Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1402

[Unedited Chapter]

-----

[AN: I made a mistake in the previous chapter. The devil child cultivated Metal Dao since Fire balances out metal in the Five Element Chart. I’ve already fixed it.]

The Devi Child’s shield blocked this barrage of attacks, but it still showed signs of melting. The vice-captains took this opportunity to rush in for an attack. Each had their specialty, but their attack now was to ensure maximum damage.

Boom!

The devil child’s defense could not hold on and flew to the ground, but White Wolf was already waiting for him with his claw. The child’s body instinctively moved, so White Wolf attack only scratched his back instead of cleaving him in two. White Wolf immediately disappeared from his spot, and the next thing that came was another barrage of fire attacks.

The devil child surrounded itself with a double-layer shield: one of pure energy on top, followed by a metal shield in the second layer. Such quick thinking displayed this cultivator’s extreme battle experience even after losing his mind. However, the mortals were not bad too. The Void Illusion Realm allowed them to experience many kinds of opponents.

The bombardment destroyed the shield’s layer, leaving the second layer with some melting spots. However, before the child could breathe, Vice-Captain Lu Zhen appeared before him with a flame shield and cut his defense like a knife passing through butter.

Blue Flower followed with a trident composed of lightning and thunder, and she threw it with enormous force. The devil child screamed in agony as the lightning ravaged his body, but this was far from enough. Vice-Captain Li Shen produced tree rots that directly embedded themselves into the devil child’s arms and legs, not only injuring him but rendering him immobile.

"Now," Li Shen yelled, and Grindax was already prepared to use his specialty: soul attack. Grindax was one of the few enlightened humans who chose a military/martial path instead of research. As such, his armor was designed with spiritual runes, allowing him to use techniques like mind or soul attacks.

The devil child felt danger and immediately tried to teleport from his predicament. However, all squads knew that the minimum level for any cultivation system to access space technique was Tier 4, so they considered this. The 3C pilots’ formation was not just to link their minds and energy reserves but also a space blockade in the area they had surrounded.

The devil child screamed in agony as the world spun around him. This attack looked devastating, but Vice-Captain Grindax was not also not feeling too well. Ultimate, a mortal’s soul cannot compare to a Tier 5 cultivator. The armor boosted his spiritual power and protected him from the backlash, but its power was also limited.

The Devil child’s aura drastically dropped, and White Wolf finally acted. He appeared before the culprit, piercing the latter’s chest with his mighty claw. He destroyed all the devil’s internal organs before ripping his heart out.

"Disgusting thing," White Wolf sneered. "Even your heart is black." He looked at the disgusting thing in his hand and threw it away. The team watched as the devil child slowly lost gravity and crashed into the ruin of this mortal dynasty.

"I told you this would be easy," Lu Zhen said as his mask automatically disappeared.

"We only won because of our teamwork," Blue Flower replied.

"But we still won."

"Now is not the time to celebrate," Grindax added. "This is just one cultivator among countless. Our work has just started."

"Grindax is right," White Wolf nodded. "Enough chit-chat and immediately start the rescue mission."

"Aye, captain," Lu Zhen smiled. Now, they can finally focus on rescuing as many people as possible. Although this battle was intense and showed the result of their years of training, what is truly important is to save their compatriot.

"I must thank you," suddenly said an eerie voice that sounded like the combination of three or more people. The pilots watched in horror as the devil child got up and looked at them calmly.

"If not for you almost killing me, I would have never awakened my consciousness," the devil child said, buying himself enough time to use his Metal Dao to build metal hearts and other organs.

The devil child slowly floated in the air, standing before the team. "A group of mortals? Is the source of your strength those armors? Interesting," he smirked before his expression suddenly changed to cruelty and horror. "However, you, ants, actually dare to steal the power of cultivator?"
