Chapter 394: Useless
Chapter 394: Useless
Wang Wei knew that it won't be long before Di Tian got real serious, so he has only a small window of time to improve his strength. He wanted to finish tempering his blood and maybe even refine the dragon blood and bones he had.
But he knew that time was not on his side, so he could only focus on tempering his blood. The first two sections of the tempering were completed, only the last part of Enlightenment was needed.
Before, Wang Wei did not have a clue about his enlightenment but now, he had the Path Seeking Stone that Wu Hong gave him. He separated some spirit particles to enter his space ring to activate the power of the stone.
Meanwhile, he focused the rest on his battle.
In his Ancient Desolat God Form, Wang Wei's power did drastically increase. Adding to that the new experience he absorbed in the pagoda–especially in the last trial, his strength reached an unprecedented height in his life.
"Suppress," said Wang Wei, activating his [Emperor's Words Are Law] ability. And as expected, the suppression power created by this ability had no effect whatsoever on Di Tian.
However, Wang Wei only wanted to buy some time, no matter how little it was.
"Limit Boost!" he said once again activating the ability, this time using it to power himself, boating his strength to the limit that his ability allowed. He then used his two fingers as a sword and slash.
[Fate Severing].
He directly targeted Di Tian's Fate Line trying to sever his fate, thus killing him and erasing him from reality. However, a black wheel suddenly appeared behind Di Tian and connected to his Fate Line, turning it dark.
After the slash touched the line, it felt that it was already severed, already dead so it did not have any effect; Di Tian basically cheated fate by faking his death.
He then looked at Wang Wei and said: "Disperse." Immediately after, the boost he received from his [Emperor's Words Are Law] was nullified. As a previous Buddhist monk, Di Tian was aware of too many of their abilities so he recognized the ability that Wang Wei used, then used a similar one to disperse it.
As felt the power leaving him and was unable to do anything, Wang Wei was calm. He immediately activated the Pseudo-Domain granted to him by his Young Emperor Title.
By now, the power reduction of the domain was no longer random but could be controlled by Wang Wei. So, he tried to remove half of Di Tian's strength to give him a chance in this fight.
In response, a Pseudo-Domain of the same origin came from Di Tian, also nullifying this attack. To him, being a Young Emperor was nothing special. He was one in his first life during the Emperor Beginning Era.
At that time, geniuses were constantly being born into the human race. And since it was a time of war, the Dao Heart of these geniuses were properly trained at a very young age, and by Great Emperors. So, being a Young Emperor was a very common thing.
So, in his first life, Di Tian awakened a Pseudo-Domain with the ability to reduce his opponent–under the Great Emperor Realm–to the same realm as him to fight.
So, unless someone could defeat him in the same realm, he was basically invincible. And after going through so many reincarnations, the number of people he encountered who could do so can be counted on one hand.
As soon as his domain was nullified, Wang Wei acted again. The small leaf that floated on his back turned into a gigantic tree that stood in the empty void. Then, all the branches of the tree turned into metals under Wang Wei's control before rushing towards Di Tian, trying to entangle him. However, the latter just glanced at the tree before it decayed and died.
Before the tree could die, it turned into a raging pink flame trying to refine Di Tian into a pill.
'The Origin Pill Flame?' thought Di Tian before blowing out loud, instantly extinguishing the flame. Then, a slight impatience flashed across his eyes. One of the reasons that he was more lenient in this battle was because of Wang Wei's soul.
Not only because of its unique shape in the form of numerous interconnected particles but also because of the quality. In his entire life, he has never seen such a high-quality soul.
Additionally, in the recent confrontations, he detected the power of Reincarnation from it, confirming that Wang Wei was also a person who reincarnated.
As such Di Tian thought that these variables might be the reason for his future failure in the Heaven Will. However, his opponent was not using these things and he could not discover any useful information.
So, he clenched his fist for a powerful attack to end everything. Previously, he used the second fist in his [Nine Samsara Fist] technique: Decay of Death.
Now, he was going to use the third: Interchangeable Life and Death.
As Wang Wei watched the punch coming toward him, he found himself incapable of moving as if the space around was blocked, meaning this punch was inescapable.
And as it approached him, he could feel that the concept of "Life" that existed inside his very essence was rapidly being changed into "Death". The process was beautiful as it also embodied the concept of Yin and Yang.
However, he also knew that once the process was finished, that would be it for him, his death–both his body and soul.
As death rapidly approached him, as he felt helpless while unable to move, time seemed to be going extremely slow for him as he knew that he had a very minuscule amount of time to save his life.
From his mind, he knew that he only had to rely on one thing: the Path Seeking Stone.
A few seconds ago, while still in battle, he began to activate the power of the stone to understand his path forward. After the spirit particle did his job, it began to think.
"What should I become enlightened on? Eternal? Inextinguishable? Immortal? Undying? All of these are various options but not my way forward. What I need is something unique to me.
"So, what can rival these concepts? What can make my body indestructible? Should I ponder the concept of indestructible itself? The purpose of this part of blood refining is to imbue the body with a powerful concept that will make it impossible to be killed, to be destroyed.
"In essence, ensure that it could survive any situation. In this universe full of cultivators that control different concepts of reality, there are way too many ways for them to destroy something.
"It's not impossible for someone to find a way to destroy eternity, to erase something inextinguishable, or to annihilate some undying existence. So, what can replace these concepts…
"Nothingness. If my body was made of nothingness, then how could someone or something destroy it? The very concept of nothingness implies non-existence, a state of absolute incorporeal, of emptiness, of what is not…"
As the stone guided Wang Wei to his enlightenment, a sublimation took place that started from his blood before rushing throughout his body. And the moment it was finished, Wang Wei knew that he had entered another realm in his path of body refining.
Unfortunately, it did not change his deathly situation that much–at least not immediately. In the nanoseconds that it took him to finish his understanding and undergo his transformation, Wang Wei also calculated another plan to save his life.
And this plan was similar to the previous one he used. Right before the punch hit him, he controlled the bone spikes on his back to squeeze out a drop of blood and shoot it out with tremendous force from his body.
Once that punch hit him, there was no major explosion or anything else for that matter. With a calm look on his face, Wang Wei closed his eyes as if he had passed away from a natural cause.
His body was perfectly intact but all the parts stopped functioning like a dead person. Even his soul also dispersed as normal people do after death.
Just like, he was dead. This was the horror of this technique, controlling life and death with a single touch. And with how powerful Di Tian is, how many people can resist such an attack.
With a calm look on his face, Di Tian looked at the other Wang Wei that was a few thousand kilometers from him.
"Blood Rebirth?" he muttered. With that single drop of blood, he was able to instantly recreate his body and soul and revive himself. After saying these words, he focused on Wang Wei's fleshly body as he could feel that the concept that the latter used for his enlightenment might be unique and powerful.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei had a look of fear on his face as he felt his new body, and it was not because of that punch that almost killed him. It was because of something that happened during the enlightenment process.
