Chapter 658 – Miaomiao VS Sin of Pride
“What a waste of time.”
Miaomiao grumbled as he watched the plane crumble into dust. Another crystal ball appeared and was inserted into the third socket.
A wisp of Connate Qi entered Miaomiao’s dantian. Then, he sensed that something inside him changed.
A new stellar star emerged, but it appeared as a cube, just like what the gate had created to use as a battleground. Inside the cube, a lone room with a dungeon core was created at the center.
The core of the cubic stellar star was the core of the planet. The surface of the core displayed a million system menus, showing possible items that Miaomiao could purchase by using his Connate Qi.
As Miaomiao couldn’t generate Connate Qi with his mortal’s cultivation base, he ignored the shop for now.
He looked at the remaining protagonists.
Ling Tianlong, Lu Fengxian, Zhu Qiao, and Liu Bian stared at Miaomiao as if they were eager to fight him.
Miaomiao glanced at Liu Bian. He had a feeling that the gate would pick him next.
As Miaomiao had predicted, the eyeball narrated a story
“During your journey, you encountered Liu Bian after you ran into Brocell. Although Liu Bian had no backer, he bore a great fate that would bring Aves Continent Empire to a new age of Death and Carnage.”
The fireball eye teleported Miaomiao and Liu Bian to the new continent. Both men’s expressions turned solemn as they knew where they would appear.
As they had expected, they came to the Shadow Plane, where Twilight Qi was abundant.
However, there would be another combatant here.
The eyeball continued.
“When you fought Liu Bian, you implicated Lu Fengxian and made him fall out with the prince, thus changing the war god’s fate at the same time.”
WHOOSH
Lu Fengxian was also sent to the plane!
Miaomiao and the observers grimaced. They didn’t foresee this development, and they started sweating.
“From Liu Bian’s perspective, he had done nothing wrong in his life. He was born a prince, and he fought against the corrupted imperial court for the greater good. He wanted nothing more but the peace of his people even though he relied on evil arts. Yet, you, out of nowhere, tampered with Lu Fengxian’s future and made things difficult for Liu Bian.”
“…”
Miaomiao sighed and gazed at Liu Bian.
Liu Bian’s clone was no longer a teenager like before. He had grown into an adult, and he came in with his emperor’s gown and crown. His charisma and dignified aura were the same as other emperors in the past.
However, something was strange about him. He looked too relaxed that he appeared lazy and sleazy.
“Although it was not your fault, Liu Bian developed a great sin, which made him lazy and hindered his growth. He became the embodiment of Sloth.”
“Figured,” Miaomiao shook his head.
“But at the same time, you fed Lu Fengxian something that you shouldn’t have. It was the sense of superiority and pride.”
Miaomiao wryly smiled. He also predicted what Lu Fengxian represented.
“Lu Fengxian rode on your momentum and got absorbed in his glory. You made him the embodiment of Pride.”
“Yeah, I can tell.”
“And because you ruined their fates at the same time, they shall test you!”
“…”
The eyeball ended his narration and let the clones do his work.
Liu Bian yawned and summoned a throne of human bone. He sat down and leaned against the backrest.
RUMBLE
The plane trembled. Skeleton hands climbed up from the soil, and purple gas leaked out from the mountains. The gas gathered and formed a hundred fireballs.
Skeletons merged with the fireballs, and they gained sentient spirits. Liches were born. Death Knights appeared. Elder Lich spread his wings while countless skeleton golems emerged from the countless bones.
Everyone had the aura of a deity!
Lu Fengxian, on the other hand, hugged his chest and looked down on Miaomiao and the skeletons. He declared.
“Mao Miaomiao. If you can survive three moves, I’ll let you pass this test.”
Miaomiao was surprised, “How generous. Are you sure you’re that strong to give me that test?”
“You’ve underestimated me. Do you think Sun Wukong and Buddha only imparted their knowledge to me?”
“Hmm?”
Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. As Lu Fengxian’s clone might be one of the memory from the other timeline, his words might hold some truth.
Among one of the timelines that Miaomiao had seen, Lu Fengxian ascended to a pseudo sage and fought alongside Buddha and Sun Wukong. But before Lu Fengxian could become a sage, the Heavenly Dao sages and Devil screwed him up and reset the universe.
This clone might be the pseudo sage that failed to become a true sage!
Lu Fengxian descended and confronted Miaomiao. He summoned a lunar crescent halberd, and the spirit of Sun Wukong appeared, hovering behind Lu Fengxian.
Miaomiao’s expression turned dark.
“Two War Gods at once?”
“This is why I’m offering you a handicap. Bullying a mortal is unsightly, and we don’t want to degrade ourselves to that idiot’s level,” Lu Fengxian snorted and pointed at Ling Tianlong.
Ling Tianlong smirked, “I bet you all will fail, and I will have to come down there to kill Mao Miaomiao myself.”
Lu Fengxian turned around, “I know what you’re thinking. How about you come down here, and I’ll beat your ass like how my counterpart did in this timeline!”
