Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 70

In the Earth Trial, Wang Wei found himself in a jungle full of trees all around. However, the place he stood was flat and barren in a 100 meters diameter. He then started to marvel at this space.

Wang Wei knew that every disciple who entered the tower would have its own trial. As such, he guessed that the Battle Maniac Emperor must have used space law when creating the Battle Tower.

After a few breaths, Wang Wei noticed more than 50 meters from him was a giant tiger. It was more than 5 meter in height, and a length of more than 7 meters. It had luscious blue fur and tiny scales underneath.

Wang Wei recognized that this was a Tier 1 Demon called Blue Fur Scale Tiger. It was a demon with a low bloodline and known for its defense.

Wang Wei carefully observed the tiger and started to review the knowledge he had learned about Demons in the Library.

In this world, animals can gain sentience by cultivating and they are known as Demon beasts. Unlike cultivators who use the origin system, they seemed to have their own cultivation method that mainly relies on bloodline. The more powerful the bloodline, the more powerful a demon beast is.

As such, they are classified in terms of Tier, from Tier 1 to Tier 9--referring to Body Refining Realm to Supreme Realm. There is no Tier 10 as that is the realm of the Great Emperor. Who dares to call an Emperor a Tier 10 Demon beast.

The Demon race can also fight for the Heaven Mandate. Throughout their history, they have cultivated many powerful Demon Emperors.

While Wang Wei was observing the tiger, it was also observing him. His fierce eyes looked down on Wang Wei as if looking at a prey. His mouth opened, showing his long razor sharp teeth, while saliva dripped down from its mouth.

It has been in captivity for many years and has fought many weak cultivators. Once in a while, if he is lucky, he could kill some of the people he fought and eat them. He likes the flesh of cultivators the most: it is more chewy and tasty, although the portion is always small.

Wang Wei suddenly felt a terrible killing intent from the tiger. He knew that some unlucky disciples would be killed in the Earth's difficulty level before they could admit defeat and be saved by the Tower.

He was not intimated. On the contrary, his blood began to boil and he became more militant. Sometimes he wondered whether he had the fighting madman bloodline of the Li family.

Well, considering the fact that the 3 families of the sect have inter-married countless times, it is not impossible for him to have some of the bloodline of the Li family.

Removing the distracting thought from his mind, Wang Wei rushed to the tiger and punched him. More than 36,000 jin of force came out with the help of his blood qi.

The Blue Fur Scale Tiger was not going to be outdone by a puny human. He raised one of his paws and swatted Wang Wei like he was a fly. This trick usually works for these work cultivators.

Unfortunately for this tiger, things did not go as he planned, today he met his match. Wang Wei's punch hit the tiger paw, a bang sound was created when their strength collided.

None of them had any reaction or move. Their strength was evenly matched.

The tiger was surprised, while Wang Wei was excited. He finally found someone who can fight with him. As such, he did not stop.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With each punch, the air trembled lightly, the ground under his feet cracked, and his blood began to boil. This is the fight he wished for. Head on, man to man, fist to fist, until one person was left standing.

He rushed to the tiger and continued to punch it. With each attack, his muscles trembled with excitement, his heart started to race, and his adrenaline kept rushing to his head.

While Wang Wei was having fun with this battle, the Blue Fur Scale Tiger was furious. His pride was provoked as this tiny human had similar strength as him.

The tiger rushed toward Wang Wei and used his teeth to attack instead of his claws. His massive teeth took a bite directly at Wang Wei who woke from his state of excitement at the sudden attack.

His first instinct was to punch the teeth of the tiger, but when he noticed his bleeding hand, he changed his mind and rolled in the ground to the side to evade. Then, he jumped backward more than 20 meters, effectively distancing himself from the tiger.

It was at this moment that he noticed that his hands were bleeding with many deep cuts on them, his muscles were shredded and his bones were visible; it was as if a dog chewed on it like a toy. Then it dawn on Wang Wei how stupid his behavior just now was.

