Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 916: Overwhelming Showof Force

A stifling air of oppression and power engulfed the Shattered World Moon and the surrounding Dark Void. The chaotic disruptions of fixed space caused by violent collisions of mystic power and spiritual spells kept unfolding, yet no no disturbances were generated. The fighting had ceased. All focus was on the new arrivals, and those that had launched their fierce, aggressively malicious attacks towards Highlord Worldbreaker, no, World Breaker Soul Queen had halted.

Each of these arrivals was shockingly terrifying, their auras unordinary, and their might as imposing as monarchs of the world.

The first to be noticed, the one with the most terrifying aura, resembling a ruler, was none other than the Grand Knight of Neo-Dawn, the Alchemic Knight of the enigmatic and talented Neo-Dawn Ascendant Emperor—Wu Yu! The glacial gleam in his eyes was devastatingly terrifying to witness, imbuing fear and despair in hearts and minds!

Next up was a man that seemed to conquer the elements, and every action of his gave birth to a sense of naturalism akin to a planet. Those eyes of his, nine-colored, glinted with spiritual images of the nine elements. He stood there with his arms folded, his eyes narrowed, and those Mystic Aura seething—the Guardian of the Elements, Han Yuhei!

Between these two titans, a middle-aged woman with impeccable skin, eyes as fathomless and peerless as the ocean, and a uniquely attractive mature charm firmly stood. She held a scepter with nine miniaturized Solar Stars orbiting the enlarged, spherical tip. At the moment, most of the Solar Stars had glowing shadows of human-like images within. She was none other than the wanted, hunted, and rumored to be traitorous Soul Rising Saint—Faye Liying!

These three figures took the lead; their intermixed auras were enough for most ordinary Earthly Saints to freeze in abject fear. However, they werenʼt the only ones, with other Earthly Saints amplifying their appearance!

They were outstanding beauties, talented in their youths, powerful at their peak, and all achieved absurdly high statuses in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region!

A homely middle-aged woman, yet she wore soft armor, tight-fitting that served as a contrast to her normal gentle and reassuring demeanor. The woman hefted a golden Bo staff with heavy, blunted ends at both sides. She had eyes blazing with Battle Intent, a rarity for a merchant of the largest business in the Aeternal Sky Starfield—First Branch Manager of the Golden Life Pavilion, Sun Li!

A woman with bright chestnut-colored eyes, a sandy warm ivory complexion, and a set of facial features that lent her a strong sense of authority, stability, and elegance. Her tall, slender physique clad in medium-sized metallic armor, wielding an enlarged folding fan that almost rivaled her tall stature, gave her an imposing demeanor befitting a ruler of a starfield—the United Source Starfieldʼs Queen, Lady Clearwind!

The last of the six was a dark-grey-haired middle-aged woman with a noble grace, seemingly possessing endless confidence. She sported fiery-red robes, her shoulders were dancing with gorgeous flames, and her hair had streaks of red highlights—Hexaflame Starfieldʼs Earthly Saint, Huoyan Liulan!

Beneath these six figures was a dragonhead helmet wearing Earthly Saint, his aura strangely undefined. While they had an aura of an Earthly Saint, their body felt more like an Incarnation formed from mortal-grade energies. Despite that, his power was terrifying, and behind him was a vast army of a thousand Ascended beings!

However, they, too, felt strange. But, they unmistakably were Ascended beings with wisps of Mysticism permeating throughout their bodies!

War Commander Zhan Zheng, otherwise known as Legion Commander of 9,999 Spirits of War, was leading this thousand! With every breath of these Ascended beings, it was as if a chant of raging war was being blasted through the Dark Void. They all innately emitted wisps of Battle Intent, Slaughter Intent, and various weapon-based Ethereal Intents!

How terrifying!

While they only had six Demi-Mortal Lords, a few dozen Soul of Mysticism cultivators, and mostly were composed of Mystic Star Phase soldiers, it still caused everyone present, even the six Earthly Saints, to briefly pause as they appeared, baffled by this elite, unified group of war that manifested seemingly out of nowhere!

Riding on the back of a majestic, blazing, and the epitome of beauty Fire Phoenix, Wei Wuyin was clad in his Mystic-World grade, Essence of War constructed, white-colored Gambeson. With a saber at his hip, his silver eyes emitting scintillating spiritual light, he was the clear leader of these existences!

