We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 408 Confronting the Omniscient Sage and the Seven Deadly Sins

"【The Omniscient Sage】..."

Upon hearing this name, Xia En's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

The other party is not only the founder of the "Truth Society" but also the most mysterious and unpredictable president of the "Truth Society".

It was the culprit that led to the downfall of the Great Yan Kingdom.

even……

It is also possible that it has some close connection with that [Hui Si Ming].

How could Xia En not be wary of such a person?
Not only Shane and the King of Cinder, but also legendary figures such as Musa, Mr. Heller, and the Thunder Overlord all looked at "Edward" in the arena with wary eyes.

Many of them had never heard of the name "Omniscient Sage".

But everyone could sense it.

At this moment, some indescribable and terrifying change was taking place in Edward.

The most obvious.

His aura was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

The surrounding space was shrouded in a heavy and oppressive mysterious force, as if one were standing on the edge of an endless dark abyss.

With every breath, one can feel the antiquity and vicissitudes contained within it.

It seems to have been accumulated over countless years, concealing countless unknown secrets, which makes people instinctively feel a strong sense of unease.

Edward, in the past, was a powerful figure with the strength of an eighth-tier warrior.

Its aura was undeniably powerful, and it even suppressed Xia En and the others at one point.

But compared to him at this moment.

It was like a stream encountering a vast ocean.

The gap between the two sides is so large that it is difficult to measure.

This also means.

Edward's strength and level of danger will also undergo a dramatic change.

This caused some legendary experts to feel secretly alarmed.

Edward, just now, required four eighth-level experts to completely eliminate him.

Right now.

Just how terrifying is this being known as the "Omniscient Sage"?
Anyone with eyes can see it.

Although the man before them was still wearing Edward's skin, he had essentially become a completely different person!

As the aura of "Edward" changed.

His body began to glow with a strange, eerie blue light.

Countless streams of data flowed through the light and quickly spread throughout his body.

His features and figure gradually blurred in the light, as if they were being wantonly kneaded and reshaped by a pair of invisible hands.

The bones made a loud cracking sound, and the originally slender figure gradually grew taller.

After a while.

Edward's face completely disappeared, replaced by a face that bore no resemblance to the one before.

It was an extremely beautiful, androgynous face.

He had white hair and exceptionally delicate and beautiful features, almost flawless, like the most perfect creation of God.

His beauty transcended gender, making it difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

but.

For no reason.

Everyone could sense that behind that beauty lay a kind of indescribable and unimaginable malice.

Something to say.

That was probably a kind of inhuman, alien feeling!
In other words.

Although the man looked like a human and behaved in a manner extremely similar to that of a human.

However, there is a fundamental difference between it and humans.

It was as if some terrifying monster from outer space was lurking beneath this skin.

Furthermore, based on the uncanny valley effect in psychology.

This resulted in the fact that, instead of feeling any appreciation for her beautiful face, people felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"This is the [Omniscient Sage]..."

Looking at the man not far away, Xia En's pupils contracted slightly.

On the other person.

He sensed a terrifying aura he had never felt before.

That aura surpassed that of the previous eighth-tier powerhouses such as Edward, Musa, and Heller.

He even subtly surpasses Augustine and the Lord of Cinder!

Yes.

Even their strongest being, Lord of Cinder, is probably not as high-ranking as this mysterious and unpredictable Omniscient Sage.

And at this time.

Shane had also gained a general understanding of the Lord of Cinder's strength.

Powerful figures like Musa and Thunder Overlord are all eighth-tier secret cultivators.

Such powerful individuals are extremely rare in the Seven Seas World, representing the very top tier of existences, far surpassing ordinary legends.

By contrast.

Augustine and Lord Cinder have undoubtedly crossed the threshold of the ninth order.

They are only one step away from the so-called "ascension to godhood".

But be aware.

In the Seven Seas World, over thousands of years, only two kings have emerged who dominated their respective eras.

Each of them led their own era and became the strongest in their time.

After that, there was no trace of any ninth-tier secret cultivators.

This shows how rare ninth-tier powerhouses are.

Because breaking through to the ninth rank requires not only the individual's efforts but also a rare and precious opportunity that is hard to come by.

Even... the recognition of the Secret Sea!

But the current "omniscient sage".

Judging from his aura alone, he is even above the Lord of Cinder.

So, is his rank ninth, or... higher?
Thinking of this, Xia En's heart immediately tightened.

To be honest, even now.

The true identity and purpose of this "omniscient sage" are completely unknown.

No one knows where he came from.

No one knows what he was trying to achieve by doing all this.
Such a mysterious person is more enigmatic than those evil villains who are clear-cut in their goals and ruthless in their killing.

It's like... you can't figure out what a madman is thinking.

Naturally, his next move cannot be predicted.

Sudden.

Xia En suddenly had a whimsical idea and thought to himself.

"If I use these eyes of mine, I might be able to see through some of his secrets."

Thinking of this, Xia En didn't hesitate and immediately activated the [Peeping Eye] to look at the [Omniscient Sage].

And at this glance...

This caused a huge uproar in Xia En's heart.

Within the vision of the [Peeping Eyes], a chaotic scene that Xia En had never seen before was revealed.

The Omniscient Sage was shrouded in a deep, dark aura.

Like viscous ink, it permeated his entire body.

Countless chaotic dots and lines, hidden in that pitch blackness, seemed indistinguishable from the darkness itself.

It wriggled and murmured as if it were alive.

This was the first time Xia En had encountered such a situation!
Moreover, when he stared at those dots and lines, his eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain.

It's as if those very existences are blasphemous and evil!
But it was at this very moment.

Xia En, however, understood the essence of those existences.

They are not concrete things, but rather an aggregate of abstract existences.

Their essence is...

