872 Clash of Dao (VII)
“Fight against Heaven and Earth? Against their fate?” said Di Tian with a sneer. “Most people have their life determined the moment they are born, doomed to be nothing but puppets.”
He did not hesitate to take a page from his opponent’s book. With his words, he created something similar to the River of Fate, controlling the destiny and fate of all the people Wang Wei created.
As a result, 99% of the people who were trying to fight to prevent the death of their world stopped, accepting their upcoming doom. Only the remaining one percent, with determined Will, refused to accept such an end.
Sadly, such a drastic change accelerated the destruction of the world. Wang Wei watched all of this with calm and indifferent eyes, secretly shaking his head.
He knew if he were more powerful, he could have created cultivators, allowing for more people to fight against this upcoming fate. Unfortunately, his current ability can barely allow him to create life, but it cannot create a complete world with spiritual power and laws that allow cultivation.
Regardless, watching these people struggling to escape their fate and most of them abandoning such pursuit and leaving only a few to continue greatly benefited his understanding of Fate Dao.
Plus, he only needed them to buy enough time to save his life, and he succeeded. He waved his hand to manifest the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Symbol.
The symbol rotated, rapidly evolving into something more complex.
“Yin-Yang (Taiji) evolving into Wuji,” muttered Di Tian, and he was correct. After watching Zhang Yucheng’s battle with Monk Wuzhi, he learned about the benefit of understanding Wuji Dao to his fleshly body’s concept of [Nothingness], so he designated time to evolve his Yin-Yang Law into Wuji when needed.
So, during this battle, he used Wuji to imbue his body with one of the properties of Primordial Chaos–Infinite. After his body attained that property, he did not care for the destruction of that world.
The power of Primordial Chaos can no longer assimilate him, and Di Tian knew of this. So, he chose a different approach. He took the Primordial Chaos he created and molded it into something else.
A golden river manifested above the sky of the Water Dimension, releasing an unknown and fierce fluctuation. Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he looked at that river.
“The River of Freedom,” he commented, already deducing Di Tian’s plan. He created or copied the River of Fate module to create the River of Freedom–the antithesis of his Fate Dao.
“Sadly, you’re mistaken.”
Wang Wei pointed his finger to manifest the River of Fate, which proceeded to release countless strings that entered the golden river.
Plouch!
Di Tian vomited a small mouthful of blood as Wang Wei instantly took control of his River of Freedom, inducing a backlash. Then, Wang Wei opened his mouth and swallowed that river.
Mysterious charms or Dao Rhymes emanated from his body as his Pseudo or Incomplete Dao Body became more complete. He once absorbed the River of Fate from the Heavenly Abode World. Now, with this River of Freedom, his foundation became deeper.
Although his strength did not increase by much, his future potential had drastically increased.
Di Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while trying to control his anger. Nothing is more outrageous than when your enemy uses your ability to increase their strength.
However, he was a wise person to know when to learn from a situation. So, after this experience, he had some ideas. Since Wang Wei can use such a method to perfect his Dao Body and foundation, he can follow in his footsteps.
After this battle, he will enter one of the branches of Samsara and use its power to strengthen his Dao Body.
[Heavenly Dao Eye]
Di Tian acted swiftly as he created a third eye on his forehead. Immediately, his temperament changed; he became cold, indifferent, noble, and almighty.
His eyes penetrated all secrets, truths, and mysteries between Heaven and Earth. Di Tian became the embodiment that knowledge is power.
Wang Wei immediately became serious. He knew the importance of information or knowledge. Although Heaven Dao appeared to be the most useless and weakest among the Five Supreme Outlaw Dao, he knew this was far from the truth.
“Knowledge is power” is not just a saying. If a mortal has all the knowledge in the universe, they could easily plan the death of a Paragon.
The Supreme Outlaw Daos stood at the pinnacle of all Daos because it’s easier for them to affect all other Daos.
Greater Chaos is the embodiment of all Daos, Fate can control all Daos, Creation Dao can create all Daos, Destruction can eradicate all Daos, and Heaven Dao allows someone to know about all Daos.
For example, if someone practices Heaven Dao and knows everything about a specific person, it is the same as knowing their fate. In some of the novels Wang Wei read on Earth, some protagonists control Fate Dao by using a quantum computer that can calculate all variables in the universe, thus knowing the destiny of everything in existence.
So, he knew the horror of Heaven Dao.
Wang Wei immediately acted after knowing what Di Tian had done.
[Order: All information about me will be hidden.]
[Disorder: As a price, I will lose the corresponding spiritual power.]
As soon as Wang Wei used his Order-Disorder Dao, Di Tian frowned. His purpose in using Heaven Dao was to know how to defeat his opponent through knowledge. However, things seemed to have failed before even beginning.
With his Heavenly Eye, he saw what the specific order and disorder Wang Wei used to block him. He also saw trying to circumvent the restrictions as useless because his opponent’s spiritual power was so vast that it seemed infinite.
He seemed to be connected to this source of infinite spiritual power. Although there is a seal to this source, it was only there because Wang Wei did not want to remove it.
Di Tian decided to no longer focus on such a thing that served no purpose in helping him win this battle. He looked around, processing all the information and knowledge he knew.
In a very short time, he created the next tactic that would help him win this battle. He waved his hand to manifest a very complex formation. Then, a colossal hand descended on Wang Wei from the formation, making his facial expression grave.
For the first time since this battle started, he felt death approaching him. So, he did not hesitate to use whatever means available to protect himself.
He summoned his Proving Dao Artifact and copied Tong Ruobing’s artifact by turning it into a jewel in his forward that boosted all his abilities.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm
[Five Elements Shield]: Yin-Yang can evolve the Five Elements, and his body is perfectly balanced with the Five Elements. So, he used this layer of shield to block this attack.
[Wuji Shield], using the characteristic of infinite to swallow the attack. After all, the attack has to pass through Infinite before reaching him. However, Wang Wei was not finished.
[Infinite Space]; he added another layer of infinity by using his Space Dao to create an infinite space between himself and the attack. Wang Wei did not care that he was shameless and copied this technique from his past life.
[Time Acceleration Shield]: The attack will pass through a time acceleration domain, meaning millions of years will have passed before reaching him. And after so long, most of its strength would have been corroded with the passage of time.
[Death Shield]: The attack will die before reaching its destination.
[Life Shield]: The attack will change into Life Energy that heals him as it passes through that layer.
[Karma Shield]: He chose someone who is connected to him by karma to bear some of the attacks for him. And without hesitation, Wang Wei chose his ancestor, Sword One. Anyway, he knew she would not mind nor be affected.
[Luck Shield]: Whatever needs to happen to ensure this attack is not successful or is weakened as much as possible will happen after passing through that shield.
[Destiny and Fate Shield]: This shield is applied to Wang Wei himself. It blessed him with the destiny and fate to survive this encounter.
[Freedom Shield]: Another shield that applied blessing to himself. He blessed him to be free from death, injury, and attacks.
The final layer of protection he created used his Secondary Daos, which includes Soul Shield, Array Shields, Talisman Shield, and Pills that strengthened defense, increased regeneration, and a variety of life-saving methods.
Boom!
The towering hand still landed on Wang Wei despite all his protections. The power it released was devastating, annihilating both the Water and Wood Dimension, leaving Di Tian standing in the Yin Dimension.
Such power was beyond anything his own power could ever reach, shocking all the watchers of this battle. Everyone already knew this Heaven Will Battle would be legendary, but they never thought it would reach such a height.
