Villain Cultivator

Chapter 651 – Miaomiao VS Sin of Wrath (1)

RUMBLE

While Miaomiao was confused, Mu-Nyang appeared from nothingness along with a massive sun, which he had been using as a foothold. He smirked at Miaomiao.

"So, you've chosen to graduate before the big fight, munya? Are you sure that you're ready for the final test, munya?"

"Another test?" Miaomiao frowned.

"As you are now, you are no match for the 100,000 players and the sages, munya. I'm sure they will immediately kill their friends to increase their levels before the big fight. Then, they will come at you as either Sages or Unrestrained Sage, munya!"

"… So you want me to become a sage first?"

Mu-Nyang smirked, "You already have the qualification to become a sage after you appointed all your wives as your chess pieces, munya!"

Miaomiao turned around to look at his wives, who had absorbed the chess pieces that Mu-Nyang had given him.

Devil, who stared blankly at Miaomiao while tilting her head, had the King Piece.

Wei Yuan, who had been working tirelessly behind the scenes, was his Queen.

The bishops were entrusted to Diaochan and Xu Chu.

The knights fell to Pan Xiaofan and Kang Yan.

The rooks went to Mao Xueyan and Hopea.

As for the eight pawns, they were given to Zhu Qiao, Zhao Yun, Lilith, Levy, Liu Guang, Clem, Ju Chen, and Nero.

Miaomiao wished that he could have more chess pieces as everybody was strong enough for the titles. Unfortunately, he could only give them to the people that had the best potential to become stronger than pseudo sages.

As Miaomiao was looking at his wives, Dion reminded him of what he needed to do and why she was there.

<Originally, the shadow should have been your hidden heart devil and your past traumas in the form of your shadow and gate.>

<Unfortunately, your next fight will be up against players with a stronger system that Pangu personally designed. I, alone, might not be enough to help you. Therefore, I had asked Mu-Nyang to reprogram me, and he kept me a secret. Only when you are ready to open the Constellation Meridian Gate, I can come out to give you the final duty of Dion Version 1.0.>

<And now, with the power given by Mu-Nyang, I shall test you personally. You will need to overcome your former nemeses.>

The shadow that Dion had been controlling suddenly split into seven. And they transformed to remind him of his past PTSD.

One of them transformed into Xie Tian.

The second one became Lu Fengxian.

The third took the form of Ma Moxi.

The fourth was Ling Tianlong

The fifth transformed into Zhu Qiao.

The sixth became Liu Bian.

And the last one transformed into Brocell.

<Each protagonist represents a great sin. Also, every shadow can use 1,000% of their original body's true potential, and their cultivation strength matches yours. You must overcome this ordeal by yourself without the help of your sentinels and chess pieces. Good luck!>

A small streak of light flew from the shadows and orbited around Mu-Nyang. The latter opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Now, Dion was inside Mu-Nyang for protection.

For the first time, Miaomiao was without a system!

Mu-Nyang grinned and explained, "Those seven are the Constellation Meridian Gate's guardians that I designed for you, munya. Unless you can defeat them, you can't possibly defeat sages, Kishin Douji, Pangu, and the players! Prove it to me that you're worth investing in, munya!"

Mu-Nyang laughed and opened a portal behind him. Then, the head of a legendary snake was thrown out.

It was the head of Jormungand, the threatening world-eating snake!

However, it was still alive. Jormungand's eyes move around and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

As Jormungand opened his mouth, a wet black katana flew out and hovered in front of Miaomiao.

'I'm home, bitches!'

Killer Queen returned!

Miaomiao dryly laughed and grabbed Killer Queen to clean her blade. He was relieved that she came back at the right time.

Mu-Nyang smirked as he grabbed the head of Jormungand and tossed it back to the portal behind him. He also vanished along with the sun under his feet.

After Mu-Nyang faded away, his voice echoed in the void.

'I'll remind you again. For the sake of fairness and Mao Miaomiao's growth, no sentinel can help him in this fight, munya!'

BOOM

An array appeared and isolated Miaomiao and the seven protagonist clones inside. However, everyone could still see everything within the dome.

