Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1528 Chapter 1521: Rising Era, Neo-Dawn (1)

The commotion outside the Ancient Sealed Regions went unnoticed as the worlds within remained unaffected. However, the intensity of each aura and fluctuation of Spiritual Strength was clearly reflected in Wei Wuyin's pupils as waves of multicolored pulsating waves. It gave his silver eyes a uniquely gorgeous and visually stimulating appearance.

The group of women were all engrossed in their own thoughts. Hu Meifang particularly was slack-jawed and her enchanting body shook as her mind was overwhelmed by Wei Wuyin's divine-like figure as the Void Wyrm obediently bowed to its newfound master. She was unable to even conceive the significance of Wei Wuyin's actions, only that it was not only extraordinary to the apex but outrageously defying the absolute laws of the Ascended Sovereigns.

"He just robbed the Ascended Sovereigns!"

There were no two ways to look at this! Wei Wuyin had taken control over the Endless Void Mirror, a Heavenly Treasure of great repute, and grasped complete and total control. While she might not have the exquisite know-how of Zhangjie Wushu, she was a Silver Moon Librarian, her intelligence, breadth of knowledge, and experience were greater than some Original Magistrates, those who had Heavenly Saint Phase cultivation bases!

She gulped heavily, ignoring the stifled sobs of Tian Xiaocheng and the disbelieving exclamations from Liu Yinlan as she stammered uncontrollably, not befitting the prestigious image of a World Emperor!

Zhangjie Wushu's thoughts were the most rapid and clearest out of the group, and she instantly went on guard, her Mystic Aura projected silently around her as she stared at the vast starry skies as if expecting something. Anyone could guess what!

She was expecting swift retaliation! Hu Meifang's thoughts were not wrong in the slightest. Wei Wuyin's brazen actions were tantamount to robbing the Ascended Sovereigns of their Heavenly Treasure! She knew that individuals of their level wouldn't stand for such an outcome and would certainly act to reclaim what was taken.

As she prepared herself, waiting for the Endless Void Mirror to be breached with a long-range Spiritual Transmission Talisman to send word to the Zhangjie Clan, several seconds passed calmly. She felt a look on her tensed body and turned to see Wei Wuyin holding Liu Suyin in a bridal carry. There was a faint grin of amusement on his face. For the first time in a long time, she felt a little embarrassed and seen through.

Since several seconds had already come and gone, and given the strength and mysterious powers of the Ascended Sovereigns, they should have long since acted. To Ascended beings of their level, a mortal second was enough to destroy several large-sized starfields or do many, many things.

"It seems I've thought too much," Zhangjie Wushu said with an embarrassed smile.

"Better to think too much than too little in some situations. But in this one, it's better to not think too much alone. If you want, I'm willing to assist you." Wei Wuyin's words brought Zhangjie Wushu back as she recalled his invitation to an Enlightened Discussion. She gave him a long look.

"You're a mortal. So it'll be a little difficult, no?" She replied.

Wei Wuyin's eyes brightened considerably with an excited and expectant light. If it was a simple normal Enlightened Discussion, Zhangjie Wushu's words were unnecessarily said, but given the situation, this was no different than alluding to a potential 'Dao Discussion'.

Ohn.

Wei Wuyin's arm stung and the back of his neck felt a prick.

Tian Xiaocheng tried to control her emotions. Given the situation and everything she had experienced in these last few days, she didn't have the will to fight. Tian Taizong was dead or worse. Meanwhile, Wei Wuyin hadn't just solidified his position as the ruler of this world, but he made sure everyone and their mothers knew. Controlling the Void Wyrm was a sign of his complete dominion over everything she could see and things she couldn't even involve herself in, such as the Stellar Nest.

The Tian Clan's Imperial status was eradicated and there was no hope of regaining it. If not for Tian Lingyu, the Tian Clan might have been eliminated by Wei Wuyin to push through the Neo-Dawn Defiance Era. However, knowing that Tian Xiaolu, the amazing young woman that she carried in her womb for months and raised as her own daughter, was no longer a piece to be sacrificed had eased her heart considerably.

