Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 Limit Breaker

An older man with long white hair tied loosely in a bun, a long white beard, and wearing a plain black robe–looked at the trespasser before him. His pure eyes, which seemed to contain the entire world, calmly looked at the young man before him.

"A clone?" the older man said in a deep voice. Then, his eyes seemed to penetrate an infinite distance to see a young man sealed underneath a mountain.

"Finally found a perfect 9 Extremity Dao Foundation. Although he cannot reach the absolute peak power of 5-Root, it is still 5-Root."

"Who are you?" asked Di Tian's clone with vigilance. "And what do you mean you've been waiting for me?"

He did not understand the words coming out of this person's mouth. Di Tian used a massive amount of luck to reach this place. Most of these lucks were gathered by Sleepers when both Buddhism and the Devil race were destroyed.

Many people swallowed the Qi Luck of these two groups, and his Sleepers took part in the feast. He tried using his luck to counter Heavenly Dao's scheming against him, but according to his calculation, his Luck only allowed for his survival and even his reincarnation.

Otherwise, he might have reincarnated as an animal with no memories or in some Heaven-forsaken world with no chance at survival. In his last reincarnation, Di Tian used a lot of this luck to ensure that nothing unexpected occurred this time around.

And now, he used the remaining to find a fortunate encounter that could help him break the limit of his 9th reincarnation strength and win this generation's, Heaven Will.

The older man did not immediately reply to Di Tian. After observing his real body, he sensed something else.

"Another one?" he muttered as he found the source. Then, he saw a naked young man with gray hair and eyes lying on a bed with another woman. However, the older man's heart skipped a beat as the woman looked straight at him.

'Odd. Why does this person who only has the strength of an Eternal Emperor give me a sense of dread? No, why did she notice me in the first place? And why does she seem familiar?'

After thinking about it for a while, the older man decided not to think about the situation; he did not have time to waste. After a quick check, he saw the grey eyes young man was an unorthodox Nine Extremity Foundation, but he was not perfect and would only have 4-Root Strength at best.

Although commendable for having such a result with an unorthodox method, it was not what he was looking for. However, he sensed another extremity aura from that boy's body and checked.

'3-Root? Forget it.'

Then, the older man searched the entire Endless Void for another Nine Extremity Foundation. He essentially saw almost every secret of the lower dimension but did not find anything. Once he finished, the older man became a little more transparent.

Finally, he laid eyes on Di Tian.

"My name is Empyrean Nine Pillars; you can call me Nine Pillar."

The clone immediately cupped his hands and said: "Young generation, Di Tian, has seen the noble Empyrean."

"I don't have time to waste, so I'll get to the point."

Nine Pillar then explained the concept of the Nine Extremity Foundation to him, including the orthodox and unorthodox methods and the qualifications. However, Di Tian's eyes immediately became bloodshot as he clenched his hand.

"So, you're telling me I did not have to go through all Nine Reincarnations? I could have simply created nine clones to get the power I want?"

He did not care about the so-called Nine Extremity Foundation. All he wanted was the power to revive his wife. And if he did not have to suffer through all these reincarnations, pain, and failures, he could have proven the Dao countless eras ago.

"Don't be mad. The unorthodox method has the highest failure rate of the two approaches, and the difficulty of achieving perfection is a thousand times more difficult.

"Furthermore, Samsara Dao is perfect for the orthodox method, having the highest chance of success through the constant nourishment after each reincarnation.

"And the fact you have comprehended a tiny part of [Existence] made it easier for you to absorb your Cultivation Seed, thus boosting your success rate of achieving perfection."

Unfortunately, Di Tian did not care what Nine Pillar said. For a moment, all he could think about was all the time he wasted; how he could have been holding his wife's body long ago, enjoying her warmth.

Nevertheless, he took a deep breath to reign out his hatred and anger toward the world.

Nine Pilla watched how Di Tian regained his composure. He analyzed that the latter accidentally walked on the orthodox path of the Nine Extremity and even achieved perfection through some level of luck or coincidence.

Nevertheless, he knew this kid's situation should be special to require him to have to reincarnate so often. But, he did not care about that.

"I will tell you my story to understand my purpose in bringing you here," said Nine Pillar before giving a half-minute explanation of his life.

He was born in the upper dimension, and his master, Emperor Red Spear, took him as a direct disciple when he was young. His master had high standards for him, so he immediately told Nine Pillar about the Nine Extremity Foundation with the hope of cultivating it.

And Nine Pillar did not disappoint. After his master paid a hefty price to have an Eternal Emperor preach about [Existence] to him, he managed to comprehend something.

However, his master did not want him to walk the unorthodox path due to the low percentage of success, not to mention Red Spear wanted him to achieve perfection or the power of 5-Root.

At the same time, he could not easily go through the orthodox method in the Eternal Ascension World because of the stricter rules about Samsara. No mortals can keep their memories intact after going through reincarnation.

If they want to keep their memories, an Empyrean or Tier 11 cultivators at the weakest must use their powers to protect the mortal's memories. Furthermore, going through nine reincarnations could have many complications in the upper dimension.

So, his master sent him to the lower dimension to accomplish the Nine Extremity Foundation. He abandoned his cultivation to start over. Then, Nine Pillar tempered his souls, energy, body, Dao Heart, and Willpower to the absolute peak before condensing his Cultivation Seed, or Extremity Seed, as that was the official name.

He joined a powerful Emperor Lineage to gather resources. Because of the restrictions, his master could not help him in this aspect. Then, when it was time, he did not fight for the [Heaven Will] but reincarnated instead.

After Nine Reincarnations, Nine Pillar not only completed his Nine Extremity Foundation but reached perfection with the battle strength of a 5-Root Dao Ancestor. However, Nine Pillar was not satisfied, so on his last reincarnation, he condensed nine clones to cultivate to the peak of the Mortal Realm before absorbing them.

His strength did increase drastically. According to his calculation, he had the battle strength of a 5-Root Dao Ancestor with 4.9% control of the Grand Dao Source.

Regrettably, Nine Pillar was not satisfied. As he felt the limit of the Nine Extremity, he wanted to go beyond it. His master warned him that it was impossible, but he wanted to try. So, he asked his master for him to find a way to remove the limitation of only nine reincarnations.

His master then used countless precious resources in the upper dimension to refine an Immortal Soul Essence for him, allowing him to undergo 81 Reincarnations.
