"Take the troops to go as far as possible," ordered Wang Wei with a severe tone before flying in the southwest direction before landing. He saw Yi Lianchang carrying one soldier. After noticing him, the latter stopped before throwing the soldier away.
Wang Wei observed Yi Lianchang closer than before and quickly realized the eerie atmosphere around the latter was more intense than before. Furthermore, he even felt a sense of dread that danger, or to be precise, death, lood over him.
"You're here for ?" he asked.
"Of course," replied Yi Lianchang, licking his lips.
"Interesting, treating as prey," comnted Wang Wei. "I hope you're not all bark and no bite."
"You'll know."
Bang!
Wang Wei instantly appeared before him and punched him, exploding his body and sending dark green blood flying in all directions. Then, he instinctively flew backward to avoid the falling blood. He looked at his hand and saw a small burning mark.
'Corrosive blood?'
The Dark green blood stopped dropping and moved as if they had a Will of their own. They condensed into a shape, but it was not a human form. It was a giant squid fifty ters tall with more than a hundred tentacles.
Then, sothing occurred that made Wang Wei squint his eyes. Nurous eyes suddenly appeared all over the squid's body, giving it a horror-like appearance. Even the aura surrounding him beca eerie or bizarre.
'It couldn't it be?' He did not want to acknowledge what he was thinking.
[Eyes of Terror]
All Yi Lianchang's eyes shone brightly as they gazed at Wang Wei, who imdiately felt a weird power invading his soul, trying to affect his state of mind or insanity, to be precise.
'It is.' He thought before manifesting his Dharma Body and borrowing the power of his Incarnations, he would go all out for this battle to kill his opponent as quickly as possible.
[Destruction Cannon]
The Dharma Body opened its mouth to fire a red an containing the Dao of Destruction; the intent was to eradicate this thing on an atomic level, not leaving a single piece of his flesh and blood intact.
[Eye of Space-Ti]
A tunnel containing the power of Space-Ti manifested before Yi Lianchang to transfer the attack away. Unfortunately, the destructive beam could destroy space-ti, so the tunnel only lasted a few seconds before the beam hit him. Oddly though, only half of the squid's body was destroyed.
Wang Wei reacted in ti and appeared above the intact half. He gathered all the power of his fleshly body and punched Yi Lianchang.
Duk!
Nothing happened, not even shockwaves from the force of his attack.
'Immunity to blunt force? This guy is the enemy of pure True Power Dao cultivator.' If a person only cultivated their fleshly body and relied on brute force to fight, Yi Lianchang would be a nightmare for them.
'Immunity? We'll see about that,' thought Wang Wei with a sneer.
[Conceptual Punch]
Duk! Duk! Duk! Bang!
He punched the second half millions of tis in less than an instant before it exploded into dust. The [12 Zodiac Technique] he acquired from Gu Xuan's trial had a few interesting zodiacs, and the one most interesting was the [Dragon Zodiac]. Wang Wei learned a technique called [Conceptual Punch] that allowed him to use his pure physical force to attack concepts.
For example, he could punch 'death' or 'creation' with this technique. And in the case of Yi Lianchang's case, he hit the latter's immunity. And since he was more powerful than him, he could overwhelm him into bypassing such powerful immunity.
According to Wang Wei, this technique has a lot of potential–especially if, one day, he could use it to destroy the eternal attribute of Great Emperors and even Eternal Emperors; it would an he could kill these entities without the need for Dao Will.
Wang Wei's actions were swift, decisive and happened in less than a nanosecond. However, he knew the battle was not concluded. He watched as Yi Lianchang's body regenerated.
'Even my Duyi Realm had no effect.'
"You should understand by now," said Yi Lianchang. "I'm immortal. And even though I'm not as powerful as you, I can still wear you down–no matter how long it takes–before I hunt you down."
Wang Wei ignored him before attacking again. His fist moved so fast, leaving shadows and afterimages. He left an incalculable number of holes in the latter's body and soul.
