Chapter 91:Supreme Authority Awakens

Silence.

For one heartbeat...

The battlefield became eerily still.

Then—

SHHHKKK!

A single slash crossed the sky.

Great Elder Vermilion Bird froze.

His sword remained raised.

His eyes widened.

"..."

A crimson line appeared across his chest.

The next instant—

His body split cleanly in two.

The leader of the Murim Alliance fleet fell without another word.

Every surviving disciple stared in horror.

One slash.

One movement.

One death.

The figure slowly turned around.

It still wore Sword Demon's face.

Yet the eyes...

Those ancient, merciless eyes...

No longer belonged to him.

Chunma smiled.

"So this is what freedom feels like."

Inside the temple, Daxia's expression darkened.

"...No."

Lucifer narrowed his crimson eyes.

"He stole Sword Demon's body."

Chirin's voice trembled.

"No..."

"He's adapting."

"Daxia was right."

"He was weakened because his original body had remained sealed for thousands of years."

"But Sword Demon..."

"...is a complete vessel."

Lucifer rolled his shoulders.

"Then we simply cut him down again."

Outside...

The possessed Sword Demon descended slowly.

Every step distorted the air.

The ocean beneath him split apart.

Clouds scattered.

Mountains shook.

Even the stars seemed dimmer beneath his aura.

Daxia stepped forward.

Golden flames erupted around her.

Lucifer rested Chirin across his shoulder.

The Devil smiled.

"Round two."

Without warning—

Chunma vanished.

Lucifer's pupils contracted.

"So fast—"

A fist struck his ribs before he could react.

BOOM!

He was launched through three mountains.

The impact echoed across the continent.

Before he could recover—

Daxia's sword met Chunma's.

The collision lasted less than a second.

Her radiant blade shattered into fragments of light.

A palm strike sent her crashing into the sea.

Water erupted hundreds of meters into the sky.

Lucifer burst from the rubble.

"Wrath."

Crimson flames wrapped around his body.

His muscles tightened.

His aura exploded.

He swung Chirin.

"Cleave!"

The scarlet arc split the heavens.

Chunma raised one finger.

The slash stopped.

It cracked...

Then dissolved.

"As expected," Chunma said calmly.

"You are talented."

"But talent alone cannot bridge millennia."

Lucifer disappeared.

Sloth.

His aura vanished completely.

Even Daxia lost sight of him.

He reappeared behind Chunma.

"Dismantle."

Thousands of invisible cuts descended.

For an instant...

Nothing happened.

Then Chunma's robe split.

A single drop of blood rolled down his shoulder.

He looked at it.

Then smiled.

"You made me bleed."

Lucifer grinned.

"I'll do more than that."

Golden light exploded.

Daxia returned.

The Empress and the Devil attacked together.

Golden fire.

Crimson destruction.

Their techniques intertwined perfectly.

For the first time...

Chunma took a step backward.

The battlefield erupted beneath their exchange.

Space fractured.

Time rippled.

Ancient mountains collapsed.

Entire forests vanished beneath the pressure.

"Greed."

A field spread around Chunma.

Time slowed.

Daxia understood instantly.

She accelerated.

"Solar Judgment!"

Her blade descended.

Lucifer followed.

"Cleave!"

Two supreme techniques struck simultaneously.

The explosion swallowed everything.

Smoke filled the battlefield.

For one hopeful moment...

Silence.

A hand emerged from the smoke.

It caught Daxia's sword.

Another hand seized Lucifer by the throat.

The smoke cleared.

Chunma stood completely unharmed.

"...Is that all?"

He squeezed.

Lucifer felt bones crack.

Daxia tried to intervene.

One kick.

She flew across the battlefield like a falling star.

Lucifer activated Envy.

Thousands of possibilities flooded his vision.

Every attack.

Every movement.

Every opening.

He found one.

He struck.

Chunma was already there.

A knee drove into Lucifer's stomach.

Blood spilled from his lips.

Before he could breathe—

A punch shattered the mountain behind him.

Lust activated automatically.

Pain surged through every nerve.

Instead of weakening...

His strength climbed higher.

Wrath intensified.

Greed expanded.

Sloth flickered.

Every Sin pushed his body beyond its limits.

Still...

He couldn't win.

Daxia forced herself upright.

Golden flames had nearly vanished.

She looked at Lucifer.

"...We cannot defeat him."

Lucifer wiped blood from his mouth.

"Not with this version of me."

Chunma walked toward them.

Unhurried.

Certain.

"You two are remarkable."

"In another thousand years..."

"You might have entertained me."

He raised Sword Demon's blade.

"But today..."

"You die."

The sword descended.

Lucifer instinctively reached forward.

Not toward Chunma—

But toward something buried deep within his own soul.

Something that had remained dormant since the day he became the Devil.

The System's voice echoed.

Cold.

Ancient.

Absolute.

《Condition Fulfilled》

《Host has mastered every individual Sin.》

《Evolution Requirement Achieved.》

The world froze.

Even Chunma's blade stopped inches from Lucifer's face.

A brilliant crimson sigil unfolded beneath his feet.

One circle.

Then another.

Seven symbols appeared around him.

Each representing one deadly sin.

The heavens darkened.

The earth trembled.

Reality itself bent.

The System spoke once more.

Supreme Authority: Seven Deadly Sins

Type: Divine Evolution Skill

Rank: Evolvable

"Every sin is a law. Every law is mine to command."

One after another...

The symbols ignited.

Wrath – Infernal Fury

Gluttony – Abyssal Feast

Sloth – Void Silence

Envy – Mind Reflection

Greed – Time Distortion

Pride – Sovereign Mirror

Lust – Pain Conversion

Chunma's smile slowly faded.

For the first time since awakening...

His expression became serious.

"...What..."

"...are you?"

Lucifer slowly opened his eyes.

Seven different colors flashed within his crimson pupils before merging into one.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"This..."

"...changes everything."

The air cracked.

The seven sigils began rotating around him.

Then—

The first law awakened.

To Be Continued...
