[Rain Domain]
Old Man Dai's reaction was slightly faster than Wang Wei and took the initiative. The void was suddenly filled with raindrops that Old Man Dai controlled, and he unleashed them on his opponent. Wang Wei squinted his eyes as he realized each of those drops contained enough force/power to do severe damage to any peak Indestructible Paragon with any immunity to Power Dao.
However, Wang Wei himself was not safe because he detected a very subtle infusion of Dao Will in each of the drops. Wang Wei waved his hand to create a universe that swallowed these raindrops. However, they were so powerful that his universe did not last a second, and that's despite the fact he boosted their defense with his True Will.
Wang Wei reacted by replicating his opponent's technique. However, the rain he condensed was from his Death Dao, aning they were death drops. His plan was simple — use numbers to combat numbers. Unfortunately, although he had the right mindset, he underestimated his opponent's ability.
'His Dao Will application might be even better than mine,' Wang Wei theorized. It made sense, given how long Old Man Dai has been living and that he might have received formal training from a master. Wang Wei teleported to avoid the rain, but even that was pointless.
The rain contained the ubiquitous characteristic; in other words, this technique functioned under the sa principle, just like people could not avoid it unless they built shelter. A few drops of rain touched Wang Wei's body, leaving minor shallow cuts that healed instantly.
Wang Wei summoned a ti shield around his body, and it could speed up ti, forcing the raindrops to age billions of years before reaching him. This move took him so ti to breathe, so he went on the offensive. He condensed a thunder spear that he threw with ungodly strength.
Old Man Dai was wise, knowing that using water to block this attack was unwise. So, he gathered his rain to make water, which he then changed into ice. With an ice spear in his hand, he casually pushed the thunder spear to the side.
Their speed was great, but he also reacted in ti, blocking 90% of them. His Ti Shield should have dealt with the remaining ten percent, but these raindrops contained the power of ti and bypassed his defense. He suddenly rembered that Paragons had a much easier ti traveling through the River of Ti; thus, it was common for their techniques or skills to touch on Ti Dao.
Wang Wei suddenly exchanged position with the spear, placing himself directly next to Old Man Dai. He did not hesitate and went for a punch full of the power of death. The old man exploded, but not into a pool of blood, but into countless raindrops, which rushed toward Wang Wei.

After bypassing his defense, the raindrops also broke through his True Will. The enemy's Dao Will was sharp, like a great swordsman capable of cutting through defenses. Tiny holes appeared on Wang Wei's body, but he reacted swiftly. He used a True Will application that copied a magnet to remove Old Man Dai's Dao Will from his body.
'He really is much better than ,' Wang Wei thought. Such news was good and bad. The good news is he had soone to learn from. The bad news is he probably will suffer in this battle, which was against his goal of venting his frustration on this old man.
'I can't allow this,' Wang Wei thought, so he decided to take a page from Mongke's book. Since he lost skill-wise, he would make up with numbers or quantities. Wang Wei no longer hesitated and used the technique he created after his fight with Mongke. Although it was a prototype, it would have to do for now.
[Fate Will]
A projection of the River of Fate condensed above his head. Then, Wang Wei gathered the willpower of the trillions upon trillions of mortals that fate had absolute control over, from ancient to modern tis, alive and dead — and condensed them into a will, which he fused with his True Will.
'There are indeed a few kinks,' Wang Wei thought, as he controlled himself not to hear the murmur, complain, and mories of all the beings he took Willpower from.
"Want to use quantity to beat quality?" Old Man Dai asked with a smirk. "Well, two can play that ga." His body released a mighty, noble, and beautiful will that can be described as infinite — as boundless.
"Paragon's Will?" Wang Wei asked incredulously. "How is that possible? You failed to beco a Boundless Paragon, so how did you acquire a Paragon Will? Fortunate Encounter? Or soone gave it to you?"