The sins inherent in humankind!
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust!
Everyone possesses such emotions to some degree. However, learning to control oneself is the greatest difference between humans and wild animals.

Therefore, very few people are completely controlled by these desires.

Even if they do, they usually only possess a few of these "sins" at the same time.

However, the man in the [Peeping Eyes] field of vision was surrounded by seven kinds of sins, and the concentration of each kind was outrageously high.

This gave Xia En the feeling that—

The Omniscient Sage is like a greedy monster, feeding on the sins of humanity!

And it transforms it into nourishment, making itself stronger and stronger!
This situation reminded Xia En of someone.

【Dirty Siming】!
According to legend, the 【Huisiming】 is an outer god who is in charge of 【filth and chaos】.

The reason He stirs up all sorts of disasters in various worlds is to draw upon the power of so-called "filth and chaos".

When a world is on the verge of destruction, the [Filthy Life] can undoubtedly absorb the most [filth and chaos].

This is the root cause of the two world-ending floods.

While the Omniscient Sage did not absorb the power of "filth and chaos," it absorbed the equally evil and chaotic power of sin.

It's hard to say there's no connection between the two.

one way or another.

With just one glance, Xia En could tell.

Beneath the beautiful exterior of the "Omniscient Sage" lies perhaps the purest malice towards humanity and the "Seven Seas World"!
And this time.

The Omniscient Sage turned his head and looked down at Xia En. A faint look of surprise flashed in his inhuman eyes.

Followed by.

He gave a chilling smile.

"Your eyes are very nice."

"Why don't you... dig it up and give it to me?"

next moment.

The Omniscient Sage's body vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Shane.

In an instant.

A sense of extreme alarm rose in Xia En's mind, and every hair on his body stood on end.

Sweat poured uncontrollably from my forehead, sliding coldly down my cheeks.

Faced with this pressure from the ninth rank and even higher, Xia En's body was almost unable to move.

But even so.

Xia En did not give up hope of living. His heart was pounding, and the power of his bloodline was pushed to its limit.

The pure void power poured out without reservation, forming an armor of great darkness that stood between him and the Omniscient Sage.

Even in the next moment.

The sturdy armor collapsed in an instant, shattering into countless black particles.

But in that extremely brief moment, Xia En was given a precious chance to live.

laugh!
Just as the Omniscient Sage's right hand was about to touch Shane's face.

A blazing, warm flame suddenly ignited Xia En's body.

immediately.

The figure standing before the Omniscient Sage changed from Shaen to the Lord of Cinder.

Meanwhile, Shane's body was teleported to a safe place.

The Lord of Cinder emerged from the flames with an utterly calm expression, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

Only in the depths of those eyes burned a blazing flame that seemed never to be extinguished.

Anyone could see that it was the calm before a volcanic eruption.

Only when his enemies are gone will the flames of hatred be completely extinguished.

Compared to the Lord of Cinder's suppressed anger.

The Omniscient Sage, however, appeared much more relaxed, even leisurely and casual.

just like……

To him, all of this was just a game to play.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Lord of Cinder, the Omniscient Sage remained calm, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"Isn't this the king of the Great Yan Kingdom?"

"It's been over a thousand years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Is this how you treat a hero who saved the world, the moment you meet him?"

"Don't forget, without my rituals, there probably wouldn't even be one percent of the human population still alive today, would there?"

At this moment, the Omniscient Sage seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile.

"Oh, right."

"I almost forgot, there's a small price to pay for saving the world."

"That is... making you destroy your own [Great Yan Kingdom] with your own hands."

"But haven't you become a hero because of this? Aren't you happy about it?"

"Smile! Why are you making such a long face?"

His words were laced with undisguised sarcasm, delivered in an exaggerated tone, like a clown in a circus.

It was as if they were deliberately provoking the Lord of Cinder, without any regard for the consequences.

Moreover, it's clear that the "Omniscient Sage" genuinely enjoys this!

Until then.

Xia En, who was standing to the side, finally realized what was happening.

This mysterious "omniscient sage" may actually be a complete and unpredictable madman!

All his actions may have no reason at all.

It's just... that he wanted to do it!

However, despite such provocation, the King of Cinder remained extremely calm and did not lose his temper because of his words.

He knew that the Omniscient Sage before him would be an exceptionally formidable foe, one he had never faced before.

Any impulsive action could lead to defeat in this battle.

"The Lord of Cinder said in a deep voice."

"Today is the day to settle our score."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed the flames in his hand at the Omniscient Sage without reservation.

Unfortunately.

The Omniscient Sage, struck by the flames, shattered instantly like a mirror.

However, his body appeared dozens of meters away.

Clearly, what remained was only his residual projection.

Upon hearing Lord Cinder's words, the Omniscient Sage burst into laughter as if he had heard an extremely funny joke.

"You think you're worthy to settle our score?"

"Since everyone is here, how about... I show them the process of the fall of the Great Yan Kingdom?"

"Let them see how you led the Great Yan Kingdom to its destruction!"

"This can be considered the first gift I've given you."

Having said that, the Omniscient Sage gently pointed at the city that had been reduced to ruins not far away.

Countless tiny streams of light lit up and began to wash over the ruins below like ocean waves.

You can see it if you look carefully.

Those streams of light are actually countless tiny, fragmented pieces of memory.

Under their scouring.

The entire memory scene began to flow backwards!
More accurately, the "omniscient sage" is an artificial creation of that historical memory scene.

In this memory, the events that occurred are constantly revisited.

Time gradually moved forward.

Soon, a massive flood that swept across the entire world came into view for everyone present.

The words of the "Omniscient Sage" then began to play, like a narrator.

"On that day, a great flood came from the void of the far north."

"Rolling towards the Great Yan Kingdom..."
