The dust settled, and w.a.n.g Wei appeared at the center of the previous attack. His body was in terrible shape, leaving only his upper torso, blood dripping from all parts of his body.
However, he did not care since he survived that terrible attack–even at the cost of severe damage to his soul.
'The good news is I prevent his Dao Will and Will Manifestation from entering my body. The bad news is there is a terrifying aura that has similar effects left in my soul.'
w.a.n.g Wei already a.n.a.lyzed the essence of such a terrible attack. Di Tian used his knowledge to create a terrible formation that borrowed the strength of Heavenly Dao itself.
Such a thing should not be easily accomplished, even with the control of Heaven Dao. However, Heavenly Dao created the current battlefield; thus, the environment retained some of its aura.
Such a small aura could not even be detected by someone as keen as w.a.n.g Wei, let alone Di Tian. However, with Di Tian having knowledge of most secrets of Heaven and Earth, he knew of its existence.
So, he used that remaining aura to leverage Heavenly Dao's power.
'That attack reached beyond the limit of the Third Cla.s.s Emperor. It probably reached 10 to 11% Grand Dao Source.'
For a moment, he was scared. If he had not acted swiftly and used all his Dao to reduce the power of that attack, he would have been annihilated. Furthermore, he guessed Heavenly Dao intervened and reduced the amount of power Di Tian could use.
possible was fine. However, some rules and regulations need to be followed during the Heaven Will Battle.
After all, Di Tian's method was as if Heavenly Dao had interfered in the battle. At other times, borrowing its power using any means possible was fine. However, some rules and regulations need to be followed during the Heaven Will Battle.
Crack!
A cracking sound echoed inside w.a.n.g Wei's Sea of Consciousness, making the s.p.a.ce tremble slightly. Without hesitation, he opened the seal from his time as the Myriad Devourer.
An intense amount of spiritual power appeared in his Sea of Consciousness; he did not hesitate to use them to remove Heavenly Dao's aura before repairing his Primordial Spirit.
Finally, he used the rest of the spiritual power and converted it into life energy to regenerate his missing limbs. w.a.n.g Wei then gazed at Di Tian, who was breathing heavily.
He was not surprised by his state since using such borrowed power was not easy; it should have placed a heavy burden on his soul and body to control that formation.
w.a.n.g Wei believed there should have been some backlash for using that formation. However, with Di Tian's knowledge, he should know how to remove or reduce its effect.
'Creation Dao–it's worthy of its spot as one of the best,' thought w.a.n.g Wei with a sneer. He mobilized his Dao:
[Order: Only people who have pa.s.sed their trial can control any Outlaw or Supreme Outlaw Dao.]
[Disorder: None required since I'm only reinforcing the fundamental rules of Heaven and Earth.]
As soon as w.a.n.g Wei finished, the rules or laws between Heaven and Earth changed. From now on, no one who did not pa.s.s the trial can use any of the Daos.
As expected, the person who suffered was Di Tian. His aura changed as he lost access to the power of Creation. His Heavenly Dao Eye disappeared, and the Creation Law in his Law Altar disappeared.
However, this was not the full extent of his suffering. His Samsara Dao was one of the Outlaw Dao, but he could only use it because of his status as [Father of Emperors].
So, under w.a.n.g Wei's Order Technique, he discovered its power was drastically decreased. For some reason, it was not completely erased, but its current scale was less than a thousandth of its previous power.
'At this rate, I would die and lose this battle,' thought Di Tian, oddly remaining calm despite his current predicament.
'Is it time to reveal that trump card?' he pondered. 'No, my intuition tells me something unexpected might happen if I use it early. Furthermore, if I do, I should kill him as swiftly as possible.'
As a powerful cultivator, he knew to trust his instinct since it was a manifestation of his control of his destiny.
'In that case, I have to use my backup plan.'
"I have a gift for you," suddenly said Di Tian, making w.a.n.g Wei frown. He immediately felt something wrong but did not feel any danger. However, nothing good could come out of the upcoming situation.
Di Tian waved his hand to manifest a strange and complicated rune.
Swis.h.!.+
A bright light flashed before him, summoning something. Immediately, w.a.n.g Wei released a terrible killing intent that made even the Yin Dimension a hundred times colder.
"You don't want to do this."
"But I do," replied the Samsara Lord with a sneer. Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei's eyes became colder by the second.
"Release him, and you don't have to suffer my wrath."
"Oh, I'm so scared," replied Di Tian, refusing to admire his heart skipped a beat. Then, he calmly looked at the captured Li Jun.
"I'm sure you're wondering how I got to him."
"When he went to get the War Talisman," replied w.a.n.g Wei, not giving him the satisfaction of showing off. He figured out many things and placed many pieces together in such a short time.'
He once found the behavior of some of his ancestors strange. He asked, but everyone denied it and said some other stuff occupied them. w.a.n.g Wei did not pay much attention to them. After all, these people have lived a long life and have many secrets.
So, Heaven knows why they behaved the way they did.
But now, he knew why–they knew of the things Di Tian left on Li Jun's body but did not tell him. They probably argued about whether they should do so and intervened. However, given the precedents Qiyuan and Sword Empress left behind to cultivate genius in the most cruel way possible, he was not surprised they remained quiet.
Furthermore, if they told him, Heavenly Dao would consider their actions as interfering in the Heaven Will Battle, leading to severe consequences.
w.a.n.g Wei took a deep breath to calm down, trying to a.s.sess the situation and find a way out.
"Yes, I should know someone like you could deduce the truth even with limited information," said Di Tian calmly. "However, I should warn you not to make any movements that I can interpret as suspicious. We don't want anything to happen, don't we?"
w.a.n.g Wei gazed at him. "So far, our battle has only been a battle of Dao, for the sole chance at transcending time and death. If you do this, everything now will be personal."
"As I previously said, things become personal the moment you destroy my Sleepers," replied Di Tian with a cold face."They were the only true family I had left. They were a symbol of my past, a representation of all my suffering through countless reincarnations.
"But you killed 95% of them. So, this battle has long been personal."
"I have met your wife," uttered w.a.n.g Wei. "She made a deal with me to spare your life if I was the final winner of this battle. And since I owe her Karma, I intend to keep my word.
"But if you do this, there is no turning back."
"Your arrogance disgusts me," said Di Tian. "Do I need you to let me survive?"
w.a.n.g Wei released his clenched fists. Anyone who knows him can understand the calmer he is, the angrier he is. And the scarier he becomes.
According to his previous plan, even if he wins this battle, he would not annihilate Di Tian's soul and allow him to continue to reincarnate. He could probably survive another nine rounds of Samsara with his new and improved Soul Quality.
Furthermore, depending on how much help his Perfect Foundation grants him, he even plans to help his wife repay the karma of giving him and Wu Hong her understanding of Perfection.
However, now, his mind was only full of anger, brutality, and savagery. He did not like this side of him since it's easier to get out of control. But now, he could not care about such a thing.
"What exactly do you want?" he asked, his aura and temperament even calmer than before. His subtle change made Di Tian frown as he felt a terrible volcano, slowly dormant and prepared to explode with a catastrophic result.
However, it was too late to return, and he did not wish to. He will win this battle–no matter what he has to do or how far he has to go.
"Great question," he said. "You have two choices: Choice 1– forfeit this battle, and I will release him.
"Choice 2: Abandon your long brotherhood and watch him die. Show him that your pursuit of Dao means more to him than your so-called bond.
"Now, make your choice."
