Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

1120 Rumors

Xu Shi summoned her Chaos Pot, which spewed a veil of primordial chaos to protect her. In the meantime, she dealt with the attack on her mind. She found herself in a world of her mind with nothing in sight. As she was about to try something to leave this place, she heard an alluring voice.

"Do you think he truly loves you?"

Xu Shi frowned as the voice seemed familiar.

"Do you think he has changed?"

"He has," replied Xu Shi as she mustered a terrifying power of chaos to destroy this Mind Space.

"Can you trust him while he's separated from you? Do you trust him not to find another woman?" said the enchanting voice.

"If I didn't trust him, I would not stay with him," Xu Shi declared.

"Then, you're better than me," said the voice, who finally appeared.

"A Heart Devil?" The person looked exactly like Xu Shi.

"More like a manifestation of your insecurities?"

"Insecurities? Those are bold terms," sneered Xu Shi. "What insecurities do I have?"

"Of course, it is about our Xiao Fan," said Heart Xu Shi.

"Nonsense," uttered Xu Shi calmly as she waved his hand to send a black slash with the power to wipe out titself. However, the attack passed through the other as if she were intangible.

"Why are you reacting so fiercely if I'm only talking nonsense?"

"Because your words and even your existence are an insult to me," rebutted Xu Shi. "Do you think my relationship with him defines me? Do you think I spent every waking hour thinking about my husband? Do you think my life has no meaning without him around?"

"Isn't it?" asked Heart Xu Shi with a devilish smile. Her words contained a power that was extremely alluring to the mind.

"Maybe in the past, but not now - not ever again," said Xu Shi. "I've grown. He's grown. And now, our lives are better than before. Maybe things will change, but that goes for every relationship."

Heart Xu Shi looked at her genuine self before rapidly dissipating. The real Xu Shi thought this charade had ended, but she was wrong -- a second one appeared.

"What is it this time?" She could tell that twas passing slower in this mind space than outside, but that did not change the fact that twas still passing. If she did not leave quietly, Chu Luo would break through her defense and severely injure her.

"There have been rumors that you have entered a secret relationship with Wang Wei," snicked the second Heart Xu Shi. "So, is it true? Even if it's not, you should really entertain this idea."

Xu Shi's mouth twitched. Of course, she had heard of the rumors. They were everywhere in the Dream World and one of the most talked-about things in that space. However, she knew how ridiculous these rumors were. First, she was not this kind of woman; second, this man was head over heels in love with his wife.

"Your words are an even bigger insult than the first one."

"Oh, con. You two are the most beautiful people in the lower dimension. He's the most powerful ever, and you're the most powerful woman," said Heart Xu Shi. "Now that you're close friends, I think you would be a perfect match - not to mention the alliance that could be created between your factions if you two got together."

Xu Shi exhaled deeply, not hiding her frustration: "I'm going to say this once, and only once - Wang Wei loves his wife, and he only wants her in his life. If something happened to their relationship, he would remain alone for the rest of his eternal life. And I feel the sway. In this life, I will have only one husband - and no one else."

"How boring," replied Heart Devil while smacking her lips. She disappeared, and Xu Shi opened her eyes to see that her veil of primordial chaos was almost broken.

[Horror of Primordial Chaos]

Primordial Chaos is vast, infinite, and ancient. Throughout its existence and development since the beginning of times, how many horrifying life forms have been created or grown to such a level? Too many to count. And today, Chu Luo confronted a fragment of one of those entities. He saw a pair of eyes hidden by a black-red fog, and his body trembled instinctively out of fear.

Before he could react, Chu Luo felt his mind, spirit, and unique Emperor's Soul rapidly collapsing. The very presence of this being's presence was enough to destroy him on a conceptual level. Chu Luo acted swiftly and created a universe inside his mind with countless lives before linking all their souls and Willpower to his own, allowing him to resist this attack.

Xu Shi took this opportunity to kick her opponent. She used a fleshly body divine ability - the [Weight of Primordial Chaos] - and the attack was intense, capable of annihilating worlds, the very fabric of space-time, and countless concepts.

Chu Luo made a split decision to create a piece of armor made of the strongest metal, which Primordial Chaos itself had tempered. His move was brilliant, as his armor could now block most of the primordial chaos power from his opponent. However, the sheer force behind the kick still sent him flying a few thousand kilometers.

'I understand the anomaly I sensed before,' thought Xu Shi. Your Creation Dao is no longer limited, is it?' When he countered his technique, she noticed how he did not use a weapon to use the Power of Creation but just wielded it as if it were a natural part of him. Chu Luo calmly looked at her without answering.

"You must have used Gu Xuan's Deception Dao."

Her deduction was correct. After studying the inheritance, Chu Luo worked hard to gain full power over Creation Dao. So, he refined a Deception Emperor Soul-instead of Creation-to allow himself to "deceive" Grand Dao into thinking he was a true Dao Overlord. Once that was done, Chu Luo rarely used his true Creation Dao because he knew using such a crooked path could earn him the ire of Grand Dao, leading to his death.

So, in most fights, he only used his limited Creation Dao unless it was absolutely necessary.

Xu Shi's pot spewed a fog that rapidly turned into a zither. A projection of the River of Tmaterialized behind her as she played, and a beautiful melody emanated from it. Under Xu Shi's guidance, a terrifying vibration that combines sounds or music from the past, present, and future rushed toward her opponent.

Before the vibration arrived, Chu Luo heard strange music in his mind, which hurt his spirit. He heard many different Zither players from the beginning of tuntil the last musician in the universe.

[God of Music and Vibration]

Chu Luo snapped his finger to create a God whose sole power is absolute control or mastery over music and vibrations. A large phantom of a man in all white, sitting cross-legged with a zither before him, materialized behind him. The god plucked one string to release a vibration that countered Xu Shi.

Their clash released a shockwave that could have destroyed countless Great Thousand Worlds. However, this was just the beginning. As these two masterful musicians clashed, the melodies they created reverberated from the Void Zone to the Martial Hegemony and Myriad Emperor World's world communities.

People who heard the sound had different reactions. Sfelt they heard the most murderous songs between Heaven and Earth, almost driving them to madness. Others heard the most beautiful notes in the universe, elevating their minds and spirits to a higher plane of existence. A small majority had illusions that they either saw the most beautiful woman or man in existence or saw the person they loved most in their lives. And those were just the three main reactions after hearing that song.

Xu Shi frowned as she saw how easily her technique was canceled. 'Our strength is relative to each other. So, this fight is likely to end in a draw.' She was unhappy with this news, and it was the sfor Chu Luo, who figured out the sthing. They looked at each other, and their auras clashed; they were both extremely competitive, and no one wanted to give up - especially given the result of their first fight.

Xu Shi saw this battle as an opportunity for payback, while Chu Luo felt humiliated that someone he could kill with one slap was not on the slevel as him.

Chu Luo's eyes narrowed. He had a way of ending this as swiftly as possible, but his pride would not allow him to use this method.

'I can still win,' he thought as he used one piece of information that his [Eyes of Truth] detected. A sword manifested in his hand, and it was releasing a weird aura.

[Causality Sword]

Chu Luo swung his weapon, targeting Xu Shi's past. To be precise, he wanted to wipe out one specific event in her life - the tLin Fan gave her the Dao Seed, and she inherited everything from him.
