Chapter 529 – Death of Gluttony, Fall of Avarice!
by spirapiraAfter notifying Qingyunzi, Su Xing left the Azure Cloud Realm and headed to a concealed patch of void.
Then, with the aid of his Spirit Domain, Su Xing bolstered the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny before deploying it to shroud the karmic secrets.
He then used his spatial Dao to seal off the surrounding space.
Only after completing these preparations did Su Xing shift into his lesser demon disguise identity.
“Heh heh… using Red Moon’s Death law as bait!”
“Let’s see whether or not you two take the hook…”
A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Su Xing’s mouth.
Yet he didn’t directly enter the divine domain to contact those two chief gods.
Instead, he activated the simulator and began preparations for a new simulation.
“This is too important. I should simulate it first…”
Su Xing silently chanted:
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #481 initiated. Remaining world origin: 31,062 points. Origin energy: 660,000 points. 1 simulation opportunity!】
【Please select simulation mode: Simulate Future, time reversal, Comprehend Time.】
“Simulate Future!” Su Xing chanted silently.
…
Moments later, the simulation ended.
Su Xing’s aura surged upward by another small increment…
“The realm of Great Firmament Golden Immortal Perfection… is getting closer and closer!”
“Since the plan went smoothly in the simulation… then it’s time to begin!”
With that thought, Su Xing’s mind stirred as his consciousness connected to the divine domain.
He quickly located two presences and sent a rapid message:
“Lord Gluttony (Lord Desire), something terrible has happened!”
“It seems Red Moon was ambushed by His own son—He’s gravely wounded and on the verge of death…”
“I’m currently at…”
Moments later, Su Xing closed the message, reverted to his true form, and the corners of his mouth curled upward.
“The hook has been cast. Now I just wait for the fish to bite…”
…
At the same time, across countless stretches of void, within the Void Realm, two chief gods simultaneously received Su Xing’s transmitted message.
“Is… is this real? Red Moon is truly done for?”
“What an opportunity! The Death law!”
The Lord of the Talongs, enormous in stature, now had both mountain-sized eyeballs burning crimson red.
Clearly, faced with this sudden windfall—the Death law—He had already lost His composure.
Compared to the nearly maddened Lord of the Talongs, the Tu’nah Chief God beside him appeared far more composed.
Yet His slightly trembling hands already betrayed the turmoil within.
“What’s the rush? Since when does good fortune just fall from the sky?”
“Hmph… the Death law—this is almost certainly a trap!”
“If Red Moon were truly on the verge of death… would it even be our turn to act? Given how greedy the Lord of the Lesser Demons is, wouldn’t He have made His own move?”
Hearing the Tu’nah Chief God’s words, the Talong Chief God came back to his senses.
Even so, his pair of eyes remained bloodshot, unable to conceal the desire in his heart. “Then… then what do we do? Just let this duck fly off right before our eyes?”
The Tu’nah Chief God sneered at the sight.
“What’s the rush? I didn’t say we wouldn’t go!”
“It’s just that there are certain risks… we need to prepare in advance!”
With that, the Tu’nah Chief God fell silent, mysterious Power of Laws flickering ceaselessly around His body.
The Tuna Tribe excelled most at the laws of causality and the Laws of Destiny—they were one of the rare high-intelligence races among the foreign races.
And the Tu’nah Chief God was a master of this Dao.
He and the Talong Chief God had cooperated for tens of millions of years—one supplying the brains, the other the brawn—their combined strength not to be underestimated.
Now, facing such enormous temptation, the Tu’nah Chief God chose divination first.
However, no matter how many times the Tu’nah Chief God divined—dozens of attempts in all—
The result was always the same…
It was as if an immense fog shrouded the future, allowing only the faintest glimpse.
Perhaps a tremendous opportunity, or perhaps mortal danger…
Repeated divinations yielded identical results.
“Fortune and calamity, intertwined…”
The Tu’nah Chief God narrowed His eyes, His massive head concealing whatever thoughts churned within.
