Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 852

852 The Plan

Wang Ju watched helplessly as the colossal claw descended upon her with a power she knew for a fact she could not resist. Oddly, she was remarkably calm as death approached her.

Her demeanor made it impossible to determine whether she had accepted her fate or had something else on her sleeve.

As her final fate approached, many people waited with bated breath. Some viewers outside felt her defeat might change Di Tian's current situation. After all, these two shadows displayed prowess that shocked the world.

The people who did not know about the Lord Shadow Technique were freaking out as they believed a third person in this generation acquired the power of a Great Emperor.

Meanwhile, other people believe Di Tian's only victory will not change his predicament. Although the final victory will be decided by the battle between these two unparalleled geniuses that have never appeared in the history of the Myriad Emperor World, these generals might play a significant role if used correctly.

Meanwhile, Di Tian and Wang Wei observed the final clash between these Shadows.

Di Tian was not worried about Wang Ju's death since he already ordered Demonraise to capture her alive at all costs. However, he was on guard, preparing to intervene and intercept.

As long as she captures Wang Ju, his chances of victory will increase drastically. Regardless, he did not celebrate yet, as he knew she would not go down without fighting back.

More importantly, Wang Wei will not allow anything to happen to his people; his nature will not allow such a thing to happen. Although cold and calculating, he had a weak spot for his friends and family.

Di Tian knew of this since their first battle in the Heavenly Abode World. When he schemed against him, his intuition could have allowed him to escape alive and unscathed.

However, Li Jun and Yan Liling would have died in that world. So, he saved them while staying behind, knowing the danger.

Di Tian observed his opponent and saw his expression or aura had no change for a moment during the entire situation, making it impossible for people to know what was on his mind.

Then, Di Tian suddenly squinted.

Wang Ju disappeared at the very last minute.

'No, that fluctuation–Shadow Switch,' thought Di Tian, his mind as everything that occurred before he happened in slow motion.

Wang Ju disappeared, and someone else took her place–Li Jun.

Bang!

The mighty general who walked the path of Slaughter did not have a chance, as his body, soul, and Dao were instantly annihilated. Demonraise's attack was meant for Wang Ju, and Li Jun could not even sustain the latter's attempt at capturing him.

Furthermore, Wang Ju's sudden disappearance made Demonraise's mind fluctuate and his attack slightly uncontrollable.

'Li Jun is dead?' thought Di Tian, his mind galloping like wild horses that were provoked. He concentrated on controlling his emotions and remaining calm.

'He sacrificed Li Jun for Wang Ju? This doesn't make sense for many reasons. Plus, such an act does not fit his character.'

Then, Di Tian's face suddenly changed as he thought of something. And immediately, he also sensed something–but it was too late.

Wang Wei and Wang Ju were already before him, their aura reaching the pinnacle. Wang Ju had replaced her two Fake Dao Weapons with Emperor Artifacts.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei's Proving Dao Artifact had already turned into a sword, and the aura he released was similar to a supreme swordsman like his father.

[Fate Cutting]

They used the same attack as they swung their respective weapon in tandem. Upon closer observation, people would notice their breath, body, soul, and Dao resonated with each other similar to a formation, combining and elevating their attack to a higher level.

Their attack did not create a regular slash. Instead, a projection of the River of Fate manifested in the Western Quadrant. The river was composed of countless tiny strings, yet it behaved fluidly like water. However, none of that mattered, as most people who laid eyes on it would be in awe at its beauty, majesty, and horror behind its implications.

Am I in control of my fate?

People cultivate for various reasons: strength, power, political status and influence, immortality, fear of death, and freedom. However, no matter the reason, as they become more powerful and learn of the world's secrets, they will ask themselves that question at one point or another.

Sadly, few people can actually find the answer. And once they do, plenty wish they had never asked in the first place.

After the River of Fate manifested, it followed the trajectory of Wang Wei and Wang Ju's swords, generating a silver-gray moon slash that rushed toward Di Tian with absolute speed.
