Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

----

\'That direction…,\' thought Wang Wei. He detected the trembling originated from the room where they kept the White Shadow Cat captive.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of something breaking became louder with each passing second. Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to check the room and saw how the White Shadow Cat was in the process of destroying the Sealing Formation.

\'We don\'t have much time,\' thought Wang Wei with a severe expression. His first instinct was to run away, but he knew he had to do something; otherwise, they wouldn\'t reach far.

So, he thought of reinforcing the array to buy enough time. However, he soon shook his head; affecting an Emperor Formation was behind his ability. 

In his early years, he studied Innate Formation to better understand the Good Fortune of Heaven and Earth, thus improving his Creation Dao. However, he was still out of his league for things like an Emperor Formation.

"The Heaven and Earth Rune Mountain," suddenly said Wu Hong and Wang Wei\'s eyes lit up. The Human Array Ancestor refined a mountain made of runes as his Proving Dao Artifact. So, it was the perfect thing for this situation.

Wang Wei no longer hesitated and waved his hand to create a towering mountain full of runes and symbols written on them. He immediately sighed after seeing this creation, as it was nothing compared to the original.

His mountain was small in comparison, and its essence was nothing compared to the original. But, even such a false copy made his complexion pale, and blood dripped from his nose.

Wang Wei waved his hand to send the mountain into the room where the White Shadow Cat was located, ordering it to reinforce the seal formation.

"Let\'s go," said Wang Wei as he created an immense amount of life energy to heal his injury. The two flew toward the Transmission Array, and as expected, the battle outside had already cracked the formation.

However, Wang Wei created the Heaven and Earth Rune Mountain to help fix it. He would love to use another method or creation to teleport him away from this situation. Sadly, his power was far from enough. 

Only by using this Emperor Tier Transmission Array and maybe even improving upon it would he have a chance to bypass the Void Blockage created by the Innate Demon Gods.

Without wasting any time, Wang Wei began to operate the mountain. He was now only focused on finding a way out of this place and sending his wife away.

A few seconds into repairing the formation, he suddenly stopped and muttered, "Something is wrong."

He looked deeply at the formation, trying to discover what was wrong. However, his emotions were fluctuating so intently that even the two jades could not help.

"The formation," pointed out Wu Hong. "It should not be this fragile. And based on how it was destroyed, it\'s too abnormal, like it was man-made."

"We have a traitor," said Wang Wei as he squinted his eyes. He realized someone was working on the inside for this attack to succeed.

\'I should have immediately thought of that.\'

Wang Wei shook his head and knew this was not the time to be thinking about that. Now that he knew of the traitor, the situation had become even more dangerous and unpredictable.

\'Who betrayed me? And why would they do it?\' As soon as he asked himself this question, a figure appeared in Wang Wei\'s mind, but he quickly denied it–it was impossible to be him.

"Watch out," yelled a beautiful voice, and Wang Wei instinctively moved his body out of the way. A brilliant purple slash appeared in the location he was at.

Wang Wei looked in the direction of the slash, ignoring his missing right arm. His body trembled as he felt like crying tears of blood.

"Why?" he asked with a hoarse voice, looking at the handsome man with a purple robe, hair in an unkept and wild manner, holding a pure white sword.

"You should be able to guess why," answered the purple figure, looking at Wu Hong with tender affection hidden deep in his eyes.

"You have pushed me so far," said the purple-robe figure, his voice containing a deep melancholy. However, he soon controlled himself, returning to his state of indifference.

Wang Wei looked at his big brother, reminiscing about the past. After reaching Tier 3 Rune Body Realm, the Acquire Life has a cruel trial to acquire the title of Heaven Chosen.

They met while fighting for a rare herb, but before deciding on the final winner, a bunch of other participants ambushed them. So, they teamed up together to survive the ordeal.

And through this life-and-death experience, they became closer. And on a whim, they decided to become sworn brothers, making an oath that even though they were not born at the same time, they would die at the same time.

