Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1481  Push To The Limit

Time Eater snapped his finger to manifest chains, but this time, his target was not Wang Wei but the Time Wraith. The creature gave him the dirtiest look, its facial expression indicating Time Eater was committing an act of blasphemy on par with Wang Wei. However, Time Eater ignored him and continued his actions.

The Time Wraith struggled, but it was useless. Wang Wei ordered his White and Black Impermanence to interfere but Time Eater used his Grandmist Wheel to create layers of universe as blockage. Everywhere the impermanence passed, these universes died, but it was still useless as Time Eater achieved his objective.

The Time Wraith turned into a small gem embedded into his forehead. Time Eaterʼs aura became more ancient, primordial, and noble. His connection to the River of Time had reached the highest level. ʼHis strength is reaching the limit of Peak Paragon,ʼ Wang Wei thought; he knew he could not be outdone, so he also started artificially boosting his strength.

He first fused the White and Black Impermanence. In many of their iterations, these two are a single individual, so the concept of unity was already built into the technique that created them. Then, Wang Wei summoned his Earth Emperor Crown before putting on the new White and Black Impermanence.

ʼLetʼs call this [False Yama King],ʼ Wang Wei thought as he swallowed this artificially created Yama King. His aura also changed, becoming more primordial and deadly: Wang Weiʼs connection to Samsara had increased. However, this was not the end. Since Time Eater could increase his connection to the River of Time, couldnʼt he do the same?

Without hesitation, Wang Wei summoned his [Future Buddha Self] before using them as a medium to access more power or [Authority] of the River of Time. ”No, you wonʼt,” Time Eater said before making a slashing sign with his fingers. A terrifying cut rushed toward the Future Buddha Self. Wang Wei teleported before the slash and summoned a Hungry Ghost to swallow it.

However, the attack suddenly became intangible by entering a parallel dimension, leaving a projection. Wang Wei reacted, trying to use his Time Dao to intercept the attack, but it was too late. The slash cut off the Future Buddha Selfʼs connection before turning into a seal that blocked Wang Weiʼs future action of synchronizing to the River of Time.

Wang Wei was angry, but this emotion lasted less than a microsecond before he controlled it. Instead, he materialized a black gate behind him, and once the thing opened, an ocean of dark-red blood rushed out. The [Asura Slaughter Ocean] contained numerous powers: death, killing, slaughter, and corruption.

Wang Wei controlled it to drown Time Eater, but the latter responded by manipulating time to return the ocean to its point of origin. However, Wang Wei showed him that two could play at this game. Before the latterʼs attack could activate, Wang Wei used his [Freedom Dao] to make the blood ”free” from any time effect.

The blood swallowed the Time Eater, but he reacted by protecting himself with the power of destiny, preventing his body or soul from being affected. However, Wang Weiʼs target was not him, but his connection to the River of Time. Although he did not want to admit it, Wang Wei knew his connection to Samsara was not as deep as Time Eater, so he chose to reduce the latterʼs.

Wang Weiʼs approach was successful. The Asura Slaughter Ocean was created from all the killing of the Asura Race throughout history, meaning it also contained the resentment and unwillingness of all these creatures killed. That resentment is the ultimate corrosive, and Wang Wei used it to corrode Time Eaterʼs connection.

ʼItʼs still too much for my taste,ʼ Wang Wei complained. Time Eater is a Time Beast and fused with a Time Wraith, meaning his affinity with Time Dao was probably on par with Wang Wei before removing his Fate Seed Status. But now, the ocean corruption has decreased Time Riverʼs affinity and connection by a few percent.

Time Eater did not focus on his loss since it was pointless. Instead, he went on the offensive. He snapped his finger, creating a strange echo—an echo of the past. Time around him appeared to rewind, with trillions of yuan epochs passing in less than a nanosecond. Once the process ended, a strange creature appeared in the world.

The creature was a pair of eyes about 20 meters tall, 3 meters wide, and linked through a strange green nerve more than 1 meter thick. The creatures glanced at Wang Wei and its eyes turned red; it appeared as if he was about to release an eye beam.

