Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 609 Chapter 619: Seven Sins - The Demonic God of Confusion
Beyond the gate lies the Abyss Realm, where the four supreme demon gods reside: the Primordial Demon God, the End Demon God, the Fear Demon God, and the Chaotic Heart Demon God.

Originally, the Fear Demon God and the Chaotic Heart Demon God were not among the four pillars of the gods. It was only because the Calamity Demon God and the Elemental Demon God were killed by the Lord of the Underworld and Chenlong in a war hundreds of years ago that they were able to be promoted to the position of the four pillars of the gods.

At that moment, sensing the tremors of the altar, the Demon God of Chaos rushed over without stopping, even before he had left behind the door.

The altar of the Lord of the Underworld is of no use to these demon gods behind the gate; in fact, the occasional overflow of divine power of law even disgusts them.

However, this does not mean they can allow the contents of this altar to be stolen by people from the outside world.

Having witnessed the war hundreds of years ago, they are naturally wary of a repeat of the past, which is why they arranged for the Deathly Whisper Demon to always guard the altar.

However, no one expected that someone would be able to bypass the sight of all the demons and sneak into the back of the world to take away the items from the altar.

In the eyes of the Chaotic Heart Demon God, the Underworld Altar grew larger and larger.

However, at this moment it was in a state of disintegration, the huge altar was shattered, the statue collapsed and turned into countless pieces of stone falling from the sky.

"Damn crawler, I'll kill you!"

The Demon God of Chaos locked his gaze on the figure on the altar. Suddenly, his demonic power transformed into a huge, ferocious, multi-headed monster with seven heads twisting and turning on its neck, each head having a completely different face.

They cried or laughed, were angry or insane, their eyes filled with blood tears that emitted a strange odor, dripping into the void and forming twisted lines of law.

As Lin Beixuan watched the Chaotic Heart Demon God attack, the panel in his mind flickered, displaying lines of information about the opponent.

"Am I capable of defeating these four demon gods now?" Lin Beixuan looked down at the divine power he had gathered in his hand and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The seven heads of the multi-headed monster opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing out mists of different colors. Wherever the mists passed, ripples spread through the space like water, shattering and collapsing under the influence of the demon's power.

The fog enveloped Lin Beixuan, and he held his breath to prevent the fog from being inhaled.

Yet these eerie mists still managed to penetrate his body through his skin and into his consciousness.

For a moment, Lin Beixuan felt that his soul was affected, and many chaotic thoughts arose within him.

"Its fundamental principle is to forcibly amplify the desires within living beings, such as greed, fear, and gluttony. These desires are manipulated at will, thereby controlling the other's body and ultimately stripping away their soul, turning them into its puppets."

Lin Beixuan bit his tongue, using the pain to awaken his chaotic reason.

Even with his current strength, he would be affected. If the Chaotic Heart Demon God were to return to the battlefield between the two realms, it would likely cause countless people to kill each other.

"It must be left here today!"

Two balls of Netherfire ignited in Lin Beixuan's eyes, and the Book of Life and Death automatically opened in his palm. Countless golden runes appeared on the yellowed pages, spreading towards the seven-colored mist like chains.

The Soul-Snatching Brush hovered beside his hand, its tip gathering a streak of black light that wrote the character 'death' in the void.

Facing the supreme demon god of the four pillars, Lin Beixuan dared not relax in the slightest and went all out from the start.

"Om-"

The moment the runes on the Book of Life and Death collided with the seven-colored mist, the originally chaotic mist was forced back, and the distorted rays of law broke apart inch by inch in the golden light.

At this moment, the Chaotic Heart Demon God had arrived in front of Lin Beixuan. His terrifying pressure shattered the space, and the anger in his eyes surged forth like a tsunami.

The Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath.

In an instant, Lin Beixuan saw the body of the Chaotic Heart Demon God suddenly split apart, transforming into a giant beast with a robust physique, an incredibly large body, and two wings on its back.

This behemoth had two horns on its head, and its body was covered in molten lava. With each breath, it spewed out black smoke that smelled of sulfur.

Its back is covered with dark red scales, and its wings are not made of flesh and blood, but are made of countless broken bone fragments. When it flaps its wings, it brings up a howling wind that engulfs the shattered space around it, turning it into a sharp spatial blade.

"Roar--"

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves transformed into a tangible impact, crushing towards Lin Beixuan.

It strides forward with its powerful limbs, each step causing the void to tremble violently. Its fists are clenched, muscles bulging and veins popping, and it smashes down on Lin Beixuan with a world-destroying momentum.

Lin Beixuan's eyes narrowed, not daring to take the attack head-on. He flipped through the pages of the Book of Life and Death, and the golden runes surged again, transforming into a huge golden light shield to protect him.