'My Conceptual Punch does not work for his Immortality.'
[Nightmare World]
Yi Lianchang went on the offensive by changing the surrounding into a hellscape and manifesting countless cosmic horrors. In this place, even a 5-Root Dao Ancestor would have trouble keeping their insanity.
However, who was Wang Wei? A man whose Willpower is beyond even his comprehension. Without a change in his face, he manifested a golden light that instantly extinguished this nightmare world.
Subsequently, the power of Space-Ti flashed in his eyes. Then, he saw a young mber of the Deep Squid race who got caught by an unpredictable and turbulent current and ended up deep at the bottom of the ocean. And from there, he had an encounter that changed him for his entire life.
'I cannot change his past or fate to make it so that he never had this power.' This was his plan to kill Yi Lianchang, but it failed. He waved his hand to cover the sky with nurous runes, which then turned into a sphere to seal the squid.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yi Lianchang exploded his body over and over to generate enough power to break the seal, taking full advantage of his immunity.
"Hehehe, do you want to know sothing interesting," laughed Yi Lianchang. "I am not like these rats from the upper dinsion. My immortality is absolute and will work during the final battle. Hehehe."
Wang Wei created a black energy ball in his hand with the power of destruction and annihilated him once again. Then, his Dharma Body floated in the air while sitting cross-legged. It mobilized the Dao of Karma as it searched for the nurous threads connected to Yi Lianchang.
While the main body continued to annihilate Yi Lianchang to see if there was a limit or flaw to his ability, the Dharma Body finally found the thread. Unfortunately, soone or sothing else also discovered him.
Wang Wei found his mind in an unknown place. At first, nothing was distinguishable until he saw an enormous creature looking at him from above. It was a humanoid creature with a squid for a face, wings, and claws. He could not see everything else clearly besides the creature's face. Imdiately, he knew what he faced:
"One of the 13 Taboos, the Old Ones, the Great Drear, The Sleeping One, Cthulhu."
Fear was about to overwhelm Wang Wei when his intuition told him being afraid was the last thing he needed to do. Instead, he needed to directly face this mighty being without a hint of timidity.
And that's exactly what he did. He looked directly into Cthulhu's eyes, ignoring the murmurs that could probably drive any Great Emperors and even Empyreans to madness.
As Wang Wei looked directly into the creature's eyes, he began to notice things he previously did not. For example, Cthulhu had chains on its body, preventing its mobility. And the power he sensed from these chains seed scarier than the creature itself.
After what felt like an eternity, Wang Wei's vision ended and returned to reality. Without hesitation, he instinctively gathered his Willpower and Duyi Realm and perfectly fused them. Then, he cut the Karmic Connection between Yi Lianchang and Cthulhu.
"What the hell is going on? Ct–" he did not say the na. He once asked Wu Hong if there were other civilizations like western magic or based on other races or ethnicity in other Chaos Worlds. And she told him they did not exist in the Chaos Universe. And Earth is probably the only place in the entire universe with races or ethnicity, making it a special place that even she did not know the secret to.
But Cthulhu is western mythology and should not exist.
'No, that's not important,' thought Wang Wei as his mind began to work rapidly now that he had managed to calm down. 'In Lovecraftian Myths, Cthulhu and the Old Gods are often portrayed as creatures outside of space and ti. They are so powerful that they can only interact in the world through clones or incarnations.
'What if the one I saw was just a clone of the real Cthulhu? By that logic, the real body would exist outside of the Chaos Universe; it would exist in Hongng. This information confirms my theory there are other Chaos Universes besides this one.'
Wang Wei's eyes lit up as he felt this information might beco crucial to him in the latter part of his cultivation. He exhaled a deep breath out.
'Why am I drawn to all these taboos? I really hate this part about being a protagonist.' With how much trouble he seed to attract, Wang Wei accepted his fate as a protagonist.
"What have you done?" yelled Yi Lianchang in hysteria.
