The Heaven-Devouring Emperor had an unwilling look as more injuries piled upon his body. So, he contacted someone:
'Chen Chen, where are you?'
'What do you want?' asked a cold and emotionless voice.
'Let's team up to kill one of Wang Wei's most powerful pawns.'
'I'm doing something important.'
'You don't have to test Di Tian anymore.'
'I'm doing something more important,' replied Chen Chen, his tone was plain and never fluctuated. Immediately, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor seemed to have figured out something.
'So, you've betrayed our alliance?' asked the proud Emperor.
'Didn't you expect this outcome already?'
'Yes, but I thought you could wait until the last moment.'
'It is the last moment,' replied Chen Chen. 'At least for you.'
'Do you think I will die here?'
'I know you will.'
'And why is that?' he asked, not hiding the sneer in his tone.
'I will give you one last piece of information,' added Chen Chen. 'There is a mysterious power hiding your battle. And from my analysis, it is unlike anything I have seen–even from the best Dao Ancestors.
'If I guess correctly, our communication was allowed on purpose.'
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor's face changed; the trembling of his body opened his many wounds, thus increasing the blood all over his body. And during this conversation, Wang Ju never stopped talking.
'Chen Chen, what about what I promised? How are you going to deal with your situation?' asked the Heaven-Devouring Emperor after swiftly calming down.
'My problem will be solved after proving the Dao and becoming an Eternal,' replied Chen Chen.
'Do you think it's that simple?' countered the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. Unfortunately, he received no reply.
"Damn it," he cursed out loud.
'The target has reached a critical state,' analyzed Wang Ju. 'Now, we can proceed to the next step.'
She waved her wrist to flicker her dagger. Then, countless gray strings appeared around him.
[Fate String Cutting]
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor saw something flash before his eyes before an intense pain emanated from his right side. As he glanced, he saw a fountain of blood gushing out of his body: his right hand was missing.
[Phoenix Flame]
He hurriedly used Huo Fenghuang's power, which he had previously absorbed. Although he did not get enough of her blood to acquire her bloodline, he could use some of her powers that he absorbed.
However, as soon as he grew the right arm, he lost the left one.
'This attack is unblockable by the current me,' he thought as he detected how this technique was extremely fast as it ignored space-time. Furthermore, it locked on his karma, luck, and fate, making it virtually impossible to dodge or escape.
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor secretly sighed, calming himself down in the process. He predicted this possible outcome when planning for this battle. He knew there was a difference between Wang Wei with 5-Root Dao Ancestor prowess, and someone like him who used items or artifacts to acquire such strength.
As such, he never thought he would win easily.
Clink!
A shock bounced Wang Ju's attack, forcing her to fly back hundreds of meters. Although she was unharmed, she was surprised the latter blocked her attack. Of course, the emotions a well-trained assassin displays cannot be trusted.
She gazed in the distance and saw a dark gold armor around the Heaven-Devouring Emperor's armor.
"Another Dao Artifact," she muttered with concentrated eyes. Then, she detected something else as she looked at his boots and felt the unique Dao Rhymes emanating from them.
"An Artifact set based on attack, defense, and speed."
However, this was not the end. The Heaven-Devouring Emperor activated his Pseudo Dao Body and turned into a giant trillion kilometers tall. A red flag floated above his head, releasing a lot of blood energy.
'An Emperor Artifact used for healing by absorbing and storing blood energy,' analyzed Wang Ju. 'His body and soul cannot sustain using such a powerful Dao Artifact, so he used the Emperor Artifact to provide him with enough energy.'
She concentrated her senses. She sensed that her opponent's activation of the Emperor Artifact had almost reached the same level as her young master. That's a scary thing, given the young master's current strength.
'That's understandable since he was an Eternal Emperor. If not for the limit of Mo Xingyun's flesh and soul, he would have been an even scarier opponent.'
Before the battle, the Fate Shadow, Wang Wei, and the team had many meetings analyzing the power of every Heaven Chosens. They stimulated the possible development of these geniuses based on the data displayed.
They also stimulated possible trump cards they would use.
