Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835 Li Jun vs Di Jiaying (IV)

Li Jun's true attack reached his opponent, and Di Jiaying's nightmare began; no, it was a test of will.

Di Jiaying's head exploded as a watermelon dropped from more than a hundred meters into the air; her soul scattered, and her Dao disappeared.

She then revived herself.

Then, she had her spine ripped out of her back, blood dripping all over the sky. In less than a second, she was back in a perfect state. For the next few minutes, Di Jiaying experienced the hell of dying thousands of times and reviving. And each process was gruesome and brutal.

She died by having two ice spears jammed into her eye sockets. She died by being forcefully fed hot magma, frying all her internal organs and viscera.

Her lungs began to expand like a bloated balloon before exploding from the inside. She died by Lingchi, a form of torture whose purpose is to make as many cuts on the victims as possible before they die of bleeding. And with Di Jiaying's fleshly body, she did not die after billions of cuts.

Di Jiaying's body became itchy to an irresistible level. Unable to control herself, she scratched her body, peeling off her skin and muscles. She stopped when only bones remained, and her organs fell out of her body.

She died as her flesh melted like a slime-like creature with no skeletons, muscles, flesh, or blood.

In one of her most gruesome deaths, her body's cells mutated, acting like cancer cells that spread without restraint; they spread uncontrollably until she turned into a blob of flesh that people could not distinguish between her mouth, anus, limbs, and heads.

Di Jiaying experienced deaths only privy to mortals, like sickness, old age, and drowning. The sensation of her lungs being filled with water lingered in her mind for the subsequent few deaths after that.

During her Mortal Dust, she intimated one of her courtiers with the promise of killing them by having four horses rip them apart from their limbs as they ran in opposite directions. Well, she finally experienced the pain of such a death.

In a matter of minutes, she experienced hundreds of thousands of deaths, each different and brutal in its own way.

Then, Di Jiaying opened her eyes as she gasped for air; her powerful lungs working harder than they had ever had to. Her complexion was paler than the moonlight during a winter full moon.

'Where am I? Aren't I dead?' She thought with great confusion. 'An illusion?'

Her mind was not working correctly as the pain of each death lingered deep in her soul, overwhelming her senses and spirit.

She reacted swiftly by using a Buddhist Mantra Di Tian taught her to reign in her thoughts and regain her bearing.

'No, this was not a simple illusion,' she thought after sensing the state of her body.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

While trying to understand her situation, Li Jun did not give her opponent time. A rain of spears descended on Di Jiaying, and she tried her best to defend herself. However, with each passing second, countless more cracks appeared on her armor.

Regardless, she focused on analyzing that attack. Otherwise, she might fall for the same technique again.

Di Jiaying then realized that each time she died in the illusion, her body believed it had died and used the appropriate vitality and blood energy to regenerate or revive her. As such, it was as if she had experienced all these deaths.

Di Jiaying marveled at the ingeniousness of this technique as it targeted body refiners directly. Killing a potent body refiner repeatedly is challenging and requires too much energy, effort, and strength.

And this Illusion Technique bypassed these requirements, allowing them to overuse or overload their regeneration capabilities. Furthermore, body refiners have exquisite control of their bodies, allowing them to use the required vitality for healing or regeneration down to the decimal.

However, Li Jun's [Ten Thousand Death Illusion] separated Di Jiaying's consciousness from her body, forcing her flesh to rely on instinct when distributing vitality for healing. And the body is not as accurate as the consciousness.
