Chapter 1277 The Kun Fish
n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[AN: I made a mistake in the previous chapter. The sect only gave Wang Wei one Paragon Puppet, and the other was a Longevity Resource. I've modified the last chapter. He still asked Wu Hong for a pair of weapons he would use later, but he only summoned one puppet.]
...
Five Feathers fused with the void while observing the Heavenly Beauty Palace. She frowned deeply, 'No wonder Time Eater, who was usually so eager to return home, was acting so nonchalantly about this mission. He knew something was wrong.' She understood why the latter did not fight so hard to be the one who sent a projection to rescue that stupid dragon.
'Why is she here? And is she responsible for the dragon's misery?' Five Feathers pondered. After her projection returned to the Eternal Ascension World, it rushed to this place, but she did not dare enter because she sensed Empress Wu's aura.
Throughout her long reign, Five Feathers was wary of only a handful of individuals, even a few of whom she feared. Empress Wu belonged to the latter.
'Now, what am I supposed to do?' Five Feathers knew she could do nothing if that woman wanted to kill the stupid dragon. And if she tried to interfere, the fate of her projection would be the same. Simultaneously, she knew that if she failed this mission, the others would take this opportunity to attack her. Some might take into consideration the fact they had just lost the dragon and be more understanding, but that bastard, Undead Phoenix, won't care about such a thing.
Five Feathers found herself in quite a dilemma. However, someone broke her thinking session before she could make a decision. She looked at the thing that rushed toward her with undisguised fighting intent.
"Hmm? A Paragon Puppet?" Her first thought was that this was one of those stupid people who had escaped the cleanup. During her reign, she faced many assassination attempts from people with low cultivation realms who accidentally got their hands on Paragon Tier Artifacts, arrays, puppets, etc. However, the result was always the same — their eventual destruction.
"No, this is not just a puppet. It's you, Wang Wei."
"You're quick to catch on."
"You can hide your face, aura, and everything else, but you can't hide that disgusting destiny," Five Feathers sneered.
"Noted," Wang Wei said. He realized he needed a superior method of hiding his destiny due to their resonance with the parasites. In the future, if he ever tried to assassinate one of them, such news will be crucial.
Five Feathers stared deeply at Wang Wei, her eyes not hiding her profound hatred.
Wang Wei was in a trance due to this sudden epiphany.
'No, Paragons have not escaped the shackles of time. They've removed most of Time's restraints on them. If they could completely remove it, then they can achieve Half-Step Transcendence. They will truly stand above the River of Time.'
With this epiphany, Wang Wei's understanding of Time Dao drastically increased, which then increased his overall understanding of Fate Dao. So, his cultivation rapidly rose from 78% to 80% Grand Dao Source. 'This is great timing.'
[Time Duplicate]
'As expected,' Wang Wei thought. He quickly duplicated his Paragon Puppet due to his new understanding before handing it to the other staff. However, Wang Wei did not immediately let the duplicate take action but asked it to hide in the void for a sneak attack at the right time.
'I'm glad I did not have to ask her for help. That would be an awkward way for our first meeting.' According to Wang Wei's original plan, he would have to ask Xun Junyao's help with her Copy Dao if his method did not work.
'Now, everything is prepared.' Wang Wei did not underestimate Five Feather Phoenix because of how Blood Dragon acted. He understood that one of the primary reasons the blood dragon's battle was so terrible was because of how emotional he was.
Blood Dragon saw Xun Junyao as the love of his life, but she played with him and destroyed him emotionally. Considering his minimal battle experience, the entire fight became a joke due to his poor mental state.
However, Five Feathers was not Blood Dragon. Their battle experience might be similar, but her mental state was perfectly normal. Additionally, she seems more ruthless, given that her first action after meeting him was to find his Time Mark and erase him from the past.
"You bastard," Five Feathers yelled as soon as she returned.
"Why are you excited? It's not my fault you acted so rashly," Wang Wei shrugged. "Oh, by the way, watch out."
Five Feathers was momentarily puzzled before she sensed something and raised her head. Wang Wei's 11 Fate Palaces were arranged into a formation above her head and released a terrifying gray light. Five Feathers reacted swiftly by opening her mouth and firing a fire beam to block the attack.
However, Wang Wei would not let such an opportunity pass by. He appeared beside her and smacked her face with his staff, sending the proud phoenix flying thousands of light years away from this location.
'This should be far enough,' Wang Wei thought. He did not want their fight to affect the Heavenly Beauty Palace and possibly removed the seal he had placed, allowing these people to escape or release the information about the blood dragon.
