Chapter 1161 Brutal Fight

1161 Brutal Fight

'What's the best way to win this fight?' w.a.n.g Wei thought. 'The most obvious answer is to divide and conquer, but such a tactic is too obvious, and Old Man Nether is not stupid enough to fall for it.' He realized he had underestimated the ruler of the Nether h.e.l.l before and wouldn't make that mistake twice.

'Divide and conquer can still be used at the right time, but not as the first or primary tactic. In that case, the best course of action is nonstop movement. I cannot fight these people head-on or allow them to corner me - especially since the probability that they've practiced formation and teamwork is more than 90%.'

w.a.n.g Wei's Proving Dao Artifact morphed into a dark-silver dragon armor that covered everything, including his head. He knew he would need all the defense necessary, but there was a problem:

'My artifact is still Emperor Tier, meaning it's useless in a battle of such scale.' As soon as this thought came to mind, a solution soon followed. An Illusory Pill appeared on w.a.n.g Wei's palm - the one he previously used to get Empyrean strength.

"Stop him!" yelled one of the creations, who seemed to have noticed what he was about to do. w.a.n.g Wei flew upward with unparalleled speed, evading all the attacks coming toward him. He used the skill Rainbow Paragon thought that involved combining and stacking all his speed abilities and techniques, including using time, s.p.a.ce, fate, Yin-Yang, and the freedom from many concepts to increase speed.

Simultaneously, w.a.n.g Wei used his technique [Purpose Manipulation] to change the essence or nature of the Empyrean Ascension Pill into a pill with the same effect but created specifically for artifacts or weapons. Then, the aura of his armor suddenly increased until it matched most of the enemy's weapons.

'Now, let's begin the hunt,' w.a.n.g Wei thought as he entered a state of extreme focus, pus.h.i.+ng his senses beyond the limit. His 365 [Future Buddha Selves] and his spirit particles began to work on overdrive as they seeped through the future to look at countless possibilities, allowing him to choose the best way to kill his opponent.

w.a.n.g Wei stopped running or evading, switching to an offensive stand. He appeared before a lifeform with a human body but an elephant skeleton for a head. Sadly for that creature, the last thing it saw was a streak of dark-red lightning from w.a.n.g Wei's True Will. Then, his head exploded along with its soul.

Five golden chains arrived in w.a.n.g Wei's position, but he was already gone. In less than a nanosecond these guys took to respond, he had already traveled a few billion light years away to another group before releasing a tornado of Chaos Flame, burning more than five of these creatures to dust.

He moved on to his next target and used a Death Domain Technique to kill close to ten enemies. The casualty should have been six, but the last one was ruthless and exploded himself at the last minute before the embrace of death swallowed him. The explosion barely left any cracks in w.a.n.g Wei's armor, but it still did its primary objective: the force behind a creature of this level exploding itself was enough to reduce w.a.n.g Wei's speed by a small margin. Then, the rest took this small attosecond as an opportunity to create a powerful sealing array that targeted his speed.

w.a.n.g Wei immediately activated the [Freedom From Sealing Technique], but that barely alleviated the problem. Someone suddenly appeared behind him to punch him. However, before his body was pushed forward, he countered with an elbow, destroying the opponent's upper body and soul.

A small group was already standing before w.a.n.g Wei's flying path with a powerful thunder spear created from their combined powers. He knew how much he would suffer if he could not evade this attack, so he waited for the perfect opportunity.

When the lightning spear reached so close to him that he could no longer evade it, he used Spatial Displacement to change location with that group. Potent lightning traveled in the surroundings due to the explosion, killing nine of this group of ten. w.a.n.g Wei then transferred a terrifying attack to the remaining survivor through the karmic link they established after the latter tried to kill him.

w.a.n.g Wei kept moving. Despite his drastic speed decrease, he was still amongst the fastest in this group; these people only leveled the playing field. He turned into a Yin-Yang Disk, slas.h.i.+ng more than five opponents into two before stopping since he predicted someone countering his technique.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Wei sensed a terrifying attack that bypa.s.sed his armor, even leaving cracks on his [Invisible Will Armor]. He immediately realized the opponent had used a Karma Formation to attack him, so he used the karmic thread they used to appear at the center of their formation before using his Soul Dao to collapse their Sea of Consciousness. These creature's lifeless bodies floated in the void while oddly being perfectly fine without any injuries.

w.a.n.g Wei's body suddenly moved instinctively to cross his arm. A humanoid ox creature suddenly appeared and punched him, forcing him to take a dozen steps into the void.

