Increasingly terrifying howls filled the Void Space, while the Void Space itself began to tremble.

 

This sudden upheaval immediately prompted the Void Creatures making their way towards Purple Dragon to glance toward the nearby storm.

 

At this moment…

 

*Screeeeech…* A piercing cry erupted, and not far from Purple Dragon, a colossal purple bird, so large that it defied imagination, flew out.

 

*Heh heh…* Cold chuckles escaped the Tier-5 Void Creature, who was first to pledge its allegiance to Purple Dragon, stepped forward and remarked, “Your Majesty, for such an ignorant individual to stir trouble in your domain…how utterly vexing.”

 

“Indeed…” Another Tier-5 Void Creature emerged and bluntly remarked, “Whether it’s ignorance or sheer disrespect, choosing to break through so close to you is unacceptable.”

 

As these words fell, a towering Humanoid creature with a purple vertical eye on his forehead stepped forward. His expression was stern, and a faint trace of killing intent flickered in his gaze.

 

This was the Void’s Eighteenth King, the Void King of Solitude. Among the few who had pledged their loyalty when called upon by Yu Zi Yu without a moment of hesitation, he stood out as a rare existence.

 

Although he had not conversed much with Purple Dragon, his act of allegiance placed him firmly in Yu Zi Yu’s camp.

 

He was not acting in Yu Zi Yu’s interest.

 

Naturally, this was also due to their immense strength and complete intelligence.

 

In contrast, Tier-3 and Tier-4 Void Creatures, lacking comparable wisdom, merely growled softly before falling back into silence.

 

The weak had no voice in this world.

 

Only these Tier-5 experts could step forward of their own accord—both to defend Yu Zi Yu’s interests and to demonstrate their own loyalty.

 

Witnessing this, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile.

 

[What a strange feeling.] He thought, his gaze sweeping over the emerging Tier-5 Void Creatures.

 

Though it was their first meeting, they were so proactive in protecting his interests.

 

Such was the way of Void Space—No schemes, no treachery, only submission and unwavering will to defend their chosen Emperor.

 

Now, the two Tier-5 Void Creatures before him—one who bore the mark of ‘Solitude’ and the other ‘Wings’—stepped into Yu Zi Yu’s view.

 

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu softly stated, a rare act on his part, “No need…”

 

Then, with no attempt to hide the truth, he continued, “The one breaking through… is also one of our own. He is the legendary Ninth Void King, bearing the mark of Evolution.”

 

This explanation instantly rendered everyone completely speechless and dumbfounded.

 

While most of the Void Creatures, with their limited intelligence, were unable to fully grasp the magnitude of this revelation, but the Tier-5 Void Creatures, endowed with complete intelligence, could not help but exchange bewildered glances with each other, their expressions twitching in disbelief.

 

[A Void Emperor… even a Void Emperor is under his command!?] Suppressing the upheaval in his heart, the Humanoid being with the vertical purple eye gaze toward the colossal purple bird not far away.

 

Sure enough, even the one who bore the mark of Wings was visibly shaken, His pupils narrowing to pinpoints.

 

However, compared to these two Tier-5 Void Creatures, the one most affected was hidden within the crowd.

 

At this moment, if one looked toward a small corner, they would see an extraordinary creature resembling a Leopard with purple wings on its back. His face bore a kaleidoscope of expressions.

 

He was utterly dumbfounded.

 

“A Void Emperor… a Void Emperor is under his command…” Muttered the deeply hidden creature repeatedly. He was none other than the Third Void King, who bore the mark of Envy. He was shaken to his very core, overwhelmed by indescribably shock.

 

Born of envy, its power grew in tandem with its jealousy.

 

By a twist of fate, driven by his jealousy of Yu Zi Yu’s early ascension to Tier-6 and becoming the first-ever Void Emperor, he himself broke through to Tier-5.

 

This turn of events intertwined his fate with Yu Zi Yu, the Oldest Void Emperors, in an inexplicable manner.

 

But now… the very being he once dreamed of surpassing now had a Void Emperor under his command.

 

And nearby, a Tier-5 peak Void Angel stood silently as a guardian?

 

[This… This…] Struck by an unending shock, the Leopard-like Void Creature with purple wings drooped his head. His shimmering eyes flickered with a turmoil of emotions; his thoughts incomprehensible to outsiders.

 

There was disappointment, there was resentment, but above all, there was despair.

 

When the gap becomes insurmountable… even jealousy feels like a luxury.

 

As a matter of fact, within the Void Space lay a Force that cannot be ignored: the Original Sins—the root of all evil and calamity.

 

The Original Sins were Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

 

In the universe, among all races, every act of sin stems from these Original Sins.

 

Thus, deep within the Void Space, these sins gave birth to monstrous beings symbolizing the Seven Sins.

 

Each of them possessed unimaginable power.

 

This was because Void Creatures bearing the ‘Seven Original Sins’ had wisdom far surpassing that of other beings. Their emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and delight—were no different from the Myriad Races of the universe, often to an even more extreme degree.

 

And in the Void Space, where most creatures operate purely on instinct, what possessing terrifying wisdom meant did not need further explanation.

 

Therefore, Void Creatures bearing the Seven Sins were all Void Kings. Moreover, they were among the highest-ranked kings.

 

For instance, the Void Creature resembling the Leopard bearing the sin of ‘Envy’ was the Void’s Third King.

 

Even the Void Behemoth that Yu Zi Yu slew also bore one of the Seven Original Sins, the sin of ‘Gluttony.’

 

And therein lay the reason why that Void Behemoth was so troublesome to deal with.

 

Void Creatures capable of bearing the Seven Sins were the prodigies among the Void Creatures. Their strength was only natural.
