Not a word sword descended like a divine blade from the heavens, making the faces of all the cultivators ashen. Even if they combined all their strength, they could not withstand this strike. Could it be that Eric Bennett truly intended to defy fate and change destiny?

At this moment, Brian Clark’s face broke into the brightest smile, clearly admiring this sword. It was genuine admiration and regret. “If the heavens had feelings, they too would grow old; the myriad great Daos are full of vicissitudes—time is merciless.”

The Demon God Sword of Time seemed to slash forth from another world, silent and invisible, no longer bound by the laws of this realm. That world-creating power was so fragile before its arrogance—how could ants defy a god?

Eric Bennett’s chest had already been pierced. This was the might of the demon god: to draw and sheathe the sword was but a thought, a technique of great supernatural power.

“So that’s it! So—that’s—it! As long as I seize your godhood, I will become a god on the spot, hahahahaha.” The demon god’s wild laughter echoed in the sky.

Rumble rumble rumble... Duantianya was shattering. The peerless divine might of the Heaven-Defying Not a Word Sword could cut the heavens, but could not slay the enemy for its master.

The chaotic, exploding vital energy could not harm the demon god in the slightest, even seemed to avoid him. Most crucially, Brian Clark had already understood from this sword what it meant to defy the heavens.

“I told you, I should thank you.” At this moment, Brian Clark showed unexpected humanity. If he secluded himself for another hundred years, he was fully confident he could break through the path to divinity.

Eric Bennett’s expression remained indifferent, as if life itself did not exist. “I told you, who should thank whom is still uncertain.”

“In this world... who can stop me!”

Heaven and earth, only Brian Clark reigns supreme.

Suddenly, an irresistible force of law swept across the sky, covering everything. At this level, if anything could restrain the demon god Brian Clark, it was only the power of law. After all, no matter how close to godhood an immortal became, he was still human.

Brian Clark’s expression changed. “You... deliberately triggered the heavenly tribulation!”

Eric Bennett did not look at Brian Clark. “I have no way back. You want to borrow my experience, and I want to borrow your power. Our clash, combined with your enlightenment, is enough to trigger the eighty-one strikes of the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Grand Tribulation—more than enough to deal with you!”

The enlightened Brian Clark was already a demigod. At this moment, what he most needed to do was hide his power and avoid the tribulation to comprehend his strength. But the outpouring of Duantianya’s power had left him nowhere to hide. Eric Bennett’s sword was never aimed at him, but at splitting open Duantianya!

“You did all this just to perish together with me?!” Brian Clark found it somewhat laughable.

Eric Bennett’s body was fading away. Even a demigod’s body could not withstand the passage of time. Yet Eric Bennett’s expression finally relaxed completely. “During the heavenly tribulation is also when the power of law is at its weakest.”

“Don’t tell me you want... to let your fate seize the chance to break into the lower realm? Even if you really succeed, a masterless fate is just a wedding dress for someone else!”

Brian Clark was enraged. If he obtained Eric Bennett’s fate, he would become a god instantly. But if not, who knew how long it would take? And Eric Bennett, after all his scheming and even at the cost of his life, only wanted to give his most precious fate away!

Give it away!!!

“You don’t understand, and you never will.” A trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Eric Bennett’s mouth. Though all great Daos lead to the same destination, they were never on the same path.

To harm others for one’s own benefit—that is demonic.

To harm others without benefiting oneself—that is evil!

To harm oneself for the benefit of others—that is the ultimate evil!

Evil cultivators are meant to defy!

Born into the most powerful demonic sect in the great world, Brian Clark became a demigod in just two hundred years. He could never understand how Eric Bennett, starting from a minor world, spent a hundred years to reach the middle world, then another hundred to reach the great world, and then several more centuries to become a demigod. In the lower realms, this was already godlike speed, an unimaginable miracle—yet in the end, it all came to nothing.

The eighty-one strikes of the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Grand Tribulation had arrived. Divine might covered thousands of miles, all the pressure and power converging on Brian Clark. At this moment, Brian Clark had no time for anything else. With the power of a demigod, he resisted the tribulation with all his might. As long as he survived, he could still become a god.

When the law fully unleashed the annihilation tribulation, it was also when the power of law was at its weakest. After all, a demigod could not be underestimated. Only at this moment would the untouchable rules of the great world reveal a tiny crack. Only now could a fate, which could only exist in the great world, possibly cross the laws’ constraints and enter the lower realm.

This was the greatest defiance.

A red light shot out from Eric Bennett’s body, soaring into the clouds and vanishing in an instant.

Without the support of fate, Eric Bennett’s body disintegrated even faster.

What is the Dao of Heaven?

Eric Bennett’s gaze began to blur. This was the first question he had ever asked his master. Back then, he was just a child. Step by step, he had come to this day. He had experienced so much; time weighed too heavily on him. But he had no regrets.

Become a god? Immortality? Invincible under heaven?

No, that was not the true meaning of evil cultivation. The method to become a god was only to be spat upon. That is evil, that is defiance!

“Master, your disciple has done it.” Eric Bennett looked up at the sky. On the face of the Heaven-Defying Evil God, a faint smile finally appeared, until he faded into nothingness.

The lineage of evil cultivators had achieved an unsurpassable glory. His name was the Heaven-Defying Evil God Eric Bennett.

At the same time, the annihilation tribulation was in full force. Heaven and earth lost their color. A beam of destruction enveloped Brian Clark. Even at this moment, Brian Clark still could not understand what Eric Bennett was thinking. He had seen countless madmen, but none could compare to Eric Bennett.
