Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368 The Anomaly

Wang Wei was not the only one paying attention to this war. The entire world tuned in. Five Feathers' madness meant the war spread quickly and widely in just a few months. So, everyone watched and waited patiently.

Wang Wei sat cross-legged on some unknown dimension that was surrounded by countless sealing arrays and a potent Heaven-Deceiving Array. A mirror floated before him as he watched the commander battle between the two sides.

On one side was Five Feathers' Five Phoenixes: White, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. Opposite them were Undead Phoenix's Five Undead Kings: Purple Zombie King, Gold Banshee Queen, Silver Evil Spirit Sovereign, Black Soul Sucking Tyrant, and the Iron Bone Dragon Monarch.

All these ten people were peak Empyrans, with a few even being Everlasting Empyreans, meaning they were the peak power level in this war besides their leaders.

'Something is indeed wrong,' Wang Wei thought. He noticed that the Undead Kings used their pseudo-immortality (they can't die due to their connection with the Undead Phoenix) to fight like madmen who did not care for their injuries. Additionally, as undead, they did not feel or know fear or pain in the first place.

'Undead Phoenix seems worried about Five Feathers' sudden change in how she did things, so he used his men to test her out,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'He wants to kill one of the color phoenixes as soon as possible to tip the top powerhouse battle on his side.'

If one of the phoenixes dies, one undead king will be free to slaughter the enemy's army or legion. By then, Five Feathers would have no choice but to find another way to stop the undead king or intervene herself.

'However, the phoenix seems to choose a more defensive way of fighting,' Wang Wei continued. 'It's almost as if they are stalling for time. Are they waiting for backup? Or is Five Feathers planning something major?'

Wang Wei thought about it before sending orders to Red Mask. He wanted her to focus all her time on finding Five Feathers' location. Then, Wang Wei changed the location of his dimension — just in case.

His eyes then shifted to one of the phoenixes: White Phoenix. 'Years ago, I planted something on her to use as a chess piece. Should I activate it now?' Wang Wei hesitated. He put that mark on her a long time ago, and he feared it may have been discovered.

'It's worth the risk,' Wang Wei thought. He still remembered the bad feeling he had about this war. Wang Wei observed White Phoenix and waited until the battle reached the most intense and activated the particle. He forcefully invaded her Sea of Consciousness, activating the restrictions placed on her soul and memories. Wang Wei did not care and destroyed the limits, leaving cracks all over her Sea of Consciousness. He then focused on gathering information from the last few months.

"Damn it, all of those are useless," Wang Wei thought as he hurriedly gathered as many memory pieces as possible until he found fragments of what he wanted.

"Scholar…Treat Curse… Body of Sin."

Wang Wei felt he was so close to the truth, and a little bit more, he could see the entire picture. However, his rationale took over. He knew the consequences of letting greed dictate his actions. So, he stopped himself and eliminated the spirit particle before expeditiously changing the coordinates of his residing dimensions.

"Hmm? Why do I feel I just escaped a disaster?" Wang Wei muttered. He trusted his feelings, so he knew there must be a reason. He suddenly thought of something, so he sent a projection to the previous locale while changing his coordinate for the third time.

What did he see? Nothing except an endless void. A terrifying power had annihilated the previous coordinate of his dimension, leaving only an infinite void. The projection looked in the distance and saw Seven Cauldron floating above, looking at him indifferently.

"I see. It seems I have become enough of a nuisance that you want to eradicate me personally," Wang Wei chuckled. "I guess I should be proud."

"You lowly rat. Let's see how long you can hide," Seven Cauldron, no, Supreme Unity said.

"Haven't you heard the saying? Good people die young, while terrible people live a thousand years. I'm a disaster, so I guarantee I'll leave long enough until I'm capable of ripping your spine from your body."

"Keep testing my patient and see what will happen," Supreme Unity said calmly. "I can still overthrow this chessboard by killing everybody, including your sect and loved ones."

"Why don't you say these words to her?" Wang Wei's projection pointed to the east, and as expected, Feng Heng, with glowing golden eyes, showed himself. The two glanced at each other briefly before Supreme Unity disappeared after snorting coldly.

Maitreya then focused on Wang Wei: "I know you're disappointed in me with how weak my response has been to the current situation."

"Not really," Wang Wei said. At first, he did blame her, but as time passed and he understood how scary transcendents are, he realized that he was only alive because Maitreya occupied Supreme Unity's 99.9999% strength.

"There is an explanation for this," Maitreya continued, not elaborating whether she believed his words or not. "Firstly, I have to admit that I underestimated how much control he had over this world. In terms of scheming, I am indeed not as good as him."

Maitreya has long realized she had an antagonized fate with Taoism. All her greatest trials and tribulations originated from them.
