Chapter 4 - 4

Chapter 359 - Ten Lives, Nine Reincarnations

Before his reincarnation, Di Tian foretold that there might some accident. So, he prepared beforehand. He left secret realms full of innate treasures, Innate Demon Gods and Emperor Bloods, and even a few chaos treasures to recuperate.

To acquire all these things, he had to use all the merits he achieved for the human race during the war. And as he expected, an accident did occur. When he finally reincarnated, it was already after the Null Era, when the war ended.

Although sad that everyone he knew was either dead or gone, he still continued forward as he had a mission to fulfill: become a Great Emperor to revive his beloved wife, Ning'er.

Using the things he left behind, he quickly cultivated to a realm similar to True Monarchs. Although the environment then had changed making it difficult for the ancient cultivation system to flourish, he did not have this problem with the resources in his hand.

When it was time for the Heaven Will Battle, Di Tian lost, and it was at the hand of Wang Wei's ancestor, Emperor Qiyuan. Although unfortunate, he still accepted his defeat calmly. After all, this was not the first time. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Additionally, he knew that Emperor Qiyuan was carrying the luck of an era with him; he was destined to open a new era and spread the Dao to the entire Myriad Emperor Realm.

So, Di Tian planned for his next reincarnation. Before his death, he condensed something Cultivation Seed and reincarnated with it. This seed's purpose allowed him to absorb all the strength of his previous life after cultivating to the peak.

So, in his second reincarnation, Di Tian once again cultivated to the peak. This time, he used the Origin System to fit in better with heaven and earth. Once he reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he absorbed the cultivation of his previous life, thus drastically increasing his strength.

Unfortunately, he failed once again during the Heaven Will Battle.

This time, his opponent was the Yan family ancestor, the Sword Empress. To this day, Di Tian remembered that fight–if it can be considered one. The Sword Empress–holding a bamboo as a sword–gently swung it and terrifying sword qi destroyed his body into millions of pieces.

Luckily, he already cultivated the Cultivation Seed and his soul was still intact, so he could be reincarnated again.

When it came to his third and fourth, reincarnation, Di Tian does not have any memory of how he lost. He remembered participating in the battle, but for some unknown reason, he could not remember the face or the name of the person who defeated him.

Truth be told, he could not even remember how he lost.

In his 5th reincarnation, he was born as a Buddhis monk. He was very talented, so was cultivated with great emphasis by the Buddhist Sect. That monk had the brilliant idea of cultivating the [Past, Present, and Future Buddha Book] together by splitting his soul into three.

This was not a simple feat as this book was essentially three Emperor Scriptures combined into one; it was never met to be cultivated simultaneously.

If succeeded, that monk would be able to compete with the Heaven Chosen of Buddhism at that time who cultivated the Buddha Golden Body.

(AN: For reference, go back to chapter 166)

Unfortunately, an accident still occurred. Right as this monk was about to succeed, it was the exact time that Di Tian recovered the memories of his previous lives, which led to cultivation deviation.

With his understanding of the soul, he was able to cure the injury to his Primordial Spirit. However, his Sea of Consciousness was filled with the berserk power of time, constantly influencing his mind.

And when it was time for the Heaven Will Battle, he encountered the Absolute Beginning Emperor. He could not even use half of his strength, so he lost miserably.

At this point, Di Tian knew that something was off. Nevertheless, he continued onward.

In his 6th Reincarnation, he became the Prince of the Devil Race. Once he regained his memories, Di Tian immediately realized that something was wrong. He seemed to have formed a feud with a little girl from a small village because some human traitors wanted to give her to him,

Usually, most people would not care about such small and insignificant things, but he knew his experience over the past few reincarnations, so he was cautious.

After investigation, he discovered that this little girl carried tremendous luck–just like Qiyuan Emperor. Additionally, the entire Devil Race was enveloped by Qi of Calamity and would soon fave a terrible tribulation.

So, he hurried to take action to smooth out the situation. He contacted human leaders at that time and asked them as long as they could set up a meeting with the little girl, he would find a way to create a better living environment and treatment for the human race.

This was a perfect plan to not only smooth things out with the human race and wash away some of his karma but also peacefully deal with a literal Son of Destiny.

Unfortunately, his words were wrongly interpreted. As a result, more people started to chase after the little girl, making her life more miserable. Frustrated, he dispatched his Sleepers, which were a group of elite information gatherers that have constantly reincarnated with him.

And unlike him, there are usually many of them in each generation, so the amount of information they have gathered over the years is unimaginable The only time that has failed him was what happened in his third and fourth reincarnation.

Even they did not know.

In the end, the Sleepers failed to catch the little girl. Somehow, she always managed to escape. Without any choice, Di Tian decided to prepare for the Heaven Will Battle.

This was his 6th reincarnation, and each time, he had cultivated to the peak of the Quasi-Realm, so he had the strength of 6 lives. With all his strength, he did not think he would lose.

But he lost. Fair and Square.

In that final battle, despite the secret intervention of the Devil Gods, he still lost to Empress Wu. Plus, once she won, he sealed him and stole his talent and strength before killing him.

Luckily, he had left a backhand; a piece of his soul survived and occupied a human cultivator. He used the time that Empress Wu was madly slaughtering the Devil race to secretly steal many of the resources of the race to recultivate to the peak once again.

Then, he condensed the Cultivation Seed and prepared for the 7th reincarnation.

This time again, he failed to become a Great Emperor once again, and it was all because of tricks.

In this life, he was born as a devil cultivator. By the time his memories returned, he was considered one of the greatest devils that ever existed in the current generation

His body and soul were tainted by sins–even worse than when he was an actual devil. What's worse, all the sins were the reason he lost the final battle.

Emperor Kong was a man of great merit. For his creation of the Academy System, gathered large enough merit to cultivate the Golden Body of Merit. So, when a devil cultivator like Di Tian faced someone like this, he was overwhelmed by the merit and could not even use ten percent of his strength.

And just like that, he also failed to become a Great Emperor.

By this time, Di Tian had become discouraged. Failures after failures had begun to shatter his Dao Heart.

However, his desire to one day see the smile of his wife again, to gently caress her face, to brush her hair, to taste her lips, to hear her voice: kept him going.

No matter the price, no matter how many times he has to fall and get up, he would.

So, he went into his 8th reincarnation. And as expected, he also encountered another Eternal Emperor. However, the defeat this time greatly angered him.

The reason he was defeated was that he only awakened the memories of his past life after his defeat at the hands of the Heaven Devour Emperor. He never even had the chance to absorb the strength of his past lives.

At that point, Di Tia was aware that Heavenly Dao was manipulating his reincarnation to prevent him from becoming a Great Emperor, just because he had committed a taboo.

Nevertheless, he did not back down.

He calmly prepared for his 9th and final reincarnation. At this point, his soul had reached its limits and could not reincarnate for the tenth time.

Di Tian studied the Dao of Reincarnation deeply and ensured that he would be born in the right era, his memories awakened just after he is born, and even ensure that he was blessed with great luck.

With the strength of his nine lives, he should be guaranteed to win the throne. But now, he received news that there were variables.

No matter how talented Wang Wei was, he should not be rival him once he reached the Quasi-Realm. With his talent, he should be able to reach the strength of his 6th reincarnation, similar to Empress Wu.

Even if he was more talented, at best he could reach the 7th reincarnation, and pushing it, the 8th. But not the current 9th.

He knew that 9 was a qualitative change, and even he did know how powerful he will be.

Suddenly, Di Tian seemed to think of something and a terrifying aura suddenly emanate from him, shaking the entire Heaven Mystery Pavillion.

Chapter 360 - Upcoming Danger

'Wang Wei is an Outlaw trying to control one of the five hidden Supreme Dao. There is no way for him to survive until the Heaven Will Battle…Unless he passed the trial.'

As soon as these thoughts came to his mind, Di Tian lost his composure and a powerful aura emanated from his body, shaking the entire Heaven Mystery Pavillion.

All the people in the room felt a heavy pressure pressing them down, and all of them with the exception of Old Chu were forced on their knees.

As for the old man, he was wondering why their pavilion suffered so many calamities in just one generation. Could it be that Heaven was finally punishing them for leaking its secrets for so many years?

