Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1494: The Empress’ Might

Wang Wei looked at Heavenly Dao’s list. Although it was only a short period, these cultivators did their best to kill the Heaven Primarchs. Kong was the first in the list, followed by Jian Wushuang, Huo Fenghuang, Wang Fuxuan, and Lin Fan. He glanced at Kong and Lin Fan’s names in the first and fifth spots, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The sky suddenly changed as a vision covered Heaven and Earth. Then, golden merit descended from the sky. The first to be rewarded were not the people on the list, but the Sages who previously helped Wang Wei. Once these people were rewarded, those who contributed to the lock’s destruction received rewards, including the Skill Path Association and Xun Junyao.

Finally, the people on the list received their rewards. However, everyone had a strange expression on their faces. The person who contributed the most to the world’s liberation — Wang Wei — received no reward. Wang Wei remained calm in his soul form. Now that the lock had broken, he could use divination as freely as he wished, so he knew Heavenly Dao didn’t reward him because the latter had prepared something special that it wanted to reward him privately.

So, he focused on something that was occurring in the sky. Heavenly Dao was reviving Sage Lin Qi, and his Golden Body of Merit rapidly rose to the third level. The pure golden light from the sky faded, revealing the gentle elderly man with a heart of gold.

"I’m glad that fellow Daoist is back," Wang Wei said. Although he was cruel, he admitted he would feel guilty if Sage Lin Qi could not return. Such a kind soul deserves all the blessings and prosperity of the world.

"I’m also glad to return," Sage Lin Qi smiled. He once saw the future of mortals from Wang Wei’s concept of mortal civilization. However, before he could experience the growth of this idea, he had to sacrifice himself. Now that he has returned, Sage Lin Qi plans to continue his work.

"How about you, fellow Daoist? Your situation…"

"No need to be concerned," Wang Wei reassured.

"If you say — watch out."

A shadow suddenly appeared behind Wang Wei to stab him. However, he calmly teleported behind the attacker and opened his mouth to swallow the person’s body and soul. With this nourishment, he replenished all his previously consumed soul energy.

"They say birds die for food, and humans die for profit. These words have never been truer," Sage Lin Qi sighed. The poor man probably thought Wang Wei’s weakness was an opportunity for profit, but lost his life in the process.

Wang Wei shrugged. He did not blame that loose cultivator for taking the risk. After reaching the Paragon Realm as a loose cultivator, further advancement will become a hundred times more challenging, so it’s understandable to take risks when presented with an opportunity.

"It’s about to start," Wang Wei suddenly muttered as he looked in the distance. As expected, a beautiful woman with a birthmark on her chin and a bamboo on her waist materialized in the sky. Everyone who looked at her felt a sharp pain in their eyes, shocked by the sharpness of her sword will.

Yan Hai glanced at everyone before taking a deep breath and spreading her voice through every corner of the world:

"Heaven and Earth above, the world is on the verge of freeing itself from a tyrant and an era of pain and suffering. I represent the will of all the Overlords — the bearer of luck and destiny of the old era — to request the manifestation of the Human Destiny Sword."

Thirteen multicolored dragons materialized above Yan Hai’s head, representing each of the Overlords, including the Origin Seal Continent. Although Wu Hong could not be contacted, her disciples and subordinates in Limbo represented the Origin Seal Continent and gave their consent. The thirteen dragons swam around each other in the sky before roaring.

The world trembled slightly before a golden altar materialized in the sky, holding a golden sword with a dragon symbol on one side and the characters for humans on the other. The sword flew into Yan Hai’s hands, and her vision changed. She saw a world of runes, but these runes seemed to be infected by an aura.

’The Heaven Laws of the Eternal Ascension World, and that aura should be Supreme Unity’s imprints,’ Yan Hai thought. She did not hesitate to swing the sword, instantly eliminating those auras. However, the core imprint located in Heavenly Dao itself remained intact, except it was dimmer than before.

