Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 902 The Vast Difference

After Ao Shen killed the first person, he looked at the Immortal Venerable behind him. He instantly realized the opponent was nothing but an ordinary cultivator and not an Insurgent; his purpose was only to add to this formation.

The devil cultivator's heart immediately skipped a beat after noticing Ao Shen's gaze. He felt like he was facing an apex predator that truly stood at the pinnacle of the universe.

His battle instinct kicked in, and he mobilized the vast Immortal Qi inside his body. Well, he tried to. Ao Shen controlled his Chaos Innate Law, now sublimated into Heaven Law, and released a subtle fluctuation.

The face of the devil cultivator changed as he discovered he could no longer control the energy inside his body. Then, Ao Shen flicked his finger to generate a terrible force.

Boom!

The Immortal Venerable exploded into a blood mist. Ao Shen ensured the death was as brutal as ever and visually stimulating.

[Dark Water of Filth]

[Soul Severing Sword]

[Earth Devouring Mountain]

[Blood Sucking Wood]

Under the evil young man's command, the formation did not immediately collapse. On the contrary, they went on the offensive, using the remaining elements.

[Chaos Conversation]

After these attacks reached Ao Shen, they did not have the desired effects. Instead, he controlled them and converted them into a trace of Chaos Energy that he stored inside his body.

"You're next," he said to the Earth World Devil cultivator, making the latter pale. Ao Shen teleported before him and hit him with his delicate-looking palm. However, the cultivator knew how terrifying such gentle hands were.

Bang!

The devil cultivator was not immediately annihilated. At the last minute, he summoned an Emperor Artifact that resembled a blood bead. The artifact released a blood-red shield that blocked most of the damage to this attack.

"It's futile," commented Ao Shen before making a clenching motion.

A terrifying force squeezed the devil cultivator from the left and right. His shield did not last a second before exploding into a blood pool.

Afterward, Ao Shen focused on the latter's Inner World. As long as this world is not destroyed, the Dao Ancestor is not really dead and can revive itself.

So, the dragon opened his mouth and swallowed the entire world, generating more Chaos Power.

[Dragon Roar]

A supreme and noble roar echoed between Heaven and Earth; it was the sound of a beast declaring its superiority to all sentient beings. With this roar, the Earth Immortal Venerable's body disintegrated into a million motes of light scattered in the clouds.

At this point, these people realized this plan was a catastrophic failure. So, these cunning devil cultivators immediately chose to run away.

"Do you think you can come and leave as you please?" sneered Ao Shen. The space around them suddenly changed. These devil cultivators soon discovered no matter how far they ran or in which direction, they would find themselves a few meters around the dragon.

"Lord Ao Shen, there is no need to continue this senseless slaughter," hurriedly said the evil young man. "We made a mistake and acknowledged our fault. If you let us leave, I promise we will send the demon race a hefty compensation."

"Like I said, you're a warning to the rest of the world."

"Lord Ao Shen, don't push things too far. A cornered rabbit will bite back even when facing a lion," said the evil young man with a grave tone.

"Rabbit? You're not even ants in my eyes."

An immense anger flashed in the evil young man's eyes before becoming extremely cold.

"You leave me with no choice."

"Now, I'm intrigued. Hopefully, your next move can make this battle interesting."

The evil young man felt even more humiliated, but he knew there was no point in such an emotion–especially in this situation.

"Let's do it," he ordered the remaining survivor. However, no one responded to him even after a few seconds.

"Do you think you have a choice? He had already sentenced us to death. No one can leave this place alive if we don't use some drastic measure."

The survivors gritted their teeth before rushing toward the evil young man; they turned into red lights before fusing into his body.

Soon afterward, his body mutated.

He grew to more than ten meters tall. His upper body was full of so many muscles that it looked disgusting with all the green veins.

Furthermore, his upper body was so much bigger than his lower torso; he could be described as having short and thin legs with a tiger's back and a bear's torso.

Lastly, the evil young man's eyes were utterly dark, releasing a menacing aura. His intelligence seemed to be fleeting for a moment before regaining consciousness.

"[Blasphemous Transformation]? I thought his technique was lost during the Devil Era."