Meanwhile, Di Tian did not seem to notice his surroundings as he walked back and forth. With each step, the pressure in the surrounding seemed to increase.

'No one has ever passed that trial. Even I failed, how could he?'

Thinking about the trial, he gritted his teeth. This was the beginning of everything: the death of his beloved wife and all the millions of years of suffering.

Many wise men warned him, many Great Emperors warned him, but he did not listen and insisted on going his way. As a genius, he had his own pride and arrogance.

Even if Great Emperors were more powerful than him, he did not think he lost to them in terms of talent or wisdom.

In the end, he lost everything.

Di Tian looked at his hands with blurred eyes before muttering only to himself.

"Maybe if I listened back then, I would not have lost you, Ning'er. My greed is the only thing to blame for all this suffering…No, if I had listened, you might not even exist.

"Or at the very least, you would not be my Ning'er. Although our time together was short, it was worth every single moment."

He remembered all the great memories they had together. The first time he met her. Instantly, he was fascinated by her perfect smile.

He remembered when he taught her how to cook; she burned the food and was very embarrassed. So, she practiced day and night until she became a better cook than him in just a few days.

He remembered how happy she was when she first started cultivating and praised her talent. The first time she made a pill, a talisman, magical weapons, and so on. There has been so many first in their lives, and even after millions of years, he remembered them as if they happened yesterday.

He also remembered the many fights and disagreements they had. Although they were a loving couple, they still had their share of disagreements. Despite this, they still loved one another.

All these beautiful and sad memories flashed across his mind. Then, Di Tian raised his head. His eyes had now turned to his cold and indifference, and his aura under control.

"There is no way I will let you pass that trial so easily. So, let's add wood to the fire," he muttered with terrifying killing intent in his eyes. He has paid too much to become a Great Emperor and no one can stop him.

'Wang Wei should have been the Son of this Era, with the mission not only to create a new Era but also to stop me. However, the moment he decided to cultivate the Dao of Fate, he gave up that title.

'Nevertheless, he is still an individual with tremendous luck, almost like a Son of Destiny. So, killing him will not be easy–especially with a variable like Wu Hong.'

Thinking about Empress Wu, he frowned. No matter what relationship Wu Hong has with her, she will be a problem.

He then finally looked at Old Chu once again.

"I need you to divine one last thing for me again. Once done, I will grant you the Emperor Artifact and help you be recognized as its master."

With a wry smile on his face, Old Chu said: "It's not that I do not want to help, but.." He raised his head in the sky. If it was not the Emperor Artifact, he would have instantly aged and died after that last divination.

Di Tian followed him and he could feel that Heavenly Dao was slowly waking up to release Divine Punishment. The last Divination has touched some taboo, and the entire Heaven Mystery Pavillion was about to pay the price.

"Don't worry about it. I will take care of it."

After saying that, Di Tian glanced at a position. He could feel a terrifying power secretly spying on this place. He guessed that it must have been the Immortal Venerable of the Heaven Mystery Pavillion.

However, he did not care. As the future leader of the Di Family, his backing was great enough to prevent these old monsters from secretly attacking him.

Northern Black Tortoise Continent, Secret Realm:

Wang Wei had just instilled his will and goal into the Good Fortune Flame to enter the Divine Body Realm. Lou Cheng's ideal is to become a great alchemist respected by his master and fellow disciples so that one day, he can be worthy of his third senior sister.

So, after instilling these ideals, he used the flame to temper his skin and entered the Divine Body Realm. Then, he underwent Thunder Tribulations.

As the thunder fell on him, a cauldron with a bunch of materials appeared in front of him. He immediately directed the thunder inside the cauldron and began to refine a pill.

A few minutes later, Wang Wei muttered: "It is indeed possible to use thunder to purify the materials. Maybe even the other elements as well."

A few minutes later, the Thunder Tribulation ended and he took out a yellow pill from the cauldron, flash of lightning could be seen on the surface of the pill.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill. Thunder appeared on his skin as to tempered it, along with the Good Fortunate Pill.

"It seems that my recipe succeeded. I will call this pill Thunder Skin Refinement Pill…Okay, I admit I'm not good at naming things. Anyway, it does not matter since I'm already perfect in every other way."

After stroking his ego, Wang Wei began to plan on how to use the Divine Punishment Thunder sealed inside his body to refine the Thunder Skin Refinement Pill.

With his current fleshly body, few things can actually improve help temper it. And this problem will become more prominent after he opened his Acupoints and reached completion of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].

This is one of the reasons he was so excited about the method that Wu Hong gave him.

Wang Wei had a feeling that there was a big secret behind the ancient desolate scripture. And once he discovers that secret, he had a feeling that he would not like it.

While he was in deep thought, he suddenly felt everything around him shake, To be precise, it was the entire secret realm that was shaking.

"What's going on?"

Wang Wei was not the only one asking this question. The clone that was cultivating on the core mountain suddenly opened his eyes as well. He looked around and discovered that everyone was surprised at the sudden change, and no one could explain the phenomenon.

Immediately, the clone noticed something and looked at the formations on the mountain. He could see that runes in these formations suddenly dim as if losing the power behind them.

'Could it be?'

For the first time since coming here, he attacked the formation.

Bang!

With a slight punch, the powerful formation that required at least 3 True Monarchs to break was easily shattered by him. The clone frowned as he looked at the other factions near him.

Just like him, they realized that all the formation had weakened. So, they became more enthusiastic. With the sudden change, the speed at which these factions broke the formation drastically changed.

In that way, it would not take long before they could reach the core of this secret realm.

The clone just smiled after seeing this as he gazed at Liu Meixiu that was in front of everyone. Then, he returned to his enlightenment of formation.

Although he was wondering the reason for such a sudden change, it did not change the overall situation.

Meanwhile, in another secret realm, Huo Fenghuang suddenly opened her eyes. A powerful aura suddenly emanated on her body. It took her a few seconds to control her strength.

She then looked at the empty pool in front of her and muttered: "With the innate energy gone, there is no longer any force powering the formations at the entrance. So, these people should be able to enter at a faster pace. I need to hurry up."

She proceeded to contact her Dao Protectors.

"What do you need, young lady?"

"You guys need to start setting up the formation."

"Young lady, did you succeed?"

"Yes."

"Good, good, good," said one of the old men that were with her. "Our Huo Clan will have another Emperor in this generation."

"What about the Tribulation? Young Lady, do you want to wait until you return to the clan?" asked another person.

Because the ancient clans cultivated a different system, Heavenly Dao is especially harsh on them when it comes to tribulation, making it very difficult to survive.

So, a lot of preparation is usually required during the process.

"There is no need. I will use Heavenly Tribulation to further temper my body and True Spirit."

The True Monarchs' eyes lit up after hearing this; they understood that their young lady was not the same as before.

Chapter 361 - Petty Revenge

Wang Wei's real body waited for a while until he received a communication talisman from this clone. After reading it, he finally understood the situation at the core of the secret realm.

"It should not be long before the truth of this secret realm is revealed," pondered Wang Wei. Although he did not really care what it was as his main purposes were Lan Ling and Liu Meixiu, he still wished that it was something that would benefit him.

'According to the clone, it will still take a year or two before Liu Meixiu or the Demon race to reach the core. This should be more than enough time to deal with Fu Caiyun's people.'

Fu Caiyun held too much power in the Origin Pill Dao Sect and with his nature of suppressing talent, Wang Wei could foresee that this guy will be an obstacle for his plan to acquire the Origin Pill Flame Scripture.

As such, he has long decided to kill all the people related to him that came to this secret realm. Although this will not affect the latter that much, it's better than nothing.

Maybe this act could give his cheap master a chance to breathe and gather power.

After making a decision, Wang Wei turned into someone else as he began his hunt. He still decided not to use his own power, however, although Lou Cheng was as weak as a chicken in his eyes, he still has ways to deal with the situation.

Mainly the use of poison. Over the past two hundred years, his alchemy has progressed drastically and he learned and created many poisons.

…

Time is like an unstoppable river that can only flow in one direction. For Liu Meixiu, the past three years felt like an eternity. She has been under so much pressure that she felt like her lifespan was dramatically reduced.

