The faceless man was too strong!
The power of Bu Fang’s Chaos Pot was stronger than the attack of a duke, and yet it only crushed one of the man’s fingers. For an existence of this level, the damage of flesh was nothing at all. He could recover almost instantly. And once he did, a new round of attacks would come!
A terrible aura pervaded the air, while the sky rang to the rumbling of energy. At this moment, the world seemed to darken. The atmosphere became oppressive as the Spears of the Seven Great Sins aimed at Bu Fang.
The power of the Great Sins was the power of great purity. It suppressed a Great Soul Overlord’s power of sin, and its strength was unmatched. Bu Fang had experienced it just now. It could be said to be the Soul God’s exclusive power, similar to the Queen of Curses’ pure power of curses.
Bu Fang narrowed eyes. Suddenly, his aura changed. He had let Qilin possess him. Although the Artifact Spirit might not be able to defeat the faceless man, he would be at least fast enough to react to the attack.
With a ripping sound, Whitey broke free of the bondage. Mechanical eyes flashing, it raised its arms, which turned into two barrels. The next moment, two purple energy beams shot out of the barrels and went straight toward the faceless man. They were going to put two holes in him.
The one-armed man elegantly pointed out a finger. At the gesture, one of the spears, which was shrouded in the power of envy, turned and collided with Whitey’s energy beams. It effortlessly destroyed the energy beams, then continued to push at Whitey, causing it to keep retreating.
Meanwhile, the faceless man flicked his remaining fingers at Bu Fang. A rumbling sound erupted and the void crumbled as the six spears shot toward him.
Bu Fang, possessed by Qilin, focused his eyes and roared. The next moment, a colossal Qilin emerged behind him, emanating a mighty aura like a monster who had just awakened. It roared, too, then charged forward to meet the six Spears of the Great Sins.
As they drew closer to each other, the Qilin threw a paw at the spears. However, it was instantly pierced by them. Energy spilled everywhere.
Inside Bu Fang’s spirit sea, his pupils were constricting. The other Artifact Spirits hovered around him.
“Little Host… We’re no match for him!” said Divine Dragon.
“Let me out. In my eyes, everything is rubbish…” White Tiger held his head up arrogantly.
“You? Forget it… Even Qilin is losing now. If Little Host lets you out, you’ll be instantly defeated.” Divine Dragon rolled his eyes at White Tiger. His words were harsh, but what he said was true. Bu Fang said nothing. He just focused on the battle outside.
Bu Fang, possessed by Qilin, was pushed to his limit by just a few spears. He had attacked with the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, Qilin Transmigration Ladle, and White Tiger Heaven Stove, but they barely matched the formidable strength of the Spears of the Great Sins.
In the sky, the faceless man cocked his head. He seemed a little surprised as he watched Bu Fang resist. Meanwhile, many people were shocked. They could not believe that Bu Fang could resist for so long with the strength of a Saint of the Great Path. Even a duke would be instantly killed by the faceless man.
Bu Fang, or Qilin, fell to the ground with a crash. The spears followed, thrust into the ground around him, and trapped him in the middle like a cage.
At this moment, Foxy leaped into the air and sped over. She opened her mouth. A volley of Soul Demon meatballs poured out from her throat and went toward the faceless man. Lord Dog and Er Ha joined the attack. Houtu and the little girl Cursey found themselves a spot and hid there. They did not want to become a burden.
Suddenly, the Spears of the Great Sins disappeared, then they reappeared around the faceless man.
Bu Fang stood up, panting heavily. Qilin had left his body. Foxy lay down listlessly on his shoulder as smoke rose from between her jaws. Meanwhile, Lord Dog and Er Ha came to them so they could fight together. The pressure was too huge. The aura emanating from the arm filled them both with dread.
“It’s over!” Soul said in a confident voice. To the man in front of her, these people were nothing. She knew that if he struck out, everything here would be destroyed. This was especially true when he had not yet unleashed his full power.
The three Great Soul Overlords were laughing excitedly. “We’ve won! His Excellency has awakened!”
The faceless man raised his hand and flicked his fingers as if he was playing a melodious tune with a zither. With that, the seven Spears of the Great Sins shot whistling out once more.
Bu Fang frowned, while Lord Dog and the others felt the pressure mount. The nobles of Void City had long since fallen into despair. What should they do? It was really hard to live without the Queen of Curses!
The world fell silent as the Spears of Great Sins flew toward Bu Fang.
Suddenly, a deafening rumble echoed out from the Queen of Curses’ palace behind him. It shook everyone mentally and physically.
The stone doors came flying out with a crash and rushed toward the spears. They collided; the doors shattered into pieces in an instant, but the spears did not slow down at all.
The next moment, a black ship came drifting out of the palace, crashing through the void. With her hands clasped behind her, Nethery stood on the deck, her black dress fluttering. Her face was indifferent as she came between Bu Fang and the spears.
The air rang to the whistle of the spears as they closed in on Bu Fang. However, Nethery simply waved her hand, and they immediately turned around and flew back toward the faceless man.
Soul’s pupils narrowed, and her eyes turned red. ‘It’s her! It’s Nethery! Dammit! That place should be mine!’ she screamed in her mind as jealousy filled her.

