Chapter 866 Clash Of Dao (I)

Di Tian was briefly distracted. He had spent so many years thinking about that day, wondering whether there was a solution to his situation. And he often concluded that there was not, but now, he knew he was wrong.

With w.a.n.g Wei's method, his wife would have been accepted by Heavenly Dao, True Heavenly Dao, and Grand Dao, thus having no problem walking on the path of perfection.

And without touching the taboo, his pa.s.s would have continuedat least, until he ascended to the upper dimension. He could have pa.s.sed the trial and proven the Dao.

With his Creation Dao, he could have created countless geniuses, resources, and rare artifacts for the human race, preventing the war from reaching the point that most of history and civilization was lost.

If he had succeeded, he could have saved his children who died, watched the others grow up, and, more importantly, had more of them.

In a moment, Di Tian experienced another life, a life where everything went better for him. For a brief moment, he wished he could live forever under this illusion he created.

But he knew this was not possible. So, he could only sigh and forcibly control his mind. However, no one noticed the slight tear in the corner of his eyesnot even w.a.n.g Wei.

After he told Di Tian his method, he sensed something had changed. So, he looked around without finding anything. As such, he mobilized his Power of Fate to find the answer he wanted.

He soon discovered that Heavenly Dao had changed because of his words. The latter recorded how he would pa.s.s the trial and prepare countermeasures in case someone like Di Tian is in the future.

So, if some fool tried to use this method to pursue the Path of Perfection, they might suffer terribly,

w.a.n.g Wei secretly sneered. Although he was in a good relations.h.i.+p with Heavenly Dao because of his status as an Era Son, he still disdained the thing for scheming against him for most of his cultivation journey.

His pettiness when it comes to Heavenly Dao reached an unimaginable level. However, this was not the main reason he so easily and publicly revealed such information.

He knew what kind of thing Heavenly Dao wascold and calculating. Although he was the Era Son, if he lost the battle, it would not hesitate to abandon him and negotiate with Di Tian to become the new leader of the upcoming era.

Normally, Di Tian would not care about such a thing. But Heavenly Dao still has his wife's imprint. With his strength after proving the Dao, he could forcefully take it, but there is still the chance something might happen to the imprint/ As such, he would not mind taking less risks when acquiring it.

Furthermore, after their last conversation, Di Tian's desire to acquire a ma.s.sive amount of merit is probably one of his first priorities. After all, this method was one of the few viable ways he could revive his wife.

Now, w.a.n.g Wei gave him a simple and more direct waytake Heavenly Dao's Essence, and his wife can retain her Mortal Perfection. And if he takes enough, he can probably continue walking the Immortal Perfection Path.

With Di Tian's mindset and cruelty, why would he take the long and arduous path of leading the new era when he could take Heavenly Dao's essence?

'Knowing this, I have removed Heavenly Dao's ability to abandon me as the Era Son and chose him,' thought w.a.n.g Wei. 'With that tile, although it cannot affect my chances of winning this battle, it can increase the chances of me surviving.'

And as long as he survives, w.a.n.g Wei has many ways to try to prove the Dao.

As for the consequences of Di Tian forcefully taking Heavenly Dao's Essence? He already had a few plans on how to make up for it. Furthermore, such an act would not be as easy as stated.

So, while DI Tian focused on doing that, the latter won't have time to pay attention to w.a.n.g Wei while he tried alternative methods of proving the Dao. Afterward, he might even receive merit for stopping Di Tian and saving the world.

w.a.n.g Wei exhaled slightly, looking at Di Tian. His eyes were calm, not showing the slightest hint he had just schemed against the latter and taken away a great opportunity for him.

The latter had also calmed down from his existential crisis, looking at his opponent with a calm mindset. They released their aura, clas.h.i.+ng together to build momentum. The entire cosmic battlefield trembled under the pressure, but none of them cared.

At this point in this battle, they knew it was time to go all out, using their body, soul, and Dao with each attack. From now on, they had one objectiveto use everything in their a.r.s.enal to destroy their opponent.

