My construction materials are weird

The so-called 'give a chance' meant hoping that Diana would keep her promise. Once Xuan Huang was killed, and he hadn't been devoured or assimilated, she would let him go.

Greed wasn't stupid. In fact, he already understood his situation. Although he was called Greed, it didn't mean he was foolish.

He wouldn't do anything to devour other sacred beings.

Moreover, he wasn't a sacred being from a major faction, but from a small faction struggling to survive under the three major factions.

Such a small force wouldn't dare to devour other sacred beings.

He had been controlled and bewitched, but now he understood.

"Thank you, Lord!" Greed said gratefully.

It was sad to say, he was harmed by the person in front of him, and now he had to thank them.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Greed began to act and immediately felt a sense of relief as the restrictions binding him were loosened.

Greed bowed to Diana with a slightly meaningful look, and then disappeared.

"Is it coming?"

A肃杀 oppressive aura drifted in, becoming clearer and clearer, and more and more intense.

Xuan Huang had already thought of a way to deal with it.

It was embarrassing to say, but the solution was still to retreat.

It seemed that the title of master of tactical retreat would have to be picked up again.

There was really no other way. The bad guys could act recklessly, but he couldn't.

Even with the protection of the golden divine soul, Xuan Huang didn't plan to recklessly provoke the Heavenly Dao. He still needed to be flexible when he should be.

When the King who ambushed him made a move, he would hide in the Ruins of Return, and then let the Heavenly Dao punish the one who ambushed him.

This was Xuan Huang's plan.

He didn't even plan to use the Myriad Spirits Palace. What if the Myriad Spirits Palace exceeded the fourth level and the Heavenly Dao cleaned up the Myriad Spirits Palace as well?

It wasn't necessary.

"If God wants to do evil, let Heaven take care of it," Xuan Huang thought.

Pretending to be normal, Xuan Huang continued to act in this area, choosing strange things he was interested in to suppress.

Secondly, they would hate Xuan Huang for putting on an act. There was no need to actually take action.

Until the third day.

"It's coming!" Xuan Huang sensed.

"Xuan Huang, accept your death!"

A blasting sound came, its momentum mixed with the sound, as if forming a huge tsunami.

The surrounding air was like a bomb thrown into a lake, the ripples rolling and sweeping away all obstacles, even hills were instantly razed to the ground.

Within a range of nearly a thousand miles, everything was instantly turned into nothingness by this violent roar.

This was the strength of a fourth-order True King. The pressure and momentum of a single move could turn a space-time into nothingness.

All of Greed's attacks condensed into a skull-like giant mouth, twisted and struggling, as if condensed from endless desires.

It had both physical attacks and erosion and impact on the divine soul.

Xuan Huang's purple small Heavenly Intent Domain appeared, with holy light swirling around it. He didn't retreat immediately.

Instead, he was testing the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao. After all, although the grand strategy was to retreat, he could still experiment a bit on the way.

Although Xuan Huang couldn't use the golden divine soul, he could use the white divine soul.

When the white divine soul invaded the purple small Heavenly Intent Domain, he clearly felt that the strongest domain of the three artifacts combined had undergone a qualitative change.

Xuan Huang even felt that even if he didn't retreat, he could withstand the enemy's attack, it would just be very heavily injured.

This was Xuan Huang using less than 10% of the white divine soul's power. After all, he was in the outside world. If he was in the Ruins of Return, Xuan Huang could use 100% of it, which was equivalent to fourth-order power.

In the outside world, especially with the Heavenly Dao watching, Xuan Huang didn't dare to use his full strength right away and could only test it.

"Who are you?" Xuan Huang asked.

He couldn't be confused. Even if he knew the general direction of the enemy, he still had to figure out who was attacking.

Greed was also very nervous. The moment he attacked, the moment he erupted with fourth-order strength, he felt a heavenly might instantly lock onto him.

And his abilities were being imprisoned. He understood that this was his only chance to attack.

Even so, he still had to find loopholes in the rules of heaven and earth.

Unable to use the second move, he could only increase the power of the first move.

"My name is Greed. Remember, the one who killed you is Greed, True King of the Moon Heart Realm!"

Along with the response, all of Greed's power was poured into the skull, and the attack that was obviously more powerful locked onto Xuan Huang.

At the True King level, it was no longer a one-on-one attack, but a full-scale battle.

The divine soul, spirit, and will, every move was a full-scale attack of the divine soul, spirit, and will.

There were no dead spots or loopholes at all, and it required full-hearted defense or attack.

"Moon Heart Realm, Greed? This deity remembers it," Xuan Huang smiled slightly.

