Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

While all the teachers were quiet and somber, their eyes could not remove from one particular participant that actually took part in the Elimination Round.

It was a beautiful woman with red hair and eyes. However, unlike Su Ya’s red hair that was lighter than a rose, her redness was darker than blood. And it was not just her hair.

She even wore a red hanfu and had a bloody aura surrounding her. In this aura, anyone could see the scream of all the people she had killed, and there were many of them; too many to count.

Although she had a beautiful face, there was a permanent evil smirk on the corner of her mouth, which made her both very attractive and scare at the same time.

This participant was called Mo Xingyun, and she was the descendant of the Mo family.

After a brief silence in the Academy’s booth, one teacher then responded: "According to the rules, she has every right to participate in the tournament."

The person who previously spoke against Mi Xingyun then said back:

"It is obvious that she has awakened the Heaven Devouring Physiques, aren’t any of you worried that she will follow in her ancestor’s footsteps?"

The room once again became silent, and this time, many people actually had an ugly look on their faces as they remembered something unpleasant.

One teacher then said after a brief hesitation: "This generation, there is a high chance that an Eternal Emperor will be born, and if she manages to be the final winner, then the Mo family will have two Eternal Emperors in their lineage--just like the Dao Opening Sect."

"Shut up," screamed one teacher. "In the last Era, there was only one Eternal Emperor, and it was the founder of our Academy, Emperor Kong."

This time the mood of most of the teachers was disturbed after hearing this, as this involved the biggest secrets of the Academy.

In the last Era, there were two Eternal Emperors--which was the first such a thing to happen in the Myriad Emperor World since the Ancient Emperor Era.

One of them was Emperor Kong, while the other was from the Mo family. And he was called the Heaven Devour Emperor.

The Heaven Devour Emperor was a nightmare for all living beings in this world. As a Devil Cultivator who only cared about pursuing power and strength, adding on top of that being an Eternal Emperor--the highest echelon among Great Emperors--he was a disaster to the world.

After proving the Dao, he did not preach to the world or make any contribution. As a matter of fact, he did not try to help his clan or conquer the world. Instead, he did only one thing: try to swallow the world.

To be precise, swallow the source of the world. As a person who cultivated the Dao of Devour, he followed the path of swallowing everything between Heaven and Earth.

And the source of the world was the highest form of energy existing in the Endless Void. It is the thing that determines the grade of a world.

For example, after swallowing most of the World Source of the Myriad Emperor World, the entire world entered the Age of Dao End.

This age took place between the Middle Emperor Era and the New Emperor Era. For more than 100 generations (a couple hundred million of years) there was no Heaven Will, hence to no immortality in this world.

During that period of time, the highest level of cultivation that cultivators can reach was actually the Supreme Realm. And even then, that was extremely difficult as only a few talented ones could do so.

Since there was no Heaven Will, there was no Great Emperor. Since there was no Great Emperor, there was no Immortal Venerable or Dao Ancestor. During that age of despair, many cultivators tried to find an alternate way to immortality, but they all failed. In the end, many of them were forced to leave for another World Community in an attempt to fight for the Heaven Will Battle there. However, no one ever returned--even as a Great Emperor.

Other people sealed themselves in Blood Stones in order to wake up in another generation when the Heaven Will appeared again. At that time, many people did not know whether the world would ever recover and whether the Heaven Will would appear again.

As for the Heaven Devour Emperor, the only reason that he did not completely destroy the world was because of the intervention of Heavenly Dao.

At first, it used Divine Punishment Thunder, but it was no use to a powerful Eternal Emperor. Then, both the [Human-Preservation Array] and the [Demon Preservation Array] were activated by both Heavenly Dao and all the Sleeping Immortal Venerable and Dao Ancestors. But it was also no use.

Many other methods were used to no avail. In the end, Heavenly Dao asked all the Emperor Lineages in the world permission to use their Emperor Formations and Artifacts.

