Chapter 719: Soldier Of War, Types Of Blessed

The entire world, from the particulates in air, the vapor of blood slowly ascending according to the natural law of condensation, the soundwaves of a soldier's death throes, the last flicking flame of life within the eyes of a man with a sword plunged in his heart, to the violent aura suffused with rage swiftly descending from the sky had all been plunged into a state of absolute stillness.

Yet there was a single figure amongst these paused existences that was unhindered by the Heavenly Daos' restrictive power. It was other than Wei Wuyin.

While his eyes remained closed, he no longer needed to heavily resist the freezing force of the Heavenly Daos, his Astral Souls, notably Kratos and Eden, had already gotten extremely used to its occurrence that he had been paused for less than a millisecond of actual time. With his mind, body, and spirits freed, he shrugged his shoulders.

"Its a little too unfortunate that the stress on my body couldn't be paused," Wei Wuyin commented with a wry smile. He was currently exerting the spiritual strength of all three of his Astral Souls, causing his physical body to be subjected to an extremely high level of stress. It felt as if losing his True Draconic Form would cause his physical body to explode.

Fortunately, despite the extraordinary pain with every breath and movement, he was used to such hell-rising pain. As someone who was burnt alive, almost crushed by a Black Hole, and suffered the heartfelt pain of losing his entire family, he could resist both the physical and mental suffering this pain caused with relative ease.

Just as he was about to inspect the surroundings, he stilled. Not due to the Heavenly Daos' strange force, but out of shock. He realized that his Divine Saber Astral Soul, King, was still in full effect. It wasn't affected by the freezing force!

Unfathomable levels of shock shook his heart, unable to comprehend why this change had occurred. When he investigated King, attempting to communicate with it, he found King was unresponsive yet fully active. It was surrounded by its Saber Annihilation Light in the form of a ring, and it revolved around its Astral Soul's saber form like a Mystic Radiance Belt.

However, when he observed Ori, his Divine Elemental Astral Soul, it was still and silent. There was no strange ring formed from his Primary Light or any activity to speak of. Unable to immediately grasp the difference, he calmed his heart and decided to investigate more on the cause later.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! BOOM! for new novels

Wei Wuyin was unable to open his eyes, yet he could feel the thunderous accumulation occurring up above. "When I killed Yuan Longshi, Eden and Kraros weren't able to immediately break the stillness effect of the Heavenly Daos. Because of that, I was frozen for an indeterminate amount of time while that one meter thundercloud had gathered."

Thinking back to that time, he couldn't help but sigh. Yuan Longshi was his first time killing a Blessed. He had thought it was the Unnamed Commander before, but after all the evidence that suggested he was just a sinner that had slain a Blessed, he couldn't help but feel quite peculiar.

Right after doing so, Wei Wuyin was struck almost instantly by a cloud of lightning that was like endless eels cackling with thunderous booms. He hadn't been able to react before he was struck.

Feeling the prickly electricity in the stilled air, hearing the roiling of the clouds and the thunderous booms, he now realized that the Heavenly Punishment was building up again. When he had broken the bindings before, he felt as if he had been subjected to rigor mortis. So if he considered timing wise, it likely took time for it to accumulate. Considering Yuan Longshi had given roughly equivalent to a Karmic Surge, the lightning punishment must be a specific punishment for those of a certain level.

"Yet there's always been something that's bothered me..." Wei Wuyin was once again reminded about the Scripture of Sin. The Heavenly Daos were the cleansers of Karmic Sin, so why or how could it deliver Karmic Sin to others? It seemed detrimental to its purpose, and while killing a Blessed was horrific in its view, there was no indication within the Three Thousand Commandments of the Heavenly Daos that stated that it was an Act of Sin.

The Heavenly Daos were unfair, yet it was also fair.

But it was enough to fool Jing Jiu.

When Jing Jiu activated the talisman in his ah-ha moment, Wei Wuyin had already retreated in full force with the Infinite Void Wings. Then, used Void Concealment again to arrive before Jing Jiu without being noticed. If the Battlefield wasn't so restrictive to spiritual sense, he had little doubt that all those elite Starlords would've seen through his Void Concealment with incredible ease, especially since they would've had their Worldly Domains manifested at all times in such a chaotic battlefield.

It was one of the reasons he never used it. It was almost entirely nullified in effectiveness against powerful spiritual sense or Worldly Domains that grasped the entirety of a cultivator's reach.

BOOM!

A final thunderous boom resounded, and Wei Wuyin felt that the punishment was ready to descend. With a faint smile, he allowed it to naturally occur.

Ohn! Ohn! Ohn!

His Bloodline of Sin activated once again, covering his entire body with its uniquely dark-red colored symbols, including the strange circle with various runic markings and esoteric symbols that emanated a trace of sinful light at his glabella. The sinful eye that was both vertical and seemingly demonic had side-ways pupils that contained a hue of golden color at its center.

The lightning collapsed onto Wei Wuyin and inundated his body like a flash of golden light. The golden light transformed into its own set of symbols that enveloped his body. The entire experience to Wei Wuyin felt like a single word: tingly.