The enemy was strong and couldn't be fought head-on. Retreat was the best strategy.

Unless he used the full power of the white divine soul, but that would also put him in danger, it wasn't necessary.

Xuan Huang retreated.

He disappeared instantly, disappearing from Greed's lock.

"What?" Greed was shocked.

The enemy was gone. How was this possible? Was his lock fake?

It didn't make sense.

To be honest, he didn't know much about Xuan Huang because of Diana's deliberate concealment.

If he knew Xuan Huang was so magical, why would he need the Heavenly Dao to take him in? He could just be killed by Diana.

It was precisely because he didn't know Xuan Huang's strength that he dared to take the risk and fight for a chance to live.

This was also how Diana laid out the plan.

Xuan Huang's sudden disappearance made him panic, because the Heavenly Dao's punishment had also arrived as scheduled.

Being locked on by a fourth-order King's attack seemed to be just the literal meaning, but it was actually very different.

As mentioned earlier, the full-scale attack of the divine soul, spirit, and will made it difficult to run. The lock of the law, the collision of the soul, etc., were not something that could be left at will.

But Xuan Huang disappeared instantly.

This was thanks to Xuan Huang's magic, especially the golden divine soul and the Spirit Suppressing Tablet. Could a mere King lock him on?

Who did he think he was?

For Xuan Huang, it was the divine soul, spirit, and will, but for the Spirit Suppressing Tablet and other big shots, it was a full-scale loophole. He could leave whenever he wanted.

After all, Xuan Huang's name had already occupied the Spirit Suppressing Tablet, and the Spirit Suppressing Tablet was about to become Xuan Huang's shape.

"What, this is impossible?" Diana and Mani, who were paying attention, were also very flustered.

"Don't think about this now, resist the backlash first. We failed," Mani reacted the fastest.

Since they didn't kill Xuan Huang, then don't think about it. The crisis at hand was the most important.

The crisis came from the Heavenly Dao's punishment.

Greed's ability to act was inseparable from the support of the two of them. Otherwise, how could a mere True King display the power of a fourth-order True King in the outside world?

"I'm not convinced!" Diana said.

Similarly, this sentence was also Greed's roar, the last roar, because the punishment had begun, and his body began to shatter inch by inch.

A shattering that offered no recourse, coupled with the reclamation, or rather, the deprivation, of their very essence as Sovereigns.

Abilities bestowed by Heaven and Earth were being revoked for violating the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Once the essence of a Sacred Being is reclaimed, could there possibly be another outcome?

No, there is only one outcome: death, a complete and utter demise.

The gamble for a sliver of survival had failed, a failure that inflicted no harm upon the enemy, leaving him deeply unwilling to accept it.

He had anticipated the backlash to be unpleasant, but he never imagined the direct deprivation of his essence. Who exactly was this Xuan Huang? Why was the reaction from Heaven and Earth so severe, directly stripping the essence of a Sacred existence like himself?

Could it be that a Sacred Being like himself was less important than a Xuan Huang Daoist?

In the eyes of Heaven and Earth, who was the favored one? Was he really so insignificant compared to the Xuan Huang Daoist?

"Whoosh!" A gust of wind swept past, like a farewell breeze in the evening.

It brushed past the bright moon, swept across this place, and passed through Greed's shattered body. With this gust of wind, Greed completely vanished from this world.

"Not good, prepare yourselves!"

Diana and Mani were equally panicked. They initially believed it was a joint resistance with the Bright Lake Domain.

However, they realized something was amiss. The Heavenly punishment bypassed the Bright Lake Domain and intelligently locked onto them and the factions they represented.

"No? How could this be? Xuan Huang, why do you command such great influence?"

The two were utterly dismayed. Their essences were also being deprived.

This was terrifying. Greed, who had acted, had been stripped of everything, reduced to nothingness.

They, the two masterminds, had planned to drag the Domain down with them, but they miscalculated.

The Heavenly punishment directly ignored the Bright Lake Domain and targeted them, now in the process of stripping them of their essences.

The Moon Heart Domain could be considered a top-tier Domain, the ultimate destination for countless moon fantasies, myths, and beliefs.

The three Domain Lords all possessed essences in the mid to late Sixth Order, with Chang'e of the Qi species being the strongest, closest to the late Sixth Order.

Mani and Diana both possessed mid-Sixth Order essences.

Among the top-tier Domains, they were considered very strong.

But now, the two felt their mid-Sixth Order essences wavering, being deprived.

"No!" Mani also panicked, roaring in disarray.

His plan was for Diana and Chang'e to fight, allowing him to seize the advantage.

