, so the pain was just the first step of the plan. Its purpose was to weaken you mentally for the next part.”

A transparent cube with a blue, dream-like fog appeared in the mist. ”This is the ultimate illusion created by the Thirteen Tail Paragon. Iʼve added some essence of perfection into it to raise it to the next level.” As she looked at the cube in her hands, Xun Junyao could not help but feel sad due to its creatorʼs story.

The Thirteen Tail Paragon came from somewhere in the lower dimension as a mutated 10-tail Fox Demon. However, her life was cursed by betrayal. Her clan betrayed her, and after ascending, everyone she trusted eventually betrayed her.

Disillusioned by the world, she lived in isolation to protect her heart. Sadly, fate had other plans. A wounded man landed in her place of isolation, and out of the kindness of her heart, she saved him. Then, they slowly got to know each other, and her frozen heart slowly melted.

Unfortunately, destiny has already written her life as a tragedy. In the Paragon Realm, her Dao Companion, the man she saved, betrayed her. Xun Junyao never discovered why, but she knew the Thirtail Tail Paragon was injured. Before dying, she cast the ultimate illusion, putting the love of her life into a world of lust in which his essence would slowly be drained. This death was slow and devastating, but simultaneously, he never felt a single thing. Until the last primordial Yang energy in his body was sucked dry, and his body and soul scattered, that man never felt an ounce of pain.

Unfortunately, the Thirteen Tail Paragon also did not make it. She did not succumb to her injury but was tired of life after that betrayal, so she removed her Dao Mark and scattered it between Heaven and Earth.

Xun Junyao took a moment to compose herself before activating the illusion. She was lucky to find this thing still active in a secret realm and almost died. That secret realm is one of the few instances where her perfection saved her life as it awakened her from that eternal illusion.

As expected, Blood Dragon was immediately laughing like an idiot. Xun Junyao did not blame him since she knew he was currently experiencing all the fantasies he had about her without remembering the fact she had just tried to kill him.

She controlled the illusion so that he revealed the location of his mark. Blood Dragon subconsciously resisted, but he eventually revealed the information after a slow and steady approach.

ʼExcellent,ʼ Xun Junyao thought before memorizing the location and putting her Dao Will on the mark so she could erase it later. ʼThis is a perfect opportunity to get information out of him. Should I…No, Iʼve already wasted so much time.ʼ She activated the curse to its full power.

Boom! Blood Dragon exploded into a pool of blood that scattered everywhere. His soul also disintegrated. Xun Junyao was the only clean thing in the room since a barrier protecting her blocked the stain. She then waited, and a few seconds later, the blood dragon returned.

”No,” roared Blood Dragon, his voice full of anger and agony. He did not expect the opponent to have more than one Re-Life Talisman. How could she have gathered so much? Theyʼve been ensuring these things are extinct for countless yuan epochs.

Blood Dragon wanted to attack, but it was useless. After his outburst, the bloodline curse had already activated. He looked at her, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He put his hands above his heart and pulled out a red liquid.

ʼHeʼs stripping his bloodline? I did not expect this level of ruthlessness from him,ʼ Xun Junyao frowned. She knew the consequences of such an action. He will indeed remove the curseʼs effect, but the backlash was numerous, including flesh weakening, soul injury, and losing countless bloodline abilities and techniques.

ʼEven if I urge the curse now, it wonʼt kill him, just further weakening him.ʼ An injured and weak Paragon was still a Paragon. ʼItʼs time for the third killing method….Old Man Tianji, itʼs your turn.ʼ

ʼIʼm on it.ʼ

A formation appeared above the room before starting to nurture this golden orb. ”Go ahead,” said Old Man Tianji.

”Fellow Daoists,” Xun Junyao said, her voice reaching the ears of all the banquet attendants. ”Iʼve encountered a difficult problem, and I know this is a lot to ask for, but I would like to borrow your destiny. I cannot explain in detail now, but I promise itʼs for a good cause, and I will tell you everything once this is over.”

”Lady Xun needs our destiny? No problem.”

”You can have it.”

”Forget borrowing; Iʼll give it to you if you wish.”

Countless Qi Luck Dragons and celestial phenomena rushed from the banquet room and into the golden light. Meanwhile, Wang Wei and a few people did not act rashly. Instead, he looked at Wu Hong.

”Donʼt look at me.”

”Things have gotten this far. Canʼt you just tell me?”

”No.”

”I feel like youʼre just being petty.”

”Bingo,” Wu Hong gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Wei sighed, and after thinking about it briefly, especially his conversation with Old Man Tianji, he sent his destiny. Of course, he also added something to it for protection and to spy on what itʼs going to be used for. Most people, like Emperor Kong, made similar choices as Wang Wei after pondering about it, and only a handful of people directly rejected the proposal.

Old Man Tianji, who was controlling the formation, had brilliant lights in his eyes after seeing Wang Weiʼs destiny. He even sighed in relief. With all the people present, itʼs possible to condense the [Spear of Destiny] to kill the dragon and ruin his luck, but it will be perfect if the destined one used his destiny. With him added to the equation, there will be no issue.
