Chapter 878 The Answer

878 The Answer

[Yama King's Armor]

YamaThe G.o.d of Deathis one of the highest positions of the underworld, ensuring that everything proceeds smoothly. And as ruler of the afterlife, Yama is truly the master of death.

His aura increased slightly as the armor appeared on Di Tian's body. However, the most significant change was a sword in his hand that contained the terrifying power of death.

[Chains of Death]

Numerous chains materialized from the void, heading directly toward w.a.n.g Wei. They covered the sky with sheer numbers and had one objectivecapture him.

'Even fate cannot restrain me, let alone death,' said w.a.n.g Wei with a sneer.

[Roar of Fate]

All sentient beings in the Chaos Universe have a string of fates that manifest in the River of Fate. Maybe some people have escaped from this shackle. Perhaps that is an inevitable outcome.

With this roar, w.a.n.g Wei turned these strings a manifestation of their entire life, of their struggle, pain, rise, and successinto sound. To be exact, he condensed their lives into a raging sound of anger, unwillingness, and defiance.

Bang!

The terrifying sound broke these chains of death without much resistance. Then, the soundwave pushed Di Tian a few steps backward, even leaving a small scratch on his new armor.

'The power of fate. Even while being suppressed, it has such power,' he thought, his eyes colder than usual. His determination to kill his

opponent reached another layer.

He glanced at his opponent before attacking.

[Yama's Judgment]

He flicked his wrists, and the Death Sword in his hand flew into the Heavens, turning into a colossal size, larger than a star. However, this was not the end.

A book as large as the sword with the characters [Life and Death] manifested along with a pen. Then, the pen wrote w.a.n.g Wei's name on the book before releasing a power that boosted the sword's power.

Then, the sword descended on its target.

[Deception of Fate]

The Power of Fate enveloped w.a.n.g Wei's body. Then, in an instant, he deceived Fate itself. He confused the Book of Life and Death, convincing it that although his name was also w.a.n.g Wei, he was not the one it was targeting.

Crack!

Cracks appeared along w.a.n.g Wei's body, and blood dripped from his orifices.

'd.a.m.n it,' he cursed internally. His technique should have worked, but because of the suppression of his Dao, it failed at the last minute, allowing the Death Sword to target him. Luckily, he deceived most of the power.

Di Tian was aggressive and did not give him time to rest, heal, or strategize. He waved his hand, and the pen made a mark on the book next to w.a.n.g Wei's name.

In an instant, w.a.n.g Wei's status between Heaven and Earth, his status in Samsara, changed to that of a sinner of the highest caliber. Previously, w.a.n.g Wei removed all his Karmic Sins and prevented more from happening with his Karma Unbound Physique,

Furthermore, his accomplishment in the area controlled by the Dao Opening Sect provided him with countless merits to walk the path [Sagehood]. However, with this one move, Di Tian temporarily changed all these accomplishments, turning him into someone who has created an unfathomable amount of sins during his life.

With such sins, the judgment and execution against him became of the highest order.

So, when the Death Sword descended a second time, he knew he could not resist without normal means.

[Bloodline Fate]

Myriad figures appeared behind w.a.n.g Wei. Upon closer observation, the one closest to him seemed to be his father, w.a.n.g Tian, followed by his grandfather, w.a.n.g Chang.

At the end of this long line of people was the founder of the Dao Opening Sect and the ancestor of the w.a.n.g ClanQiyuan. Although the latter had no children throughout his life, he became the Bloodline Ancestor of the w.a.n.g Clan once he cut off the connection to the Heaven Opening Emperor.

w.a.n.g Wei looked at all these people before secretly shaking his head. He would wish to choose some of his ancestors. But for this technique, he needs a.s.sistance and no interference or resistance, so he could only choose his father.

After choosing w.a.n.g Tian, an illusory figure manifested next to him. However, this was just the beginning. He used Luck Dao to control probability and Time Dao to create numerous possible futures.

Then, one of these futures fused with w.a.n.g Wei's physical manifestation of Fate.

Boom!

A terrifying aura emanated from his body. The aura shocked Di Tian and everyone watching because it was the same as these two legendsthe aura of a Great Emperor.

w.a.n.g Wei's method was to summon his father's fate and use other means to create a possible future where the latter succeeded in achieving the Ten Supremacy Foundation.