Wang Wei suddenly paused as he figured sothing out. "Your master — is he a Boundless Paragon?"
"As expected, you imdiately figured it out," Old Man Dai did not deny it. The essence of their Gou Dao is survival, so walking the Eternal Path was a requirent. Their master succeeded until the end, but Old Man Dai and his junior brother failed at the [Boundless] mark.
Wang Wei sighed. Empyreans can train their True Avatars to be in the sa cultivation realm as them so they don't have to worry about experiencing the long, tedious process of returning to their peak. anwhile, Boundless Paragons can cultivate Paragon True Avatar.
However, they also have another ability — they can stack the Dao Will of their True Avatars, making their Dao Will leagues more potent than the Empyrean Realm. Due to incredible change, the Dao Will was called Paragon Will; it's another way to distinguish from False Boundless like Old Man Dai, who still has a Dao Will.
"So?" Old Man Dai asked, not hiding his smirk. "Do you still want to continue?" He had never used his Paragon Will out of fear the parasites would increase his level of threat, whcih would then lead to them puting more emphasis on eliminating him. However, this battle was an excellent opportunity.
Wang Wei's lips twitched. As soon as Old Man Dai used a Paragon Will, he knew he could not win. It didn't matter if it was not his power and from an artifact. The sheer difference between those two power would an Wang Wei had no chance, and that's not even taking into account his lack of skill compared to Old Man Dai.
"Why not?" Wang Wei replied as he exhaled to calm down. "As I said. This is a learning experience. Your new strengths only an a great opportunity for growth."
Wang Wei's fighting intent did not reduce in the slightest; on the contrary, it intensified. Without hesitation, he rushed toward his opponent to confront him. A raindrop rushed into his head, and his Danger Sense went haywire. He dodged, but the drop penetrated his shoulder.
Wang Wei was injured, and it was a genuine injury. For the first ti since becoming an Empyrean, his defense failed him. Wang Wei reacted decisively by isolating the Paragon Will before blowing his shoulder off. However, the thing did not regenerate due to the residual power remaining. Luckily, such a minor injury was not enough to stop Wang Wei.
He fought ruthlessly with Old Man Dai for a hundred years before stopping. Wang Wei looked terrible. He had a massive hole in his abdon, showing his ribs — which were missing a few bones. His left arm only had the forearm, while his right hand was missing his skin and muscle. His legs had dozens of holes, and the right side of his face was also gone.
anwhile, Old Man Dai looked the sa, without even a scratch. This did not an Wang Wei did not hit him even once. On the contrary, Wang Wei landed many decent hits during this long battle. Sadly, Old Man Dai's Paragon Will was too overwhelming, aning he could regenerate since Wang Wei's True Will was basically useless.
"Had enough?"
"Yes," Wang Wei nodded.
Old Man Dai secretly sighed in relief. It was terrifying how much this man stole his technique in this short period. He reckoned that if they kept fighting, it would only take him ten thousand years to learn all his Dao Will Skills – skills he spent billions of Yuan Epochs honing and mastering.
"Are you sure?" Old Man Dai asked, trying to pretend.
"It's fine," Wang Wei replied casually. He had analyzed Old Man Dai enough to recreate all his abilities with his Dream Combat Technique.
"As you wish," Old Man Dai nodded, showing his high deanor as an old and powerful cultivator. Wang Wei ignored the latter's petty behavior and asked, "Can you remove your Paragon Will's influence?"
"Oh, no problem."
Wang Wei's body instantly regenerated to its normal state. He condensed a brand new white and purple robe, thus returning to his peak handso state.
"I must thank you," Wang Wei said. Although he lost the battle paved the way for his future while saving him a lot of ti.
"That's no problem," Old Man Dai said proudly.
"Well, I'm leaving," Wang Wei continued. "Even though you junior brother will reject , I wish you would still tell him of my offer."
"No problem. But as I said, don't hold your breath."
Wang Wei nodded before teleporting away.
