Fengdu, part of the Immortal Land.
A group of experts invaded the secret base of the Deadly Sins, slaughtering everyone they encountered within its confines.
The surge of energy was immense, causing the ground to tremble. Cities and villages nearby couldn’t help but turn their gazes toward the source of the disturbance.
Bang!!
A man in a white robe pulled his sword from the body of a skinny man draped in a red cloak. Ugh!
The skinny man collapsed to the ground, blood spilling from his wounds and forming a small pool.
“Pest,” the man in the white robe said with disgust.
They had received information about a Deadly Sin base in this location. Wasting no time, they launched their assault, showing no mercy as they slaughtered everyone in their path. Suddenly, the skinny man on the floor opened his eyes, rolling them back into his head. “Ehehehe, it’s too late… It’s complete.” A chilling voice escaped his lips.
“Complete?! Don’t tell me…” The man in the white robe widened his eyes in horror.
In an instant, darkness enveloped the entire area, spreading out from the base and covering several kilometers.
A magic circle glowed ominously within the shadows, emitting a dangerously powerful energy.
The man and his comrades felt goosebumps creep across their bodies. They tried to move, but no matter how hard they struggled, they found themselves immobilized.
Eerie sounds echoed as countless red eyes flickered to life within the darkness, revealing rows of razor-like teeth.
“Oh, Great Lord, please destroy everything! Burn the world!”
The creepy laughter of the man echoed through the air.
“BARE WITNESS!!”
His body quickly desiccated, all signs of life vanishing from him. He was the catalyst; his death had triggered this erratic spell.
Ohm!
A figure began to materialize from the magic circle.
The man in the white robe and the other experts who had raided the place felt a chilling fear grip their hearts. They wanted to scream, to shout warnings, but no sounds escaped their lips. “Die.”
A low voice echoed as the eyes in the darkness shifted. The razor-sharp teeth engulfed everyone in an instant.
It was swift.
The warriors perished, leaving nothing behind.
Swoosh!!
Several dozen kilometers away, a massive city named Fengdu stood tall.
This city, named after the land, had a population of over thirty million and housed countless powerful experts. The area was governed by a group known as the Cult of the Great Divine Beast.
The Cult of the Great Divine Beast worshipped the four divine beasts: Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger.
At this moment, nearly everyone in the city turned their heads, sensing the intense vibrations in the air.
“W-What is this?!”
“Can you feel it?”
“I have a bad feeling! I don’t know why!”
Even several dozen kilometers away from the impact, they could sense the energy fluctuations. The distance only heightened their anxiety, indicating that the source of this disturbance was nothing ordinary.
Immediately, the Cult of the Great Divine Beast deployed countless experts, showcasing the might of Fengdu City.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors moved out, either flying or riding on various artifacts. Their momentum was imposing.
At the forefront stood four powerful figures, their energies overshadowing the entire army.
Soon, the army arrived at a devastated landscape. The atmosphere crackled with violent energy, and darkness swirled ominously across the ground.
Countless experts felt a heavy gloom settle over them as they beheld such a scene.
On the ground, a man sat on a rock. He had dark brown hair and wore a dark robe with fur lining the collar. The intense energy surrounding him distorted their vision, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
Swoosh!!
The four leading experts descended, their gazes fixed on the unknown man.
“Gluttony…”
Indeed, the man before them was the Ruler of Gluttony, Esquin Georagnisus-the one who had ignited this war.
Esquin slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the four entities before him. He muttered, “Four divine beasts. I’ve heard your names before. It’s truly something else to meet you in
person.”
The four experts silently agreed with his words. They were the four divine beasts that ruled over the entire Fengdu Land.
Four Monster Lords, in the flesh.
Esquin leaned back, resting his chin on his hand. A smile formed on his face as he said, “Just to make sure, in case I’m wrong, I need your answer… What did you four come here for?”
A woman with striking red hair and red eyes stepped forward. “Of course, to stop you. You will not be able to do what you want here.”
The other three stood firmly by her side, united in their resolve. They wouldn’t allow Gluttony to act with impunity in their territory.
