Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1794  Chapter 1787: Four; A Game of Mystics (18)

The game had begun the moment seven sat at the jade table, from the first signing of the oath. Su Yi concluded as he analyzed and assessed his immense gains. With two Supreme Sages as proxies acting as mediators to an agreeable deal, maintaining his anonymity and a degree of separation using the Seven Greater Spirits of Sky Harbor Mountain, Dai Yangdao, and Wu Yintian, he made off like a bandit. The value of Guo Hengʼs calamity-producing Mythical Contract was disgustingly, unimaginably, and psychotically high, borderline deranged when the demands were issued. Moreover, they were agreed upon instantly! The highly apparent tragedy of a single Mythical Punishment at the Resonant Soul Realm stage was enough to drive an Alchemic Saint at the Mystic-Heaven level into an unresolvable corner, and the two Supreme Sages knew how to capitalize on it immediately despite just learning of the ten separately-signed Mythical Contracts!

Su Yi maintained an outward visage of calm, yet internally was a maelstrom of disbelief and awe. When Dai Yangdao transmitted that Sage Pakhet, one of the eight rulers of the Resolute Dusk Galaxy, was part of a group that was too late in arriving to seize the contract, his mind instantly realized that this foreigner was making an outrageous play. Too bad for the scheming foreigner, he had greater allies, seizing the Mythical Contract and gaining benefits on an unimaginable scale.

The viewer count for this event skyrocketed after a tiny dip, reaching slightly over three hundred billion! The disaster of the Refining Skies Galactic Zone and quite a few of its members established unprecedented levels of importance, especially as even the lowest-level of the news outlet tiers were given information on the explosive developments, including a list of individuals or organizations that were wiped out of existence! ”The Third Seat has been eliminated; World-Saint Inversetoxin has left us,” Imentet announced. Her voice was laced with a grim solemness, amplifying the highlight that was an Exalted Worldly Saint Alchemistʼs death. Moreover, excluding new viewers, those present had seen how his hopeful expression was snuffed out by that supreme existence in excruciating detail. An unexpected end. The implications of which were bound to ripple through the Supreme Sageʼs life. ”World-Saint Angelic Peach, it is your turn to show proof of bid,” Hao Chengxue announced, causing a sudden increase in tension in the air. Tianshi Ya had double-checked, triple-checked, and quadruple-checked her storage treasure, keenly keeping her awareness of her wealth. She did as most had expected, bringing forth a large quantity of products, mostly those at the acceptable impure-quality, but more than enough to establish her initial proof of wealth. In fact, her actions of offering lower quality products aligned with the conventional norms, but simultaneously caused quite a few to feel that the Zenith Creation Tower was missing out on an opportunity to display their astounding wealth. While countless viewers were salivating at those products, it was a pale comparison to Wei Wuyinʼs earlier display. ”Thank you,” Hao Chengxue politely said. Tianshi Ya was her boss, so his respectful tone was almost instinctual here. Moreover, he was thanking her from the bottom of his heart, mostly because he was unsure if he was included in the range of the Mythical Contract. Earlier, quite a few likely had thoughts like him, thinking that they were exempt from the indifferent inspection of the Arbiter. Unfortunately, they would never have the chance to regret it. The tragedy of the Zenith Refinement Tower immediately highlighted the severe importance and wager in this game, and countless were sweating on Wei Wuyinʼs behalf. As a Supreme Sage, if he lost a single Chosen, he would undoubtedly die in many of their eyes. This was what Qin Yingyin had thought before too. As long as she killed a single Chosen of Wei Wuyin during the game, he would be besieged by an unforgiving Mythical Punishment, dying on the spot. The wager was intense, and this only elevated that growing tension.

Even Su Yi found Wei Wuyinʼs situation precarious, unable to fully understand his thought process. Was he that confident of an invincible victory? Or perhaps this was the Imperial Law influencing his thoughts and actions, unable to take a single step back? This was an unprecedentedly difficult path to traverse if so. Su Yu actually felt a tinge of admiration in his heart. However, none of that mattered as he was planning to win all the same. The only thing that was important to him was ensuring that Yue Baoyue remained safe. After all, she was only here to support him. Yet Qin Yingyinʼs entire mind was trembling violently. She had a strongly supported belief that Wei Wuyin, this existence that had just stood up and sent Guo Heng away, that dared to challenge a Supreme Sage, and displayed total disregard for the Alchemic Edict of the Seven Utmost Towers earlier, wasnʼt a Supreme Sage!

No!

Not only that! His true cultivation base was defying common sense! Her first instinct wasnʼt that Wei Wuyin was an actual Mystic Star Phase cultivator, a measly first stage Mystic Ascendant that could be classified as an ʼincompleteʼ ascended being yet to fully step into the Mystic Dao Realm of Cultivation, but that this person with the starry eyes wasnʼt ʼWei Wuyinʼ but a decoy and the supremely powerful Wei Wuyin was using him as a proxy to act in his stead. Given his recent reported conquest of the Resolute Dusk Galaxy, this made considerable sense! However, she was unable to verify it to others. Moreover, who would believe her? She hesitated to report her beliefs to the Shadow Veil.

