Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 677

Ao Shen watched as an illusory figure of a phoenix manifested above Envy's head before disappearing. He did not hesitate to rush toward her, leaving shadows in his traveling path.

A beautiful and potent flame shield emanated from the spot he attacked her, trying to burn his hand into smithereens. Unfortunately, he had a naturally powerful body as a dragon.

Ao Shen tried to break the shield with pure physical force, but Envy infinitely increased the temperature, countering his power. Then, a black energy cloud came from the dragon's body and instantly corroded the flame, turning them black.

Ao Shen gained control of this intense flame and turned them into its owner, forcing Envy on the defensive. She knew she would be injured by such flame even with the power of the immortal Phoenix, so she decided against direct confrontation.

The phantom of a unique demon race called Tortoise Beetle manifested above her, and she condensed this beautiful golden shield to protect her. Regrettably, beauty does not equate to strength.

The shield only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough time for her to distance herself from the aggressive dragon. At least, that was the plan.

Ao Shen suddenly appeared above her, opened his mouth to become larger than humanely possible, and spewed a devastating breath of darkness.

Envy acted swiftly as she mirrored the ability of the Kunpeng, the creature often recognized as the fastest between Heaven and Earth. She ran in a circular pattern to avoid the breath, ensuring not to come close in contact with it as she saw the devastation it left behind wherever it touched.

'Dao of Darkness with a focus on corrosion and decay,' analyzed Envy since this was part of the reasons she came here. If the alliance did not work out, she needed to gather as much information as possible.

Meanwhile, Ao Shen cared little for analysis, which can be seen as a flaw. His time in the Martial Hegemony World taught him not to give his opponent the time to breathe and to kill them as quickly and efficiently as possible since anything could happen in battle.

And that is what he's doing.

[Rain of Corrosion]

The bright sky in the surrounding suddenly turned dark as the clouds became the embodiment of darkness. Then, rains dropped from the sky, but they were not normal ones: they were black and traveled countless times faster than light. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

'He's an Innate Lifeform, as expected,' thought Envy as she sensed his Innate law. However, her ugly facial expression indicated it was not the time to think about these things.

Her mind worked rapidly to think of a solution, and she chose the Black Tortoise as her next mirror. A black and white shield manifested above her head. At first, the drop of black rain would corrode the barrier, but Envy reversed Yang and Yin, making the black rain turn into their opposite: light.

Regrettably, her advantage did not last long. Ao Shen opened his mouth a second time to fire a breath of darkness, forcing Envy to defend herself against his two-front attack.

Phew!

Envy's eyes grew with surprise. She looked down at her stomach to see a black spear piercing her stomach. If her body did not instinctively move, it would have been her heart.

She moved her head behind to see its origin, "S-Shadow?"

"Why are you surprised? Shadows are one of the many ways darkness is manifested," replied Ao Shen with a sneer before rushing toward her. Envy had a very limited to come up with countermeasures. Luckily, she survived the trial and had a plethora of battle experiences.

Boom!

Envy exploded herself, generating a flame bomb that sent Ao Shen back and even charred the skin on his arm. Then, from the center of the explosion, a new Envy rose from the ashes like a phoenix. Sadly, she was not perfectly intact, as her complexion was pale.

'Danm Duyi Realm,' she complained as she gazed at him, her eyes flashing with a cold light. As Ao Shen spread his cultivation to the demon race, the stages of his Duyi Realm drastically increased. Now, he is only waiting to reach the Quasi Emperor Realm to fuse with his clones that received the benefit of the orthodox Duyi Realm with his main body, which has the unorthodox Duyi Realm.

"Let's see how you enjoy having your power used against you."

A new phantom appeared behind Envy, and it was the spitting image of Ao Shen. Then, the power of Darkness flashed around her.

"A Mirror Devil Subspecies who can reflect or mirror things and the Dao of Envy, which involves self-loathing and being jealous to the point of wanting to become others," commented Ao Shen. "It's the perfect combination to copy other people's powers. But can you really copy everybody?"

"No, but the only thing special about you is your Innate Law and the privileges Heavenly Dao granted them, and I don't need to copy those."

Ao Shen squinted his eyes, 'I need to be more careful.' He realized the opponent's strength was relative to him, so he could not eliminate her as swiftly as he wished. So, his cautious nature has awakened.

Ao Shen's arm turned into a black shadow as he punched forward.

[Corrosion Punch]

Envy followed him and used the same technique, canceling out his attack. Ao Shen went for a fist-to-fist battle since he is more comfortable with this fighting mode as a martial artist.

Bang!