In truth, this divination result was within His expectations.
This was the Death law! A supreme law!
Who would believe such a monumental opportunity came without risk?
The more inscrutable and ambiguous the result, the more authentic it seemed!
“So… should I go or not?”
A profound flash of desire crossed the Tu’nah Chief God’s eyes.
He had been stuck at the chief god realm for tens of millions of years!
How could He not yearn to take one step further?
And let us not forget… He was one of the Seven Deadly Sins—Avarice!
No matter how great His wisdom, under the weight of such overwhelming greed, He would risk it this once!
“At worst… I simply fail to seize the Death law…”
The Tu’nah Chief God had thought it through clearly. With His level of power, there were very few beings in existence that could threaten His life.
“Besides… there’s still this fool…”
The Tu’nah Chief God glanced at the Lord of the Talongs beside Him, feeling somewhat reassured.
…
On the other side, Su Xing contacted Qingyunzi and together they ventured into the Endless Abyss, concealing their auras and waiting in silence.
Su Xing naturally knew that his fishing scheme had some holes.
But in fishing, even when the fish knows there’s a hook, it still can’t resist biting.
Because the bait was enticing enough!
And this time, the Death law was the perfect bait!
A chance to achieve Sovereign status!
Even though the Tu’nah Chief God was clever, His greed was likely the strongest of all…
“Moreover, this has to happen quickly… this trick can only be used once!”
“If news of Red Moon’s death is later announced to all the foreign races by that existence, it won’t work anymore…”
Su Xing was also exploiting a time gap.
And so, for the next week, Su Xing and Qingyunzi waited quietly atop this Endless Abyss.
Red Moon’s aura lingered here, lending greater authenticity.
During this time, Su Xing ran one more simulation to further boost his strength.
He kept just one simulation opportunity in reserve for emergencies.
Until, one week later…
In the endless void, above the vast Endless Abyss.
Su Xing’s eyes snapped open as he murmured:
“They’re here!”
Immediately, mysterious spatial fluctuations rippled across Su Xing’s body.
…
At the same time, two enormous silhouettes appeared near the Endless Abyss.
“It really is… the Endless Abyss! Red Moon’s domain…”
The Tu’nah Chief God’s breathing quickened by three measures as He glanced at the Lord of the Talongs beside Him.
“But why is there no trace of Red Moon’s aura?”
Just as the Tu’nah Chief God was puzzling over this, Su Xing’s voice rang out through the void.
“Tsk tsk, two chief gods descending at once… how truly unexpected!”
“I wonder what you’re looking for… could it perhaps be this?”
Su Xing’s figure flickered as he appeared in the void.
In his hand swirled a mass of black, mysterious energy.
“The Death law!”
The Tu’nah Chief God’s eyes turned crimson instantly.
He had originally come with a tentative mindset, yet never expected… the Death law was actually real!
But how could the Death law end up in this human’s hands?
In just an instant, the Tu’nah Chief God pieced it together.
“Heh heh, Red Moon must have died at your hands.”
“And that Lord of the Lesser Demons who sent the message… is also dead?”
At this, a sinister edge crept into the Tu’nah Chief God’s voice.
“But you really do have some nerve!”
“What exactly gave you the confidence… to dare use the Death law as bait to lure two chief gods?!”
Su Xing smiled wordlessly upon hearing this, as though silently confirming the Tu’nah Chief God’s speculation.
“Senior Qingyun, I’ll have to trouble you to handle this Tu’nah Chief God…”
“As for the stupid dragon beside him, leave him to me…”
As Su Xing’s words fell, Qingyunzi appeared at his side.
“Fellow Daoist Su, such skill and such audacity!”
“Very well then—this Poor Monk shall accompany you on this venture…”
Seeing Su Xing and Qingyunzi—two Great Firmament Golden Immortals—the Tu’nah Chief God was inwardly startled.
But His greedy gaze still fixed on the fragment of divinity imbued with the Death law in Su Xing’s hand.
