Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245 Paragon Will

[Rain Domain]

Old Man Dai's reaction was slightly faster than Wang Wei and took the initiative. The void was suddenly filled with raindrops that Old Man Dai controlled, and he unleashed them on his opponent. Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he realized each of those drops contained enough force/power to do severe damage to any peak Indestructible Paragon with any immunity to Power Dao.

However, Wang Wei himself was not safe because he detected a very subtle infusion of Dao Will in each of the drops. Wang Wei waved his hand to create a universe that swallowed these raindrops. However, they were so powerful that his universe did not last a second, and that's despite the fact he boosted their defense with his True Will.

Wang Wei reacted by replicating his opponent's technique. However, the rain he condensed was from his Death Dao, meaning they were death drops. His plan was simple — use numbers to combat numbers. Unfortunately, although he had the right mindset, he underestimated his opponent's ability.

'His Dao Will application might be even better than mine,' Wang Wei theorized. It made sense, given how long Old Man Dai has been living and that he might have received formal training from a master. Wang Wei teleported to avoid the rain, but even that was pointless.

The rain contained the ubiquitous characteristic; in other words, this technique functioned under the same principle, just like people could not avoid it unless they built shelter. A few drops of rain touched Wang Wei's body, leaving minor shallow cuts that healed instantly.

Wang Wei summoned a time shield around his body, and it could speed up time, forcing the raindrops to age billions of years before reaching him. This move took him some time to breathe, so he went on the offensive. He condensed a thunder spear that he threw with ungodly strength.

Old Man Dai was wise, knowing that using water to block this attack was unwise. So, he gathered his rain to make water, which he then changed into ice. With an ice spear in his hand, he casually pushed the thunder spear to the side.

Their speed was great, but he also reacted in time, blocking 90% of them. His Time Shield should have dealt with the remaining ten percent, but these raindrops contained the power of time and bypassed his defense. He suddenly remembered that Paragons had a much easier time traveling through the River of Time; thus, it was common for their techniques or skills to touch on Time Dao.

Wang Wei suddenly exchanged position with the spear, placing himself directly next to Old Man Dai. He did not hesitate and went for a punch full of the power of death. The old man exploded, but not into a pool of blood, but into countless raindrops, which rushed toward Wang Wei.

After bypassing his defense, the raindrops also broke through his True Will. The enemy's Dao Will was sharp, like a great swordsman capable of cutting through defenses. Tiny holes appeared on Wang Wei's body, but he reacted swiftly. He used a True Will application that copied a magnet to remove Old Man Dai's Dao Will from his body.

'He really is much better than me,' Wang Wei thought. Such news was good and bad. The good news is he had someone to learn from. The bad news is he probably will suffer in this battle, which was against his goal of venting his frustration on this old man.

'I can't allow this,' Wang Wei thought, so he decided to take a page from Mongke's book. Since he lost skill-wise, he would make up with numbers or quantities. Wang Wei no longer hesitated and used the technique he created after his fight with Mongke. Although it was a prototype, it would have to do for now.

[Fate Will]

A projection of the River of Fate condensed above his head. Then, Wang Wei gathered the willpower of the trillions upon trillions of mortals that fate had absolute control over, from ancient to modern times, alive and dead — and condensed them into a will, which he fused with his True Will.

'There are indeed a few kinks,' Wang Wei thought, as he controlled himself not to hear the murmur, complain, and memories of all the beings he took Willpower from.

"Want to use quantity to beat quality?" Old Man Dai asked with a smirk. "Well, two can play that game." His body released a mighty, noble, and beautiful will that can be described as infinite — as boundless.

"Paragon's Will?" Wang Wei asked incredulously. "How is that possible? You failed to become a Boundless Paragon, so how did you acquire a Paragon Will? Fortunate Encounter? Or someone gave it to you?"

Wang Wei suddenly paused as he figured something out. "Your master — is he a Boundless Paragon?"

"As expected, you immediately figured it out," Old Man Dai did not deny it. The essence of their Gou Dao is survival, so walking the Eternal Path was a requirement. Their master succeeded until the end, but Old Man Dai and his junior brother failed at the [Boundless] mark.
