Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1886: Chapter 1878: A Sword's Bounty

"Orianna, assist us!" Within Wei Wuyin's Sea of Consciousness was the thunderous bellow of his Second Mind. While the Void-Blank Space between the Transformation Zone and Creation Zone was trembling with the seismic intensity of three thousand Spiritquakes by Su Yi's brazen attempt at further ascension, Wei Wuyin's focus was redirected by the systematic execution of surgical precision in attempting to retain the quintessence of Sovereign She-Devil Sword's physique.

Copious amounts of Alchemic Akashic Mystic Force, Draconic Void Mystic Force, and Alpha Origin Mystic Force poured out of Eden, Kratos, and Ori, they worked in flawless tandem under the direction of his Second Mind to dual refine the low-perfection Soul Pill and high-perfection Abstruse Spiritforce Pill, seeking to stabilize the crumbling and exhausted Resonant Soul before them.

An intense pressure was placed on his Stellar-Paragon Physique, especially his meridians, creating micro-fissures across the landscape of his internal body, yet they were healed nigh-instaneously by absorbing excessive quantities of Chaos Mana. At this critical moment, King served as a protector and guardian of his body.

If it wasn't for the need to act swiftly, he would have preferred to establish proper defenses against external threats. However, this wild beauty's circumstances required immediate attention. Wei Wuyin couldn't even wait for her to acknowledge their agreement to save her life, unwilling to waste the precious microsecond she would have to move her cracked lips.

"Do you need additional assistance?" Wei Wuyin inquired of the Second Mind through their mental connection. What he received in reply was a guttural grunt as the right arm of his patient turned into literal dust, scattering into the three dimensions of space as if pulled by an otherworldly force. Taken aback by this, his Second Mind acted with preternatural swiftness, far surpassing his own mental calculation or processing ability, tapping into the Major Authority of Imperial Law and the Major Authority of Spatial Law.

"GATHER!!" A single command roared across the three dimensions of space. Somehow, someway, his Second Mind regathered the scattered dust and gave it a rudimentary form of a hand. It was hollow, lacking energy and essence, but carried her core constitution qualities earned through arduous cultivation.

"Contain! Transform! Create! Refine!" Eden called forth four of the seven core principles of alchemy upon the arm, containing its form, transforming what was contained into cells, bones, blood, and muscle, creating a solid arm that was unified in function and purpose, before lastly refining it, linking it to the Resonant Soul and the rest of her physique. The process required lightning speed. The slightest hesitation would render her arm lost, potentially forever. She would have to spend an unfathomable amount of time to rebuild that arm that was the result of extensive cultivation, nourishment, and refinement by the Mortal Dao and Mystic Dao's tribulations and blessings.

Wei Wuyin had never seen anything like it. What was that otherworldly force trying to take her arm? If not for his Major Imperial Law's ability to command and then his Major Spatial Law's control over all dimensions of space, his Second Mind and those three spirits would not have been able to achieve this little.

Even then, Wei Wuyin's expression became slightly pale; the expenditure of Soul Energy was substantially high, enough to cause him to feel somewhat exhausted. Using Major Laws was not an easy task, especially given his low cultivation and lack of True Soul cultivation. If not for his gains during his conquests of Hell time and time again, he would have been unable to muster this for even a femtosecond.

While he was occupied by this, Su Yi was shocking the entire world; his Eighth Gate of Ascension was manifesting, and subtly, slithering within the ears, minds, spirits, and souls of those within ten billion miles, was the sound of gentle, nascent-like breathing. It resembled the first breath of an infant, incomparably pure and beautiful.

However, to those who had designs against Su Yi, this was like the breathing of a devil infant, seeking to exit the womb with Hell in tow. Their souls shuddered. A murderous chill suffused that ten billion-mile region.

Sovereign Darkmother was one of those whose Soul shuddered in fright. That gaze from earlier could still be felt. She clutched her fists so tightly that the gravitational force in the region intensified a thousandfold as seven-colored tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes. The other Supreme Sages were taken aback. But they were all intelligent, and instantly understood that Su Yi had targeted her.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord furrowed his brows on his handsome face, asking out of pure curiosity: "Can Daoist Su succeed? He was heavily injured by the Mythical Punishment, and the Breathing Tribulation Gate is not easy to overcome. The slightest mistake could ruin your future potential, and even cost one their life. He has just fought against Heaven-Saint Littlefinger, so he'll be challenging it in less than ideal circumstances."

"..." The other Supreme Sages remained silent, yet their gazes observing Su Yi gathering strength to enter his tribulation gate carried the same thoughts.

"And even if he succeeded, his strength shouldn't increase by much." Sovereign Seafather glanced at Wei Wuyin as he tried to console Sovereign Darkmother of her concerns. After all, only she and the deceased Littlefinger had plotted for Su Yi's secrets, scheming alongside his lifelong enemies to kill him before he could escape or allow that Shard of Heaven to reach its full potential.

"..." Sovereign Darkmother's face was twisted with darkness. Her eyes radiated a steely light of unshakeable determination. Seeing this, Sovereign Rainmother sighed in her heart. She hastily retreated out of Wei Wuyin's ward, grabbing her Dao Companion, Sovereign Skyfather. "This matter, we will not concern ourselves with this."

Seeing this, Sovereign Seafather, Sovereign Earthmother, and Sovereign Oakfather had complex emotions surge within their eyes.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord and Honeygold Star Palace Lord both looked at each other, reading the room, and they immediately said their intent to leave, not even giving any of the Heavenly Alchemic Saints a chance to keep them here with any obscenely tempting words.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord floated beneath Wei Wuyin and his patient, calmly acting as Dharma Protector without needing to be asked. When Honeygold Star Palace Lord arrived a few hundred miles away from him, he glanced at her as she sat down cross-legged, meditating with a calm aura.