“…”
Miaomiao looked back and forth between Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong with high hope. He cheered and cursed the two clones to fight each other and end this trial as soon as possible.
However, the eyeball shut down the dream.
“Two combatants are the limit of Constellation Meridian Gate Tribulation. Representatives of sins may not attack each other regardless of circumstances.”
“Tsk!” Ling Tianlong snorted.
Lu Fengxian also scoffed and turned to Miaomiao.
“Get ready. The first move will be deadly.”
Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. He set up the Death Sword Formation Array under his feet and got into a kendo stance once more.
WHOOSH
Lu Fengxian’s halberd flickered, but he didn’t move his feet an inch.
But Miaomiao could see the light speed halberd thrust, which came for his face. It carried the momentum of Halberd Providence Domain, Spear Element Providence Domain, Absolute Strike Providence Law, and thick Connate Qi.
He couldn’t dodge or parry it!
“TSK!”
Before the halberd could reach his face, Miaomiao pressed the stopwatch button by reflex.
Yet, the halberd was not slowing down.
“DAMMIT!”
Miaomiao bent his back with all his might and activated the Word Formation Array under him.
Impenetrable Fortress!
DING
The tip of the halberd Qi hit the thin barrier, which was a millimeter away from Miaomiao’s forehead. The aura and the Connate Qi of the halberd got through the barrier and peeled a layer of his skin.
After the first attack was stopped by the protective barrier, Lu Fengxian slightly shook his head in disappointment, “Don’t rely on the time domain. Xie Tian overly relied on it in my timeline, and I killed him and Devil before they could even utilize their other skills. Well, I ended up destroying my universe because of their death, though. Anyway, before I’m getting sidetracked, here is my second move.”
Before Miaomiao recover his battle stance, Lu Fengxian stomped the ground and thrust his halberd again.
This time, it was five times faster than the speed of light!
Yet, Miaomiao could still see the weapon coming for his chest. It instantly broke his Word Formation and pierced through his heart!
However, Miaomiao’s body vanished into smoke and reappeared five meters away from where he had stood. Though, he held his chest that had eaten the attack.
The gaping wound gushed blood, and Miaomiao’s body couldn’t heal the wound! The strike just now disabled some of Miaomiao’s regenerative power!
Lu Fengxian nodded, “You have escaped the Law of Soul Destruction before it killed you. Good reaction if I must say.”
Miaomiao’s face was ashen. He tried to buy time as he dispelled the unknown curse from his body and slowly healed his wound, “Tell me the truth. How strong were you when you fought Devil and Xie Tian?”
“I almost visited Jade Sage and injured him. I visited Virtuous Sage and forced him to abandon his palace. I went to Minghe’s Blood River, and he fled in fright. I visited Hundun for a fight, but that guy also fled after we fought for a decade. I was planning to find Kishin Douji for a friendly spar, but Devil tried to kill me, and I ended up destroying the universe because of his death.”
Miaomiao sweated profusely. He understood what kind of monster Lu Fengxian was.
He was an invincible type of protagonist! There was no way he would be suppressed forever among all 25 million timelines!
This version was his strongest!
“Third move, Mao Miaomiao. I will go all out with this attack. Be sure to survive, and I’ll concede.”
“…”
Miaomiao grounded his teeth and activated every type of Providence Domain he knew. Dao Avatars of 100,000 stellar stars appeared in the void and fed Miaomiao Providence Qi.
Lu Fengxian glanced at the Dao Avatars and faintly smiled. He muttered in a quiet voice.
“I envy your foundation. I wish I could play with you more and teach you many things I know so that I can make you my ideal sparring partner. Alas, fate is too cruel. We were born in a different timeline.”
Lu Fengxian and Sun Wukong combined as one. His lunar crescent halberd turned gold.
Killer Queen also screamed as she sensed the demise. She unleashed everything, including activating the Chaos Eater Domain to cancel some of Lu Fengxian’s Laws.
Miaomiao managed to heal his wounds within a split second. He shifted his stance into Sidewinder.
Lu Fengxian and Miaomiao vanished and swung their weapons at the same time!
CLANK!
Both men reappeared and switched locations. Yet, their pose showed that they had finished their attack motion.
SWUA
Miaomiao’s right shoulder was cleaved. His right arm, which was holding Killer Queen, dropped to the ground.
Meanwhile, Lu Fengxian returned to his ready posture unharmed. However, his weapon had a dent on the edge.
Lu Fengxian inspected the dent of his lunar crescent halberd’s blade. Sun Wukong’s spirit also came out to check it.
“He got you, Fengxian,” Sun Wukong smirked.
Lu Fengxian nodded, “He managed to deflect my attack at the last moment.”
Miaomiao slowly collapsed to the ground, panting and bleeding profusely. He commanded his Providence Qi to pull his severed shoulder to reattach it.
Just now, Lu Fengxian aimed for his soul core, and he missed it by five millimeters!