RUMBLE

A one-kilometer tall sealed jade gate appeared behind the seven protagonist clones. On the doors, seven empty sockets were noticeable, which hinted that Miaomiao need seven pieces of orb-like objects to put in there.

A fireball eye hovered over the gate, menacingly glaring at Miaomiao and the seven clones as if it was the eye of Sauron. Below the gate, seven flying continents manifested in the void.

The eye let out a hoarse voice.

"Great Sins of Mortals originates from their selfish and twisted desire. You, as well, carry those sins in your heart. To transcend the realm's limitation and become an immortal sage, you must acknowledge and embrace your sins to understand the Connate Dao!"

Immortal Sage?

As soon as the eye finished his sentences, Fang Meirong, Xie Fan, Xie Tian, and everyone who had gone through an ascension ritual widened their eyes.

This ritual was completely different than what they had experienced!

Before Miaomiao could react, he and Killer Queen were forcefully teleported to one of the continents below the gate. One of the protagonist's clones was also teleported along with Miaomiao while the rest of the protagonist clones were trapped in front of the Sauron's eye.

Miaomiao scanned the place in curiosity. But a second later, he sensed something odd. He widened his eyes and looked around in shock.

The lush forest continent looked like a place that Miaomiao had been in the past!

This was the herb plane, the place where he had met Emerald Hopea and the local dryads for the first time!

Moreover, this was the battleground that he had fought against Xie Tian!

He gazed at the shadow clone in front of him.

Indeed, it was the shadow clone of Xie Tian!

As Miaomiao was cautious of the clone, the voice of the fireball eye suddenly echoed again.

"In this life, you stole Xie Tian's childhood sweetheart. You tried to kill him afterward while you were pretending to be his friend. After the Silver Phoenix Sect had been disbanded, you reunited with Xie Tian at the Cernun's remnant plane. You had a chance to correct the misunderstanding, but you decided to add fuel to the fire."

A hologram appeared. It was the scene when Miaomiao was confronting Xie Tian. They yelled at each other, blaming the other as the reason for their troubles.

At one point, Xie Tian yelled at Miaomiao.

"Is that why you want me dead?"

The hologram of Miaomiao mocked Xie Tian, "In short, you're an eyesore. You're nothing but a jinx! Jiang Lan and I can only sleep soundly if you died!"

Xie Tian on the outside of the array covered his face with one hand. This part of Miaomiao was something he didn't want to look at.

Jiang Lan also clenched her hands, getting nervous as she was the cause of this conflict.

The hologram vanished, and the giant eye continued to explain.

"This Great Sin is not something that originates from you. It originated from Heaven's Chosen genius, Xie Tian, whom you murdered. His remnant spirit was absorbed by the river of karma, which gave birth to the embodiment of your Great Sin, Wrath."

"…"

The aura of Xie Tian's clone expanded. He slowly transformed into a Divine Flame Dragonewt, whose Divine Flame Providence Qi and Connate Qi alone was enough to destroy several planets nearby.

Xie Tian's clone muttered, "Because of you, I died. Because of you, Jiang Lan left me! You stole everything that was fated to be mine."

"Not my fault. Hey, I even spared your love interest, Xiong Zhenzhen. Don't you know that I never touched her? But she didn't come back along with the others, though," Miaomiao shrugged.

"I HATE YOU!"

"Likewise, Anakin. You're still an eyesore even in the afterlife. You're the reason of my incurable PTSD."

Miaomiao took a deep breath and got into a basic kendo stance, using Killer Queen as his primary weapon.

Xie Tian's clone also unsheathed his saber. This time, he came with a myth-grade treasure, which also carried the soul of a Divine Flame Dragon.

The soul of Firecracker, the deceased dragon that lived inside Xie Tian's sword, manifested his true form. A stellar-star-sized crimson dragon looked down on the small plane and Miaomiao.

Miaomiao stared at the fire dragon and scoffed. He had tamed Clem, Levy, and Lilith by using his sexual skills, and he had stolen their power. A dragon god was not intimidating anymore.

While Miaomiao was looking away from Xie Tian's clone, the latter made the first move.

