Chapter 1741: Three Sins Assault

On the fortress made of formations on top of the mountain, the expressions of the experts who were guarding it changed. This was because layers of formations had suddenly been erased at some unknown time. Immense amounts of corruption source origin capable of blotting out the sun surged towards them. As the soldiers looked on with hazy eyes, three figures walked forward.

The first figure was an old lady carrying a basket of fresh, colorful flowers. Her expression was kind, but there was a world of endless miasma in the void behind her. Inside the miasma were countless living creatures wailing out in pain. The more they wailed, the denser the miasma became.

The second figure was a young man who was bare-headed and barefooted. The strangest thing about him was that there was a black mouth in each of his palms, constantly chewing greedily as though they wished to consume everything.

The last one was a man with black curved horns on his forehead, his eyes as black as ink. He radiated an indescribable aura that would cause an ordinary King to feel immense fear and sap their will to fight.

The three Devil Kings of Sin had arrived!

Warning bells rang out, and mighty formations descended in front of the fortress. Countless experts emanating powerful source origin fluctuations assembled on the peaks of the surrounding mountains. They were all famous Kings from every corner of the divine continents.

Within the group were two peak Triple Crowned Kings, the Principals of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College and the Mythical Spirit Ancient College, Ling Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu. Li Tianji, Zhu Zhongming, and the other leaders of the Heavenly Emperor powers of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent were also present.

The East Divine Continent's Kings were also dispatched here, including the likes of Pang Qianyuan. The forces gathered here were almost considered extravagant. There were no less than three divine continents worth of Kings present. However, when faced with the threat of three Devil Kings of Sin, none of them could feel at ease.

They all understood that behind these three was a never-ending flood of Other Kings as well. Just the three Devil Kings of Sin alone would be difficult to deal with, much less all the other minions they controlled.

Ling Xuan was standing in the air, her expression heavy. The Devil Kings of Sin had penetrated their defensive line even quicker than expected. Their opponents had not scattered their troops—they had focused everything they had onto a single spot, targeting this particular focus point of the Ten Continents Universe Rampart. Clearly, the Shadow World's Other Kings weren't idiots. They knew that destroying the formation was the highest priority.

"The good news is that the restraining pressure the Ten Continents Universe Rampart afflicts on ordinary Other Kings is still effective. Thus, they were unable to follow these three all the way here. The bad news is that we won't be able to stop them even though there are only three of them," said Xiao Lingzhu, smiling bitterly.

Ling Xuan emotionlessly replied, "There's no need for unnecessary jokes." Li Tianji and the other Kings behind them could only shake their heads.

Ling Xuan then took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone else is busy protecting their own locations, so we will not have reinforcements any time soon. That said, we must protect this portal even if it costs us our lives. If we allow the Devil Kings of Sin to damage the Ten Continents Universe Rampart, the defensive line across the Heavenly Star Plains will be penetrated and we will have no other way to resist."

Her gaze turned decisive as she continued, "Triple Crowned Kings, follow me as I use the strength of the Universe Rampart to restrain these enemies!"

She was incredibly clear on how strong the Devil Kings of Sin were. Only a Supreme Triple Crowned King was capable of resisting them. Even though Xiao Lingzhu and her were both peak Triple Crowned Kings, they couldn't even deal with a single Devil King of Sin, much less three of them. Fortunately, they had the Universe Rampart, something that had been set up with the help of their Heavenly Emperors. This was the only way they could hold on.

"Yes, ma'am!" Li Tianji, Zhu Zhongming, Zhao Huaijin, and the other Triple Crowned Kings assented in unison without hesitation. A moment later, all of the Triple Crowned Kings summoned their crowns, causing boundless waves of source origin to flow around them, transforming into a rainbow of energy that connected with the Ten Continents Universe Rampart.

Bang!

The surrounding worldly natural energy shook violently as humongous halos of light appeared on the barrier. Each of these halos contained all sorts of different types of source origin energy, originating from the Triple Crowned Kings.

As the divine continents' forces made their preparations, the three Devil Kings stepped forward. They were wrapped with terrifying amounts of source origin as they stepped towards the portal. The formations that had been brought over by numerous powers, created with all their strength, quietly collapsed and disintegrated before the Devil Kings.

They were almost invincible when they were together. This sight caused the ordinary Kings to turn pale.

"Divine Continents' Devil Suppressing Halo!" At this moment, the attacks prepared by Xiao Lingzhu and the rest materialized. Countless source origin halos had been completely constructed, and as they spun, they projected a series of source origin halos of light that tightly bound the trio of Devil Kings. The void within the halos was completely locked down, preventing anything from moving.

The Devil Kings were forced to stop, as though they were mosquitoes covered in amber. Unfortunately, they weren't as weak as mosquitoes.

The elderly lady, who was the Pestilence Devil King of Sin, smiled. Although it seemed benevolent, the Kings of the divine continents looked at it in fear as it said, "Children, I will use your bones to grow a field of flowers across this mountain."

It then took the flower basket off its wrist. The basket was filled with a multitude of plants, some extremely beautiful. However, they suddenly began to wither, turning into a seven-colored miasma. The cries of innumerable sentient creatures echoed inside. It was like the most terrifying poison in the world.

As the seven-colored miasma dispersed, it even poisoned the surrounding worldly natural energy. As a result, the source origin halos that had sealed the Devil Kings began to dissipate at an alarming speed.

The poisonous fog began to waft further. A Single Crowned King caught a whiff of the piercing fragrance of a flower. However, to his absolute horror, his crown started to dissolve at a rapid pace.

The Fear and Gluttony Devil Kings of Sin similarly demonstrated their own terrifying attacks. Two extremely dense waves of corruption source origin swept out, causing the source origin halos to continue to break down at an even more rapid pace. After which, the trio continued to walk forward unobstructed.

Weng!

The void shook violently and wailed in their presence. Then the void behind them suddenly cracked apart, and a rapidly expanding formation appeared. As the formation grew, it spewed out greater and greater amounts of corruption source origin. Soon after, Other Kings frantically emerged from spatial rifts opening within the corruption. The newly arrived Other Kings immediately started to attack the forces of the divine continents.

The situation had suddenly gone from bad to worse.
