"I want to say I’m surprised, but who am I kidding?" Wang Wei shook his head.
"This is not the time to be stroking your ego," Wrath glared at him.
"I’m just telling the truth," Wang Wei shrugged.
Wrath looked at Lu Chuntao. "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine. I just need to take some time to remove the corruption," she reassured her with a smile.
"If only things were that simple."
"Shut up," Lu Chuntao snapped at him."Don’t you ever get tired of hearing your own voice?"
"Well, fuck me for trying to help," Wang Wei sighed. "Since you’re not appreciative, let’s get down to business. Hand over the artifact: this is the last shred of mercy I’m willing to extend."
"Hold on," Wrath uttered. "What do you mean by that?"
"Don’t listen to him."
Wang Wei glanced at her, but he remained silent. All transcendent paths are unique; it’s the only way even to have a chance in the first place. It would be one thing if Lu Chuntao had learned from the artifact to create her path, but her idea was to repair the artifact and fuse with it. This plan might have had a slight chance of success had she successfully purified the artifact to remove any will from its creator, but so far, Wang Wei hasn’t detected any signs or attempts at doing so.
"If your life is in danger and he can help, we should hear him out."
"Like I said, I’m fine. I —"
Wang Wei did not care for this family drama, so he raised his hand to summon a karmic line from the past. The Primogenitor Devil promised him the artifact as a reward, and after he last met Wrath, he had cut off that karmic line. Now, he brought it back to forcefully gain control of the artifact.
"Bastard!" Lu Chuntao yelled as she immediately activated all the restrictions placed on the artifact. As such, the black orb that was flying toward Wang Wei suddenly stopped and even slowly backtracked. Wang Wei was calm. The cause and effect between him and the devil race was numerous, so he slowly summoned more of these karmic lines that he had previously cut off to strengthen his connection to the weapon.
Boom!
A towering phantom of his face and figure materialized behind Wang Wei. The colossal creature glanced at the Serpent Empress and released a terrifying aura that made her expression ugly: "Bloodline Suppression," Lu Chuntao said with gritted teeth. News of the Wang Clan condensing a new and terrifying bloodline has already spread, but as of now, no one knows what kind of bloodline it is. But now, she knew it was frightening, to the point it could even suppress all nine of her primordial bloodlines.
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Chuntao’s eyes. All nine bodies exploded into a blood mist, leaving her weak soul. But then, the soul opened its mouth to swallow the mist, using the extreme yang energy from her flesh to nourish the soul. With this newly added vigor, Lu Chuntao’s souls gained even more control of the artifact, pulling it closer to her side.
Wang Wei sighed deeply. "Why do you have to force me to be the villain?" He raised his left hand to make a flicking motion. With a calm gaze, he uttered, "With a flick of my finger, Wrath will be instantly annihilated. So, what will it be? The artifact or her?"
"You!"
"Oh, and don’t think you can revive her. I have already found her Time Mark." A strange rune imprint appeared next to him for a few seconds before disappearing, but its short presence instantly turned Lu Chuntao and Wrath’s expression twisted.
"You wouldn’t dare!"
