Chapter 719 291 Divine Diamond
In an instant, Li Xiu seemingly caught a glimpse of Hell, where mountains of corpses and seas of blood formed, an endless purgatory with countless resentful spirits twisting together, ghostly claws grasping at Li Xiu's body, pulling him toward the fiery and eerie spring.
Greed is mankind's original sin; all evil arises from greed—for material wealth, for spiritual gain—since birth, humans perpetually demand from the world.
Young beasts compete with siblings for mother's milk; males vie for mating rights; nations battle for territory, humans for resources, even siblings for parental love.
Life is doomed to sin, greedily seeking from the world all things—clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are all demands.
Heaven births all things to nurture man, yet man returns nothing to heaven.
Endless greed begets endless sin. Only the hellish fire can cleanse such overwhelming guilt.
Li Xiu gazed into Yanzi's eerie eyes, unconsciously moving towards it, like a moth drawn to flame, knowing well it's Hell ahead, yet recklessly advancing.
"Damn it, curse it, the Mind Abyss Technique of the Bottomless Pit..." Evil Luo trembled the Golden Dinner Knife, emanating waves of knife tremors, but failed to awaken Li Xiu advancing toward Yanzi.
Trapped within the Golden Dinner Knife, his own power barely surfacing, reliant solely on Li Xiu's light energy for activation—multiple techniques yet none could be unleashed at such a time.
"Wake up for me!" The Golden Dinner Knife vibrated, swiftly flying directly towards Li Xiu, stabbing into his thigh.
The Golden Dinner Knife pierced into Li Xiu's thigh, blood instantly trickling down the hilt, yet Li Xiu felt nothing, continuing step by step towards Yanzi.
"It's useless; life is sin, only death can cleanse his guilt." Yanzi said coldly, "Why is the Food Knife of the Evil Luo King near a human? Has the mighty king of the Evil Luo Race colluded with humans, betraying the Demon Spirit Realm?"
"Spring of Evil, you can't harm him, or the entire Bottomless Pit will be doomed," the Golden Dinner Knife reverberated.
"Hmph, shall the Evil Luo Race wage war on the Bottomless Pit for a human? If so, let it be war." The Spring of Evil erupted with magnetic light, warping the space around it, forming a void-like abyss of magnetic light, drawing Li Xiu step by step toward the magnetic light void.
"Spring of Evil, have you forgotten how your Bottomless Pit's king met his demise?" the Golden Dinner Knife sternly retorted.
"You dare curse my king? Then descend into the abyss with this human, cleanse your sins in that endless eerie spring," the Spring of Evil scoffed coldly.
Evil Luo King wanted to curse, realizing the Spring of Evil must have been trapped in this City of Kindness for a long time, having lost contact with the outside world, unaware that the Bottomless Pit's king had been roasted by a human. Even if Evil Luo King explained Li Xiu's relationship with Han Ling'Er, the Spring of Evil would not believe, for it knew nothing of the matter!
Evil Luo King wished to explain, but it was too late; Li Xiu had reached the magnetic light void, stepping through it meant no hope of return.
The Spring of Evil's eyes glowed increasingly malevolent, seeming to beckon to Li Xiu repeatedly: "Enter... enter... only within the abyss's eerie spring... can you cleanse your sins..."
Li Xiu had already raised one foot, about to step into the magnetic light void.
In the sky, Wan Chaoxin, unaffected directly by the Spring of Evil's eyes from such a distance, still felt the effects, his mind turned dizzy, struggling to fly yet stumbling like drunk, gradually falling toward the range of magnetic light exposure.
"Come... all of you... you pitiful creatures laden with sins... ah..." As the Spring of Evil enticed like a demon, a hand suddenly seized its being.
One foot almost stepping into the magnetic light void, Li Xiu suddenly seemed completely unaffected by the Spring of Evil's Mind Abyss Technique, swiftly grabbing the nearby Spring of Evil, halting before the magnetic light void.
The Spring of Evil incredulously widened its eyes, how could a mere Light Base human break its Mind Abyss Technique, and take advantage of it, which was unacceptable.
The Spring of Evil burst into rage, trying to unleash Demonic Light to shatter Li Xiu's hand from its body, but as the Demonic Light erupted, the Spring of Evil horrifically discovered that its Demonic Light was surging into Li Xiu's hand like floodwaters through a breached dam.
Li Xiu's hand resembled a Bottomless Pit, absorbing all the Demonic Light it emitted, all combat power nullified.
Clutching the Spring of Evil's bird-like body in one hand, Li Xiu pulled the Golden Dinner Knife from his leg, coldly staring at the Spring of Evil in his grip, he said, "Life is evil, so what? Greed is the original sin, so what? If Heaven allowed me into this world, then it is for me to enjoy all its wonders. No parent births a child to sacrifice for others, nor to serve others. Without a pursuit of wonderful greed, why walk this world at all? Heaven and Earth birthed me, I will let the world's beauty blossom in my life—if this too is sin, let my sins overflow the sky!"
