Chapter 2521

Water Spectral Soul turned to face the split in the sky, his thousand arms rearing to go, a battle between two Lords of Sin was about to transpire as the amalgamation finished assimilating the last of the damned, and took 1 step out of the slit in the sky.

Before Qing Chou could completely step out, Spectral Soul already began his assault.

A thousand water shaped hands converged from his back, barreling towards the split in the sky.

But not to be outdone, Qing Chou clapped his hands together, and an equally massive barrage of skeletal hands emerged from his back, meeting the water hands head on!

The two forces clashed with one another, producing a shockwave that would have killed any mortal within the vicinity!

It was enough to even shake the 2 Venerables floating nearby.

"Should we help Qing Chou?" Giant Sun asked, preparing his strongest offensive Killer Moves.

Red Lotus was also on guard and prepared to strike,

"No." Star Constellation's voice came through, "We must use this opportunity to hunt down Wu Shuai!"

Indeed, the main reason for their entire operation was the death of Wu Shuai!

"This all part of Fang Yuan's plan to stall!" Star Constellation emphasised, "Stay focus on the mission."

The two Venerables stowed away their Killer Moves and nodded,

"Then should we head back to the Southern Border to chase after the 'Wu Shuai' in the Myriad Year Flying Warship?" Giant Sun suggested.

"Negative." Star Constellation replied, "I've finally managed to deduce that the Southern Border Wu Shuai is just a Will and Reputation Gu."

!!!

"Damnnit!" Giant Sun cursed, he felt like a fool for chasing after them for so long, "But why did my Luck Path point me towards them?"

"Because he was also using Cooking Luck Pot Gu to mislead you, because the main body is going through ascension it is releasing a blinding amount of luck, after all, the birth of a Dao Emperor is something that's only happened twice so far, it's an existence that surpasses any Venerbale's level of luck."

…

Giant Sun went silent as he comprehended the meaning behind Star Constellation's words,

"Even in my dominant Path of Luck Path, I have already been overtaken by Fang Yuan…"

It was a sobering reality for Giant Sun.

"Cheer up," Red Lotus pated him, "He's just abusing the work you put in and the resources you have, in terms of ingenuity you are still the progenitor of Luck Path."

"Thanks, I guess." Red Lotus's words sound empty and hollow to Giant Sun, a consolation prize rather than something to be proud of.

Giant Sun quickly shook it off, "It matters not, as long as we hold up our end of the battle, the other 2 Dao Emperor's will hold thiers and we'll be rid of Fang Yuan once and for all."

The two began to make their way toward the Western Desert.

Leaving behind the two titan-sized Lords of Sin in their battle.

"Shouldn't we be concerned over who the winner is?" Giant Sun asked, "Cause whoever wins will get another of the 7 Sin Gus?"

"Yes and no." Star Constellation responded, "I'm willing to bet that Fang Yuan has some sort of counter-measure against them, worst case scenario he wipes them out himself."

"Isn't that even more dangerous! Fang Yuan will have access to one of the most Powerful Daos if he can get all 7 Sin Gu, the Great Dao of Evil! It's strong enough to rival the might of the Primordial Daos, like Space and Time!" Red Lotus's eyes went wide in disbelief.

"Fear not," Star Constellation reassured, "The Gus of Sin cannot be refined like any normal Gu, no matter how high Fang Yuan's attainment, because they have absolutely no recipe, they manifestations of the state and emotions of the world and cannot be refined."

"Sure, with Fang Yuan's global devastation, there is probably enough to make another 1 or 2 Sin Gu, my deductions tell me that at least 1 more Sin Gu is almost complete."

"!!! Which one?" Both Giant Sun and Red Lotus were curious,"

Star Consetllation scratched her chin, "Well, I said 1 or 2 for a reason, it's because both are actively competing and preying on very similar emotions, they are none other than Greed and Envy, though Envy is currently ahead."

!!!

Greed and Envy shared very similar properties, but differ only at their roots, Greed manifests as a desire to hoard and have as much as possible, a result from the fear of loss.

But Envy is the manifestation of the desire to have what belongs to others, deriving from a lack of things.

And in the hostile and wasteland like environment Fang Yuan had produced, Envy was starting to take hold in the hearts of all man, whether human or demi-human!

Meanwhile,

In an empty void,

Surrounded by nothing but Chaos,

A lone figure sat,

It was of course none other than Fang Yuan!

He suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes, so black they seem to have an insatiable appetite to swallow even the void itself!

Staring back at him, was a glowing white Figure

"So you made it this far,", The figure took the same form and features as Fang Yuan, but every part of it was emanating White Light.

Fang Yuan instantly recognised the source of the Light,

"Order! Pure Order!"

If anyone else were to lay eyes on this scene they would feel a sense of reverence and desire to worship the Figure, but they would also only see the figure as a reflection of their form, exuding the same radiant whiteness.

"I've been expecting you," the Figure smiled and spoke.

The scene was made even more disturbing by the Figure's lack of eyes, nose, ears or any other facial features.

Fang Yuan smiled back, "As have I you."

"Oh?" the figure was still all smiles, "Do you know who I am?"

Fang Yuan nodded, "Of course, you are the culmination of Truth, the Will of Every being in existance, you are the Child of Heaven and Earth, you are the Heavenly Dao."

A row of unsettlingly pearly white teeth emerged as the figure's smile enlarged, "Correct!"
