Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

As they gazed at each other, standing a few dozen meters from each other, they suddenly released their auras.

Bang!

A terrifying wind generated from their clash, sending some of the weaker geniuses in the surrounding away in the process. But this was the beginning. The clouds over the entire Lifeless Domain were divided into two. The baleful aura pushed to the corner of the Domain, making space for the clash of these two titans. Lightning and thunder flashed, showing that even the Heavens acknowledged the power of these two.

At this point in the clash, only Heaven Chosens like Fang Lijuan, Zhen Biyu, Huang Yuan, and people on that level could remain to watch this clash.

Then, on Wang Wei's side, a projection of the River of Fate manifested, making the spectators instantly feel despair because someone controlled every second of their life. On Di Tian's side, the Wheel of Samsara manifested, allowing everyone to have visions of their life from birth to path and even experience some memories from their past lives.

During this clash of aura, only a few people remained close to those two: Tong Ruobing, Huo Fenghuang, Feng Heng, Li Jun, Ao Shen, Jingwu Hua, and two others–one man and one woman.

The clash lasted for a few more seconds before another vision occurred of a golden throne situated between the two. As a result, the intensity of their aura suddenly increased.

Boom!

The standing Top Heaven Chosens were pushed away by the clash. At this point, they could not resist the confrontation with only their aura and would need to use their powers. However, doing so would imply they lost or cheated, so they just flew away.

'How could they be so strong?' thought Tong Ruobing, biting her lower lip as she flew away. 'Should I accept these people's invitation?' A while ago, a group of geniuses invited her to an allowance against Di Tian and Wang Wei. She rejected them but is now considering this as an option.

Feng Heng squinted his eyes as he flew away. Typically, he would have laid lowkey as it was his normal mode of operation. However, he also needed to show his fangs once in a while. After all, the battle is one of the best ways to temper the mind.

Of course, the main reason for his actions was because his situation was not the best in the Taiyi Profound Gate since the Deception Trial. Many of the upper echelons were suspicious of him. If it were not for another secret group inside the gate and his own power, he would have been discovered and forced to run away. As for that secret group, he could guess who it belonged to. He looked at Wang Wei's display of his might with countless thoughts flashing in his mind.

The other also flew away from the center of the clash. And each had their own thoughts regarding this battle. Meanwhile, Wang Wei and Di Tian continued their conflict. The golden throne moved back and forth between them, with one having the advantage only momentarily. Then, they suddenly stopped simultaneously, and everything returned to normal. They looked at each other for a moment before walking away.

'As expected,' thought Di Tian as he regrouped with the Di Clan. 'He found a way to make up the gap between us–most likely with the unorthodox way of Nine Extremity. Now, the question is: will he break the limit?'

By all odds, there should be no way for this to be possible. After all, Nine Pillars was someone above the Emperor Realm and spent countless epochs before discovering a unique treasure that would allow someone to reach Ten Extremity. And since this treasure does not exist in the lower dimension, there should be other ways to achieve Ten Extremity.

'As long as it's him, there is a possibility,' thought Di Tian. 'I should have gone above and beyond to kill him.'

'His aura is different,' thought Wang Wei. 'It's more ethereal and noble. Did he find a way to reach Ten Extremity? If that's the case, I cannot be as relaxed as I used to be.'

He reunited with his group before using his Divine Sense to communicate. 'He's acting outside of my expectation.'

'Who? Yu Zhou?' asked Tie Gang.

'Not him.' Yu Zhou was a disappointment. He first acted calm and collected but lost his bearing after being called a dog. Wang Wei did not know why that word was triggering for him or whether the latter's pride as someone from the upper dimension made it so easy to play with.

'I thought Di Tian would have allied with these traitors,' added Wang Wei.

'I thought the first he would do after his release would be to go on a rampage and kill all the Heaven Chosens before the battle,' commented Li Jun.

'The Sleepers are gone, so it's harder for him to assassinate anyone,' said Yan Liling.

'He could still do it himself,' added Tie Gang.

'Maybe, he's waiting for the appropriate time.'

