Evolution Begins With A Big Tree

Chapter 1290, Void Artifact

At this moment, not only the Dragon Clan, but the Phoenix Clan, the Pantheon, and countless other major Forces had begun to raise their guard.

The Void, after the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree, had become the next major threat.

And unlike the solitary nature of the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree, this was a terrifying race.

Greedy, brutal, and even more fearsome than the Demon Clan because they fed on the Myriad Races themselves.

As for their strength? It went without saying.

The innate talents of the Void Clan such as ignoring defenses and spatial teleportation were lethal enough.

“This Race… is truly worrisome.”

A sigh escaped the Phoenix Queen, Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix, Ni Shang, her tone tinged with helplessness.

Afraid!? Everyone sure was!

But what could they do?

The Void Clan was just too mysterious. They dwelled in the deepest reaches of the Void, where armies could not tread.

After all, only those at Tier-5 or Tier-6 could even set foot in the true depths of the Void.

And even if they could, what then?

Never mind how hard it was to find ordinary Void Creatures in that endless abyss, even locating known Void forces was a monumental challenge.

Just like now the Troll Clan had reported that when their Troll King ventured into the Void, he encountered a Void Emperor, and was surrounded and besieged by hundreds of thousands of Void Creatures, completely pinned down by the salvo of attacks.

And that the Void Clan.

The Myriad Races couldn’t overwhelm them with numbers. And if they ventured too deep, they risked being cornered where their power was suppressed and advantage lost.

They lacked time, they lacked geographical advantage; nothing was in the Myriad Races’ favor.

And so…

“All we can do is wait for a large-scale invasion from the Void…” murmuring to herself, Ni Shang’s lips curled ever so slightly.

If the Void Clan really dared to invade en masse… then they’d simply be marching to their own deaths.

In the depths of the Void, they certainly had the upper hand, but in the starry skies… not a single top-tier Force of the Myriad Races feared them.

That was the confidence of the Myriad Races.

…

What Ni Shang, the proud Queen of the Phoenix Clan, did not yet realize was that the Void Clan’s fangs were already bared.

And these fangs were lethal.

“Are you all ready?” A light laugh echoed in the deepest depths of the Void, as seven figures stood shoulder to shoulder.

“Boss, we’re all set,” came the response from a youth who suddenly stepped forward.

Looking no more than 13-14 years old, the young man had a cold expression and wore an elegant violet suit.

And if one looked closer into his eyes, they would catch a glimpse of a fleeting violet silhouette deep in his eyes, a silhouette that drew the outline of a mantis.

Indeed, this was Zi Lian in his Humanoid Form, aloof and refined just like his personality.

Not far from him stood several other Humanoid figures.

Avril, the Fallen Angel, and the King of the Knights, naturally, they need not to be mentioned.

But the other three were a bit more… intriguing.

The Third King, carrying the mark of Envy, had taken the form of a rebellious youth. The young man looked quite handsome, but he exuded a sinister chill that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Formless remained hidden beneath a shroud of violet mist, just as Yu Zi Yu had described.

However, within the mist, one could vaguely see a slender silhouette, resembling a girl.

Judging by Avril’s tease, she seemed to be a very pretty little loli.

As for the final Void Emperor, Arsenal, he had taken on the form of an old man. His eyes carried the weight of ages, and his long silver hair flowed gently.

However, amidst swirling violet light, countless weapons could be seen hovering around him, rotating silently.

He, too, was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

And this made up six of the seven Original Sins.

Each one of them was extraordinary.

When it came to beings of the same realm, their strength wasn’t just overwhelming—it was outright crushing.

After all, the Void Clan’s innate talents were terrifying to begin with.

Let alone now, when they had received Yu Zi Yu’s guidance.

As the Boss of Original Sins, Yu Zi Yu didn’t hesitate to make these guys stronger.

For instance, he had given each of them a ring.

These were Tier-6 Spirit Rings. Spatial tools capable of storing items.

But more than that, each ring was sealed with a trace of Yu Zi Yu’s power.

Should the seal ever be broken, the destructive force inside would be enough to obliterate anything. It might not wipe out an entire Solar System, but it could easily annihilate a star-sized region.

This included even the wielders of the rings.

In short, these were last-resort trump cards meant only for situations where death was inevitable, and the goal was to drag everything down together.

Apart from that, Yu Zi Yu had also instructed Arsenal to forge a custom weapon for every Original Sins, crafted from the Tier-6 and even Tier-7 materials Yu Zi Yu provided.

Some of them even contained Divine Metals.

Thus, the legendary ‘Seven Sins’, seven weapons in total, came into being.

Each one bore a unique characteristic of the Void, becoming true Void Artifacts.

And all were of Tier-6 quality, not because Arsenal was some godly blacksmith, but because the materials Yu Zi Yu gave were too outrageous.

Even if they were refined in the simplest manner, it would result in Tier-5 Artifacts.

And with Arsenal’s essence being that of weapons, all it took was a little guidance from him for seven Void Artifacts to be born.

Of course, there was an even more frightening way of saying that, rather than being forged, these seven weapons were in fact the manifestations of the will of the Void.

Each weapon held terrifying potential and were not something mere craftsmanship could create.

Just like the violet flying dagger Yu Zi Yu now twirled in his hand.

This was the seventh flying dagger of his Extreme Dao Artifact, Radiant Galaxy, a dagger birthed from the will of the Void itself.

And with this blade’s emergence, Radiant Galaxy was now complete, elevated to a High-Grade Tier-7 Divine Artifact, with signs it might soon ascend to an Ultimate Divine Artifact.

But before that, this violet dagger, which embodied a sliver of Void’s will, would temporarily detach from the full set to act as the personal weapon of Yu Zi Yu’s current identity.

*Hehe…* Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, finding it quite amusing.

He had planned to personally forge the seventh and final blade someday, but by a twist of fate, Arsenal had created it in advance.

No… to be precise, he hadn’t created it.

He couldn’t.

“It must be…” murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu looked up at the boundless, endless Void.

The world had a Will.

The universe had a Will.

And so too… did the Void have a Will.

The Will of the Void had acknowledged Yu Zi Yu’s formation of Original Sins.

And in doing so, it had bestowed Divine Artifacts.

No, not Divine Artifacts, but Void Artifacts.
