Chapter 894 The Nine Sacred Kings (II)

Issac turned toward the World Tree with exasperation on his face. It was clear that this was not the first time that the ideology of the Sacred King of Endlessness clashed with that of the Sacred King of Harmony.
“Old bark, what about the future calamities that might fall on the universe? How can we expect them to face them off if their hearts and minds are not ready to take the impossible decision that might be needed?”
En turned toward Issac, and while there was still pure harmony on his face, there was also a mocking smile.
“Old baby, it is our job to protect the universe, not theirs. Instead of expecting the new generation to grow strong enough, we should aim to break the shackles and enter the Fourth Realm.” En made a small pause at this point and focused on Issac, Salomon, and Heinz.
“Besides, it was the wish of the Lord of All Existence that the new generation could choose peace if they so desire. If someone wants to take the path of danger and power, that must be their decision and not a response to the circumstances of their birth.
I assume you three are not saying that Samsara Thearch’s dogma is wrong.”
The Sacred Kings of Endlessness, Sword, and Unity showed annoyed expressions when they heard that. Although each of them respected the Samsara Thearch from the bottom of their heart and would not hesitate to burn their souls in his name, that did not mean they shared his way of seeing things.
“Enough. We only need to focus on our powers and do our best to rise to a level where we can assist the Lord of All Existence in case he needs our help while guiding the new generation and those that want to take the path of true cultivation. Don’t you think so, Imperishable?”
The one that interrupted the discussion between the four Sacred Kings was the youngest of all the Nine Sacred Kings. His appearance was that of a young man whose eyes burned with an indomitable heroic spirit.
He was the Sacred King of Unbreakable Spirit, the Depravita of Greed, Codicia.
The Unbreakable Spirit Inheritance was special in the sense that it did not grant a massive boost to the user’s battle strength, but it refined your soul to the point that nothing could corrupt it, and even life forms at the Fourth Realm would find it near impossible to erase it.
The one Codicia spoke to also had a youthful appearance. He had black hair, dark red energy bathed his body, and a mighty spear behind his back unleashed the aura of the Fourth Realm.
That man was no other than Ivar the Flawless, the Sacred King of Imperishable Body.
Just like the Unbreakable Spirit Inheritance granted a nearly indestructible soul, the Imperishable Body Inheritance granted a virtually invincible body. Actually, when it came to physical might, Ivar came second only to Ezequiel.
“Peace makes man soft, but it also makes children happy. As long as we are powerful enough, everything will be fine.”
Codicia nodded as he agreed with those words. He was not so naive as to think they would always be fine since the Emptiness was infinite and full of dangers, but as long as the old generation kept getting stronger, they would be able to protect their home and loved ones.
The Depravita of Greed was about to continue talking when his eyes narrowed, and he focused on a battle inside the Sundered Agony World.
One of the fighters was a man covered with a red flaming robe made of Depravita Aura. His name was Beleth, and he was one of the greatest geniuses of the Depravita Race, having already harmonized to a superb level with the Concept of Wrath.
Beleth used two massive bone swords that could shatter everything in their path, but his opponent managed to counter them with her fist.
The one Beleth fought was a gorgeous woman with long silver hair, black and white eyes, and four golden suns revolving around her head like a crown.
The young woman smiled as she dashed forward like a battle maniac, launching punches covered in black and white lightning with the power of the Emptiness.
“Hahaha, that is the best you can do. What a sissy!” The girl laughed as she continued with her onslaught.
Beleth did not lose control under the girl’s mockery and kept using his sword to block and counter the fist bathed in black and white lightning. Even though his battle power was slightly inferior, he remained in control and took advantage of every opening in his opponent.
“Aaa, poor Beleth, he is really unlucky. As someone that harmonized with the Concept of Wrath, his battle style is too direct.
Against anyone else, there would be no problem, but it is almost impossible to win a melee fight with that girl.”
Codicia sighed as he saw one of his race’s best geniuses slowly being pushed back. The other Sacred King nodded at his words since he knew that the girl had the bloodline that granted the mightiest of physical bodies in the entire known multiverse.
The duo on the giant thrones above the Sacred Kings also focused on the fight, and they nodded.
“I am impressed by the level of control and determination in that young Depravita. Despite harmonizing with one of the wildest Concepts, he keeps a cool head in the midst of battle.”
The Emptiness Thearch was truly impressed by Beleth’s control. Even if Depravitas were no longer wild beasts upon birth like in the Prima Universe, they were still a very emotional race.
Ezequiel was sure that there was a deep desire in Beleth to get wild and attack like a madman, but decades of training and meditation had honed his spirit and mind.
“Athea is also impressive. She is advancing really fast in the Emptiness Inheritance. Although her attitude needs some refinement.”
Despite his last words, the Revenge Thearch’s eyes glowed with a praising light as he focused on the girl.