’This is the best I can do, huh?’ The sword has granted her immense power, and she could probably fight those two for an extended period. However, this was not enough to completely eliminate Supreme Unity’s influence. ’Alright, the next step.’ freewēbnoveℓ.com

Yan Hai gazed toward the Dark Truth. The power barrier preventing anything from entering or leaving the world remained. She swung her sword a second time, tearing it apart. A woman dressed in red slowly walked out of the gray fog. She embodied the words beautiful, graceful, and noble, and as soon as she appeared, she instantly stole the spotlight from Yan Hai.

"It’s your turn," Yan Hai said as the sword flew from her hands into Wu Hong’s. She caught it, and a message entered her mind. "So, that’s how it is," she muttered. The word turned into a light that entered her forehead, leaving a small jewel that accentuated her beauty. Wu Hong then looked at Wang Wei and gave him a quick smile before disappearing.

Her destination was obvious: Primordial Chaos, or to be precise, the battlefield between Maitreya and Supreme Unity. When she arrived, Maitreya had the advantage. Supreme Unity seemed distracted, trying to remove an unknown power from his palm, which cost him all the initiative.

"I’ll hold him off, but don’t try to kill him. Seal him instead," Maitreya communicated through divine sense.

"Why?"

"Although the sword temporarily raised your power to our level, the essence of your being, or your [Existence], is still lower than ours, meaning you can’t kill him. The only thing you would do is destroy his current body and soul, and give him the chance to revive somewhere else," Maitreya explained.

"I understand," Wu Hong nodded before removing the seal in her Sea of Consciousness, accessing the 3800 Primary Seals. She chose one of them, and a rune materialized in this soup of primordial chaos. She waved her hand, and the rune rushed toward Supreme Unity, who showed an expression of rage and hatred.

"So, you can feel emotions," Maitreya sighed before blocking all his escape paths. Wu Hong’s Seal Rune turned into a yellow barrier that slowly encircled him.

"That power," Supreme Unity muttered as if he had understood something. He looked at Maitreya as he understood something. The first person Maitreya went to see was Wu Hong after her transformation. He previously thought it was because of their former friendship, but now, he understood she was trying to hide that power from his sight.

"You noticed, huh?" Maitreya muttered. "Although it’s incomplete, the essence has reached our level. Her talent is truly unparalleled."

"This is not over: you know that, right?" Supreme Unity asked.

"But it is," Maitreya responded calmly and confidently. Even if he escapes this seal, the others will have caught up by the time he does, and Supreme Unity won’t be much of an issue anymore."

"We’ll see."

The barrier turned into a towering mountain. Maitreya waved her hand to put it away. "Thank you," she said to Wu Hong, but the latter seemed distracted by something.

"Is there something wrong?"

Wu Hong was about to answer when she received a communication from Wang Wei.

"Hey, love of my life, are the people in Limbo watching what just happened?"

"Who’s the love of your life? And yes, they are watching," Wu Hong responded.

"Can you still use your power?"

"Yes, why?"

"Quickly seal and remove their memories of what you just did — including my ancestors," Wang Wei said. Wu Hong frowned after hearing this.

’It’s not that I don’t trust them, but it’s better to be safe than sorry," he explained.

"It’s not that. I noticed a hidden gate in our world, and I can only use my power once, and I was planning on sealing it."

"Hidden gate? Is this what Time Eater was working on? Forget the gate and wipe these people’s memories," Wang Wei said without hesitation. "The catastrophe is inevitable, and your seal will only delay things. Your safety is a priority." Wang Wei did not trust these people to start targeting Wu Hong after seeing how capable she is, or even worse, sell the information to the catastrophe enemy to use their hands to remove a competitor.

"Tell Maitreya the gate’s location and deal with these people."

"Alright, no need to nag," Wu Hong said before casting a new seal, removing the memories from the watchers’ minds. However, her expression became severe once the act was done.

"What’s wrong?" Wang Wei asked.

"The technique failed for two people."

"Who?"

"Dugu Baitian and the Human Emperor," Wu Hong replied.

"Ying Zheng has the Jade Butterfly Pendant, which could explain it. But what’s so special about this Dugu Tianbai?"
