Paragon Of Sin

1854 Chapter 1847: Final Act (21)

Across the Utmost Purity Galaxy, an aura was born; the aura was omnipresent, and there was no one among the vast galactic region that didnʼt subconsciously gaze upwards. They felt drawn, as if a delicate hand lifted their chins, and their eyes found the glimmer of gorgeous radiance that was irresistible.

Within an isolated world of ash-grey clouds and dusky white light reflecting off the glossy obsidian surface, a young swordsman in moon-white robes sat atop a protruding, jagged boulder without any discomfort. He exhibited a matchless aura, sharp as a divine blade, and exuding a brilliance that could shine throughout the ages with little effort.

Besides this swordsman, a creature standing eighteen feet in height stood on its powerful, thick legs that resembled both a human and a canine. It possessed fiery eyes with its edges diffusing embers, exuding an incomparably intense heat from its gaze on par with Solar Stars. It had red, smoky skin, with wings of hellishly black flames that seemed almost solid, and a body forged of great, imposing muscles. Atop its head, which resembled an imposing beast and a handsome male human, were two curved jet-black horns that extended from its forehead and reached the back of its neck.

It was extraordinarily terrifying, and its mere presence forced the ambient energies around it to transform into pure, incandescent fire energies that gathered together as tiny, marble-like wisps of dancing demonic flames.

With a low grunt, the creature lifted its head to gaze at the starless sky within the Incinerated Dominion.

Besides the moon-white robes swordsman was a gorgeous woman whose beauty seemed to be amplified by discarding her gaudy possessions of jewelry and opulent displays of wealth, returning to simplicity in with a cool-blue dress that hugged her slender figure, exposing the hefty nature of the twin mounds around her chest, accenturing her sensual charm and beauty by several mouth-watering levels.

The woman who resembled an immortal fairy descending into the mortal world lifted her head with an exploding gaze of shock and disbelief. ”This is…!” Her eyes instinctively transformed into the Alchemic Stars of Spiritual Transcendence, glowing with a fascinatingly beautiful seven colors.

This was none other than Su Yi, Yue Baoyue, and an unknown existence.

The moon-white robed Su Yi calmly lifted his head as he touched the sword hilt at his waist. It released a soft sword hum, as if responding to something abnormal. He slowly stood upright.
”The Heavenly World is resonating…” Su Yi commented lightly as the starless sky of ash-grey began to tremble.

Yue Baoyue breathily exclaimed with two tightly clenched fists, ”A Heavenly Awakening of a Supreme Sage!” She was one of the top ten Worldly Saint Alchemists across the entire Utmost Purity Galaxy, deemed to be ranked seventh in the Seven Rising Heavens Alchemic Rankings, so her familiarity was the highest out of the three.

Su Yi could sense it too. Someone out there was attaining the Alchemic Daoʼs acknowledgement as a Heavenly Saint Alchemist. This was an extraordinary occurrence, and even though there were false Heavenly Saint Alchemists out there who had acquired such titles with inferior products, this phenomenon was not common at all.

It wouldnʼt be an exaggeration to say that a single Heavenly Saint Alchemist was born once every hundred thousand years in other greater galaxies, and once every twenty thousand years in the Utmost Purity Galaxy. Moreover, awakenings had divisions in strength with respect to the blessings they delivered, with the higher the tier of the product and the higher its quality, the greater it was.

And he could confidently say that in both of his lifetimes, he had NEVER seen a Heavenly Awakening of this intensity capable of affecting the entire galaxy!

”Who is it?” Yue Baoyue asked. Was it the first ranker of the Seven Rising Heavens Alchemic Ranking, Luo Chen? After considering that man, she shook her head. According to reports, he wasnʼt in the Utmost Purity Galaxy at the moment, and was currently staying at Treasured Vale Galaxy via an invitation by the Imperial Shang Clan of the Blessed Yri Empire.

If not him, then who?

As her mind circulated in thought on who could have achieved such an astonishing achievement, the fiery creature beside them spoke in a deep, terrifying, yet oddly magnetic voice: ”Strange.”

”Strange?” Yue Baoyue was confused immediately, yet she didnʼt dare to dismiss a single word of this fiery demon.

Su Yiʼs eyes narrowed, ”Afrit-tuza, youʼre right; Iʼve experienced a few Heavenly Awakenings, either from afar or up close, yet this one is different.”

”Different how?” Yue Baoyueʼs experience and cultivation were far too low to sense the great intricacies laid within. Not to mention, she was still recovering from the extraction of the Pure Utmost Cauldron.

