Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Li Jun internally shook his head as he watched the agitated Death God. When searching for information about the Death Realm, of course, the group learned that it was the largest area, but also ruled by the most powerful God.

Li Jun remembered when he was 5 or 6 years old and was going through his First Enlightnemt with children of similar age. In the first Battle Class he took, the teacher once asked what was the most important thing in a battle.

The majority of children would say things like having powerful strength, being invincible, or having an invincible heart. His big brother Wang Wei answered that having the proper strategy before any battle.

The teacher praised him but said that he was wrong. The teacher told him that the most important thing is the state of the mind. First, make sure that you are in a calm state of mind, then do whatever possible to disturb your opponent’s state of mind.

According to that teacher, any extreme emotion is detrimental to battle; as long as a person is not calm enough, they could not apply their full power. Even if a person can gain an increase in strength because of rage, it is only momentarily and would also make such an opponent have many flaws in his actions.

In that class, that teacher boldly declared that no matter what cultivation a person is–even a Great Emperor–without a calm state of mind, they cannot fully display their strength.

So, the teacher taught them how to use their words to agitate their opponent. Li Jun remembered how his big brother’s lisps twitched in disbelieve and muttered softly: "So, we’re learning on to trash talk?"

Li Jun once asked him what "trash talk" was, but he refused to answer him. It was not until they begin to cultivate and asked again that he learned. His brother then taught him a bunch of vulgar ways to insult an opponent to disrupt their state of mind.

Li Jun was shocked and swore that unless he was truly in despair and on the verge of death, these words will never come out of his mouth. After all, his mother raised him properly.

Li Jun ignored the angered Death God; with a swing of his arm, a weapon rack with 18 different weapons appeared behind him; this was his Proven Dao Artifact. Li Jun took out a blue halberd before the rack disappeared.

His aura skyrocketed as he locked on to the Death God.

"Are you ready? Today should be your last day in this world."

The Death God did not answer him but waved his hand. He mobilized the power of the Law to create a gigantic black hand, descending on Li Jun.

The sky became gloomy as the hand covered it; countless souls screaming and wailing could be seen and heard from the hand.

Boom!

The hand hit Li Jun, causing a massive energy wave in the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles long. Luckily, the formation that surrounded the realm prevented the shockwave of this attack to hit the ground.

The wind blew away the smoke in the position of Li Jun. All the people on the ground looked with bated breath. The Gods had a sneered on their faces, while both Li Jun’s Slaughter Dao Legion and Tie Gang’s Undead Legion had a calm look on their faces.

Once Li Jun’s body was revealed, there was not even a scratch on him. His head was raised in the sky, seeming to look in a certain direction.

"That’s how it is," he muttered to himself.

"How can you be perfectly fine?" asked the Death God with slightly trembled hands. Although this was not his full strength, he still used more than 70%.

Yet, his opponent was perfectly fine.

Li Jun sneered after hearing this. After his defeat at the hands of Fang Lijuan, although he benefitted from Wang Wei’s words and entered enlightenment, he was still a little lost.

He wanted to drastically increase his strength in a short time, so he wanted to find the War Talisman from the Talisman Ancestor. However, Wang Wei told him instead of relying on something so uncertain, it’s better if he trained more.

So, Wang Wei trained him. He turned Li Jun into a proper Body Refiner. Unfortunately, Li Jun did not have the talent to cultivate the [Ancient Desolate Body Refinement Scripture].

To cultivate this scripture, specific talent is required. The talent to find the Dao Rhyme or Essence of Heavenly Materials and Treasures. Wang Wei’s grandfather–despite his cultivation talent–did not have this specific talent.

As for his father, he did not want to cultivate this scripture. His path was that of a pure swordsman. And swordsmen do not need powerful bodies; they pursued the extreme of attacks.

To a swordsman, the best defense is the ultimate offense. If the swords in their hands cannot kill their opponent, they do not need to have a strong body to survive. To them, this was a shame.

Wang Wei does not believe in such extreme ideologies, so he’s not a swordsman.

Although Li Jun did not have the talent to cultivate the scripture, Wang Wei made cultivate the [Overlord Fist]. After beating him an inch to his life many times, his fleshly body became stronger.

On top of that, Wang Wei created a technique specifically for him called [Treasure Body Tempering] since other body tempering method did not suit him.

This technique was inspired by the desolate scripture. Instead of absorbing the Dao Rhyme or Essence of a material, Wang Wei created a way to absorb the material itself inside the body. By treating the body as an artifact and refining it with heavenly ores and materials.

This technique does not lose to the [Overlord Fist] or even the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] in terms of potential; it’s all based on how far Li Jun can develop it.

The only downside is that too many artifacts are required to temper each part of the body. Luckily, Li Jun is also considered a rich second-generation.

And this was not the end. Wang Wei also sealed a diluted Divine Punishment Thunder in his body to always temper his body.

Ignoring the Death God, a spear appeared in his hand while the halberd floated in the air next to him. He held it over his shoulder like a javelin, before using his all strength to throw it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five sonic booms occurred in the air as rings of clouds appeared in the spear’s path. Then, it turned into a red light before rushing straight into the sky.

All the people in the Death Realm, from the lowest of mortals to all the Gods, could hear the sound of the spear breaking the sound barrier. As they watched that red light dispersed the clouds, no, dispersing the Heavens itself, only awed was left in their hearts.

Meanwhile, the Death God’s complexion paled as he guessed the target of the spear: it was his Heavenly Abode. Once something happens to his abode, his strength would fall dramatically.

So, no matter what, the Death God has to stop the spear. He wanted to instantly teleport in front of the spear, unfortunately, the formation laid by Li Jun and the others reinforced the space of the Death Realm.

As such, it became impossible for the lower Gods to teleport, while very difficult for the Death God. Once he realized that his flying speed was faster than his teleportation, he turned into a black shadow as he rushed to the spear.

Without any hesitation, the Death God burned his divine power to increase his speed. Despite the spear’s head start, he still managed to catch with it after a few seconds.

Standing in front of it, the Death God held the spear with both hands trying to catch it. It’s unfortunate that the force behind the throw was beyond his capability, so he could not stop it.

So, the spear continued towards his destination as it pushed the Death God upward. Having no other choice, he decided to try another tactic. A black aura came from his body trying to corrode the spear using the power of his Death Law.

This tactic was soon proven futile as nothing happened. A red aura appeared on the spear to block his attempt.

Truth be told, even without that aura, the chances of the Death destroying it are slim. The spear is a Peak Heaven grade one, meaning that it was equivalent to the Void Shattering Realm cultivator who controls the power of Law.

With Li Jun’s resources, it should be easy to have a Supreme Tier Artifact. However, Proven Dao Artifacts are different from ordinary ones. It does not rely that much on materials.

For a Proven Dao Artifact to grow in grades, it has to be constantly nourished by the owner’s origin essence, spiritual power, and general strength.

After seeing that his attempt was not working, the Death God frowned. He was constantly being dragged towards his Heavenly Abode by the spear and he could not stop it.

He knew that the majority of his strength came from the Abode, and if something happened to it, he would lose the ability to control the Law.

So, the spear must be stopped no matter what.