”Kill those who resist; capture and seal those who surrender.” Wei Wuyinʼs coldly issued order reverberated throughout the Dark Void, instilling a sense of chill in the spines of all those who heard it!

Between the Shattered World Moon and the new arrivals, cloaked and masked figures were floating there, stunned and baffled by the outcome. Before they could react, other Earthly Saints had emerged outside!

An aged man with vibrant eyes, enriched with vitality and power, with an aura not one whit beneath the Grand Knight of Neo-Dawn, was situated outside the Ninestar Starfield. In fact, he seemed faintly superior! Clad in a taoist robe of gold and white, he carried the insignia of the Golden Life Pavilion. He maintained a faint amiable smile despite the raging killing intent within his eyes—Pavilion Master of the Golden Life Pavilion, Ma Zheng!

Accompanying him at the border were three Earthly Saints, they were observing him from hundreds of thousands of miles with a little bit of surprise.

These three were the foxy, exceptional Yang Chaoyue, the graceful and serene Tian Muyang, and the Grand Elder of the True Element Sect, Zhang Ziyi! They were all holding the same handseal, their mystic energies funneled towards Ma Zheng, who held a large silver cube with Mystic Runes etched on every inch of its surface.

The newly victorious Pavilion Master was channeling this external power, including his own, to empower the cube that soon seemed to bypass the innately passive spatial restrictive formations, sealing off the Shattered World Moon and tens of thousands of miles of its immediate area. Two globes of solid space formed, noticeable by all those within. One surrounding the Shattered World Moon itself in a protective shell and the other tens of thousands miles out, surrounding all of these Earthly Saints!

The space was sealed!

Tian Muyang had a weary smile on his face, channeling tremendous amounts of his mystic power towards Ma Zheng via a unique formation imprinted on his palm. ”To think the first request would be against Trueborn.” He didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry. The most insidious organization, with its fingers seemingly in every pot, was being acted against.

Furthermore, he didnʼt know until this very moment! Like the rest, they were Void Portalʼd just seconds prior. All that he knew and was told was that Wei Wuyin needed his mystic power to fuel a particular formation. He had initially thought it was an Alchemical Formation, yet it was a spatial-sealing formation!

Yang Chaoyue had a faint smile on her beautiful face; her mystic power was pumping out in copious amounts. She softly said, ”Weʼre not acting against Trueborn; weʼre providing energy.” She smartly worded. Tian Muyang could only chuckle in response.

In truth, this act of theirs, from the distance they were in, the power they invested, and the actions they were taking, were all navigating through dozens of Mystic Oaths towards the Ninestar Sainthall and Grand Cyclic Stellar Regionʼs Imperial Clan restrictions in a disgustingly impeccable fashion. Even he was baffled by the consideration that went into this plan. He didnʼt know how Wei Wuyin had calculated to this extent.

”This is certainly going to change the climate of our stellar region, haha.” Tian Muyang just couldnʼt hold back his shocked amusement. This was a declaration of war on Trueborn! And the first move by Wei Wuyin was absolutely ruthless! He knew that Wei Wuyin had destroyed a Shadow Egg before but damn! What the hell did they do to him?

Zhang Ziyi was silent and utterly focused. She was likely the weakest out of all the Earthly Saints tasked to join this venture. No, she was definitely the weakest, and so she merely provided her power. But she was curious how those Void Portals manifested, bringing them here from all over. Was Wei Wuyin truly connected to the Void Voyage Sect?

Four Earthly Saints sealing fixed space, led by a 9th Runic Ascendant Earthly Saint with a Nexus Spatial Soul, and seven Earthly Saints inside the sealed space! The trap was unbelievable!

And at the helm of it all was a mere mortal youth, his silver eyes brimming with a cut-throat sharpness.

The six cloaked Earthly Saints soon reacted, realizing they were schemed against! They inwardly cursed seeing these renowned Earthly Saints arrive, not one of them was ordinary, and all of them were high-tier or greater! No one knew who sent it, but a raging spiritual storm transmission erupted that announced a single order:

”RUN!”

The sound prompted the six Earthly Saints to gather together, targeting a single location of the seal, ushering their power to breakthrough! Regardless of the scheme they fell into, they had to escape the spatial seal to have a modicum of a chance to flee! They were all Earthly Saints, so they were not lacking in intuition, strength, or understanding of cultivation.

