Paragon of Sin

1254 Chapter 1248: Two Fierce Warnings

PA!

The soul-stirring sound was the result of a crisp, precise, and heavy-handed slap! A single motion, almost as perfect as a rainbow's dazzling arch, struck directly on flawless skin and an exquisite face.

The Moonfall Lunar Queen reeled as her pupils constricted to their absolute limits. She found her body moving backward at a pace faster than her approach, twisting in mid-air, catching the sight of her violet-silver blood accompanied by her once-perfect teeth flying across the air left her utterly stunned. 

Was this real?

This question flashed across her mind as the heat of a palm etched itself on her cheek, and she spun in mid-air, not once, not twice, but three times! Then, she rocketed helter-skelter backward and heavily crashed haphazardly into the crevice's walls! The formation she had etched crumbled instantly alongside various bits of rock and dirt as she was buried under the rubble. The entire Ancient Crystal Moon shook!

Wei Wuyin stared at his hand, a little stunned himself, but then an incomparably amused smile surfaced on his face. The Stellar-Paragon Physique and his refined physical energies supplemented by his Mystic-Rank True Void Dragon Body were unbelievably world-shaking, to say the least, capable of exerting a physical power that could outright send an Earthly Saint flying!

Wei Wuyin lightly patted his pants as he stood from his position. He saw the teeth and blood strewn across the dirty floor. That single slap hadn't just initiated a triple-twist maneuver but quite literally left the Moonfall Lunar Queen's teeth laying on the ground. 

"Obediently answer my questions, and as I said: I'll consider letting you live." Wei Wuyin revealed a smile that wasn't a smile. The crime of invading his starfield and then trying to steal its fortune without permission was something that couldn't be easily forgiven. If it weren't for his curiosity about her purpose here, he would've long since had Wu Yu, the other Earthly Saints in his command, or the Spirits of War capture her.

RUMBLE!

There was movement in the massive hole created by the Moonfall Lunar Queen, and Wei Wuyin began to approach with stable steps. 

"..." Eventually, the silver-robed beauty clawed her way out slowly and deliberately, her eyes shining with a faint lunar light as her Mystic Power began seething slightly. She was accumulating strength! She had used Temporal Reversion to reverse the damage on her face and recover her teeth, regaining her beauty! The defiant and strong-willed light in her eyes gave her an additional charm that was hard to dismiss. She was a woman that could genuinely stir the hearts of far too many men with a simple gaze.

Wei Wuyin continued to approach, each step taking him several meters forward. He was unbothered by her threatening actions and merely advised: "You're in MY starfield, so think it through. We could either have a civil conversation or—"

Before Wei Wuyin could finish, an outburst of Spiritual Strength erupted that swept across the Ancient Crystal Moon, making Wei Wuyin's eyes softly shake. A Spiritual Spell! Moreover, it wasn't targeted toward him.

A wave that could affect any Mystic Ascendant in the vicinity erupted, which the Moonfall Lunar Queen took as an opportunity to unleash her cultivation in full! She revealed herself as a 6th Runic Ascendant! This was a downright terrifying cultivation foundation by the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region standards, only one short of Jiang Jingshi! 

The Moonfall Lunar Queen's plan was extremely simple: stall any incoming Earthly Saints and seize control of Wei Wuyin! She hadn't thrown that plan away! Given her strength, Wei Wuyin understood she was deathly afraid that the Legion Commander, and the Earthly Saints under his command would pursue her! 

Her thinking wasn't wrong; she was deeply concealed, yet Wei Wuyin had found her; this meant her stealth and concealment Spiritual Art were more or less ineffective, so she needed to acquire assurance of her safety as the Moonfall Starfield was simply too far away from the Neo-Dawn Starfield! 

Since Wei Wuyin was a mere mortal and the so-called Ascendant Emperor of the Neo-Dawn Starfield, this was the best target to seize! While his attack had stunned her, she didn't allow her hatred for the humiliating strike to cloud her judgment at such a critical moment! Moreover, she had yet to use her Mystic Power!

Wei Wuyin could only applaud her courageous actions in his heart as he didn't retreat in the slightest. However, he formed a hand-seal, and Baby Defiant began to shine with a type of gorgeous brilliance that left the residents of the Neo-Dawn Starfield shaken! 

A condensed beam of impossibly fast radiant power shot into the Ancient Crystal Moon with incomparable precision. A silver light coated the entirety of the Ancient Crystal Moon in the time it took for the Moonfall Lunar Queen to begin her mad dash for survival! But it didn't stop it!

BOOSH!

A burst of her Lunar Power erupted as she shot toward Wei Wuyin with intense ferocity and intent. 

"...?!" For a moment, the Moonfall Lunar Queen was deeply startled as she saw the world change before her despite her startling momentum. Just as she was a mere few meters away from Wei Wuyin, an insignificant amount of distance, she found that the entire Ancient Crystal Moon had been infused with a radiant power that left her heart quivering intensely!

Still, she didn't delay her actions as she unleashed a palm toward Wei Wuyin's dantian, intending to inflict severe injuries and seal his cultivation base in a single move! The aura from her attack would've caused the Ancient Crystal Moon to shatter despite being indirectly impacted! 

PA!!

A world-ending, conscious-dimming, heart-crushing sound erupted! 