”Itʼs greater than any Heavenly Awakening Iʼve witnessed, but…fragmented? Couldnʼt Be. Split? Maybe…drawn elsewhere?” The creature called Afrit-tuza by Su Yi answered Yue Baoyueʼs question, only causing her confusion to become increasingly pronounced.

Su Yi was unable to move his gaze away, so was Yue Baoyue, and the fiery demonically bestial creature known as Afrit-tuza. This was also well within Su Yiʼs expectations as the Heavenly Awakening of the Supreme Sage had a power that made all those beneath the Resonant Soul Realm unable to ʼnot bear witnessʼ. It was a terrifying power, even greater enhanced in a galactic region dominated by the Alchemic Dao like the Utmost Purity Galaxy.

Trying to look away would be no different than fighting against the strength of an entire galaxy.

However, suddenly, Afrit-tuzaʼs eyes moved away from the sky above, focusing on a region within the Incinerated Dominion not too far away. When this happened, its two crimson eyes that lacked pupils and irises, widened uncontrollably.

”You…?” Su Yi could sense Afrit-tuzaʼs movement, stunned. He was just about to withdraw his sword to fight against this near-suicidal action, yet when Yue Baoyueʼs head moved and her gaze focused on the same direction and area, he realized something was happening. Without any resistance, he found that he could move his gaze, locating a region within the Incinerated Dominion that was exuding an aura of the Heavenly Awakening of the Supreme Sage!

In that specific area, a black-haired young woman with clear black eyes that shone like polished onyx sat cross-legged in a man-made cavern carved from a mountain of an obsidian-like substance. She was absorbing the enriched fire energies and essences intermixed with heavenly essence into her body, energies and essences that could only be found in a Heavenly World of a fallen Supreme Sage.

She was currently gazing intently at her ring as a familiar aura surged outwards in a fantastical aurora borealis-like light that enshrouded her. A warmth suffused her gaze and heart as those pink lips curved into a smile.

Afrit-tuza then looked at three other locations in shock.

There, it noticed a fiery-red-haired young man, a blindfolded middle-aged man, and a valiantly animalistic woman cultivating diligently. They werenʼt the only ones who dared to venture into the forbidden region of the Incinerated Dominion to cultivate or seek treasure, so it had ignored them earlier, but now...there was no ignoring them!

Because from the spatial artifacts on their fingers, the Void Rings, it could feel the unmistakable aura of the Heavenly Awakening of the Supreme Sage!!!

They werenʼt the only ones.

In a place far, far away…

In the Onestar Galaxy, both within and beyond the Endless Void Mirrorʼs spatial domain, several individuals were experiencing the enveloping presence of the Heavenly Awakening of the Supreme Sage!

Various altars across the Sky Heart Galaxy, Resolute Dusk Galaxy, and the White Abyssal Galaxy exuded the same aura!

”Ho-how is this possible?!” Su Yi was baffled as his countless years of experience and knowledge failed him for the first time in a long while.

Even Afrit-tuza, a demon of great age and knowledge, was unable to answer him, their expression the picture of disbelief.

Meanwhile, yet again, a young silver-eyed man barely over a hundred years old dared to defy expectations and rules as he refused to allow those who followed him to not benefit from his achievement!

-----

The Blank Dominion was a Microheaven of a fallen Supreme Existence that cultivated the power to prohibit the world, excluding all energies, essences, and forces from regions of space, causing their Microheaven to become an Absolute Void Region-like domain.

Yet, at this very moment, the entire galaxyʼs inhabitants were drawn to the sight of the heavens breaching this prohibition without restraint as seven-colored radiance descended from everywhere. The Alchemic Dao was domineering to the extreme, causing countless alchemists to gasp in awe, never expecting that someone could achieve a Heavenly Awakening of the Supreme Sage from within the Blank Dominion!

That was no different than concocting on the hardest difficulty and achieving a flawless score.

Suo Haoran couldnʼt believe what he was seeing. Moreover, he couldnʼt comprehend how this was happening! None of the Supreme Existences observing the events occurring in the accelerated zone could comprehend what was happening! Not a single one!

CRACK!

The temporally-accelerated zone, pushed to an extreme ratio of 1 day to 10,000 days, was placed under extreme pressure.

SHATTER!!!

