Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

1111 The Monkey King's Charm

After killing all those people, two potent aura rushed toward Ye Dafu, forcing him to stop. "Hmm?" muttered the Monkey, ignoring Green Wood and focusing on the second Eternal Emperor. She was a beautiful woman dressed in colorful clothes, like a rainbow, with snake eyes.

"Such a powerful and beautiful demon," said the monkey with a grin before smelling the air. "This bloodline - it should be the Nine Serpent Monarch Bloodline." A brilliant light flashed in Ye Dafu's eyes.

"This Monkey King thought no one would ever be worthy of me, but who would have thought I would find a wife in such a strange manner."

"Who are you calling your wife?" asked the Noble Serpent Empress, releasing a cold aura full of the intention to kill.

"You, of course," replied Ye Dafu. "Only someone of your bloodline is worthy of someone like me."

"Monkey, I was going to show you sleniency, given we're both demons, but I've changed my mind," said the Serpent Empress. "Now, I will tear you apart and feed you to my dogs."

"Oh, such cruelty - I love it," grinned the monkey, showing his all-white teeth. "Don't worry. I will be merciful; I'll seal you and bring you back hto be my bride. The elders should be happy I found someone to pass on my bloodline."

The Noble Serpent Empress responded with actions by activating her [Awakening], which manifested in the form of a rainbow with nine colors hanging above her head in the shape of an arch. As a result, she beceven brighter with her colorful dress. Meanwhile, Green Wood - who felt left out and secretly complained about why he was tasked with such a powerful opponent - also activated his [Awakening]. He had two wooden wings floating behind him.

"I'll provide assistance with my Wood Dao," he said.

"I don't need your help," countered the Serpent Empress as she activated two of her bloodlines: the Golden Jia Serpent, known for their mighty defense, and the Silver Void Serpent - a snake Innate Demon with immense speed due to their ability to slit through space and time. So, a golden aura enveloped her body before she disappeared from sight.

Ye Dafu casually moved his body, and a snake whip flashed past his head. A blurred creature then disappeared from his sight. A blurry figure constantly appeared around him for the next few seconds and attacked with the whip. He evaded all these attacks casually until he sensed countless tree roots coming from the distance, trying to entangle him.

He released a terrifying fldisaster to deal with the tree roots, and the Serpent Empress took this opportunity for a sneak attack. Ye Dafu blocked with his staff with a mocking smile:

"Wife, you should know what kind of bloodline I have. So, why use these useless tactics?" Others may not be able to see her once she uses her Space-TBloodline Ability, but he can even do so without opening his Heaven Eye.

"It seems you're not as useless as you look."

"Of course. I'm more than my exterior disposition-that's one of my many charms, which you will discover once you becmy wife."

"In your dream." The Serpent Empress activated her Purple Fang Serpent Bloodline, which boosted her attacks and granted her control over Poison Dao. She opened her mouth to fire a breath of purple cloud. However, Ye Dafu only giggled before using a Poison Disaster attack, breathing red clouds that overwhelmed the empress. Her fate would have been terrible without the golden aura around her and the monkey's restraint.

Meanwhile, Green Wood was having the worst tin his life in the distance. According to the five elements theory, fire suppresses wood, meaning the attack was his natural element counter. He had to summon a unique tree around him to calm the monkey's attack, and it took him a moment to succeed. Right as he was about to intervene in the fight and provide assistance, two terrifying poisons rushed toward him, and he had to use his summoned tree to block them.

His towering tree wilted in a matter of seconds due to the intense nature of the poison, so he had to use his Wood Dao to change the tree's nature to adapt to this poison.

The Noble Serpent Empress looked at this monkey hatefully. She decided to stop underestimating him and used even more power. So, she activated the Mountain Serpent Bloodline to boost her fleshy body, mainly her physical strength, followed by the Winged Serpent Bloodline, which boosted her raw speed. Finally, she activated her Rainbow-Eyed Serpent to acquire powerful visual prowess on par or close to his Three-Eyed Monkey Bloodline.