As for the Demi-Mortal Lords, they were too slow! By the time they gathered together and circulated their power, they wouldʼve been wiped out by the enemy Earthly Saints. They couldnʼt wait for them, so they were ruthlessly abandoned.

Unfortunately, they were against elite Earthly Saints ready for this tactic. Wu Yu summoned his Essence of War formed Partizan, instantly releasing his Third Grand Transformation, erupting with terrifying power. With a heavy heft and a sharp throw, the partizan shot forth like a shooting star!

It didnʼt target all the Earthly Saints, but the weakest one out of the six. That Earthly Saint paled behind their mask, realizing they were locked down by a profoundly powerful Spatial Lock, forced to resist the star-destroying spear!

They didnʼt even have time to ask for assistance as the other five Earthly Saints knew that delaying providing help would be the same as losing the opportunity to accumulate enough power to breach the seal!

Han Yuhei, Sun Li, Huoyan Liulan, and Lady Clearwind launched themselves forward; using their greatest speeds, they acted in unison and selected their targets by locking them down with their Mystic Auras. Huoyan Liulan and Han Yuhei had directly shocked their targeted opponents, temporarily freezing them for the briefest of moments, but it was enough to cause their plans to cease entirely.

A failure!

There was no united escape!

But they didnʼt stop! Three still launched their accumulated attack towards the solidified walls of space, causing a hectically thunderous explosion to resound! Yet the walls were undamaged. Baffled, depressed, and slinking into fear, the three Earthly Saints were forced to face their opponents. One of these three went to immediately assist Han Yuheiʼs initial opponent, intent on helping them out.

A sense of despair emanated from some of the Earthly Saints as they were now forced to fight!

The Demi-Mortal Lords were all thunderstruck! The explosion caused many of them to lose their sense of sight, hearing, and spiritual sense awareness, becoming discombobulated and helpless. The Spirits of War, under the lead of Zhan Zheng, rushed out with godlike ferocity, unaffected by the explosion. These Trueborn Demi-Mortal Lords could only release faint sounds from their throats before being suppressed by the thousand!

Before Wu Yuʼs partizan fully sealed away an Earthly Saint, piercing them entirely before carrying them to the spatial wall, helpless and defeated, the Spirits of Wars were already rounding up the Demi-Mortal Lords.

The World Breaker Soul Queen was injured, her left hand devastated and bloody, yet her current situation was just one filled with blank stares. She observed the ongoing conflict, finally settling onto the mortal youth coldly overwatching it all from his Fire Phoenix.

Thatʼs Wei Wuyin?

While she knew that Alchemists had abnormal rallying power, what was this?! Was this all for her daughter? This line-up could topple starfields! Her heart was a raging storm of emotions at this moment.

”Too long,” Wu Yu remarked as he dashed towards Lady Clearwindʼs opponent.

”No! Heʼs mine!” But Lady Clearwind violently shouted, a bright and excited smile on her face as she conjured silver winds of slicing sword intent that twisted her opponent protected by their Mystic Ward. It wasnʼt often that Earthly Saints could release their powers and the loved being able to unleash her strength without regard for her opponent!

Wu Yu gave her a look, faintly smiling as he gave her willowy figure an appraising look of appreciation. He didnʼt waste anymore time as he proceeded to rush off to help Sun Li, the First Branch Manager of the Golden Life Pavilion. Yet he was rebuffed once again; a heavy swing came his way from Sun Li, her body releasing intense quantities of mystic power infused with Battle Intent.

Wu Yu was baffled as Sun Li continued to engage her opponent, holding a great advantage. She was a 3rd Runic Ascendant, showing off her exceptional power that could rival the elite Ever-Knights. Her mystic armament seemed to also be of the quasi Mystic-World grade and she had a pair of black gloves that amplified her physical energies to great levels. The wealth of the Golden Life Pavilion could not be underestimated!

Wu Yu observed the scene; none of these Earthly Saints needed help, and even Han Yuhei was easily overwhelming his two opponents despite their combined efforts, truly earning his title as the Guardian of the Elements. Faye Liying hadnʼt even taken action yet, holding her scepter with a heavy expression, but her role was already extremely crucial, allowing all this to be possible.

Wu Yu couldnʼt help but turn to Wei Wuyin with a helpless smile, ”A little overkill.”

Wei Wuyinʼs cold expression revealed a faint grin. That was the point.
