Exiling a Paragon

Sean had no time to think before Magnus's attack arrived.

Sean was naturally unafraid. He used Willpower to control Sovereign's Might, forming the strongest energy defense over his body. At the same time, he slapped Magnus's Sovereign Artifact whip with his right hand.

As the whip was knocked aside, Magnus's fist followed close behind. Sean did not dodge and instead threw out a punch of his own.

"Pfft~~~" Their fists collided, instantly shattering the surrounding space.

Countless spatial cracks spread outward from between them. The Sovereign's Might infused with Willpower easily tore the surrounding rifts hundreds of meters wide.

Sean and Magnus were both sent back dozens of meters by the impact.

Magnus smiled faintly. "As expected of a Paragon of the Death Rule, Sean. Whether in material attacks or Soul Attacks, we are about evenly matched. Shall we end this battle here? Continuing would only waste time."

"Hmph." Sean snorted coldly. He had nearly been killed just now, so naturally he could not simply let it go.

Then, spotting a Commander from the Bright God Plane, an idea immediately came to him. He laughed loudly. "Magnus, shall we continue, or are you afraid?"

"Sean, you..." Magnus was furious.

It was practically common knowledge that two Paragons could not determine a victor. If both sides took a step back, that would have been the end of it.

But every God level being within the planar passage had heard Sean's words. If he backed down now, it would mean he had lost.

"Hahaha, fine. Then let's play a little longer." Magnus swung his whip, but Sean easily slapped it aside once more.

Magnus's fist and Sean's hand blade collided again, and space was torn apart like a spiderweb.

The two moved with incredible speed, shooting into the sky one moment and descending the next. Countless streams of Sovereign's Might containing Willpower easily harvested the lives of the surrounding soldiers.

"Retreat!" The Netherworld Commanders immediately gave the order. Even they did not dare approach carelessly without Sovereign Artifacts for both offense and defense.

Seeing that the battle had shifted to his own side, Sean unleashed a fierce attack before flying like lightning toward the Bright God Plane's camp.

"Don't run!" Magnus chased after him in a rage.

Although they knew that Paragons were roughly equal in strength, most people from the God Planes did not. If an established Paragon like himself fought a newly ascended Paragon to a draw, it would greatly damage his reputation and might even make him a laughingstock among the God Planes.

Unfortunately, they were both Paragons, and neither specialized in speed like the light, wind, or lightning elements. Their speeds were about the same.

"Spread out!" The Bright God Plane's Commanders were no fools. They had just watched the Netherworld camp fall into chaos, and now it was their turn.

But how could their speed compare to Sean's? Before they had retreated very far, a huge number of Soul Attacks shot out from Sean's body.

Even as an area attack, a Paragon's Soul Attack was not something ordinary soldiers could evade. In an instant, hundreds of corpses fell.

Several Commanders were struck as well. Their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately retreated, secretly thankful that it had been an area attack. If they had been targeted directly, they would certainly have died.

Magnus roared furiously from behind, "Sean, you're a Paragon too. How can you attack soldiers so casually?"

"Didn't you do the same just now?" Sean replied disdainfully.

"Uh..." Magnus froze. When he had first appeared, he had indeed killed quite a few soldiers.

At that moment, dozens of eruptions of Sovereign's Might suddenly appeared ahead of Sean. Countless strands of light abruptly emerged around him. They had no effect on him, but they reduced his speed.

"Twelve-Winged Divine Angels?" Sean was somewhat surprised when he saw who had attacked. He immediately threw a powerful punch.

"Boom!" All thirty-six angels were sent flying. Several angels in front were directly shattered by the immense force, leaving heart-shaped objects to fall from the sky.

"So that's an Angel Heart?" Sean was curious, but Magnus had caught up from behind.

Though these angels were no match for Sean when working together, their desperate strike had still hindered his speed slightly. That brief delay was enough for Magnus to catch up.

The binding force from before appeared again. Sean laughed loudly. "Magnus, forget about this move."

The two continued fighting, quickly reaching the edge of the passage. It was extremely dangerous here for other Commanders, but Paragons feared nothing.

Just then, someone quietly approached. Upon noticing him, Magnus immediately sent a mental message. "Gustav, what are you doing here?"

But Gustav did not answer. Instead, his divine sense locked onto Magnus, and a gigantic monstrous insect suddenly appeared behind him.

The instant it appeared, a binding force immediately formed around Magnus.

"You?" Magnus was startled, but he quickly realized what had happened. "Sean, you Soul Seeded him?"

"Haha, take another one of my strongest Soul Attacks." Sean spoke indifferently.

A vast amount of soul power gathered around Sean's body, forming an enormous black flame that shot directly toward Magnus.

"I never expected you to Soul Seed a Commander using Sovereign's Might. His Innate Divine Ability does have some skill to it, but what can it do to me?" Magnus still spoke with arrogance.

The Innate Divine Abilities of some divine beasts were extremely terrifying. For example, once Leis Jing's Purple Thorn Barrier was unleashed, even a Paragon would be trapped for a short while.

Gustav was a peak Asura from the Wind God Plane. His Innate Divine Ability was an extremely terrifying binding force. Other Commanders of the same level would be instantly restrained, while no one had tested it on a Paragon. But now, it seemed capable of having at least some effect.

Yet this was not much help in his battle against Sean. As for Soul Attacks, the soul defense of the Fate Rule feared no one below the Sovereigns.

Under the binding force, he could not evade and was directly struck as the black flame shot into his body.

Deep within his soul, Magnus's pale golden Sovereign's Might, controlled by Willpower, blocked the black flame. The black flame was gradually dissipating, but countless wisps of black vapor clung to his soul like maggots to a bone.

"This is Soul Poison?" Magnus was greatly shocked. The Death Rule had many bizarre tricks, but poison was basically useless against Asuras, much less Paragons.

Yet this black vapor was extremely difficult to remove. In the end, the last trace of black flame slammed directly into his Soul Defense Divine Artifact and began corroding downward, bringing a wave of excruciating pain.

"Aah~!"

Outside, Magnus's expression changed drastically, and even his soul aura was affected.

This poison would not kill him, but it could weaken him. And his enemy was a Paragon, while he was still being affected by the Innate Divine Ability.

Seeing that the Soul Poison empowered by his Soul Pearl and Willpower had finally injured Magnus, Sean quickly kicked out.

Like lightning, Magnus was kicked away like a meteor toward the Space Turbulence beside the Star River passage.

"No!" Magnus broke free from the Innate Divine Ability, but the intense pain deep in his soul remained. He was then completely enveloped by the multicolored Space Turbulence.

The peak Asuras and countless soldiers on both sides of the Star River passage were dumbfounded. A Paragon who had dominated all the planes for countless trillions of years had been exiled just like that?
