Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Wang Wei removed his gaze from Wu Hong and looked at the person who called him out in front of trillions of people. As it turns out, it was Ji Song’s doing. ’Well, this should be expected,’ thought Wang Wei to himself.

The [Heaven Chosen Selection Trial] was a very important event attended or watched by countless people. For example, there were approximately 15 billions people participating in the trial, and a few of them actually came from the Lower Realm.

More importantly, most of the cultivators in the world are currently watching this event; that alone is a few trillions people.

This is one of the reasons that many people actually wanted to participate in the trial: the opportunity for fame and glory. The opportunity to be worshipped by billions of people, the opportunity to display might and prowess to the world, to increase reputation.

In the cultivating world, reputation is not just about being famous or having a certain credibility. Reputation can transform into influence, influence will then transform into aura; aura that can be used either in battle or to intimidate the opponent. Aura that can increase chances of breaking through a cultivation bottleneck.

More importantly, reputation can increase a person Qi Luck or destiny.

Upon feeling Wan Wei’s gaze on him, Ji Song--who was now three meters tall and standing in the arena--said:

"I have waited for more than five decades to have a rematch with you, and now, you are not participating in the tournament? Are you scared to fight me again?"

His voice was loud and echoed throughout the large stadium that easily housed a few billion people, not to mention the viewers.

Wang Wei looked at him for a brief moment before saying out loud just like him: "Who are you again?"

Ji Song’s face instantly became ugly before roaring : "What do you mean by this?"

"Oh, sorry about that, I didn’t mean to be rude, but I have a disease where I can never remember someone that has been utterly decimated by me more than once," replied Wang Wei with a very nonchalant look on his face.

Meanwhile, many of the audience members gasped after hearing this, then they began to pay more attention. This is the reason that they decided to attend this kind of tournament: to watch these Heaven Chosens tear each other apart--both physically and mentally.

"Enough with your mockery," replied Ji Song. "Are you going to participate in this tournament and fight me?"

"I am more interested in why you are so interested in fighting me?"

"Isn’t it normal for people at our level to want to fight powerful opponents? Let alone me and you already have a vendetta?"

"Most scenarios would be true," replied Wang Wei calmly. "But why do I feel like these are not your real motives? Your insistence on fighting is almost like...You’re trying to prove something to yourself."

"Of course I am. I am trying to prove that a few failures does not represent anything on the Path of Emperor. As a true Heaven Chosen, I can always rise up again."

After a brief moment of silence, Wang Wei suddenly said: "I am becoming your Heart Demon, aren’t I?"

Although Ji Song’s face remained the same, his heart secretly skipped a beat as Wang Wei was right. After his second defeat during the Qi Luck Trial, it took a while to recuperate both physically and mentally. And even then, he did not fully recover.

He soon realized that Wang Wei was slowly becoming his Heat Demon, and if he did not defeat him or find another way to get rid of it, he would never be able to break through the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Are you going to fight with me or not?" said Ji Song, completely ignoring the question.

"Why should I?" replied Wang Wei. "Why should I help my enemy get over his own problem?"

Ji Song furrowed his brow as he thought for a brief moment, then a smirk appeared in his mouth.

"With your militant blood, you are not the kind of person that easily refuses a challenge for such a petty reason. Based on your previous actions and words, I can analyze that you are back to your old business: bait your enemy into doing the things you want, then hook them.

"I do not have time to waste with you, so state what you want this time in exchange for my challenge."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing Ji Song’s words, then he smiled slightly. He realized that it is true when they say that only your enemy knows you better than yourself.

"What I want is your spot to enter the Secret Realm of the Dao Tablet in exchange for a battle after the tournament."

This time however, Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to communicate with Ji Song, preventing anyone from hearing their discussions.

Ji Song had a frown on his face as he was quite surprised by this deal. He thought that Wang Wei would demand something entirely different, like his cultivation techniques or something similar. He was prepared to negotiate strongly in order to prevent himself from being taken advantage of.

After pandering for a while, he replied through Divine Sens: "No problem, but if I win this battle, I want your blood essence."

Wang Wei gave a look, as he could guess what he was thinking. Ji Song probably wanted to use this opportunity to avenge what he did to him back in the Spirit Road Trial, then also use his blood essence to increase his strength.

"Deal," replied Wang Wei out loud; he was more than confident of his strength.

Ji Song nodded, then closed his eyes to concentrate on the next tournament. Wang Wei was not his only enemy.

Although the members of the audience did not know the exact conditions for their deals, they were just excited at the prospect of these two titans fighting. As for the people of the Emperor Enlightening Academy, some of them probably guessed the deal that Ji Song made, and they turned ugly.

They have done so much to prevent him from gaining access to the Dao Tablets, and now he might still have a chance.

’Hmph, things will not end so easily,’ secretly thought Headmaster Bai Han, then he wanted to continue the opening ceremony.

However, another person came to interrupt again. This time it was the Young Sword Sage of the Sword Casting Villa, Jian Wushuang.

"Sacred Son Wang Wei, since you will not participate in this tournament, I will also like to take this opportunity to invite you to a challenge."

"Oh, from what I remember, me and you do not have any kind of grudge or vendetta," replied Wang Wei, a little surprised.

"You and I may not, but our sect does. You should be aware of what happened in the last generation between your father and my Casting Sword Villa?"

Wang Wei then understood the reason behind Jian Wushuang’ sudden challenge. In the last generation, his father was called by all cultivators as the most powerful swordsman and earned the title of Absolute Cut Sword God.

Many people--especially sword cultivators would not allow anyone to have such a title. The title of Sword God is the second highest title that a cultivator of Sword Dao can receive, second only to Sword Emperor.

On top of that, not all Great Emperors who used a Sword can claim the title of Sword Emperor; they have to prove the Dao with the Sword in order to get that title. Additionally, the Sword God title was not given to just anyone.

Some Sword Emperors did not have that title during their rise. As long as an Emperor proved the Dao with the Sword, he could earn the title of Sword Emperor.

But the Sword God has to be the best and most powerful sword cultivator of countless generations of sword cultivators that came before. They have to reach the peak of swordsmanship and go beyond it, and they have to prove that their Sword Dao is the best of all the sword cultivators in the world.

So, people did not like when the title of Sword God was placed on Wang Tian. In order to prove these people wrong, Wang Tian left the sect to travel the world and challenge all the sword cultivators.

He was unstoppable. No matter who challenged him, he would use his Supreme Dao of Absolute Cut and defeat them. In the end, the Sword Casting Villa--who is considered the Holy Place of Sword Cultivators in the Myriad Emperor Word--stepped in to stop Wang Tian.

But they also failed--even more miserably. Wang Tian traveled to the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent and fought with all the people of the villa and defeated them all on the way of the sword.

That included Jian Wushuang’s master, Jian Yi--who is the current Leader of the Sword Casting Villa.

"What most people do not know was that after your father defeated my master in the Way of the Sword, he even challenged some of the Sleeping Ancestors and won.

"Although they were way more powerful than him in terms of cultivation, when it comes to how pure his Sword Will and Dao was, no one was his match. So, today, I am issuing a challenge in order to restore their honor."
