Paragon Of Sin-Novel

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!!

The air, light, essence, mana, energy, flow of time, presence of space, and gravitational force of the world for tens of thousands of miles swelled with disastrous pressure of heaviness and demonic presence.

The sky, the plants, the sand, and even the hints of moisture within the desert region shone with a violet tint.

"Huuu! HUUUU!!" The breathing of the triplets and many of the observers became extremely labored, each expulsion of their breath bearing the same difficulty as climbing a sky-piercing mountain to its peak. Some grew abnormally lightheaded, their vision blackening as their spirit came under the weight of mountains and the terror of demons.

All things within the Mortal Dao experienced drastic changes. In the once starless sky, a star appeared!

The heads of those with strong wills and even stronger cultivations lifted strenuously as they gawked at the violet-colored solar star in abject disbelief. "A World-Bound Star!"

None of the Chosen from the World Beyond was ordinary, coming from some of the most prestigious and long-living lineages of the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone. They had knowledge far surpassing any ordinary cultivator, and most importantly, almost all of them had surpassed the Mortal Dao and properly Ascended, attaining belated knowledge of the Mortal Dao far beyond what they knew as Mortals.

One of the most important aspects of Mortal Realm cultivation possibilities was the World-Bound Star Domain! In the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, this was known by the Ascended beings there as well, but the logistics of creating and establishing one was beyond even them after the War of Fallen Stars depleted the 'natural' Solar Star resource, so it had grown into a piece of information few mortals knew as those beyond simply could not afford or assist their juniors in cultivating it!

Most were focused on the sudden emergence of a Solar Star up above and only a few, mostly the Ascendants, paid attention to Da Shan's evolving situation. To the Ascendants, the World-Bound Star Domain wasn't a 'nigh-impossible' cultivation goal but merely a stepping stone on a long list of minimum cultivation requirements that His Majesty for Starlords. After all, the Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill existed! So how could they possibly pay more attention to such a commonly seen item than Da Shan's tyrannical aura and mind-blowing transformation?

Da Shan was already a giantess, standing at eight feet, but as she tapped into her Astral Skeletal Core, due to her Star Core Phase cultivation, was also termed a Solarframe Skeletal Core, her newly transformed body bloodline from the Titan Race and the Violet Mountain Demon began to exert all of its latent potential!

The two forces were in perfect harmony within her body, almost as if the Mortal Dao, Mystic Dao, and an ephemeral, eternal Dao worked together to align them together in flawless unity.

The pale-faced 76th Noble Prince was violently taken aback as he opened his eyes wide, staring not at Da Shan, but the Solar Star that had suddenly appeared in the originally starless sky!

World-Bound Solar Star!

A WORLD-BOUND SOLAR STAR!!

It would be a gross misunderstanding for one to think a World-Bound Solar Star was rare among the Chosen of the World Beyond. No, if any forces could consistently pay or obtain resources or ways to acquire a path to obtain a 'natural' Solar Star and then a World-Bound StR Domain from the long-existing culture that was the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone, then each Chosen had seniors who could certainly pay such costs and had such means.

For example, which Chosen here didn't have a World-Bound Star Domain?

If you were to go to each of them, the recently departed and the still living, even the 76th Noble Prince, they would all unhesitatingly answer: I have one! Their voices would be filled with pride and contentment.

But if you individually asked which of them were shaken by Da Shan's World-Bound Star Domain? The answer would be: HOW?!

That's right-how?

The 76th Noble Prince's expression distorted as he felt the solar rays of violet-colored radiant light cascade down from the sky, pressing against his body, infusing him with a weighty feeling as if a gigantic mountain that could crush a planet and shatter the void was on his shoulders.

"...how?!" Fang Honghong exclaimed as her dark red eyes reflected the violet radiance of the star above. Her disbelief was so apparent that it overtook her beauty, lessening it as she seemed like a befuddled and unwilling fool.

