Chapter 1091 Unexpected Truth
1091 Unexpected Truth
'This is a unique and potent talisman,' thought Wang Wei. 'He negated all the damage from fusing with the artifact while retaining his strength. More importantly, I do not recognize the runes used for that talisman.'
He Shiyi had regained his calm and composure, and he did not have to worry about his body collapsing for a while. He had to thank his ancestor, Emperor Jia, for leaving him a way out, but this was his last chance.
However, he also realized that even with the same stat/strength as his opponent, the vast difference in Battle IQ, experience, and Dao versatility makes it almost impossible to win the war. Since any more Grand Dao boosts were now useless, he needed a new tactic to win this fight.
Six people appeared behind He Shiyi, both women and men. Each held a different weapon and had an indifferent face and dead eyes while releasing an aura extremely similar to He Shiyi's previous chaotic aura.
"Weapon Slaves," muttered Wang Wei. He had heard these things were the true foundation of the Spirit Genesis Sect. Three of these people did not stay long as they turned into motes of lights that fused with the other three, dramatically increasing their aura.
The four creatures materialized above He Shiyi and the three Weapon Slaves, forming a formation that connected them. With this boost, He Shiyi's power did not reach 69.9999% like Wang Wei, but the Weapon Slave temporarily reached 69%; his plan was to use numbers to give him the advantage.
'Move out," ordered He Shiyi, and the others followed. Weapon 1 held a whip-like weapon with two blades attached to the ends. He swung the weapon, targeting Wang Wei's feet. Weapon 2 controlled two flying golden rings to target the arms, while Weapon 3 used sword slashes to cover his escape. Meanwhile, He Shiyi suddenly disappeared.
Wang Wei calmly looked at these attacks and sensed the void was blocked; they targeted his Space Dao, forcing him to either evade or confront these attacks head-on. However, despite these people's best efforts, he still teleported away from his location.
He used the technique he taught Wang Ju, lowering himself to the two-dimensional world, full of sentient creatures made of lines and points, before ascending to his third dimension world. Such subtle and unique utilization of Spatial Dao rendered these people's attempts useless.
Once Wang Wei appeared, he was about to annihilate Weapon 3 from the mortal coil, but he sensed something, and his body moved out of the war. A halberd came from the void, releasing an eerie dark aura.
''Corruption? He wants to use the artifact to corrupt my Dao?" analyzed Wang Wei. 'That's not important. I could not detect his presence until the last minute; what method did he use? Is it those strange runes?'
Wang Wei divided his body into three, creating three clones - one representing Yin, the other Yang, and the third the alternation between Yin and Yang. All three had his full power, and their target was the three weapons slaves. However, three He Shiyi suddenly appeared, blocking his clones.
'That's the Supreme Avatar Qi used by the Pseudo Eternal from the Endless Frozen World. Was the Commerce Hub sponsoring him?' He never received any news about this, which showed these people were not as useless as he labeled them. Simultaneously, he also understood the deep foundation of the Commerce to have two of these unique Qi.
While the clones were occupied, the three weapons came together and used the [Ultimate Weapon Art Manifestation] technique. Their weapon released an aura that combined to form a yellow energy chain.
Swish!
Wang Wei evaded the chain, but the thing followed him, which was annoying. So, he stopped moving, and the chain passed through his body as if he did not exist. Wang Wei then turned into a golden light that rushed toward the weapons with immense ferocity. The chain tried to stop him, but it could not touch him no matter what; it was like they were in two different dimensions like they were yin and yang and could never touch, or that he had escaped the shackles of being touched by this thing - that he was freed from it.
Bang! He Shiyi's halberd appeared out of nowhere to block or veer him from his course.
"Caught you," muttered Wang Wei, and He Shiyi's body appeared from the void with a look of horror. His strength had returned to its 25% Grand Dao Source base, and he could not stack his buff. Everything he tried, it was like he was switching the methods of buff instead of stacking them. He immediately understood what had happened.