The nobles of Void City knelt excitedly when they saw that. It was as though they had seen hope. Yes, they did not have the Queen of Curses, but they had Nethery! After becoming the Queen of Curses’ successor, she should have the strength to stop that faceless man!
“Scram,” Nethery said.
Her eyes were black, and the green crystal on her forehead gleamed evilly. Suddenly, it flashed, then a monstrous cursed snake, who looked lifelike and was completely different from before, slithered out from under the Netherworld Ship. Hissing, the snake rushed into the sky.
The faceless man raised his arm and waved his hand. The power of sin immediately materialized into a huge palm, which swatted at the cursed snake. The collision shook the void, and the cursed snake was thrown to the ground by a mighty force.
As a plume of dust rose into the sky, more cursed snakes emerged around the Netherworld Ship, all hissing savagely. It seemed that after inheriting the Queen’s strength, Nethery could fight the faceless man!
“The faceless man’s strength has not yet reached the level of the Soul God. He is only about as strong as the strongest Great Soul Overlord…” said Lord Dog.
“He’s so strong?” Bu Fang was a little bit surprised.
“No, he’s not considered strong… The Soul God can kill someone of this level with just one slap.” Lord Dog shook his head. “There should be experts of this level in the Primitive Universe, but none can be found in the Chaotic Universe.”
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. He did not expect the Chaotic Universe to be this weak. But he could not blame Lord Dog. If Lord Dog and the other Heavengods had not been wounded by the Soul God’s arm, one of them might have already become an existence no weaker than the strongest Great Soul Overlord after countless years of accumulation.
Nethery’s overbearing voice made the faces of all the Soul Demons flicker. Soul’s expression also changed. “How dare you be so rude?!” she shouted. She would not allow anyone to be rude to the faceless man.
Standing on the Netherworld Ship, Nethery gave her a cold look. “Who do you think you are?”
Soul shuddered when she heard that.
The faceless man kept waving his hand, sending the Spears of Great Sins to collide with the cursed snakes over and over again.
The sound of explosions swept across the air, causing the whole Void City to tremble. From afar, one could see that gravel kept falling off of the inverted cone-shaped mountain, which was the base of the city, and drifted across the starry sky.
Nethery’s overbearing attitude filled the experts of Void City with confidence. Both Duchess Tianlian and Duchess Nightmare looked at her with complicated expressions. It surprised them to see a hint of the former Queen’s temperament in her after she had inherited the throne.
Duchess Tianlian was the one with the most complicated mood. She wanted to preserve Void City by putting Soul on the throne, for she knew the identity of the man behind Soul, who was so high and mighty that she could hardly breathe upon thinking of him.
But she had not expected that Soul did not care about their relationship at all. She should have known this. How could someone who had survived the Soul Demon Universe be bothered by an old relationship? She must have been possessed to pin her hopes on Soul.
‘Perhaps resisting is the only way out now…’ she thought to herself.
Soul was so jealous that she was almost mad. She was supposed to possess this mighty strength. Nethery’s strength was beyond her imagination. The Queen of Curses’ throne really lived up to its name!
The faceless man was forced back. Clearly, Nethery, who had acquired the Cursed Stone and inherited the Queen’s will, had suppressed him.
Bu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. It never occurred to him that it would be Nethery who fended off the imminent crisis for him. Memories flashed in his mind as he looked at the familiar Netherworld Ship and the slim figure standing on it.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed out across heaven and earth. That gave everyone pause, including Bu Fang, Lord Dog, and Er Ha.
Duchess Nightmare’s expression changed dramatically. She sensed a familiar aura. “This aura…” she murmured, looking up at the sky. There, the sky slowly ripped open, then a large hand stretched out of it and slapped toward Nethery.
“It’s the strongest Great Soul Overlord!”
The Soul Demons went into an uproar, and the three Great Soul Overlords were extremely excited. Of the seven Great Soul Overlords, Sloth was the strongest. He was lazy, but because of that, his strength had climbed to the top of the Soul Demon Universe, second only to the Soul God.
The arm swept at Nethery. The cursed snakes soared into the sky to intercept it. However, they were all crushed by it. Nethery’s face grew serious.
“The future Queen of Void City, don’t you think that it’s not so appropriate to bully our Soul God, who has not yet awakened?”
A deafening voice echoed throughout heaven and earth. The almighty expert spoke really slowly, and it took him a very long time to finish that.
It was Sloth Great Soul Overlord! The experts of Void City turned pale, while the faces of Bu Fang, Lord Dog, the three dukes, and many others flickered.
Taking the opportunity, the faceless man sent all seven spears to Nethery. At the same time, Sloth Great Soul Overlord’s hand came crashing down from the sky. The two perfected Chaotic Saints had joined hands to attack.
Although she was facing two almighty experts, Nethery was calm. She lifted her hand. Quietly, a flower bloomed in her palm.
“How dare you cause trouble in Void City! Are you courting death? A Flower in Nothingness!”
The flower bloomed, rotating, then rose into the sky and grew extremely huge in an instant, enveloping the whole Void City. The Queen of Curses’ palace was at its center. When it was fully bloomed, a click rang out from the depths of the palace. Then, the towering Stairway of Star split in the middle!