She turned around to see the people behind her that were not too far behind.

'What is it with the Demon race? Why are they so determined to reach the core so much?'

Liu Meixiu looked at the white hair of these Demon True Monarchs. When these people first came here, all of them had black hair and the majority looked middle-aged.

However, in the short 203 years, these Demon races have aged rapidly that they looked like their lifespan would run out at any time. It is common knowledge that the demon race has higher lifespans on average than humans.

So, the people around could imagine how much they have paid to get an advantage in breaking the formations.

'They must know something about this Secret Realm. After all, it was in their territory,' thought Liu Meixiu. 'Luckily, I was prepared.'

Right before these people entered the secret realm, her faction in the Herd Raising Valley brought many resources. So, using countless pills, the True Monarchs on their sides were able to keep their heads up after the desperate advance of the demon race.

"Young Lady, we have broken through the last formation," said one the True Monarch with a slight tremble voice.

"Hurry up then," replied Liu Meixiu as she woke from her daze. She immediately led her group to the top of the mountain. As soon as she took that final step, she found herself in another place.

It was like she transitioned from one space-time to another, from one world to another. More ever, the transition was extremely smooth which showed that the person who created was a master of Space.

The first thing that Liu Meixiu noticed was the large puppet army standing in two rows; they looked like they were guarding something. However, there was something odd with these puppets.

Although they looked humanoid in shape, all of them had one thing in common: they all had deer-like horns on their foreheads. Liu Meixui instantly became excited after seeing this.

"We were right; this should be the tomb of a True Dragon from ancient times!" she muttered, her voice slightly higher than normal. And it was not just her who felt that way, but all the other members of her faction.

One of the most powerful Great Emperors to ever have the Myriad Beast Physique was the True Phoenix Emperor. And the reason for her strength was because she acquired the blood essence of a True Phoenix: an Innate Demon.

In this tomb, there is most likely the blood essence of a True Dragon. As long as Liu Meixiu can acquire it, she can reproduce the might and grandeur of the True Phoenix Great Emperor.

That meant that in this generation, their faction has the chance to cultivate a Great Emperor. They can finally get rid of the control of the Ji family, and maybe even annihilated them.

After a few minutes of excitement, Liu Meixiu calmed herself down, so she said: "Go set up a formation to prevent the people from the demon race from entering. At the very least, delay them long enough."

The True Monarchs nodded and went to execute her orders. Meanwhile, Liu Meixiu walked deep into the tomb, full of excitement. Oddly though, a few minutes later, she returned with an ugly look on her face.

Her Dao Protectors taught that she might have encountered a powerful opponent that required their help to solve. However, once they saw the weird runes that appeared on her left hand, they knew something weird had happened.

Back on Array Mountain, the moment that Liu Meixiu's group reached the top, Wang Wei's clone opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Let's begin," he said to the others. Then, a mist that seemed to isolate all prying suddenly covered all of them. Many people were paying attention to the Dao Opening Sect's weird actions, so they immediately noticed this when it happened.

However, they did not know what they were doing as the mist could isolate their Divine Sense and other forms of investigation. Plus, not a lot of people dare investigate the most powerful sect.

Meanwhile, inside the mist, Wang Wei took out something weird from his space ring: it was an arm. To be precise, it was Liu Meixiu's arm that he ripped off during the Qi Luck Trial.

An invisible grey line appeared from the hand connecting to something or someone in the distance. The clone looked at the people behind him and said:

"Do not resist, and be on alert as soon as we arrived."

Then, all the people turned into motes of light and entered the grey line connected to that hand. They soon found themselves traveling at rapid speed.

Time seemed to slow down for them, yet at the same time, seemed to be rapidly passing. After what felt like an instant and an eternity at the same time, the group stopped as they appeared in a darkly lit space with jewels decorated in the walls.

Behind them was an army of puppets with horns and in front of them were the people of the Herd Raising Valley.

"All of this is really your plan," said Liu Meixiu with gritted teeth as she looked at Wang Wei in front of her. The moment these runes appeared on her arm, she guessed most of Wang Wei's plans.

Wang Wei looked at her with cold and indifferent eyes, then said: "Kneel."

Suddenly, a strange and mysterious force came from his voice, and to Liu Meixiu's horror, she was forced to kneel on the floor; she was incapable of resisting with her strength.

"Kowtow," said Wang Wei again, and Liu Meixiu's head was forced on the ground. The True Monarchs with her were furious, however, they were all locked by the ones with Wang Wei.

"What kind of ability is this?" asked Liu Meixiu.

"You do not need to know," replied Wang Wei. This was of the two abilities he gained after opening his Chakras and it came from his tongue Orifice and Throat Chakra.

The ability is called [Emperor's Words Are Law].

Liu Meixiu gritted her teeth and asked: "Why are you doing this? Is it because of what happened in the trial?"

"You could say so."

"Don't be so hypocritical," she snorted in disdain. "Cultivators never considered the lives of mortals. The only reason that they are so restrained when dealing with them is because of Karma.

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

She tried to get up but failed. Nevertheless, she still continued:

"You people of Dao Opening Sect have brought disaster to be many Small Thousand Worlds before sending your people to save it to gather merit and used as a Trial of Luck.

"How is that any different from what I did?"

Wang Wei looked at her calmly before saying:

"Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong. I will not talk to you regarding the issue of morality. What I hate about what you did is that you broke the established rule.

"Everyone agreed on a Battle of Dynasty, yet, you decided to overthrow the entire chessboard to win the game. Do you think that your actions would have no consequences?

"Of course, this is not the main reason for my dislike of you. I promised the people of Great Xia that I would protect them. As their ruler, this was my responsibility.

"Yet, you ruined that." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

His eyes concentrated on Liu Meixiu on the floor.

"I counted. 12, 345, 654 innocent civilians died in your beast tide. Not soldiers, but civilians. Do you want me to tell you the exact number of children, women, and elderly?"

The room became quiet for a moment. With his Divine Sense, he could see that Liu Meixiu did not care about his words.

"Okay," he said with a sneer. "Since you only believe in the survival of the fittest, I will apply this rule to you too. I'm more powerful than you, then I can determine your life and death."

Wang Wei no longer waste any time with her and mobilized his powerful soul. Although he was only a clone, he still inherited some of its power. He directly broke into her Sea of Consciousness and went for her soul.

He ignored her Soul Protecting Treasure and went straight for her soul. Liu Meixiu resisted as her Myriad Beast Physique was also activated to protect her.

Countless illusory beast shadows appeared in her Sea of Consciousness to block Wang Wei's attack. However, he simply bulldozed these shadows and went straight for her soul.

Once he found the bronze cloud with slight silver on it, he destroyed it and killed her.. All of this happened so quickly that Liu Meixiu did not have time to react, defend herself, or even use her Innate Talent.

Chapter 362 - At Peace

After killing Liu Meixiu, Wang Wei felt at peace. His state of mind did not suddenly undergo any changes, after all, he has gotten used to the fact that death is a normal thing in the world of cultivation.

You could say that he has become desensitized to death. And after understanding some power of fate, he knew that it was the fate of many mortals to die at the hands of cultivators.

Despite all of this, he was still a little bothered by what happened in the Qi Luck Trial. As such, he had long planned to kill Liu Meixiu, no matter what.

So, as he watched her body fall to the ground and her soul destroyed, he felt relieved, calm, or at peace.

Wang Wei sighed lightly. He raised his hand to burn her body, then, he suddenly remembered the Fiendgod 12 Revolution that he just received and an idea popped in his head.

So, he immediately sealed the pieces of her soul that were about to disappear and put the body away.

"You're not even going to allow us to bury her?" asked one of the True Monarchs from the Herd Raising Valley.

"How many of the people she killed did not have the opportunity to be buried because they were swallowed whole by her beasts?" replied Wang Wei.

"Are you going to use their lives to justify your actions?" said the True Monarch.

"You are correct; I do not need to justify myself. Her body will benefit me so I took it. She will become the nourishment for my Path of Emperor."

The True Monarch was momentarily silent before adding: "There is a saying: 'One thought to become Buddha, one thought to become the Devil.' It seems to me that Sacred Son Wang Wei has reached such a state of mind, however, you should be careful not to become the next Mo Zun."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes at this person. Mo Zun was the name of the Heaven Devouring Emperor, who wanted to swallow the world after becoming an Eternal Emperor.

