Novel Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 258

Wang Wei spent the next few days accompanying Li Jun, and on the third day after his arrival, Li Jun’s eyes finally opened. He first looked around with a little confusion in his eyes, which was then quickly replaced by clarity as he muttered to himself:

The ultimate form of Slaughter encompasses the pain scream despair and grief of losing everything. It’s having the ability to send all your opponent and enemies into a state of emptiness a state of desolateness a state of darkness…called death.

After saying these words Li Jun’s eyes turned dark red for a moment before returning to normal. He finally turned his head around:

Ling’er is that you?

Yes it’s me replied Yan Liling with tears falling down her eyes but she quickly wiped them off. Following this Li Jun looked at Wang Wei before saying:

Big brother I’m sorry I could not get the token for you.

You do not need to blame yourself. After all this is not your fault replied Wang Wei.

Li Jun’s eyebrows raised a little after hearing this then he asked: Does it have to do with the reason that my origin essence was rapidly decreasing?

Yes. The Academy cheated. They used a secret formation to absorb your origin essence giving Fang Lijuan the advantage.

Is that so? replied Li Jun. However these words did not comfort him. He knew perfectly well that even without the Academy’s interferences his chances of winning against her were very slim.

Meanwhile after guessing Li Jun’s current mood Wang Wei patted his shoulder as he said: You should be aware that one failure does not mean anything so cheer up. Additionally didn’t you gain something from this experience? How about we test your newfound ability?

Li Jun’s eyes lit up after hearing this then he took a pill from Yan Liling’s hand and swallowed. A few minutes later he was back on his feet.

Standing in front of him was a very large demonic beast that looked like a rhino. Without hesitation Li Jun took out his spear and a red light appeared on the tip of it: this red light was in fact Slaughter Qi.

Under Li Jun’s control the red light suddenly turned into a dark grey color. With a wave of his spear the grey color light rushed into the body of this demonic beast.

Immediately the Stampede Rhino turned paler than a piece of paper before falling to the ground. The three of them came to check on it.

It’s dead said Yan Liling blankly.

To be precise his vitality was completely destroyed by my Death Qi added Li Jun.

So your new power involves turning Slaughter Qi into Death Qi? asked Wang Wei with a pensive look on his face.

That’s correct.

Can you directly make the Death Qi?

No it has to be transformed from Slaughter Qi. However both my Battle Maniac Physique and the Heaven Fighting Scripture allow me to create Slaughter Qi thus essentially granting me endless Death Qi.

However I understand your concern big brother. During the battle the slight gap in time when I conduct the transformation is enough for truly powerful opponents to take advantage of the situation so I will watch out.

As long as you know nodded Wang Wei. Now let’s test this ability on me.

Li Jun did not say anything put directly pierced his spear on Wang Wei’s arm. Ping! The sound of two metals clashing could be heard and Li Jun’s attack did not even break his skin. As for the Death Qi it was stopped by his Innate Field that protected him.

After closer observation Wang Wei noticed that the Death Qi was slowly eroding his field. If the quantity is large enough and enough time has passed he could tell that his shield would not last long.

After nodding he disabled the shield before motioning for Li Jun to attack again. With a helpless look Li Jun took out a Saint Tier Artifact before stabbing his big brother again.

This time Wang Wei’s skin was pierced and the Death Qi entered his body. However without him doing anything powerful energy came from his blood to resist the power of the Death Qi. Although Wang Wei has not begun to temper his blood yet it was still very powerful due to all the transformation his body went through after tempering the other parts.

Meanwhile Li Jun–who was using his Divine Sense–to observe the reaction of the Death Qi inside Wang Wei’s body muttered out loud: It seemed that for powerful Body Refiner like big brother Wang Wei it’s best to use prolong battle as a tactic; slowly wear them out.

After that Wang Wei and Yan Liling spent a few hours helping Li Jun test his new ability and its limit. Finally as the group rested Wang Wei told Li Jun:

I have some good news for you. Well it might also be considered bad news while looking at Yan Liling while saying the latter half of this sentence. She snorted unhappily obviously knowing what he was going to say.

What’s going on? asked Li Jun.

Before giving him the news Wang Wei first explained what happened in the few days that he was in a coma.

What does this have to do with me?

Well before deciding to help us completely the Matriarch of the Fox Demon Clan wanted to for a more united alliance with our sect. To be precise they wanted to form a marriage alliance.

Li Jun immediately guessed where this was going and his instinct was warning him that things will be bad for him from now on.

As you can imagine continued Wang Wei while ignoring the sweating Li Jun in front of him. Since I already find the love of my life and I have no plan or desire to add another one to the list the sect chose you for this alliance.

Li Jun’s mouth twitched after hearing this as he felt the fury of Yan Liling sitting next to him. More importantly she was holding his hand tightly then a powerful heat came out of nowhere wanting to burn him to ash.

Ignoring the pain his left hand was currently in he asked: Can I refuse? While squeezing a forced smile.

Unfortunately no. Your father and mother have already set everything in motion.

Li Jun then took a deep breath Whom am I marrying this time?

It’s Su Ai.

The Young Matriarch of the Fox Demon Clan that we met in the Qi Luck Trial?

That’s her.

Well at least she’s beautiful.

Then Li Jun’s hand was instantly burned. Ignoring the shenanigans of these two Wang Wei stood up and said: Well I will live you two lovebirds to yourself. Then he left the room as if something was chasing him.

Don’t you have something to say? asked Yan Liling with gritted teeth.

Ling’er you know that this kind of thing is out of our control.

Yan Liling became silent after hearing this as she knew that he was right. When the sect made the decision they did not even consult her just notified her of the result. Only her aunt Great Elder Yan Mei took time to talk to her and made sure that she was okay.

This does not mean that I will forgive you so easily.

Okay you can be mad at me for as long as you want but before that I need your help with something replied Li Jun.

Are you trying to change the subject?

No!

After seeing the serious look on his face Yan Liling realized that he was not kidding around so she took the matter seriously.

What do you need my help with?

I need you to use your Innate Talent to create a special pill for me?

A special Pill? What kind of pill?

One that can read memories.

And what are you going to do with it?

After a brief pause Li Jun explains to her all his plans. Yan Liling suddenly screamed: Are you crazy? Do you want to get yourself killed?

I need to do this replied Li Jun with a determined voice. After the recent failure I realized that the amount of help that I can offer big brother Wang Wei is smaller than I anticipated. After many calculations I think that currently this is the best way to help him.

Yan Liling became silent after hearing his words then she asked: How long have you been thinking about doing this?

For quite some time.

But your plan relies too much much on luck added Yan Liling. We’re dealing with someone that is likely an expert of the soul and you want to read their memories without them even noticing?

Big brother Wang Wei once theorized that memories are located in two places: the brain and the soul. Most mortals have weak souls so they store their memories in their brains. While cultivators have powerful souls so they use their souls to store their memories. However it does not mean that mortals’ soul does not have any memory nor does cultivators’ brain; it is just that they do not rely on it too much if at all.

So what we have to do is to target the brain instead of the soul. That way our chances of success will greatly increase.
