Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1383  Buddhaʼs Fury

”What about a body made entirely of energy?” Wang Wei asked. ”How long would that take?”

”If itʼs just a regular body, then it would be feasible in your ridiculous time span,” Flame Blacksmith answered. ”Even if we had access to the Source Qi Space, we might have been able to pull something.

”However, you said you wanted one on par with your current body. Although I donʼt know much about your fleshly body, I can deduce how much time it would require to make the weakest peak Indestructible Empyrean body, which would still require a few hundred yuan epochs.”

Wang Wei groaned, and after thinking about it briefly, he dismissed these two. ”Since I canʼt make one, I must use one already available.ʼ He waved his hand to summon his guardian puppet. Wang Wei looked at it and frowned. Technically speaking, he could put his soul into the puppet, thus acquiring Paragonʼs strength.

ʼThis thing is too rigid for intense combat,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. The highest strength output he can use in this puppet is 92%, and its greatest flaw is the lack of regenerative ability. Any injuries to the puppet are permanent and require time and resources to fix, which is different from a fleshly body.

ʼI need a body of flesh and blood,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. However, this approach had even more significant problems. His body was unique, and heʼs not talking about how perfectly he has trained it. His body has been ideally attuned to carry his terrifying soul and willpower. According to Wang Weiʼs calculation, even if he used the best fleshly body similar to Mongke, he would destroy that body after one battle.

His powerful soul and willpower would permanently damage the body, and after one intense battle, such flesh would collapse without any way to prevent that from happening. ʼHowever, I donʼt have much of a choice.ʼ

In fact, Wang Wei had two other targets: Old Man Dai and Paragon Jimin. Their paragon flesh would be the perfect vessel for him, but unfortunately, the former disappeared from the Lawless Zone, and he had no idea where Jimin was operating.

Wang Wei first sent an order to Red Mask to kidnap body refiners in the peal of the Empyrean realm, preferably devil cultivators, before teleporting back to the Origin Seal Continent.

”Have you figured out something?” Yan Hai asked while sitting cross-legged and drinking tea.

”I guess,” Wang Wei explained. ”My request is still the same, but I wonʼt use clan members. These people must be body refiners.”

”Thatʼs the best you can come up with?”

”All other methods require too much time, and I canʼt wait,” Wang Wei shrugged. Yan Hai nodded. She understood how small of a margin for action that Wang Wei has in the current situation, so she no longer commented on his approach.

”There are plenty of prisoners in the Suppressing Essence Tower,” Yan Hai said before frowning.

”Whatʼs that? And why donʼt you look confident?”

”Itʼs a place we imprisoned body refiners to use as trials for the sect and as emergency energy when needed,” Yan Hai explained.

”Are there any problems with it?”

”Itʼs sealed.”

”Sealed? You mean?”

”A few paragons were imprisoned, so that bastard wanted to destroy it. However, Supreme Unity convinced him, and they only sealed it.”

”So, itʼs useless.”

”Not necessarily,” Yan Hai continued. ”The sect reported to me long ago that the bottom parts of the seal were slowly enwrapping on their own. I reckon I can forcefully open the area with the Empyrean Prisoners.”

Wang Weiʼs eyes lit up: ”How many people are available?”

”Are you talking about Empyreans? Too many to count.”

”Thatʼs good to hear,” Wang Wei said. Even if he could only use these bodies once, there should be enough for him not to worry much about future battles until he found a way to return to his peak.

Yan Hai looked at him but said nothing: ”I need to return to the sect. I should be done in less than a month.”

”Do you want me to stay here?”

”No need,” Yan Hai replied. She doesnʼt think itʼs a good idea for him to stay in one place for too long. Although Maitreya said he would do a better job at guarding Supreme Unity, it was not worth taking the risk.

”Iʼll activate all the formations and put this place on the highest alert state.” Yan Hai explained. ”They should be fine until I return.”

”Alright,” Wang Wei nodded before leaving. He did not stay around to wait for his ancestorʼs good news. Instead, he started preparing himself. He created a large pool before dropping one drop of his blood that soon turned into an ocean to fill that area. Wang Wei proceeded to add another drop of Soul Blood, deepening the redness of this blood pool.

Finally, he started carving arrays. His attainment in arrays was not on par with what he wanted to do, so he used a common tactic of cultivators with higher cultivation but low knowledge: stacking. His soul was powerful enough to create millions, if not billions, of arrays and stack their effects together.

”Excellent,” Wang Wei nodded before sensing something. He checked his communication talisman: ”Perfect timing.” He pointed to the void, and after a slight spatial fluctuation, a body appeared in this dimension, and he sent it into the pool. He observed quietly.

”There needs to be some adjustment, but everything seems to be working,” Wang Wei muttered. The pool slowly adjusted this body to be more like his, thus allowing him to use his power better. However, Wang Wei was not too happy. His original intention was to change/temper these bodies and ensure a single one could allow him to experience at least two bodies.

The result told him that without the pool, most bodies wouldnʼt survive more than three attacks with his soul and willpower.

ʼAlthough this guy cultivated to the peak, he only survived a little over 2000 tribulations. Maybe the others will be better.ʼ Wang Wei was not too hopeful, especially since he knew how rare it was for someone to cultivate all 3800 tribulations, let alone go beyond it and achieve [Limit Indestructibility] like him and Mongke.

Body refining is already rare, and in the current era where people fear showing too much of their talents, Wang Wei was not confident in finding an excellent vessel. ʼI guess I can only wait and hope my luck is better.ʼ

Time passed, and three days later, the worldʼs turmoil once again started. The Twin Sun Border was a prosperous area, arguably one of the most thriving areas in this turbulent era. It was once the border between Buddhism and Taoism Territory. As the two unofficial rulers of this world, the two titans had to promote unity and prosperity, and the existence of the Twin Sun Border was proof of that.

However, today, this area is full of life and resources and is now a desert. There was no sign of life, but that was only temporary. Around noon, Wuzhe appeared in the area with shining golden eyes, followed by countless monks.

Maitreya waited less than five seconds before Supreme Unity and his people arrived.

”You know this wonʼt change anything, do you?” he said in his cold and indifferent voice. ”You cannot win, so why must you insist?”

”It seems that everyone has underestimated me,” Maitreya replied calmly. ”Itʼs understandable, given my prior results. However, do you think youʼre the only one who has been laying chess pieces on this board for a long time?ʼ

Supreme Unity frowned while raising his alert to the highest level. He thought Maitreyaʼs previous attack was her only trump card, and this war was a desperate move to hold him back and buy this world enough time.

”Do it,” Maitreya ordered. One of the Empyreans behind Supreme Unity suddenly summoned an artifact and spoke out loud:

”Taoism is about following nature, not ignoring or taking it over. Our roots have been corrupted by villains, forcing us to lose our ways. I refuse to accept such Taoist practice. Heaven and Earth above, be a witness as I stand for righteousness. ”From now on, the Seven Virtues Sect has broken off from this corrupt sect. We will return to our roots, practicing genuine Taoism that pursues the sublimation of the self and the harmony of man and nature.”

As soon as this man uttered these words, the enormous Qi Luck Dragon of Taoism manifested between Heaven and Earth before roaring in pain. A small chunk of its body was divided before turning into a smaller dragon.

Supreme Unity looked at this happening. He still looked cold and indifferent, but the small spatial fluctuations around him were indicative of his actual mood. He wanted to stop this from happening, but he sensed something locking in his every move.

So, without much of a choice, he watched as more and more people or sects separated from Taoism.

”Over 65%,” Maitreya commented. ”It seems that more people despise your reign than I anticipated.”