This guy's words may seem like just a warning or words spoken to save face, but Wang Wei could understand his insinuation. He was threatening to spread rumors that he was the next Mo Zun and rally the people of the world to kill him.

After all, no one wants another crazy and powerful Eternal Emperor to be born in this world.

After figuring this out, Wang Wei laughed out loud. This kind of threat might work for ordinary people with no background. But who was he?

The Sacred Son of the most powerful sect in the world. The son of the Sect Master, the heir to two Emperor Lineages. Who dare to easily mess with him.

"Your little faction is already struggling against the Ji family. What do you think will happen if my Dao Opening Sect intervened in your conflict and support the Ji Clan? How long do you people think you can last?"

Wang Wei replied with a threat of his own. And as soon he said these words, the faces of the other True Monarchs became very ugly to look at.

Now that their dreams and goals at cultivating a Great Emperor were dead, their futures looked bleak. And once they returned to the sect, they will be further suppressed by the Ji family.

So, after quickly communicating with one another, they decided to leave. They rushed out of the Secret Realm while always on guard against the people of the Dao Opening Sect.

"Young Master, why don't we take this opportunity to kill these people?" asked Yan Chen.

"This is not the time nor the place," replied Wang Wei calmly. "If my real body was here, I could team up with all of you to kill all of them. However, with my current strength, it will take too much time to kill any of the Supreme Realms. And we cannot waste any more time."

Yan Chen nodded his head in response. This is how he felt as well, but he wanted to see whether the recent failures about his Primordial Spirit would affect him.

So, he was relieved.

"Alright, go set up the formation to prevent other people from entering," said Wang Wei.

Truth be told, he was a little disappointed with the reaction of these people as he wanted a hearty battle. After years of planning, using countless resources, their dreams were shattered like that but their response was still so calculated.

None of them acted out of pure emotions and attacked him. And Wang Wei knew that it was not because of his background, but more to do with the fact that these people feared death.

After living for so long, as time passed and they become older, they began to fear death and act more cautious when doing things. And this is not just a problem for the people of the Herd Raising Valley.

He has noticed this fact amount some of the True Monarchs in his sect as well.

Wang Wei quickly removed these thoughts from his head and quickly helped them set up the formation to block the other people from coming. Although the formation will most likely break once these people work together, it can still buy him enough time to get the real fortunate encounter inside.

Once everything was done, Wang Wei rushed to the core. On his way, he faced many Puppets with dragon horns. He immediately sealed these puppets to study later on as he discovered that the method of refinement was unknown to him.

So, Wang Wei's path forward was easier than expected. He discovered that the puppets seemed weaker than anticipated; it was as if the energy required for them to function was missing.

The same was applied for the formation in his way. All of them seemed drastically weakened. So, after remembering them to study later, he immediately used brute force to break them.

Finally, he reached the core of this secret realm and saw what was inside. It was the bones of a snake-like creature with two horns.

"Is this a Dragon Remain?"

Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to check the surroundings and ensure that there were no traps or anything else. Then, he finally approached the creature to inspect.

The skin or scale was already gone. As such, only by the shape of the bones and the powerful aura that remained could he tell that this was a dragon.

The aura was not only suppressive but also displayed a form of nobleness; it was as if this creature was the favored son of Heaven and Erath. As if it was born noble and all living creatures should respect it.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would not be able to even approach these remains simply by the aura it revealed.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was intrigued as he observed the dragon bones. In his past life, dragons were common creatures in most novels. Always associated with strength, power, and prestige. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Many protagonists will at some power have a dragon to look cool, marry the princess of the Dragon Clan, or absorbed dragon bloodline into their bodies to increase their strength or talent.

Unfortunately for Wang Wei, the world he lived in has no dragons; they have been gone for billions of years. And from the pieces of information he gathered from Wu Hong, he knew that all Innate Lifeforms like Dragons and Phoenixes have left the lower dimension and ascended.

So, if he ever wanted to meet a real one, he would have to wait to become an Emperor and ascend as well. As such, he was a little excited after seeing the dragon for the first time–even if it was just the bones.

Then, he frowned once his investigation was over.

"Most of the power of the dragon bone is lost because with the passage of time, with the only exception being the spine."

He then touched the bones.

"The hardness is enough for even the lamest Weapon Refiner to make a Quasi-Emperor Artifact. And in the hands of an Emperor, they could probably make an Emperor Artifact.

"As for me, the best way to use this bone is to cultivate the [Fiendgod Body 12 Revolutions]. With this bone, I could probably quickly cultivate the first few revolutions.

"No, it would be better to use it to cultivate the last 3 revolutions. Maybe I will have some surprise gain."

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction and prepared to place the dragon bone inside his space ring. However, right before he succeeded, he felt a slight void fluctuation.

Immediately, he acted out of instinct and took out a Supreme Tier Void Blocking Talisman and activated it. The talisman paper rushed in the direction of the void tremor, and a powerful wave came from it, trying to block whatever was coming through.

Regrettably, it was slightly too late.

A beautiful woman with a flame design on her forehead walked out from the void.

Chapter 363 - Ancient Clan's Goal

Huo Fenghuang looked at the space behind her that was completely blocked by that talisman. Her Dao Protectors should take quite some time before arriving here.

Then, she finally looked at the person responsible for all of this: Wang Wei.

'What a handsome guy,' she thought to herself calmly, before looking at the surroundings.

'Based on the spy we left at the core mountain, the first group to arrived at the tomb should be the people of the Herd Raising Valley. Yet, the Wang Clan descendant is the one here.

'For more than 200 years, the Dao Opening Sect has been acting very weird regarding this secret realm; they were too nonchalant regarding the entire thing.

'This might be because they already had a way to enter the core as we did.'

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was also looking at Huo Fenghuang after she emerged from the void.

'What a beautiful woman,' he thought. Although this was not the first time he saw her, this was the first time he saw her so close.

'More importantly, her aura indicates that she seems to be in a realm similar to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Based on the fact that she could not completely hide it means that she lacked control of her strength, most likely as a result of just breaking through.

'Three years ago, the changes that occurred which made all the formations at the Core Mountain weakened might be the result of her breakthrough.'

"Miss Huo, are you here for the tomb as well?"

"Yes."

"In that case, let's used our fist to determine the ownership."

Wang Wei wanted to secretly place the bones inside his space ring, however, he felt a great resistance in doing so, making it impossible to do so in just an instant.

Additionally, he could feel this girl's fighting intent as she locked on his every move.

Without hesitation or saying another word, he rushed towards her; he knew that time was not in his favor. His talisman could not block the void for long, and his Dao Protectors could also not stop the other factions on Core Mountain from entering.

So, the more time passed, the less advantage the situation was to him.

Wang Wei's clone clenched his fingers into a fist to throw a punch.

Whish!

The air squeeze and tremble under the force of his fleshly body. However, to his slight surprise, Huo Fenghuang responded with the same action as him.

Bang!

The two fists clashed together creating a powerful shockwave that made the surroundings hundred of meters tremble.

'What a powerful fleshly body,' thought Wang Wei after the first clash. Then, he became excited. He threw punches after punches at her. In just a few seconds, he threw over a million punches, and yet, she calmly responded with punches of her own.

After a few seconds of exchange, the two of them stopped at the same time. Wang Wei immediately noticed that her fists were perfectly fine, not even slightly red. Her breathing was normal, and not even a drop of sweat could be seen on her forehead.

"Truly impressive, Miss Huo," commented Wang Wei. "Ever since that poor boy Ji Song died, I have never had such a hearty battle." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Young Master Wang, I am not your training punching bag."

"I apologize if my words seem rude. Sometimes, my lust for battle can get the best of me."

"I accept your apology," replied Huo Fenghuang calmly. Although she appeared calm, she was very serious on the inside. She cultivated an eye secret technique that allows her to see the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.

So, she knew that the person in front of her was only a clone of the real body. Yet, the clone had such tremendous strength. She could not fathom how powerful the main body was.

Thinking about this, she decided to take a different approach to achieve her goal.

