With Yan Chen's power, Wang Wei broke the void and teleported to the Dao Opening Sect. Unfortunately, there was an accident mid-way through. Both Wang Wei and Yan Chen found their teleportation interrupted and landed on a desert with sands as far as the eye could see.
Soon afterward, the surrounding void trembled, and the world seemed to change. Before Yan Chen could react, he disappeared from Wang Wei's sight, nowhere to be seen.
As for Wang Wei, he was calmed during the entire situation; he even had a knowing smile on his face. He looked into the void in a direction. There, he saw Yan Chen in a separate space surrounded by stars.
The latter was using his Dharma Body to attack the surroundings in an attempt to destroy whatever was blocking him and prevent him from protecting his Young Master.
After checking that Yan Chen was alright, Wang Wei looked in another direction and said: "Come out. I know you are here.."
"Oh, and how could you possibly do that," replied a voice, who soon revealed to be Bai Han, the former headmaster of the Enlightening Emperor Academy.
"I had a premonition that misfortune would befall me today. However, my prediction also stated that the level of danger is middle to low. And if I play my cards right, I might even benefit from it."
"I've always admired your confidence," replied Bai Han with a sneer. "However, it seems that you do not understand the predicament you're in. I spent the past 200 years setting up a Supreme Tier formation in the surrounding area. And it was not just a normal formation.
"With it, I can keep Yan Chen occupied for more than an hour. As for the Dao Opening Sect, given your status and how much they care about you, it will take them about ten minutes to realize that something is wrong, five minutes to locate this area and another five minutes to break the formation.
"Meaning I have 20 minutes to kill you!"
"I guess I'm being underestimated." Wang Wei secretly shook his head. Bai Han had the time and opportunity to set up such a powerful formation, and yet, he chose an isolating one instead of a killing one.
'He probably wanted to kill me personally, or his mind is already deeply affected by the Qi of Calamity.'
"I'm curious, what drove you to do something so extreme?" asked Wang Wei, still with his calm demeanor.
"There is no need to try to buy time. You are too much of a threat to the Academy, and I have to get rid of you--otherwise, we will suffer in the future."
Immediately, Bai Han used his Domain and instantly controlled the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the surrounding area. As for Wang Wei, he felt a direct pressure on his soul and spirit, on top of that, he could not use his origin essence; meaning, he could not use any of his cultivation techniques--except for his fleshly body.
Without hesitation, a vision manifested behind Wang Wei. One ability that some cultivators in the Divine Body have is Visions; these visions are based on each individual's wishes and desires, and they have the ability to amplify their powers.
Nevertheless, only truly talented individuals can have their own visions. Although people with Heavenly Physiques or any physique for that matter have a higher chance of gaining one, however, that's not guaranteed.
A perfect example of that is Han Li. Although he had a Heavenly Physique, he did not have a vision.
Of Course, Wang Wei did not show his vision merely because of the amplification abilities, but because his vision was unique: it was fused with his Young Emperor's Vision.
So, the moment that it appeared, he activated his Pseudo-Domain ability, hoping to reduce Bai Han's strength by half. Unfortunately, he was not completely successful. The ability only reduced Bai Hai's strength by 15%.
Despite this, Wang Wei was still satisfied as his main objective was achieved. Using the Pseudo-Domain, he was able to block most of the power of Bai Han's True Domain.
Feeling the regained control over his origin essence, Wang Wei was ready for the next battle. As for Bai Han, his face became ugly, then he said: "I was right. You are a much bigger threat than anticipated."
He waved his hand in the air as he said: "Pen of Righteousness!"
A giant golden brushed pen appeared in the sky. Then, the pen wrote the character for "flame". The character was beautiful, majestic, and holy. Soon after that, countless golden flames covered the sky, heading towards Wang Wei; they seemed to want to burn him and purify his soul.
All these things happened in a blink of an eye. As for Wang Wei, after seeing this attack, he only muttered: "Intangible Fate!"
Boom!
Bai Han's attack landed. The surrounding few kilometers were instantly ravaged beyond repair. The sand in the desert turned into glass, and a weird golden light could be seen everywhere.
As for Wang Wei, he was floating in the air, perfectly fine; not a single scratch could be seen on him or his clothes.
Bai Han squinted his eyes after seeing this, 'Fate is invisible and intangible, so he is also invisible and intangible.' Then, he sneered. 'We both have strong Karma connecting us, so you cannot escape.'
He waved his hand and the golden pen wrote another character. This time, a large golden hand appeared, releasing a suppressing aura. Wang Wei was familiar with his aura as it was similar to his [Dragon-Sovereign Fist], which had the ability to suppress someone.
As such, the closer the golden came to him, the more difficult it became to move, to breathe, and even his thoughts became a little sluggish. Knowing the danger he was in, Wang Wei immediately used a new technique:
[Fate Escape]
If someone was fast enough to escape the entanglement, machination, and providence of Fate, how fast would they be?
Turning into a grey light, Wang Wei disappeared from the golden hand and appeared next to Bai Han. Without hesitation or pause, he threw a punch, this time using a technique from the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
[Desolate-God Fist]
A colossal fist with bronze skin manifested from Wang Wei. The aura of that hand was wild, untamed, and bestial. It gave the feeling that it would tear everything between Heaven and Earth with its bare hands.
The surrounding area became bleak, the sand that was heated into glass turned into a dark-grey and lifeless state, the sunny sky turned into gloomy, dark, and ominous clouds.
Everything became desolate.
Boom!
The bronze hand hit Bai Han with tremendous force. However, this attack did not do any damage whatsoever. On the other hand, the shockwave of the attack forced Wang Wei to distance himself from Bai Han.
Squinting his eyes, Wang Wei thought to himself: 'He wrapped himself with his Domain, thus completely protecting himself from my attack. I did not know that Domains could be used that way.
'If this was any normal Saint--even a Peak Saint--this attack would have done a great deal of damage to them, yet it was futile against him. Well, I should expect this, after all, according to my father, Bai Han was only second to him in terms of strength in his generation.'
Despite knowing this, he did not stop. He turned into a grey light and rushed towards Bai Han. He would attack in one direction, then appear on the other side of him and attack again. Countless versions or shadows of Wang Wei could be seen around Bai Han, attacking together.
As for the former headmaster, he was intact with a frown on his face.
'His speed has surpassed light--which should be impossible. After studying him, one of the conclusions I made was the fact that his speed was one of his flaws.
'Compared to his other overwhelming attributes, his speed was rather common. This was probably because he did not fit with the [Rainbow Escape Art]. But now, he must have used the power of Fate to create his own speed-related technique.'
Bai Han became more serious after figuring this out. Typically speaking, only a few talented individuals in the Primordial Spirit Realm can reach close to the sub-light speed, and only talented Void Shattering Realm cultivators can use the power of Law to achieve the speed of light.
As for being faster than light, only Saint Realm True Person can do so. The reason is that in their Domains, Saints are essentially Gods and can ignore the limits of the natural world.
In their Domains, the Laws are no longer governed by Heavenly Dao, but by their own will and desire. Although it is only a short area compared to the rest of the world, and the duration is usually based on their origin essence and soul strength, it was still an amazing feat.
"It seems that no matter how much of a threat I thought you were, I still underestimated you," muttered Bai Han. "It's time for me to take this fight more seriously."
