Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1151 3800 Seals

Just as he was about to leave, he sensed an aura locked on his body. His body went on high alert as he looked around. In the far distance, he saw a creature staring at him. It had a white robe, which was not really clothes but part of its body. Its face was like an ugly red grimace mask with a long red nose.

Wang Wei's body suddenly became active simply by the creature's gaze and terrifying aura. He was on high alert, ready to use his emergency tactics to face unknown and powerful enemies. However, the creature only gazed at him before dissipating.

'Was this a warning?' Wang Wei thought. 'This creature should be the Time Wraiths that Chen Tong mentioned. So, was it warning me about messing with the space-time continuum on such a grand scale?'

"Duly noted," Wang Wei muttered before leaving. It was a shame he could not use the same tactic for other things, but he expected as much. Regardless, he was satisfied with succeeding once. Things then became quiet for him as he awaited the development of the upcoming war and Wang Qi's return.

Eternal Ascension World:

"I apologize, but someone already bought our last piece of Yin-Yang Flower, and we don't have any more Infatuation Flower."

"Is that so?" Wang Qi muttered. "Do you know where I can buy one?"

"Hold on. Give me a moment to report."

Wang Qi nodded. Old Ma used to be in charge of their exchange, but it seems something happened, and he was busy. Now, he had to deal with someone new, and the latter was the kind of person who took his job too seriously, reporting every detail and ensuring he did everything by the rules.

Ten minutes later, the new liaison - a strict middle-aged man dressed in simple black clothes - returned. "There is a medium-sized loose cultivator black market not far from here. You should be able to find a Yin-Yang Love Flower, but you should be careful since we will not provide protection to you. Here is an entrance token."

Wang Qi received the token, which also included direct information transmission into his mind about how to travel to that black market exchange. He did not waste time and quickly traveled to his destination. Wang Qi was scared and paranoid since the sect master's resources were still in his hands, and he feared something would happen for him to lose it.

His destination was a place called White Line City, and as soon as Wang Qi landed outside, something occurred. He sensed three terrifying aura and immediately checked the source. Three people were confronting each other, and based on their aura, he knew it was 3 Great Emperors and 1 Immortal Sovereign.

'Based on their aura, the Emperors' cultivation should be 57%, 54%, and 52%, respectively, and the most powerful one's aura resembled that of a Pseudo-Eternal. That Immortal Sovereign has no chance,' Wang Qi analyzed while deciding what his next course of action should be. However, he immediately received a shock to his system.

The Immortal Sovereign killed two Great Emperors with one attack, and the Pseudo Eternal only survived because of a powerful pagoda that appeared above his head. Wang Qi could sense the Grand Dao Source from the pagoda, but the aura was similar to the broken artifact that caused a sensation among the sleeping ancestors.

The battle started, and it soon became apparent that the Emperor was holding strictly because of the strength of his artifact. More importantly, his body was beginning to crack as he could not bear the strength of the artifact.

'No, I can't stay here,' Wang Qi thought as the shockwave from this fight was enough to injure him, so he activated a talisman Wang Wei gave him that teleported him a great distance away.

'I finally understand why these Immortal Sovereigns always complained. The restraint on them in the lower dimension is very severe,' Wang Qi thought as he spat a mouthful of blood. He swiftly swallowed a pill and regulated his breathing.

'This world is becoming too dangerous. It's best for me to leave as quickly as possible.' The sect master told him to contact the sect only if it was a last resort, and Wang Qi decided now was the time. He found an empty mountain to make a cave and established some basic formations. Finally, he activated another talisman, and in less than five minutes, a projection appeared before him. It did not show a face - only a voice.

"Wang Qi, I'm surprised you actually contacted us."

"Elder Wang Yi," he politely saluted.

"Did something happen?"

"The sect master wants a Yin-Yang Love Flower."

"Really?" Wang Yi did not hide his surprise because Wang Wei never asked them for anything despite having access to the sect - a fact that worried some people.

"Yes."

"No problem. In fact, we have a [Superior Yin-Yang Love Flower]. I'll get it for you."

"What's the difference?" Wang Qi asked curiously.

"It's when the person who dies to grow the Infatuation Flower did not know the person they are infatuated with actually loved them back. Then, that person discovers their death place and actually sacrifices themselves to the flower, adding their own infatuation."

"Such cruelty and specificity."

"That's why it's even rarer and more potent once it's transformed."

A portal appeared before Wang Qi, sending out a black and white seed with pink lines drawn all over its body. "Thank you very much, Elder Wang Yi."

"No problem, and don't hesitate to contact us if you need something. Now that these people have disappeared, we have more room to maneuver and interfere in the general situation."

"I'll pass the news to the patriarch."

Wang Qi did not hesitate as he contacted the Queen Mother. Like before, he found himself teleported before her without even knowing how.

"What happened?"

"The sect master sent you another gift."

"He did? He really shouldn't have," Wu Hong sighed as she waved her hand to take Emperor Jia's book and swiftly scan through it.

'Hmm? This Disruptor Rune is interesting.' She had created a Disruptor Rune but the idea behind this one was completely different from hers. Her rune targeted the flaw of every Daos, while this one focused on finding a flaw in the overall system of Heaven and Earth and used that flaw as a lynchpin to disrupt the entire system.

'It should go well with my rune,' she thought, actually appreciating the gift. "Tell him thanks, and I will prepare a gift for him once he ascends."

"Hmm, excuse me."

"What is it?"

Wang Qi briefly hesitated, "Is it possible for you to write a short note for the patriarch?"

"Why?"

"Well, something happened and he was in a terrible mood. And the last time you wrote to him, he was so happy that Heaven and Earth manifested visions."

Wu Hong's brow furrowed, "What happened to him?"

"We don't know. Well, at least, I don't. All I know is there were dark clouds above the sky, and he lost so much control of his emotions that I could detect it when I met him."

"That is indeed bad." Wu Hong nodded. She knew what kind of person he was from the memories, so she understood how bad things must have been for him to lose control to this extent. So, she conjured a note and pen to write him a letter.

"Do you know if he currently wants something?"

"Hmm, nothing comes to mind. Wait, his grandfather is about to ascend for a duel before entering reincarnation. The sect master has been worried about that."

"Is that so? Tell him that I will guarantee his family's life until he enters reincarnation."

"Thank you very much, Queen Mother," Wang Qi said, bowing ninety degrees. "I know the sect master will be very happy with this news." He took the letter and left after being dismissed. Wu Hong watched him leave, deep in thought for a few minutes.

Then, she adjusted her breath before entering her Sea of Consciousness. She traveled into a deep layer of mind that was protected by too many layers and restrictions. At her destination were 3800 seals composed of complex and entangled runes, releasing unique powers. She added the Disruption Runes to one of them before admiring her masterpiece.

These runes were her life's greatest work, and with just one of them, she was confident she would defeat any Primal Paragons in the entire Chaos Universe, and there were no exceptions.

Sadly, she could not use even one of them without her soul or body collapsing. She couldn't even use a fraction of their powers.

'I knew this was the price but it's still infuriating.' Wu Hong did not regret choosing this path during the Ultimate Taboo, but she still wanted to complain.

'Regardless, as long I make up for what I'm missing, the path forward will be bright and straightforward.' She left this part of her Sea of Consciousness before disappearing from her retreat.
