Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451 True Purpose

A breaking sound echoed deep in Ji Chengming's soul, activating the protective mechanism left to him by his father—an enormous face that kept morphing into countless facial expressions to express thousands of emotions. The emotions varied, but they also had one thing in common: obsession.

The obsession manifested in many shapes: the intense desire to survive, the intense anger to seek revenge by all means, and the rage of killing people who have wronged you beyond words can explain. It did not matter what the intense emotions/desires or the obsessions were; it manifested in this singular face.

Boom!

Tian Xuan's sword finally landed, but the effect could be described as ridiculously useless. Ji Chengming survived but did not look happy; on the contrary, he seemed furious, probably because Tian Xuan pushed him to such a level.

"Destroy him," Ji Chengming ordered. As soon as these words left his mouth, the obsession creature released a terrifying tower that shook the entire trial for a few seconds.

'This aura,' Wang Wei thought; this face reminded him when he faced Supreme Unity. He squinted his eyes, waiting for what was to come. Besides, Tian Xuan was the only person calm throughout the situation.

"Stop!' Sir Lu said, and his words contained immense power as the face suddenly became immobilized. "This is the second time you've broken the rules." Ji Chengming was not allowed to teleport outside the tower during his fight, but he still did it. However, Sir Lu had not reprimanded him since he returned immediately.

"Get the fuck out of my way," Ji Chengming said coldly. Now that he was forced to activate his protective measures, he would annihilate his opponent for bringing him shame and humiliation.

"Your actions have violated the rules, meaning you have officially lost this match," Sir Lu declared calmly. Tian Xuan deactivated his [Awakening], returning to his former handsome face.

'Interesting,' Wang Wei thought. 'It seems the trial spirits are using this opportunity to establish their prestige. Let's see where their confidence comes from.'

"And?" Ji Chengming sneered. "What are you going to do about it?"

"The rules are clear. Since you lost, you must die," Sir Lu replied calmly before snapping his finger to manifest a towering clear palm that descended directly toward Ji Chengming. The myriad face creature turned into a dark green shield to protect him, but its power was utterly useless before the palm. Then, for the second time in his life, Ji Chengming experienced genuine fear.

"You are quite bold," said a gentle voice with a hint of laziness. The clear palm disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes accompanied by a background of a universe full of vivid and bright colors like a rainbow.

"No, you're the bold one, Ji Liuyu," Sir Lu said calmly. "You know the rules, but you send your people here and expect them to break them or act as if they don't apply to them."

"Cheng'er is young and brash, so it's normal if he makes a few mistakes," Ji Liuyu replied calmly. "However, this does not mean you have the right to execute him."

"And what are you going to do if I insist?"

The two stared at each other for a brief moment. "You know your situation, so why are you doing this?" Ji Liuyu asked with a sigh.

"It's not your time to judge what we do," Sir Lu countered back.

"What do you want?"

"Take your people and leave."

"Cheng'er is the only one who broke the rules, so why are you exiling everyone?"

Sir Lu frowned. He immediately realized these people would not give up. "Fine, but you must pay to take him away."
