Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Under Wang Wei's order, Li Jun, General Tie Gang, The Five Number General, and Yan Liling started to kill all the demonic beasts with all their strength. Countless attacks flew from the high walls and headed for the beasts below.

Archers got their bow ready, then shot in different volleys. Cultivators prepared their spells or origin abilities before using them. As for the weak one in the Body Refining Realm, they used special methods to combine their blood qi in order to cast spells.

On top of that, many ordinary people also helped. These people used talismans in order to fight. All they need to do is crush or tear up these talismans, then throw them to the demonic beasts and they would activate by themselves.

Powerhouses like Li Jun and Tie Gang rushed into the horde of beasts below, then unleashed a slaughter on these demonic beasts. In fact, even Dong Lifen participated in this battle.

She jumped high from the walls and landed inside the barricaded plain, then her eyes turned black. Following which, all the demonic beasts that looked at her started screaming, then they threw a mouthful of blood before lying on the ground dead.

This was her using her Dream Manifestation Soul's innate talent to create a terrifying nightmare to these beasts, so when they died in the nightmare, they also died in real life.

And just like that, Dong Lifen started her first real battle in her life. Of course, there are reasons that she was so bold. One of them is due to the fact that her master Yu Siyu came to support in the battle.

Another reason was that Wang Wei was floating in the air, overseeing the entire situation. Every time someone was in trouble of being surrounded by the demonic beasts, he would intervene and rescue them--whether it was the soldiers or inexperienced people like Dong Lifen.

Of all the people, besides Wang Wei that used his True Will ability to kill the most demonic beasts, the person with the highest body counts was actually Yan Liling.

The reason for that is because she used the Bloodline Enchanting Pill that turned these demonic beasts against each other, forcing them to kill one another in a burst of madness. Adding to the fact that these beasts had already lost their minds, the efficacy of this pill was greatly increased.

After this pill was used against the cavalry of the Barbarian Wolf Kingdom, Yan Liling thought this pill might come in handy in the future, so she refined more in her spare time. It turns out that she was right about that.

While the Great Xia was dealing with this beast tide in their own way, the same problem actually plagued the people of Great Zhou.

Inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Ji Song had an ugly look on his face. So many cities and people have died due to this sudden disaster.

Besides, unlike the Great Xia that has a powerful array that can surround the entire territory, the Great Zhou did not have this kind of method as neither Ji Song nor Ji Su were actually proficient in runes and arrays like Wang Wei.

Although many cities also had their own arrays, they could not fit perfectly into a whole like the ones in Great Xia. On top of that, the Great Zhou does not have flying constructs that allow them to send reinforcements throughout its territory.

As such, the casualties were extremely high in just a single day.

Inside the Throne Room, all the ministers and officials had an ugly look on their faces as they could not come up with a better plan besides using soldiers to fight directly with the demonic beasts.

In the end, Ji Su sighed and said, "Little Song, in this case, it is better to abandon this trial and leave this word. After all, your Qi Luck has already reached the peak of Purple-Gold."

Many officials' faces became even more ugly after hearing this, but they did not dare say anything and just lowered their heads.

Luckily for them, Ji Song shook his head in denial of his big brother' suggestion before saying, "You and I both know that absorbing the luck of the entire world can allow a Heaven Chosen to reach a Rainbow colored luck."

Ji Su remained silent after hearing this. He knew that on top of the Purple-gold luck, there is still the multicolored level. However, this level of luck is only available to Great Emperors. As a result, there is a level between the purple gold and the multicolored luck, the Rainbow level or 7 colored luck.

The ultimate winner of this trial will be able to accomplish this level, depending on how prosperous the dynasty they created is. However, even the worst of them will still have a 2 color Rainbow Luck.

After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "You can still achieve the Rainbow Qi Luck through Luck Stones."

However, Ji Song still shook his head as he knew what kind of thing the Luck Stones were. As the name implies, they are stones born between Heaven and Earth that contain absorbable luck.

However, there are downsides to these stones. For one, they are very unstable and volatile. One stone can have a 99% chance of containing luck, with 1% chance of containing negative luck or misfortune. Or 99% chance of containing misfortune, while 1% contain positive luck.

So, what happens when someone absorbs a stone that contains misfortune?

Well, all kinds of terrible things. You might be walking outside, then a meteor suddenly drops on top of you, an enemy you thought you had killed might suddenly pop up and become more powerful than you, or a sudden accident that made you have Qi Deviation during cultivation.

That's not even the worst parts of the Luck Stones. A lot of them actually contain powerful curses on them. After absorbing them, many terrible things like a cultivator's blood being instantly drained, the soul was tarnished, or unable to use one of their body parts.

There even weird curses like making a man impotent, turning people from one sex to another against their will, or constantly vomiting insects without stopping.

In general, the Luck Stones are not a good thing. What's worse is that a person's luck or destiny has no effect on the Luck Stone. So, even if a Son of Destiny were to choose a Luck Stone, he still has a high probability of being screwed over.

Because of this, there has been a profession trained to identify the probability of acquiring good Luck Stones, however, Ji Song never believed in those people as he thinks that they are nothing but scammers.

After a few seconds, Ji Su continued, "Even if you do not use the Luck Stones, our Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty can still find a Luck Condensing Artifact from an already destroyed dynasty for you to absorb."

"That way, you did not have to be affected by karma since these dynasties have long been gone in the annals of history."

However, Ji Song still remains determined in his decision, so he said, "You and I both know that acquiring a Rainbow Level of Luck through these methods are only temporary. After breaking through the Supernatural Realm, my luck would instantly return back to purple-gold."

"But, I accomplish it through this trial, the Rainbow Luck will be permanent, thus bringing me another advantage for my Path of Emperor."

JI Su sighed as he knew that his little brother was right, and he could guess the real reason that he did not want to leave the trial, so he did not continue to persuade him again. However, Ji Song looked deeply at his big brother before saying, "I know you must have a way out of this situation, so just say it."

Ji Su nodded and said, "The only solution that I can think of is to use the dynasty's luck to directly kill the majority of the demonic beasts."

"But, if we did that, the entire dynasty's luck would be consumed. Isn't that the same as letting the demonic beasts destroy it?" replied Ji Song with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, however, we can take some unorthodox measures to quickly recuperate afterwards."

"What plan do you have?"

"We can do this…" explained Ji Su.

Meanwhile, in the Great Shu Dynasty, the people there also faced the ravage of the demonic beasts. However, of all the remaining powers in this world, they faced the least casualty.

The reason for that was due to all the temples located throughout the territory. When the demonic beasts attacked, the temples activated themselves and protected the territory.

The reason for that is the fact that Taoist Temples are the nemesis of both demonic beasts and the Demon Race. Their power naturally restrains these beasts, even if they are currently mindless.

When these beasts reached near the temples, the Taoist Sages that were enshrined in the Temples suddenly manifested to either kill or seal all the demonic beasts. Fueled by the prayers of billions of people, the Taoist Sages unleashed unimaginable powers.

As such, although a few places were hit hard, but, it was nothing compared to the casualties suffered by both the Great Xia and Great Zhou.

Inside the Main Taoist Temple, Feng Heng was reviewing documents about the situation throughout the dynasty when someone came in and handed him a new piece of information.

After reading it, he muttered, "The Western Region, huh? It seems that I will have to borrow some power from my master."