Fengdu Land was under their protection, and they would defend it at all costs.
“I’m disappointed,” Esquin replied, standing up. The ground began to tremble as his energy radiated outward. Within the shadows, countless eyes opened, fixated on the four Monster
Lords.
In an instant, Esquin vanished from his position, while the four Monster Lords unleashed a powerful aura, their forms transforming into gigantic, monstrous entities.
Boom!!
The sky and land vibrated as a powerful shockwave swept outward. Every living creature in Fengdu Land felt its intensity.
Panic spread rapidly.
Not a single person could fully grasp the speed of the beings that stood at the pinnacle of
power.
An overwhelming intimidation filled the air; the mere presence of these entities stole the breath of ordinary people.
By the time the army reacted, the land was already in ruins.
“Set up the highest level of formation!!”
“Pour your energy in and don’t hold back!!”
“The Ruler of Gluttony is here!”
Hundreds of high-level experts stood at the forefront, raising their swords high into the air.
Their energy erupted simultaneously, activating the army’s formation.
Ohm!!
Esquin, who was locked in combat with the four Monster Lords, paused momentarily to
glance upward.
He narrowed his eyes and muttered, “What a troublesome formation…”
The [Four Supreme Directions Formation].
It represented the Vermilion Bird in the South, the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger
in the West, and the Black Tortoise in the North.
The four guardians of Fengdu Land.
This formation suppressed the enemy and significantly enhanced the combat prowess of the four divine beasts. It was designed specifically to amplify their power.
“Tsk, I haven’t even analyzed the [All Filter Barrier Formation] yet, and here comes another
one…”
Esquin clicked his tongue in annoyance and waved his hand. Shadows surged toward the experts maintaining the formation, but several layers of barriers formed, preventing the
shadows from causing harm.
Bang!!
“Black Tortoise…”
Esquin turned his head, immediately recognizing who had formed those barriers. There was
only one Monster Lord present who was adept at defensive skills.
The gigantic Black Tortoise roared as a massive barrier descended from above. It moved with
incredible speed, forcing Esquin down to the ground in an instant.
Ohm!
Esquin looked up and felt the pressure intensify. His eyes widened as he saw the Black Tortoise hovering above the barrier, significantly amplifying the pressure.
“Gluttony, you will not be able to do as you please,” the Black Tortoise’s voice echoed.
Esquin snorted and punched the barrier that was pinning him to the ground. Darkness enveloped the barrier, and countless teeth appeared upon it. In the next moment,
the barrier vanished into nothingness.
Swoosh!!
Esquin leaped away, and when he turned his gaze, he saw a pillar of flames erupting from the
ground. He immediately adjusted his direction, opening his palm.
In the next second, a magic circle appeared in his hand. He aimed it at the incoming
opponents and cast a forbidden spell.
[Supreme Hell Flare Burst]!!
A high-intensity dark flame erupted, engulfing the entire area like a tsunami.
The Vermilion Bird remained unfazed. She flew forward, bright red flames bursting from her
body, colliding with the dark flames.
Boom!!
The temperature in the area surged sharply.
Esquin retreated, devouring the space behind him.
A huge rift formed, distorting the entire area. Esquin stepped backward, but the Vermilion Bird immediately charged at high speed. Both of them passed through the space, arriving in the gap between universes. They could see the universes connected by some unknown roots to the Mother Universe. In this place, Esquin and the Vermilion Bird clashed, sending waves of powerful energy in every direction.
Boom!!
“Sure enough, divine beasts live up to their name! Unfortunately, I won’t stop until I find the Original Sin! I will topple everything in my way, even if it’s a divine beast!” Esquin laughed, charging straight at the gigantic monster.
They tore through several worlds in their battle, causing destruction everywhere. Those
worlds collapsed under the might of these powerful entities. The only world capable of
containing God-rank beings was the Mother Universe.
Swoosh!!
Suddenly, the White Tiger and Azure Dragon appeared, launching an attack on Esquin alongside the Vermilion Bird.