"Young Master Wang, why don't we each take a step back. I just need a few drops of blood from the dragon spine, and I'll be on my way."

Wang Wei pondered for a moment. With the strength of this clone, it will take a while if he wants to defeat her. And he might not even succeed; he had to admit that she deserved to be a person cultivated by an ancient clan.

Additionally, time was not on his side.

"How much do you need?"

"10 drops."

"I'll give you five, and I have two other conditions."

Huo Fenghuang frowned after hearing this. She was not asking much as the spine could still produce more than 100 drops of blood, and she only wanted less than 10%.

However, after thinking about it and her purpose for the blood, she agreed.

"Fine, but please do not go too far."

"Malleable to the situation, I see," said Wang Wei with a charming smile. Unfortunately, Huo Fenghuang did not care for his charming good looks.

"My first condition is a question. Why is your ancient clan so adamant about your consecutive ways? You all should understand that over time, the weaker your clans will become."

After a moment's pause, Huo Fenghuang said: "You could not possibly understand how prosperous we were in those eras. For example, our Huo clan had 8 Great Emperors before the beginning of the Null Era.

"Yet, all of them died. The most powerful Ancient Clan as you called it had more than 12 Great Emperors at their peaks. Yet, all of them died without even leaving their inheritances."

Wang Wei was slightly surprised by this news. He guessed that maybe in ancient times, the concept of the Nine Emperor Curse did not exist. If you count the Three Emperors that the Huo Clan had after the Ancient Emperor Era, that made a total of 11 Emperors, 2 more than their Dao Opening Sects.

"Every younger generation of our clan is taught at a young age to reclaim the glory of our ancient clans."

"And how exactly are you going to do such a thing? Just cultivating an Emperor will not help and can only prolong the inevitable. I can feel that just by standing here, Heaven and Earth are slowly rejecting your presence.

"Wouldn't be easier for you guys to change and try to reclaim your glory with the changes of the new era."

"No, we will not. Instead, we will change Heaven and Earth," replied Huo Fenghuang resolutely.

"Change Heaven and Earth? Do you guys want to return the world to ancient times? To bred innate qi to the Myriad Emperor World?"

From what Wang Wei knew, in the Primordial Era, humans were created after the first ray of Acquired Qi or Spiritual Energy was born between Heaven and Earth. However, the environment at that time still had abundant Innate Qi--even during the Emperor Beginning Era.

It was later on that Innate Qi completely disappeared from the world.

"That's correct."

"Interesting," muttered Wang Wei. If those ancient clans succeeded, the environment would be more suited for them to practice. More resources that they could use will also be born.

"Have you guys also thought about the problems that arise with this plan? With the revival of Innate Energy, the Innate Lifeforms will also return. Another war between Acquired and Innate will be wage once more."

"At that time, our ancient clan will also lead the Myriad Emperor World to win the war–just like we did in ancient times," replied Huo Fenghuang.

Wang Wei sneered after hearing this. Although he also had planned to return Innate Energy to the world, he had no intention of letting the Innate Lifeforms from returning.

The Myriad Emperor World has long been the world of humans, and it has to stay that way.

"Alright. My second condition is simple. We will both use our most powerful attack to determine the victor of this battle."

He then clenched his fist and attacked without hesitation.

[Desolate God Fist]

With this one attack, everything in the surrounding instantly became bleak. The ground they were standing on, the walls in the tombs, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth: everything.

Huo Fenghuang felt that the life force in her body was about to be severed by this punch, so, she immediately attacked in return.

[Phoenix Flame]

With one punch of her, a beautiful phoenix made of pure red flames appeared; she chirped like a bird. However, unlike ordinary birds, her voice was beautiful, ethereal, and contained a noble presence.

Then, the phoenix began to burn everything in her surroundings, even the desolate power contained in Wang Wei's fists.

A terrible explosion occurred in the entire tomb, burning and destroying every single piece of dirt in this room.

Once the shockwaves subsided, there was only one thing that was perfectly intact in the tomb: the dragon bones.

Wang Wei had burned skins in different parts of his body. As for Huo Fenghuang, a few parts of her skin were dried as if they had lost all moistures.

Luckily, these two were considered freaks even in the cultivating world. In just a few seconds, their injuries quickly healed. Wang Wei's healing was natural, however, Huo Fenghuang had flames appear on the place she wanted to heal.

She looked like a phoenix that was undergoing Nirvana; it was quite a beautiful sight to see.

The two watched each one with great concentration. In that final confrontation, they were evenly matched. However, they both knew that they did not use their full strength.

"Who?" suddenly roared the two of them at the same time.

Chapter 364 - Project Innate Atavism

Both Wang Wei and Huo Fenghuang acted at the same time and punched in a direction close to the dragon bones. Although there was nothing in their sights, they still hit something.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking could be heard followed by an intense scream. A small pool of blood splattered on the ground, and the thing that they hit was momentarily revealed:

'Chameleon Race?'

The strange demon race that looked like a humanoid chameleon only appeared for a brief moment before disappearing once again. More ever, soon afterward, a space fluctuation enveloped him and he broke free from the Void Blocking Talisman and disappeared.

'Since when did the demon race have such good thing that could ignore a Quasi-Emperor Void Blocking Talisman?' thought Wang Wei. Even if the latter used the same ranked Void Escaping Talisman, it would still take them some time before escaping.

Yet, this person instantly vanished.

Both Wang Wei and Huo Fenghuang checked before discovering that this person managed to steal at least one drop of blood from the spine of the dragon.

After seeing this, Wang Wei internally sighed. If it was his main body, there is no way that this Demon race would so easily pass undetected through his senses, no matter how good the camouflage of the Chameleon race is.

So, he realized that the situation is constantly changing and it is best to deal with the bones as soon as possible.

He immediately took out five drops of blood from the spin and handed it to Huo Fenghuang. Then, he began to put away the entire bone. The process lasted at least two minutes since the bone seemed to instinctively resist.

During the process, he did not forget to stare at Huo Fenghuang in case she decided to go back on her words. However, she seemed to a woman of her words.

Nevertheless, a slight accident did occur. As soon as the bone was placed away, the entire tomb began to shake. Space cracks appeared everywhere in less than a second.

This phenomenon was alerting as Wang Wei noticed that even with his clash against Huo Fenghuang–which reached the level of True Monarch–the space in this tomb was completely fine.

"It seems that the space of this tomb is about to collapse," muttered Wang Wei.

With the instability of the tomb's space, his talisman was proven worthless. So, not long after the tremors began, Huo Fenghuang's Dao Protectors appeared in the room.

"Young Lady, is everything fine?" asked one of them.

"I"m alright."

Then, they looked at Wang Wei with suspicion.

"Let's go," said Huo Fenghuang. Then, these people broke the space and teleported away. In the space channel, one of them asked:

"Young Lady, what happened? Do you succeed in acquiring the dragon blood?"

"I had a fight with the Wang Clan Young Master. And Yes, I did succeed."

"I bet the young lady defeated him."

"You are wrong about that; it was a tie."

"I bet that the young lady did not use all her strength."

"You are right, but so did he. Plus, my Heavenly Eye told me that this was just a clone of him with probably 50 to 70% of the real body's strength."

The True Monarchs became quiet after hearing this. Before leaving the clan, the Patriarch warned them to pay attention to Wang Wei and Di Tian, but they did not expect that this person was so powerful.

"There is no need to worry," said Huo Fenghuang calmly. "The Heaven Will Battle is years ahead, and having an advantage now does not mean it will be the same later on."

Meanwhile, as Wang Wei watched her leave, he summarized the things he already knew about Huo Fenghuang in this short confrontation.

The first is the fact that her body is full of Innate Qi. As a person who absorbed Innate Materials inside his body, he was quite sensitive to Innate Qi, and he could feel a vast quantity of them inside her body that has not been completely refined.

Once she has done so, her strength would drastically increase.

The second thing is that she is had a very noble bloodline inside her body–most likely related to the Innate Demon, the Phoenix. And unlike Fang Lijuan of the Divine Dao League, her bloodline is not a shackle to her.

Instead, it seemed to boost her strength, speed, talent, and give her special abilities beyond the norm. Her bloodline is basically the same as Fang Lijuan's after she used the Invisibility Talisman to break from her restrictions.