Even knowing it was a trap, the Tu’nah Chief God couldn’t bring Himself to leave…
And so, battle erupted!
In combat at the apex, when both sides were evenly matched, the typical pattern was to first probe and assess the opponent’s techniques, then slowly whittle each other down through prolonged fighting before a victor could emerge.
This was exactly the strategy the Tu’nah and Talong Chief Gods had planned.
But Su Xing had no intention of dragging things out!
His only thought was to slay these two chief gods as quickly as possible!
After all, from his years undercover among the foreign races, combined with the probing he’d done in previous simulations, Su Xing already knew the full extent of these two chief gods’ abilities.
“Killing both of them will be somewhat difficult… but not a major problem!”
Su Xing thought to himself before swiftly engaging the Talong Chief God in a ferocious melee.
With Su Xing’s power, he was confident he could slay either the Talong Chief God or the Tu’nah Chief God.
But what concerned Su Xing was Qingyunzi.
Comparatively, the Talong Chief God possessed immense physical strength and a formidable body, along with a terrifying Devouring law.
He could devour all things in existence and grow stronger from it…
Qingyunzi would have a harder time against him, and might even get injured if he wasn’t careful.
After all, the Talong Chief God—a foreign race with such a powerful physique—was a natural counter to cultivators like Qingyunzi who focused solely on Qi Refinement.
Battle erupted!
Following Su Xing’s plan, Qingyunzi deployed One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.
Two avatars equivalent to Great Firmament Golden Immortals struck simultaneously, maintaining steady suppression over the Tu’nah Chief God.
Seeing that Qingyunzi’s side was under control, Su Xing could finally let loose and fight all-out.
This battle lasted a full six months!
The Talong Chief God was not as easy to kill as Red Moon.
After all, Red Moon’s home turf was the Endless Abyss—He couldn’t move freely there.
His greatest strengths were the laws of slaughter and death… and having been recently revived, His divine power hadn’t yet returned to its peak.
But the Talong Chief God before him was, without question, a true peak-level chief god.
That body’s raw power and physical resilience were hardly inferior to Su Xing’s own.
Especially since the Talong Chief God’s primary law was… the Devouring law!
Though not a supreme law, it fell short by only half a tier.
The Devouring law at the seventh realm Peak could seemingly devour all things in existence!
Combined with a body as vast as a world itself—who could deny this was an apocalyptic beast capable of destroying heaven and earth?
But unfortunately… he had encountered Su Xing!
To fight the Talong Chief God, Su Xing wasted no time and activated heaven-and-earth manifestation, transforming into the towering form of a Wu Clan giant.
Eight million eight hundred eighty thousand zhang (29,570.4 km) tall! Like a world unto himself!
Though his figure was still dwarfed by the Talong Chief God’s, Su Xing’s raw power was in no way inferior.
And in battle against the Talong Chief God, the simplest and most brutal approach was naturally close-quarters combat!
With Su Xing’s physical strength combined with primordial energy, even the Talong Chief God would be wounded by a single punch.
From there, Su Xing began wearing down the Talong Chief God’s life force and aura.
If a foreign race chief god were likened to a boss with an extraordinarily long health bar, then the Talong Chief God was undoubtedly the tankiest boss of them all.
His life force and unique racial advantages gave him defense and aura intensity that exceeded Red Moon’s by dozens of times over!
Even trading blow for blow, Su Xing held only a slight advantage.
But fortunately, Su Xing had come prepared. The Great Shaman Body Forging Art provided him with powerful qi and blood that were virtually inexhaustible.
Not even the Talong Clan could compare.
Even so, Su Xing spent a full three months before whittling the Talong Chief God’s life force below the halfway mark.
After a hundred consecutive days of high-intensity combat, Su Xing had been continuously expending supernatural arts and primordial energy, yet his fighting spirit remained as fierce as ever.
The Talong Chief God, by contrast—famous for his endurance in prolonged battles—had already seen his aura deteriorate substantially.