For a brief flash, she thought about the ridiculous possibility that this foreigner conquering lesser galaxies and a quasi-greater galaxy was a true Exalted-level ascended being, a mere Mystic Star Phase cultivator, with the strength and will to challenge Resonant Soul Realm experts! It would make Su Yuʼs legendary streak of accomplishment and every other demonically, heaven-defying talent throughout the Utmost Purity Galaxy and the nearby greater galaxies reduced to utter trash.

Legitimate trash. Irrefutable trash! However; she silently abolished such outrageous thoughts. She settled on the fact that this ʼWei Wuyinʼ before her wasnʼt the true Wei Wuyin. Fortunately, she was soothed by the details of the Mythical Contract signing. If he had used a proxy, there would be legitimate grounds to dispel it all. She had a trump card in case the situation fell apart. She didnʼt tell the others. An amused smile tugged at her lips as her gaze swept the crowd of solemn expressions and an eternal smile.

Unbeknownst to her…

Wei Wuyin didnʼt care about Qin Yingyinʼs thoughts. Instead, when his turn came about, he did something that shook the entirety of the spectators and participants once again. He brought out an entirely different set of alchemical products, all peak-quality, as proof of his bid. It was world-shaking!

Fortunately, Imentet took the reins here as Hao Chengxue and Liu Sheng were gobsmacked by the number of peak products that Wei Wuyin was bringing, including their extensive variety from all four types of products. Even their uses were varied. At this point, Wei Wuyin wasnʼt showing off. He was making a statement! The Neo-Dawn Empire is no less inferior in the Alchemic Dao as the Utmost Purity Galaxy!

This was a small move. Yet, the waves it sent caused countless peak figures to come to a few conclusions as to his intentions. Some guessed it somewhat correctly, their souls shaken by the implications. They couldnʼt help but look at the Zenith Refinement Tower and Zenith Creation Tower.

Suo Haoran was standing in the Void with the Seer of the Nightʼs Supreme Sage. They had temporarily established an alliance together, exploring the Void in tandem. In fact, only four groups were scouring for the Mythical Contracts, with many understanding the implications of multiple Mythical Contracts tethered to each participant. ”I hate monarchs…” Suo Haoran coldly voiced. The Supreme Sage in black, voluminous robes indifferently glanced his way as they kept a link open to the Spiritual Network while within the Void. Their powers were beyond mystical, drawing strength from the heavens and defying expectations. This was what it meant to be a supreme existence.

”I agree!” A voice spat viciously. The two Supreme Sages didnʼt even look in the direction of the skinny female Supreme Sage of the Zenith Refinement Tower, her facial countenance was pallid and drained of vitality. She suffered incredible damage from the Mythical Punishment, setting all her cultivating efforts to consolidate back and then some.

That was over three hundred thousand years of effort…GONE! Just like that.

She was livid. And she had every right to be. Fortunately, she was alive. Moreover, she was not unaware of the cause. If not for these two, she might have survived the second punishment, but certainly would have died to the third Mythical Punishment or the fourth or the ninth! She had no escape. She hated Guo Heng to the bone. Even having eradicated his entire existence, accumulating a hefty sin as a result, she was unable to dispel her hatred for his uselessness. She scowled at the thought of his foolish face. The Seer of the Nightʼs Supreme Sage glanced her way. ”Be sure to offer a portion of your True Soul Qi as repentance,” she flatly warned. The skinny female Supreme Sage took in an incomparably deep breath of space, time, and odd energies of the Void. She was aware of the existence of karmic sin to an extent, knowing that destroying True Souls was an affront to the Heavenly Daos laws and often led to consequences. But there were ways to dispel it through certain Heavenly Rituals requiring their True Souls. This would significantly impact her future cultivation effort and strength as a Supreme Sage. Still, she didnʼt regret it after seeing how she was guaranteed to die at the time. Guo Heng could be revived.

She couldnʼt.

”Iʼll do my best to fulfill my end of the bargain,” the skinny female Supreme Sage straightforwardly declared. The two others only gave brief nods of acknowledgment.

With three of them working together, they created an exceptional team. Meanwhile, the other three teams consisted of the Dao Enforcers of the other Zenith Towers that included hired muscle, the Supreme Sage of the Seven Towers of the Heavenly Sages and mash of allied forces, and the three Sages of the Resolute Dusk Galaxy—Pakhet, Nepit, and Nepri. Shockingly, the three Sages were the weakest party, but they had an outrageous Void Treasure that made it difficult for Suo Haoran to harm them. And it was not for lack of trying. They were like fish in water. If they could get rid of the foreignerʼs search team, they could weaken him and grab his Mythical Contract. The taste of blackmail was still lingering deliciously on their tongues. They even had the thought of thanking this foreigner. Perhaps at the end of his life, when the Mythical Punishment descends, heʼll make an appearance and smilingly give him a heartfelt thanks of gratitude. Suo Haoranʼs eyes flashed as a golden shuttle pierced into the Void. Their Seers were here. With the truth about the Mythical Contracts revealed, the race for it was greater than ever, especially with the great implication of leveraging it for benefits! Back in the Original Dawn Palace, the stage of the game of Mystics: Royale, Imentet and Hao Chengxue shift the tone with a slightly upbeat vocal shift, attracting everyoneʼs attention.

”Can you tell me the details of Mystics: Royale? Iʼve never played!” Imentet once again acted ignorant. ”Of course!” Hao Chengxue unhesitatingly agreed. If the viewers didnʼt know the rules, how could they understand the surface significance of certain actions and choices? He began to explain!
