Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1480  Intensifying Battle

Time Eaterʼs face changed. ʼHis attack, why is it so potent? Has he already developed a [Unique Skill]?ʼ He observed the darkness around, along with the dissipation of his attack. ʼNo, he hasnʼt reached that level yet. However, his attacks have a similar power to those of these beingsʼ descendants.ʼ

Wang Wei turned to look at him: ”You, also, cannot escape death.” A colossal scythe materialized between Heaven and Earth, descending toward Time Eater to reap him.”

”What a joke,” Time Eater sneered. ”Iʼve transcended time, let alone death.” Time Eater summoned a projection of the River of Time above him before transforming into an enormous fish with a wingspan of 30 kilometers. He flew into the river, which morphed into armor around the fish.

The scythe and fish clashed, releasing a devastating energy wave. A roar echoed between Heaven and Earth, but it was not from the fish. Instead, the voice was a combination of millions, if not billions, of voices. On the ground, numerous undead creatures materialized as a result of the death energy wave and roared at the sky before the power of time aged them into oblivion.

Boom!

Time Eaterʼs body crashed on the ground, annihilating everything it came into contact with. He transformed into his human form as the scythe disappeared. He frowned as he sensed the scar across his chest, releasing a dark and nasty aura. ʼAn almost perfect combination of Death Dao with True Will,ʼ Time Eater analyzed. ʼIn other words, a prototype of a [Will Unique Skill].ʼ A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. However, this was not the time for these emotions, not only because they had no place in the battlefield, but because Wang Weiʼs next attack was coming.

Wang Wei used the concept of death is inevitable and always arrived to teleport behind Time Eater. And just like he previously experienced overwhelming speed, Time Eater had the same experience. Wang Wei also understood his opponent had a high Battle IQ and plenty of experience, so the first thing he did was target his will to resist.

His body released a dark aura that instantly ”killed” Time Eaterʼs desire to resist. Then, Wang Wei released a second aura containing the purest and most concentrated power of death. Time Eaterʼs expression became calm and docile, almost as if he were not on the verge of death.

Luckily for him, he had prepared automatic defensive measures for an exact situation as this. [Past Self Protection]: A past version of himself that is not in mortal danger will materialize to protect the present version. [Time Substitute]: An alternate version of Time Eater will suffer the damage sustained in the attack. [Embrace of Time]: For a brief period, Time Eater becomes the darling of the River of Time, allowing him access to its infinite time energy to mold into a defensive barrier.

With all these defensive techniques, Time Eater should have survived this attack, but that was not the truth. The power of death overwhelmed everything in its path to send him to the afterlife. ʼThis technique has reached the level of a [Unique Skill],ʼ Time Eater thought before dying.

His death was calm, with his body and soul intact. There were no wounds or injuries — he just died. Meanwhile, Wang Weiʼs complexion was pale, and in a matter of seconds, he lost all his hair and his body became thinner than a mummy.

ʼThat was closed,ʼ Wang Wei thought. He sacrificed most of his lifespan to boost his attack to that level, meaning he was currently a kindling on the verge of extinction. The irony is that his current state was the best way to use Death Dao, but that would be playing with his life. Everything Wang Wei does was calculated, so he followed up by opening his mouth and swallowing Time Eaterʼs essence to replenish his.

His body slowly returned to its normal state while Time Eaterʼs dissipated. ʼAs expected, there are some profound means of control deep in his [Existence],ʼ Wang Wei thought. His reckless approach had many purposes, the primary of which was gathering more information.

ʼHis ChronoSpirit skills are superb — maybe even too good,ʼ Wang Wei thought, feeling annoyed at how complicated things would be. Time Eater was one of the keys to removing the lock, meaning his death was essential. To be precise, his Time Powers and his main body as a Time Beast are the key to Wang Weiʼs plan.

ʼI canʼt mess around anymore,” Time Eater thought. As the most powerful of the Moons, he had access to the most resources, meaning he should have the highest number of longevity resources. However, that was not the case — at least, not anymore. Time Eater had to use most of his life during his Infinite Trichiliochosm travel. And the one he just lost was the last. A golden crown with a red gem at the center manifested in Time Eaterʼs bun, instantly changing his aura. He became noble, majestic, and regal. The surroundings became brighter as if his existence was the worldʼs light. Luscious trees even appeared on the ground, replacing the world of death and rumble.

”The power of destiny,” Wang Wei frowned.

”Yes, I am now the Son of the Eternal Ascension World,” Time Eater declared in a confident, borderline arrogant line. Besides the two suns, he had the most luck and destiny during the Moon-Sun Era. If not for his ”act of betrayal,” his life would have been smooth sailing and prosperous. Previously, all this luck and destiny was wasted on Time Eater, but now, he can use them to boost all his attacks, bridging the gap with Wang Weiʼs techniques that he improved by studying Ji Chengming.

Wang Wei observed the world. As a Chosen One, the Son of an Era, he thought he could use his status to reduce Time Eaterʼs luck and destiny, but the latter left no room for him to intervene. At the moment, Time Eater has access to the majority of the worldʼs luck and destiny.

ʼNow I understand how he was able to cause a worldwide catastrophe,ʼ Wang Wei analyzed. Having access to such a quantity of the worldʼs luck and destiny meant he had a certain [Authority], which Time Eater could use to cause severe damage. It also did not help if Heavenly Dao was secretly supporting him.

Wang Wei did not hesitate to respond. He used his Life and Death Dao to create a unique mythical creature from his past: Black and White Impermanence. Samsara, or the Underworld, is a well-developed system throughout the Chaos Universe, meaning the process of leading souls to the afterlife is automatic and does not require a group of creatures for the job. The only exceptions are a few worlds with a Ghost Cultivation System; in this case, Samsara has [Ghost Messengers] to fight these souls and forcefully bring them to their judgment and subsequent afterlife. Wang Wei was inspired to create the Black and White Impermanence Technique after reading about the messengers in his future wifeʼs library.

Black and White Impermanence was a duo, one dressed in all white with pale skin, and the other in all black with a similar skin color. Under Wang Weiʼs guidance, they rushed to confront the Time Wraith. As soon as the battle started, it became apparent who had the advantage. Despite fighting two people, the Time Wraith had the overwhelming advantage, proving why it was the judge, jury, and executioner of the River of Time.

However, despite being on the losing side, Wang Wei was not discouraged as this battle inspired him. The Time Wrath was an instrumental part of the River of Time; it could be argued that it was part of its ecosystem. So, what if he could modify his Black and White Impermanence to be the same for Samsara?

Unfortunately for him, Time Eater knew his greatest asset was his learning capabilities and his adaptability, meaning he would not give him time to analyze the Time Wraith and learn from it.
