n‘Two interesting Emperors,’ thought Wang Wei. The Void Emperor was once a student of the Emperor Enlightening Academy when they had cultivated 5 Great Emperors. Unfortunately, her experience in the Academy was less than pleasant.

nShe had one other competitor who was on par with her despite having the Boundless Void Physique. However, the Void Emperor always felt the Academy discriminated against her because of her gender.

nShe received fewer resources from him, less support, fewer followers, and fewer opportunities. She would have understood if there was an overwhelming difference between the two, but they were relative to each other in most things.

nThe last straw that made her leave was when one of the Supreme Teachers tried to force her to marry her competitor and give up on her goal of proving the Dao. She left in anger, trying to forge her way.

nOddly, she began to strive during this period. Her strength drastically increased until she became known as the person most likely to prove the Dao.

nAnd she did. She defeated all her opponents and became a Pseudo Eternal. Then, she established the Dao Worshipping Academy with a more tolerant and accepting philosophy.

nAs for her opponent from the Academy? She killed him in the final battle. But she did not retaliate against the Academy. After this incident, the Emperor Enlightened Academy also realized the corruption of their system and changed their policy to be more inclusive and tolerant.

n‘The Void Emperor left the Academy in the middle of the Void Shattering Realm. So, this version is the one with her peak ability,’ thought Wang Wei before sizing the Samsara Emperor.

nHis story was also interesting. In his youth, the Samsara Emperor was a renowned thief. He would infiltrate different factions to steal important resources from them. When all Heaven Chosens participated in major fortunate events, he would sneak at the last moment to steal all the rewards from everyone before vanishing. He spent most of his life running away from numerous factions–including the Dao Opening Sect.

nWang Wei knew two defining events in his life. The first one was he stole some treasure that allowed him to understand Samsara Law. And the second was when he suddenly fled into the Nether Hell.

nAfter leaving the Nether Hall, the Samsara Emperor disappeared from the world. And even after proving the Dao, he did not stay nor preach to the world: he immediately ascended.

nWang Wei analyzed his life and came up with a theory. He believes the Samsara Emperor somehow used the Nether Hall to pass his Outlaw Trial. Maybe through a deal with Old Man Nether. However, he ran away after proving Dao to escape his deal or stay away from him.

nFrom what he knew, the Samsara Emperor was one of the main Paragons in the Second Origin Battle, so he should not care about someone like Old Man Nether.

n“Let’s get this over with,” he said before deploying his Domains, and the others did the same. Facing four Domains from eventual Pseudo Eternal Emperors did not suppress him. On the contrary, he still had the advantage.

nThe first to take action was the Yin Moon Emperor. A figure suddenly condensed before her: it was Wang Wei with blood-red eyes.

n‘A manifestation of one of my deepest fears?’ thought Wang Wei as he sensed this clone who actually had close to 80% of his ability. What was one of his biggest fears? Himself. He knew if he one day went crazy, he could do irreparable damage. Even the current sane version of himself was already dangerous to the world. He could not imagine an unrestraint, completely free and devoid of mortality version of himself.

nWang Wei’s desire to be free was not to be someone who kills and destroys as he pleases. He wanted the freedom to be able to do these things: to have the ability to choose without restraint–whether physically or morally. Although if you delve deeper into his goal, it was somewhat hypocritical, he did not mind.

nAnd this technique manifested the version of himself that removed that layer of hypocrisy: it was completely free, indulging in its desires and wants.

n“Interesting technique,” he muttered as he could see the flaw in this technique: it worked on an individual basis. The Yin Moon Emperor can manifest his innermost fears and copy his strength. However, she cannot manifest Wang Wei to fight another person. Without him as the mirror, she cannot access so much of his power.

n“Lost lamb, you are a puppet because you lack a soul,” commented Wang Wei. Then, he controlled the laws of Souls in his Domain to grant this Fear Manifestation a soul. And now that he had a soul and its own Will, it was no longer under the control of Yin Moon.

