Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1324 The Frustrating Woman

Wang Wei's lips twitched. He knew this day would come, and he also knew he could no longer delay it. He sighed deeply before saying: "One minute." He condensed a talisman in the void to send to Red Mask. He had decided to stay here and even enter his cultivation retreat in the Origin Seal Continent. As such, some of his work needed to be transferred to this place.

"Alright. I'm ready."

Wu Hong waved his hand, and they teleported to another area. Wang Wei looked around, and everything was either black or dark purple. "Primordial Chaos?"

"A replication," Wu Hong explained. "We're in the Battle Training Area I've built." This place was not the same as the Primordial Chaos around the Origin Seal Continent but more similar to the Battle Pagoda from the lower dimension.

"To prevent you from complaining that I bully you, my cultivation will be the same," she uttered, and her aura changed. Wu Hong's cultivation dropped to 80% Grand Dao Source, her fleshy body to the Adult Fiendgod Realm and the Third Heaven, and her soul was that of a Paragon. Wang Wei noticed that even her willpower was the same quantity as him.

Of course, despite how level the playing field looked, Wang Wei did not believe for a second he was on par with her. After all, Wu Hong's comprehension of the Dao had reached the end, and she still had all her fighting experience. So, the battle would never be fair unless she sealed these memories. However, that was unnecessary since such an act would defeat the purpose of this training.

"Are you ready?" she asked, and Wang Wei nodded. "Then, let's start."

They rushed toward each other, showing their aggressive nature. Wang Wei had no hesitation as he punched her in the face. However, his attack failed as the terrifying force behind him was immediately sealed once it reached close to Wu Hong, who proceeded to slap him.

Wang Wei evaded. However, this attack was fake, bypassing his intuition and ability to see the future. Luckily, his reaction was excellent, so when the hand was about to touch his face, he exploded his head as a form of attack.

Wang Wei's cruelness surprised Wu Hong slightly, but she immediately regained her focus. She was about to use this opportunity to continue her attack when she detected something: a time attack. — to be precise, an attack from the past.

Her years of experience allowed her to understand what had happened. Wang Wei did not just blow his head. He used his Time Dao to send some of his blood to a few seconds in the past before growing a body/clone from that drop of blood. The clone then attacked Wu Hong across space-time.

Wu Hong did not move to look at the source of the attack. A rune appeared above her head, sealing the surrounding space-time continuum. However, her previous momentum was gone, and Wang Wei had enough time to regrow his head. Or so he thought.

As soon as his head regenerated, he discovered a terrifying curse inside his body. When did he get cursed? It did not take him long to figure it out — the blood clone. He did not know when, but Wu Hong had used that clone from the past as a medium to curse him.

He reacted by using his Yin-Yang Dao to change the curse into a benediction. Of course, his primary problem is not the curse but the subtle True Will inside. If not for that power, his natural immunity would have eliminated that curse on its own.

While Wang Wei was dealing with internal troubles, he still had external problems as well. Wu Hong suddenly appeared before him, and her body moved like a graceful swan as she used a somersault kick. Wang Wei crossed his arms to block, but as soon as he came into contact with her, he found his terrifying strength and resilience drastically weakening.

Crack!

The bones in his arms, which were powerful enough to serve as pillars to hold together an entire world bigger than the lower dimension, cracked under the force of that kick.

'Her True Will application is even better than mine,' Wang Wei thought. He tried his best to prevent Wu Hong's True WIll from entering his body and permanently injuring him. Wu Hong's attack was a two-hit kicking combo, so she followed it with a second kick. However, Wang Wei knew he could not block that second attack, so he opened his mouth to blow.

[Fated Destruction: Wind of Annihilation]

With this attack, Wang Wei not only used his Fate Dao to utilize Destruction Dao, he also included a bit of Destruction Dao from his sub-Dao. A terrifying black wind with the power to reduce everything to ash emanated from his mouth. Sadly, it was useless. The black wind extinguished itself once it reached Wu Hong's foot.

Luckily, Wang Wei never planned for this attack to work. The black wind's primary purpose was to distract his opponent, and the other was to tear apart the surrounding void, allowing him to teleport away from that devastating kick. It also bought him more than enough time to regenerate his bones.

'What an annoying person to fight,' Wang Wei complained as he teleported about 30 light-years away. 'She builds a perfect domain around her with her Sealing Dao. Anything that comes close will be instantly sealed without her even having to act.'

As Wang Wei was analyzing how to deal with the situation, his face suddenly changed. His body was immobile. 'Damn it, I was played.' The curse inside his body was a seal disguised as a curse. While he was distracted removing the curse, the seal had already taken root.

'The worst part is this seal target [Essence, Qi, and Spirit].' Wang Wei's body was now useless; the energies inside his body had shut down — including his soul power, and even his mind had difficulty working.

Wu Hong had a smirk on her face as she realized her plan had worked. She waved her hand to manifest a colossal hand composed of runes. Wang Wei knew he would immediately lose if that attack landed, but it seemed that there was nothing he could do.

'This is not fair,' Wang Wei screamed in his mind. That hand contained a seal for all his Daos and all his techniques. If Wu Hong had not known him intimately, how could she have created such a seal?

"I know what you're thinking, but I did not create this seal based on previous knowledge about you," she explained. "Instead, it's based on information I've gathered since this battle started. As for how I gather so much information in such a short period? Well, I'll tell you after I beat you."

Wang Wei was unwilling. The battle hadn't started for five minutes, and he was about to lose. He couldn't accept that. Whether it was for his pride as a man or as a mighty warrior, he would not accept such a result. Defeat is fine. He expected to be defeated. However, he could not be beaten in such a disgraceful manner.

Countless thoughts flashed in his mind, deducing a plan for the situation. Then, at the last moment before the palm hit him, Wang Wei's body released a terrifying aura, followed by bleeding in all orifices. He moved his hand and punched the big hand into oblivion.

[Fate Mimicry: Ji Lanfang]

A picture of a slovenly dressed young swordsman with a wine gourd appeared above Wang Wei before fusing with him. His aura then changed from a supreme being who plays with fate on a whim to an almighty that embodies the concept of absolute speed.

Wang Wei's tattered and bloody body appeared before Wu Hong and punched. An exploding sound echoed in the void, followed by her right hand exploding. Wang Wei was so fast that even her potent and passive domain could not react in time to seal his strength.

However, her eyes were calm.

'Interesting. He knew he could not defeat me with his existing techniques, so he created one,' she calmly analyzed. 'He created a method to use his [Essence, Qi, and Spirit Flower] as a boost.' Previously, Wang Wei only used the abilities of these flowers, but now, he was using them themselves to boost his essence, qi, and spirit. Of course, the consequence of this technique is these flowers will enter a state of 'withering' afterward and will need resources before they can return to normal and use their abilities.

Wang Wei raised his hand for a second punch, but he immediately discovered, to his horror, his speed was dramatically slower than before. 'She sealed my speed? When? How?' Divination revealed the answer: she used the karma of him destroying her arms to seal his speed.

With a thought, Wang Wei removed that karmic connection. Sadly, this was more than enough time for Wu Hong. She teleported away from him while building a domain around her with countless methods to seal his speed. Wang Wei's lips twitched as he noticed more than a hundred million different methods of sealing his speed, and those were the ones he could recognize.

"Has anyone ever told you that fighting you is frustrating," Wang Wei complained.

"I've built a reputation for that," Wu Hong calmly replied. "All those battle maniacs don't want to fight me despite my well-known strength due to how frustrating it is to fight me," she proudly explained.

"Come on," she continued. "This is just the warm-up."
