Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 861

Di Tian realized many things after his injury. The main one is that he lost the rhythm of the battle, making him follow his opponent's desire and only use his fleshly body from the start of the fight.

His mindset has been influenced to prove to Wang Wei that he is better than him in the Fleshly Body Department, thus only using his flesh to compete with the latter.

'And in that competition, I lost completely,' thought Di Tian. He did not reach this conclusion because of his current major injury, but because of another observation he recently noticed.

'He's holding back while I was not,' analyzed Di Tian. During the entire fight, Wang Wei never used the concept in his fleshly body nor transformed into his Ancient Desolate God Form.

Such a fact meant that while he had little to no reservations, his opponent reserved these things as final trump cards. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

'So, what is my next move? Start using my Dao and go all out to defeat him?'

Such a move seemed the best, but Di Tian understood he was already behind. If the battle had a score, he was losing by two. So, moving to the stage of fighting with his Dao did not give him any advantage.

'His tactic was first to weaken me, take control of the battle's rhythm while forcing me to reveal some of my trump cards. I can follow his plan and do the same to him.

'I need a category where I can win over him and regain the momentum of this battle.'

Di Tian's mind went on overdrive as it worked faster than any supercomputer known to future humanity on Earth back in the Prehistoric World.

'The soul. If I can take advantage in a soul battle, I can regain my momentum. And such a victory would have great significance since he is obviously arrogant regarding his soul.'

Di Tian immediately knew this plan was viable. Simultaneously, he also knew this was a complex thing to pull.

'When I first met him, I peeped at his soul and was horrified. I cannot imagine its essence or origin. However, from the Pagoda and my knowledge of him, his soul is not absolute.

'With the right aid, it can be influenced.'

Di Tian's eyes brightened. He would have never tried such a tactic if only he had a Nine Supremacy Foundation. However, to achieve Ten Supremacy, he had to acquire an Innate Emperor Soul.

So, with such a level of soul, he felt his plan could succeed with the proper aid. He swiftly combed through his mind, thinking of the best Illusion Art he could access.

'The Infinite Layer Illusion Art,' thought Di Tian, the Emperor Scripture created by the Ten Tail Emperor, the only Great Emperor from the Fox Clan.

After proving the Dao, many people believed she immediately left, but that was not the complete truth. She finished her Emperor Scripture but did not leave it to the Fox Clan. Instead, she scattered it into the Myriad Emperor World, with the mindset that if the clan is destined, they will find it.

Of course, her main objective was to leave her legacy behind. And in some ways, repay this world's karma for giving birth to her.

However, the person who discovered it was one of their Sleepers. So, it ended in Di Tian's hands.

When it comes to Illusion Dao, the Ten Tail Emperor might only be in the top 20 Emperors in the Myriad Emperor World. However, regarding the uniqueness of her scripture, she is in the top of 5, even the top 3.

All these thoughts flashed in Di Tian's mind at an alarming rate. Then, after making a preliminary plan, he began to act. He waved his hand to manifest a black river above his head.

As soon as the river appeared, Di Tian felt a terrifying gaze with an uncontrollable desire; it was like a man who spent days in the desert without food, discovered civilization and received a proper meal for the first time. The word thing about the sensation was that he was the food in that scenario to that gaze.

Luckily, the situation was so brief that he almost thought he had made a mistake. And what he did not know was a few Divine Punishment Thunder descended on the Nether Hell after he summoned the black river.

Wang Wei looked at that sea, feeling it was something he knew. After taking a moment, he recognized what it was.

"The Black Sea of Forgotten Memories," he murmured before his eyes went blank.

[Heart of Despair]

Di Tian activated his well-crafted illusion before using the Black Sea to boost the strength of the Illusion.

The Black Sea of Forgotten Memories, also known as the Nether Black River, is a body of water usually available in all Reincarnation Stations. Before a soul can reincarnate, they must wash in the black seal, which will erase or seal the memories of their previous life.

The Black Sea is a powerful resource. It is why cultivators will not immediately be born with their memories intact, and that includes Paragons. Only a rare few can reincarnate and instantly remember the memories from their past life.

They usually have to take 5 to 10 years before remembering, or, at the very least, wait until they reach the first cultivation stage of wherever they are reincarnated.

And when it comes to people below the Empyrean Level, it's almost statistically impossible to regain their memories immediately after reincarnating without any foreign aid like a treasure.

And even amongst Empyreans, only Everlasting one who has understood their [True Self] have the chance of reawakening their memories as soon as possible.

During his long life, Di Tian has washed his soul in the Black Sea of Forgotten Memories multiple times. And one time, he tried to steal some of its water and succeeded.

His plan for the water was to refine it into an Insurgent Qi. As long as he had enough of it, it was possible to create an Eternal Emperor Tier Insurgent Qi.

The second option he had for this water was to either absorb or refine it into a treasure that could help better understand or control his Samsara Dao.
