Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 665

671 Yi Lianchang


“Take the troops to go as far as possible,” ordered w.a.n.g Wei with a severe tone before flying in the southwest direction before landing. He saw Yi Lianchang carrying one soldier. After noticing him, the latter stopped before throwing the soldier away.


w.a.n.g Wei observed Yi Lianchang closer than before and quickly realized the eerie atmosphere around the latter was more intense than before. Furthermore, he even felt a sense of dread that danger, or to be precise, death, loomed over him.


“You’re here for me?” he asked.


“Of course,” replied Yi Lianchang, licking his lips.


“Interesting, treating me as prey,” commented w.a.n.g Wei. “I hope you’re not all bark and no bite.”


“You’ll know.”


Bang!


w.a.n.g Wei instantly appeared before him and punched him, exploding his body and sending dark green blood flying in all directions. Then, he instinctively flew backward to avoid the falling blood. He looked at his hand and saw a small burning mark.


‘Corrosive blood?’


The Dark green blood stopped dropping and moved as if they had a Will of their own. They condensed into a shape, but it was not a human form. It was a giant squid fifty meters tall with more than a hundred tentacles.


Then, something occurred that made w.a.n.g Wei squint his eyes. Numerous eyes suddenly appeared all over the squid’s body, giving it a horror-like appearance. Even the aura surrounding him became eerie or bizarre.


‘It couldn’t it be?’ He did not want to acknowledge what he was thinking.


[Eyes of Terror]


All Yi Lianchang’s eyes shone brightly as they gazed at w.a.n.g Wei, who immediately felt a weird power invading his soul, trying to affect his state of mind or insanity, to be precise.


‘It is.’ He thought before manifesting his Dharma Body and borrowing the power of his Incarnations, he would go all out for this battle to kill his opponent as quickly as possible.


[Destruction Cannon]


The Dharma Body opened its mouth to fire a red mean containing the Dao of Destruction; the intent was to eradicate this thing on an atomic level, not leaving a single piece of his flesh and blood intact.


[Eye of s.p.a.ce-Time]


A tunnel containing the power of s.p.a.ce-Time manifested before Yi Lianchang to transfer the attack away. Unfortunately, the destructive beam could destroy s.p.a.ce-time, so the tunnel only lasted a few seconds before the beam hit him. Oddly though, only half of the squid’s body was destroyed.


w.a.n.g Wei reacted in time and appeared above the intact half. He gathered all the power of his fleshly body and punched Yi Lianchang.


Duk!


Nothing happened, not even shockwaves from the force of his attack.


‘Immunity to blunt force? This guy is the enemy of pure True Power Dao cultivator.’ If a person only cultivated their fleshly body and relied on brute force to fight, Yi Lianchang would be a nightmare for them.


‘Immunity? We’ll see about that,’ thought w.a.n.g Wei with a sneer.


[Conceptual Punch]


Duk! Duk! Duk! Bang!


He punched the second half millions of times in less than an instant before it exploded into dust. The [12 Zodiac Technique] he acquired from Gu Xuan’s trial had a few interesting zodiacs, and the one most interesting was the [Dragon Zodiac]. w.a.n.g Wei learned a technique called [Conceptual Punch] that allowed him to use his pure physical force to attack concepts.


For example, he could punch ‘death’ or ‘creation’ with this technique. And in the case of Yi Lianchang’s case, he hit the latter’s immunity. And since he was more powerful than him, he could overwhelm him into bypa.s.sing such powerful immunity.


According to w.a.n.g Wei, this technique has a lot of potential–especially if, one day, he could use it to destroy the eternal attribute of Great Emperors and even Eternal Emperors; it would mean he could kill these ent.i.ties without the need for Dao Will.


w.a.n.g Wei’s actions were swift, decisive and happened in less than a nanosecond. However, he knew the battle was not concluded. He watched as Yi Lianchang’s body regenerated.


‘Even my Duyi Realm had no effect.’


“You should understand by now,” said Yi Lianchang. “I’m immortal. And even though I’m not as powerful as you, I can still wear you down–no matter how long it takes–before I hunt you down.”


w.a.n.g Wei ignored him before attacking again. His fist moved so fast, leaving shadows and afterimages. He left an incalculable number of holes in the latter’s body and soul.


