Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1408: Battle For Control

Shu Nianzu floated from the hair, his hand holding the Luck Condensing Artifact of the former Great Chu Divine Dynasty. A gentle smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he watched the newly formed Qi Luck Dragon of his Souther Chu Dynasty.

"Your majesty, please fulfill your end of the bargain," a voice suddenly echoed beside him, almost ruining Shu Nianzu’s happiness.

"Don’t worry, Prime Minister, I’m a man of my word," Shu Nianzu nodded as he handed the Dragon Seal to him while looking him in the eyes. "Don’t forget your part of the agreement."

"I won’t." Paragon Jimin took the artifact and immediately absorbed much of this dynasty’s luck. He first focused on the residual luck from the Northern Chu Dynasty before continuing to the South when someone stopped him. His aura rose exponentially, and in a matter of seconds, he healed the previous backlash for forcefully sublimating, and he returned to his original cultivation state.

"He’s here," Jimin said. How could Shu Ren allow his dynasty to be divided into two? He could have accepted the previous rebellion if his rebellious son had just taken a few of his subordinates and left the dynasty. But the bastard stole his Luck Condensing Artifact and divided his luck into two.

"Are you sure you can kill him?" Shu Nianzu asked.

"Alone, not at all, but with this…" Jimin summoned a golden sword.

"A sword of destiny?"

"The era of the seven moons is coming to an end, and destiny is against them," Paragon Jimin sneered before rushing toward Shu Ren. The Earth Emperor was already weakened after trying to save Shu Shu; his situation worsened after his first fight with Jimin, and now, the latter had a sword that countered.

After ten minutes of fighting, Shu Ren tried to run away, but Jimin was prepared and blocked the area. Then, after another 20 minutes of desperate fighting, the Earth Emperor lost one life. Jimin took much of the latter’s destiny but did not absorb everything. According to his agreement with the third prince, he returned some of it to make up for the luck he absorbed from the Southern Chu Dynasty.

"Our agreement is finished," Paragon Jimin said.

"Thank you," Shu Nianzu said as he received the Dragon Seal. "Are you sure you don’t want to stay? The position of Prime Minister can still be yours."

"I’m honored by your offer, but I’ll have to decline," Paragon Jimin stated before disappearing, making Shu Nianzu shake his head. His mother approached him a few seconds later.

"He left?" the Empress asked. Your journey continues on novelbuddy

"Yes."

"Then, how will we protect the dynasty without a Paragon in charge?"

"We’ll have to rely on destiny," Shu Nianzu replied as he looked at the sky. The Empress knew her song had some alternative plan, but since he didn’t want to mention it, she wouldn’t ask.

…

Wang Wei calmly experienced Shu Ren’s death, and he squinted his eyes. "It’s time to put the final nail in the coffin." He summoned two people: Mongke and Jia Ping. Mongke was still in the Barbarian Race and would take some time, but Jia Ping soon arrived.

"Your opportunity has arrived," Wang Wei declared before pointing at him to condense a Future Buddha Self, except it looked like Jia Ping instead of him. "This technique will allow you to acquire the strength of your future self for a short period, but to ensure the backlash is not too severe, the strength can only go to 90%. You’ll also have to team up with Mongke."

"I understand." Wang Wei dismissed him before closing his eyes.

…

Shu Ren returned to his secret hideout. After losing a life, he only had one left, and he debated whether it was wise to use it on Shu Shu — especially since it may not even save her. As he was hesitating, he sensed something and rushed over — Shu Shu had opened her eyes.

"Your majesty? Where am I? Why are you so pale?" Shu Shu asked in a soft voice. Shu Ren opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

"Did something happen to me?" Shu Shu said. "My creator did say I couldn’t leave the seal. I always knew this day would come."

"Shu’er, don’t worry, you will be fine," Shu Ren said, holding her hand. She smiled gently at him.

"My greatest joy was meeting you, your majesty," Shu Shu said as she raised her weak arm to caress his face. "My biggest regret is also meeting you. I would not want to experience The pain of separation in a thousand lifetimes."

