Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 - Not The Destined One

Wang Wei was not the only one momentarily frozen but also everything around him. The flame in the room, the dust on the ground, the spirit of inheritance, and even the space in the surrounding.

When everything returned to normal, Wang Wei found himself standing in his original place, before he raised his hand to take the scripture. He could not tell whether time returned backward before he raised his hand, or he just subconsciously did so.

He did not know when but a young man stood in front of him, He had long hair dancing with the wind, dressed in blue robes with flame patterns on them.

He was handsome but not too handsome; he appeared to be more like a mortal than a cultivator. His eyes were very bright, and after one glance at them, Wang Wei was almost fascinated.

He saw time, space, matter, chaos, and many other concepts. But all of these concepts were burned off by this indescribable flame. This flame seemed to be one yet millions of different ones at once.

If he did not control himself, he could feel that he would be lost in these eyes, and even would his Dao would be affected and change to Flame. So, he used his will to remove himself from the state of enlightenment that he felt was coming.

Immediately, he guessed the identity of this person: the Flame Emperor. After realizing this, Wang Wei was a little surprised as the Flame Emperor gave him a different feeling than Emperor Kong that he met.

He felt more mysterious, more powerful.

'From what I guessed, Emperor Kong was most likely an Empyrean, does that mean the Flame Emperor is a Paragon? Or is he in a higher stage than Empyrean but not yer a Paragon?'

While Wang Wei was looking at the Flame Emperor and analyzing him, the latter was doing the same too. A few seconds after appearing, the Emperor finally spoke.

"What an ingenious method, stealing the fate of someone and taking on their identity, talent, memories, soul, Luck, and even Karma."

Then, he slightly waved his hand and Wang Wei and Lou Cheng were instantly separated. Lou Cheng laud unconscious on the floor while Wang Wei stood calmly looking at the Flame Emperor.

Meanwhile, the latter waved his hand and the [Ten Thousand Flame Sutra] that was floating in the air rushed into Lou Cheng's Sea of Consciousness and was sealed away.

"Although this lad is not as talented as you, he is destined to inherit my mantle," said the Flame Emperor as he looked at Wang Wei.

"Are you the descendant of the Qiyuan Emperor?"

"Junior has seen the Flame Emperor."

"*Sigh* Your Wang Clan is truly a blessed bloodline."

Wang Wei felt that these words did not just praise his talent but had a different meaning. However, he did not ask any further questions. The moment he saw the Flame Emperor, he had the urge to ask about his plan to use the Origin Pill Flame Scripture to refine his Primordial Spirit; whether it was possible to succeed, and what other things to watch out for.

However, he refrained from doing so as this would involve his Paragon Soul. Wu Hong has warned him not to reveal this secret to anyone, and she even helps train in the [Empress Wu Sealing Sutra] to place a seal on his soul to prevent others from peeping at it.

So, he immediately gave up the idea.

"I understand that one of the main reasons that he was able to achieve so much in such a short period of time is because of you. So, I will not let you waste your time in vain," continued the Flame Emperor.

With a wave of his hand, a blue cauldron appeared in the room, then, Wang Wei was absorbed inside of it. Meanwhile, the Flame Emperor shook his head calmly.

"What a talented young lad. As an Eternal Talent, he has a high chance of becoming an Eternal Emperor."

Thinking about Eternal Emperors, the Flame Emperor sighed with a little dejection. When he proved the Dao, he was so close to becoming one, you could say that he missed a single step.

Back then, he had the strength of an Eternal Emperor but unfortunately, not their means and abilities. This has been a sore spot for him in his path of cultivation.

After shaking his head slightly, he had a look of regret on his face:

"If this lad was not a Supreme Outlaw, his accomplishments would still be unimaginable. And if survived, he will probably shake things in the Eternal Ascencion World and maybe even cut off the roots of these parasites."

After saying these words, the Flame Emperor paused as he suddenly had a whim. As higher dimensional creatures, his whims were not for no reason. So, his eyes suddenly changed to contain space and time.