Now, such a technique would not be possible if not for the fact w.a.n.g Tian's talent had the possibility of reaching such a realm. Regardless, what's important is he chose the correct ancestor and succeeded.

w.a.n.g Wei then changed his Everchanging Dao Heart, turning into a supreme swordsman who dedicated his entire life to the Dao of Sword, even to the detriment of his family and loved ones.

w.a.n.g Tian's fate then fused with w.a.n.g Wei's body, superimposing his power into his son's. His Proving Dao Artifact turned into a pure white sword, releasing a terrifying Sword Will.

With a calm demeanor, w.a.n.g Wei swung his sword, releasing a slash more brilliant than a trillion galaxies. The slash overwhelmed the Death Sword, cutting it into two before proceeding to the book and pen.

Unfortunately, they released a barrier that blocked its power.

'Even my father's Sword Dao is suppressed,' a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei. This slash was enough to cut even Samsara into countless pieces if not for this suppression.

'Resisting? The more you resist, the faster you die,' thought Di Tian. His technique is based on the Yama King, one of the highest rulers of Samsara. Yamas are ent.i.ties that deal with the reincarnation of people as powerful and influential as Paragons.

If they do not have the strength to deal with some of these unruly Paragons who are used to rule above myriad races and worlds, the Path of Reincarnation would have long turned into their playthings.

Bang!

A magnificent stone bridge appeared between Heaven and Earth.

[The Bridge of Remembrance]

As soon as the bridge appeared, people instinctively knew its name

that's how ancient and n.o.ble it was. After someone dies, they have to walk through this bridge.

Their lives will be flashed before them, allowing them to contemplate their past failures, successes, and regrets. Of course, the bridge will also record this person's life to allow the Path of Reincarnation to determine their Karma, whether they will be sent to h.e.l.l for punishment or get reincarnated.

Furthermore, the true purpose of this bridge is to weaken the truly powerful souls and prevent them from making trouble after their judgment.

The bridge released a terrifying aura that immediately suppressed his bodyespecially his soul. w.a.n.g Wei was almost removed from his current state of fusing with his father's fate.

Then, to his horror, the previously destroyed Death Sword materialized for a second time. Then, with the book, pen, sword, and bridge working together, he disappeared from Heaven and Earth.

This should have been the end, but Di Tian frowned instead. As someone in control of the true Book of Life and Death, he knew whether his opponent was dead.

'Even this technique could not grant him True Death?'

True Death should have removed all possible revival methods and abilities.

'I should not underestimate him.'

Di Tian entered a state similar to w.a.n.g Weia calm fury. So, no matter how angry he was at the previous event, he would not let emotions cloud his judgment.

He moved his head to found the newly revived w.a.n.g Wei. To his surprise, he saw the latter rus.h.i.+ng toward him, seemingly using a secret technique with terrible side effects.

Di Tian did not waste time as he struck again, using the same attack. However, he summoned his Samsara PaG.o.da to increase the potency of the attack; he wanted his opponent to die at all costs.

However, w.a.n.g Wei's body had turned all red, with a brilliant flame covering him. No matter what attack or technique hit him, he was perfectly intact. The only signs he was not alright was his rapid pa.s.sing vitality.

He used Turtle Sh.e.l.l's secret technique that burned his body, soul, energy, Daos, and other things to drastically increase defensive capabilities. He pushed the technique to the limit, even sacrificing his life to reach his opponent.

Di Tian felt something was wrong, so he chose the wisest tactic

escape until the opponent's secret technique ran out and he died. He took another page in w.a.n.g Wei's book and summoned layers of Samsara that he called Reincarnation World.

There are many branches of Samsara, similar to how the River of Time and Fate have countless tributaries that flow to every world. So, Di Tian only had to use some of them.

Alas, w.a.n.g Wei predicted his move and suddenly changed his technique. He used the Rainbow Paragon's technique, based on Turtle Sh.e.l.l's technique, to increase speed instead of defense.

In an instant, his speed reached hundreds of thousands of times infinity. He bypa.s.sed all these Reincarnation Worlds and reached Di Tian.

[Innate Talent: Fate Shackles]

w.a.n.g Wei placed a shackle on Di Tian, making it so that whatever power he used to increase his strength was not his own or had a time limit. However, his plan failed as he received a terrifying backlash instead.

"So, that's how it is," he muttered before dying from the backlash. Although this was the last life from his Life and Death Wheel, he was alright with it because he used it appropriately.
