Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 814

Feng Heng looked at her, his eyes and demeanor as peaceful as ever. He knew something was wrong with Zhen Biyu the moment she showed up.

He was very confident in his plan, so his tactic for this battle involved this ability. After learning from Monk Wuzhi that he had no chance of winning this battle, he investigated why the latter believed so and learned about the existence of the Nine Extremity Foundation.

So, he planned to wait until the two titans–Di Tian and Wang Wei–decided the victor before confronting the weakened winner. And his plan worked for a while.

No one could find him–even Wang Wei. And yet, everything changed as Zhen Biyu somehow discovered his hiding place.

'No matter what method she used showed she is not simple,' analyzed Feng Heng. 'Could she be like me? Possessed by someone else?'

Cultivators often despised Body Possession as it's better to recreate a fleshly body. After all, it's extremely difficult to make a soul perfectly fit with a foreign body.

So, there are a few occasions where body possession is used. The first one is poverty. Many cultivators do not have the means or resources to recreate their fleshly bodies.

The second reason is to increase talent through possession. This method is one of the ways cultivated can remove the shackles of their talent. However, they still have to deal with the issue of Essence and Spirit not 100% fitting together.

'Then, there is the possibility of some Emperor reviving themselves using the Heaven Will,' pondered Feng Heng. 'If that's the case, it would explain why she could find me.

'No, even a normal Emperor cannot easily find me.'

It's harder for him to use his hiding ability now that he has a fleshly body. Regardless, he was still confident not any regular Emperor could find him.

Feng Heng slowly stood up from his sitting position. He held the praying beads in his left hand while keeping his right hand in a praying position.

'I should be cautious of whether she is the real Zhen Biyu. But, I can also take this opportunity to test her.'

Feng Heng was peaceful at the fact his plan for this battle was ruined. He knew Zhen Biyu's arrival already got the attention of either Di Tian or Wang Wei–most likely, the latter.

And knowing how Wang Wei operated, he would never allow him to hide again. Regardless, Feng Heng was calm about the entire ordeal. As for the reason?

There are two, the first one being his new state of mind. After witnessing the revival of Buddhism, he became enlightened, and his state of mind was elevated. The depression, sadness, hopelessness, and heavy sense of mission he carried on his shoulder for billions of years were now removed.

The second and foremost reason is that he has the Heart of Hope and the Merit Proving Method. As such, Feng Heng knew he was fated to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.

With such a mindset, the battle, for him, was simply a way to enhance his benefit. If he could prove the Dao on his own and use the Heart of Hope and the Merit Proving Method, his strength would drastically improve.

'Losing is acceptable,' thought Feng Heng. 'However, I should also not give up until the last minute.'

"Layman, let's begin."

After saying these words, a golden array appeared underneath Feng Heng's feet. Then, a legion of men dressed in thin leather appeared with no weapon or armor. However, all the soldiers had copper-colored skins with golden lights flashing in their eyes.

"I am very proud of this Vajra Legion. Layman, please, have a try."

Zhen Biyu frowned, "Monk, how about we don't mess around and skip these unnecessary steps?"

She wanted to save time fighting with troops. Legions are useless for geniuses of their level–unless they are truly unique.

Zhen Biyu was initially confident of winning this battle. However, after meeting certain people and using secret techniques to detect their strengths, she realized how laughable such an idea was.

Nevertheless, she did not immediately give up. Her plans to steal the luck of Taoism can still benefit her. As long as she gets her hands on it, the trip to this battlefield would have been worth it.

As such, she did not want to waste time with the monk in case something unexpected occurred.

"Please," replied Feng Heng, shaking his head while simultaneously making a motion for her to make a move. She knew little about her opponent, while the latter probably knew much about him.

So, the best choice is to use his troops to force her to reveal some of her abilities.

"Are you Buddhist monks all about compassion? Why are you willing to let these poor soldiers die right before you? How can you be so cruel?" taunted Zhen Biyu with a sneer. "The hypocrisy is one of the many reasons your sect was wiped out from history."