By the fourth month of battle, the Talong Chief God’s aura had dwindled to a mere twenty or thirty percent.
At this point, the Talong Chief God was already contemplating retreat!
But how could Su Xing let him have his way?
Long before the two chief gods arrived, Su Xing had already laid an inescapable net.
Now, his eighth realm spatial Dao sealed off all space within a million li (500,000 km).
Even a chief god couldn’t escape through the power of space.
With the Talong Chief God’s life force severely depleted, the rest was straightforward.
In the end, Su Xing used his strongest killing technique.
Myriad Laws World-Ending Thunder!
Combined with No Martial Virtue and the Spirit Domain talent, he claimed the Talong Chief God’s life!
And so, the Lord of Gluttony of the Seven Deadly Sins, chief god of the Talong Clan, perished!
After the Talong Chief God’s death, Su Xing swiftly stored the corpse in his spirit field grotto-heaven, sealed the divinity and godhood, then turned his gaze toward the Tu’nah Chief God nearby.
At this moment, the Tu’nah Chief God was already trembling from that single glance.
As a fellow member of the Seven Deadly Sins and an ally of many years—
How could He not know the Lord of Gluttony’s true strength?
Among the Seven Deadly Sins, not a single chief god possessed the power to kill the Lord of Gluttony!
Not even Slaughter was an exception…
And yet this incomparably powerful chief god, whose physical body was said to be capable of smashing through the Greater World itself—
Had just been killed before His very eyes, bit by bit, by this human!
As early as three months ago, the Tu’nah Chief God had sensed something was wrong and tried to flee.
But Qingyunzi was no pushover. The two One Qi Transforms into Three Purities avatars working in tandem might not have been able to defeat Him, but they left the Tu’nah Chief God with no avenue of escape!
On top of that, Su Xing had long since sealed the surrounding space, plunging the Tu’nah Chief God into even deeper despair!
And now, with this ruthless being who had slain the Lord of the Talongs finally free, His time of death had naturally arrived!
“No! I won’t die!”
“I will become the head of the Seven Deadly Sins… the supreme Sovereign!”
In His final moments, the Tu’nah Chief God launched a desperate counterattack…
Su Xing showed no mercy. He swallowed a pill—refined from supreme treasures gathered in the Ninth Heaven—that could rapidly restore his primordial energy.
Then, a torrent of primordial energy surged forth, crashing toward the Tu’nah Chief God!
One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws!
The Tu’nah Chief God’s techniques were far more insidious than the Talong Chief God’s.
In a direct confrontation, the Tu’nah Chief God would stand no chance…
But given time to prepare, on His own turf, even Su Xing might have suffered!
Because the laws the Tu’nah Chief God commanded were the most mysterious of all—
The laws of causality and the Laws of Destiny!
Su Xing unleashed hundreds of punches in rapid succession, terrifying primordial energy pouring forth.
Yet every strike was strangely unraveled, dissipating into the void.
“Hm? Reversing karma… reversing my attacks?”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. As a fellow master of karmic power, he instantly recognized what was happening.
“Heh, let’s see how many times you can reverse this…”
Su Xing snorted coldly, holding nothing back as he continued his onslaught of pure primordial energy punches.
Reversing karma—especially against Su Xing’s attacks imbued with One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws—naturally demanded enormous expenditure!
Even so, the Tu’nah Chief God’s mastery of the laws of causality exceeded Su Xing’s expectations.
For seven full days and nights, not a single one of Su Xing’s attacks managed to so much as scratch the Tu’nah Chief God!
Every last one had been reversed by karmic power…
But on the eighth day, the Tu’nah Chief God’s laws of causality were finally exhausted!
Once the laws of causality were spent, the Tu’nah Chief God naturally had no room left to resist.
In the end, it took only a single day—Su Xing didn’t even need to play his trump cards—to slay the Tu’nah Chief God!
And so, two of the Seven Deadly Sins fell.
The Lord of Gluttony. The Lord of Avarice. Dead!
