Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1441

Chapter 1441 Boundless Paragon IV: Immeasurable Tribulation

"The human mind is interesting, isn't it? A mortal's mind can imagine anything: it can create Gods and demons, create worlds, envision creation, death, and any concepts that govern reality. The difference between a mortal's mind and a cultivator is the former cannot manifest his mind into the real world, but the latter can."

"What are you getting at?" the Heart Devil asked unwillingly.

"The key to becoming a Paragon is an infinite mind with endless possibilities, but that is not enough," Wang Wei continued. "This test is not just to prevent Paragons from becoming bored and indifferent due to their infinite lifespan. No, this test is a means to teach them how to regulate their infinite minds by controlling their emotions.

"A Paragon needs a sufficient mind state to control their boundless power, and this test's purpose is to achieve that mindset," Wang Wei said while looking at the Heart Devil. "As for you? Your purpose is to distract me under the guise of tempering my Dao Heart. But the truth of the matter is the longer I spend talking to you, the less likely I will realize this truth, and the harder it will be for me to escape."

The Heart Devil was quiet for a few seconds before smiling: "It was nice seeing you again." His body immediately started to dissipate.

"...You too," Wang Wei nodded.

"Just so you know, it was not a guise. My existence is to temper you and misdirect your attention."

"That's good to hear, I guess," Wang Wei said as the last specks of the devil disappeared. An exit instantly manifested not far from within, and he entered it without hesitation. Wang Wei's mind became clearer than he had ever felt. Many of the previous emotions he was struggling with, like his loneliness, were now easier to manage; they were not gone but more bearable.

'My Dao Heart and mind are not in perfect harmony,' Wang Wei thought. 'Once I pass the tribulation, I can finally experience the transition of my existence to a higher level.'

Wang Wei raised his head to see a purple cloud flashing with lightning and the booming sound of thunder. Wang Wei squinted as he swallowed a handful of Existence Healing Pills: 'Now is the time for the plan.' The cloud had its own consciousness, so after realizing Wang Wei was an Inextinguishable Paragon, the clouds turned a shade darker.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and Wang Wei raised his right palm to block it. His entire right hand disappeared, but he remained calm. 'As expected, the attack potency has increased while still neglecting my Will-Immortality.' In other words, he will die like everyone else in the tribulation, and his willpower cannot provide him with immortality.

'However, this is far from enough,' Wang Wei thought. He inhaled deeply before screaming: "Grand Dao, is this the best you can do? How pathetic?"

The first rule of the Immeasurable Tribulation is never to antagonize the tribulation. Grand Dao will accept any provocation that the cultivator's state of mind has not met the standards to be a Paragon and must be eradicated. Everyone knows that, and this thought has been deeply instilled in all the geniuses from top lineages. Yet, Wang Wei broke this rule. Could he be stupid, or has he gone mad?

"Come on, haven't you always wanted to kill me? Well, I'm giving you the perfect excuse," Wang Wei continued, and with his words, the clouds swiftly turned dark red. Boom! A second bolt of lightning descended from the second, bringing the wrath of Heaven.

Divine Punishment Lightning is something that is common in the lower dimension, but Heavenly Dao does not care much to use it in the upper dimension. However, it does not mean it does not exist. Wang Wei's tribulation is more than enough proof.

His body and soul could not resist that single bolt as they were instantly annihilated. However, his disappearance did not leave his location devoid of any matter or signs of his existence. On the contrary, a scroll with countless dots, lines, and graffiti floated where Wang Wei previously stood.

'The first step is completed,' Wang Wei thought. Although his body and soul were annihilated, his consciousness remained intact and functioning, an act that could be considered a minor miracle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavens became enraged that the little worm was still alive and it unleashed devastating blows after another, trying to eradicate him. However, Wang Wei was prepared. When the first bolt hit, he used the technique he had already prepared to direct all its destructive power to the section of his [Existence] that dictated his status as a Fate Seed.
