Paragon of Sin
chapter-1605

The shout was the manifestation of panic, fear, urgency, and pleading, and it pulsed strongly from the Internal World of Overlord Tigerheart backed by the full spiritual strength of an Original Magistrate, a Heavenly Saint!

"PLEASE! JUST WAIT A MOMENT!!" The voice rippled outwards as a faint silver light worked its way out of Overlord Tigerheart's chest and materialized as a young girl with alabaster skin, her scarlet eyes and voice betrayed her age. She looked ghastly pale, even whiter than before, and her heart was racing as she revealed herself without any protection whatsoever. It seemed she had hidden nothing, as if to say she was unarmed and was playing absolutely no tricks.

Wei Wuyin halted his life-claiming finger. This was the Senior Worldly Saint Alchemist named Alchemic Saint White Sky. This was the information he had gathered from Teng Jiangwen during his exploits in the Utmost Purity Galaxy and after familiarizing himself with the various top-tier forces that could attract a Sage's attention.

She didn't have an alchemical lineage within the Mystic Dao but relied on her superb talent in concocting to reach her current status, not having much of a gift for invention and innovation. Still, she was a Senior Worldly Saint Alchemist who could concoct high-tier Mystic-World grade products to a satisfactory standard of the Utmost Purity Galaxy.

The fact that she had a Mystic Overlord level Alchemic Knight or Dao Protector suggested her extraordinary capabilities. While Overlord Tigerheart was bottom of the rung in terms of Mystic Overlords, that was all relative to one's internalized and rationalized standards. After all, he certainly wasn't the worst Mystic Overlord.

"Hear me out, Senior!" Alchemic Saint White Sky asked pleasingly as she observed this silver-eyed, exceedingly handsome, almost immortal-like young man in his beastly transformation.

Wei Wuyin thought for a moment. He had already told Young Master Shang that he never intended to spare any of them, and adding an Alchemist like White Sky and a Mystic Overlord like Tigerheart to his Nexus War Flag would be a bountiful harvest. However, while man plans, the heavens laughs. To be specific here, the Heavenly Daos.

Ohn!

[RIGHT ARM]

Karmic Luck Value: 167,824.2 ⌜†’ 159,664.3.

First Calamity: Survived - 7/7.

Second Calamity: Claimed - 1/1.

Third Calamity: Claimed - 3/3.

Fourth Calamity: Suppressed - 1 Year.

[LEFT ARM]

Karmic Luck Value: 74,740.

First Calamity: Claimed - 7/7.

Second Calamity: Claimed - 1/1.

Third Calamity: Claimed - 3/3.

Fourth Calamity: Suppressed - 1 Year.

"8,159.9," Wei Wuyin calculated as the Karmic Luck Value of his right tattoo was deducted. The urging of the Heavenly Daos descended, attempting to influence him to see the value of keeping an alchemist such as Alchemic Saint White Sky alive. It wasn't very detailed in its influence, but Wei Wuyin was already adept at comprehending its intentions, and his expression darkened slightly.

The shift in his expression was downright hellish in Alchemic Saint White Sky's eyes as she almost summoned her protective treasures out of instinct. However, she somehow restrained this urge as if it was suppressed by some external influence, and only gulped heavily out of fear.

Unbeknownst to this Alchemist, Wei Wuyin's frustration wasn't toward her exactly, but that the Heavenly Daos was attempting to perform its typical indirect attempt at bestowing a Blessed with alchemical fortune, given that it was unable to grant any Blessed with talent or direct advantages with the Alchemic Dao while concocting or other concocting. This indirect influence was unnecessary in Wei Wuyin's mind, given that he was certainly on the level of an elite Junior Worldly Saint Alchemist already.

He was conflicted.

On one hand, he could resort to the Nexus War Flag and gain two suitable Soldiers of War.

On the other hand, he didn't want to waste nearly nine thousand worth of Karmic Luck.

Using the Nexus War Flag would allow for greater flexibility but amplify his resource requirements for the Nexus War Flag. It could also create enemies, but that was fine in his eyes and a non-factor.

Meanwhile, following the fortuitous encounter of the Heavenly Daos might lead to unprecedented fortune exceeding the early periods of his initial gains. Additionally, he was an Exploitative Blessed, not an Interlinked Blessed like Long Chen who gathered endless backgrounds and fortunes by relying on others to promote himself.

Contemplating this with the swiftness of light, he had to believe that being merciful now might lead to a greater fortune in the future.

'But what if the additional Bloodline of Sin isn't the same type of Blessed fortune? could it have changed or affected me somehow?'

"Open your Sea of Consciousness," Wei Wuyin spoke in a steel tone that brooked no argument. Alchemic Saint White Sky was so terrified that she was trying to gather her thoughts and consider what she could give to a Sage to spare her life, including Tiger. She was even considering threatening him with her alchemic organization or instilling the idea of getting an ample ransom in this man's heart.

Fortunately for her, Wei Wuyin was decisive and quick thinking, far faster than her, or else she might have forfeited her life by relying on her first instinct of threats. Biting her lower lips with her upper teeth tensely, her scarlet eyes shone with a reluctant light after hearing Wei Wuyin's request.

"Don't kill Tiger..." She whispered weakly as her Sea of Consciousness was opened. This was no different than handing her life or death to someone else, but she didn't have a choice. Her Dao Protector was almost in shatters and could no longer fight. Almost all of her prepared escape means had been counteracted by the violent fluctuations still permeating throughout the Dark Void. For the next few weeks or months, all forms of Spatial Shifting would be hindered considerably or outright unable to activate without severe consequences.

