Chapter 869 Clash Of Dao (IV)

Before his death, Di Tian became enlightened by the nature of the world. There is a Buddhist saying that there is a world with every grain of salt. Ancient Sages preached how our every action has an effect on Heaven and Earth, some of which we cannot perceive or fathom.

Before his annihilation, Di Tian saw many things. He saw a river of unfathomable scale. And even with his current power, he cannot describe its infinite size and wonder.

From that river flows countless branches, like a tree with countless roots.

'The River of Time,' thought Di Tian as he recognized the thing, especially since his current opponent used it against him.

'The countless branches should be different worlds or dimensions derived from the river's main branch. However, what does it have to do with w.a.n.g Wei's technique?"

As soon as he had these thoughts, he was shocked as he saw a second main river. According to his understanding of the world, this should have been impossible: there should only be one primary River of Time.

However, he saw a second one. No, with the pa.s.sage of time, he saw countless more Primary Rivers connected by a thin barrier between each of them. And each main river also had infinitely more branches.

"Infinite Trichiliocosm."

This name popped in Di Tian's name, followed by the other names: Parallel Dimensions, Parallel Timelines, Myriad Origin Realm, etc.

'All our actions can cause entire new timelines, entire new universes diverse from one of our many chances,' he understood. 'Does that mean there are timelines where I made the right choice? Where I succeeded in the trial, where I fulfilled my dreams of walking the path of perfection?'

All these thoughts flashed in Di Tian's mind, making him excited. A new door of infinite possibility opened up for him; he now saw more hope in reviving his wife.

Boom!

Everything went black, and he died. After reviving himself, he swiftly calmed down before looking at w.a.n.g Wei. He understood the latter's technique.

w.a.n.g Wei a.s.sessed a version of himself from a parallel universe and attacked him directly from that dimension. And since the attack originated from another time and s.p.a.ce, he could not see or detect it.

'Something is not adding up,' a.n.a.lyzed Di Tian. 'From my enlightenment, it seems that Emperors cannot travel through the Infinite Trichiliocosm, so how did he access it? Even with his mastery of Time Dao, this should not be possible.'

While a.n.a.lyzing the situation, another attack arrived. However, Di Tian knew what to look for, so he did not have to rely on his intuition or danger sense.

He sensed the very subtle s.p.a.ce-Time fluctuations and tried to react. Sadly, even such an act only bought him a few more microseconds to react.

Boom!

Di Tian flew away with superficial injuries.

'I see. He created a contained parallel universe with Time Dao and Luck Dao.'

It would be too much to bear for w.a.n.g Wei to create an entire Parallel Universe with so many Immortal Ent.i.ties in the Myriad Emperor World. So, he created a contained universe involving only the current Heaven Will Battle.

And in that universe, his parallel self differs from him by a slight margin' for example, he smiled on one occasion when he did not, or he looked left in that universe instead of right.

A universe contains infinite probability and variables. So, to create a contained universe, he had to control these variables. w.a.n.g Wei used his Probability Manipulation from his Luck Dao to maintain all the variables from the parallel universe.

Then, he had his other self attacked from that dimension.

'His comprehension suddenly increased. And that aura seemed to be Buddhist in nature,' thought w.a.n.g Wei before attacking again. And this time, it was a two-p.r.o.ng attack as his body in that dimension also attacked.

Bang!

The Earth Energy that filled this dimension became chaotic due to the sheer power behind that attack. However, w.a.n.g Wei frowned as he gazed at the Emperor Artifact in the shape of a s.h.i.+eld that blocked him.

He did not care that his attack failed. His focus was on the fact that the attack from the parallel universe also failed. And after seeing the phantom floating above Di Tian's head, he understood why.