‘My Conceptual Punch does not work for his Immortality.’


[Nightmare World]


Yi Lianchang went on the offensive by changing the surrounding into a h.e.l.lscape and manifesting countless cosmic horrors. In this place, even a 5-Root Dao Ancestor would have trouble keeping their insanity.


However, who was w.a.n.g Wei? A man whose Willpower is beyond even his comprehension. Without a change in his face, he manifested a golden light that instantly extinguished this nightmare world.


pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m Subsequently, the power of s.p.a.ce-Time flashed in his eyes. Then, he saw a young member of the Deep Squid race who got caught by an unpredictable and turbulent current and ended up deep at the bottom of the ocean. And from there, he had an encounter that changed him for his entire life.


‘I cannot change his past or fate to make it so that he never had this power.’ This was his plan to kill Yi Lianchang, but it failed. He waved his hand to cover the sky with numerous runes, which then turned into a sphere to seal the squid.


Boom! Boom! Boom!


Yi Lianchang exploded his body over and over to generate enough power to break the seal, taking full advantage of his immunity.


“Hehehe, do you want to know something interesting,” laughed Yi Lianchang. “I am not like these rats from the upper dimension. My immortality is absolute and will work during the final battle. Hehehe.”


w.a.n.g Wei created a black energy ball in his hand with the power of destruction and annihilated him once again. Then, his Dharma Body floated in the air while sitting cross-legged. It mobilized the Dao of Karma as it searched for the numerous threads connected to Yi Lianchang.


While the main body continued to annihilate Yi Lianchang to see if there was a limit or flaw to his ability, the Dharma Body finally found the thread. Unfortunately, someone or something else also discovered him.


w.a.n.g Wei found his mind in an unknown place. At first, nothing was distinguishable until he saw an enormous creature looking at him from above. It was a humanoid creature with a squid for a face, wings, and claws. He could not see everything else clearly besides the creature’s face. Immediately, he knew what he faced:


“One of the 13 Taboos, the Old Ones, the Great Dreamer, The Sleeping One, Cthulhu.”


Fear was about to overwhelm w.a.n.g Wei when his intuition told him being afraid was the last thing he needed to do. Instead, he needed to directly face this mighty being without a hint of timidity.


And that’s exactly what he did. He looked directly into Cthulhu’s eyes, ignoring the murmurs that could probably drive any Great Emperors and even Empyreans to madness.


As w.a.n.g Wei looked directly into the creature’s eyes, he began to notice things he previously did not. For example, Cthulhu had chains on its body, preventing its mobility. And the power he sensed from these chains seemed scarier than the creature itself.


After what felt like an eternity, w.a.n.g Wei’s vision ended and returned to reality. Without hesitation, he instinctively gathered his Willpower and Duyi Realm and perfectly fused them. Then, he cut the Karmic Connection between Yi Lianchang and Cthulhu.


“What the h.e.l.l is going on? Ct–” he did not say the name. He once asked Wu Hong if there were other civilizations like western magic or based on other races or ethnicity in other Chaos Worlds. And she told him they did not exist in the Chaos Universe. And Earth is probably the only place in the entire universe with races or ethnicity, making it a special place that even she did not know the secret to.


But Cthulhu is western mythology and should not exist.


‘No, that’s not important,’ thought w.a.n.g Wei as his mind began to work rapidly now that he had managed to calm down. ‘In Lovecraftian Myths, Cthulhu and the Old G.o.ds are often portrayed as creatures outside of s.p.a.ce and time. They are so powerful that they can only interact in the world through clones or incarnations.


‘What if the one I saw was just a clone of the real Cthulhu? By that logic, the real body would exist outside of the Chaos Universe; it would exist in Hongmeng. This information confirms my theory there are other Chaos Universes besides this one.’


w.a.n.g Wei’s eyes lit up as he felt this information might become crucial to him in the latter part of his cultivation. He exhaled a deep breath out.


‘Why am I drawn to all these taboos? I really hate this part about being a protagonist.’ With how much trouble he seemed to attract, w.a.n.g Wei accepted his fate as a protagonist.


“What have you done?” yelled Yi Lianchang in hysteria.