And in terms of power, purity, and level, Fang Lijuan's current bloodline is nothing compared to Huo Fenghuang. However, the Talisman might still give her the ability to fight.

"With the dragon blood, this girl might want to turn her bloodline into a Dragon and Phoenix Bloodline. I wonder how powerful she will be then," muttered Wang Wei.

However, he soon gave up thinking about such a thing. Anyway, he was just a clone. So, let the main body deal with such a problem.

He then flew from the tomb to the hallways, heading back to the entrance. Midway through his fly, he encountered the people from the Dao Opening Sect.

"Young master, what happened? Our formation suddenly became unstable and many people have begun to rush in."

"After I got the things inside, the entire space began to collapse. So, let's leave immediately."

After opening a space channel, the group quickly arrived outside, floating on top of Array Mountain. Ever since the main tomb began to collapse, the formation on the mountain became dormant, so people do not have to slowly walk up the mountain, they can just fly there.

So, many people rushed up there to enter the core in the hopes of finding something valuable.

Ignoring these people, Wang Wei said: "Let's begin."

The people behind him immediately began to lay Array Flags in specific parts surrounding the mountain. And once everyone was done, Wang Wei activated the formation he was laying down.

A massive circle surrounded the Array Mountain, then, it began to separate from the ground. Everything in a few thousand kilometers shook, and the people still flying on top of the mountain were randomly sent out.

A few seconds later, the mountain floated in the sky, then, one of the True Monarchs waved his sleeve and the large mountain disappeared.

Ever since Wang Wei discovered that this mountain contained natural arrays, he was planned to take it back to the Sect as a Secret Realm to train more Formation Masters.

However, he still needed to find a way to take the mountain while preserving the formations on it. So, he has been planning and setting a formation for the past 200 years.

Once everything was done, Wang Wei left.

As for the people who entered the crumbling tombs, they soon had to run out of there. And once they saw that even the mountain was taken away, these Emperor Lineages could only sighed out loud.

The people of the Dao Opening Sect not only got whatever fortunate encounter was inside but even the Array Mountain was taken away. Truth be told, not many people cared about the mountain–until it was taken away.

They finally realized that this mountain was as valuable as any fortunate encounter; it can be used to strengthen the foundation of any sect–even an Emperor Lineage.

…

Somewhere in the Northern Continent, the space tore apart and a humanoid chameleon stepped out of it. He coughed a large of mouthful blood while groaning in pain.

However, the chameleon just swallowed a handful of pills before rushing to his destination. He broke the space on his own and headed to a specific destination.

Soon, he found himself deep in a mountain range. If anyone could observe the entire range, they would find out that it was used to lay a very powerful formation.

After observing the surroundings, the chameleon headed to one specific mountain and rushed straight at it. However, he did not crash on the mountain but passed through it.

Soon, he was in a completely different place or world. There was one city full of demons of all ethnicity, and in the middle of that city was a large mansion.

The chameleon headed straight for that mansion without stopping. None of the guards noticed him. Inside of the rooms was a handsome young man with two dragon horns waiting for him.

"Did you succeed?" asked the young man with a deep and grave voice.

"Young Master, I only managed to get two drops of blood," replied the Chamelion with his head down. Then, he handed a jade vial to the young man who immediately opened the lid and smell the blood inside.

"This is more than enough."

As the young man smelled the blood inside, scales appeared on his body, and his pupils turned vertical like a snake: no, like a dragon.

A powerful aura emanated from his body which forced the Chameleon to kneel on the ground.. This act was not by choice but an instinct from deep inside his bloodline.

Chapter 365 - Demon Race's Plight And Future

Ao Shen had a deep smile on his face as he smelled the blood inside this vial, making him lose control; he was very excited.

"Our demon race finally has a chance at true freedom," he muttered. "Billions of years of oppression at the hands of humans; all of this will end by my hands."

The plight of the demon race has not been good ever since the end of the Ancient Emperor Era. Before that, everything was relatively normal. Although the relationship with humans and other races were tense, they still tolerated one another.

However, everything changed when the first Demon Great Emperor was born. The Golden Ape immediately wanted to rule the Myriad Emperor and enslaved the human race.

As a powerful Emperor on the level of the Battle Maniac Emperor or the Desolate Emperor, he almost succeeded. Luckily for the human race, the Human Emperor showed up to salvage the situation.

Unfortunately, ever since then, the demon race has been suppressed completely by humans to the point of almost being extinct.

They were exiled to the north from the central continent, a place that was devastated by war which led to low spiritual energy and resources. They were hunted down as food, used for transportation, making pills, talismans, arrays, and weapons.

And this did not stop there. Every time that the demon race as a whole began to slightly recover, the top Emperor Lineages will band together to secretly kill all their upper echelons and reduced their strength.

Every time they cultivated a Great Emperor, their situation did not change much. At least, they will get a moment of peace and prosperity. Unfortunately, said Great Emperor has to eventually leave.

Then, the humans will strike again with tremendous force and once again weakened the demon race.

And if their Great Emperor showed any kind of ambition to increase the power and influence of the demon race, all the Emperor Lineages will take out the Emperor Artifacts, wake up the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables to besieged such Emperor.

If the Demon Emperor is powerful enough, he or she could barely resist such attack and protect their race. If not, they will either be killed or forced into exile.

Moreover, the human race will take advantage of these situations to destroy the Emperor Scriptures of the Demon Race and steal their Emperor Artifacts. Even if they cannot use it, they will not let the demon race have it.

Because of the plight of the race, many wise demons decided to use a more subtle approach to alleviate the current situation. So, they try to incorporate into Human Race's culture and society.

Despite how barbaric they are by nature, the demon race decided to control their nature and learn how to refine pills, talismans, and weapons. They hoped that doing business and selling some rare resources only available on the north would be helpful.

Unfortunately, the human race did not accept their gesture. The concept "not my race must be an enemy' has been engrained in the soul of the human race.

As such, they would do anything possible to squeeze out the demon race from the business world. And when it comes to buying rare northern resources, they will do anything from threat to stealing to reduce the buying price.

This kind of thing went on for billions of years–ever since the end of the Ancient Emperor Era.

After so many years and so many attempts, the demon race decided that the best way to solve their situation is to either migrate to another Heaven Will World or cultivate an Eternal Emperor.

Migrating was not an option as too much would be involved. They would need a powerful Space Treasure to carry the entire race to other World Communities.

Then, there is the issue of whether the human race would intervene and prevent them from doing so. However, this problem can be dealt with as long as a Great Emperor becomes in charge of the migration.

However, other problems aroused. They needed to find the right Heaven Will World where the demon race could prosper. If the human race or another race is the dominant one once again in that world, then, they would just suffer more.

Finally, they also need to receive the blessing or acceptance of the original habitants of the world. Even if they find a world that is dominated by the Demon race, it did not mean that they would be alright.

By nature, the demon race is very territorial. Because of so many different kinds of races that make the "demon" race, infighting and slaughter is as much a problem for them as it is for humans.

The only reason that the demon race in the Myriad Emperor World is different is because of their desperate situation. In other Worlds, this issue will magnify millions of times.

Despite all the possible hardships, the demon race still decided to make this plan one of their final retreats in case they one day faced extermination at the hands of a human race Great Emperor.

Nevertheless, the second plan of cultivating an Eternal Emperor is still the best choice for their current situation.

Unfortunately, this was more difficult for the demon race than imagined. Over the countless Eras, no Eternal Emperor has been born from their race.

There may have been a few before the Nulle Era but that is not yet confirmed. And there is a reason for that.

The Demon race relied too much on their bloodlines for cultivation. With a noble enough bloodline, as long as the resources are enough, it is quite easy for an Imperial Demon race to cultivate to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

They do not need to have a high state of mind, powerful Dao Heart, and unimaginable Wills. All they need are resources.

However, this is where the problem comes. To become an Eternal Emperor, all of these things are needed, and they have to reach the absolute peak.

Because of this fact, a few demon leaders wanted to change to human race cultivation in an attempt to cultivate an Eternal Emperor, however, the majority of them disdain to do this.

The demon race respected bloodline to the core of their soul; To them, bloodline superiority was above everything else–even their death and destruction.

