Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1094 Negotiation

1094 Negotiation

Emperor Jia was deep in thought. He had just tried to kill himself and revive, as this was the most efficient way to deal with the situation. His previous attack was perfectly timed to ensure maximum damage and deep penetration of his True Will. However, he discovered the enemy had changed the Order and Disorder of the surrounding area, banning longevity techniques or resources. He did not expect to suffer so much with his own technique.

'I could use this method to revive, but I will immediately lose this fight if I do that,' thought Emperor Jia. He could use a Transferring Rune to transfer all his injuries and damage, but he needed someone else to take them.

"How about we end this fight?" asked Emperor Jia.

"Oh, why the sudden change?"

"We don't really have enough animosity to fight to the death."

"The Spirit Genesis Sect would disagree."

"It's been so long since I left the sect," said Emperor Jia, shaking his head. "Anyway, you didn't destroy it; that's enough for me."

"Really?"

"Nothing can be eternally prosperous. They have been standing at the pinnacle of the lower dimension for so long, and now, it's time for them to give up their reign. I'm sure you understand such a sentiment."

"True," nodded Wang Wei. One day, the Dao Opening Sect will also lose its status and give up its position as the de facto secret ruler of the lower dimension. Of course, if he can become a Half Step Transcendence beforehand, then the rules will not apply.

"So, what do you say?"

"I can't agree?"

"Why? I only fought you because I thought you disrupted my reincarnation," said Emperor Jia, who suddenly paused. "You want the Four Symbol Mirror."

"Of course. Such a thing can only be the foundation for my sect."

Emperor Jia thought briefly, "I can hand it over."

"Oh, so simple? I wonder why you're willing to handle such a precious treasure."

"It's because it will disintegrate in a few generations," replied Emperor Jia.

"Disintegrate? Could it be True Heavenly Dao will no longer tolerate its existence in the lower dimension?"

"That is correct."

Wang Wei felt something was wrong; the truth was logical, and he could not find anything wrong, but he had an inkling this guy was not telling the truth.

"Although I appreciate your willingness, I still have to refuse."

"Why?" Emperor Jia thought this man was more logical and could be reasoned with.

"It's because I want your inheritance."

"Inheritance? What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.

"Good acting, but useless," sneered Wang Wei. "I'm talking about the one that taught you to cultivate a Dao Body capable of entering the Taboo Realm."

Emperor Jia was calm, without any change in expression or aura. "It seems I accidentally revealed too much information." Looking back, he realized all the mistakes he made involuntarily. After regaining his consciousness, he muttered words, revealing much information. Then, during the battle, he had to get accommodated to this new life and body, further revealing more information. And when facing someone like Wang Wei, the slightest clue is enough to put all the puzzle pieces together.

"You did," nodded Wang Wei.

"Everything is negotiable except for that."

"Then we have nothing to talk about."

"Is this thing any useful to you?" continued Emperor Jia. "You must reincarnate and start from scratch. There are no alternate methods like the Nine Extremity Foundation. So, are you prepared to give up everything to walk this path?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but that's for me to decide."

"You are someone burdened with a great destiny. Are you willing to give up everything just for the Taboo Realm?"

"It's not a question of whether I'm willing but whether I have the choice," countered Wang Wei. "Once I have the inheritance, I'll know whether it's worth giving up everything."

"In that case, how about I tell you about all my understanding of the Taboo Realm? I won't hold back; I'll tell you everything except the exact method."

"Still no," replied Wang Wei while shaking his head. Emperor Jia became silent for a few seconds, weighing his options; he was deciding whether to reveal more information and the danger that came with it. Ultimately, he decided to gamble.

"What if I told you my method was flawed or incomplete?"

"What do you mean?"

"The method only went as far as the fifth reincarnation," Emperor Jia revealed. "From the sixth to ninth reincarnation, that's when I can successfully break through the Taboo Realm, but the inheritance does not have the remaining part."

Wang Wei frowned, wondering if he was telling the truth.

'He's probably telling the truth if he wants to negotiate in good faith. After all, he should guess I would take precautionary measures to ensure he's not screwing me,' analyzed Wang Wei.

"So, what will happen if you reincarnate a sixth time?" he asked.

"True Heavenly Dao will immediately detect me," replied Emperor Jia truthfully.

"That makes sense," nodded Wang Wei. "Sadly, my answer is still negative."

"Why? I think I've displayed enough good faith?"

"Do you think I don't know the Taboo Realm method is not the most valuable part of your inheritance?" sneered Wang Wei. "The method of using Paradox to change the records of True Heavenly Dao and make sure it ignores you - how can I pass up such a thing?"

Emperor Jia sighed. He tried his best to prevent news about the Paradox from being revealed, but the people from the Purple Heaven Temple were stubborn, and a few people escaped his grasp. By the time he dealt with them, it was too late. He tried damage control, but the people in this world were not stupid, so it's understandable someone figured out some of his plans once they learned of the Paradox.

"I guess there is no point in negotiation."

Wang Wei shrugged his shoulders since he knew the latter was unwilling to hand over the inheritance, and if he were in his shoes, he would have made the same choice.

[Injury Suppression Rune]

The dark burning spots on Emperor Jia's body disappeared as he temporarily suppressed his injury, returning to his peak battle state. Then, he used his ultimate technique: [Error Dao: Disruptor Rune]

The world suddenly became dark, with countless broken chains scattered everywhere in the Void Battlefield. Wang Wei observed these chains, and they resembled the ones from the Grand Dao Source. He also saw tiny runes in the place where they were broken.

'This is...' Wang Wei was genuinely shocked as he realized his Daos could not work properly. No, he could not summon them, except for his Fate Dao, but it was working like an old computer with slow processing.

'This technique is beyond brilliant,' thought Wang Wei. He could tell this technique was the pinnacle of Emperor Jia's Rune Dao, and he must have spent all his five lives to refine and cultivate it.

"Let's end this."

Chains appeared in the sky before rushing toward Wang Wei. He tried to use his Fate Dao to weave a new universe around him, thus isolating him from his battlefield and the technique, but he soon realized it would take him more than three hours to succeed. For beings of their caliber that need to make split decisions in attoseconds, three hours might as well be an infinite amount of time. He did not even try using his other Daos, knowing they would be even worse.

'My flesh has been weakening, but it's not as bad as my Dao,' thought Wang Wei, who swiftly changed tactics. He moved his body to move, but the chains were fast and on his tail; he knew he could not evade for long.

[Essence, Qi, Spirit Conversion]

He converted all the soul energy in his Sea of Consciousness into physical strength to increase his fleshly body. He used his True Will to its full effect, focusing slowly on boosting his body.

'Since my Dao cannot work outward, they might do so inward.' Wang Weu used his Dao to improve his flesh, raising it to another height.

Bang!

Wang Wei punched the chain, breaking a small part. Emperor Jia sighed silently, 'Such terrifying Battle IQ.' This was the pinnacle of his achievement, and yet the opponent quickly found a way to adapt and survive.

The long chain turned into a rain of golden lights. Wang Wei tried to evade, but there were too much and too fast even for his fleshly body speed or defense. Additionally, as they impaled him, he noticed his flesh and internal system were also being disrupted.

He remained calm while his mind worked on overdrive. He pushed all his 365 Future Buddha Self to the limit, trying to find a countermeasure. While thinking, he changed his essence, scattering his body and soul into their individual atoms and particles.

In this horrifying state, Emperor Jia must target his individual atom and spirit particle, but each of these things contained Wang Wei's will and evading ability. Additionally, atoms could move way faster than when together as a whole.