The evil young man did not answer; this technique was not lost, but the devil cultivators hid to prevent other factions from using it as an excuse to eradicate them.

After all, although this technique can boost strength, most people will lose their minds after using it, turning into mindless killing machines. During the Devil Era, countless devil cultivators used this forbidden technique when fighting the devil race.

One of the most common tactics was to drop a mindless,

transformed individual into the camp of the devil race and let them slaughter until they were put down.

"However, if you think this is enough to stop me, you're gravely mistaken."

"This is just the beginning," said the evil young man in an eerie voice that was composed of many individuals. A dark red sword appeared in his hand, releasing a strange fluctuation.

"Dao Will Artifact? How is that possible?" muttered Ao Shen, genuinely surprised. Dao Will Artifacts are something only Pseudo and True Eternal Emperors can leave for their faction.

These artifacts are often used to permanently kill Great Emperors.

However, under the Balance Mechanism of Heavenly Dao, the power in these artifacts will slowly dissipate with time.

With the foundation of the devil cultivators, they should not have such a thing. Even if they did, the artifact should have long become useless.

"I see," said Ao Shen. "You guys found a Dao Will Artifact and used countless human sacrifices to keep the power from dissipating. You hide very well, but this will not change anything."

"That remains to be seen."

The evil young man slashed his sword, creating a black slash, boosting his strength to the limit of possibility with the Dao Will Artifact. However, Ao Shen calmly raised his palm and blocked the attack.

'This attack barely reached the threshold of an Eternal Attack.

Moreover, it's an Energy-Based Attack.'

Ao Shen only took a moment to analyze the situation. After this weird mutation or fusion, his opponent's Inner World should have strengthened or sublimated. However, his mind was constantly on the verge of collapsing, making it impossible to control his Grand Dao Source.

So, he converted his Inner World into an Energy Producing Base, using more of an Immortal Venerable way of battling.

Ao Shen frowned as he saw a white mark on his palm.

'Primarch truly cannot compare to an Emperor,' he thought. No matter the class, Emperors have an extremely high immunity toward Energy/Qi-based attacks. Furthermore, they can adapt.

For example, if an Insurgent Qi could do damage to an Emperor before, they could take some time to absorb that special Qi and become immune to it.

Unfortunately, Primarchs did not have such an ability.

'Luckily, my law is Chaos; I can integrate everything for my use.'

Ao Shen focused on his opponent. A strange fluctuation emanated from his body, and he flicked his finger:

[Great Cutting Technique]

Swish!

Before the evil young man could react, the right part of his body separated from the rest.

"Dao Will...How is that possible?" muttered the devil cultivator; however, Ao Shen only responded with a sneer. He was a unique Primarch in some ways.

Innate Demon Gods have a powerful body to rely on after becoming Primarchs. However, the same cannot be said for humans. Even with powerful bloodlines, humans are still inferior to Innate Demon Gods in this aspect. (not counting body refiners.)

So, how to make up for this weakness?

The answer is Dao Will, also called Law Will. Humans who previously acquired the Duyi Realm can acquire their Dao Will after becoming 6-Star Primarchs.

Meanwhile, Innate Demon Gods do not have cultivation systems and rely entirely on their bloodline and comprehension of their Innate Laws. As such, they cannot enter the Duyi Realm.

Adding the fact that 99% of them were too proud to cultivate any human cultivation system, Ao Shen's case is indeed rare since he's one of the few Innate Demons with a Dao Will.

"Okay, I have proven my point. You can die now."

"No," roared the evil young man as he mobilized his Dao Will Artifact, even summoning his Inner World to surround and protect him. Unfortunately, Ao Shen's attack bypassed his defensive measures and instantly annihilated his body and soul.

Finally, the dragon swallowed the remaining mutated Inner World.

'With the acquired Chaos Power, I can temper my body to a higher level.'

Greed flashed in Ao Shen's eyes as he wished he could hunt countless Immortal Tier Devil Cultivators. The technique he created to convert everything into Chaos Power is very precious, and he wished he could use it without restraint.

Luckily, he could control himself.
