Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448 Tian Xuan vs Ji Chengming (I)

As soon as they entered the tower, Sir Lu appeared between them. "Do you guys understand the rules? You have chosen a life and death battle, meaning no outside interference until one person dies."

"We know," Ji Chengming said coldly.

"No, you don't understand. If someone loses, the tower will be responsible for annihilating the loser — whether they are a Boundless Paragon or not. That's what you are agreeing to."

Tian Xuan and Ji Chengming frowned as they understood the implications. Their kind was not easy to kill, so their current animosity might be resolved when they realized the difficulty of killing each other. But under the trial's rules, this was a true life-and-death battle.

"That's fine by me," Tian Xuan said first.

"I am no coward," Ji Chengming replied, still prideful and confident.

"Good," Sir Lu nodded with a smile. Since they know the rules and agree, no one can complain to them afterward. "According to the trial's rules, your battle will be exhibited to other participants at a price. 80% of the proceeds will go to the victor, and the rest to us. Is that understood?"

"Stop wasting time!"

"Don't rush me," Sir Lu complained. "One last thing: do you want to choose an environment for this battle or fight in the void?"

"If this loser needs to choose an environment to give himself an advantage, I don't mind," Tian Xuan said casually.

"The void is fine," Ji Chengming replied. Anyway, everything will be destroyed, and unlike what his bastard of an opponent suggested, he did not need an advantage.

"Then, let this fight begin," Sir Lu announced. The people outside had already paid an exorbitant price for this fight, and through their token, they could watch it as if they were next to the fighters. As soon as Sir Lur uttered these words, Tian Xuan and Ji Chengming started the fight with an aura clash.

'Hmm? Tian Xuan's cultivation has reached the First Heaven,' Wang Wei immediately noticed, but that was the least of his surprise. 'That aura — he's a Dao Overlord.' His aura was not of someone who used an Outlaw Dao but was granted an exception by Grand Dao, but that of someone who passed the Outlaw Trial.

'Well, it makes sense. If Grand Dao wanted someone to stop me, it has to be someone who can match me physically and intellectually,' Wang Wei analyzed calmly as he continued watching this battle.

The two participants started stacking their strength, and in a few seconds, they both reached 8-fold of the Battle Realm.

'As expected, this Ji Chengming is not simple,' Wang Wei thought. Tian Xuan's cultivation was higher than the latter, but Ji Chengming's Battle Realm reached the same level. More importantly, Wang Wei discovered one of the techniques the latter used for stacking involved obsession, and it was more refined than Xu Shi's or his technique.

Swish!

The two teleported toward each other and punched forward. The energy wave created by their clash would have devastated worlds if not for their current environment, but no one cared about that. In this clash, Tian Xuan remained in place while Ji Chengming flew back a few meters.

"I forgot you people are a bunch of savage gorillas who value your flesh over your soul," Ji Chengming sneered before using another technique: [Spirit-Essence Harmony]. His powerful soul resonated with his body, fueling its ascension. So, in a matter of seconds, Ji Chengming's weak, fleshly body reached the level of Inextinguishable Paragons.

"Your clan still hasn't figured out the importance of the body? No wonder your founder failed."

"You take that back!"

"Did I say something wrong? It's not my fault if you people inherited his stupidity," Tian Xuan responded calmly. It did not help that he said these words with such a handsome face and an aura that his words were the laws or truths of Heaven and Earth.

'This guy is not stupid, so why is he antagonizing the Heart Desire Palace to such an extent? Is he really that confident about Grand Dao's protection?' Wang Wei thought. His senses have already detected that the woman dressed in men's clothing was looking at Tian Xuan with intense killing intent after what he said.

"Good! Good! Good!" Ji Chengming repeated thrice. "You dare insult my ancestor? Good. My name will no longer be Ji if I don't eradicate you from this mortal coil."
