Chapter 404: Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, a Trinity
Chapter 404: Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, a Trinity
"Success, it seems I've found your weakness."
"It's truly a pity. You obtained the insect race's youneng, but you didn't get the core knowledge."
Qin Muye's face twisted into a sinister smile. The youneng indeed caused a qualitative change in the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, but they didn't acquire the insect race's knowledge.
It was like a protagonist picking up an ultimate divine technique, immediately practicing it without asking why, only knowing that success would grant immense power.
The three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were in this situation. They obtained the youneng, believing it to be all-powerful.
But Qin Muye, carrying knowledge from multiple world systems, found it easy to deal with them, let alone ordinary people.
What? Exploiting the weak? Don't be ridiculous. The Divine You Emperor could exploit, the three demons could use, and why couldn't Qin Muye take action?
The Divine You Emperor and the three demons were from the same world as these ordinary people. They didn't care, so why should Qin Muye, an outsider, feel hesitation or compassion? That would be absurd.
All of them were villains; there was no question of high or low, noble or base.
As Qin Muye seized their weakness, the abyssal power in his hand gently drifted out, transforming into a terrifying demonic tide that swept across the entire Great You Dynasty.
Anyone enveloped by the demonic tide, whether ordinary people or sorcerers, had their frontal lobes instantly destroyed, but they didn't die. Instead, they became mindless zombies.
If they eventually died, it didn't matter. As long as they no longer provided emotions and desires to Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, their deaths would not benefit the demons.
Qin Muye even welcomed this, as it would force people to become skeleton soldiers.
His actions were extremely extreme. The Divine You Emperor, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, trying to use his divine will to counter Qin Muye's abyssal demonic tide.
After all, the Divine You Emperor wanted to reshuffle the deck, not truly destroy the Great You Dynasty.
If everyone died, leaving only him, how could the Great You Dynasty continue to stand? Therefore, he had to stop it.
With full effort, he managed to halt the spread of the abyssal demonic tide.
"Hmph, favoring one side, are you? I not only plan to do this, but I'll do it thoroughly!" Qin Muye's nature was to either not act at all or to act decisively.
Since he had offended them, he would destroy their entire family, to prevent the smaller demons from bringing in the older ones later.
The violent abyssal demonic tide instantly shattered the Divine You Emperor's divine will barrier, quickly covering the entire world.
For Qin Muye, who had already reached the 8th stage, the 7th-stage sorcerer realm of the Great You Dynasty was too small, so small that it had no value at all.
"Lord of the Demon Land, you dare?" The Divine You Emperor's roar erupted, his divine will forming a protective space, saving the capital from the abyssal demonic tide.
At the same time, the black heart floating above the Great You Dynasty began to beat more slowly.
With no one providing it with desires and emotions, its heart stagnated, everything appearing so tragic.
"Lord of the Demon Land? Hmph, proud natives, I have always called you natives, not savages, out of respect for you."
"But what about you? You have always used the derogatory term 'Demon Land' to refer to us. Is it because I was not active enough that you thought I was weak and easy to bully?"
Qin Muye's voice was agitated, and his actions were brutal, instantly shattering the barrier the Divine You Emperor had erected.
He didn't care about reputation or public opinion, but he remembered every insult clearly. The term "Demon Land" was always a term of contempt used by the Great You Dynasty to refer to his Endless Abyss territory.
A term of contempt that had never changed.
Although Qin Muye never asked them to change it, it didn't mean he didn't care.
"Now, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll send you on your way." Qin Muye spoke these words, but his actions were swift.
After all, talking nicely was one thing, but his hands couldn't stop.
Talking to the enemy was normal, but it was best to do so while beating them. This way, the enemy wouldn't contradict you and would implicitly accept your views.
Like now, the Divine You Emperor was struggling to survive, let alone speak, as the abyssal demonic tide had already swept across the entire world, sparing no one.
"Hiss~ Thinking about it, I seem more like a world-ending crisis now?"
Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the Divine You Emperor, Qin Muye suddenly noticed a change in the heart.
This feeling was akin to a sudden burst of power?
"It's a forced awakening, but it's more like an early depletion of potential."
(A kind of burst, but more like prematurely exhausting potential.)
The heart ruptured, and countless black smoke tendrils emerged, corroding a massive hole in the abyssal demonic tide that Qin Muye had unleashed.
"I never thought my failure would be in this way."
A tripartite voice echoed, the black smoke forming a deformed figure.
Greed, Hatred, and Delusion had not successfully become a high-dimensional demon, or perhaps they had only succeeded halfway. They had reached the 8th stage, but their power did not match the expected level.
If they had fully developed, their strength would have been on par with Qin Muye's 8th stage. Unfortunately, Qin Muye had seized their weakness and delivered a fatal blow.
"Never thought? Ha, so what?" Qin Muye immediately ignored the Divine You Emperor, withdrawing his focus to deal with Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.
"You say we are too proud, but the truly arrogant one is you. You have never taken us seriously, whether it was your arrival or your destruction. You never considered that this is our world, not yours as an outsider." Greed, Hatred, and Delusion spoke.
Qin Muye found the other's words quite reasonable and could not immediately find a way to refute them verbally. But that was fine; if words were insufficient, he would express himself with his fists.
As long as the message was conveyed, that was enough.
Qin Muye could not argue with the other, so he decided to take action.
The world began to tear apart, and the surging abyssal demonic tide, with its unparalleled might, crushed toward Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.
Since the other was weaker, he would simply crush them, without needing any fancy techniques or complicated moves.
The deformed figure floated within the demonic tide, seemingly unconcerned about the possibility of death. Instead, they continuously manipulated the yoneng to trigger even more terrifying psychic storms.
However, Qin Muye quickly intercepted and firmly returned.
"I do have a weakness, but so do you!" the voice of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion echoed.
Greed, Hatred, and Delusion had never targeted Qin Muye; their target was the Spirit Realm.
The current Spirit Realm was being refined by Ji Shan, who was too weak to resist Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.
But this also indirectly revealed a weakness of the demons.
Although Qin Muye had a firm grip on Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, he could not kill them because they existed in a dimension higher than his.
He could shatter the moon, but not the flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.
The presence that had manifested in the real world was merely a projection of the demons. Fortunately, Qin Muye had dealt with it in advance; otherwise, if they had fully evolved into true high-dimensional demons, Qin Muye would have been in serious trouble.
As long as Ji Shan successfully merged with the Dao, he would possess the power of the Spirit Realm and have a chance to face Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. With Qin Muye's assistance, killing them would be more than possible.
More importantly, the crisis of the high-dimensional demon had not been resolved, indicating that Greed, Hatred, and Delusion could still replenish themselves even without emotions and desires from others.
Qin Muye knew without a doubt that they would use the Spirit Realm, a psychic sub-dimension, to replenish themselves.
Thus, facing a high-dimensional projection was indeed challenging for Qin Muye. He could not kill the projection, as it was not the true form of the demons.
Moreover, he could not effectively isolate it, as the demons moved in higher dimensions, allowing only limited obstruction.
"I hope your spatial expertise is enough to break out within three to five months; otherwise, you should have heard of the Klein bottle."
Qin Muye muttered, as the space within the abyssal demonic tide started to fragment and transform. Greed, Hatred, and Delusion keenly sensed the spatial alterations.
To deal with a fourth world-ending disaster, he had experience. Since he could not kill them, he would confine them, letting them delete themselves.
Although Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were not players of the fourth world-ending disaster, the principle was similar. They were just a unique life form, far weaker in strength compared to Qin Muye, who aimed to buy time.
The demons, however, had a different goal: to use the Spirit Realm to replenish themselves. With different objectives, they naturally employed different methods.
"It seems you haven't heard of the Klein bottle." Qin Muye looked at the trapped Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, unable to escape, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