How could a Demonic Spawn of the Titan Race possibly have a true World-Bound Solar Star?! More importantly...!

It was thick!

It was big!

It was...

"IT'S A COLOSSUS!!" Fang Linlin frantically added in a barely contained shriek, her dark blue eyes were so wide that they seemed on the verge of popping out of her pretty face. The violet-colored Solar Star was of the Colossus size! The Solar Star size classifications were: Dwarf, Titan, Colossus, Supermassive, and Absolute!

Of course, now there was one more: Defiant!

The facial expressions of almost every Chosen from the World Beyond experienced drastic, heaven-shaking, world-shifting changes! They could feel the radiance bore down on them, imposing its brilliance on their bodies with irresistible presence.

Fang Huanghuang, as if seeking to question the world, began speaking in a fast yet clear voice: "How?! The World-Bound Stars usually lack essence, containing only form, but this Solar Star...this Solar Star has both!"

To reach the pinnacle of the Mortal Dao, one needed a World-Bound Star Domain, so many exquisite and profound methods were created to substitute the abnormally difficult and sometimes unrealistically attainable requirements for it in much the same way World-graded Cultivation Methods such as the Blood Origin Method Bestowed an alternative for World Runes, due to the extreme difficulty of comprehending a World Heart Intent within the limited lifespans of cultivators.

The vast majority of cultivators, even extremely elite cultivators that stood at the peak, weren't all demonically talented, blessed by the heavens, beloved by the laws, or born with endless opportunities bestowed through nepotism and innate luck. They often relied on hard work and persisted longer than others by sheer dumb luck or some other factors. They needed alternatives to reach the peak and the heavens were never so merciless as to not grant a tangible path, especially when the arduous and dangerous path of cultivation was considered.

San Yongli had taken this method herself, creating a World-Bound Solar Star, and intended to use the Astralis Root and other treasures to grant its essence through accumulation and effort. All those years ago, she heavily lamented her wasted effort when Wei Wuyin unveiled the Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill at his Expo. The sadness and frustration she felt that day was indescribable.

As someone who was massively blessed by the Heavenly Daos, for her to have to excavate an alternative path and rectify the issues later only displayed how outrageously difficult it was to find a 'natural' Solar Star or nurture one's own!

Creating a Solar Star wasn't difficult for Mystic Ascendants, raising them to the Colossus-sized was a mere few years or decades, depending on their cultivation stage, and controlling it similarly wasn't too difficult, but a World-Bound Star Domain MUST be purely of the Mortal Dao, and nurturing a star using non-mystic methods were so excruciatingly difficult that even Mystic Overlords would find it either outright impossible or so costly that they could only forgo their cultivation efforts for a long, long time.

The 76th Noble Prince's cultivation for his age was great, but his World-Bound Star Domain was forged using one of those alternative methods, granting it form to later establish a path to attain a Domain of Mysticism. But what he was seeing from Da Shan's Violet Mountain Solar Star was form, essence, purity, and brilliance.

It lacked nothing!

His heart was pounding fiercely that he hadn't reacted to Da Shan's transformation.

The eight-foot-tall Violet Demon Titan beauty began to rapidly grow, and her body ratio remained entirely consistent as she did, expanding continuously without pause!

Ten feet!

Twenty feet!

Fifty feet!

She explosively grew in a blink to five thousand feet in height! Her body was so high yet she hadn't pierced through the Sky Layer of the planet. The bronze warhammer, bracers, greaves, and her outfit grew with her! They changed colors, tainted by a violet light that perfectly matched her skin tone.

Only after she fully grew, her size utterly massive, her aura impossible to dismiss, did the 76th Noble Prince lower his gaze and move it over. The first thing he saw was gargantuan mounds of bouncy flesh that seemed capable of suffocating mountains and planets, and then a swooshing sound like thunder echoed in his ears as a violet mountain seemingly descended. He was instantly covered in a dark shadow.

