Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After Su Ya and Lin Fan's battle ended, another challenge occurred; it was Jian Wushuang who challenged Ji Song. Unfortunately, the latter declined the invitation.

"Why did you refuse my invitation?" asked the swordsman.

"Because I have a more important battle waiting for me after this." It was then that Jian Wushuang remembered the promised battle between Ji Song and Wang Wei a few decades ago. So, he said: "In that case, how about we decide the outcome of the match with one attack?"

Ji Song first grunted at the suggestion, but after seeing the determination and fierce fighting intent inside his opponent's eyes, he accepted. So, the two of them flew into the arena, in front of all the viewers.

Without wasting time, Jian Wushuang took out his sword and instantly, his calm and gentle temperament changed; he became sharp like a sword. A Supreme Sword Will manifested from his body; the sword will seem endless, boundless, infinite.

After spending more than 10 seconds gathering that Sword Will, he looked at Ji Song who was looking at him calmly, without moving an inch. Without saying another word, Jian Wushuang slashed his sword.

A large moon-shaped slash rushed straight towards Ji Song, leaving a mark on the arena that seemed to divide it into two parts.

Meanwhile, Ji Song--with a calm demeanor--raised his hand and blocked that attack with his bare hands. After the slash hit his hand, it did not explode nor was it completely destroyed, it fought against Ji Song's hand for a few seconds before it was extinguished.

Jian Wushuang looked at the slight cut in Ji Song's palm with a calm expression on his face.

'My intuition was correct. After the Third Round of the Tournament, I suddenly felt a great threat from Ji Song, meaning that he had a fortunate encounter that dramatically increased his strength. I guess that even if I use my Innate Talent and my hidden cards, I might not be his opponent.'

"Thank you for participating in my little game," said Jian Wushuang, who then flew to his own booth.

Meanwhile, Ji Song looked at the wound on his hand, as it refused to heal. With his fleshly body, a small wound like that should heal instantly. Unfortunately, the Sword Will remained in his body, impeding his regenerative ability.

Nevertheless, he did not care that much as it was only a matter of time before he was properly healed. Then, Ji Song raised his head, looked in the direction of the broadcasting formation and said: "Wang Wei, it is time for your defeat in my hand, so let's start negotiating the logistics of the battle."

A few days later, in the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, Ji Song's hand was completely healed, and he was in peak shape. He was meditating in order to be in the best shape for this match. Soon, his brother, Ji Su, entered the room. Opening his eyes, he said: "Brother, what is it?"

"I just heard from Imperial Father that you refuse to place your name in the Heavenly Dao Protection Book before your fight?"

"That's correct."

"Why? Don't you know how dangerous such a battle can be? What if something goes wrong?" asked Ji Su.

"This battle is a way for me to get rid of Wang Wei as my Heart Demon. If I go and win, knowing that I am basically immortal while my opponent is not, then how is that going to help me get rid of my Heart Demon?"

"Still…"

"You, Imperial Father, and all the people that are asking me to use this method as a form of protection, only shows that none of you have any faith in me to win this match. Do you think that your actions are helping my state of mind, right before such an important match?"

Ji Su sighed after hearing this, "You are right. I'm just a little worried, that's all."

"I understand your concerns," said Ji Song. "But all of you should have more faith in my strength and abilities. Plus, my Dao Protector will be there, so I will be fine."

Ji Su nodded his head, then he said: "The Dao Opening Sect has accepted our terms for this fight."

"That's good."

…

In the Endless Void outside of the Myriad Emperor World, two people were floating in the empty space: these two people were Yan Chen and Ji Han, the Dao Protectors of Wang Wei and Ji Song.

They each took out a black stone the size of a basketball. The stone had slight space fluctuation. Under their control, the two stones fused together, thus becoming twice its original size.

Following this, the two raised their hands and mobilized the Power of Law from their bodies and infused it into the stone. Soon, the stone started to rapidly grow; to be precise, a world slowly started to grow.

A few days later, the two True Monarchs looked at the new world in front of them with satisfaction.

"It seems that we were able to make full advantage of the Void Stone since the world grew to the size of a Middle Thousand World," said Ji Han.

"True, but it may not hold enough for their battle," replied Yan Chen.

"That's indeed a problem. In that case, let's connect this Artificial World to the Myriad Emperor World. That way, the space will be more stable and be able to heal itself. No matter what damage they do during the fight, it won't be a problem."

Agreeing with this proposition, Yan Chen helped accomplish the task. Next, they added the finishing touch to the world. After all, this newly created world was in a state of chaos.

There was no life, the entire earth was mostly lava and steam, the clouds were dark, there was no forest or mountains, and the air was not breathable.

Yan Chen wanted to leave it, given the eventual fate of this world, but Ji Han was adamant about making it livable to even mortals, although they did not place any living organism in it.

The process took them an entire month. After it was complete, they quickly finished the final step which was to place formations around this world.

…

Wang Wei opened his eyes from his meditation after receiving the news that everything was ready for the fight. He stood up and stretched his body. After making sure that he was in perfect condition, he left the room.

After saying hello to his family, he met with Yan Chen who teleported him to the location of the battle. Meanwhile, all the cultivators in the world tuned in to watch.

The Heaven Chosens--who were still at the Academy--also started watching this event. Although they were not happy after learning that they had to wait for the final result of this match before they could gain access to the Dao Tablets, it was still helpful for many of them to watch such a battle.

Whether it was to analyze it and learn something from it, or to determine the level of strength or threat of the two participants to them, it was still worth the wait.

Meanwhile, after arriving on the battlefield, Wang Wei instantly felt Ji Song's aura at the center. However, he did not immediately go to meet him. Instead, he surveyed the surrounding environment of this world.

He discovered that it was a very primitive world full of forest, mountains, rivers, oceans, and many more. He also noticed the large amount of volcanoes and the fact that the gravity of this world was abnormal. He sneered after making this discovery.

One thing that Wang Wei also noticed, or should say felt, was that this world was weird compared to the Myriad Emperor World, or even the Warring Kingdom World. It was like it was incomplete, like the Laws that governed this world were missing a few things.

After doing his investigation, he finally flew to meet Ji Song--who was waiting for him with eyes closed.

"I'm curious why you insisted on making this battle public," asked Wang Wei. "Are you becoming an attention-whore like Lin Fan?"

Opening his eyes with a calm and collected look, Ji Song replied: "Do not insult me by comparing me to the likes of him. The only reason I wanted this fight to be public was because I wanted the world to see me defeat you, just like they did in the Qi Luck Trial."

"Want to regain your lost face? Well, everyone has the right to dream whatever they wish. Did you bring it?"

"Yes," replied Ji Song as he took out a token from his space ring. "What about yours?"

Wang Wei took out a drop of deep red blood; just by appearing, the temperature of the surrounding raised a little. Soon after, the blood and the token flew in the sky before disappearing into a formation.

Wang Wei then looked at Ji Song and said: "I can tell you, old friend, today will be one of the worst days of your life." He then rushed straight towards his opponent.
