Wang Wei went to the Western Continent, in the Mo Clan’s Domain. Of course, because of his previous rampage, he was not welcome in this place, so he had to hide his identity.

A month passed, and Mo Xingyun was nowhere in sight. Wang Wei then decided to take a more proactive method. He contacted one of the Fate Shadow Guards with a high status in the Mo Clan and had them find an excuse to send her out.

This plan worked, but Wang Wei had to wait an entire six months before she actually left. And a few times, he sensed this weird method trying to find him, trying to find danger, to be exact. He had to use many techniques to hide effectively.  Luckily, his patience was soon rewarded as Mo Xingyun left the clan.

Once she arrived at a destination, a few Domains from her clan, Wang Wei, finally intercepted her. “Cautious, aren’t we?”

“Apparently, not enough,” replied Mo Xingyun calmly.

“Should I call you Mo Xingyun or Heaven Devouring Emperor?”

“Why would you call me by my ancestor’s name?” she rebutted.

“I have to say, your method is truly wonderful. No matter what technique I use, I cannot see any signs of body possession. Even your bloodline appeared normal.”

“That’s because your assumption is wrong. I’m Mo Xongyun.”

“Then, how do you explain the anomalies? Why is it do you know things you should not know?”

“I don’t have to explain anything to you.”

“True. Anyway, after confirming the Heaven Devour Emperor died miserably after many people jumped him, I’ve already labeled you as his means of revival. And that is enough for me to remove your existence.”

Wang Wei punched with all the power of his main body.

Boom!

The area around Mo XIngyun twisted as ten small vortexes that resembled black holes protected her by swallowing the force of that punch. She was intact.

“4-Leaf Strength and a terrific control of the Devour Dao,” commented Wang Wei. His attack was on the level of 6-Leaf, yet Mo Xingyun still swallowed it despite the fact it should have been over her capacity limit. And the reason for that is she has an unmatched speed for swallowing and refining anything she devoured. Her ability would be nothing even Wang Wei could do, even if he had cultivated the Law of Devouring.

“Should I be delighted for your appraisal?”

“You should. However, I’m somewhat disappointed.”

“Oh, and why is that?”

“I can’t sense the power of Nine Extremity Foundation from you.”

“That’s not something anyone can achieve.”

“True. But you’re the Heaven Devour Emperor.”

“I am not.”

“With your understanding of [Existence], you should have used the unorthodox way.”

“Your words literally prove that I’m not the Heaven Devour Emperor,” rebutted Mo Xingyum, trying to think of ways to get out of the situation. She pondered ways of escaping and surviving this encounter.

“No, I’m missing something,” replied Wang Wei as if he was thinking out loud. “One of the fastest ways for an Emperor to revive themselves is to possess someone related to them by bloodline since family is a perfect vessel for their powers and Dao.

“However, the Order of Heaven and Earth would not allow you guys to simply participate in the Heaven Will Battle and use your power to win. There must be restrictions, one of which is that you can only rely on the power and talent of the people you possess.

“You can use your knowledge and experience to make Mo Xingyun’s body as strong as she currently is. But you cannot use your understanding of [Existence] to use the unorthodox method of Nine Extremity. She could only achieve Nine Extremity if she had the talent to comprehend [Existence].

“Am I correct?” 

Wang Wei’s understanding of the World’s Order deepened. Heavenly Dao does not allow Great Emperors to abuse the Heaven Will Battle System to cultivate–similar to the way the Five Heart Emperor did.

However, the latter will, in turn, ignore them if they use this method to revive themselves. Of course, Wang Wei did not believe all Emperors could use this method, and there might be a price to pay.

Otherwise, too many dead Emperors would try this method to revive themselves instead of waiting for countless Yuan Epochs.

“As I said, I’m not my ancestor. I’ve only received some inheritance from him.”

“Quick question: Don’t you have some form of body dysmorphia? After all, you were once a man.” Mo Xingyun did not answer, and Wang Wei shrugged his shoulder. He gathered the power of all his incarnations and punched.

[Fate Annihilation Fist]

The entire Domain trembled before creating a massive spatial tear. However, Mo Xingyun was nowhere to be seen.

“What an ingenious technique,” muttered Wang Wei. Mo XIngyun’s Proving Dao Artefact is unique as it is used mainly to store the overspilled power that her body cannot swallow or digest. She devoured his entire attack with this method before redirecting it to open a spatial passage.

Mo Xingyun used his power to remove his blockade of the surrounding; she was fast, efficient, and displayed excellent Battle IQ. Her extraordinary ability has further convinced him the Heaven Devour Emperor possessed her body.

Wang Wei left a clone to fix the damage he did to the spatial structure of this place.  Meanwhile, his main body divine and calculated Mo Xingyun’s whereabouts.

After teleporting to her destination, he squinted his eyes: one of the Forbidden Lands, the Swallowing Zone. The power of time flashed in his eyes, and he saw her rushing inside less than a second ago.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment before deciding against further pursuing. He was dealing with a possible Eternal Emperor–even if it was severely restricted. Not to mention, the Heaven Devour Emperor was a Dao Lord, which indicated his intelligence and cunningness.

And taking into account the environmental advantage, Wang Wei was not stupid enough to fight Mo Xingyun in a place full of Devouring Power. After pondering about it for a while, he left–he was satisfied with removing Sun Jiaolong as a threat.

As for Mo Xungyun, he placed her at the top of the list of people to be on the lookout for at all times.

Inside the Swallowing Zone, Mo Xingyun waited for a few minutes. “Not taking the bait?” she muttered with slight regret. She knew this place like the back of her hand and had laid out killing methods all over this place capable of dealing with Third Class Emperors.

Mo XIngyun gazed toward the center, still longing for what was there. She took a deep breath to calm down and rearrange her plan.

‘If I want to prove the Dao again, I need a method to deal with these Nine Extremity people.’ Her mind raced, thinking about the different possibilities. ‘I need a powerful magical weapon on par with them.’

Heavenly Dao had strict rules on using foreign aid for the Heaven Will Battle. For example, participants could not use a Dao Ancestor level puppet to compete or a talisman on that level. Mo Xingyun knew that in the Beginning Emperor Era, Heaven Chosens could not even use Emperor Weapons in their battles in the Beginning Emperor Era. 

However, she also knew a loophole to this rule: she could use foreign as long as she refined it herself. For example, if a Weapon Refiner created an Immortal Weapon, they can use the weapon during their Heaven Will Battle. And that was exactly her plan.

Mo Xingyun began to use the surrounding formation to gather and condense the power of Devour in the area. She planned to create a weapon on par with 5-Root Dao Ancestor before using it at an opportune time when both Di Tian and Wang Wei were at their weakest. And her Alliance is to have enough cannon fodder to weaken these two or as sacrifice when needed.

…

Wang Wei returned to the sect. He wanted to hunt down many of the new Heaven Chosens that had recently risen since he suspected many were spies of the upper dimension. Regrettably, these people had excellent methods of hiding themselves from divination, preventing him from rooting out the traitors from the innocent.

And he could not mindlessly slaughter them until he found the traitors since that would affect his Era Son Title. Of course, he would not give up so easily. Since he could not divine their identity, he would use his intelligence network to find who he was looking for.

He contacted Wang Ju as soon as he returned home to get information from her.

“How is it? Did you identify anyone?”

“Yes and no. We have identified a few people who we could label as small fish,” she explained. “As for the truly important individuals, we only have one suspect.” She showed him a picture using an Image Talisman.

It was a picture of a young man with dark eyes with no pupils or iris and a flame mark on his forehead.

“Yu Zhu, a member of the Soul Race.”
