Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1478  The Battle Of Time Wielders Begin

Void Battlefield:

Maitreya and Supreme Unityʼs vessels were crashing, but suddenly stopped. They simultaneously checked on the Eternal Ascension World, watching as Wang Wei flew toward Time Eater.

”It has begun,” Maitreya said with a smile. To be exact, Monk Wuzhi was the one who smiled, but his demeanor or mannerism was that of his teacher. ”What? Unwilling now that youʼre about to lose the game.”

”No one knows who will be the final winner until the end,” Seven Cauldron replied coldly.

”You have lost this game, and you know it,” Monk Wuzhi said, glaring at the cracks in Seven Cauldronʼs face. Wang Wei has done many things that he does not know whether they were useful, but they are. For example, he killed Seven Cauldronʼs son, the First Sun, out of paranoia and to prevent Supreme Unity from having another vessel. This was the best choice he could have made.

Being a vessel is complex, especially for higher-dimensional beings like themselves. Not everyone can be a vessel. Feng Heng and Wuzhi became Maitreyaʼs vessels due to their high spiritual attainments and their deep karma with her. Supreme Unity chose Seven Cauldron because she was his descendant and was created by him.

However, after pushing her body and soul to the limit, Seven Cauldron had reached her limit; she could no longer sustain Supreme Unityʼs essence. Normally, the First Sun would have been his backup, just like Monk Wuzhi was for Maitreya, but Wang Wei had the latter assassinated, leaving Supreme Unity with no choice but to try his best to preserve Seven Cauldron for as long as possible.

Seven Cauldron stared at him without uttering another word. However, Monk Wuzhi did not care. ”What a terrible fate that poor little girl has endured. All she wanted was your approval.” After knowing the connection between the two, Maitreya checked on Seven Cauldronʼs past.

Thatʼs when she learned Supreme Unity created Seven Cauldrons during his search for his transcendent path. The resulting experiment granted Seven Cauldron such a pure power of Yin-Yang that her sex was fluid, as she could change between man and woman. However, the fact that she could not control this power as a child also meant she was a failed experiment, so Supreme Unity essentially abandoned her after a few million years of observation, moving on to the next experiment.

Seven Cauldron had no direct relationship with her father until the Moon Council. Before that, she tried her best to become powerful enough to gain his approval, but sadly, after becoming a Paragon, her talent had dried up, and she made zero progress. So, when Supreme Unity called her to join the castle, she readily agreed despite knowing he probably only needed someone he could control.

Seven Cauldron thought they would gain Supreme Unityʼs acknowledgement as long as they did a good enough job at the council, but the next time they met, their father had fused with Heavenly Dao, becoming even colder and more indifferent.

”After everything, her fate is to be used by you before being discarded. In the end, the poor lad could not escape the Sea of Suffering known as this world,” Monk Wuzhi sighed.

”Are you done?” Seven Cauldron asked coldly.

”Yes, and itʼs time to end this.” Maitreya knew she had made a mistake in how she handled everything. However, a small part of her is not sorry for the decision she made. The sense of dread she felt after realizing that Time Eater would bring catastrophe to the world is something she would never forgive. The only reason she regrets her decision to put all her focus into searching the Infinite Trichiliocosm is that she failed to find the source of that danger.

Regardless of how she felt about that decision or the consequences, Maitreya knew she had to focus and ensure she made no mistakes from now on. So, she glanced at Seven Cauldron — no, Supreme Unity — and rushed in. She had one goal: to force this vessel to its end. Supreme Unity knew what fate awaited this vessel and tried to turn the situation, but it was useless. Even his desperate attempt to take Maitreyaʼs vessel with him failed.

As Maitreya watched, Seven Cauldronʼs body disappeared, followed by her soul and [Existence]. She sighed in relief. Then, a look of grief flashed in her eyes: ”Iʼm sorry, disciple, but I must also sacrifice you.” Her only objective for preserving the vessel was to help Wang Wei with his plan to destroy the lock.