Since then, their bonds have drastically increased, lasting for millions of years. They even made an oath to let the Heaven Will Battle affect their brotherhood.

"I guess I should have expected this outcome," said Wang Wei, thinking about some of the strange behaviors of his brother, most of which appeared after he created Hong\'er.

"You should have."

"Fine, let\'s finally determine the winner of our battle," said Wang Wei, who had already created a new arm for himself. His body grew to a giant size, and the purple robe followed him.

Their battle was intense, but it only lasted less than 30 minutes.

Wang Wei stood above the corpse of his big brother, looking as the last light in his eyes faded away. The latter looked at him apologetically before taking one last look at Wu Hong. Then, he smiled before dying.

Wang Wei could no longer control his tears. He knew his big brother\'s battle prowess was above him. The only reason he won was the contradiction in the latter\'s heart.

Wang Wei looked at the blood in his hand as tears dripped down on the ground. His mind was almost in shambles.

"You had no choice," said a melodious voice. However, Wang Wei–who usually appreciated that voice for its beauty–cared more about its content on this occasion.

Such four simple words brought hope to an almost collapsing mind.

"Don\'t blame yourself," continued Wu Hong. "You only did what was necessary for our family to survive."

Wang Wei took a deep breath to control his trembling body. He knew this was not the time to be weak-minded. So, he prepared to deal with the Duyi Realm inside his body by discarding the infected parts and recreating them.

"What a touching scene," said a cold and sinister voice. Wang Wei\'s face immediately pale as he glanced at the entrance of the room. He saw a large black cat with white irises looking at him with a playful smug on its face.

However, under this facade were eyes full of killing intent. A killing intent so intense that it raised the room\'s temperature and prevented Wang Wei and Wu Hong from moving.

"Little ant, you almost made me fail my first mission," said the White Shadow Cat. "The worst part is I had to use so many resources and connections to make up for my failure."

Wang Wei\'s face was red as he was trying to move under the killing intent of this damn Innate Demon. However, even his mind was functioning at an extremely slow speed, so it was difficult to move his body, let alone control his energy or Dao.

"Well, as much as I would like to watch you squirm, I know not to play with my food."

The large cat raised his paw to manifest a colossal paw made of shadow. Then, without hesitation, he dropped it on Wang Wei.

Boom!

A brilliant light manifested before the two, turning into a protective shield. The cat showed slight surprise before looking at Wu Hong.

"Worthy of the only perfect creature between Heaven and Earth," commented the creature who saw how Wu Hong sacrificed her soul, body, and even [Perfect Essence] to generate that shield.

\'I heard rumors and theories that Perfection was a taboo under the control of Grand Dao itself. Now, after seeing its power, I guess it\'s true,\' thought the White Shadow Cat, his killing intent even more intense.

Then, he attacked for the second time. And this time, he summoned his Innate Bloodline Artifact–which manifested in the form of a bell around his neck–boosting his power.

Boom!

His attack only destroyed the white shield. However, Wang Wei could not move, and he watched helplessly as Wu Hong\'s body dropped to the floor.

"Noooo," he roared as he rushed toward her. He held her body and could feel all her vitality was gone. He immediately used all his abilities to save her, creating all kinds of artifacts, energy, and even other Daos to save her life.

Alas, it was futile.

"I\'m sorry…I could not…protect you," said Wu Hong, her mouth full of blood. She slowly raised her hand to caress his face before her hand dropped listlessly to the ground.

"No, no, no, no," said Wang Wei as he tried to revive her to no avail. He looked at the sky and roared, his voice containing so much grief and despair that even the White Shadow Cat took a small step backward as it was overwhelmed.

"Hum?" muttered the cat, who was greatly angered at this ant that made him scared for a moment. He raised his head to look in a direction, and his face became grave.

"That aura–the Heaven Opening Emperor? Did this situation alarm him?"

The cat knew it was no match for the first and oldest Supreme Leader of humans in this plane. So, he hurriedly finished the job he started.
