Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1463 An Act of Kindness
Chapter 1463 An Act of Kindness
The umbrella released a rainbow that pierced through the light golden barrier, heading directly to the trial. The remaining people's hearts shook as this attack was enough to annihilate everybody present, Wang Wei included. A few people immediately ran away, but Wang Wei and a few others did not believe the trial would fail so easily.
Nine lights rushed into the sky, followed by the appearance of nine spirits. Sir Lu was in the front, followed by the Dao Spirit sitting on his scroll, the Batte Spirit with his armor, the soul Spirit who was transparent, the heart Spirit who was a metallic elemental creature, the Luck Spirit who was a small golden dragon, the tribulation Spirit who had lightning for eyes, the essence spirit who was muscular and red skin, and lastly, the life Spirit who wore a dress made from tree branches and flowers as a crown.
Each spirit released a golden light, reinforcing the golden barrier and rendering the attack useless. The five artifacts trembled as they released more power, but it appeared they were outmatched. Everyone waited with bated breath, wondering whether the tide had shifted. However, confrontations on this level are rarely simple.
Ji Jingjing—the true participant of the Heart Desire Palace and the umbrella's controller—chanted an incantation, and the others followed. The five transcendent artifacts started resonating with each other to combine their attacks. The other artifacts stopped attacking individually, and the rainbow beam released from the umbrella increased its intensity.
'Things are not looking good for the trial,' Wang Wei thought, and he was not just stating the obvious. This sudden change is proof that these transcendent factions have been planning this event together, meaning they will cooperate to achieve their objective before dividing the trial like a piece of pie.
"No time to hesitate," the Battle Spirit yelled, and Sir Lu nodded. A loud explosion occurred in the second hunting area, and all the Bestowal Creatures died violently before turning into a beam of light that rushed to the barrier. The second hunting area rapidly shrunk until there was nothing left.

Ji Jingjing, who was more beautiful in her man clothes, calmly looked at the situation. She frowned slightly. 'It seems we alone can't handle the situation.' Although she looked calm, she and the other artifact users were under enormous pressure. Their souls were literally screaming due to the effect of using such potent transcendent artifacts.
Ji Jingjing raised her head to look in the distance. 'Since there is no response, we can push things to the next level.' She summoned a token and crushed it. Five powerful eyes or entities descended on the trial as soon as she finished. Bi Longsheng and his people recognized one of them since it was Ji Liuyu, and Wang Wei recognized one more person: Old Man Tianji.
These five entities, who can be considered higher conceptual beings, looked at the trial, and with one gaze, the barrier crumbled. Terrifying pressure spread through every corner of the trial, and everybody on the ground—except Bi Longsheng—exploded into a blood pool and lived in the form of consciousness. A creaking sound echoed between Heaven and Earth from the trial, sounding more like a painful scream.
Sir Lu looked at everything with gritted teeth before yelling: "Lord, are you going to let us be destroyed?" The atmosphere immediately shifted. It was as if these transcendent beings stopped holding their breath, forcing the space-time continuum in their surroundings to stop working. A pair of golden eyes that embody all truths in the universe manifested on the opposite of the five.
"Little boy Ji, I don't appreciate having to see your face twice in a few seconds," the Heaven Cardinal uttered. Ji Liuyu calmly looked at him without responding.
"What? Have you become cocky because of your little friends?" the Heaven Cardinal sneered, not hiding his disdain for the five transcendent beings.
"Respected Cardinal, we have not broken the rules," Old Man Tianji said.
"Do you think the rules can restrict me?"
"Can't they not?" responded one of the eyes that contained a sharpness to it.
"You ants are getting more arrogant without knowing your weight," Heaven Cardinal said as he glanced at the eye. Far in the distance, a swordsman sat atop a mountain of swords in a world called the Raising King World. He suddenly opened his eyes and vomited a large mouthful of blood. He shook his head before closing them again. His eyes remained as determined and defiant when glancing at the Cardinal.
The Heaven Cardinal sneered, ignoring those defiant eyes. To him, this was nothing but the bark of a dog trying to hide its fear. His gaze shifted to Sir Lu and the trial.
"Lord, please save us."
"Technically speaking, the Heaven and Earth Wonders are under my jurisdiction and should help you," the Cardinal said. "However, you lost all your rights when you chose not to report the birth of the trial's new consciousness."
"Lord, it's not–"
"You don't have to explain yourself," the Cardinal cut him off. "You felt a sense of connection to it and thought this was your chance at a new life. As creatures with sentience and intelligence, it's understandable why you made this choice. However, you must live with the consequences."
"We are willing to continue serving you," Sir Lu responded with gritted teeth. "Even if it means the main mind is enslaved — I just hope you don't let it fall into these people's hands."
"It's truly fascinating," the Heaven Cardinal uttered. "Fei was known for her kindness during her time — especially for her spirit. Years later, even after her death, a new mind born from the remnants of her memories can use that kindness to affect you to this level."
After hearing the word [Fei], Sir Lu and the other spirits felt a profound sadness. They did not know its source, but the feeling was so intense that it almost crushed their minds.
"Lord," the spirit yelled with tears in their eyes. "What about your work?"
"You are not as important as you think," the Cardinal said. "Plus, your fate has long been determined in the grand design."
"We will do anything!"
"Alright, my decision is final," the Heaven Cardinal replied calmly. "However, I'm not completely heartless." The Cardinal is in charge of creating Chaos Worlds and establishing orders, so he has seen countless times the influence one life can have on an entire world, let alone a race. The Cardinal looked at the five eyes. "You cannot directly interfere in this matter." He shifted to the still-floating Bi Longsheng. "The same goes for your mansion."
Bi Longsheng bowed politely: "As you wish." The Cardinal took one a side look at Wang Wei's conscious state without anyone noticing before disappearing from sight. The other eyes looked at each other, secretly communicating. The Cardinal words have many implications, insinuations, or hints; they must communicate how to proceed.
The Spirits controlled their emotions before opening a portal to an unknown location. The transcendents reacted swiftly as they came up with a plan. Then, under their orders, Ji Jinjing and the others took out their artifacts and opened another portal to follow. Wang Wei's body condensed again, and he exhaled deeply.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want me to take you?"
Wang Wei looked in the distance to see Bi Longsheng approaching with a gentle smile.
"Thank you for the offer, but I have my own way."
"Are you sure? The inner core of this trial is not something anyone can get into."
"I understand that, but there is no need."
"As you wish," Bi Longsheng smiled before leaving. He gathered his people and disappeared from sight into another portal. Bi Longsheng was correct, as ordinary means could not grant entry into this place. However, Wang Wei had two means of entry. The first was the fact he tasked Red Mask to infiltrate his spirit particles into one of the transcendent faction members.
The second was the fact this trial was technically a living creature. Wang Wei planned to observe the trial's [Existence] to find an entry point. Under normal circumstances, this might not work, but his chances were high, given the creature was severely injured.
'Has Kong taken action?' Wang Wei thought when he sensed the formation activation and spatial ripple from the distance. 'It seems Red Mask has secretly helped him. That's good since I don't have to take action.'
Wang Wei activated his technique, trying to take this opportunity to glance at the core of a transcendent being. However, not even a second had passed when a menacing figure appeared before him. He calmly looked at this red-skinned man whose head was constantly twitching and sighed deeply: his past was catching up to him. Sadly, this was not the time, but that decision was not up to him.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking me?" Wang Wei asked despite having guessed the answer. The red man chucked, but his voice had no humor, only endless hatred and anger.
