Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1121 Wrap it Up

'Want to erase my past? Two can play at this game,' Xu Shi thought as she summoned a blade with the power of time.

[Time Erasing Blade]

With one swing, the River of Time vibrated, an indication of its manipulation. Chu Luo's face changed as his [Eyes of Truth] realized what his opponent was doing: she was erasing an important part of his life-she wanted to erase his participation in the Gu Xuan Trial.

He swiftly changed the target of his Causality Sword to counter her time erasure. The River of Time once again released a strange vibration as these two confronted each other in an attempt to erase each other's past.

Boom!

A terrifying power pushed Xu Shi and Chu Luo's back a few lightyears away. Their complexion turned pale as they spewed blood.

'Backlash?' they thought, and they were correct. The River of Time was annoyed by their attempt to influence the past and taught them a small lesson, telling them they were not yet worthy to play on that level. They looked at each other before going on the offensive. Xu Shi did not hesitate to use one of her most brilliant and powerful techniques: [Death of Primordial Chaos]

Primordial Chaos is the origin of all things and lives in the universe. According to the natural evolution of the Chaos Universe, it is one of the first things that came into existence. So, what will happen if it dies? Xu Shi had this question and used her Chaos and Death Subdaos to find the answer.

So, once Primordial Chaos dies, returning to a state before it existed or was created, the only thing remaining is [Nothingness]. Primordial Chaos was created from a state of nothingness; the universe's birth is a process from nothing to something, from nonexistent to existence, and from imaginary to real.

With this technique, Xu Shi managed to control a bit of the power of Nothingness, which slightly surprised Chu Luo. However, he remained calm as he watched this terrifying power, manifested as a dark gray cloud, rush toward him to reduce him to nothingness.

'It's so beautiful, yet terrifying,' he thought as he gazed at that cloud. His thought was running faster than any photons. This technique was brilliant, but he had ways to deal with it.

'I could create a Void-Chaos Converter Cauldron that transformed [Nothingness] into [Primordial Chaos]. Although I would need to be extra careful to ensure the terrifying power did not swallow my technique, it could still work. But if I did this, we would return back to where we started - an even match.'

Chu Luo frowned. His eyes told him the only way to end this battle was to use that method or spend decades or even hundreds of years fighting until someone made a mistake. He sighed.

'No need to let my ego get in the way. Anyway, once I use it, Wang Wei will have no choice but to show up.'

Chu Luo's aura suddenly increased. In less than a second, his aura suddenly increased from the peak 6-fold to 9-fold or 65% Grand Dao Source. However, this was not the end, as his strength soon climbed to 67% Grand Dao Source before stopping. His aura alone made the dark gray cloud slow down.

Xu Shi was shocked. The sudden increase in strength was not something that she expected. 'Is this...' However, before she could finish that thought or even react, Chu Luo clutched his hand, and a powerful force instantly destroyed her technique.

"Be gone," he boldly declared, creating a gargantuan palm with extreme power and speed. Everything proceeded so fast that Xu Shi had no time to react.

Bang! This attack released a terrifying shockwave throughout most of the lower dimensions. However, once the dust settled, Xu Shi was perfectly fine, and that's because of a handsome young man with silver-gray hair and eyes floating before her.

Wang Wei calmly looked at Chu Luo. No plan is perfect - even for someone like him. He knew the Commerce Hub had their hidden trump cards and had speculated what they were since his divination failed him due to them previously using the Four Symbol Mirror and the power from their headquarters. Now, he knew: it was a talisman that could provide an individual with all the powers from their headquarters.

They used the Potential Mirror to cultivate high-end Emperors that could bear the power of talisman because, unlike the ones Wang Wei could condense at will, the Commerce Hub's source of power was much harder to harness. So, if any regular Emperors used that talisman, they could die instead of becoming powerful.

Wang Wei looked in the distance as he had figured out other things now that Chu Luo showed up and the karmic strings were easier to read. The Commerce Hub did give him something to increase his strength, but it was not the Potential Mirror. That went to their real "greatest weapon."

"I knew you would show up," Chu Luo said, his eyes more profound than ever. And it seems the rumors are true."

Wang Wei focused on him, "I've lowered all my defenses, so your eyes should have told you that you have zero chance of winning against me. So, what now?"

Chu Luo was silent. He was telling the truth. Currently, his eyes were working on overdrive, trying to deduce any possibility of victory, and the result was always the same: zero. Even with its augmented power from the talisman, the result could not change.

"It doesn't matter. I just want a fair fight in which I'm not granted victory."

Wang Wei was not surprised by this response. People like Chu Luo and Ye Dafu insist on fighting him despite knowing they won't win because they do not want his existence to become a flaw or Heart Devil to their cultivation path. So, no matter how unconquerable that tall mountain that is his existence is, they will face it - even if it means death. However, Wang Wei's philosophy has always been not to fight when words are enough to deal with the problem.

"Why are you still in the lower dimension?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Luo was genuinely concerned by this sudden and odd question.

"You were there during Gu Xuan's Trial and heard about the upper dimension's situation."

"So?" Wang Wei looked at him oddly.

"What are you getting at?" asked Chu Luo, annoyed.

"The situation has detonated. A major war has already started, and people are forced to take sides. Aren't you worried about your parents? From what I heard, no one can escape from this war."

Chu Luo's face changed. "You're not lying to me to force me to leave, right?"

"What did your eyes tell you?"

Chu Luo's atmosphere became somber. He knew some information about the upper dimension' situation and was worried, but he convinced himself things were not as bad based on how the trial proceeded and the fact his parents "showed up" to help him deal with Gu Xuan. Now, he understood how wrong his assumption was.

Chu Luo no longer hesitated. He took one step to teleport back to the Emperor Dao World. He had little to no affection for his homeworld and only had a few more things to deal with; once he finished, he would immediately ascend to the upper dimension.

Chu Luo did not care about the Heavenly Emperor's Position, the benefits, or even the karma he owed to the Commerce Hub. All he cared about was his parents and how they might be in danger. So, after returning home, he used his current strength to create a few things that may help once that power left his body before ascending.

'No wonder this guy failed his Supreme Outlaw Trial. Although his intelligence might be close to that level, his ability to control and regulate his emotions was terrible,' thought Wang Wei.

"I'm sorry," said Xu Shi with a sigh. She was not apologizing for losing, but how she lost. Chu Luo timed his strength gain and attack so perfectly that she did not have the opportunity to activate Wang Wei's talisman and gain his strength.

"It's fine," nodded Wang Wei. He would not blame her as Chu Luo was a talented genius, and accidents were expected to happen when dealing with him.

"What now?"

"Now, it's time to wrap things up," said Wang Wei, who made a yanking motion from the void to summon a middle-aged man dressed in all black. This man was the Black Heart Emperor - the Commerce Hub's ultimate weapon. He used the Potential Mirror to achieve a peak 6-Fold strength and a Grand Dao Foundation Pill to temporarily reach 7-fold. The next step was to use the same talisman as Chu Luo to reach the strength of 10-fold and compete with Wang Wei.

Sadly, he would not have this chance. Before this man could even activate the Grand Dao Foundation, Wang Wei annihilated him. He did not have the chance to process his surroundings, scream, or do anything else - he was gone.