The Serpent Empress took one step and appeared behind Ye Dafu. With her new speed-based bloodline and the previous ability to slit through the very fabric of space-time, her speed reached another realm.

Boom!

She punched him with an enormous force. This was not a normal attack as her Proving Dao Artifact, which was normally a whip, had wrapped around her fist like a glove to boost physical-based attacks. The Serpent Empress immediately frowned. Her Eye Prowess detected that her speed surpassed her opponent's reaction time, but an invisible power protected him.

'This is a domain technique where Heaven and Earth love and protect him; in other words, no matter where he is, the surrounding environment will naturally protect him,' the Serpent Empress analyzed, clenching her fists and attacking. Based on her eye insight, she targeted the weak areas of this technique. However, she soon realized how pointless this attempt was, as Ye Dafu seemed aware of these weaknesses and either fixed them or moved them around.

"The Nine Serpent Monarch clan was a fierce race that should have dominated the ancient era with their ability to absorb nine other serpent bloodlines and use their powers for their own. Instead, they were wiped out early in the stages of the war. Do you know why?" asked Ye Dafu.

The Serpent Empress ignored him and activated her Elemental Serpent Bloodline, granting her control of all the elements. She released a devastating attack like a combination of a universal-size tsunami, tornado, earthquake, volcano eruption, meteor shower, thunder atoms, etc.

Ye Dafu remained calm while internally shaking his head in disapproval. All these attacks failed under the disaster category, and thus, he was immune to them.

"The humans and other Innate Demons were jealous of the potential and targeted them; they wanted to wipe them out as soon as possible. However, this was not the main fault of their downfall," explained Ye Dafu. "Their biggest problem was the slow growth time. The most talented in their clans would absorb seven Innate Demon Serpent Bloodlines, but this also meant it took way longer, even by the standard of Innate Demon Gods, to develop all these bloodlines and powers."

Boom!

Ye Dafu swung his staff, hitting the Serpent Empress so hard that her bones cracked, and she suffered internal bleeding. Although her body healed instantly afterward, she could not forget the pain as Ye Dafu hit her with a disaster of pain.

"You're lucky to have acquired seven Innate Demon Serpent Bloodlines in this modern era, but you suffer the sfate as your ancestor - you have not developed them to their full extent."

The Serpent Empress ignored him as she activated her Jade Blood Serpent bloodline to increase her healing potential and deal with this pain.

"I can help you," said Ye Dafu, not stopping his grin. "With my help and the resources from winning this war, you will have no problem developing all your bloodline."

"Stop talking nonsense," she growled.

"Am I? Do you think you're something because you've achieved a lower 4-fold?" sneered Ye Dafu. "Look at all the Eternals of the Myriad Emperor World's faction: all their strengths are around this level, but they cannot access seven potent Innate Demon Bloodlines. Why?"

The Serpent Empress suddenly paused, taking these words seriously. "Is that why you're so powerful?" She realized his strength had reached somewhere around 5-fold, but she did not know exactly.

"Me? No," replied Ye Dafu. He was not part of Wang Wei's inner circle, so today's strength was the result of his own effort and luck. However, he cannot wait to use things like the Dream World and others to further his power.

"Then, how?"

"I can only tell you I've found a way to develop bloodlines," replied Ye Dafu. After losing to Wang Wei and leaving the Deception Trial, he still left his people to acquire news. Then, once he learned how powerful these people became, a fire was lit under Ye Dafu's butt; he realized he was nothing but a phoenix amongst a group of chickens.

With this realization, he put himself through cruel training while searching for ways to improve. Ultimately, he achieved a strength of 8-Leaf before his Heaven Will Battle, and after proving the Dao, he never stopped training.

"Are you really pondering his offer?" suddenly asked Green-Wood, but the Serpent Empress ignored him. The demon race cares more about bloodline when choosing partners - not appearance or compatibility, and if there were no enemies, Ye Dafu would be a top marriage candidate.
