Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 598

598 Buddhism vs Taoism (3)

'I wonder whether the Duyi Realm will evolve into Dao Will after I reach the Tenth Extremity? Or, at least, a pseudo version of it,' thought Wang Wei as he looked at Monk Wuzhi and Zhang Yucheng's clash of the Duyi Realm. They were on the 9th stage--which is normal for most people who attempt to complete the Nine Extemity Foundation.

For example, he was currently in the 8th stage since he was in the Saint Realm. From the Body Tempering Realm to the Primordial Spirit, he ensured that each of the realms was unique, allowing him to reach the 6th stage.

As for the Void Shattering Realm, he entered the 7th stage after his first incarnation entered the same realm. This is because he now had two Law Alter/Law Trees, and his incarnations were connected through his [Existence].

However, back then, he could only use the Duyi 7th Stage after fusing or borrowing the power of his incarnations. Wang Wei's main body truly entered the 7th stage after his Law Tree turned silver.

The uniqueness of his Saint Realm was the fact that he had nine Domains and that his Domain exceeded the limit of 1.269 trillion kilometers. This was after hearing his ancestors preach.

Regarding the future of the Duyi Realm after achieving the Ten Extremities Foundation, Wang Wei did not know what would happen. He had no information regarding this level of foundation as no one probably ever reached this level–at least, not in the Eternal Ascension World.

Once he succeeded, he was still undetermined about what would happen. There was a chance that nothing occurred since the tenth extremity was nothing but a foundation and since nothing in the realms became "unique." But there is also the possibility of an unknown transformation after a mortal truly breaks the boundary between mortal and immortal, acquiring the power of a Great Emperor.

'I guess we will wait and see.'

For a moment, he ignored Monk Wuzhi's desperate attacks as his gaze pierced through the void, and he saw an even more destructive battle. More than ten Dao Ancestors and an Immortal Venerable faced each other.

'The mercenaries are holding up better than expected,' thought Wang Wei after noticing that the people the sect hired could keep up with the people working with Zhang Yucheng.

Wang Wei had prepared for the unexpected and gave these people some talismans to help them in an emergency. He tasked them with keeping the enemy at bay for as long as needed. However, these mercenaries' display of power was better than he anticipated, given they were loose cultivators.

After checking the situation, he focused on the current battle. Monk Wuzhi had a few more scars on his body, but they were minor compared to the first two. He closed his eyes as he used palm attacks, directly clashing against Zhang Yucheng's Chaos-Grade magic artifact sword.

Monk Wuzhi opened his eyes, which were profound as if he was a man who saw through the veil of existence.

[Higher Consciousness]

Monk Wuzhi's eyes became clearer as he could now see the world differently; he was not limited by sight, sense, soul, spirit, or mind. He elevated his internal and external senses to a higher essence, allowing him to see things he could previously not see–for example, the unknown, the unmanifest, or the nonexistent.

He raised his palm in one direction, generating a powerful shockwave that made the void tremble. Although it appeared Monk Wuzhi attacked empty air, he and Zhang Yucheng knew he targeted the Wuji Sword.

"Impossible," said Zhang Yucheng, unable to comprehend what had occurred. In their previous battle, the monk was forced to tank all his attacks once he used the Wuji Sword. But now, he could detect and possibly evade his attack.

Monk Wuzhi was not in the habit of giving his opponent the time to think or brief. Although he was benevolent at heart, Buddha also had a wrathful side.

[Essence-Spirit Attack]

Bang!

Monk Wuzhi's palm landed on Zhang Yucheng's chest, caving it inward. The Taoist priest flew a dozen meters away, coughing blood. Adding to that, he had a massive headache.

The palm affected his body (Essence), and the injury was transferred to his soul (Spirit). Luckily, he used a body refining technique that used the constant revolution of Yin and Yang to temper the flesh.

Nevertheless, his soul was more fragile than his body, making injuries even harder to deal with.

Zhang Yucheng used his Duyi Realm to try his best to remove his opponent's effect so he could heal. Unfortunately, they were in the same stage and had similar levels of control and application. As such, the process would take time–something he did not have.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He swung his sword nonstop, but Monk Wuzhi easily dodged.
