Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 696

Ao Shen was in an intense combat against someone from the Pursuing Longevity World, and their battle was relatively equal. Although he did not use his dragon, he used 80% of his power, and the opponent also appeared to have reservations.

'This man is a genius,' he thought. And the reason for that was his opponent broke the barrier between Immortal and Mortal only using a pure Energy System–no strong body or wielding law. Moreover, it was not due to some rare and powerful Qi like Destruction Qi.

The opponent was simply converting whatever inner energy his system used into Five Elements and Yin-Yang Qi, yet he still acquired Immortal Veneable battle prowess.

Ao Shen suddenly stopped and indicated for the other to do the same, "Fellow Daoist, it's obvious this battle is pointless. How about we stop."

"I can't: I need the Eternal Supreme Inheritance," said a young man wearing a blue robe, long black hair, and an immortal or dreamy-like atmosphere.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask for your name?"

"Zhu Tao, from the Mountain and Sea Sect."

"I don't know why Fellow Daoist Zhu wants the inheritance so badly when It's obvious this is a trap."

Zhu Tao hesitated for a moment before answering, "Because of the weakness of the Pure Qi Path, our world has only given birth to two Eternal Emperors and not a single Eternal Supreme.

"I will be the third, but I have no confidence in becoming an Eternal Supreme."

"With your strength, as long as you temper your body and comprehend the law, you have a high chance of succeeding," commented Ao Shen. However, Zhu Tao shook his head.

"My goal is to show Pure Qi Refiners can become Eternal Supreme. I want to change the cultivators in my world; I want to give them hope that our path is not the weakest and has potential."

Zhu Tao has many plans after proving the Dao. He will revitalize the Pure Qi Refiners' path and optimize the cultivation system of his world. He also wanted to change the spirit of the world and have these cultivators stop obsessing over longevity and focus on other things.

As such, he needed an Eternal Emperor Scripture to learn from its uniqueness since it would likely increase his chances of achieving his goals. Ao Shen's eyes lit up as he thought of something:

"I may be able to help."

"Oh, how?"

"I know the inheritance place of the only Eternal Supreme of the Martial Hegemony World. If we work together, we might be able to get it."

"And why didn't you get it yourself?" asked Zhu Tao. Despite his young face, he has lived for nearly a hundred million years.

"The inheritance is from the Martial Beast Emperor," explained Ao Shen. "According to history, his family abandoned him in the wild when he was only three years old because of poverty. However, he was not killed by demonic or wild beasts instead.

"Instead, a wolf raised. As the Martial Beast Emperor walked in the cultivation path, he signed a contract with the wolf and trained it from a wild beast to a Tier 9 demon with a unique bloodline.

"In the final battle, the two teamed up to wipe out all geniuses of that generation. And after proving the Dao, brother Martial Beast Emperor and the wolf evolved to the Emperor Realm."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know exactly, but I'm guessing it has to do with whatever Dao he cultivated." Ao Shen did not find this fact surprising since he knew of the Yin-Yang Companion Emperor, who used the Infatuation Flower to become Emperor.

"The inheritance of the Martial Beast Emperor requires a human and demon to acquire it. Before, I did not have anyone I trusted."

"And you trust me?"

"Of course not. However, I trust you more than the humans in my world. Furthermore, we do not have any conflict of interest and can peacefully cooperate."

Zhu Tao pondered for a moment. Although he would like to have a normal Eternal Supreme Scripture, but one as unique as the Martial Beast Emperor's might better help him. Furthermore, he did not have much choice since the probability that the inheritance trial he was doing on this continent was nothing but a hoax.

Of course, he knew the demon was not only doing this because of the inheritance. His objective seemed to become closer and maybe even form an alliance.