Before anyone could digest what was happening and react, the formations and array surrounding the Blank Dominion collapsed all at once…everywhere! The one-hundred-mile zones of the Zenith came crashing down. Within that moment, they had returned to the normal rate of temporal flow, and they could freely observe what was happening beyond their region.

”What?!” Suo Kai-Ming, Tianshi Zaoxuan, and the other Zeniths all had their Alchemic Stars erupt with the highest intensity as they felt the divine presence of the Alchemic Phenomena—THE HEAVENLY AWAKENING OF THE SUPREME SAGE!

Suo Kai-Ming immediately used her spiritual sense to extend to the source of the phenomenon. What she sensed made her heart throb so intensely that she could never forget the sight, even if she died and was reborn, forever etched into her True Soul!

A young man of unearthly handsomeness that which exceeded any man she had seen before or will see again, exuding an unrivaled, paragonic aura as the Alchemic Dao shone down seven-colored radiance sundering the sky, earth, and void as it cascaded to bless him as if he were a transcendent child of the Alchemic Dao!

Within his right hand was a vial.

But this vial was no ordinary vial. It was absorbing the seven-colored radiance, seemingly forged by it, a special and uniquely created treasure by the Alchemic Dao all to house the entirety of this productʼs existence.

Because nothing else could do so within the realm of the Mortal or Mystic!

The vial was only seven inches in height, yet upon seeing it, sensing its contents that werenʼt restricted at all, especially as she drew upon the will of her Alchemic Stars, she observed an entire world within. A vial that contained a world larger than any starfield.

The world was flawlessly spherical, possessing continents formed from trillions of liquid runes, all forming a unique continental rune. The continents totaled seven, exactly. And each was strangely perfect as if they could assemble into a flawless whole. Beneath each continent was a pure energy ocean—eternal, unfathomable, and mundane.

The world itself was the potion—the Edict Potion!

It was a Mystic-World!

IT WAS A MYSTICAL WORLD OF LIQUID!

Her heart was pounding as she felt from within the Edict Potion a faint presence of a soul. As an Alchemist, she could create Spiritual Lifeforms known as Spiritforms and Nascent Souls, so sensing this wasnʼt too unexpected, yet this was a pure soul designed to merge with another. It was meant to be consumed!

It was meant to be absorbed!

Her heart was racing uncontrollably!!

But what confused her wasnʼt just what was in his right hand, but within his left hand, a Void Ring was absorbing the seemingly omnipresent aura of the Heavenly Awakening. It was flowing into it without resistance. What was he doing?

Before she could observe further, Heaven-Saint Transforming Worlds was ecstatically roaring. He hurriedly sat down in a cross-legged position as his Alchemic Stars were pushed to their limits, and he began to prime his body to absorb the blessings of the Heavenly Awakening of a Supreme Sage!

There was a reason why it was referred to as the Heavenly Awakening of a Supreme Sage! Those who could enjoy its blessing had a great chance of ascending to the heavens, entering the Resonant Soul Realm!

The vast majority of Dao Enforcers, including Suo Haoran, the Maleficent-Chaos Sovereign, and Dongfang Yue, were byproducts of a Zenithʼs Heavenly Awakening, forging a life-debt that they couldnʼt pay off easily. Even Suo Haoran was tethered to the Tianshi Clan despite his clan from another galaxy producing their own Zenith!

Meanwhile, Maleficent-Chaos Sovereign was a direct result of Suo Kai-Mingʼs Heavenly Awakening!

He was ready to execute a special cultivation method to lay down the greatest of foundations to one day become a Supreme Sage!

He wasnʼt the only one; shortly after he readied himself to cultivate, the Supreme Sages from all over and audience members were all ready to absorb the blessings! They were crying tears of joy for their fortune!

Wei Wuyin sensed all their actions and couldnʼt help but sneer. This blessing was not for them, but for his people and his empire to enjoy alone.

Too bad.

As he thought this, with a single clench of his left fist, the Alchemical Phenomena of his Heavenly Alchemic Saint promotion was scattered into his Void Ring, traversing the greater Void to reach those interconnected to him.

The great seven-colored radiance crashing into the Blank Dominion concluded in an instant. It was so abrupt, the True Souls of everyone under its effects felt a severe whiplash.

Stunned, baffled, uncertain, and shaken gazes, hearts, perceptions, and souls all focused on the Neo-Dawn Ascension Emperor, who held his Edict Potion in his right hand. With a perfect smile and a casual air, he announced to the world: ”Iʼve finished my concoction. Shall we declare the winner of this round?”