The reason he seemingly favored Diana was because Chang'e was the strongest. Naturally, he would team up with the weaker one to resist the strongest.

That was the plan, but who could have imagined encountering such a situation with a single cooperation?

Had he known this would happen, why would he have cooperated with Diana? Wasn't this just creating trouble for himself?

"Crack!" It sounded as if something had shattered.

A crisp and melodious sound reverberated throughout the Moon Heart Domain.

"No!" "It can't be like this, I was wrong!" These were the anguished roars of Diana and Mani.

The essences of the two mid-Sixth Order Sovereigns had been struck down, completely deprived. They had fallen from Sovereigns of the mid-Sixth Order to Sovereigns of only the early Sixth Order.

Moreover, having their essence deprived was equivalent to an irreparable injury, making it difficult to recover.

It might even be impossible to compensate for the damage of essence deprivation in their lifetime.

Even more frightening was that it wasn't over yet.

This was what made the two most desperate.

There was also someone who was very terrified, and that was Chang'e.

She had witnessed everything firsthand. She originally thought she was going to be unlucky as well, suffering with the Moon Heart Domain, but it turned out she was fine.

The Heavenly punishment directly bypassed the Moon Heart Domain, targeting the masterminds behind the scenes.

It was as if the Domain's will had been sealed off. Only when the Domain's will was sealed off could it bypass her and target the masterminds.

She was a little panicked. Who had she offended?

The one who acted was deprived of their essence and died, the masterminds were being demoted by essence deprivation, and the 'mother'-like will of the Moon Heart Domain was directly shielded.

She was truly frightened by this series of actions.

Like Greed's bewilderment at the time of his death, who was the favored one of Heaven, who was the main character?

Wasn't it supposed to be the Sacred Beings like them?

"If I had known this would happen, I should have told Daoist Xuan Huang," Chang'e said regretfully.

If she had known Xuan Huang was so miraculous, would she have suffered so much torment? She would have just told Xuan Huang.

Unknowingly, Chang'e's address to Xuan Huang had also changed. Previously, she called him Xuan Huang Daoist, but now she called him Daoist Xuan Huang.

This was a change she hadn't even noticed.

People can't be taught by people, but they learn as soon as they are taught by events.

However, she also had her reasons. She thought she and the Domain would bear the cost together, and her informing would be equivalent to betraying her Domain.

That's why she didn't tell Xuan Huang.

If she had known Xuan Huang was so miraculous, that the Heavenly punishment would bypass the Domain's will and herself to actively find the masterminds, why would she have hidden it?

"However, I have turned misfortune into blessing," Chang'e said with a smile.

Her two old rivals had been demoted. She was already the strongest, and now that her opponents had been demoted, her safety had greatly increased.

Even if the two teamed up, they wouldn't be her match.

Previously, the two were also mid-Sixth Order Sovereigns. Although she was a mid-Sixth Order Sovereign close to the late stage, they were ultimately on the same level.

But now?

She was still a mid-Sixth Order Sovereign close to the late stage, but her opponents had been struck down to the early Sixth Order.

This difference in level was not something that the two could contend with even if they joined forces.

Moreover…

Chang'e's smile deepened, it wasn't over yet.

It would be great if they were struck down to Fifth Order Venerables.

Unfortunately, amidst the wails of Diana and Mani, the two were struck down to the early Sixth Order and did not fall further.

Barely early Sixth Order, in their terms, early early Sixth Order, which was quite awkward.

Bad students have a lot of stationery, there's no way around it.

Xuan Huang didn't have such level divisions, there was no need for them.

But it wasn't over yet. The two were forcibly struck down in level, and it was a demotion that deprived their essence, equivalent to a life-threatening serious injury.

Their intelligence was a little unstable, tottering.

They were directly enveloped and submerged by the Domain's will, in deep-level nurturing.

The Domain's will was like protecting a heavily injured child, nervously protecting the two.

And the Heavenly punishment also disappeared from this point on.

Only the instinctive Domain's will, following its instinct, went to make up for the two's injuries, but it was as if it was locked by a concept.

It was still the Heavenly Dao that nurtured it. The Domain's will was unable to make up for the 'edict' of the Heavenly Dao.

It was like an old mother feeding her child medicine, but unfortunately, these two children were beyond medical help.

Following its instinct, the Moon Heart Domain's will transferred the essence that nurtured the two to Chang'e. Having another child was very normal.

Chang'e: … …??

She didn't expect there to be more?

This was truly turning misfortune into blessing, the harvest was too great.

Instantly, she was very grateful to Xuan Huang, and then a sense of guilt arose.