'The Present Buddha Self,' thought w.a.n.g Wei. 'He also sacrificed to seal the present. He sealed the River of Time with the Three Buddha Selves, preventing me from attacking from the past, present, and future.'

w.a.n.g Wei calmly looked at him before making a clenching motion with his hand. The River of Time fluctuated for a moment; the Earth Dimension trembled, creating countless s.p.a.ce cracks. The power of time fluctuated from some of these cracks, indicating that people might experience different times of rapid aging if they were not careful and entered one of them.

w.a.n.g Wei's actions seemed to crack the very fabric of the s.p.a.ce-time continuum in this Earth Dimension.

Ploop!

Di Tian vomited a large mouthful of blood. w.a.n.g Wei's action was to explode his parallel universe. As a result, his Present Buddha Self had to bear the backlash from the attack and the River of Time.

'The damage was so small?' thought w.a.n.g Wei as he swiftly figured out why. Di Tian seemed very adept at dealing with chaotic s.p.a.ce-Time Energy. So, after the explosion, he even used them to heal his Present Buddha Self.

w.a.n.g Wei did not dwell on the issue for too long as he raised his hand to manifest a marble that resembled the s.h.i.+niest diamond. To the untrained eyes, this marble is nothing but an ordinary creation.

However, these powerful cultivators saw how it was created. w.a.n.g Wei folded the entire Fire Dimension into this bead. Furthermore, he seemed to disdain its short length and kept increasing its size using his s.p.a.ce Dao.

The marble flew out of w.a.n.g Wei's hand, heading directly for his opponent. Di Tian almost cursed out loud after seeing that small thing approach him. He saw how it was created and the power it contained.

The current size of the dimension inside the marble was on par with the Myriad Emperor World. Although it was only an empty dimension with no life, energy, or even any rules, the sheer weight of the marble because of the size of that dimension was enough to do terrible damage to him.

His first instinct was to evade. However, the marble had its own gravitational pull and ability to block the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

[Seventh Fist: All Things Must Reincarnate]

Nothing in the universe can resist reincarnation. The Myriad Emperor World will one day undergo reincarnation and might cease to exist. One might say that a Great Emperor has transcended life and death and does not need to worry about reincarnation.

However, that is far from the truth. Emperorseven Paragonsare Immortals but not Eternal. Death is categorized in a different way for them. Furthermore, reincarnation is not simply defined by the concept of life and death.

One of the core of reincarnation is the ups and downs of the world, the changes from high to low, and the repeated cycle. A Heaven Chosen can be extremely lucky, acquiring numerous fortunate encounters. However, they encounter a calamity that can kill them the next day.

Such an act is a manifestation of their bad luck backlash. However, it is also a process of reincarnation, going from the peak of their fortune to the lowest point. If the Heaven Chosen survives their calamity, it would mean they survive a round of reincarnation, returning their luck to a normal level.

Using this core idea of reincarnation, Di Tian's technique attacked the marble. His objective was to force the dimension inside the marbles to undergo reincarnation, dying before reaching him.

Sadly, he miscalculated. w.a.n.g Wei predicted his move and absorbed the power of Reincarnation he used. Instead, he used it to create a Nether World in the Fire dimension, making it even more complete.

'd.a.m.n it, 'cursed Di Tian, forced to directly confront the marble. He mobilized all the power of his fleshly body and blessed himself with powerful Innate Creatures from the Heaven Path.

Bang!

The shockwave from the confrontation did untold damage to their current location; it was now completely on the verge of collapsing. However, neither of them cared about such an insignificant thing.

Di Tian felt his arm was about to tear apart from the collisions. However, he remained concentrated and executed his plan. He used his attack to create a s.p.a.ce pathway inside the marble.

And after entering, it was only a matter of time before tearing it apart from the inside. Di Tian was swift and ruthless, overclocking his muscles to destroy the dimension as soon as possible.

So, even with w.a.n.g Wei's ability, he could not repair the damage as fast as Di Tian could inflict. So, he did what he usually doesexplode it. Unfortunately for him, Di Tian predicted this would be his next move.

So, he took preventive measures and was relatively intact after the explosion.

w.a.n.g Wei calmly looked at him. Then, a scary smile crept on his handsome face, making Di Tian's heart skip a beat.