"Please don’t say such inauspicious…words." Shu Ren realized Shu Shu’s body was rapidly disappearing. He gritted his teeth and immediately used the technique again, linking their [Existence].

"Your majesty, please don’t," Shu Shu said with tears streaming down her angelic cheek. "It is too late for me, so don’t put yourself at risk for my sake."

"I said you will be fine, then you will be fine." Shu Ren no longer had any more hesitation and thoroughly used that technique. He sacrificed one more life to extend her time. However, Shu Shu’s words were correct. The collapse of her [Existence] was too far along the process. Shu Ren watched as the rate of her body disappearing drastically reduced, but it was still disappearing nonetheless.

’What should I do?’ Shu Ren thought, trying not to panic. But as he looked into her eyes and saw her life force rapidly disappearing, his heart beat uncontrollably. Suddenly, as if by divine intervention, Shu Ren had a brilliant idea.

’Her [Existence] contained a flawed perfection, and my 33 Nether Hell is also flawed. If I link her [Existence] to the Nether Hell, could I use her perfection to perfect the Nether Hell, and in return, the Nether Hell will also complete her imperfection?’

This idea was bold and out of the box, but it may be the only way to save Shu Shu. Better yet, Shu Ren will kill two birds with one stone by completing the Nether Hell and becoming a true Earth Emperor.

Shu Ren no longer hesitated and immediately teleported Shu Shu away. He used his control of the Nether Hell to link the two together. ’It worked?’ Shu Ren thought, not entirely too sure. He closed his eyes to sense the change in this dimension.

’Yes, the rules are being perfected, and Shu Shu’s [Existence] has stopped collapsing. No, she’s slowly getting better.’ Shu Ren had a brilliant smile on his face. However, a terrifying aura appeared in the sky before he could celebrate for long. A man wearing black Emperor clothes with dragon designs looked at Shu Ren furiously.

"You idiot!"

"Ying Zheng!" Shu Ren yelled. He was in such a hurry that he forgot his traitorous third son had gained some control of his Nether Hell by aligning himself with the Great Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng ignored this idiot and pointed at Shu Shu. However, before he could succeed, three people showed up and blocked him: a man with four arms, Jia Ping, and Mongke.

"Your majesty, the Human Emperor, it’s an honor to meet you finally," said the four-arm creature.

"Brat from the Dao Opening Sect," Ying Zheng said coldly. "This matter does not concern you."

"Doesn’t it? I’ve spent much effort ensuring he can complete this Nether Hell perfectly."

"Wang Wei," Shu Ren said with gritted teeth. The latter might be using another body, but he would not forget that detestable soul aura.

"So, Shu Shu, was all your doing?" Shu Ren asked, his hands clenched tighter than a dragon’s jaw. However, Wang Wei did not even glance at him. Shu Ren was nothing but a pawn; now, he was no longer helpful.

"This is my last warning," Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Your threat means nothing to me," Wang Wei said as he started his work. He used his control of Shu Shu to accelerate the completion of this Nether Hell while taking control. Ying Zheng’s face turned ugly as he fought back. He had been secretly infiltrating this place for too long, meaning he had more power than Wang Wei.

However, the 33 Nether Hell had an instinct to be completed, and Wang Wei used that instinct to take more power rapidly.

"You bastards!" Shu Ren screamed before flying toward Wang Wei.

"Shu Ren," Mongke said as he blocked his way. "When you forced me to run away from my clan, I swore an oath that I would rip your head from your body. Today, I’m here to keep that promise." The Barbarian King teamed up with Jia Ping to kill the final moon of this era.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was deep in his competition against the Human Emperor. Although initially behind, he rapidly gained momentum and soon took control of 40% of this place, while Ying Zhen had 60%.

The Human Emperor looked at him coldly before a decisive light flashed in his eyes. "Earth Sword," he uttered as a black sword with the power of Samsara materialized in his hand. He struck down, cutting the Nether Hell into two, with his 60% control and Wang Wei’s 40%.

"I’ll remember you," Ying Zheng said as he left with his part of the Nether Hell.
