Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1154 Father and Son

Wang Chang looked around and saw nothing but green grass for as far as his eyes could see. The first thing that popped into his mind was how vast this place was, and even after stretching his divine sense to the limit, he could tell he was only seeing a fraction of this grand world. For a moment, he felt a sense of smallness, as if his life was insignificant compared to the vastness and grandness of this realm known as the Eternal Ascension World.

'The air - it's so sweet,' Wang Chang thought as he noticed the unique energy in the environment. 'The energy seems to nourish my soul and body, and it's even better at it than Innate Qi.' Wang Chang suddenly felt it might be a good idea to adapt to this energy first before his fight.

He had detected a mountain range not far from here, so he headed there. He tore the space and received a tremendous amount of resistance. 'The space is very solid. Only Immortals or those with immortal strength can naturally teleport in this realm.

Wang Chang arrived at his destination and immediately erected a few detection and protection formations to warn or prevent intruders. For the next three days, he did nothing but absorb the Qi from Heaven and Earth to cleanse his body and adapt to the environment.

'My strength has increased by 2 Infant Fiendgod Force, and my soul is four times as pure as before.' He was shocked by this change just because he decided to cultivate and adapt before the fight. He also understood why people yearned for the upper dimension. Although it's harder to cultivate the higher the realm, it's way easier in such an environment.

'Now that I have adapted, it's time to end this generational feud.' Wang Changa activated a talisman Wang Wei gave him long ago and waited.

...

Yang Guowei walked into his mansion with a somber atmosphere. He had just finished a mission, but his heart was restless, so he headed directly home without even exchanging his points for resources. He ignored the beautiful maid with an angelic voice calling for his return, heading directly to his cultivation retreat. Once alone, he activated a secret technique, teleporting himself to a secret and sealed dimension.

He looked at the chained man with a coarse black robe, long, unkempt hair, and beard with traces of white scattered between the two. The man opened his deep and cunning eyes.

"Unfilial son, have you finally come to kill me? Are you prepared to add patricide to your sins?"

"I've come to give you what may be your last chance," Yan Guowei said helplessly. "Stop serving these parasites and join our cause. Then, I may be able to save your life."

"How many times do I have to warn you to watch your tongues when you speak about these beings?"

"You fear them - I don't."

"That's because you're a fool, letting your youthful vigor and inexperience guide your actions." Nine Suns shook his head in disappointment. "I should have listened to your mother and let her stay with you in the lower dimension."

"Don't mention my mother. The only reason I didn't turn out without morals and backbone like you is because of her," Yang Guowei snapped.

Nine Suns's eyes narrowed, "She was a weak woman, and she turned you into a weak child and an utter disappointment."

"Weak woman? Would you fear a weak woman?"

"I fear no one."

"Then, why did you purposely allow her to destroy her foundation when given birth to me? Wasn't it to destroy her talent and future potential?" Yang Guowei's eyes turned red. Mortals cannot easily give birth to Immortal Children, especially when one of the parents is a Great Emperor. As such, plenty of nourishing resources are required for the mortal mother in those situations to ensure she gives birth without any problems.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Do you think I wouldn't have found out? You found her and thought of cultivating her as one of your generals. Then, you noticed her talent - especially when she gave you the brilliant tactic to win your Heaven Will Battle."

Yang Guowei's eyes were red with hatred.

"I bet you thought of killing her as soon as she gave you the plan. However, your twisted mind thought it would be better to use her mind for yourself and turn her into your woman. However, her cultivation talent still irked you, so you decided to find an opportunity to destroy it."

"Shut up, boy!" Emperor Nine Suns' body released terrifying killing intent, turning the room red. "Don't speak on matters you have no idea about."

"You have no idea how much I despise you."

Nine Sun's body trembled when he saw his son's eyes. They were so full of disgust and revulsion that he felt pain in his heart.

"The sad part is your pathetic self did not even notice she saw through your actions and true self but still loved you." Yang Guowei gnashed his teeth. He took a moment to take a deep breath before exhaling. "Despite everything, she made me promise not to hate you. To honor her promise, I will try this last time to save you. Are you going to change sides or not?"

Nine Suns was quiet for a few seconds, "Stop wasting your time."

Yang Guowei had to exude extreme focus to prevent his anger from getting out of control. "I don't get it. As cunning as you are, couldn't you tell that these parasites were a sinking ship? They have lived in borrowed time ever since they usurped this world's power. All signs show that destiny is not on their side. So, why are you so stubborn?"

"You talk too much. If you are going to kill me, do it fast. I no longer want to waste my breath on you," Nine Suns scoffed.

"You!" Yang Guowei took one step forward, intending to punch him in his smug face. But, he suddenly stopped himself:

"Wait. With my mother's wisdom, how could she not see such an obvious truth? Even if she went along with your decision initially, she should have warned you by now." A look of realization dawned on Yang Guowei's face.

"What did you do? Where is my mother?"

"Hahaha," Nine Suns laughed maniacally. "You want to know? Release me, and I'll tell you."

"Bastard!" Yang Guowei rushed to him and started wailing at him. Nine Suns's power and fleshly body strength were sealed, so the beating soon turned bloody, but that was just the beginning. Yang Guowei activated his [Color of Strength] technique to increase his stats and continued beating his father.

"Where is my mother, you bastard!" He did not care how bloody his fists were, how many teeth he broke from that bastard, or how much blood was oozing out of his face - he continued his relentless wailing while screaming for his mother's whereabouts. At some points, one has to wonder whether this beating was truly for information or whether Yang Guowei was releasing some bottled-up emotions.

"Hahaha, you unfilial son. Doing this won't change anything," Nine Suns replied despite his terrible state. "Only by releasing me will you have a chance of knowing the truth."

After thirty minutes, Yang Guowei's red eyes cleared, and he saw the terrible shape his father was with a sunken skull and deformed face. However, he did not care as such a simple injury would never kill an immortal - even with its power sealed.

[Color of the Soul]

[Color of the Moon]

[Color of Yin]

Three different shades of blue light balls appeared around Yang Guowei before entering his body. Then, without hesitation, he used his Divine Sense to invade his father's Sea of Consciousness. Since the bastard refused to talk, he would get the information by forcibly searching his soul.

Boom!

A powerful force sent Yang Guowei flying away. He coughed a mouthful of blood as he landed. He watched in shock as a black phoenix phantom rushed out of his father's Sea of Consciousness and circled around him before returning to its original location.

"A seal?"

"Do you think the Undead Phoenix Temple would not protect my mind? How stupid and naive." Nine Suns sneered. "As I said, only by releasing me can you get the information you want."

Yang Guowei slowly stood up while using a healing technique. As he was about to try something else, he sensed the notification from a talisman, and his brow immediately furrowed after checking. He pondered briefly before healing his father, returning him to his peak state.

"What's this? Want to have another go? It's alright, but you can only dream about getting that information from my mouth."

"Your fate is no longer mine to decide."

"What do you mean?"

"An old friend of yours wants to see you," Yang Guowei said calmly. "And if there is someone who can get the information from your mind, it should be him."

He did not hesitate to activate the talisman Wang Wei gave him. A portal opened before him, and Wang Chang walked out.
