Way of the Devil - Chapter 659

Chapter 659: 659

 “Kill!” Augustus bit his tongue . The painting veins all over his body shone white . He instantly broke free from the illusion .

There was another flurry of motions before his eyes . Before anyone knew it, he was already upon Lu Sheng . He raised his spear and stabbed it toward Lu Sheng’s chest .

Seemingly at the same moment, Jelian and a few other Painting Saints made their moves as well . They cooperated with the huge amounts of Heaven’s Net threads .

It was a combination of the ionized spear, sickle covered in potent poison that left afterimages in its wake, the most powerful anti-machine huge-caliber armor-penetrating rounds, a unique whip with corrosive properties, and other weapons .

Various weapons with their powerful attacks landed on Lu Sheng’s body .

Everyone had been pulled into the palace by the illusion just now . They practically used all their power to break free of the illusion . Now, they charged at Lu Sheng .

Rumble!

The many attacks formed a huge explosion . The semi-transparent white energy wave instantly erupted into a giant hemisphere . It instantly covered the distance of several kilometers .

“Pchht! Pchht! Pchht!”

Human figures reeled from the explosion, and crashed heavily into the centers of buildings . They shattered the concrete walls with their steel skeletons .

The white energy wave slowly dispersed . Lu Sheng grabbed at Augustus’s neck with his hand . His metallic-like body did not even have a single scratch .

“Meaningless struggle,” Lu Sheng said calmly . “Augustus, do you see the difference between us now?”

“Keh, keh…” Augustus hacked . His white painting veins pulsed intensely . They gave him bursts of strength, which he used to try and break free from Lu Sheng’s control .

However, the burst of strength from the white radiance was meaningless to Lu Sheng .

“I… am God’s Eye… a son of god… I’m the most powerful… Painting Saint!” He struggled to raise an arm . White radiance pulsed on his fingertips, which he aimed toward Lu Sheng’s chest .

“Looks like… you’ve made the wrong choice…” There was great pity in Lu Sheng’s eyes .

“Crack . ”

He exerted force with his hand . Augustus’s neck snapped in an instant . His head was forcefully severed from his body .

“Arghh!”

Jelian charged toward Lu Sheng with a fierce look . His body was covered in gaping wounds the size of a child’s mouth . However, he knew that with Augustus dead, they would not have any good ending if they did not risk their lives .

However, he had no regrets . Painting Saints had their own sense of pride . Throughout the years when they were being controlled, regardless of the reason they rebelled, they shared one similarity .

They were all poisoned by the Silver Master .

“Glory!” Furious, forlorn shouts sounded from afar .

“Pchht! Pchht! Pchht! Pchht!”

Countless arrows of white radiance flew toward Lu Sheng like locusts .

Lu Sheng looked up toward the Glorious Knights in the distance .

He suddenly turned sideways, and kicked the wall of the building to his right .

“Crack!”

Huge cracks and dents immediately appeared on the back of the building . The 80-meter-tall building snapped, and rolled as it crashed toward the Glorious Knights .

“Rumble!”

Dust and rubble scattered everywhere . The 80-meter-long building crashed into a faraway iron tower, which was more than 200 meters tall . After it broke the iron tower, both buildings crashed onto the Glorious Knight’s camp .

Only a handful of the 100-man strong Glorious Knights managed to escape in time . The others were crushed by the immense weight . They died a gruesome death in the blink of an eye .

This was absolute power .

“See that?” Lu Sheng gazed into the distant skies . For a time, he seemed to have comprehended something .

“This is my power, my path, my everything . ” He suddenly understood what kind of crest was needed on his radiant disc .

Gunfire sounds had already stopped . The painters from the God’s Eye stopped their attacks as well . Although the members of the Black Light Hand suffered great losses, there were still a small group of the Silver Hand painters who were loyal to Lu Sheng . The painters gathered here and surrounded the place .

However, if Lu Sheng, who stood at the center, did not give the order, nobody would dare make any move .

The God’s Eye, the Silver Hand, the Federal High Investigation Department, the local government, and even the remnants of the Zhao and Zhuo Families .

Everyone gathered there could not help but fix their gaze on Lu Sheng, who stood above all the rest .

The God’s Eye had lost its leader . The four great Painting Saints were either dead from the great explosion or heavily wounded from the fight .

There was no one left capable of resisting Lu Sheng .

“Hiss…”

Lu Sheng waved his arm . A pitch-black painting of a peculiar huge ring appeared before himself .

“Deep Blue . ” In front of everyone else, he called out Deep Blue in his mind .

“Swish . ”

The light blue modifier’s interface popped up before his eyes .

The insight he had gained just now instantly added two rules that were now near perfection .

However, there were still only three crests on his radiant disc, Yin Flames, poison, and Mystic Water .

“The next crest is…” Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly .

“Add power!”

Power, power, power, power, power, power!

In an instant, the radiant disc shuddered . A huge chunk went out of his Mental Energy units . The next crest would be filled in by the nearly complete power rule which Lu Sheng had just gained insight on .

The six crests formed were in the shapes of palms which represented power . The difference was that each crest represented powers of different attributes .

The power of speed, the power of combustion, the power of toughness, pure brute force, explosive power, and regenerative power .

