Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1384

"Well played," Supreme Unity said indifferently.

"You always looked at these people as ants, thinking they would never dare to rebel against you," Maitreya said calmly. "But you overestimate the human spirit. No, I should say you probably never understood. They have their own goals, dreams, and pursuits. Do you really think your overwhelming power was enough for them to give these things up?"

"Ants are ants," Supreme Unity replied calmly. "Without your protection, none of them dare to rebel."

"They dare," she rebutted. "It’s just that you already killed those with the spirit, and these ones only needed a small boost."

"This conversation is pointless," Supreme Unity added. "Don’t think you’ve won this war."

"We will see."

Wang Wei and the entire world watched the beginning of the Buddhism-Taoism War. Specifically, this war should be called the Unity of Buddhism and Taoism against Corrupted Taoism, and that’s how historians will write this war unless Supreme Unity is the final victor. The first battle was an overwhelming victory.

Without Supreme Unity’s strength, corrupt Taoism was overwhelmed by the allied force. Maitreya was ruthless, forcing the first battle to last as long as possible and allowing her forces to kill as many people as possible. By the end of this fight, the Twin Sun Border became an inhabitable area due to how much immortal blood fell on the soil. Of course, this also meant that the place became a holy place for anyone who cultivated Blood Dao or any technique involved in Fiend Qi/Aura.

After this defeat, Taoism did two things: used a more defensive approach to this war and summoned reinforcement. The former was quite effective as they successfully blocked the madness from these monks or the enraged Taoists who wanted to eliminate their other counterparts to ensure their prosperity and prevent future revenge.

However, the plan to receive reinforcement was not as successful. Supreme Unity’s target was obviously his goons — the moons. However, as soon as the summon arrived, Five Feathers and Undead Phoenix intensified their war. Time Eater is sealed, and the manpower available is in a semi-shamble state, leaving only Shu Ren, the Earth Emperor.

He was the only one without any excuses to refuse the summon. With these reinforcements, Supreme Unity was able to take a breather. However, Maitreya succeeded in her attempt to occupy and reduce his political power.

’Supreme Unity’s loss was too great in this fight,’ Wang Wei analyzed the information. ’These overlords must have secretly taken this opportunity to weaken Taoism. I reckon they even secretly killed many monks as well.’

This war concerns not only the fate of the world but also the reshuffle of power. Everyone is waiting for the new era, and everyone wants to dominate it. Buddhism and Taoism already have an overwhelming lead, so these Overlords have already started taking measures to weaken them.

While Wang Wei was deep in thought, his communication talisman trembled. He activated it and saw a picture: a head with a look of fear, anger, and regret. He recognized this person — the leader of the Hidden Moon-Sun Sect, First Sun. Wang Wei did not hesitate to contact his ancestor.

"He’s dead?"

"Yep, just as I promised."

"Is he dead dead or…"

"True death," Yan Hai convinced.

"How did you do it?"

"Many swordsmen in the Sword League Path owe me karma," Yan Hai explained.

"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "Was there anything weird about him?"

"Besides having a Paragon Artifact as protection, there were no anomalies."

Wang Wei frowned, thinking whether he had missed something. "Well, forget him for now. How are things on your side?"

"The unsealing process will not take as long as I thought. It should be done in about 2 weeks." _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

"That’s good to hear." The two chatted briefly before ending the conversation.

’Five Feathers and Undead Phoenix’s current confrontation is not enough as an excuse to reject the summon, so these two should prepare for a direct confrontation,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ’The issue is whether they will fake it and wait until they are both ready for the real fight or directly fight to the death.’

Wang Wei’s analysis favored the latter. These people genuinely hated each other, so even if they tried to fake it, their animosity would leak out during the confrontation, turning the fake scenario into a genuine one. So, he waited while ordering his people to protect as many mortals as possible and keeping watch on Time Eater.

Wang Wei’s prediction became true when a battle started between these two five days later. He had his answer from their killing intent and the killing blow these two were using. So, he calmly observed that battle:

’Undead Phoenix is not as mad as the previous fight. His mode of fighting is relatively reserved — he must have a trump card he’s waiting to use at the right moment.