This disagreement led to the separation of the Golden Crow Race from the Demon Race as they advocated the cultivation of the human race system.

Another method proposed was to create a new and better Cultivation System than the current Bloodline One. So, many Great Emperors deduced a perfect bloodline system that involved refining the mind, Dao Heart, and Will.

Regrettably, the majority of demons were used to relying on their bloodlines to cultivate. They did not want to change to a more complicated and troublesome method.

As for the true Heaven Chosens of their race, although they cultivated the new method, it did mean that they would immediately become Eternal Emperor. After all, the human race has been using such a system far longer than them, and yet, only 7 Eternal Emperors have appeared.

In the end, the demon race realized that bloodline was the core of their races, and if they wanted to solve their problems, bloodline was the only thing needed to solve the problem.

So, they gathered together to begin Project Innate Atavism. Knowing that the demon race was created by Innate Demons based on their bloodlines, they studied the secret of their bloodline to revert back to their ancestor and create an Innate Demon.

This person would be the pinnacle of bloodlines. With such talent, it should be possible to become an Eternal Emperor without all the other required stuff. Even that person failed, once he or she becomes a Great Emperor after their bloodline is baptized by the Heaven Will, they would not be inferior to any Eternal Emperor. freewebnovel.cσ๓

The project started during the Middle Emperor Era. Unfortunately, since then, the demon race has never had a Great Emperor. So, it took them two eras, countless generations of wise men, countless experiments, countless sacrifices before succeeding.

Finally, Young Master Ao Shen was finally born. A proud and noble Dragon: an Innate Demon.

…

Ao Shen finally managed to control himself. He could not help it to be so excited. Although the demon race succeeded in cultivating him into a True Dragon, he always felt that his bloodline was incomplete; it was missing something.

So, he wanted to find a way to make it up but he did not how.

However, the moment that the news of the secret realm spread, his intuition told him that the method he was searching for was inside. So, he sent the demon race on a mission and ordered them to do whatever it took to acquire the fortunate encounter at the core.

Knowing what was at stake, the True Monarchs of the demon race did not hesitate to ruin their lifespan in an attempt to reach the core and get what's inside.

Luckily, they succeeded.

'It seems that fate is on my side,' thought Ao Shen.. Then, he looked at the Chameleon and said calmly: "Hand it over."

Chapter 366 - Heavy Responsibility

After hearing Ao Shen's words, the chameleon did not hesitate to hand over a small bronze boat to him that seemed to have many cracks on the surface.

This small boat was the reason he was able to break through the array of the Dao Opening Sect and Wang Wei's Quasi-Emperor Void Blocking Talisman. Although he knew how valuable such a treasure was, he did not dare steal it.

After receiving the boat, Ao Shen nodded in satisfaction before saying: "I know that you are the only True Monarch of your Chameleon Tribe. After what you did today, the Tribal Council will reward you and your tribes greatly."

The Chameleon Chief bowed politely before rapidly exiting the room. Ao Shen just glanced at him before focusing on the vial of blood. After one last look, he placed it into his space ring.

He could not absorb it now as this would bring visions between Heaven and Earth. And once that happened, the human race might discover him. Then, he took out a small golden orb while in deep thought.

After succeeding in his bloodline transformation, Ao Shen not only inherited the surname "Ao" but also inherited a cultivation technique, a few Divine Abilities, and memories of ancient times.

In these memories, he learned many secrets regarding the reason that the Null Era occurred: the battle between Acquire and Innate Lifes that spread to countless Heaven Will Worlds.

A battle that covered the entire lower dimension.

One secret was particularly important to him. He learned that Innate Lifes could not absorb the Heaven Will to become Great Emperors.

After getting that information, Ao Shen was worried thinking that all the efforts of their demon race were for nothing. However, after digging deeper, he realized that things were not as simple as he previously thought.

The reason that Innate Lifes could not absorb the Heaven Will was not that they were born from Heaven and Earth; it was because of Heavenly Dao. During the [Innate-Acquire War], every single individual, every single race, every single world has to choose a side: there was no exception–including Heavenly Dao.

The Myriad Emperor World–which was the place the entire war originated–was the first world to choose a side: it chose Acquired Life. As a result of this, Innate Lifeforms could not absorb the Heaven Will.

At the pinnacle of the war, Great Emperors and Innate Demon Gods did whatever possible to convince the Heavenly Dao of Heaven Will Worlds to choose their side.

The Innate Demon Gods were fascinated by the prospect of becoming a Great Emperor and having access to the Grand Dao Source. Adding to that their already heaven-defying bloodlines, those Innate Great Emperors were cream of the top.

By the end of the war, only a few Heavenly Dao could still remain neutral.

After thinking about this, Ao Shen frowned as he muttered: "Heavenly Dao is ruthless and the epitome of indifference; it is only a bunch of laws designed to operate the world in a standard and controlled manner.

"How could it choose a side? Although it can have some slight favoritism to something or someone, only if they benefit the entire world as a whole.

"Unless it gained sentience! However, if that was true, the Myriad Emperor World would be completely different than it currently was. Additionally, many Great Emperors would have noticed if it had gained sentience."

After pondering for a few minutes and not coming up with an answer, Ao Shen did not continue on the subject. Once he is more powerful he can find the answer to these secrets.

According to his plans, as long as he has enough Merit, Heavenly Dao should not stop him from accepting the Heaven Will. The question is how to get enough merit.

As he had more important things to do, Ao Shen places these thoughts at the back of his head. He looked at the cracked boat in his hand after putting the golden light away.

"It's time for me to leave."

He rushed to a secret room inside the mansion and activated a formation. A door appeared and Ao Shen stepped into it. A few seconds later, he found himself in a small world with a few people waiting for him.

They were the Four Head Chiefs: Golden Lion Chieftess, Battle Ape Chief, Golden Roc Chief, and Black Tiger Chief.

"Did you succeed?" asked the Golden Lion Chieftess, to which, Ao Shen replied simply by nodding his head.

A peaceful smile appeared on her face before handing him two things: one ring and a jade talisman. Ao Shen used his Divine Sense to check the space ring and a slight surprise flashed across his eyes.

Inside was a very large space full of white mountains. However, these were not real mountains but ones made of origin source.

"The origin source is mainly for you as an energy source for the Immortal Bronze Boat. However, there should be more than enough for you to cultivate for a while after you arrived."

Ao Shen nodded as he guessed that the Chiefs must have blackmailed the Golden Crow Tribe to get so many resources. The demon race was too poor to use so much on him.

"You should be able to arrive at the closest World Community to ours with no problem," said the chieftess. "The talisman contained some basic information of the Heaven Will World known as Martial Hegemony World that led the world community."

She paused for a moment, then a determined light flashed in her eyes.

"No one will go to serve as your Dao Protector. As probably the only True Dragon existing in the lower dimension, you will be sought after by any world.

"So, be prepared to be enemy of the entire world and be constantly hunted down."

Ao Shen was not surprised by this decision; this was the best way to temper himself into a truly terrifying Heaven Chosen. During all the life and death battles, he can grow rapidly.

And if he survives, no, when he survives, he will reach his full potential.

So, he looked at the things handed to him. Ao Shen could guess that the Golden Crow Tribe would not give all these origin sources. Most likely, the council paid 50 to 60% of it.

And with the current situation of the demon race, this was a very large number.

So, he sighed internally. Thinking about how many people were relying on him for the future, Ao Shen felt a heavy burden placed on his shoulder.

'No matter what, I must survive and come back; I must become an Eternal Emperor.'

With a determined look, he activated the bronze boat and began his voyage to another World Community.

"Chieftess, is it really alright to sent him away without any Dao Protector?" asked the Black Tiger Chief. "After all, even Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables will be interested in an Innate Demon."

"You don't have to worry about this. Many Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables of our race have secretly planted savings means on him–although they will only activate in case someone of the same level acted on him."

"What about lower levels? What if he dies at the hands of other Heaven Chosens in the Martial Hegemony World?"

"Then he is not the destined one we have been waiting for," replied the Golden Lion Chieftess calmly.

"If he cannot survive this experience, it can only mean that he does not have the luck to become an Emperor."