With his weak body, how could he go toe to toe with a demon beast like the Blue Fur Scale Tiger who is known for its defense and sharp claws.

Although blood qi provided him with strength, speed, and endurance, the defense was quite ordinary. The reason for that is the fact blood qi can only be used inside the body, but not outside. As such, blood qi cannot be put on top of the skin as a form of protection.

Only when cultivators breakthrough to the Divine Sea Realm and blood qi turn into origin qi will it have this ability.

Realizing his mistake, Wang Wei decided to change tactics. However, he was not happy. He realized that his favorite fighting style is to fight head on and punch his enemy to death.

If one punch is not enough, then two punches. if that is not enough, continue punching until the enemy is either dead or incapacitated. His desire to cultivate the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] once again increased.

Unfortunately, this scripture requires a cultivation at the Divine Altar realm--when cultivator can freely use the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth-- to cultivate.

Wang Wei immediately opened his space ring, took out a bottle and poured a few drops of Holy Spring Water on his trembling hand. In less than five seconds, they were back to normal.

He then looked at the tiger with a fierce look, signifying how bad his current mood was. He rushed towards it, jumped more than five meters and kicked it in his eyes, going for a killing blow. However, the tiger seemed to have some fighting experience and closed his eyes, effectively nulling the attack with his powerful scale.

The tiger then took advantage of Wang Wei being in the air and unable to move and attacked him with his paw.

Wang Wei's mind moved quickly and came up with a solution. He used the tiger's eyelid as a leverage to summersault back in the ground, thus evading the attack.

Without giving the tiger the time to make another move, he rushed to his side and punched again. This time he used his stacking method, thus effectively able to use more 72,000 jin of force.

However, to his horror, his most powerful attack did not have much effect. Both the fur and scale of the tiger have very powerful defense abilities. As such, his attack did not manage to injure anyone--except for his own hand.

Before Wang Wei had thought about his next tactic, he heard the sound of wind whistling on his right side. When he turned his head, he saw the tail of the tiger quickly approaching him.

He instinctively raised both his arms and gathered all of his blood qi in them to defend himself. With a bang sound, Wang Wei flew more than a hundred meter hitting countless trees in the forest before hitting the floor. There was a straight road of destroyed trees in that path that he flew.

After a few seconds, Wang Wei got up from the floor and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. Although his blood qi managed to block the majority of the force, some of it reached his internal organs.

"I was careless," muttered Wang Wei, before getting up from the floor, with dirt and dust all over his silk robe. His white teeth had turned red.

In fact, it was not totally his fault this time. He was so used to fighting humans that he forgot that demons were different. Some of them have tails and are extensions of their body, as such can be used as weapons.

Wang Wei started to check his organs with his blood qi, he then judged that his injuries were in the medium to low category.

'Wait,' thought Wang Wei, 'Organ...force...inside." Suddenly, he had an idea on how to crack this tiger's defense and passed the Earth level difficulty.

He took a deep breath to adjust his condition and looked at the tiger that was rushing towards him. He ran towards him, making it look like he was going to go toe to toe with him.

When the tiger pounced on Wang Wei with two of his front paws, he waited for the perfect timing to roll forward in the ground, placing himself right under the belly of the tiger.

Wang Wei then gathered all of his strength and punched his belly. However, this punch was different from the others.

Instead of allowing all of his 36,000 jin of force to spread it out like it usually does, Wang Wei used his blood qi to manipulate all his bones and muscle in his body to focus all the force of his punch in one point, before exploding.

This punch did not make any extraordinary sound except for the dull thumping of Wang Wei's fist hitting the scale of the demonic tiger.

Soon afterward, the tiger landed and turned around looking at Wang Wei with fear and reluctance in his eyes. After a few breaths, his mouth, nose, ears, and every pore on his body started bleeding, then he dropped on the ground, dying before even hitting the floor.

If anyone were to dissect the tiger, they would find that most of his internal organs--whether it was heart, lungs, kidney, or stomach--has turned into mush. This was a truly brutal way to die.