Six different power systems were combined with the remaining three crests . They caused huge changes in the Heart World .

The six different crests brought with them six different rules, and they became the fundamental rules of his Heart World .

The gaps in the rules were filled in . The land of his Heart World started to shake . Even the original poison crest was mercilessly purged of impurities by Lu Sheng . He switched it for benign toxins which were more beneficial in making his body stronger .

Besides Yin Flames, the Mystic Water crest was also switched out by Lu Sheng for a rule of pure water . It would be used to coordinate the mixture of other power crests .

The world was being reset .

**********

God’s Eye Augustus was dead . The most powerful Painting Saint was now the Silver Master Lu Sheng .

The Federal High Investigation Department suffered great losses . The investigation department’s elites who stood behind the Glorious Knights were practically caught in the crossfire, and most of them lost their lives—this included their current department head .

The battle at Kunming City made the world truly understand the power of painters .

The Silver Hand suffered great losses as well . The four great Painting Saints rebelled, and the upper ranks were practically vacant now . Many of the middle-ranked painters were promoted by Lu Sheng . The Painting Saints of the God’s Eye were also annihilated .

The world’s painting path plunged into an unprecedented period of recession .

The Silver Master Lu Sheng became the world’s only Painting Saint . He was also the most powerful Painting Saint .

…… .

…… .

August 12th .

Kunming City .

Lu Sheng placed a bouquet of white flowers softly onto the bedside cabinet .

“Are you feeling better now? Can you get up?”

“I’m not dead yet . What’re you bringing the damn flowers for!?” When Zhuo Siqing saw the bouquet on the bedside cabinet, his face went ghastly pale .

“Big… Big Brother…!” In the patient’s room, Zhuo Xinxin, who had been taking care of Zhuo Siqing, stood up, flustered . She lowered her head, and dared not look at Lu Sheng . She even stuttered as she called him brother .

“Zhuo… Xin… xin? That’s your name, right?” Lu Sheng ignored Zhuo Siqing . He looked at this younger sister of his from another mother .

“Yes, it is!” Zhuo Xinxin hastily replied . Her body was slightly shaking from nervousness .

“I hope this old geezer didn’t do any depraved things to you,” Lu Sheng said .

“Bullsh*t! Zhuo Zhenyu, I’m seriously getting angry if you keep at this!” Zhuo Siqing immediately shouted . He was about to get up .

Zhuo Xinxin’s face flushed red . She was not sure what she should say .

“Alright, alright . It was a joke . ” Lu Sheng laughed . The atmosphere of the patient’s room immediately warmed up .

“That wasn’t funny at all . Have you settled your business? I see that you have free time on your hands for you to be here . ”

“I’m working on it . It’s almost done . ”

“If you’re not careful in doing it, you might be betrayed again, just like last time…” Zhuo Siqing reminded him .

“It’s alright . If there’s a mutiny, I’ll switch them out again . There’s no shortage of manpower in this world,” Lu Sheng said casually .

Zhuo Siqing looked at this son of his . He could not put his finger on it, but he felt that something was off . The feeling of suddenly becoming a peak figure in the world from an ordinary wealthy man was too strange .

He was not prepared in the least .

He was not even sure how he should be facing his son . Fortunately, his son’s attitude was the same as ever .

More than two weeks had passed since the great battle . The God’s Eye and the Silver Hand were being widely reported by the world media .

This resulted in the already popular painting profession experiencing a peak in the influx of new blood .

As the world’s overlord, the Silver Hand had received an overwhelming amount of applications . The Silver Master Lu Sheng who single-handedly defeated the God’s Eye and the former upper-ranks of the Silver Hand was deemed as a demon god .

Two weeks was enough time for the remaining members of the Zhuo Family to accept the reality .

The members of the Zhao Family were all captured and imprisoned . They were on the death row . The entire Kunming City was now under Lu Sheng’s control . The upper-ranks of the federation were also switched out . 60% of the world’s nations were practically controlled by the Silver Hand in secret .

The foundations had been originally laid by the God’s Eye .

“Your wounds will be healed soon . I have some other business to attend to . If there’s anything, you can reach me with this number . ” Lu Sheng gave Zhuo Siqing a number . He comforted Zhuo Xinxin, turned around, and left the room .

Lu Sheng walked into the corridor, where he saw Lin Shengya standing at the exit . She seemed to be waiting for him .

Lin Shengya bit her lower lip, and softly said, “Zhuo Zhenyu, can I make a request?”

Lu Sheng looked at the time . “You have 30 seconds . ”

“Alright, I’ll be frank . I want to ask you to spare uncle and his family . They’ve suffered enough . There’s no need to be so thorough in this matter,” Lin Shengya pleaded in a soft tone .

“You’ll have to speak to my father on this . According to the results of the investigation, the person who orchestrated his road accident was that uncle you’ve just mentioned,” Lu Sheng replied casually . He walked past Lin Shengya .

Currently, the nine cornerstones of his Confusion Realm were in place . Although he practically spent all of his Mental Energy, and he was only left with several hundred thousand units, everything was worth it .

As long as his Heart World was complete, he would be able to supply feedback from his Heart World to his physical body, thereby achieving the objective of true improvement .

Confusion Realm .

He had been looking forward to this for a long time now .
