Chapter 490 Fateless

"Are you a Fateless?" asked Wang Wei.

"So, you've finally figured it out."

Wang Wei paused before laughing out loud, as many things again clicked in his mind regarding this trial.

"Is that envy I detect in your eyes?" said Zhen Chao with a gloating sneer. But Wang Wei did not answer him as he thought about many things. The Luck Trial occurred every generation, so different Emperor Lineages have a world they usually conduct it in.

However, in this generation, the Great Wu Dynasty discovered a new world and thought it would be a great idea to change from the previous world to challenge the Heaven Chosens.

The Dao Opening Sect agreed with a few others; meanwhile, other sects like the Sword Casting Villa and the Yin Moon Palace continued using the old world.

However, in this world, there happens to have an extremely rare Fateless individual. What is a Fateless Being? Well, as the name suggests, a person who is not bound by fate the moment they are born.

After the Wheel of Fate weaved their Fate Line, they became invisible, not influenced by fate. The lives of mortals are determined from birth. Every waking moment of their existence is already determined. Unless an outside force intervenes in their lives and changes their fate, their lives are already determined from birth.

Cultivators are different. The moment they began to cultivate, they began to slowly change their fates as their futures were determined by their choice. Unfortunately, cultivators still have [Nexus of Fate], or events that will happen to them no matter what.

So, it could be argued that cultivators do not genuinely control their fates. After all, no matter their choice or decision, their Nexus Event will still occur. So, did they truly have the power to change their fate since they are destined to lead to their [Fate Nexus]?

Luckily, as this Zhen Chao said, there is no absolute, or perfection in Heaven and Earth, including Fate. According to the [Order] of the universe, some individuals will be born without the restraints of Fate.

All their choices and decisions are determined by them the moment they are born. And they do not have [Nexus of Fate]. These people essentially achieve freedom the moment they are born.

So, Wang Wei knew that it was not a coincidence he encountered a Fateless during his trial and became his enemy. Adding to that, a Fateless who cultivates the Dao of Free Will was the perfect combination.

'That means Heavenly Dao has been planning my trial even before the Luck Trial. Maybe, it started when I created my Heavenly Physique. No, maybe even since I was young.'

He concluded someone becoming an Outlaw is based on intent. Ever since he was young, he wanted to control fate and was very vocal about his desire. So, Heavenly Dao classified him as an Outlaw and began to plot against him.

Wang Wei even suspected his physique's ability to ignore the price for divination was Heavenly Dao's subtle hint for him to abandon his path and focus on cultivating the Dao of Destiny, or a part of Fate.

"Hahaha, I could not believe the noble and powerful Sacred Son would be jealous of a lowly commoner like me," said Zhen Chao. "Well, it is understandable. After all, I was born with something you have to work for your entire life: freedom.

"Now that I said it out loud, I realize how much of a beautiful word it is."

"Freedom?" said Wang Wei with a sneer. "So what if you're a Fateless? Without strength, you were still manipulated like a puppet."

p????-?0??? "What do you mean?"

Wang Wei squinted his eyes, "So, you don't even know about the trial? Well, that would make sense since who would want to be a pawn willingly."

"What do you mean by this?"

"It's just as I said. Everything that happened to you is the result of Heavenly Dao manipulating your life to become my enemy. So, you could say that all the tragedy in your life is because of it."

"Liar! Why would Heavenly Dao do such a thing?"

"Apparently, it is to test me."

Zhen Chao's eyes briefly became bloodshot before taking a deep breath to calm down. "I know you're lying."

"And why would I do that?"

"Of course, to affect my state of mind."

Wang Wei smiled before waving his hand to show an image recording of his memories. It mainly focused on his conversation with the old beggar about the Outlaw Trial and information about Lin Fan and Jian Wushuang's trial.

Suddenly, Zhen Chao felt many unexplained events in his life made sense; he always thought he was a very lucky individual, similar to a Son of Destiny–which explained these events. But now…

"It is very easy for you to make up these memories," said Zhen Chao calmly while secretly clenching his teeth. However, Wang Wei only smiled at him without saying anything else.

Sometimes, being too intelligent is not a good thing.

Now that he has bought himself enough time to seal the poison in his body, he can go on the offensive again. Unfortunately, this poison is so unique that Wang Wei would need a lot of knowledge about it to use Wu Hong's Scripture to seal it.

Nevertheless, he still regained a little strength, preventing his body from deteriorating further. However, he also knew that he did not have long. This poison was evolving, and it was only a matter of time before the seal became useless.

Wang Wei tried to use the black hole inside his Acupoint to deal with it, but his acupoint–which he nourished to be even bigger than a universe–almost collapsed the moment a small poison entered.

So, he understood why this thing was referred to as the nemesis of Body Refiners.

Wang Wei rushed toward Zhen Chao to punch him but the latter easily evaded his attack. Then, countless strings surrounded the latter, but Zhen Chao just passed through these strings with no difficulty.

[Fate Confinement]

Wang Wei controlled the fate of the surrounding space to block Zhen Chao's path and confined him.

[Space Freedom]

After using this technique, Zhen Chao bypassed the Space Imprisonment. However, immediately afterward, he found a terrible gravity that weighed on him, pausing him.

'Gravity Spell?' thought Zhen Chao;however, in this short pause, Wang Wei already reached in front of him and punched him.

Boom!

Using his fleshly body' strength and the Origin Essence in his body, Wang Wei landed a solid hit and sent Zhen Chao flying crashing in the ground.

Regrettably, less than a second later, Zhen Chao dug himself from the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth.

'Even though I used the [Physical Force Freedom] technique, his attack still did a number on me. Even weakened, this monster is still a monster.'

He raised his head to look at Wang Wei who was bleeding from his mouth and smiled. When the opponent's fist contacted him, he removed the [Fate Reversal] that he was using on his fleshly body to prevent it from further deteriorating.

'This kid is really my antithesis,' thought Wang Wei as he realized he could no longer use his [Fate Reversal Technique] to return his fleshly body to its prime.

'In that case, let's focus on the other techniques I know.'

Wang Wei then used the Yu Clan's Light Scripture to rush toward his enemy; he turned into a golden light to rush towards Zhen Chao while also placing a powerful Gravity enough to collapse several universes.

As for Zhen Chao, he calmly used several other techniques:

[Gravity Freedom]

[Wind Freedom]

[Friction Freedom]

[Weight Freedom]

Then, his speed reached several million times the speed of light. Using this speed, he did not confront Wang Wei head on but evaded all his attacks with ease.

No matter what Wang Wei tried, the guys would use his speed to evade or ignore it altogether.

'So, his tactic is to buy enough time until I'm weak to the point of being helpless.'

"I can't believe you're such a coward that you won't even face me head on."

"Such a low level method, I expect better from you."

"I wonder how your sister would feel if she saw your current self," said Wang Wei with a smile, which appeared devilish to Zhen Chao.

"You better leave her name out of your mouth."

"She probably looked up to you as a child: A big brother who protected her from the scorn of being a bastard child.

"Then, when she heard you could not cultivate but she could, I guessed she made it her goal to be the one who protects you.

"I wonder how she would react if she saw your current cowardly side; running away from the man who caused her death. I wonder what her eyes would look like."

A red aura made of immense killing intent surrounded Zhen Chao as he looked at Wang Wei. He slowly placed his hand on the Saber on his waist before pulling it out.

"As you wish, I will no longer allow your breath to taint this world. Don't worry, I promise you that your death will not be as swift as my family."
