Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

'Life Stealing Technique?' Paragon Jimin thought before realizing the latter was talking about his [Existence Stealing Spell]. Jimin hesitated after hearing this request. His technique was not unique since he knew there were different ways to achieve the same effect. However, he has gotten away with it for so many years due to his Dao.

Thievery is a minor Dao, meaning most people do not expect much from it, given its unpopularity or unknownness. Because of this unfamiliarity, people haven't figured out his technique. If more people started using this technique, its effects would be reduced.

'I agree with your request, but only you can use it,' Paragon Jimin decided.

'That's not possible,' Wang Wei replied. He needed to use it for his Fate Guards. Although he would fuse it with his own technique, he did not want any restrictions on its utilization. 'I understand your reservation, but after today, many people will know about your Dao; they will be precautious, so if you don't update that technique, most of your other identities will be discovered.'

Jimin was quiet. He knew Wang Wei was correct. He sighed. 'Fine. What else?'

'Secondly, I need you to sacrifice yourself to curse one of these people,' Wang Wei stated.

'I thought you came to rescue me,' Paragon Jimin sneered.

'I do, but how I do it is up to me.'

'And how is this saving me?'

'Let's not play useless mind games,' Wang Wei continued. 'With a clever person like you, I'm sure you anticipated, to some extent, how dangerous becoming a Paragon in the current political climate would be. So, I'm willing to bet all my wealth that one of your [True Avatars] has a peak Empyrean Cultivation Realm. So, even if you die, that Avatar would not take long to return to the Paragon Realm.'

Paragon Jimin was briefly quiet. His mind remembered the first time he had met that young man. He knew the latter was extraordinary, and he even predicted the latter might be the [Chosen One] that would end this era.

Paragon Jimin sighed. 'You're right. However, if being rescued required me to abandon this body, what's the point of you helping me? I can just do it myself.'

'Try it.'

'Excuse me?'

'I say try to end your life to see if you can,' Wang Wei reiterated. Jimin's heart skipped a beat as if he thought of something. He observed his opponent briefly before a look of determination flashed in his eyes. His fighting became more reckless while his soul was brewing to explode itself.

"Have you become impatient, or did you realize something?" Time Eater suddenly said. He waved his hand, and Jimin's preparation to blow himself was dismissed. "Well, it doesn't matter either way." The group continued besieging him while Time Eater continued to trace the latter's Time Mark. The process should have ended by now, but Jimin's destiny was working extra hard to keep him alive.

'Do you see now?' Wang Wei said.

'Fine, I agree with your terms,' Jimin said. Although he tried to remain calm, Wang Wei could sense the anger in his tone. It was understandable. Jimin had just reached the pinnacle of his life, and he suffered such humiliation immediately afterward.

'Excellent,' he uttered. 'You only need to sign this contract, and I'll hold these people long enough to buy you time to cast the curse.'

Jimin looked at the binding contract in his Sea of Consciousness, and his lips twitched. With this contract, he couldn't go back on his words or use Wang Wei as bait to escape. There is no honor among thieves, so why would he easily keep his word? Unfortunately, Wang Wei never trusted him — especially after knowing what his Dao was.

Paragon Jimin swiftly read every corner of the contract and frowned; 'What is this clause about erasing my memory? Are you trying to take advantage of my situation?'

'Calm down,' Wang Wei replied. 'I need you to use a specific Curse Technique on the target, and I don't want this technique to flow out. The clause is just a precaution.'

'Can't you change it to me never distributing your technique?'

'No,' Wang Wei was adamant. Paragon Jimin pondered briefly. 'What if I refuse to sign this?'

'Oh?'

'My intuition tells me you want me alive for some reason, probably the lock that appeared in the sky. Am I right?'

'Great intuition,' Wang Wei admitted but said nothing else.

'So?' 'Believe in that intuition and see if you can walk out of this place alive,' Wang Wei said calmly. His words sent a chill down Jimin's spine. He realized he was indeed valuable but not that important. He begrudgingly signed before signing the contract begrudgingly: 'Who is the target?'

