Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696: Signs of Internal Trouble

Qiyuan observed Soft Lifting struggle while pondering. ’I’m starting to understand why these people revered the Highest Sovereign so much. He not only preached equality for all beings, but also for all paths. What’s more, there isn’t any evidence as of now to determine whether he’s just faking.’

Grand Dao — and in turn, the entire Chaos Universe — is highly hierarchical. The Emperor Path reigns supreme above all other paths, and the Eternal Path stands above all other Emperor Paths. But in the Infinite Divine Court, the Highest Sovereign went out of his way to deduce and optimize the Dao Path, and presumably, the others as well.

’I’m willing to bet the other paths are not restricted by their established foundation pillar,’ Qiyuan analyzed. Someone such as Cui Yi could only achieve six pillars after Sanctification in the primordial timeline, maybe 7. However, Qiyuan would not be surprised if he reached 9, 10, or even 12 in the Divine Timeline.

’We must get his cultivation technique and apply it to the sect,’ Qiyuan thought. Now that he knew the potential of the other paths, it would be stupid not to absorb their essence to nourish the Dao Opening Sect’s foundation. ’The problem is how? Such information is probably the highest secret of the Infinite Divine Court. More importantly, there is also the possibility that such paths are only possible because of the existence of the Highest Sovereign.’

There was a fifty-fifty percent chance that Grand Dao would allow that method to appear and spread throughout the Primordial Timeline. ’Maybe there is no need to worry about Grand Dao,’ Qiyuan thought. As long as the sect gives birth to a Primordial Saint, they may be able to ignore Grand Dao’s rules.

’Let’s put a pin on Cui Yi’s Dao Path for now,’ Qiyuan concluded before raising his hand to condense the [Origin of the Sword] condensed from his and Yan Hai’s Dao. With a flicker of his wrist, he sent it to Soft Lift Sword God inside the seal dimension. Without foreign aid, the swordsman would not last long.

’That’s better,’ Qiyuan nodded before shifting his attention toward the third battle and immediately frowned.

’I have this odd feeling about this Saberman. His combination of Saber and Illusion Dao gives me an odd feeling.’ It did not take him long to realize that White Saber was the second most powerful of the commanders, but for some reason, Qiyuan felt he was the most threatening.

The Absolute Beginning Dao was a beautiful Dao that combined time, origin, beginning, and Yin-Yang. Li Taishuang was also a talent born from a Paragon father and an Empyrean mother. Despite his turbulent history, he still became one of the Golden Era’s shining talents. Yet, he was being treated like a child by White Saber. If not for the defensive capabilities of his Yin-Yang Dao and access to the World Source, he would have died after five attacks.

’I’m truly curious about the source of their strength,’ Qiyuan pondered. All the knowledge he knew indicated that SSS-Class Primals should not be this powerful unless they used foreign strength, such as artifacts, or a secret technique involving Saints.

"Hmm?" Qiyuan looked at the screen showing Yan Hai’s slaughter. Someone appeared on the other side and enacted a powerful array that successfully stopped all three of the marshals. ’Is that the officer called Fan Leiwei?’ Ma Liquiu’s information came in handy for this situation, and he immediately identified the newcomer.

’So many people have already been slaughtered, and they only showed up now? Did he need time to set up the array, or is there something else at play?’ Qiyuan did not hesitate to send countless new orders. Numerous people and puppets rushed to the battlefield to clean up the bodies, erase all baleful aura and death energy, and enact anti-ritual/ceremony arrays that utilize sacrifices or souls.

’From his reaction, he doesn’t seem to care about my actions. So, it’s something else?’ Qiyuan analyzed. So, what was the reason for the delay? Numerous thoughts flashed in his mind as he deduced countless possibilities. Then, one idea stuck in his mind. He immediately contacted the three marshals to verify Fan Leiwei’s current strength.