He praised her in his heart. After all, acting as Dharma Protectors to the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint as he sought to save someone was a great excuse to avoid the upcoming mess. And as if answering both of their expectations, Sovereign Darkmother brought out a cauldron the size of an infant's head.

It was coated in radiant gold, glistening with heavenly light. She allowed it to levitate before her, pouring her resonant qi within, causing it to erupt in a luminous golden glow that resembled a star.

"By my authority as an Alchemist of the Heavenly Mysticism bestowed to me by the Seven Towers of the Heavenly Sages and the Utmost Purity Galaxy's Utmost Zenith Towers, I, Heaven-Saint Gloomdark, hereby execute an order of execution of the Daoist by the name of Su Yi! Anyone who claims his life within TWENTY-FOUR HOURS after his ascension will receive SEVEN reasonable favors by the Seven Towers of the Heavenly Sages, and the equivalent of 2,500 Mystic-Heaven Essence Stones in alchemical products, materials, items, or services over Low-Mystic Generation(30,000 Years MAXIMUM)!!!"

"..."

As the cauldron sent out this decree on a galactic scale, the entire galaxy went extraordinarily silent.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord and Honeygold Star Palace Lord both felt the breathing of their souls halt, shaken to the very True Soul, with bulging eyes and trembling fingers. They looked at each other, utterly speechless.

Pained expressions emerged on Sovereign Oakfather, Sovereign Seafather, and Sovereign Earthmother, yet they didn't stop or contradict her declaration. Sovereign Littlefather was killed as they watched it happen, and while it was his fault, they had certain obligations, so they could only resort to accepting this outcome for the sake of their reputation and personal safety. Even if she hadn't spoken, Su Yi couldn't be allowed to live.

Perhaps even the Zeniths wouldn't have stood by and watched. Now that she had acted, the Zeniths wouldn't directly act anymore, but they wouldn't delay their actions until after Su Yi killed her with his vengeful retaliation.

"Shit! Fucking bitch!" Sovereign Skyfather cursed without caring about his prestigious image. This declaration had essentially placed them all in the same boat. And Sovereign Rainmother's viciously twisted expression of rage was a clear sign of that. They had their own Mythical Oaths established, so doing anything but helping them out would be detrimental.

Su Yi was now the enemy of the Seven Towers of the Heavenly Sages.

Wei Wuyin's brows were laced with sweat. The operation was exhausting his soul energy due to the resulting otherworldly force that tried to drag the crumbling body of his patient to who knows where. While only a few seconds had passed, the actual situation required him to exert his Major Laws four times within that tiny time frame.

He could only react to the bounty with lukewarm surprise. He expected this. Su Yi's action of slaughtering a Heavenly Saint Alchemist was a grand taboo. While the Zeniths would allow him to continue digging himself in the hole he made for himself by killing the others if he sought to, they wouldn't stand by as he left the galaxy alive.

Unless…there was more to this than meets the eye…

Su Yi entered his Breathing Tribulation Gate after handing Sovereign Primal Star over to Yue Baoyue. They all watched with bated breath. None of them acted here, not wanting to suffer the backlash of the Mystic Dao. Regardless of their cultivation base, the Resonant Soul Realm was still a part of the Mystic Dao's cultivation realms. The fact that the treasures were titled Mystic-Heaven and Mystic-Soul was crucial evidence of that fact.

Wei Wuyin glanced at the core region of the former Incinerated Dominion. Afrit-tuza had lost and was on the verge of dying to the starfish Star-Devourer, but had been saved by the Primal Star Sovereign promptly as she rushed forward while sustaining injuries.

The starfish had run away, hiding after she had pierced throughout without fear. It had absorbed enough, sufficient to digest and last for many millennia.

Pakhet had retreated to Su Mei and Yao Houyi's side. The trio calmly observed the dangerous attempt of intrusive breaching by Sovereign Primal Star. She had saved Afrit-tuza, but the Shard of Heaven had lost all qualifications to compete with Pakhet, and while the Supreme Sage tried to eliminate both Star-Devourer and Enlightened Sage to secure his chance, Pakhet was moved by Su Mei in the blink of a Microheaven Envoy's eye, saving her from that fierce retaliation.

They were all too casual as they witnessed the resulting aftermath, including Su Yi slaughtering Sovereign Littlefinger and saving the severely injured Sovereign Primal Star after her reckless action.

"You think he'll come after us when he ascends?" Yao Houyi asked. Somehow, somewhere, he was eating dates that had appeared in his hands within a brown paper bag. He offered some to Su Yi, who refused, but Pakhet partook in eating a few.

"That'll be suicide," Pakhet said as she briefly glanced in Su Mei's direction.

"Mm," Yao Houyi didn't disagree.

Su Mei furrowed her brows as she looked at the Incinerated Dominion's core that Shui Fengbao had entered. "Hurry up! You have three days!"

Shui Fengbao's distinctly blazing aura flared within the core, causing various eruptions of flaming light to occur within the area, blindingly hot.

Su Mei nodded. The real treasure can be obtained, and then they'll leave like proper bandits. Even if Su Yi wanted to find them, they would be off cultivating elsewhere, digesting all their wonderful gains. She didn't pay much attention to him or his potential vendetta.

Instead, she set the time based on Wei Wuyin's words before he left this fiery subspace: "You have three days before the core explodes. Don't be too slow here."

Erdiul's Note: I was kinda tweaking yesterday, this Su Yi guy ain't even worth cleaning WW's boots. He has no reason to bother with him. I honestly don't mind if in the end Su Yi doesn't die to WW.
