Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel



With his keen senses, Wang Wei senses multiple terrible approaches to this location.

"How could this be?" he muttered since he did not expect such a terrible response from capturing the White Shadow Cat.

"Boy, you're smart enough to understand that not everything is as it seemed on the surface," suddenly said the old drunkard before taking a large sip from his gourd. Then, he stood up before disappearing from everyone's eyes.

Wang Wei was not stupid, so he took time to ponder the meaning behind these words. So, a few seconds later, his face became ugly to look at.

'The Supreme Outlaw Trial,' he thought, thinking about an odd conversation he had a few hundred years ago. Many people talked to him about the trial, leaving hints and clues for him to find the truth.

After following them, he learned the truth. But not long afterward, he was summoned by one of the Supreme Leaders and informed that Heavenly Dao gave him a pass so he did not have to undergo the trial.

So, Wang Wei focused on his Creation Dao, trying to create the perfect life form between Heaven and Earth. However, soon afterward, the Supreme Leader summoned him again and told him to stop his work; otherwise, he would suffer the consequences.

Such a warning was the only one, so the stubborn Wang Wei ignored it and continued his work. However, after taking this moment to ponder on the situation, he realized many of the odd and convoluted conversations he had with different people were their attempts to warn him of this impending catastrophe.

Wang Wei raised his head to look at the floating formation before him. He stared at the White Shadow Cat and immediately knew it was the catalyst for his catastrophe.

'This would explain the Fiendeye Emperor's look; he knew this was coming.'

Wang Wei began to walk back and forth, trying to prevent panic from overwhelming his mind.

'Calm down, calm down, calm down,' he repeated in his mind. 'Since it's a trial, there must be a way to pass.'

Although he convinced himself of these words, his mind drew blank as he tried to plan a strategy for this situation. Going to fight was of the question since he could sense the terrifying aura of the people outside.

He identified the aura of at least 4 Innate Demon Gods comparable to Eternal Emperors and countless other powerhouses. Meanwhile, on his side, there were only Supreme Leaders.

"Husband, what is going on?" asked Wu Hong, her voice trembling slightly; she had never seen her husband undergo so many emotions in such a short time.

Wang Wei opened his mouth to say something, but no word emanated from his mouth.

"You don't have to worry; nothing will happen–I promise," he reassured.

"Husband, if you tell me what's happening, maybe I can help," said Wu Hong in a gentle voice.

The hesitation in Wang Wei's eyes deepened. His creation was the perfect creature. So, it was the pinnacle of humanity regarding look, talent, and intelligence. As such, she might have a good way to get out of this situation.

However, Wang Wei shook his head. Firstly, he did not want to worry her. Secondly, he felt she was not yet ready to deal with such a situation.

"Don't worry. If I need your help, I will ask," replied Wang Wei as he gently caressed her back.

Wu Hong wanted to say something. But in the end, she only sighed after seeing the look in her husband's eyes. 

"By the way, are any of the children here?" asked Wang Wei, his face oozing with tension and worry.

"No, you forbade them from participating in this operation."

"That's good," he muttered softly. If he cannot survive this situation, he will feel better knowing none of his children were to go with him or see his demise.

Wang Wei then began to walk back and forth; this is a habit he has picked up when thinking intently about a problem.

Bang!

The entire compound shook, waking him up from his concentration. He could feel more aura outside, and with each passing second, the looming danger he felt intensified.

Wang Wei exhaled and took a deep breath, trying to concentrate; he knew worrying about the outside would not do him any good. Unfortunately, he found it very difficult to concentrate.

'Damn it, why couldn't I be more powerful?' He was only in the Law Body Realm. Although his current strength was on par with Immortal Venerable 3-Leaf, his main focus was not on battle but on creation.

The Heaven Will Battle was approaching soon, so he had planned to retreat in a Time Formation to make up for his lack of battle methods.

Wang Wei raised his hand to emanate a pink and purple color light. And from that light, he created a jade as white as snow. Without hesitation, he hung the jade on his side, and it immediately released a cold aura that made his mind peaceful and without any distraction.