She no longer had a home. She no longer had anything to worry about with Tian Xiaolu beyond this cage of a world, safe from all those who wished ill on her here. After her emotions settled, she felt lost.

What now?

Her beautiful gaze lingered on Wei Wuyin.

Ohn!

Wei Wuyin's arm and neck felt as if a nail had been placed on his bones.

Liu Yinlan had confirmed several times that her oaths were dissipating or had dissipated. She was no longer bound by them. She was...free. Just like Tian Xiaocheng, she, too, was lost. Tian Taizong was dead. The Endless Voyage Realm was gone. The oaths binding her rights to exist freely were nullified. Her sister was safe and sound.

Liu Yinlan didn't care about the Blood Clone that was Tian Xiaolu or their plans. She already had an idea of her sister's intentions, and while she was slightly hurt, she didn't even have time to let that pain fester before Wei Wuyin destroyed the possibility and ended any attempts at betrayal in an instant. All her sister's schemes were eradicated in a mere moment and a single act from Wei Wuyin.

She couldn't help but think that all her wants and desires in this world were fulfilled by a single individual. Moreover, this individual...her thoughts recalled that passionate night and moved to find Wei Wuyin holding Liu Suyin with the gentleness of a lover. Her heart raced as she faintly recalled her dream as she stood outside Wei Wuyin's door with a Mortal Returning Pellet, resolving herself to step forth.

Ohn!!

The feeling escalated as a hammer slammed into the nail, piercing his bones and mind. Wei Wuyin's bright eyes dimmed as he moved his gaze toward his right arm once more.

Liu Xiulan felt almost as lost as everyone else. She spent twenty thousand years of planning all for the sake of escaping for better pastures. It all began years and years ago after a chaotic time of death and destruction when a young man of astonishing strength rose to the absolute limits of cultivation and dominated the world.

She learned the truth.

This world was a cage; this world was a game. A mere game for a few beings of unfathomable strength and their cultivations and future prospects were limited. She worked so hard to survive and had peerless talent lauded by all during her day, often seen as a tyrannical force and a formidable figure. She led the Liu Clan and served under Tian Taizong to dominate the world.

After so many years, with the assistance of Tian Taizong, she reached the Earthly Saint Phase. The world had thought that back then she had slaughtered her way into the Tian Clan to lead a rebellion but that was only a facade. A false representation of events.

Tian Taizong and she plotted against the world. Liu Yinlan was abnormally talented in the prospects of space and time, but given the disposition of the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master then, she would never be given a chance at entering the Endless Voyage Realm given the Liu Clan's relationship with Tian Taizong, someone that the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master saw as a scourge and competitor, especially given his job wqd to prevent those like Tian Taizong who were mere game pieces from winning the game as a type of neutral party.

After orchestrating a false coup, she was imprisoned while the Liu Clan was openly humiliated and devastated. The Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master saw Liu Yinlan's beauty and talent and wanted her as an elusive mistress hidden from his wife, a member of the Zhangjie Clan. While she wouldn't be allowed to be a high-ranking member of the Void Voyage Sect, she was classified as a Destined. She had to, given she wanted revenge and to 'free' her sister.

Her joining meant the previous Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master would prevent the Liu Clan from being destroyed as a way to show 'favoritism' to Liu Yinlan, his new hidden mistress. However, after Liu Yinlan was inducted as a member, Tian Taizong set up a meeting and directly killed the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master before Liu Yinlan's position as a mistress could be exposed! She was now only a Destined.

This brought about substantial consequences as the Zhangjie Clan acted. While the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master wasn't a lineage member of the Zhangjie Clan, he was still married to one! As such, Tian Taizong was imprisoned on a throne by the Zhangjie Clan. This only showcased the strength of the Zhangjie Clan in the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone if they could involve themselves here!

The core plan was to have Liu Yinlan become the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master and attach her bloodline to the Endless Void Mirror, then use a bloodline clone to create an opening, and escape for greater pastures. This was a plan with twenty thousand years in the making from two that sought to escape the game and leave this cage.

