Chapter 913: 339

"The essence of life..."

The Lord of Envy whispered along with the voice by his ear, then sneered, "Little Mage, how much of The Void have you seen to dare claim you know the essence of life?"

The Lord of Envy held Wayne’s presumptuous declaration in utter contempt, evolution wasn’t that easy. The Seven Demon Lords had been stuck for so many years, wracking their brains with no way to move forward, so what right did a Human Sorcerer from the Mortal World have to instruct him on evolution?

Today, he would stand here unmoving, and Wayne wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!

The Seven Deadly Sins were interconnected; each Demon Lord had their own Pride, and the Lord of Envy didn’t deign to prove himself to Wayne, hence he didn’t stay still.

He raised his five fingers, and the Seven Deadly Sins Melody transformed into Black Chains that stretched infinitely and grew larger, wrapping around five pale pillars like venomous snakes biting and constricting.

The Black Chains easily corroded the pale surface, slowly merging into it.

A piece of cake!

The Lord of Envy grew more contemptuous, but just as he prepared to spread Corruption to enlighten the little Mage, showing him what true Evolution looked like, he was shocked to find that the Seven Deadly Sins Melody that merged with the pale pillars had disappeared.

Gone in an instant, as if devoured.

The Lord of Envy’s expression turned serious, and he finally faced the Human Sorcerer who had teamed up with the Archangels. Given the opponent’s remarkable skill with The Void, he was certainly no ordinary Legendary Mage who had fallen into The Void.

A Demigod, maybe?

Didn’t look like it!

Something was amiss, and the Lord of Envy, suspecting Pride was setting him up once again, cautiously refrained from using the Seven Deadly Sins Melody against Wayne.

The overwhelming Darkness flowed from the Magic Sword, shaped by thought into monstrous serpents that devoured energy and matter. They opened their fanged maws wide, lunging toward the swiftly constricting pale pillars.

The deadlock continued; the Lord of Envy’s power was endless, and the pale hue also had the tendency to engulf everything. Neither side gained the upper hand in a direct confrontation.

This made the Lord of Envy glance sideways repeatedly, his view of Wayne shifting from initial disdain to serious recognition.

The noise of crashing waves—

The five pillars propped up Heaven and Earth, and overhead, the Dark Dome had somehow been covered in a pale color. A light shower of white raindrops fell, evaporating upon touching the Darkness near the Lord of Envy, due to the powerful energy.

But as the downpour grew fiercer, the white rain gradually extinguished the protective energies, making contact with the Lord of Envy’s body.

This body was a construct of his thought, created from energy and matter reorganized by a powerful mind into a shell of flesh and blood.

In essence, it was the Lord of Envy’s thought.

Pale descent, Corruption spreading in an instant.

The Lord of Envy raised one hand, looking at the increasingly pale palm while murmuring to himself in surprise and bewilderment, his expression extremely complex.

This indeed was a possibility for evolution, although the path ahead was fraught with dangers, perhaps already blocked, with the slightest carelessness leading to downfall and death. Yet without a doubt, the path to evolution that Wayne was exploring seemed more promising than his own.

Envy!

The Lord of Envy felt a surge of intense Envy!

His gaze turned icy, and his killing intent boiled over as he looked to the high skies, severing the contaminated thought with his own hands, tearing it to shreds.

A massive wave of Dark Light emanated from within, keeping the pale intrusion at bay, and rejecting the endless, nagging whispers.

You’re right, but I simply won’t listen!

Compared to the Dark Goddess, who was willing to try more possibilities and was grounded in reality, the Lord of Envy was much more Prideful, seeing Wayne’s enthusiastic demonstration of the evolutionary path as an insult to himself.

In that instant, murderous intent soared.

Black fissures tore open the Pale Dome, and the Lord of Envy, wrapped in boundless Darkness, burst out of the pale prison. Locking his dark eyes on Wayne, he closed the distance in an instant, his hand wielding the Dark Magic Sword, sweeping horizontally in an attack.

Pale blades blocked the Dark Magic Sword, resulting in a shockwave that vibrated through the Gates of Heaven’s seals, affecting the celestial events on the outside.

This ushered in rolling dark clouds, countless flashes of lightning darted back and forth within the clouds.

The brooding sky churned with whirlpool currents, resembling an ocean flipped upside down, ready at any moment to pour down from the heavens to earth.

Umr found it increasingly difficult to hold on; although no one was targeting her, she could not withstand this frenzied energy, which exceeded what she could handle in the Mortal World.

Especially the growing aura of grim killing intent pressed deep into her soul, making it harder for her to breathe. The scene before her eyes shifted from colorful to gray and then to all white, as if she was glimpsing Heaven.

The heavens thundered!

Above, Darkness and Pale intertwined, blades cleaving and creating waves of startling magnitudes, layer upon layer of sword movements compressing energy, warping the surrounding space until it completely collapsed.

Dark spatial rifts, out of control, couldn’t heal until the two figures had moved away. As the rifts contracted, they also erased the existence of matter in that space, crushing it into the purest form of energy, which scattered randomly to the ends of the world.

The clash of steel resounded.

Having fought for an extended period without gaining the upper hand, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Envy, "Human, speak your name."

"Sand Sculpture!"

"Good name."

"..."

Wayne tasted his own medicine. His hands transformed into blades, and with a mind divided into two tasks, he executed the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique. As the Lord of Envy hustled to defend, four tentacles burst forth from behind, binding the Lord of Envy’s limbs.

The Lord of Envy sneered contemptuously and suddenly withdrew. With his vast combat experience, the chance of a frontal assault ending in a sneak attack was extremely slim.

The Great Eyeball suddenly glared at the Lord of Envy, the chaotic whispers causing his scalp to tingle. In a sudden explosion, the Lord of Envy’s body stiffened momentarily.

That was enough!

The four tentacles entangled the Lord of Envy’s limbs, and Wayne rushed forward, his dual blades aiming for the Lord of Envy’s face and chest.