…

Inside a cave, Wang Wei suddenly opened his eyes and sighed deeply. He looked at his Sea of Consciousness with a frown. He had just tried to combine his Chaos Flame with his Good Fortune Flame in an attempt to refine his soul into a Primordial Spirit.

But he failed.

"In the end, I still have to rely on the Origin Pill Flame Scripture. Hopefully, my plan works otherwise things will get complicated and troublesome." freēwēbnovel.com

He then checked the Communication Talisman that he received from his third senior sister telling him that it was time to leave. Apparently, the True Monarchs of the Origin Pill Dao Sect were leaving and it was not safe to stay here alone.

After taking notes on the meeting location she sent him, he checked the talisman from his clone. It mainly contained information about his encounter with Huo Fenghuang, the memories of their battles and interactions, and his analysis of her.

For once, the clone was not lazy and did some work.

Once he was done, Wang Wei turned back into Lou Cheng before flying away to meet the rest of the group. Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the place where everybody first entered the Secret Realm.

He saw the boat belonging to the Origin Pill Dao Sect waiting for him. As he landed near the boat, he first noticed that the number of people coming back had drastically decreased.

Most likely dead.

And if someone paid close attention, they would realize that the majority of these casualties were people from Fu Caiyun's faction.

'It seems that the sect did a great job.'

Originally, Wang Wei wanted to kill these people himself but soon realized that it would be easier to be detected if it was him.. So, he contacted his Fate Shadow to do the dirty work for him.

Chapter 367 - Saint Alchemist

"Fifth junior brother, are you alright?" asked Lan Ling as she looked at Wang Wei up down, checking to see if there is any visible wound on his body.

Immediately, Wang Wei internally frowned; he could detect that her behavior was abnormal. Although Lan Ling is a caring person she never displayed it so openly.

Wang Wei also noticed a surprised look from his first senior brother. Obviously, he also found her behavior odd.

Although he knew that the power of the Infatuation Flower was not completely sealed, it was more than enough for now. Additionally, since Lou Cheng also has feelings for Lan Ling, this flower will benefit the two of them greatly.

They just have to wait for Wang Wei to leave.

With a smile on his face, Wang Wei replied: "I'm more than fine. As you can see, I had many opportunities and my cultivation had drastically risen."

It was then that Lan Ling realized that his fifth junior brother had entered the Divine Body Realm in just 200 years. This kind of time placed him on equal value with top geniuses.

Although not comparable to these Heaven Chosens, however, how many people out of trillions of cultivators have the right to hold that title?

With Lou Cheng's previous talent, he was considered a genius cultivator but nowhere near top genius. According to his previous displayed talent, it would have taken him between 800 years to 1000 years before entering the Divine Body Realm.

"It seemed that your luck is very good fifth brother," said Wan Luo with a sarcastic tone, and a little hidden envy.

"Indeed, my luck seemed to have increased as of late," replied Wang Wei with a calm smile.

Wan Luo snorted lightly after hearing this and did not say anything more. Even Lan Ling just gave a slight smile to Wang Wei before continuing to wait.

After seeing this, Wang Wei was a little relieved. He was truly afraid that the Infatuation Flower would drastically change her personality and draw attention to his cheap master.

A few minutes later, Ji Yulou arrived with a pale complexion, obviously injured. As a disciple of Fu Caiyun, he did not escape the sect's assassination target.

Nevertheless, the fact that he escaped alive showed that the Ji family valued him greatly.

As Wang Wei glanced at him, he could feel a slight joy coming from Ji Yulou despite his injury, and he could guess the reason. The Ji family must be quite happy that Liu Meixiu is dead.

Wang Wei secretly shook his head at the short-sightedness of the Ji family and the circumstance of the Herd Rising Valley. If these people were not so busy infighting, they could properly raise Liu Meixiu as a Heaven Chosen to compete for the throne.

With their ability, it would not take so long for her to reach the core of this secret realm, and Wang Wei could not take advantage of the situation. As long as Liu Meixiu acquired the dragon bone and absorbed it, she would be more than qualified to compete for the throne.

And even if she failed in this generation, with her evolved Myriad Beast Physique, it should be more than enough to survive. Then, all she had to do was sealed herself and wait for a few generations to compete again.

Truth be told, Wang Wei guessed that Liu Meixiu's ruthlessness or cutthroat morality is the result of her environment. Living in such fierce competition, she probably learned at a young age that the life of the weak was as meaningless as a piece of grass on a side road.

So, to survive, she did whatever it took to survive; she had no scruples, as long as the means justified the end, she will do it.

Despite knowing this, Wang Wei did not feel bad for killing her; since she decided to live her life with such twisted philosophy, she should foresee that her end would be miserable.

Indeed, cultivators usually treat mortals as if they were nothing but ants, however, they usually restrain themselves as they know that Karma exists in this world.

If not careful, they could pay dearly for their action.

While deep in thought, Wang Wei's group soon returned to the Origin Pill Dao Sect. Wang Wei and his fellow brothers went to meet their masters to report their gains.

Ye Lao was especially pleased with Lou Cheng's progress and praised him endlessly. Wang Wei placed a polite and shy smile on his face during the entire situation before returning to his cave.

On his way back, he could feel a very gloomy aura from one of the caves; it was Fu Caiyun's. The latter is obviously furious at the loss of his people.

After returning home, Wang Wei began to reflect on his gain during this secret realm. And after pondering about it for a while, he concluded that he was not that happy,

True that he acquired the remains of an Innate Demon. However, this would only benefit him in the later stage of his cultivation.

Both his Array and Alchemy Mastery have drastically increased in the past 200 years, thus increasing his foundation. He even create the embryo of a powerful technique based on Lou Cheng's Innate Talent that would probably help even one day when he becomes a Paragon.

Nevertheless, the true purpose of all this planning was not achieved. He thought the [Flame Controlling Scripture] was related to his objective in infiltrating this sect, and by learning its secret, he might quickly achieve his objective.

But he was wrong.

After thinking about this, he took a deep breath to calm down. He was not in a rush, however, if things could be achieved quicker, it would be better.

So, he decided to think of another plan.

A few hours later, after entering a deep state of mediation to clear his mind, he exhaled deeply:

"It seems that I should be a little bolder."

The next day, Wang Wei directly went to the Testing Hall to change his Alchemy Grade.

With little effort, he refined a Top-Level Earth Grade Pill and became a Top Tier 2 Alchemist. However, to everyone's surprise, he did stop there and asked to test to become a Tier 3 Alchemist and refine a Heaven Grade Pill.

When it comes to Tier 3 Alchemist, their status is completely different from Tier 2. For one, you do not have to pay to take the test, however, only if you pass.

Many people thought that Lou Cheng was crazy; To them, it was already a surprise that he managed to refine a Top Earth Grade Pill. Now, he wanted to refine a Heaven Grade one?

However, Wang Wei ignored them.

According to the rules, as long as he was a Top Tier 3 Alchemist, he can ask for the test. So, the people were forced to observe.

Then, another shock occurred.

Wang Wei refined a pill with 10 million divine runes.

There is a vast difference between the Earth and Heaven Grade. The best Earth Grade Pill requires 10,000 runes but the lowest Heaven Grade PIll requires 1 million, and the highest 10 million.

This was an increase of 100 fold.

This is one of the main reasons that most Alchemists stay at Tier 2 their entire lives; the difficulty was simply insane.

So, when Wang Wei refined the peak Heaven Grade Pill, all the judge members were shocked–especially given his low-level cultivation. In the early Tiers of Alchemy, it is reasonable to refine higher Tiers of pills.

However, the latter Tier requires a high cultivation level since the power of the soul is needed to engrave the runes.

The judges of the Testing Hall thought they were shocked enough but they were not prepared for what happened next.

Wang Wei or Lou Cheng asked to test to become a Tier 4 Saint Alchemist. As soon as he uttered these words, the Origin Pill Dao Sect was slightly shaken.

All the higher-ups were alarmed and many people came to watch this test; anyone with a slight political mind knew that things will be shaking up a little if he succeeded.

As such, his test was postponed for a week later to gather the necessary people. After all, this was not a simple matter.. No matter what, the status of a Saint Alchemist was very noble and required more rigid tests and standards to acquire.
