"Lock!"
With a soft cry from Chen Pingchuan, the Blue Demon’s armor lost its forr luster, turning a sandy yellow. The cocoon of sand that had trapped him also vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed. The rampant energy circulating inside the Blue Demon suddenly stalled. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t muster any strength. As he attempted to attack again, a wave of sharp pain shot through his body. Even his chanical fra began to emit a sizzling sound as faint blue sparks flickered across his armor.
"Ah!"
The Blue Demon let out a painful roar, his body trembling violently from the agony. He raised his head to glare at Chen Pingchuan. Even with his chanical eyes, Chen Pingchuan could still feel his fury. A roar followed. "What have you done to ?"
It was no wonder the Blue Demon was so terrified. He had inherited the legacy of the Celestial Palace, and his entire being was chanical; he was supposed to be impervious to pain. Yet this ti, he genuinely felt it. He hadn’t experienced such a sensation in the decades since inheriting the Celestial Palace’s legacy.
"Give up. Pointless resistance will only bring you more suffering!" Chen Pingchuan’s voice echoed, cold and remorseless, through the palace.
"Dream on! You have no idea what kind of existence the Celestial Palace is!"
The Blue Demon’s soul felt the sting, but his words showed no sign of surrender. He believed that even in death, he could be resurrected through the Celestial Palace’s Pangu System. The only cost would be the loss of so of his innate talent.
Chen Pingchuan watched the Blue Demon struggle in pain, a hint of amusent flashing in his eyes. "You think you can stand against with your ager strength? Or do you think you can be resurrected? Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"
His innermost thoughts exposed, the Blue Demon froze. He let out a gasp of disbelief. "How do you know? Who exactly are you? You’re not an ordinary Evil God; you are an Evil Demon!"
Enduring the intense pain, the Blue Demon glared at Chen Pingchuan. "If you’ve got the guts, kill ! Otherwise, as long as I’m still breathing, I won’t spare you!"
Chen Pingchuan sneered. "Kill you? That would be letting you off too easy. I’m going to let you slowly experience the consequences of opposing ."
With that, he waved his hands again. The Blue Demon’s movents suddenly changed. He walked slowly to Chen Pingchuan’s side and stood motionless.
"What have you done to ? Why can you control my actions?"
Before the Blue Demon could continue, he discovered he had lost the ability to speak. Chen Pingchuan waved a hand, and the vast palace of sand vanished instantly.
"Hahaha, how could an ant comprehend the thoughts of a god? This world is all mine! Once I’ve absorbed the other emotional traits, I will unify the world." After subduing the Blue Demon, Chen Pingchuan’s face twisted with a greed not belonging to a normal human—a greed for races, for the world, for the planet itself.
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Just as the Desert Temple disappeared, a handso man in a suit began to approach Chen Pingchuan’s group from a distance, clapping his hands as he walked. Though Chen Pingchuan couldn’t see the man’s features clearly, he guessed the newcor had ill intentions, so he snapped his fingers, commanding the Sand Beast to attack.
"Kill him!"
Upon receiving the command, the Sand Beast’s enormous body turned fiercely toward the man in the suit. It plunged directly into the sand, kicking up a blinding dust storm. A large mound of sand rose from the ground, charging toward the man like a moving mountain.
The man in the suit, however, remained unperturbed, a confident smile still on his face. With his hands in his pockets, just as the sand mound was about to strike, he lightly tapped his toes on the ground and shot into the air, hovering high above. The Sand Beast’s attack naturally missed.
Suddenly, the sand on the ground began to roil as if boiling. Countless sharp sand spikes shot out from the desert floor, targeting the floating man. The spikes were incredibly fast, glinting coldly under the sun like a dense array of steel needles. The man in the suit still wore his smile, his eyes showing no fear.
He waved his right hand, and a massive, jet-black energy shield materialized beneath his feet. The sand spikes slamd into the shield, producing a dense cacophony of PING! PING! PING! and scattering countless fine grains of sand, but the shield remained as solid as a rock.
"Your pet is quite interesting. Quite playful," the man in the suit said, glancing provocatively at Chen Pingchuan, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips.
Chen Pingchuan’s expression grew dark and uncertain as he stared at the man. The reason was simple. Unlike his earlier anger, the original host’s emotions were now complex. It was the kind of indescribable, complicated feeling one might have upon eting a long-lost relative. If not for the two of them sharing one body, Chen Pingchuan-Greed wouldn’t have known how to interpret this emotion.
A long-lost relative, huh?
Now that’s sothing worth dying for!
"Sand Beast, use your ultimate asure!"
At Chen Pingchuan’s command, the Sand Beast’s massive body began to tremble violently. The yellow sand around it surged wildly, as if being pulled and condensed by an invisible force. It threw its head back and let out a long howl filled with determination and madness, then shot into the sky, rocketing toward the man in the suit. As it hurtled forward, its body continually contracted and expanded, the sand on its surface grinding together and showering brilliant sparks. Then, its body began to emit a strange glow that spread from within, lighting up the entire sky.
Clearly, the Sand Beast intended to self-destruct, intending to annihilate the man by taking him down with it.
"Are you crazy?" the suited man’s expression changed slightly, a flicker of caution appearing in his eyes for the first ti. "To just throw away such a fine pet!"
He was no longer being careless; he was taking this seriously. The massive, jet-black energy shield instantly expanded several tis over, completely enveloping his body. At the sa ti, a layer of golden light emanated from him, complenting the black shield to form a double defense.
The Sand Beast reached him in an instant and detonated with a deafening blast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A powerful storm of energy radiated wildly from the epicenter. Countless grains of sand shot out like bullets, carving deep furrows into the desert floor. The surrounding air seed to ignite with a sizzle. The shockwave from the blast slamd violently into the man’s double defense. The light of the jet-black shield shattered instantly.