"Oh!"

The two divine forces collided suddenly, producing a deafening sound.

Lin Beixuan's brow was torn open, and his dark eyes rolled open, shooting out a beam of black light that could annihilate everything.

The black light pierced through the brow of the Chaotic Heart Demon God, then transformed into a pitch-black light prison to imprison his body.

However, the black light that could have easily annihilated the Great God of Mortals did not inflict fatal damage on the Chaotic Heart Demon God; instead, it further fueled its rage.

The behemoth unleashed another punch, and a terrifying shockwave spread for miles around. Anything that came into contact with it instantly turned to dust. Wu Chi was so shocked that he coughed up blood and stared at the scene in astonishment.

The giant shield, made of golden runes, flickered erratically, with numerous cracks appearing on it, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Lin Beixuan was also thrown backward by the huge impact, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He could sense that the power of this behemoth far surpassed that of any mortal god he had ever seen before. Clearly, the angrier the Chaotic Heart Demon God became, the stronger the behemoth's power would grow.

"If rage alone has such power, the consequences would be unimaginable if it were to unleash the other six sins."

Lin Beixuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Besides wrath, the seven deadly sins are pride, envy, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony.

If each sin possessed power comparable to rage, he would be fighting seven opponents single-handedly. Even with his near-saintly strength, there was still a high probability he would be no match for them.

"Just one of the sins that split off is equivalent to a mortal master. Is this the power of the four upper pillar demon gods?"

Lin Beixuan took a deep breath, no longer hesitating. The Law of Life and Death Reincarnation transformed into the Law of Myriad Tribulations. The sky behind the gate suddenly changed, and the blood-red clouds were quickly replaced by dense black clouds.

Rumble…

Dense thunder roared throughout the heavens and earth, and streaks of black lightning struck down, hitting the giant beast and the Chaotic Heart Demon God.

The body of the Chaotic Heart Demon God turned charred black in the tribulation lightning, but in just a moment, its charred body changed again, splitting off another body.

The Seven Deadly Sins - Envy.

Its eyes were fixed on Lin Beixuan, its tone filled with deep doubt and jealousy. "Why? Why do you possess the power of the Calamity Lord? Its power shouldn't be on you! How dare you steal the power of the Calamity Demon God!"

The 'Jealousy' incarnation split from the Chaotic Heart Demon God was slender as a shadow, with eerie bluish-gray skin and frighteningly bright eyes. Its pupils reflected the myriad tribulations of lightning flowing around Lin Beixuan, and jealousy and resentment intertwined in its eyes.

Instead of rampaging like a rage, it extended its pale finger and gently touched the black lightning falling from the sky.

"Jealousy Space".

As space unfolded, the tribulation lightning that should have shattered the demon god's body strangely twisted its direction the moment it touched its fingertips, turning back to devour Lin Beixuan himself.

Then, the jealous gray hand suddenly transformed into countless enormous vines, with barbs growing on them, the tips of which gleamed with the black light that had shot out from between Lin Beixuan's brows earlier.

Its voice was shrill, like the grating sound of scraping glass: "The power of the Calamity Demon God should belong to me. What right do you, a mere reptile outside the door, have to control it?"

As the black light and tribulation lightning struck him simultaneously, Lin Beixuan's pupils shrank sharply. Just as the two attacks were about to arrive, he used the Soul-Hooking Brush to write the character '无' (nothingness).

The wordless attack flew out, and the two attacks seemed to be pulled into a black hole, suddenly disappearing.

If rage represents power, then jealousy is the embodiment of the power to mimic one's opponent.

Moreover, it's not just a simple imitation; it's the ability to forcibly seize his laws and control.

Lin Beixuan felt more and more that he could not fight the Chaotic Heart Demon God for long, otherwise the pressure he would suffer would be even greater once the other party separated all seven sins.

"As expected, each sinful thought possesses at least the strength of a mortal master and has its own law space."

Lin Beixuan stared at the Chaotic Heart Demon God, dodging its furious attacks while searching for a way to break through.

He discovered that whenever the Chaotic Mind Demon God is attacked, it will randomly split into a sinful incarnation.

"Either I have to kill it with one blow, otherwise it will only continue to split into sinful thoughts, and then it will become more difficult for me to kill it."

As Lin Beixuan thought to himself, he swiftly wrote in the void with the Soul-Hooking Brush. The trajectory of the brush tip condensed into black runes. The moment the runes landed, countless netherfires erupted from under the rubble of the altar, forming a wall of fire to block the tribulation lightning controlled by jealousy.

