Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276 It's Your Turn

Blood Dragon's brows were furrowed. Despite using his proving Dao Artifact, that slash still cut off a significant portion of his tail. 'No wonder Time Eater is so obsessed and fearful of that woman.'

If he did not act in time, he would have died without an intact body. He was so glad that he killed most of these swordsmen and not let them grow up. Their attack potency was something else.

Blood Dragon's artifact released a red light into his body, trying to heal that missing tail, but it could only alleviate the situation. 'I must kill this bitch as soon as possible.'

[Blood of the Universe]

Any universe or large space with intact rules and laws can be considered a living creature, and all living creatures have blood in some form or shape. Blood Dragon's technique allowed him to summon the 'Blood" of whatever area he was in and do with it as he pleased. In this current situation, he chose to swallow the universe's blood to increase his strength and regenerative capabilities.

Then, he cut off the part of his tail with Xun Junyao's True Will before regrowing it. Meanwhile, the most beautiful woman in the world continued emulating the most powerful swordsman in the world. She stabbed her bamboo, releasing a terrifying strike.

An armor of blood surrounded Ao You's body, blocking the attack, or it blocked most of it. The strike decimated the armor. However, it had one property that saved its wearer: constant regeneration. It did not matter how many times Xun Junyao's attack destroyed the blood armor; it would instantly regenerate.

[Thunder Dao: Immemorial Tribulation]

One of the most challenging battles Xun Junyao had experienced was from the Divine Punishment Empyrean. The bastard created a thunder technique that summoned immemorial tribulation. After she copied his Dao, she made him experience the terror of his own attack.

Blood Dragon's face lost color when he saw the tribulation clouds above their heads. There is one event that all Paragons will never forget in their life: the Immemorial Tribulation. It did not matter how talented or easy the previous tribulations were; they would be traumatized by it—the more gifted a cultivator, the harder the tribulation and the higher the trauma.

The blood dragon's first instinct was to run away from this tribulation. Sadly, the thing followed him, and not to mention Xun Junyao would not give him such an opportunity. She summoned a colossal ax, trying to divide him in two.

Blood Dragon controlled his ball artifact to block the thunder from above while focusing on that ax. His body suddenly manifested countless Blood Veins that drastically increased his physical stats. His dragon claw clashed with the ax, and the sheer force destroyed the weapon.

Xun Junyao was calm after seeing this result. Her objective of occupying the Paragon Artifact had been accomplished. Without it, her chances of winning and killing this pig have drastically increased. She then activated her [Awakened], which was in the form of a vision similar to Wang Wei.

The vision showed a beautiful lake with thirteen statues. Eleven of the statues came alive and started dancing around the lake. The visages of the statues could not be determined, but anyone who watched them would instinctively think they were the most beautiful thing between Heaven and Earth. Additionally, the ethereal atmosphere of the lake somehow perfected their performance, elevating it to a higher state of existence.

[Dance of Perfection]

Xun Junyao finally used a technique that could be said to be original. She used her [Awaken] state to cast a potent illusion/charm technique that can lure the minds of people with the strongest Dao Heart. The truly terrifying aspect of this technique is its ability to show people what they desire the most.

It's not about their ideal version of beauty but what they pursue and want the most in life. Whatever that is, the dance will not reveal it to them but show them a path to achieving it.

Xun Junyao knew that if she revealed these people's innermost desires, they would be more likely to realize they were in an illusion. So, she opted for the most captivating option: showing them how to achieve their ultimate goal/pursuit.

While the dragon was distracted by that illusion, Xun Junyao controlled the spear of destiny to enlarge itself until it was larger than the dragon's body. Then, she nailed him. The dragon roared in agony. Luckily for him, the pain woke him up from that illusion.

He immediately assessed his situation, realizing he had little time left. The spear contained the destiny of the chosen one, meaning it was his nemesis; it was one of the best weapons to kill him. As such, if he did not make the correct move in the next nanoseconds, he would die, and it would be true death since he had no more longevity resources.

In this brief moment of life and death, the blood dragon's mind was extraordinarily calm and calculated. He abandoned the current body and used the technique [Blood Rebirth]. His Dragon Ball, the official name of his proving Dao Artifact, stored some of his blood essences in an emergency like this. With that blood, Ao You survived and returned to his peak.

Ao You left the Dragon Ball with a new dragon body. His aura was fierce, and his strength was even higher than before. He felt great — that was until he heard these sarcastic words.

"You really are an idiot," Xun Junyao sneered before reciting a spell, and numerous dark marks appeared on Ao You's body.

'The curse,' the dragon thought with an ugly expression. The blood essence he stored was from his previous dragon body, which contained the curse. As he felt his body immobile and unable to move, he gritted his teeth. He became even more ruthless and forcefully destroyed his bloodline a second time.