By Combining them together, Heavenly Dao was able to exile the Heaven Devouring Emperor from the Endless Void. This guy was so powerful that he could only be exiled somewhere where he could not come back.

Although most people did not know where he was exiled to, they were lucky that he never returned.

As for the reason that the Emperor Enlightening Academy has such animosity against his descendants was because they suffered the most during that experience.

For once, the Heaven Devour Emperor was actually a member of the Academy--despite being a member of the Mo family. Due to some complications, he was not appreciated by the family in his early years, so he joined the Academy in his early years.

Although later on he was reconciled with the Mo family after becoming powerful, many people still believe that he was a member of the Academy. At one point, he was even considered a candidate to be the headmaster.

However, the Heaven Devouring Emperor was a true Devil cultivator, so he did not care about the fact that the Academy took him in when he was at his lowest. He knew that with his background, the chances of him becoming the headmaster was very slim.

On the other hand, all he needed was to be powerful in order to become the Patriarch of the Mo family, hence getting access to all their resources. So, he left without much hesitation.

However, it was not proven how cold heart this guy was until he proved the Dao and became an Emperor.

At that time, the de facto leader of the entire world and the resistance against him was the Academy instead of the Dao Opening Sect. At that time, the Era was still called the Academy Enlightening Era, and there were many rumors that the Dao Opening was cursed and would not produce any Emperors ever again in their lifetimes.

Adding to that, the patriarch of that time--which was from the Yan family--was a very cautious woman, so she decided to be very low key. A wise decision that actually preserved the strength of the sect.

As for the Academy, during their battle against the Heaven Devour Emperor, they suffered such a great loss that their foundations were almost destroyed. As a matter of fact, the Academy was almost destroyed at the hand of the Emperor.

Luckily for them, they managed to exiled him with the aid of Heavenly Dao, and were rewarded a great deal of Qi Luck that allowed them to survive the Age of Dao End and recuperate during the early stage of the New Emperor Era.

In the aftermath of what occurred, the Academy and many places in the world, many people refused to acknowledge the Heaven Devour Emperor’s status as an Eternal Emperor--even though their acknowledgement meant nothing. The position of Eternal Emperor is not something that a bunch of mortals can decide.

In the eyes of Great Emperors, even a Supreme Realm True Monarch is nothing but a mortal that can live for a few millions years. They themselves did not have the right to decide whether a person was an Eternal Emperor, let alone these weak cultivators that will eventually die with the passage of time. Heck, even Heavenly Dao cannot decide such a thing.

...

After a teacher scolded the person that said the previous words, headmaster Bai Han finally spoke: "You guys know that this topic is a taboo in the Academy, so do not mention it again.

"As for Mo Xingyun, even if she has the Heaven Devour Physique, without the proper scriptures, she is not much of a threat as her ancestor. Not to mention that this generation is full of Heaven-Defying genius."

All the teachers nodded after sighing melancholy to themselves, then they did not say another words.

As a matter of fact, the true secret of the Academy was not what the Heaven Devour Emperor did to them. No, the whole world already knew of this history.

The true secret revolved around the fact that there were two Eternal Emperors in the last Era. As a matter of fact, Emperor Kong was not a true Eternal, but a false one.

The reason that he is considered a false Eternal Emperor was because he was so close to reaching that level, that echelon, but he did not succeed--at least not on his own.

Due to all his contributions he made to the Myriad Emperor World, he was given a little help or boost to reach the level of an Eternal Emperor by Heavenly Dao through merits.

A few Eternal Emperors refused to accept Emperor Kong as their own, while the others did not really care. As for other Great Emperors, they did not dare to say anything in front of him as his strength was a real Eternal Emperor.

As for the Academy, only the truly trusted teachers were privy to this information, and they were sworn to so many oaths and binding contracts never to reveal such a secret--otherwise a fate worse than death awaits them.

And of course, headmaster Bai Han is the person who has the most knowledge regarding this topic as he is Emperor Kong’s own son--making him an Emperor Offspring.