The Moonfall Lunar Queen felt as if time itself had stopped as she watched the silver-eyed mortal calmly wave his hand, open-palmed, and have it land perfectly on her face! It was the exact same location as the previous slap! Her senses experienced a type of dissonance as her consciousness was reeling from the sheer disbelief. Before she could react, she found herself blown through the earth and into the Dark Void!

During which she spun not three times or six times but nine full times! The left side of her face was disfigured by the deep imprint of a powerful palm, with her cheekbones sunken in, her teeth were more or less all gone, and her tongue had been obliterated! 

The Ancient Crystal Moon was protected by Baby Defiant's Starlight, boosting its defensive power to a level where an Earthly Saint simply couldn't shake it. The inhabitants living and thriving on its surface were equally as protected. They were stunned by the layer of silvery light, but it was incomparably gentle, and they found that it was slowly integrating into their bodies, infusing into their Spirits of Cultivations and physiques, granting them an indescribable opportunity and boost to their cultivation bases.

A series of hollering cheers and shouts resounded as cultivators and beasts began to sit down wherever they were and refine the silvery solar light. Before long, countless cultivators praised the Ascendant Emperor for his grace, unaware that the Moonfall Lunar Queen was on the verge of destroying them all. 

Wei Wuyin swept his Spiritual Sense across the Ancient Crystal Moon's surface, elated by the protection his World-Bound Star Domain could provide, and he casually stepped forward and pierced through the Void. 

In the Neo-Dawn Starfield, the startling radiance from Baby Defiant enveloped the eighty-one lunar satellites and forty-nine planets, immediately instigating yet another cultivation frenzy. The blessings of the Neo-Dawn Ascendant Emperor were endless! These were the thoughts of cultivators present. Additionally, even Voidships transporting cultivators or materials were protected, enshrouded by a silvery radiance.

Only those who were at the Ascended level felt the disturbance in the Dark Void as the Moonfall Lunar Queen's Lunar Power spewed out chaotically to diffuse her momentum. Yet they didn't make a move to investigate. Since the Ascendant Emperor was taking action, their interference was more or less unnecessary. 

"Gah!" The Moonfall Lunar Queen made a strange sound from her throat as she painfully clutched at her face, using her Lunar Power and Mana Control to halt her hurtling body. When she finally stopped herself, her beautiful eyes were faintly bloodshot and filled with indescribable disbelief. 

She looked at the silvery radiance that was being unleashed from Baby Defiant, and her heart shook deeply. She didn't sense any fluctuation of formations or arrays, and this overturned her knowledge of what a Solar Star could do. Was the Solar Star providing power to the various celestial bodies of the starfield without any assistance? How?!

Before she could grasp what was happening, a silver-eyed mortal with an unearthly visage arrived a few dozen meters away from her with a flat, distant smile. "That's your second warning. You won't get a third," Wei Wuyin calmly said.

"..." The Moonfall Lunar Queen used Temporal Reversion to repair the damage to her face; clearly, she cared deeply about her looks despite her reclusive nature that the world knew. But then she found that her lifespan had been decreased by two centuries, and her eyes widened in horrified disbelief! 

Wei Wuyin's attacks contained the Minor Time Law, so reversing the damage that he inflicted while harnessing that power was as difficult as bringing Ascended beings back to life, even for a simple physical injury! 

"Who are you?!" For the first time, the Moonfall Lunar Queen spoke. Her voice was enchanting to listen to, containing a type of seductive charm that matched perfectly with her demonically vixen-like body. There was a little bit of drag to it, and it seemingly snared the soul and mind. The thought of how she would sound while moaning couldn't help but flash across the mind and hearts of every man, woman, and ghost who'd heard it! 

"Red Dove City's Wei Clan's—Wei Wuyin, the Ascendant Emperor of the Neo-Dawn Starfield, and a Mortal Saint Alchemist of the Sealed Regions. Now, what about you? Who are you, exactly?" Wei Wuyin always found that question to be quite amusing when asked, and he always wanted to introduce himself as a Mortal Saint Alchemist.

The Moonfall Lunar Queen was momentarily stunned, and her eyes flashed with uncertainty and confusion as she heard his last title. Mortal Saint Alchemist? 

"You're still so calm," Wei Wuyin pointed out curiously. One of the reasons why he stayed his hand was due to the Moonfall Lunar Queen's calm. Despite her situation and failure to capture him, she still exuded a type of confidence that hadn't been shaken yet, enough to be confused, stunned even, and calmly waste time asking such meaningless questions. 

Where did her confidence come from? A mere 6th Runic Ascendant? Sure, she was powerful by the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region standards, but that wasn't much in his eyes, and she should be fully aware of Jiang Jingshi's fate. 

"..." She didn't reply, merely sweeping her Spiritual Sense across the Dark Void for hundreds of thousands of miles. Eventually, she discovered a faint aura in the far-off distance.

She turned and exclaimed softly, "Assist me!"

Wei Wuyin was startled as he turned to find the source of her confidence, and then his eyes were immediately besieged by confusion.

The target of her words was similarly taken aback.

The handsome and regal Grand Knight of Neo-Dawn, Wu Yu, was the one she had spoken to! The man in question pointed at himself disbelievingly.

"Me?" Wu Yu asked.
