Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1352

"Let’s fight in different layers," Wang Wei suggested, and the parasites frowned before agreeing. This palace was small and isolated, meaning the aftermath of others’ battles would affect others. So, after dividing their opponent, they also build separate spatial layers as their battlefield.

Yan Hai calmly looked at Five Feathers with annoyance. She cannot believe she will have to aggravate her injury for such a person. "Why don’t you kill yourself and save me the effort."

Five Feathers controlled herself not to reveal any negative emotions. "Yan…I mean, senior." Her tone and facial expression were stiff when she said these words. It was apparent she was not used to addressing people as such.

"There is no need to fight among us," Five Feather persuaded; she controlled her voice and tone to lower herself. "Everyone knows you will kill me, so why not play a little game? We wait a while, and afterward, I can secretly leave.

"Your injury won’t be affected, and I will no longer be a problem. That’s a win-win situation if I ever see one, right? What do you say?"

Yan Hai calmly looked at her. "You disgust me — do you know why?" Five Feathers’ face turned red, but she dared not say anything.

"I don’t care that much that you usurped the world’s power, took all the world’s resources, and enacted an era of pain and suffering. I don’t care that you sold your soul and dignity to obtain power. The core theme of the world is the strong prey on the work, so, normally, you surrender to someone with more power. Although I disdain such behavior, I can excuse it."

Five Feathers was quiet, not knowing what to say. She thought about a sneak attack while the opponent talked, but she knew that was pointless. A feeling of frustration suddenly overwhelmed her. When was the last time she suffered such humiliation?

"I can even forgive how you people suppress my sect," Yan Hai continued. "The Dao Opening Sect ended in that situation because of our actions. Everyone who participated in that event was too prideful and refused to accept the flawed method, even though we all knew that someone needed to become the sect’s guardian."

Yan Hai never blamed the parasites or two suns for the sect’s current situation. In fact, she always felt it was their fault since they could not control their pride.

"What disgusts me is how weak you are," Yan Hai continued. "Do you know how the geniuses were raised during my generation?" Five Feathers’ body paused. She knew the answer but still did not speak.

"After becoming a peak Emperor, Heavenly Dao blocked the way forward. No one — no matter how talented — could not become an Empyrean. Everyone thought something was wrong with Heaven and Earth until Heavenly Dao released the news — an Empyrean Heaven Will."

Yan Hai’s eyes were hazy as she was lost in her memories.

"Trillions of Great Emperors, all geniuses, fighting for only 3000 positions. Brother Qiyuan and I fought endlessly, walking through fields of corpses. When his body was broken, I had to carry him on my back as I slaughtered the enemy. When my soul was injured, he guarded me from all four directions, killing people and forming a field of bodies around us. It was truly brutal beyond words could describe. But in the end, we secured a few positions, laying the foundation for the Dao Opening Sect now."

Yan Hai sighed. In her long life, she had experienced much worse battles than these. However, that battle had a profound impact on her memories. It was the first battle in her life that she felt despair. That battle was not just a test of strength but a test of will. There were too many people. The Eternal Ascension World’s luck had reached its highest peak in countless eras, resulting in too many Great Emperors. It did not help that Heavenly Dao blocked the path ahead just for that battle.

"Do you think this was the end?" Yan Hai continued. "No, once that battle ended, the process was repeated for the Paragon Realm, and that battle was even crueler since there were only 33 Spots."

A hint of fear flashed in Yan Hai as she remembered that fight. After the 3000 Empyreans were crowned, Heavenly Dao removed the blockage and allowed the cowards who did not dare to participate to continue cultivating. Of course, these people’s luck and destiny were basically non-existent. Heavenly Dao’s target was the next generation.