Despite being stunned to the point of feeling vexed by the unfairness of heaven and earth, as if cursing the heavens themselves for giving such incredible gifts to a mere, lowly demonic spawn, he released a guttural roar unbefitting of his noble status.

He might have exhausted a considerable degree of his mystic power after using Flow Acceleration earlier, but he still had a wellspring of Mystic Power to tap into and his Awakened Mystic Intent was flourishing wildly. Hundreds of thousands of Mystic Runes manifested around him in a sphere, swarming about with the chaoticness of loctus, and he unleashed a tight punch!

This punch might seem simple yet it was a Fourth Way Ascension Art that incorporated Oceanic, Mana, Permanence, and Infusion! It was mighty and weighty, feeling as if the force of the Mystic Dao and the world itself was crashing forward!

He wanted to destroy Da Shan with a single fist! Destroy the World-Bound Star Domain too!

Unfortunately, as he did, he found his aura experiencing turbulence as the Mortal Dao resisted his commands, and the Mystic Dao that used it as a foundation began to grow ever-shaky. This weakened his strength as he had to devote greater strength to maintain his Ascension Art.

Inwardly, however, he was aghast! A World-Bound Star Domain could affect the Mortal Dao, but the Mystic Dao? HOW?! How was he to know that Da Shan had experienced a heaven-defying blessing of three Daos?! That her body purified, tempered, and evolved into a perfect harmonious balance?!

This deviation of focus weakened his art by roughly sixty percent. When the gushing fist met the titanic flat side of the warhammer, he felt an unbearable might that caused his fist to shatter into five hundred thousand pieces, almost turning it into dust.

When he wanted to escape, realizing the situation was beyond his understanding, he found space and time had been affected by a slithering Void Energy fluctuation, preventing him from fleeing or accessing his Saint Ring!

NO!

BOOSH!!!!!

The warhammer slammed ferociously down, unimpeded by the 76th Noble Prince's attack, and pressed itself against the Evercrown World's surface, sinking deeply into the desert and even beyond the earthen bed beneath. Earthquakes swept across the world for hundreds upon thousands of miles!

A single swing!

Da Shan's golden eyes were like gargantuan lanterns in her Titanic Mountain Transformed State. She stood at five thousand feet tall, her legs bent, yet she was like a mythological legend told in lore.

"..." Fang Honghong was stunned as she felt the 76th Noble Prince's life aura disappear from a single swing. She was flabbergasted to an extreme. Knowing that the 76th Noble Prince had somehow arrived in the competition, she was all but certain that he was likely going to become the next Chosen King. It was pretty much pre-determined, and almost everyone from the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone likely had the same belief after sensing his Earthly Saint cultivation base.

After all, she was a top-tier talent yet her cultivation base was only at the Demi-Mortal Lord yet she was 473 years old this year...

She gulped.

For a split second, as if it was a unanimously agreed upon thought, those who found themselves witnessing a demon crush an Earthly Saint or the Colossus-sized Solar Star shining light down from above all felt similar:

"The Chosen King Competition this time was not like any competition held before. It was not the same!"

Erdiul's Note: If Da Shan is this strong, how fucking strong are some of the Prime Ascendants lmao. Can't wait to find out. Also, I read the comments after I upload on all the s I update. And I have to say, PoS has the loudest whiners out of all the s. Some of you are crazy spoiled. Do you know that every PoS chapter is over 15-16k words? That's like 2-3 chapters of most WN s. And, when he writes a shorter chapter, some of you even reported the chapter as missing content, even though that chapter was 9k words, a chapter of shadow slave is 6k words per chapter for comparison. Writing is not easy, some people write different than others, and since you come back everyday to read again, you clearly enjoy what you're reading. Don't take it for granted, you might miss it when it's gone. For the people that just enjoy reading, and don't constantly whine, don't worry, whiners piss me off, but I know they are just the loud minority. I will keep updating as long as I'm available.

Cheers.