They had succeeded too! It took a long time to properly create an exact Bloodline Clone of Liu Yinlan but it worked! Tian Xiaolu was born thanks to Tian Xiaocheng's unique physique making her a great yin cauldron for certain methods, especially the cultivation and growth of a bloodline clone. It was great that she also had vast Alchemic Talent and could seize the legacy of the King of Everlore before her sacrifice.

With that, Tian Dingjian, Tian Taizong, the Rainbow World Starfield's Xia Jia, herself, and a few others would make their escape out of this cage without anyone knowing! Xia Jia was a strange woman, but she allowed Tian Xiaolu to cultivate a very unique, ancient method that involved pursuing multiple paths, and she assisted heavily in the construction of a Bloodline Clone and elevated Tian Xiaolu's potential of seizing the King of Everlore's legacy in the Everclash.

In the end, they would stage a grand battle after Tian Taizong declared a new replacement for himself to continue acting as a pawn in this game. Unbeknownst to Liu Xiulan, this was the chaotic period that San Yongli died in as the Aeternal Sky Divine Emperor had mysteriously decided to launch a battle for the throne that laid waste to the majority of the world, including causing her to lose her life.

Liu Xiulan heaved a heavy sigh after thinking of all the planning and schemes ruined. Her desires and goals had been shattered in an instant.

However, as she felt down, her mind received a spark. Didn't Wei Wuyin say that he could leave anytime he wanted? That it was as easy as a single breath on his part? She was always conniving, and she didn't dare to abolish this aspect of herself, especially given the chaotic period she grew up in that required her to be smart, vicious, and willing to do anything to gain an advantage. The things she'd done for resources, the betrayals she acted out, the plans that ruined entire populations, and the number of lives claimed by her would put many Evil Cultivators to shame.

But that was true for most who were born and rose to prominence during the Dark Stars Era before Tian Taizong's dominance. Especially as a beautiful woman with outstanding talent who was only somewhat inferior to Tian Taizong. She protected her younger sister and gave her a peaceful life in a world beyond this cage, and that was enough for her to maintain what little humanity she had left. It was only because she reasoned that Liu Yinlan would reach greater heights than she ever could here that she was willing to plot against her sister and use her as a tool.

Look at her now.

She was a prestigious World Emperor with exceptional powers. Moreover, she was now free to use that power as she wanted now that her oaths were removed. Her only obligation with her Worldly Saint Phase cultivation base was to herself. So she didn't feel guilty at all.

Her eyes landed on Wei Wuyin.

Ohn!!!

It was as if a gigantic hammer smashed against the nail's head, piercing all the way through his bones and mind. Wei Wuyin stifled his grimace as his gaze never left his right arm. Using the ambient mana, Wei Wuyin gently lifted his sleeve as he revealed his right arm and the Bloodline of Sin's tattoo.

Hu Meifang's daze slowly came to an end as she moved her sparkling gaze onto Wei Wuyin's tall figure. He seemed taller than anyone she'd ever seen before. Her eyes were filled with boundless interest and unsurpassed reverence.

First Calamity: Survived - 7/7.

Second Calamity: Claimed - 1/1.

Third Calamity: Claimed - 3/3.

Fourth Calamity: Suppressed - 18 Years.

There was no longer any representation of Karmic Luck Value.

Instead, he saw a new line that he'd never seen before.

Rite of Sin: Lust of Body, Lust of Freedom, Lust of Idolatry, Lust of Knowledge, Lust of Love, Lust of Hope, & Lust of Depravity - Fulfilled.

Seven types of lust and the Bloodline of Sin tattoo listed them all at once alongside the final word: "Fulfilled."

"What is this?"

Just as those words left his lips, his pupils constricted as he lifted his gaze after four synchronized warnings from his Astral Souls.

The world had halted.

Standing before him was a skeleton of pure blackness of a female garbed in pristinely white robes that hugged shockingly well to her bony figure.

The Black Skeleton!

[Author's Note: Sin of Lust?!

WHAT?! Our boy is the Sin of Pride! (Coughs). Maybe?

So Wei Wuyin's merry-go-round of collecting beautiful women paid off? XD I kid, I kid. It's definitely not that simple. Or is it?]