He activated the power of time right away!

The leaves, trees, dirt, and the movements of all things on the plane were frozen in time, except for Xie Tian and his dragon. He rushed at Miaomiao and used the technique that the latter had always used on him.

Atomic Slash!

Miaomiao let out a sigh. He leisurely took two steps back and dodged the 1,000 instant slashes. Then, he pointed the edge of Killer Queen toward Xie Tian's forehead.

Death Fortress Sword Formation, Counter Pierce!

As soon as Miaomiao activated the sword formation, which was generated by his Sword Intent, Killing Intent, and Sword Element Qi. A sword domain shot out from the land under his feet and absorbed Xie Tian's sword intent, killing intent, aura, Qi, and the momentum of Xie Tian's weapon.

Various energies were gathered in Killer Queen and gave birth to Connate Sword Qi.

Then, the Connate Sword Qi transformed into a Dao Avatar of a sword. It jetted toward the clone's forehead at a light speed!

Xie Tian tilted his head and easily dodged the strike as well. But doing so caused him to lose his initiative and momentum.

Miaomiao adjusted his posture back to the kendo stance. He stood still and exhaled.

Death Fortress Sword Formation, Counter-Offensive!

A stronger providence domain replaced Miaomiao's previous one. This time, a dome manifested and covered the entire plane.

The sword providence domain was simple but nasty. As long as Miaomiao was alive, no swordsman could attack him with their swords!

The clone sensed the impending danger. He and Firecracker roared at the same time.

CLANK

Miaomiao's sword domain was instantly shattered, and a new domain of Xie Tian emerged.

Everything on the plane was engulfed in silver Divine Flame of Death. Anything that touched the flame would be instantly disintegrated into dust.

Yet, Miaomiao stood still and muttered.

"Killer Queen."

The katana heard the gesture and fought back as well.

Great Dao Domain of Chaos Eater!

The black katana sucked all the silver flame to herself. Instantly, she extinguished the flame of death.

CLANK

Even the time domain of Xie Tian's clone was destroyed. Every onlooker could see and feel that everyone could move again.

The clone didn't give up. The soul of Firecracker merged with the flame saber, and he injected his providence and connate Qi into it.

The fire saber grew larger to the point that its length was taller than the Constellation Meridian Gate.

Xie Tian slashed down. At the same time, he activated another providence domain to sabotage Miaomiao's movement.

Providence Domain of Absolute Strike!

As long as Miaomiao was in his domain, he couldn't dodge, and Xie Tian wouldn't miss no matter what!

Facing the calculated attack, Miaomiao deeply inhaled and resumed his basic stance.

"It's useless, Xie Tian."

Death Fortress Sword Formation, Negate Strike

A new sword providence domain emerged from the ground below Miaomiao. He gently raised the katana and cladded it with his Sword Element Providence Qi, which he had learned from Kang Yan, Kang Dongfang, Yin Monarch, and Yang Monarch.

As soon as Killer Queen touched the descending flame saber, the latter vanished!

Killer Queen was also surprised as she was in the middle of digesting the divine flame of death. She only sensed that Miaomiao had covered her blade with his strange Dao and dispelled Xie Tian's Sword Qi, causing the entire foundation of the flame sword to collapse and canceling the power of Firecracker.

…

Uriel and the archangels gasped in shock. In just a few exchanges, Miaomiao surprised them with his refined swordsmanship. Since when had Miaomiao become so good at swordsmanship?

They looked at Metatron and Joshua, who might know something.

Unfortunately, both of them shook their heads. They had no idea what had happened either.

As everyone was baffled and confused by their profound techniques, Mu-Nyang reappeared as a small cat and sat on top of Joshua's head.

Mu-Nyang snickered, "That's Jian Clan's sword style, the Death Fortress Sword. It has fancy moves, versatile applications, and nasty tricks. You should have seen the Jian Clan's ancestor use the Word Formation techniques when he sparred against me, munya!"

Kang Yan overheard Mu-Nyang. She rushed toward him and asked for advice.

"Could you tell us about the Jian Clan's sword styles?"

"Of course, munya!"
