Magic City, Apex Guild Hall.
Qin Chuan watched the enormous, insufferably arrogant Pride's True Form in the holographic projection.
He turned the Ring of Annihilated Karma on his finger, a distinct smile curling his lips.
"Interesting. If he wants to advance, let him. I'll even give him a hand."
Qin Chuan raised his left hand.
The Myriad Creation Authority flowed across his palm. Golden Divine Patterns pierced the dimensional barrier and connected directly to the underlying control core of the Sin Secret Realm Seventh Layer.
"My control over the Seventh Layer isn't strong enough yet. You can help me with that!"
Qin Chuan spread his fingers wide.
"Law of Sin, pour it in!"
Sin Secret Realm Seventh Layer.
Pride's True Form reveled in the surge of power. He felt only one step away from the supreme Main God Realm.
Once I kill these humans and absorb their Divine Authority, I'll complete my transformation!
Just then, the Void above his head split open without warning.
A torrent of High-Dimensional Primordial Sin Energy, impossibly pure and dense, poured through the rift like a burst dam and struck Pride's True Form squarely on the head.
There was too much of it.
Far more than an Upper God could bear.
Pride's True Form froze.
He instinctively tried to stop absorbing it, but the energy forced its way through the Original Sin Unification channel he had opened and flooded into his body.
"No... wait! It's too much!"
His massive divine body swelled beyond his control. Blinding cracks spread across its once-solid shell of law.
Black divine light blasted from the cracks, riddling the surrounding space with holes.
Dragon Soaring World rested his blade on his shoulder and swallowed as he watched the monster above inflate like a balloon.
"Did that bastard eat too much?"
