Chapter 1228 A Battle of True Will

Wang Wei smiled at this comment. Few body refiners can reach their level without being masochists and mad. After his body regenerated, he clenched his fist. His body had high immunity to all Dao — including the Power Dao. So, he had to deactivate that immunity to test his strength, which is why he was hurt.

However, he was prepared for a real battle after learning about the wide gap between the third and tenth Heavens. He activated all his Grand Dao Boosts. He raised his hand to summon a purple bolt of lightning before throwing them.

The Barbarian King casually swapped the attack away, and Wang Wei appeared before him, plunging his hand into the latter's stomach. He used his five fingers as a spear, and normally, such an attack could pierce a universe, breaking it into two parts. However, it did not even scratch the Barbarian King's skin.

The king responded by dropping his massive elbow on Wang Wei's cranium. The viewers expected to see a headless corpse with blood spilling, but the attack merely created a massive shockwave that destroyed the surroundings. As for Wang Wei? He was perfectly intact.

The two stared at each other before clashing repeatedly. Wang Wei mostly used elemental attacks, while the Barbarian King was direct, using his fist and powerful body to annihilate anyone or anything in his path. After clashing for over a minute, the two stopped. They immediately knew that with their [Limit Indestructibility], no attack would work on each other.

There was only one way to determine the victor: Willpower Manifestation/Dao Will/ True Will. Only this power that negates defense and regeneration can injure them and decide the fate of this battle. As such, red lightning manifested around these two eyes.

'Hmm? I thought he would reject using a Dao Will Artifact,' Wang Wei thought. His initial assessment of the Barbarian King was that he was similar to those headstrong swordsmen of the Extreme Path but for body refining. Such a person should only use Willpower Manifestation and reject the power of True Will despite it being objectively better.

'He's powerful, has a scheming mind, and is not headstrong or pedantic—- he's truly a talent.' He was genuinely excited about acquiring such a talent. In the lower dimension, he had to mold the people around him into talents, while the other talents were either his enemy or too prideful to serve under him. But today, he did not have to worry about that.

The Barbarian King went on the offensive with a palm attack. He appeared before Wang Wei and slapped downward with his enormous hand. Wang Wei's eyes squinted before punching. He sensed it as soon as their attacks touched.

The palm contained an invisible swirling power that could grind even a black hole into a fine paste. However, the more impressive aspect of this technique was not its strength but the fact that the Barbarian King's True Will was also rotating at an alarming rate. If Wang Wei was not careful, his True Will would be dispersed, and he would be injured for real.

Unfortunately for the Barbarian King, he met an expert. Wang Wei's True Will seemingly assimilated with his opponent before reverting the rotating force, turning it into a backlash. The Barbarian King's huge body moved with terrifying speed a few kilometers away, and he glanced at a tiny red part of his palm — he was injured.

"I haven't bled since I fought that Old Man," he commented, his voice trying to contain his excitement. Then, he grinned: "It seems I still underestimate you."

'What a quick reaction,' Wang Wei thought. That attack should have pulverized the Barbarian King's entire arm, just like what had happened to him. 'More importantly, his body is unnatural.' After these short clashes, Wang Wei realized the Barbarian King's body was not due to a special physique or bloodline but more so the result of a body refining technique. Unfortunately, the opponent's information was protected by this pagoda, so Wang Wei needed more time to gather and analyze more data.

"You should take this seriously," Wang Wei replied. "Otherwise, you'll suffer, and I won't accept any excuses for your defeat."

"I would never do such a sacrilegious thing and tarnish the sacred art of combat," the Barbarian King responded seriously.

'Sacred? I never thought I would meet someone more battle-hungry than me, Li Jun, or the Monkey,' Wang Wei thought. 'Maybe my ancestor was like this. After all, he chose the Battle Maniac name.'

The Barbarian King's body suddenly lit up as if it were a shining diamond. He slashed his hand downward, managing to generate a sword slash more than ten meters long, heading toward his opponent with unparalleled speed. Wang Wei waved his hand to the side to break the attack, and his eyes squinted.
