Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1288

Chapter 1288 Plunder (Finale)

(Unedited Chapter)

Jia Ping's pursuer was relentless. A shroud of darkness enveloped the man, allowing him to teleport at an alarming rate. Even with Wang Wei's power taking him away, it's apparent that Jia Ping will soon be captured.

'Shadow Dao?' Wang Wei thought. 'Not just that. He's a member of the Shadow Clan.' A sudden realization dawned on Wang Wei. The Shadow Clan is a unique race with a miserable history. Their clan is born from the shadow; they can be classified as the spirit clan since they are shadows that have gained form and sentience. However, unlike the spirit clan, whose awakening is random and has few numbers, the shadow clan had a unique world that gave birth to them.

Besides their unparalleled ability to control Shadow Dao, the clan had one unique characteristic called [Ultimate Allegiance]. Once a Shadow Clan member surrenders to someone else, they will be loyal until death. More importantly, a shadow clan with a master is immune to 99% of methods that could force them to betray their masters.

It's rare for an Everlasting Empyrean's [Avatar] to betray them, and methods to achieve such a feat are few and between. However, such methods that are usable against members of the Shadow Clan are even rarer. This ability made the Shadow Clan famous throughout the Eternal Ascension World, but it almost led to their extinction.

The Shadow Clan members became a commodity, resulting in countless people hunting them down to train them into their most loyal subordinates. The hunting was so severe that it almost resulted in the clan's extinction. Luckily, fate did not wholly abandon the Shadow Clan. In the middle of the Golden Era, their clan gave birth to an unparalleled genius called the Shadow Monarch.

He became a peak Boundless Paragon at record speed and sheltered his clan. The man was relentless in saving and protecting his clan members. It did not matter who they were; he would attack them if they captured his clan members — that goes for the Thirteen Overlords.

Ultimately, the world had to compromise and leave the Shadow Clan alone. These top lineages did not care about the Shadow Monarch's fighting prowess, but they feared his hiding abilities. The man had escaped countless times under the hands of Primal Paragons, and once, he survived the attack of three.

The top lineages feared the Shadow Monarch would assassinate their top talents, so they compromised and left the Shadow Clan alone. However, the Shadow Monarch should have entered Limbo after the Ultimate Taboo, again leaving his clan vulnerable.

The parasites attacked them, killing and capturing many branches. Luckily, the main branch had the means left by the Shadow Monarch and hid themselves from the world.

'With such a talent, he probably could have been the next Shadow Monarch,' Wang Wei lamented with a sigh. 'Damn it, how stupid are these people? Can't they think for the long term? Even the overlords decided to leave the Shadow Clan alone, but they dared do this to their clan. How were they prepared to deal with the Shadow Monarch? Do they believe the two suns would protect them?'

Anyone with a bit of brain would not know that the Shadow Monarch will one day return, and given how the latter felt about his clan, the first thing he'll do is probably take revenge. Even if not for revenge, the Shadow Monarch must kill these people to establish his prestige. Otherwise, other people might start lusting after his clan again if he showed weakness.

Wang Wei shook his head. He summoned four Time Clones before disappearing from his place. He did not immediately attack but waited for the right moment for a sneak attack. His intuition warned him that if that person hid himself, he wouldn't be able to find him in his current state.

Wang Wei controlled the power that was protecting Jia Ping, giving the shadow the sense that it was running out. The latter pounced on the opportunity, trying to catch Jia Ping.

'Here's my chance,' Wang Wei thought. The Shadow had paused and materialized, allowing him to act. The four clones appeared around the shadow and placed their staff around his neck, forming a magic circle that instantly sealed him.

"Lord," Jia Ping said in relief.