'The effect of this Origin Ice Jade is better than I anticipated,' thought Wang Wei before waving his hand to create a large tablet. However, the tablet immediately began to fade as soon as it appeared.

'I need to hurry. With this Enlightenment Tablet, my wisdom, intelligence, and comprehension will reach another level. Maybe, I can find a solution.'

Wang Wei sat before the tablet and closed his eyes. A mysterious aura emanated from his body. However, less than five minutes later, the door disappeared, and he opened his eyes.

However, Wang Wei could not control his aura, destroying the tiles on the floor. Furthermore, his eyes were bloodshot.

"No, there must be another way," he said, his voice almost reaching the point of roaring. He waved his hand to create another tablet and prepared to try again.

"There is no need to try again."

Wang Wei turned to look at his wife, his gaze a little scary.

"The only way for you to pass the trial is to kill me."

"How do you…" he paused as he remembered they were linked through their soul, karma, and even fate. So, when he is agitated and unable to control his emotions, she can peek at his mind and memories.

"Don't talk nonsense," he said in a harsh tone.

"You know it's true."

"When there is a will, there is a way," rebutted Wang Wei.

"If you don't want to kill me, then there is only one way to pass this trial–you must…"

"Shut up," he yelled. "Don't ever mention this."

Wang Wei ignored her and concentrated on the fading tablet. Meanwhile, Wu Hong looked at him with sadness.

'As long as you accept my imperfections, we can survive and live a happy life with our children. Without being perfect, wouldn't I still be me?'

She sighed softly before controlling her sadness.

Soon, a sonorous sound echoed in the room as Wang Wei woke up, punching the ground.

'So closed. I feel there is definitely a way to pass this trial.' He had a strange feeling he had passed this test before and could do it, but he was missing something. However, he soon ignored this weird feeling and concentrated.

He created his third and final tablet. The tablet was a wonder of Heaven and Earth, and his Creation Dao cannot permanently create it. And after three attempts, he had reached his limit.

Alas, the result was the same.

So, when he opened his eyes, Wang Wei had difficulty controlling his emotions and mind, even with the jade. So, he created a second one to double the dose.

After calming down, he finally looked at his wife.

"I need to get you out of here."

"You want to send me away?"

"Yes," replied Wang Wei, frighteningly calmly. "The trial involved me. So, as long as I die, everything will be fine."

"Have you thought about me? How am I going to live without you?"

Wang Wei was quiet, "I'm sure it will be hard. However, you can move on with time. The only thing I ask of you is to find someone more talented than me to continue my work."

He did not have any hope for her to revive him. With how Heavenly Dao operates, he knew he would most likely achieve true death for his transgression of pursuing immortality even after being granted a pass.

So, he only wishes to find a worthy successor.

"At this point, does that matter?"

"Besides you and the children, it's the only thing I can't let go of."

Wu Hong looked intensely at him. For the first time in her life, she felt resentment toward him, toward herself for not meeting his standard or fulfilling his desire.

"No, today, we will both die," yelled Wu Hong.

"Don't be stubborn," countered Wang Wei, his voice also raised. "You are the future of the human race. With your talent, you can lead us to victory in this war after proving the Dao.

"Plus, what about the children? Someone must look after them."

"Why does it have to be? Why can't it be you?"

Wang Wei stood up from the ground and held Wu Hong closer to his chest. He placed his forehead on hers as he whispered:

"My love, I'm begging you. Please, listen to me and leave this place."

His voice was soft while also trembling.

"Why must you do this?" asked Wu Hong, tears falling from her eyes.

"I have never ordered or demanded anything of you. So, please, listen to me and leave. Live a long and fulfilling life, cry when you feel sad, laugh on joyous occasions, smile upon remembering your fond memories, and walk far down the path of cultivation.

"Please, do this for me."

The sound of Wu Hong crying and their beating hearts echoed in this large chamber.

Bang!

The room shook again, and Wang Wei's head moved swiftly as he looked in one direction.
