Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1343  Wins & Losses

Under Time Eater's control, the dragon resisted the spear's power. After a few clashes, it became apparent that the spear would eventually lose before the effect of Time Eater's sacrifice ended. Everyone looked at Wang Wei, indicating for him to make his next move. Otherwise, they should think of a solution together.

Wang Wei did not disappoint them. He pointed his fingers to condense numerous karmic lines that rushed to different points throughout the Eternal Ascension World. Emperor Kong frowned because he was the first to realize to whom these lines connected — the people from Xun Junyao's party.

'The ancients were wise when they warned not to mess with a Karma Master,' Emperor Kong complained. Cultivators with high attainment in Karma Dao are a pain to deal with. After meeting them only once, they can create a karmic connection between them. With those connections, a master can do many things — including spying, controlling, stealing, etc.

Wang Wei was only in the same room as these people, and he could form karma links between him and them. With these threads, Wang Wei summoned a projection from the River of Time of Xun Junyao's [Spear of Destiny]. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

An illusory spear slowly condensed before him, but Wang Wei soon frowned. He detected many people trying to resist, so he snorted coldly to send them a warning. Numerous people worldwide suddenly spewed a large mouthful of blood.

Wang Wei sneered as he continued his actions. If these people could activate Paragon Formations in their locations, they might be able to stop him. However, with his current strength, they would have never detected that he was borrowing their destiny if not for his being in a hurry.

He calmly looked at the spear. His original thought was to borrow these people's destiny to bless his destiny spear. However, Wang Wei's instinct told him there might be some form of interference. So, he used his Time Dao and the River of Time to achieve a similar effect.

He waved his hand, and the imaginary spear fused with the genuine one. The Qi Luck Dragon roared in agony, followed by an intense killing gaze. Wang Wei followed the source and saw Time Eater's humongous eyes. "Why don't you keep sacrificing?" he taunted. "With such a big body, you should have plenty of blood."

Time Eater quietly looked at him. 'Is he trying to trick me into weakening myself, or is this a bluff?' There is a chance that Wang Wei has no more moves, and if he pays the price, he may be able to save that Qi Luck Dragon. However, Time Eater was unsure, and more importantly, he did not want to take the risk.

'Damn it,' he cursed. 'It's been so long, and there has been such a large movement, but none of these people have come to help.' After a brief pause, Time Eater decided to accept this loss, especially since he knew things would not end so quickly. Some people wanted to save this Qi Luck Dragon more than him.

Wang Wei glanced at him before focusing on the battle. 'The other parasites did not show up, which was one of my predictions. But I also predicted that Supreme Unity would directly order them to act. It seems that Maitreya is not as useless as I thought.' Of course, this was the bare minimum he required from her. However, after recent events, Wang Wei's mindset has changed to always expect the worst from his teammate.

[Roar!]

The Dragon could not hold any longer and was dispersed. However, was that the end of things? Far from it. A black and white light descended from the sky, heading directly for this dispersed luck of Time Eater's territory. Wang Wei saw such a sight before, and he knew what would happen next. 'It seems this time he's not only saving the smallest portion but directly reverting the dragon to its original state,' Wang Wei thought as he watched the black and white beam.

"Amitabha," Feng Heng suddenly said. Activate." Buddhist chants suddenly echoed between Heaven and Earth, followed by countless Buddha statuses worldwide, suddenly releasing a golden light to confront the black-and-white light.

Wang Wei was surprised, followed by ecstasy. 'I see. Maitreya has been locked out of the world but still has some influences. She can use a medium to channel her power and interfere.' This was good news for Wang Wei as that meant he had more choices/options available to him when dealing with Supreme Unity's madness.

The confrontation between these two superpowers lasted for a few minutes, and Maitreya won. Supreme Unity did not succeed in saving the Qi Luck Dragon — or so everybody thought. Before anyone could celebrate, five Qi Luck Dragons of varying sizes appeared between Heaven and Earth, and they released a multicolored orb from their mouths that instantly recondensed the Qi Luck Dragon. Of course, this newly condensed luck dragon was the smallest, even tinier than Five Feather's luck. Regardless, it was condensed.

"What should we do now?"

Wang Wei frowned. "Let's leave. It's no longer safe." He had accomplished his primary objectives. As for the other losses? They were acceptable for now. So, Wang Wei took one last glance at these five dragons and sneered before disappearing.

Everyone returned to the secret locations they had already designated. As soon as they arrived, Sage Pure Flame said his goodbyes to everybody and left. Wang Wei still thanked him sincerely, even though he had already planned for someone to monitor him. After he left, no one mentioned Pure Flame's weird behavior.

Instead, Wang Wei had a conversation with Feng Heng and Sage Lin Qi. He introduced the latter to Mortal Civilization and Mortal Art Dao, asking him to cooperate and work together to spread these concepts.

"This is a wonderful idea," Sage Lin Qi said, not hiding his excitement. For many years, he has lamented how weak mortals were and thought of every way to improve their lives. But he never thought of improving their strength, especially to the point of competing with cultivators.

"This poor monk has always planned to spread these concepts, but I wanted to wait for your permission," Feng Heng said. Buddhis's territory was the second largest in the world, only slightly inferior to Taoism, meaning their mortal population was astronomical. Feng Heng knew the merit he could receive by spreading these concepts, but he chose to remain respectful until Wang Wei brought it up.

"I'm glad to hear it," Wang Wei nodded. "If my guess is correct, mortals will need a way to defend themselves, not to mention the merit involved."

"Can we even get merit in the current situation?" Emperor Kong asked.

"I'm not sure," Wang Wei shook his head. "However, even if we don't, it will only be delayed until we become the victor in this war. By then, Heavenly Dao will reward us ten times for our effort and loyalty."

Everybody caught on that their benefit was contingent on their winning, but no one mentioned it. They've already made their choices, and with people of their willpower, they won't easily switch sides.

"Can the academy participate?" Emperor Kong asked.

"Do you have the means?" Wang Wei asked back, and Emperor Kong smiled wryly. Indeed, their academy was now the enemy of the parasites, meaning it was time for them to hide underground. In the process, they must also abandon many of their branches, let alone their territory.

"No need to be depressed," Wang Wei said. Kong should have been prepared for this outcome, so there was no point in complaining or regretting. The moment he chose to work with these parasites to accelerate the academy's growth, today's events were bound to happen as long as he was unwilling to remain these people's dogs or leave a name of infamy throughout history.

"We still have a feast to participate in. Although it's not as good as the Blood Dragon, it's plenty for the three of us to divide." Buddhism did not need this, so they were not participating.

Wang Wei discussed with these two how to spread these two concepts. Meanwhile, his people, the Academy, and Sage Lin Qi's people had already started the feast. They attacked all the resource points/halls in Time Eater's territory. The battle was fierce but swift. After all, most of that territory's elite warriors were located in the Central Time Realm, except for the people Time Eater previously sent to Origin Seal Continent and Dao Opening Sect. Unfortunately, after seeing what happened to these people's bosses, these former Overlord factions showed their bold sides and sent people to wipe out these elites.

Ultimately, these resource points did not survive long without reinforcements. Their only hope was the other parasites, but Wang Wei knew these people's psychology too well. As long as he hid in the shadows and did not show up, none dared to share pieces of the pie openly. Recent events have shown that Wang Wei was a genuine threat, and these people did not want to be the next victim.

Of course, a few of them were slightly brave. The Earth Emperor did not show up, but after a while, he sent a few legions to plunder. After seeing his actions, the others also gained the courage to act. Unfortunately, most of the best places have been plundered by then.