'A Dao Imprint attack; he disrupted my Dao Imprint to prevent me from stacking Grand Dao Boosts.' He gritted his teeth in anger and jealousy; he did not understand why he did not think of such a brilliant method. Of course, he understood this was not an easy thing to accomplish. Finding a person's Dao Imprint was innately difficult, and it was a thousand times harder doing so while they were still alive. Regardless, He Shiyi felt he could have pulled it up had he thought of it first.
He watched as Wang Wei's punch headed for his head, and he knew he would not survive this attack, so he made the smart move. He used a battle technique to exchange places with Weapon 1. However, he seemed to have expected his actions, so as soon as his fist hit, he activated his Karma Dao to summon threads connected to the three Weapon Slaves. He directed his Dragon Zodiac Fist to the other two, killing them instantly.
'Hmm. Do their weapons dissipate once they die? They are truly worthy of the name Weapon Slave,' he thought.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clones went on suicide missions against He Shiyi's avatars, and Wang Wei rushed toward his opponent. He knew the latter should have three more clones, then he would need resources and time to recondense them. He Shiyi was still a talented individual with excellent Battle IQ. As such, he immediately knew how to deal with Wang Wei's technique; he moved his Dao Imprint, constantly changing the location in the Grand Dao Source to prevent its discovery.
He Shiyi then used the Supreme Avatar Qi to summon the remaining three clones. Only with numbers will his plan have a chance to succeed and make him the final victor of this match.
[Blessing of Free Will]
Wang Wei used his Freedom Dao to give these clones free will, forcing them to revolt against the main body. He Shiyi's face contorted as he noticed this change. Luckily for him, the Supreme Avatar Qi had the word supreme in its name for a reason, thus resisting this technique, buying him a short attosecond of time.
He Shiyi was decisive and blew up the clones before controlling the force of power from these explosions and redirecting them toward Wang Wei as an attack.
Wang Wei manifested a small transparent cube that contained an entire multiverse, and the cube swallowed all the explosions, destroying the world inside. He then held the cube and crushed it, releasing the chaotic energy it contained from having a universe that had been destroyed. Additionally, the clones released the corruption aura from the Four Symbol Mirror, so the cube also contained this aura.
Shiyi held a talisman in his palm, and his eyes were intensely ruthless. He sacrificed his body, soul, and body to activate the talisman, which condensed a red array above this Void Battlefield. A white light descended from the formation, enveloping Wang Wei before he could react.
He Shiyi appeared in the distance with a pale face, a weak aura, and a cracked mirror floating next to him.
"This is the end. I won," he uttered.
"I'm afraid not."
"Impossible." He watched a perfectly intact Wang Wei floating after the light abated. "How can it be?"
"All of you are so focused on finding ways to block my divination but fail to realize how powerful of an Intelligence Agency I have under my control," said Wang Wei calmly.
"You've infiltrated their ranks?"
"I've been keeping an eye on these rats for a very long time," replied Wang Wei. "After capturing Number 10, I finally had enough information to truly infiltrate their rank. They should all be attacking Number 10 as we speak, and what awaits them will only be capture or death."
He Shiyi's body trembled. He used the Longevity Pill the Commerce Hub gave him for one last desperate play to exile this bastard to the upper dimension. According to these people's words, many people in the upper dimension wanted Wang Wei dead, so he would not survive long when they sent news of his arrival.
But now, his plan failed, and he lost. He Shiyi looked at him with gritted teeth, anger, hatred, and many other complicated emotions.
"Now, you're truly cornered. Let's see what happens next," said Wang Wei before punching with all his strength. A colossal red fist descended from the Heavens with the power and intent to annihilate all sentient beings.
Bamg!
A rune materialized above He Shiyi's head, releasing a shield that effortlessly blocked the attack. Then, his temperament changed. He became calm, his eyes wiser and more indifferent, and even his aura old, ancient, and noble.
"So that's how it is," muttered Wang Wei. "You and Emperor Jia are not two different people - you're his reincarnation."