'It's…' Wang Wei answered as he sent him the Curse Technique. It was highly complex, but Wang Wei included his memories and utilization of the technique. So, with Jimin's Paragon-level soul, it did not take him long to master it.

'Damn it, what is the origin of this technique?' he thought, feeling slightly scared. This curse was terrible. Luckily, he was not on the receiving end of such an attack. Jimin took a moment to cast this thing secretly. He ignored the increasing injuries in his body or the sense of foreboding that his destiny warned him of.

'I'm ready.'

'Good,' Wang Wei said. He's been preparing since his projections arrived. He then released a terrifying Soul Storm that ravaged anyone in its path. During his retreat, Wang Wei's most remarkable improvement was his understanding of Soul Dao and its application in battle.

The parasites' faces changed. Wang Wei's soul attack was genuinely terrifying. A potent and devastating force capable of finding the weakness in the Sea of Consciousness rushed directly toward their souls. It was so fast that they barely reacted. Unfortunately, fate was on their side.

Although this technique had reached the pinnacle of soul applications and was a sneak attack, these people were lucky to be in the Lawless Zone. The terrifying power was forcefully reduced to the level of Empyreans, and with the passive activation of their top Soul Defensive Treasure, they survived with minor injuries.

Wang Wei's eyes ignored these people and focused on Time Eater. 'Not a single reaction, and it seems he has noticed Jimin's actions.' He did not hesitate as he showed up, immediately attacking with another soul attack.

Bang!

Time Eater blocked the attack and looked at Wang Wei. He sighed: "I guess I should have known Shu Ren was insufficient to prevent you from interfering."

"A peak Paragon Soul," Wang Wei said instead of addressing the latter's words. "With such a powerful soul, there is no way for your cultivation not to reach the peak after so many years. So, why are you stuck at 98% Grand Dao Source? What are you planning, Time Eater?"

Time Eater squinted: "In the cultivation world, noisy people rarely lived long."

"We are all noisy people. After all, at our level, one piece of information is enough to determine our fate. The only difference is knowing whose business you cannot afford to get involved with," Wang Wei responded calmly. "In my eyes, you haven't reached that level."

"As the sages said, ignorance is bliss," Time Eater sneered. "You…" He sensed something and looked at Jimin. He immediately attacked by releasing a temporal storm capable of eradicating anything in its path. However, Wang Wei blocked him.

'His understanding and application of Time Dao are leagues above me,' Wang Wei analyzed. He could not have dealt with this attack so casually if not for the Lawless Zone's suppression. However, given the vast difference in their cultivation, it made sense.

"Arghh!" A terrifying scream echoed throughout the Lawless Zone. It was first humans but soon turned into the cry of a Phoenix. Wang Wei smirked as he looked at the dark tattoos on Five Feather's face. This curse is truly nasty, and Wang Wei did not even create it. Instead, the Curse Demon created something by studying the innate curse in his blood. After seeing it, Wang Wei even suspects the Curse Demon's bloodline curse might have some relationship with Transcendence, so he raises the latter's value.

Wang Wei calmly watched Paragon Jimin's disappearance, so he sent a message to someone:

'Old Man Dai, hurry up and hide. These people will take their frustrations on you once they've calmed down.'

Old Man Dai woke up from the shock and acted swiftly. He did not immediately run away, as that could have drawn attention to him. Instead, he left a projection while his main body secretly left.

"Well, my work here is done, so it's time to leave," Wang Wei boldly declared.

"You bastard!" Five Feathers roared. "This must be your work." She summoned a phoenix with so much heat that the surrounding space-time trembled. However, Wang Wei had already dispersed, but his voice still echoed in the sky:

"No need to get excited," he sneered. "I have plenty of time to play with all of you. I promise that once I'm done, none of you will have a good ending." He cackled maniacally before saying his last words: "I wonder who will suffer next. I can't wait."