…

Wang Wei arrived before the seal. He saluted the guards before looking at the enormous creature before him. Two enormous eyes opened, glancing at him.

”So, it has finally come to this,” Time Eater said. His body slowly reduced in size as he transformed into his human shape.

”It appears so,” Wang Wei nodded.

”A battle to determine the fate of the world, huh? Iʼm not the kind of person who chases after excitement, but I must say, this is quite exciting,” Time Eater chuckled. The amusement on his face strengthened his calmness and confidence.

”We can all use a little theatric in our life, once in a while,” Wang Wei replied.

”True. So, what are you waiting for?”

”I know this is pointless, but I must try. After all, I consider myself a man of words before actions,” Wang Wei stated. ”Is it too late to ask you to stop all this nonsense. There is still a chance you can save your life.”

”Confident, arenʼt you?” Time Eater smiled. ”Unfortunately, I know I wonʼt lose.”

”Are you in too deep? Tell me what you did, and maybe there is a way out.”

”Whatʼs with all this talking? Letʼs get this fight started.”

Wang Wei frowned. ”Alright, how about a different approach? Letʼs make a wager. If I win this fight, you tell me what you did.”

”Youʼre an expert at fishing for information,” Time Eater laughed. ”Unfortunately, your methods are useless to me.”

”Is that so?” Wang Wei sighed. Communication was useless, so that only left fighting to resolve this situation. Wang Wei slowly flew into the seal, facing Time Eater directly. The two titans released their aura, and the clash sent shockwaves and energy waves in the shape of lightning.

ʼHis [Existence] is foggy,ʼ Wang Wei thought, instantly raising his alert to the highest level. Time Eater was only a regular Paragon with an Eight Heaven Cultivation, so how come he has the technique to hide his [Existence]? ʼNo, thatʼs not even the crux of the problem,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. ʼMaitreya or Supreme Unity should be able to observe his [Existence], so why was no one suspicious of him then?ʼ Supreme Unity would never have trusted someone he could not see through to rule the Moon Council, even more so for Maitreya. ʼThe only explanation is that whatever disguise he used before could not be kept for whatever reason. The seal should not have this effect, so what did this bastard do?ʼ

”Whose pawn are you?” Wang Wei suddenly asked. ”The Genesis Age creatures? The Chaos Demon Gods? People from the Lost Age? The failed transcendents of the old ages? Or something else?”

”What nonsense are you talking about? I thought the talking had ended,” Time Eater sneered. He did not wait for Wang Wei to continue speaking and went on the offensive. Time Eater teleported before Wang Wei and punched him. Wang Wei felt a tremendous pressure and he evaded.

ʼElder Fiendgod Ten Heaven — he hid deeply,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. He used a technique to boost his fleshly body strength before clashing directly with Time Eater.

”I am so envious,” Time Eater said. ”I searched everywhere for the Mortalhood Trialʼs token, or any token to these rare trials in Primordial Chaos, but Iʼve found nothing. Do you know how hard it is to thrive in the world when destiny is against you?”

Their clashes opened the Earth, tore the sky apart, destroyed the environment, and crushed all signs of civilization. Luckily, Time Eaterʼs seal removed all the inhabitants living in his Domain to prevent him from using them to escape. Without any life to worry about and the seal isolated their battle to one area, these two fought without restraints.

”What happened to no more talk,” Wang Wei asked.

”I canʼt help it. Iʼve held so much in for so long, and now that everything is about to come to fruition, I canʼt help but release some of the pressure,” Time Eater replied. ”Donʼt worry, Iʼm still in control. I wonʼt release any useful information.”

Wang Wei sneered to himself. Unless they have personal and deep experience, most people, even extremely intelligent ones, cannot fathom the true horror of a Dao Overlord. What people perceive as useless information can turn into the most profound mysteries or secrets in the hands of a Dao Overlord. So, if Time Eater wanted to talk, he would not stop him.
