Di Tian felt an uncontrollable anger rise from deep in his heart after that bastard used his own words against him. Although he knew the latter did it on purpose to rile him up, he could not help it.
Back then, that cocky little bastard was nothing but an ant struggling to survive before him. But now, he could look and talk to him with contempt and disdain.
Di Tian took a deep breath to calm down. He focused on removing all distracting thoughts, giving all his attention to this battle. The first thing he did was forcibly close the wound on his chest, but it did not mean he was healed.
'The Dao Will Knot Technique,' thought Di Tian as he felt his opponent's Duyi Realm inside his body. There are many uses or applications of the Dao Will and, in turn, the Duyi Realm.
And one of the categories of these applications is how to prevent the enemy from removing the Will from their bodies. And that's where the Knotting Technique originated from.
By condensing the Dao Will into a shape similar to a knot, it makes it ten times to a hundred times more challenging to remove it.
'Dao Will is inherently difficult to control, let alone the more rigid Duyi Realm. Even our current Pseudo Dao Will should be difficult to use such a technique, yet his was flawless.
'Furthermore, knowledge about the Duyi Realm has almost become extinct in this era. How did he recreate them? Is his talent so much different than mine?'
For the first time in a long time, Di Tian felt resentful. His talent was amongst the best–even in his era, which was full of geniuses. However, compared to monsters like Empress Wu and Wang Wei, he can only feel despair.
'No, something is not right,' he thought, and his mind became clearer. 'That bastard left a spiritual hint on me to secretly influence my mind.'
He understood that the previous tactic and injury were not simply to weaken him. His opponent was a mastermind tactician, and any of his actions will have countless effects, many unforeseen or undetectable.
All these thoughts flashed in Di Tian's mind in less than a nanosecond. Then, he saw Wang Wei's smirking face rushing toward him, his fighting aura and bloodlust at an all-time high.
Boom!
Wang Wei's fist, boosted by the power of his Pseudo Dao Will, clashed with Di Tian's cross arm, also protected by his Pseudo Dao Will. And the result was that the ancient powerhouse was sent a few dozen meters away, with his bone more painful than it had ever been.
'His fleshly body is more powerful than me, by at least 6 or 7 Fiendgod Force. And adding his more subtle control of his Dao Will, my bones won't last long in a direct confrontation.'
Di Tian's mind once again became turbulent. How long did it take him to reach such a level? The knowledge from 10 lives, and cultivating for 9. He spent years training, learning, struggling, and innovating before having today's achievement.
And yet, in one short generation, someone else caught on with him and surpassed him.
"Fate is really unfair, isn't it?" suddenly said Wang Wei, who seemed capable of reading his mind.
Bang!
The space of the four quadrants shook and twisted as Wang Wei's kick was like an unparalleled ax slashing Primordial Chaos into two. Then, his attack was followed by a subtle sound of cracking.
'By bones are cracked,' thought Di Tian, who managed to reign in his thoughts. 'Not only is his fleshly body and Dao Will higher than mine, but even his control over his body is also higher.'
His current achievement is that he can control every atom and subatomic particle of his body. However, from those two attacks, he sensed Wang Wei had reached another realm; a realm where he could control his [Essence], which is the source of the flesh, just like [Spirit] is for the soul, and [Qi] is for all energy between Heaven and Earth.
Di Tian summarized all his opponent's abilities while coming up with ways or methods to deal with them. During such a short period, his bones had already healed to their perfect state.
After his injury, he already knew how to deal with his opponent–prevent the latter's Pseudo Dao Will from entering his body and deactivating his regenerating factor.
"I have to say, you are much weaker than I anticipated," said Wang Wei while shaking his head. "I'm quite disappointed."
"And you have allowed such short success to get to your head."
