The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Boom!

The final pillar at the center of the black abyss collapsed with a thunderous crash, but the young man had already disappeared from his original spot, appearing without warning before Susano-o.

Faced with the holy sword's blade reminiscent of divine punishment, Susano-o's eyes turned red as he desperately squeezed out all his energy to wield the "Heavenly Cluster Cloud" in his hand, meeting the attack head-on!

Boom~

Even though it was just a projection of the Divine Artifact, the destructive force of the clashing swords swept across a thousand meters, with tsunami-like waves of energy demolishing all the surrounding buildings, mixing with debris and sand to engulf the onlookers, sweeping them further away.

In the center of the battlefield, after a brief stalemate, the heavy and ancient sacred power eventually shattered Susano-o's desperate strike, irresistibly sweeping the "Heavenly Cluster Cloud" aside, gently slicing towards his head.

At the critical moment, a sword-like moonbeam once again cleaved through the dark clouds, enveloping the entire illusory image of Orochi.

Zhu Haomiao's sword momentum suddenly froze, giving Susano-o a sliver of hope.

Crack~

A thick arm was severed at the shoulder, and Susano-o spit out a mouthful of blood, tracing a parabolic arc towards the ground in a tragic flight.

Meanwhile, Zhu Haomiao remained "frozen" in his sword-thrusting posture, his neck slowly and stiffly raising. He saw a gigantic full moon tearing apart the clouds and shrouding the earth.

The moon was so enormous it seemed not to be a celestial body 380,000 kilometers away, but rather floating above everyone's heads, as if it might fall at any moment!

In the center of the moon, an exceptionally beautiful girl in a plain kimono overlooked the earth, her eyes cold as frost meeting Zhu Haomiao's gaze across the long distance.

"Give up the struggle, child of the dragon..."

"Forcing two of the Three Noble Sons to join forces against you is something to be proud of..."

The girl's whisper echoed in his ears, frozen by the cold moonlight, causing Zhu Haomiao's thoughts to become slow and dull. He could only watch as the one-armed Susano-o slowly stood up, holding the "Heavenly Cluster Cloud" with a twisted, menacing expression, walking towards him.

The authority of the "Xuanyuan Sword" was not suitable for dealing with this situation...

Am I going to die?

A premonition arose in his heart, and though unwilling, anger surged in his heart. Zhu Haomiao's eyes flickered with Purple Gold Divine Light, once again exhausting all his potential.

One is not enough, then two!

"Greed"!!

Ignoring the limits of spirit and body, Zhu Haomiao recklessly overdrew his future self for strength.

Silently, a response came from the crack of the pushed-open door, a wisp of ethereal and mystical spirit light appeared above Zhu Haomiao's head, condensing into a bright Divine Mirror etched with Taiyin Xuanwen, reflecting all things.

"Kunlun Mirror"!

In an instant, the "Kunlun Mirror" suspended above the young man's head burst forth with thousands of divine lights, reflecting the true form of the moon in the sky.

Ping!

A shattering sound like breaking ice resounded, and a spiderweb-like crack slowly formed. The surface of the floating moon rippled with intense waves.

In the next moment, the illusion indistinguishable from the real quietly shattered, revealing the majestic and grand moon that suppressed the earth and unfolded its true form.

It was a massive and magnificent mirror with a diameter of dozens of meters, with a translucent jade-like texture, now quietly floating behind the girl, scattering the luminescent brilliance of the moon.

It was also one of Japan's National Guardian Divine Artifacts—the "Yata Mirror"!

"Hmm..."

Forced to break the spell, the divinity backlash caused the girl to tremble as if struck by lightning, her snow-white lips spilling crimson blood, inexplicably bringing a touch of poignant sadness.

Suspended above, the "Kunlun Mirror" and the "Yata Mirror" corresponded from afar. Zhu Haomiao, bearing the pressure of the standoff with the heavens, watched Susano-o coming resolutely towards him, grinning fiercely as he raised the "Xuanyuan Sword."

Boom!

The sword blade cleaved down, and the two National Guardian Divine Artifacts collided without flair. In an instant of stalemate, the "Heavenly Cluster Cloud" was swept aside again, and the golden sword blade slashed across, slicing Susano-o in half at the waist.

"Aaaaah!!!!"

Amidst the frenzied cries of painful agony, Susano-o could no longer sustain himself. The "Heavenly Cluster Cloud" flew from his hand, momentarily becoming ephemeral and vanishing.

On the other side, realizing the enemy was not immediately dead, considering this guy's resilience rivaling that of a cockroach—able to revive despite having his chest crushed last time—Zhu Haomiao decisively prepared to deliver the final blow.

This time, he would use the "Xuanyuan Sword" to annihilate every trace of life, preventing him from reviving!

Just as the young man raised his sword to strike, a gentle sigh echoed through the world.

"Alas~"

The soft whisper contained unbelievable terrifying power. In an instant, night turned into day, and an arrogant sun appeared out of nowhere at the top of the sky, its blazing flames illuminating heaven and earth, suppressing the entire world.

On the ground, the intelligent creatures throughout Han City stared dumbfoundedly at the strange sight of the sun and moon shining together, their mouths agape.

"Hehe~"

Elizabeth Tia laughed silently, feeling like her life's efforts were just a joke at that moment.

However, the funniest part was that beings of such level were actually competitors on the same stage as them.

By what virtue or ability did she deserve to stand on the same platform as these monsters?

Does this make sense?!!

Beside her, her brother Blake hugged her shoulders tighter.

"Be strong."

"..."

Not only Elizabeth Tia but even the various national dominants who already knew the inside story were struggling to hold on.

For the first time, these chosen ones standing at the pinnacle of the First Layer of Heaven personally experienced the oppressive despair from the "High Sky Rank".

They originally had no concrete concept of abstract words like "Abyss" or "Holy Spirit".

They thought that even if these beings were stronger, they were only slightly superior to themselves, as the First Layer of Heaven's limit was right there...

But at this moment, they finally understood the meaning of "God".

It was a Super Heavenly Position existence!

It was fundamentally not something "humans" could resist!

Amidst the bystanders questioning their existence, in the center of the battlefield, Zhu Haomiao looked at the dignified girl floating high above the nine heavens, frowning slowly.

An ancient and primitive hook jade hung at the girl's chest resonated with the blazing sun behind her, releasing golden-red divine flame.

"Heavenly Light."

Along with the girl's soft murmur, golden-red divine flames appeared out of thin air around Zhu Haomiao, instantly vaporizing everything within a dozen meters, as powerful tongues of flame surged and swayed. Amidst the devastated battlefield, a "magnificent flower" with a diameter of over a dozen meters slowly bloomed.

The powerful "Heavenly Gang Power" instantly dissolved, and the "Hard Qi Skill" was equally ineffective. Had it not been for the divine protection of the "Xuanyuan Sword" and the "Kunlun Mirror", Zhu Haomiao would have turned to ash in an instant.

Even with the protection of two National Guardian Divine Artifacts, the youth's skin still carbonized and turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