ʼIs that a Genesis Creature? No, it doesnʼt have that ancient and primordial aura that is slightly different from the Grand Dao Source,ʼ Wang Wei thought. Well, it did not matter whether it was a Genesis Lifeform or something from later on, Wang Wei treated it as such. He used a technique called [Grand Daoʼs Wrath].

At one point, Wang Wei asked himself how would the destruction of the Genesis Age come to an end? His first inspiration was from the Western Bible, with how God destroyed the world with a flood, but instead, Grand Dao would use numerous catastrophes to kill everyone. Then, he thought about it and decided that was an inefficient approach.

Grand Dao at that time should be young, simple, and direct. Wang Wei thought it would either happen instantly with no signs or a giant eye or hand would descend from Heaven and Earth and destroy everything. For this technique, Wang Wei chose a hand.

A dark hand that embodied darkness and death materialized between Heaven and Earth, heading toward Time Eater, who was forced to control his one-eyed creature to fire the beam toward the sky. The two techniques, one using death and the other destruction, clashed harder than an unstoppable object clashing with an immovable one. Wang Wei and Time Eater had to move out of the way so as not to get hurt from the shockwaves.

Wang Wei raised his hand to condense a black crystal above his palm. Time Eaterʼs face turned ugly as he realized the latter was gathering the energy released from the clash of these two techniques and condensing them for his use. So, he waved his hand to disperse the energy instead. However, Time Eater realized his opponent had the advantage because Wang Wei took the initiative and superb talent for Qi manipulation.

For a quick response, Time Eater then pushed his Destiny Blessing to the limit to instantly exile the energy into the River of Time and somewhere else in the Infinite Trichiliochosm. This move should have ended Wang Weiʼs advantage, but Time Eater saw the smirk on the latterʼs, and knew he had overlooked something.

And he was right. Wang Weiʼs use of the energy was a misdirection. His real chess move was the Source Qi Space. He did not just use the Qi inside to boost his attack. Time Eater was much older than him, and even with access to his future wifeʼs [Qi Vault], they might only be on the same level. Wang Wei, instead, used his [Qi Flower Ability] to increase his affinity and connection to the Source Qi Space, thus allowing him greater control and access to energy.

As soon as his plan succeeded, Wang Wei did not immediately attack. Instead, he rewrote the Order-Disorder of this seal:

[Order: No one can ask for foreign aid of any strength to aid them in winning or surviving this battle.

[Disorder: If they do, the person with the least amount of link to a Grand Construct will suffer Grand Daoʼs wrath. The person with the highest link to a Grand Construct will suffer Heavenly Daoʼs Wrath.]

Time Eater calmly looked at the chains of law embedded in this battle zone. He read Wang Weiʼs order, and he remained calm and composed, but only he knew what was going on internally.

Grand Constructs, also named Grand Framework, is not a major secret to Paragons, so Time Eater knows them. It is what people of their level referred to when speaking about the Grand Dao Source, the River of Fate, the River of Time, Samsara, the Source Qi Space, and Primordial Chaos. Things like Heavenly Dao, Normal, and Source Chaos Worlds, Spirit Qi between Heaven and Earth, branches of Samsara of the Rivers of Fate and Time, are considered Minor Frameworks.

ʼHeʼs linked to the Source Qi Space and Samsara, while I only have access to the River of Time,ʼ Time Eater analyzed. ʼAnd thatʼs not mentioning he should be able to access the River of Fate.ʼ Wang Weiʼs move irked him since he had eliminated Time Eaterʼs last desperate trump card.

ʼIn the end, Iʼll have no choice but to use that approach to ensure the mission is completed,ʼ Time Eater sighed to himself. He took one more glance at Wang Wei before summoning an artifact, which suddenly grew to an enormous size.

Wang Weiʼs brown immediately furrowed: ʼIs that his Proving Dao Artifact?ʼ

[AN: Tell me if you prefer Grand Construct or Grand Framework. I prefer the latter but open to changing my mind.]
