Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei's punch contained a penetrating strength that targeted Di Tian's injury with the intention of worsening his condition. Di Tian activated his first line of defense–his skin.

His plan was to delay enough time to prepare a few more defenses. Unfortunately, his reaction was not as swift as the attack. So, he could barely control his muscles to reduce the force.

Regardless, the sword wound on his rib cages and internal organs suddenly worsened.

'Why is his Knotting Technique so persistent? The rate at which I weaken it is abysmal,' thought Di Tian, who was always secretly trying to remove his opponent's Pseudo Dao Will.

'This is not the right approach for this battle. I need to get rid of my current state–no matter the price.'

Di Tian knew only one way to deal with the annoying Dao Will–abandon his current body and regenerate a new one.

'However, if I do that, my stamina will drastically decrease.'

The Samsara Lord did not hesitate for much longer as he knew he would suffer even more if he continued fighting in such a terrible state. As for the issue of his stamina? He only needed to ensure this battle was short by exponentially increasing the intensity of his attacks.

Bang!

A terrifying force weighed on Wang Wei; it was like it was carrying the weight of the entire Myriad Emperor World on his back.

Is this the power of the Dragon-Elephant?' According to legend, the Dragon-Elephant's body was so powerful that it naturally released a pressure that could suppress Heaven and Earth.

Wang Wei heard the sound of his bone croaking; he then briefly thought about how this pressure was the best tempering method for his body. Sadly, this was not the time and place for such a thing.

Then, he activated his Skin's Divine Ability and released an Innate Force Field that alienated him from the effect of the pressure. However, the suppressing force was Di Tian's bait or misdirection.

A large gate manifested behind him; it was obvious that he was prepared for something. So, Wang Wei did not let him succeed and immediately punched the gate into oblivion.

Alas, this was another misdirection.

While the gate bought him enough time, he opened his mouth to spew a red flame that rapidly turned into a phoenix. Then, Di Tian's body suddenly aged into an old man before becoming as skinny as a mummy.

Finally, the phoenix turned into another version of himself–albeit slightly paler.

'Turning the Chaos Flame into the Phoenix's Flame of Rebirth,' analyzed Wang Wei. 'That's the most efficient way to deal with my Knotting Technique. However, time is now in my favor.'

He rushed toward his opponent; the surrounding space twisted before leaving permanent burn scars forever engraved in the fabric of space-time itself.

By the time he arrived, Di Tian felt every piece of flesh in his body was withering due to the intense heat.

'What kind of flaming ability is this?' he thought with great concentration. With his defense, how could any flame have such an effect? Furthermore, it was a flame he did not recognize.

'No, it's not a flame; he's controlling the internal heat of his body and releasing it outside.'

Bang!

He blocked the upcoming fist, but he could hear the sound of his sizzling flesh. He glanced at his arm with a trace of surprise. His Skin Divine Ability is to drastically reduce the damage that anything that comes in contact with his skin can do.

Yet, he saw a significant burning mark on his arm. Moreover, it was not the end. Di Tian could feel the surroundings were different; it was like he was deep inside a sona, volcano, or deep in a planet's core.

The heat was so intense that he could feel his skin dehydrating, his muscles shrinking, his bones melting, and his organs failing.

Given how potent Di Tian's fleshly body was, this reaction would shock anyone who knew. After all, at his level, he should be immune to all flames, And yet, the temperature of Wang Wei's body did such damage to him.

Di Tian hurriedly controlled his kidney so that he fused Water Material when refining them. With the blessing of the Water Element, he countered the effect of the heat.

Alas, his tactic soon proved to be a mistake.

Wang Wei predicted his actions and immediately opened his mouth to blow. The breath came from his mighty lungs, so as soon as it hit, Di Tian's body began to freeze.

The sudden change from extreme heat to extreme cold did great damage to the Samsara Lord, affecting his skin and muscle. Furthermore, the water element inside his body reacted to the coldness of the breath, freezing his internal organs, bones, and ligaments.

Di Tian generated intense heat or flame from his heart to deal with his current situation. And in less than a nanosecond, his body should eliminate these abnormal conditions and return to its peak state.

Unfortunately, Wang Wei did not want to give him that time.

He clenched his fist, making the space tremble in the process. He gathered the strength of his muscles and bones, which had reached the level of refining Emperor Artifacts by a capable Weapon Refiner.

He punched forward with unparalleled momentum. Alas, he failed, at least, but was not as successful as he wished.

Di Tian reacted quickly. He learned from his opponent's strange battle tactic and controlled his blood–which was not affected by both the heat and the cold because of its extreme Yang Energy–to come out of his body and turn into blood spikes.

The blood spikes targeted Wang Wei's fist and his upper torso. With relative ease, they penetrated his skin and the Force Field. However, Wang Wei reacted before they reached his muscles and penetrated deeper.

Wang Wei controlled one of the trace elements that his body used to produce–iron. He boosted the iron to an unimaginable level and mutated it before reinforcing his already indestructible muscles.

Clink!

A metallic sound echoed in the void as Di Tian's blood spikes hit Wang Wei's metalized muscles.

Boom!

Wang Wei's fist did not stop because of the opponent's attack. So, with his punctured skin, he overpowered the blood spikes and punched Di Tian's face, sending him flying thousands of meters away.

[Tiger Zodiac]

The mass and density of Wang Wei's suddenly increased at an alarming rate. His size did not change, but his mass and density became a million times the observable universe back on Earth.

He became so massive and dense that he generated his own gravitational force that twisted all four quadrants of this battle.

'Not bad,' thought Wang Wei. He was disappointed with the Tiger, Snake, Horse, Goat, Rooster, Monkey, and Dog Zodiac. So, he changed their ability, creating his own unique [12 Zodiac] technique. And the ability to control his mass and density is the result of the Tiger Zodiac.

Using the massive gravitational force, Wang Wei launched himself forward. His objective is pretty simple and straightforward–smash into Di Tian with all this weight or mass.

His attack was as if he took trillion upon trillion of galaxies, or millions of Middle Thousand Worlds, and hit him all at once. By his estimation, he will do terrible damage once he hits.

Di Tian's face changed as he saw the charging bull heading toward him. His body was still fighting the force of the previous punch, so his actions were limited. Yet, something else even more terrifying was coming.

He had limited time to detect things and make a decision. So, Di Tian did not figure out Wang Wei's technique. However, his years of experience, intuition, and battle instinct told him he could not be hit.

Otherwise, he would be in an even worse situation than when he was injured.

His body suddenly became transparent, and Wang Wei's charging body passed through like he was nothing but a phantom or a mirage.

'His body became incorporeal? Is this a technique based on Real and Illusory? Truth and False?'

Wang Wei reacted swiftly. As soon as his body passed through, he abruptly stopped his momentum; it was like he ignored the concept of acceleration and inertia. His back faced Di Tian, and they were less than a few centimeters apart. Furthermore, Di Tian's body was still on the move.

Yet, Wang Wei moved his body and turned around to kick Di Tian away.

Boom!

The latter's speed of flying drastically increased. He turned into a streak of light as he flew from the Western Quadrant to the Eastern Quadrant in a matter of seconds.

'No, something did not feel right with that last kick.' thought Wang Wei. 'It reminded me of someone else–Yi Lianxang. It should be immunity to physical damage. Could this be one of the Divine abilities he acquired after refining his body parts? Or another technique I did not know?'

Wang Wei frowned as he realized something–his Oracle Mirror was not as reliable as he thought.
