Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1275  The Projection & Response

(Unedited Chapter)

----

All the people attending this celebration were shocked. What did they see? A projection of their Goddess fighting this snake creature that appeared to be one of the seven moons — Blood Dragon. These people have spent all their lives being oppressed by these seven individuals, so they knew Blood Dragonʼs aura perfectly well despite his new appearance. Some wise immediately deduced why he turned into this appearance.

On the second floor, Wang Wei looked at the projection with squinted eyes. He suddenly thought of something and immediately contacted Wang Qi and Red Fate Mask.

”Patriarch, did something happen?” Wang Qi asked since the latter used the emergency contact method.

”Contact the team and tell them to head to Blood Dragonʼs territory. Once they see the sign, they must attack immediately, plunder all the resources, and take the people away.”

”What? Whatʼs going on?”

”That bastard is about to die,” Wang Wei sneered.

”Really?” Wang Qiʼs eyes lit up. ”If thatʼs true, this is our perfect opportunity.” He grinned. ”Do you want me to tell the rebellion?”

”Of course not,” Wang Wei replied. ”We donʼt need more competitors.”

”More?”

”If I guess correctly, Xun Junyaoʼs people should already be in place and preparing for the plunder.”

”Xun Junyao? So sheʼs the one responsible for this upcoming chaos?” Wang Qi uttered. ”Why does it feel that any woman related to you is extremely dangerous?”

”Watch your tongue,” Wang Wei warned while looking at Wu Hong in the corner of his eyes. ”Red Mask, how is our infiltration of the Blood Dragon Palace?”

”We have some people on the outside but no one in the core power,” Red Mask replied. The Blood Dragon Palace is the central force of Blood Dragon and his place of residence. Their group is still in the early stages, so their achievements in this area were almost nonexistent.

Wang Wei frowned. This was expected since their guard had just started and barely had enough time to make any achievements.

”In that case, we must take the risk and be more direct. When the blood dragon dies, there will be a short period of chaos in the palace. You must take this opportunity to infiltrate the inside and take control of the Paragon Formations.

”The attack from Xun Junyaoʼs team and ours will create a distraction and prolong that period of chaos. Use it to get things done.”

”Iʼll get it done,” Red Mask responded directly.

”Good.”

Wang Wei ended the conversation, but his work was far from finished. His soul exited his body, floating a few inches above his head. Myriad chains and runes appeared above the soul before slowly dissipating. Wang Weiʼs soul then pointed forward, releasing a seal that surrounded the entire palace. From now on, no one can enter or leave this palace — including the blood dragon himself. If Xun Junyao fails, he will step up to finish the job.

ʼShe only needs to weaken him so that even if she fails, I can finish the job with the two puppets and my Paragon Soul,ʼ Wang Wei thought. He then contacted his clone in the Fate Changing Hall, assembling everyone for this World Class Mission. These people will drastically increase his strength and create a better distraction so Red Mask can succeed in her mission.

After waking up from the shock of this projection, the participants had mixed reactions. Most realized they were pawned in such a plan, and their lives were at stake. They might despise the seven moons, but they would never openly defy them. Most wouldnʼt even do it secretly out of fear of being implicated.

There are those from powerful lineages who fear implicating their people. They know these parasites like to use whatever excuse to weaken or plunder their ancient lineages, and there are no better excuses than this one. Then, some people see the opportunity from Blood Dragonʼs death and immediately consider how to benefit from it.

As such, the reaction of these participants could be classified into three categories: those who still supported Xun Junyao despite her actions, those who immediately ran away, and those who contacted the outside to prepare to plunder from the chaos. Sadly for them, Wang Wei had already sealed this place, having anticipated their reaction.

…

Battle World:

After Xun Junyao copied the spear of destiny, they rushed toward Blood Dragonʼs breath attack, destroying everything in its path before rushing him. The dragon felt that these nine spears had locked him, meaning no matter what he did, he could not escape them. In other words, he was destined to be hit.