nOut of anger for its past, the Fear Manifestation attacked its oppressor. It clenched its fist and punched her.

nLove Protection

nLove is one of the most powerful emotions in existence. And with this technique, the Yin Moon Emperor became the most beloved individual throughout All-Heaven Myriad Worlds. Trillions upon trillions of mortals, objects, nonliving entities, and worlds loved and adored her, manifesting in the form of protection.

nUnfortunately, she was no match for a manifestation with nearly 80% of Wang Wei’s power. Her technique and Domain could not resist the attack, and she turned back into thunder and disappeared.

nWang Wei then gazed at the Sword Casting Emperor. The latter looked at him without moving. Wang Wei knew how this man’s Dao’s operated, giving him an advantage, but he still tested it.

nHe flicked his finger, generating enough force to destroy thousands of galaxies. The Sword-Casting Emperor waved his sword, and the force returned to Wang Wei with an at least ten-fold increase.

nDao of Parrying or the Dao of Counter. He took one of the basic concepts of swordsmanship (parrying) and elevated it to the point it can counter anything–including concepts.

nWang Wei created a Spear of Death and threw it toward Sword-Casting. The latter waved his sword to parry it–including the power of death. However, when his sword touched the spear, Wang Wei’s Domain activated the Destiny Abililyt of Purpose Manipulation.

nHe forcefully changed Sword Casting Emperor’s Dao to be only able to counter physical objects. So, the latter countered his spear, but death’s power killed him.

nNow, it was the Void Emperor’s turn. She first reinforced the space around her domain to prevent teleportation and even made flying a struggle. Then, she created these Void Twisters, essentially infinite dimensions collapsing and twisting on each other.

nThe space above the Dao Opening Sect became beyond chaotic. If not for the protective arrays, this would be a catastrophe that enveloped dozens of the surrounding sect’s domains.

n‘Not bad,’ thought Wang Wei. As an expert in the Laws of Space, he could achieve the same feat, meaning this attack was useless. Instead, he was thinking about Space and Time Dao. In the world of science, space and time are basically the same, or in better words, interchangeable. However, they were two different concepts in the cultivation world–although with some relations.

n‘The space of this world is too easy to break. I should change that.’ Too many catastrophes originated from cultivators’ destructing power affecting space. As such, he decided to change the order of the world.

nCultivators can still use their Laws to teleport. But if they want to break the space itself, even a Quasi-Emperor would not have this ability.

n“Huh? Not a bad technique,” analyzed Wang Wei as he sensed the Void Emperor trying to teleport all his organs and even the Origin Essence inside his body.

n“You can die with your own technique.” He teleported her brain from her body, and she dispersed, returning to Heaven and Earth.

nAt last, it was the Samsara Emperor’s turn. The latter waved his hand to create a wheel with the power of Decay, which is one of the subsidiary laws of Death. Although, it can also be a law of its own, a potent one at that.

nWang Wei waved his hand to create the same wheel, canceling the attack.

n“Huh? How sneaky. Worthy of a thief.” The wheel was a decoy. The real attack was trying to steal his life span and secretly kill him. He snapped his finger.

nDeath Vibration

nDark soundwaves overwhelmed the Samsara Emperor, sending him into the cycle of reincarnation.

n“Survived?” Wang Wei looked at the dark aura protecting the latter. “Death Immunity? Interesting.” He suddenly looked higher at the Samsara Emperor. Amongst these young Emperors, he believed he had the highest chance of reaching Immortal Venerable strength.

nAlthough the others were talented, breaking the boundary between Immortal and Mortal sometimes requires opportunity and the right time. It is common in this age because of the Glorious Age. Without the right opportunity, many of the current Heaven Chosens would not have this feat.

nWang Wei controlled his Fate Law and changed the Samsara Emperor’s fate to that of a dying passing. And unfortunately, fate triumphed over Samsara and bypassed his Death Immunity technique.

n“I would have to love to compete with the real version.” It would be interesting if the younger version of all Emperors across time and space competed against each other.

nThat would be a sight to see.