'Maybe,' said Wang Wei.

After Di Tian reunited with his family, he looked in the direction where Yu Zhou secretly escaped with the Soul race. He experienced the mental beating Wang Wei gave that man.

'Are those the people Little Seven talked about?'

A couple of thousands of years ago, the Western Continent:

Di Tian suddenly opened his as he sensed someone inside his formation. He saw a young man smiling at him with a scar on his chin.

"Little Seven," Di Tian muttered, joy flashing in his eyes. He did not know how long since he experienced that emotion, but it appeared today. "No, I should call you Five Finger Emperor now."

"It's Five Finger Paragon. However, you can call me Little Seven."

So, you've reached such height." Di Tian reminisced about where he created Little Seven. He used the best five-element materials to create someone perfectly in harmony with Heaven and Earth. Later, he learned from history that he became the Five Finger Emperor, a Pseudo Eternal Emperor on par with Eternals who used Five Elements Sealing Dao. His trademark sealing method was a mountain with five peaks that resembled fingers, hence his Emperor Title.

Now, that young body has reached heights he cannot imagine, making Di Tian feel a little complicated. It was great to see remnants of his past and his creation that he considered like his children. Simultaneously, too much time passed, and none of them were the same.

"Why are you here? Can you free me?"

"Unfortunately, I'm dead and have little power left," replied Five Finger, who did not want to deal with a seal that had the power of Empress Wu. "I'm here to give you a few warnings."

"Warnings?"

'A few people might come to ask you for an alliance against Wang Wei. Don't do it."

"Oh, and why not?"

"These people are traitors and spies from the upper dimension." Five Fingers explained some basic knowledge about the Two Suns and Seven Moons, the closing of the lower dimension, and the meaning of the upcoming era of the Myriad Emperor World.

'Now I understand why Heavenly Dao gave him a complete Son of Era Position.'

"So, you still haven't explained why I should not ally with them?" He would work the devil itself if it could assure his victory.

Five Fingers sighed, a little frustrated on the inside despite expecting this outcome. There are factions amongst the people who participated in the Ultimate Taboo. And their factions, composed mainly of people from the Null Era, wanted their people to lead the new era instead of Qiyuan's faction. However, this was very unlikely, given Di Tian's personality and obsession.

"The era of the Seven Moons is coming to an end. And anyone associated with them will be eliminated once that happens. If you work with these people, when that day arrives, we will not be able to protect you or the revive Madam."

Di Tian frowned. He did not want to do anything to would affect his life after reviving Ning'er. If working with these people placed a target on his back, then he might be forced to hide in the lower dimension for the rest of his life. And even then, they might not be safe.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Lastly, be wary of Heavenly Dao. If you go on a killing spree of this era's Heaven Chosen, it won't ignore you anymore."

"I know."

D Tian knew that if Wang Wei did not rise, Heavenly Dao would accept him taking the throne because of his overwhelming strength. However, with the current situation, if he began to affect this Golden Age, the latter would again scheme his downfall.

"Is there anything else?"

"No," replied Five Fingers. "I wanted to help you more, but my situation is not good."

"Are you and the others alright?" Di Tian created 12 humans that he considered his children before creating Ning'er. Of the 12, five became Great Emperors, three became Primarchs, and the other four became Insurgent Dao Monarchs.

"Little 3, Little 4, and little 9 all died," said Five Finger with some sadness.

"As in complete death?"

"Yes."

Di Tian sighed as he remembered these kids. Little 3 was a Great Emperor, and Little 4 and 9 were Primarchs.

"Did they die in the war?" Although he had some knowledge before the Null Era, they were incomplete.

"Little 3 and 9 died in the war. Little 4 died in the upper dimension."

"Although I'm used to life and death, It saddens me to hear of their departure. I'll make a grave for them that I can worship."

"They would be pleased," replied Five Fingers as he began to fade. He looked at his body before cupping his hand and bowed politely: "Father, it was nice to see you again."

Di Tian smiled before nodding his head. As he watched his son disappear, he looked dazed for a few minutes before sitting down and continuing his cultivation.