They stared intently at each other for a few seconds before Di Tian was the first to attack:

[Nine Samsara Fist: Third Fist: Interchangeable of Life and Death]

With this one punch, everywhere where the concept of life began to forcefully change into the concept of death; so, it concludes the few matter and energy scattered in the battlefield, the very s.p.a.ce-time of this battlefield, and w.a.n.g Wei himself.

With this one attack, everything in Di Tian's path began to walk toward death.

However, he soon squinted his eyes as he saw his opponent's attackw.a.n.g Wei was using the same attack, only the reverse. So, while he transitioned everything from [life] to [death], w.a.n.g Wei changed things from [death] to [life].

The ironic part is his opponent's transition was faster than his, thus rapidly nullifying his attack.

'd.a.m.n this b.a.s.t.a.r.d,' thought Di Tian, his eyes twitching slightly. However, he soon calmed down and returned to his peak level of concentration. Since his time, one of the tactics taught by Heaven Chosen to mess up with their opponent's mind was to copy their attacks and use them even better than them.

It's a way to demoralize the opponent and destroy their mindset.

After calming down and learning of the opponent's tactic, Di Tian could better a.s.sess the situation.

[First Fist: Last Breath]

He used the first fist in his scripture, a concentrated attack that focused on destroying all matter or atoms in his opponent's body. His application of Death Dao for this fist even touched the domain of Destruction Dao.

As expected, w.a.n.g Wei used his Life and Death Dao to replicate that punch and easily countered it, making Di Tian squint his eyes as he figured out something.

Without wasting time, Di Tian countered:

[Fifth Fist: Soul Transformation]

With this technique, w.a.n.g Wei felt the power of Samsara working on his soul, forcefully transforming his ident.i.ty from human to animal because of his low karma.

And if that technique succeeded, his soul would drastically be weakened in the process and become incompatible with his body. He would then lose his mighty fleshly body and control of his laws because of the new and weak soul.

Afterward, it would be extremely easy for Di Tian to butcher him.

So, he easily stopped the process with his Samsara Law while also using the same technique on Di Tian, who also calmly dealt with it.

'I thought he only recreated the techniques I revealed during our battle. But now, I guess he found a way to learn my entire scripture and recreated them.'

For a moment, he thought there was a traitor in his Sleepers who revealed the information about his scripture. However, he soon gave up this idea since there were many other ways to acquire the information.

'Let's see how much information he has,' thought Di Tian before proceeding to use the same sixth fist of his Samsara Scripture. However, he used the new and improved version after acquiring the Ten Supremacy Foundation.

[Soul Summoning]

Immediately, w.a.n.g Wei found himself in some danger. This attack once again bypa.s.sed the defense of his Sea of Consciousness and directly affected his soul.

He saw six doors open inside his Sea of Consciousness, and each door was labeled with the words Ghost, Asura, Animal, Human, Heaven, and h.e.l.l.

w.a.n.g Wei recognized these paths as the common ways used by Reincarnation to determine how a person reincarnated.

The Ghost Path is for Ghosts or Spiritual Lifeforms. Cultivators who died while in their Primordial Spirit for a certain amount of time will enter this path after reincarnating.

The Asura Path is for people with too many grievances and hatred during their death, for creatures born with the ability to absorb negative karma, or creatures born with a negative concept as their core, like the Asura Race, which was born for Slaughter.

The Animal Path is for animals, and the normal demon race, the Human Path is for normal humans and humanoid creatures, and the Heaven Path is for people who live a good life without sins, powerful cultivators with no negative karma, and Innate Lifeforms.

Finally, h.e.l.l is the path where people with terrible karma go after they die. The h.e.l.l Path is not referring to the place where souls are tortured for their sins. No, that's a different thing.

After suffering in h.e.l.l, these sinful souls will reincarnate in the h.e.l.l Path, where they would be born with terrible luck, making their life extremely difficulteven if they began cultivation.