After passing the Earth difficulty level, Wang Wei spent another hour to heal and recuperate. Then, he spent another hour before passing the Heaven Level Difficulty. This was due to the fact that he had to fight more than five Blue Fur Scale Tigers.

Outside of the Battle Tower, Wang Wei stood there with broken clothes showing his 8 Pack abdominal muscles, and his scattered and disheveled long grey hair rested on his back. He was pondering the experience in the tower.

He was very happy that he decided to come here. His battle experience grew rapidly and he managed to consolidate his rapid cultivation rise through life and death fights.

The Blue Fur Scale Tiger was a worthy opponent. He now realized why demonic beasts were used for both the Earth and Heaven level difficulty.

Demonic beasts are inherently more powerful than humans in the early stage of cultivation with their strong body and ability to manipulate spiritual qi even in Tier 1. Of course the latter facts only apply to demons who have at least medium level bloodline.

However, despite this fact, the Myriad Emperor World is without a doubt ruled by humans. This can be proven by the fact that all the powerful Emperor Lineage of the Demon race were forced to live in the Northern Black Tortoise Continent--the continent with the least amount of spiritual qi.

To Wang Wei, the demonic race are losers. With such an overwhelming advantage, they were still overthrown by humans. This was the epitome of wasting a god given talent.

After despising the demon race, returned to his family mountain and rested. The next day, Wang Wei was in his cultivating room reading the [Origin Path Scripture] again on how to break through to the 10th-12th Layer of the Body Refining Realm. The majority of the cultivators in the world think that Bodyrefining Realm has only 9 Layers, but it is not true.

The way to breakthrough to the last 3 layers has been kept secret in the hands of powerful factions. And each faction can reach a different level of Body Refining.

For example, only Saint level cultivation methods can reach the 10th Layer of the Body Refining Realm. Supreme Tier cultivation method can reach the 11th Layer, while only Emperor Scripture can reach the 12th Layer of the Body Refining Realm.

If a faction has a Saint cultivator and a Saint level cultivation technique, then they will be referred to as Holy Land, and if it has a True Monarch with a Supreme tier method, they will be called Supreme Land. And so on.

This is where the [Origin Path Scripture] have an advantage over all other Emperor Scripture. It is the only method that allows cultivators to perfectly enter the 12th Layer of Body Refining Realm.

All other Emperor Scriptures will use other methods such as pills, formation, secret method, or force to break through the 12th layer, while the process of the [Origin Path Scripture] is smooth with a perfect foundation.

For this reason, throughout history, many Great Emperors have been interested in this scripture. Fortunately, they did not dare to mess with the Dao Opening Sect.

With the new yoga movements and mantras, Wang Wei spent another 6 months cultivating the 12th Layer Body Refining Realm. As long as he consolidates his foundation for another 6 months, he can break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

However, one day, a sudden thought came to Wang Wei's mind. 'Why are there only 12 Layers? Why not 13?'

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he could not get rid of it. As such, he decided to try. However, he failed.

Wang Wei was not surprised nor discouraged by this. This was expected. He guessed that he was not the first person in history to have such a crazy idea. However, he did not give up, instead, he tried to figure out the reason for his failure.

The Bodyrefining Realm is essentially gathering energy in your body to evolve. Each time you break through a layer, it feels like a weight or shackle has been lifted from the body.

However, Wang Wei discovered that the 12th Layer was the last "breakable" shackles in the body. If someone tries to go further, he will find an unbreakable wall in front of them.

Wang Wei was not reconciled. As such, he went to the Library and asked Great Elder Fan Lei if there was any information about it, and there was.

In one journal, Wang Wei learned that someone had the same idea as him, but also failed. However, the guy did leave some useful information.

According to the journal, certain numbers such as 9, 12, 36, 50, 72 and so on represent the extreme of Heavenly Dao. Once a person or things reach such extremes, Heaven will place limits on them.

The person believed that is one the reasons that the Dao Opening Sect could not cultivate another Emperor despite all the methods and resources used. It is also the reason that cultivators cannot reach the 13th Layer of the Body Refining Realm.