Without Wei Wuyin's Void Shifting Ability, an ability that relies on traversing through the Void of The World, there were no exceptions to this without first quelling the violent chaos.

Wei Wuyin sent a wisp of Annihilation Law infused Omega Saber Starforce into her Sea of Consciousness, enveloped by a sphere of Alchemic Eden Force that merged with her Mind's Eye, vanishing as it perfectly matched her mental and soul fluctuations.

With a single thought, Wei Wuyin could obliterate her soul.

She shivered as she felt a cold power enter her mind before vanishing abruptly, which only caused terror to elevate within her already pounding heart. She swallowed another wad of saliva, gulping incredibly loudly, as she gazed at Wei Wuyin in submission.

Wei Wuyin grabbed at Overlord Tigerheart and swiped across Alchemic Saint White Sky. In a flash of spatial light, the Mystic Overlord was sent into her Internal World. Then, he palmed toward her shocked and disturbed expression, and she was sent away as if she was a mere illusion.

'I can't waste karmic luck...not a single one,' after deciding this, Wei Wuyin settled Alchemic Saint White Sky with decisive action. 'Two left...'

Wei Wuyin turned his gaze toward the hiding place of the Enlightened Sage, a true representation of the peak of the Mystic Dao, a True Soul Phase expert at the Ninth Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm!

Sage Springfield!

"You've already noticed me?" A voice resounded throughout the chaotic portions of space, sealed a large portion caused by Overlord Tigerheart's rampant, unfocused attacks. This was merely due to the exposure of Sage Springfield's Spiritual Aura of his transmitted voice! The space itself...was healing!!

Wei Wuyin's gaze, which was calm and serene as if the heavens were unable to disturb his heart, grew faintly absent-minded and distant.

A Spiritual Disruption Spell!

BOOM!!!

Wei Wuyin felt his body impacted by a solid ball of chaos mana and mystic power, feeling as if a hammer of divine steel had slammed against his chest with unprecedented power!

His scales shattered!

His body flew thousands of miles!

DRACONIC TRANSFORMATION! INFINITE VOID WINGS!

From Wei Wuyin's back, two draconic wings spanning three thousand thousand miles formed across the Dark Void with an extraordinary flourish! The void was latched to and his momentum was halted.

Wei Wuyin's silver eyes were no longer absent or distant as before. Instead, it was filled to the brim with harmonious spiritual light! Spiritual light that originated from all four spirits!

Wei Wuyin guarded his mind with all his strength!

"..." The Heavenly War Spirit was unable to maintain her form in his Sea of Consciousness, becoming a pile of golden, deflated mass that hovered at the bottom of Eden's roots, which was bulging and flailing with maddening speed toward areas of his Sea of Consciousness borders, healing recent fractures! Even the Palace of Eden was rumbling with countless cracks littered around it!

A single spiritual spell had shaken Wei Wuyin's entire Sea of Consciousness until his Sea of Consciousness reinforced by countless alchemical products, unprecedented tribulations, and guarded by Eden was damaged!

"What a strong spirit. I thought you were a Martial Cultivator. Seems like your overall foundation isn't too bad," the voice echoed out again, and Wei Wuyin, relying on his Spiritual Sense was unable to find the origin, only through his Celestial Eyes was he capable of finding that illusory figure.

He was three million miles away, hovering silently, far away from his original location. As Wei Wuyin's gaze swept that area, Sage Springfield, while holding a horsetail whisk whose threads coiled loosely around him while attached to odd points in space, released a soft exclamation.

"What exceptional eyes you have," the perpetual smile on Sage Springfield was still present.

Wei Wuyin didn't respond. His Infinite Void Wings shrunk to only twenty meters in length.

Tapping into the depths of his bloodline and Draconic Void Starforce-

VOID IMAGE: RAIN WITHIN HEAVY STORM!

TRILLIONS of Void Images manifested throughout millions of miles, countless 'Wei Wuyins' appeared surrounding everywhere. It was almost endless. They gave off the same aura as Wei Wuyin down to the physical disruption of his typical presence when moving through space itself.

Sage Springfield's eyes faintly narrowed, his smile remaining, and he dropped his concealment in an instant. The horsetail whisk in his hands originally had translucent hairs, but the hair suddenly turned sleek black.

WHOOSH!

A 'Wei Wuyin' appeared directly behind Sage Springfield, a fist clenched with unfathomable levels of draconic might was formed and thrust toward the back of his head with frightening power. If this hit a planet, only dust would remain after a few seconds.

At the same time, two other 'Wei Wuyin' came from the sides!

Sage Springfield didn't move.

At the last moment, just as the attack was about to hit, just mere millimeters away, Wei Wuyin executed a perfect Void Shift to Sage Springfield's left!

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A figure was sent barreling across the Dark Void like a blazing comet, leaving a trail of blood.

GREY BLOOD!

Fragments of draconic scales littered everywhere in its wake. Wei Wuyin couldn't halt his momentum as pain swelled within his chest, his dragon armor had been destroyed, his flesh and bone sundered into oblivion as if they experienced a million harsh lashes, and his enlarged dragon heart was somewhat exposed!

"What an amusing trick," Sage Springfield whipped the whisk playfully as cleaned the flesh and blood from its hairs. "But I...can see your soul, Little Mortal. There's no hiding that."