At the same time, the Book of Life and Death flipped through the pages, and on the yellowed pages, Lin Beixuan wrote down the name of the Demon God of Chaotic Hearts.

The moment it was written, the attacks of jealousy and rage suddenly ceased, and ripples containing the seeds of death spread from the Book of Life and Death.

The light in the eyes of the Chaotic Heart Demon God dimmed instantly, his body became stiff and gray, and he fell toward the ground.

This attack consumed a large amount of Lin Beixuan's divine power. The price of directly writing the name of the Chaotic Heart Demon God to death in the Book of Life and Death was extremely high, and even he did not want to use it lightly.

Because the more powerful an entity is, the stronger its resistance to the rules. Even before you put pen to paper, they may already be aware of it and use their own power of rules to resist.

Therefore, the price Lin Beixuan paid for using the Book of Life and Death to kill the Demon God of Chaotic Mind was unimaginable; it almost exhausted all of his divine power.

"do you died?"

Lin Beixuan gazed at the motionless Jealousy and Rage, then looked down at the Chaotic Heart Demon God who had fallen from the clouds to the ground. Just as he was about to exhale, a burst of arrogant laughter pierced the sky and reached his ears.

"You think you can kill me?!"

The Seven Deadly Sins - Pride.

The arrogant laughter was like metal striking stone, making the void vibrate.

The Demon God of Chaos suddenly floated up, his grayish-white skin returning to normal, and slowly rose into the sky.

Its body tore apart, and another manifestation of sin emerged from its body.

This incarnation of sin was completely different from the previous two. Its body was as upright as a javelin, and its entire body was covered with golden armor. The armor was inlaid with dark red gems, and the gems flowed with a contemptuous light that seemed to look down on all living beings.

It wore a gleaming golden crown on its head. It didn't roar like it was in a fit of rage, nor was it as cunning as it was in a fit of jealousy. It simply raised its chin slightly, and when it glanced at Lin Beixuan, it looked at him as if he were an ant that it could crush under its feet at any moment.

"How dare a mere mortal reptile presume to kill the supreme demon god of the four pillars?"

The voice of the embodiment of arrogance was calm yet carried a chilling pressure.

It stretched out its right hand, its five fingers spread, and an invisible force immediately descended, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Even Lin Beixuan's calamity and the power of life and death reincarnation could not affect it in the slightest.

Arrogance surpasses all living beings, and even the divine power and laws of heaven and earth are not taken seriously by it; it is the strongest of the seven sins.

Lin Beixuan gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the last of his divine power to barely withstand the oppressive force.

He could clearly sense that this arrogant law was not a direct attack, but rather a suppression through its superior position, forcibly leveling the laws of calamity and the cycle of life and death, standing aloof above.

What shocked Lin Beixuan even more was that the Chaotic Heart Demon God had not died under the law of life and death in the Book of Life and Death.

As the natal artifact of the Lord of the Underworld, the Book of Life and Death is used to strengthen the power of the law of life and death reincarnation.

If we say that Lin Beixuan's mastery of the law of life and death reincarnation was eighty percent after he received the power inheritance from the Lord of the Underworld.

With the Book of Life and Death and the Soul-Hooking Pen, he can unleash ten times their power.

Even so, the Demon God of Chaos was still not dead, and even split off an even more powerful incarnation of arrogance.

"Are the four supreme demon gods really that hard to kill?" This thought involuntarily surfaced in Lin Beixuan's mind.

Having played this far, he has come to deeply understand the gap between himself and his opponent.

After accepting the source of the Lord of the Underworld's obsession, he learned that the Lord of the Underworld and Chenlong had each killed one of the Four Pillars of Demon Gods.

Having just experienced the battle with the Chaotic Heart Demon God, Lin Beixuan found it hard to imagine what circumstances the Lord of the Underworld and Chenlong had been able to kill the two Upper Four Pillar Demon Gods.

It should be noted that even the Chaotic Heart Demon God is not at its strongest yet.

If it were to continue splitting into the remaining four sins—greed, gluttony, sloth, and lust—Lin Beixuan couldn't imagine any mortal being capable of restraining the chaotic demon god.

"No wonder Venerable Tiangang's eyes looked a little off when he mentioned the four supreme demon gods of the Upper Four Pillars."

Lin Beixuan recalled what the Heavenly Gang Venerable and others had told him before: the power of the Upper Four Pillar Demon Gods was simply not something that ordinary mortals could contend with.

They are like the embodiment of the unbalanced laws of the Abyss Realm, deeply bound to the unbalanced origin of this world. Unless their connection with the Abyss Realm is severed, even if their physical bodies are destroyed, their remaining souls can be nourished and reborn under the power of the unbalanced origin.