Blood Dragon roared, and an artifact that resembled a military shield with a bloody head appeared before him. The shield morphed into a dragon before fusing with Blood Dragonʼs skin/scale. When the nine spears of destiny hit, the dragon was perfectly intact.

ʼFine it,ʼ Xun Junyao thought. She knew there was one thing that could tip the scale of this battle to her opponent, and that was his wealth. No one could fathom how much wealth these people have hoarded, how many Paragon Artifacts they have in their treasury. If the dragon uses his wealth against her, she is not confident she could kill him before someone notices something.

So, when Blood Dragon summoned that shield artifact, Xun Junyao immediately found the dimension/space ring where the dragon kept all his treasure. She copied Empress Wuʼs Sealing Dao and placed the most potent seal she could amass to prevent him from accessing it.

”You!”

”As I promise, today will be your death date,” Xun Junyao sneered. The blood dragon summoned an ocean of corrosive blood. The so-called ocean spread to every corner of this universe, destroying everything. Everywhere it passed, the stars dimmed, galaxies perished, and space-time collapsed because of its corrosiveness.

However, Xun Junyao was calm. She copied a Light Dao, and with a wave of her hand, a blinding golden light purified the corrosive blood ravaging this universe. Shen then turned into a sword of light that rushed toward Blood Dragon with unparalleled speed.

The dragon made a wise fighting move by letting her attack him, and once his defense artifact blocked her, he would finish the job. Sadly for him, Xun Junyao was not a pretty flower that was not affected by the sun and rain. On the contrary, it seems she was highly well-trained in the art of combat and had a terrifying Battle IQ.

After the shield artifact blocked Xun Junyaoʼs light attack, Blood Dragon used a blood technique to absorb the blood and all vitality from her body, and it appeared it had succeeded until he realized this was nothing but a well-crafted clone. Xun Junyao primarily dealt with the Shield Paragon Artifact by copying the technique of the infamous thief, the Treasure Seeking Empyrean.

[The Art of Treasure Possession] is a rare technique that can control another personʼs artifact, including Proving Artifacts that are an extended part of anyone in the Emperor Path.

Xun Junyao did not copy the technique one hundred percent. When Lady Wu trained her, she sent her into this pagoda to fight the imprint of countless powerful and unique entities while asking her to copy their abilities to the best of her ability. As such, she did not know whether the Treasure Seeking Empyreanʼs technique would work on a Paragon Artifact — especially with her only having copied 95% of its essence. So, she did not try to control the artifact but rendered it inoperable for a certain period.

Once she achieved her goal, she used the Sky-Tearing Hand technique to penetrate the dragonʼs body and ravage his internal organs. Blood Dragon roared. His snake tail hit Xun Junyao with immense force, pushing her a few thousand lightyears away. He then immediately used his Blood Dao to control Life Dao. After all, blood is considered one of the primary sources of life in the body.

The Blood Dragon summoned a river of vitality. A single drop from that river was enough to give life to a universe the same size as the lower dimension. However, even after absorbing it, his injury did not change. The reason for that was simple: Xun Junyao was an Everlasting Empyrean and had some achievement in body refining, meaning she left her True Will inside his body. Meanwhile, the blood dragon could no longer assess his Dao Will/Paragon Will Artifact.

Xun Junyao changed her Dao into Yin-Yang. She pointed at the river of vitality and turned it into a river of Death Qi. The dragon resisted, so the river became a battle between life and death, rapidly changing from white to black.

Xun Junyao took this opportunity to copy another Dao. Her demeanor changed to that of a supreme swordsman not tolerated by Heaven and Earth. A bamboo materialized on her right hand, and she waved it calmly to release a sword slash. The dragon had a terrified expression after seeing the bamboo sword, but what happened next solidified his reaction.

The entire battle world screamed in agony at the appearance of the slash. Blood Dragon reacted swiftly as he opened his mouth to release a ball, his Proven Dao Artifact. This thing was in his Sea of Consciousness, thus not affected by the previous seal. He immediately used its power to protect himself from that slash.
