Chapter 1278 First Battle With The Parasites

[Unedited Chapter]

A flame manifested on Five Feather's face, her deformed skull returned to normal, and her skin was as smooth as a lake's reflection under the moonlight. She stared at him with red eyes, her killing intent shattering the void, but it healed instantly, creating a situation where countless void tears materialized around Five Feathers.

"How dare you lowly thing injure me!"

"Lowly?" Wang Wei looked at her incredulously before starting to laugh without restraint; it was as if he had heard the biggest joke between all Heaven and Myriad Worlds.

"You, of all people, call me lowly? I have talent that you can only dream of. My ancestors created a foundation that spread through the Chaos Universe. Of all the infinite life in this world, Heaven and Earth chose me to bear the destiny of the next era. And you dare call me lowly?"

Wang Wei looked at her with a sneer.

"What do you have that can stand against me? Your cultivation? It's only a matter of time before I surpass you and can treat you as an ant. Is it because you're one of the seven moons and a ruler of this world? But you and I both know that you're only a guarding dog of the two suns — not the true ruler of this world.

"So, tell me, where does your arrogance come from?"

Five Feathers clenched her hands. She felt her pride being trampled. The sad part is that the latter is telling the truth, which hurts even more. Her killing intent suddenly increased.

Five Feathers woke up from the shock. She waved her hand to disperse the light. She spent trillions of yuan epochs developing this technique, so how could it hurt her? However, Wang Wei's goal was never to hurt her. Although it was a common tactic of messing up the opponent's mind by beating them with their own Dao or techniques, he was not so arrogant that he could do this to a Paragon — at least not in his current state. His primary objective was to change the rhythm of this match. Although it had only started, Five Feathers was ruthless and overbearing, and in just two attacks, she forced him into a passive state. He could not allow that to continue.

His staff suddenly elongated above Five Feathers's head, and he smashed downward. The beautiful Phoenix's face changed. This attack was not a simple weapon smash. No, it contained a technique that Wang Wei had created.

He once read a Staff Dao Emperor Scripture called [Critical Hit Path]. The idea behind this scripture was that these mysterious trajectories existed between Heaven and Earth. If someone could follow them with their weapons, they could perform a critical hit — an exponentially more potent attack than usual. The critical hits could increase an attack's potency by as little as 10%, and there were no upper limits. However, the higher the critical hit, the more trajectory the attack needed to follow.

Even the author of this technique never reached a critical hit beyond 20 times because of the complex trajectories. This technique had potential, and Wang Wei once tried to develop it. However, he had to give up after reaching a critical hit of 33 times because these trajectories were too much, even for his powerful mind.

Additionally, he discovered that the higher the realm, the more complex they became. In the Emperor Realm, he reached a critical hit of 33 times, but his limit dropped to 28 in the Empyrean Realm. Unless he spent countless yuan epochs studying and developing this technique, he could not return to the original 33.

Five Feathers summoned her Earth, turning herself into a rock woman. When the staff hit her head, it cracked, and she flew into the earth. However, she landed on her feet, and her injury was only a minor head scratch.

'This technique has a lot of potential,' Wang Wei thought. Although it appeared that that strike was useless, Wang Wei knew otherwise. The Earth Dao defense technique Five Feathers used is probably one of her life-saving and ultimate defensive methods. She connected to the Earth of the entire Eternal Ascension World and used it to protect herself. How vast is the Eternal Ascension World? How big is its earth? And for her to summon so much of its power, she must have used her status and destiny as one of the world's ruler to deepen her connection with the Earrth.

Yet, with that attack, he still broke through her defense.

'The side effects are too much,' Wang Wei complained. It takes a lot of focus and calculation for him to achieve critical hits above ten times, and given the fact his attacks now were at the Paragon- Level, the burden on his soul was something even Wang Wei could not bear.

'I have a feeling this technique will be very useful at the Primal, no, Half-Step Transcendence level.'

Wang Wei thought, making a mental note. He appreciated this technique, but not as much as now. So, he decided to take more time studying it and maybe even find its creator if they were alive.

'On another note, this phoenix is actually very talented, especially if you compare her directly to that stupid blood dragon,' he thought. All the techniques she's shown so far were excellent, raising Wang Wei's appraisal of her by a decent amount.