'A true Empyrean,' he thought as he did not stop his rapid nonstop movement. Creation Liforms are considered [Insurgent] no matter their tier. If an Empyrean wishes to create a creature that walked the Emperor Path, the tribulation will be even more severe.

Some choose to create lifeforms with 69% or less to have them cultivated normally to the Empyrean Realm. However, this plan is futile as the tribulation is still terrifying - albeit weaker than if the created lifeform appeared with 70% Grand Dao Source.

'I can believe he cultivated a true Empyrean Creation Lifeform. Forget the skill required for such a thing, I figured someone with his personality would not want a subordinate close to him in strength or essence of life.'

He continued to play hide and seek with this Oxman or the other creatures when he sensed something. Old Man Nether had used a potent technique called [Yama King Finger]. A colossal bony finger materialized above the Heaven, rapidly descending toward w.a.n.g Wei. His body paused to look at this devastating attack.

'My chance,' thought the Oxman, rus.h.i.+ng forward to deal a devastating blow to ensure his master's attack did the job. However, as soon as he reached close to w.a.n.g Wei, a scary Spiritual Sword rushed into his Sea of Consciousness with unparalleled speed.

The Oxman tried to defend himself, but it was futile. w.a.n.g Wei knew that he and Old Man Nether were the greatest threat to this battle, so he gathered a significant portion of his soul power to ensure this man died from that attack.

"d.a.m.n you," Old Man Nether roared as he watched his servant's body disappear, creating a dark aura or shadows emanating from the bone finger. The finger hit w.a.n.g Wei, who punched it with tremendous force. However, he was quickly overwhelmed by its terrifying force.

"d.a.m.n you, Old Man Nether: this is far from being over," w.a.n.g Wei yelled before vanis.h.i.+ng from the battlefield. Old Man Nether frowned, feeling things were easier than expected.

Boom!

A vision covered the Void Battlefield, showing images of a meteor. A somber atmosphere enveloped the battlefield as Heaven and Earth celebrated the pa.s.sing of such an honorable and respected cultivator.

Old Man Nether calmly watched this, still feeling that something was wrong. He changed his mind in the last attack, deciding to kill w.a.n.g Wei instead of capturing him. Although he felt it was a pity, he also understood this was the best choice after seeing how swiftly he disposed of the Ox General, his most powerful creation. If he continued with the mindset of capturing the enemy, he would lose more than half of his troops before succeeding.

"Four-Eyes, come."

A handsome young man dressed in black teleported next to Old Man Nether. Then, two more eyes appeared on his forehead before turning golden. He swiftly scanned the surroundings: "There."

He shot a golden light that actually dispersed w.a.n.g Wei's shadow technique, revealing his presence.

"Only 52? That's a shame," w.a.n.g Wei muttered. He could not help it since he needed to be extra careful not to be detected in this a.s.sa.s.sin mode. Before anyone could react, more than 52 creations had dark purple marks on their bodies before a flame of the same color swallowed them.

The [Curse of Destructing Flame] was one of w.a.n.g Wei's works combining his knowledge of Curse Dao with Destruction Dao. As such, these people could not be saved as soon as they were marked since either the curse, destruction, or flame Dao would get them.

"f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I'll kill you, your family, your sect, and everyone you love." Old Man Nether's eyes were red, and his aura was unstable due to his anger. However, w.a.n.g Wei remained calm as he slowly raised his hand: [Yama King Palm].

A dark palm rushed toward his opponent with the desire to kill and humiliate him by showing him the true power of Samsara Dao.
