Chapter 714: Xun Yu's Guidance: Dian Wei's Pure Heart Breaks the Original Sin Array

"E Lai, empty your mind. Although the power of the Seven Deadly Sins is formidable, as long as your mind can resist these seven great evils, you can greatly diminish the opponent's power. You possess a Pure Heart, which is the very nemesis of the Seven Deadly Sins. Listen to my words." The voice of Xun Yu echoed in the ears of Dian Wei.

"The sin of Pride: humanity is lost, divinity is too great, viewing all living things as ants, viewing all life as blades of grass, numb and unfeeling. Therefore, one must reflect upon oneself three times a day and treat it with humility!"

"The sin of Anger: anger injures oneself, anger injures others. Therefore, one must suppress anger and learn to be calm and peaceful. When all agitation and unease have vanished like smoke, look at the blue sky with a calm heart, listen to the pleasant birdsong, tease the beetles in the grass, find joy in waiting, and treat it with patience!"

"The sin of Sloth: laziness, cowardice, and a lack of sense of responsibility. However, one must know that humans are born lazy, which is not a fault. One should control sloth rather than let sloth control oneself. Since ancient times, because humans were lazy and did not want to walk, they invented carts; because they were lazy and did not want to cultivate bitterly, they learned to refine pills... Examples abound. Strive for the sake of laziness, and treat it with diligence!"

"The sin of Desire: valuing desire over emotion, valuing desire over righteousness. One must restrain desire and treat it with simplicity!"

"The sin of Greed: the excessive pursuit of money or power, a sin that turns its back on the gods. Just like all corrupting sins, it is when a person abandons eternal things for things that will rot, showing short-sightedness. We must remember: when poor, cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, benefit the world. Treat it with generosity!"

"The sin of Jealousy: because of jealousy, one becomes cold, belittling, exclusionary, and hostile toward others, and hatred spreads from this. Zhuangzi said, 'Always be tolerant of things, do not diminish others, and one can be called the ultimate.' Beautiful virtue lies in a good state of mind; this is a lofty realm. Those who can tolerate others have a heart as broad and transparent as the sky, as vast and deep as the ocean, like the ocean that swallows and spits out the sun and moon, like the sky that accepts sunlight and rainstorms, like the mountain rocks that accommodate green grass. Treat it with tolerance!"

"The sin of Gluttony: indulging in matters, excessively craving pleasure, and failing to seek progress. The so-called 'too much is as bad as too little'—a gentleman should restrain desires, a gentleman should restrain his appetite, a gentleman should restrain his voice. With appropriate words and actions, a heart as still as water, and balanced judgment, one achieves the virtue of a gentleman. Treat it with restraint!"

Xun Yu's Godly Power was exerted to the maximum, and his words echoed incessantly in Dian Wei's ears.

The God of Desire felt that the power of the Seven Deadly Sins was being repelled by Dian Wei. She subconsciously used her own Heart of Desire to probe Dian Wei's mind, only to find it completely blank. "How is this possible? This person, he actually has no desires? No... that's not right, that is..."

The God of Desire seemed to see a pair of Halberds deep within Dian Wei's mind.

It was not that this man had no desires, but that his desires were not for money, not for power, and not for beauties; they were actually his Halberds. This meant that all he had in his heart was the purest pursuit of the martial Dao.

This simple pursuit was the greatest nemesis of her Law of Desire.

It was not just the God of Desire; the other six gods of the Seven Deadly Sins also saw different aspects of Dian Wei's mind through their respective laws of original sin.

What the God of Pride saw was a scene of Dian Wei practicing martial arts with Nan Feihuang. The two had their wins and losses, but both were humble in victory and undiscouraged in defeat—a heart of humility that specifically countered pride.

What the God of Anger saw was Dian Wei practicing his techniques day after day for decades. He would not become impatient because the cultivation was slow, nor would he become angry when encountering bottlenecks. He patiently accumulated his power, step by step, making progress bit by bit. He truly possessed immense patience.

The God of Sloth was speechless. Had this man ever rested in his life? Why was it that all he saw was this guy practicing, except for his daily meals and sleep? The word 'diligence' was not an overstatement.

The God of Greed felt as if he had seen a ghost. Dian Wei was the greediest yet least greedy person he had ever seen. He was greedy for his unprecedentedly high pursuit of the martial Dao, greedy for progress in martial arts, but beyond that, he sought nothing. Everything followed its natural course; even his marriage to Nan Feiling was natural. He never deliberately asked for anything. When his lord bestowed the marriage upon him, he just replied with an "Oh." How could such a person exist in the world? The God of Jealousy could not even detect a sense of jealousy. Since Dian Wei pursued the martial Dao, the only thing that could possibly make him jealous would be someone who had mastered a higher martial Dao. The problem was, did such a person exist in this world? Even the Five Great God Kings could not catch up to this monster in terms of martial arts comprehension. Finally, the God of Gluttony did discover that Dian Wei was indeed guilty of gluttony; his appetite was enormous. The problem was that for gluttony to become a sin, it required more than just eating a lot; one had to be addicted to matters, excessively craving pleasure, and failing to seek progress. This Dian Wei practiced martial arts every day, which had nothing to do with those terms. Moreover, his daily consumption was perfectly balanced with what he ate. From this point of view, he was actually very restrained.

Dian Wei's Godly Power began to infiltrate the Original Sin Array. His humility, loyalty, simplicity, patience, generosity, tolerance, open-mindedness, and restraint—powers that completely contradicted the laws of original sin—struck the array until it was on the verge of collapse.

Such a situation had never occurred before because a person with a mind as pure as Dian Wei's had never appeared.

"Ah—" Dian Wei suddenly raised his head and let out a roar. All the power of original sin surrounding him was shaken away.

Then, Dian Wei's eyes widened in anger. With a flash, he moved with lightning speed, grabbing the God of Pride, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, first.

Dian Wei gripped the god's head with his palm and slammed it into the void. The God of Pride's originally handsome and resolute face instantly saw his features distorted, with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

One could see how great the power of this strike from Dian Wei was.

The God of Anger and the God of Jealousy attempted a pincer attack from the left and right, but Dian Wei used speed to counter speed, grabbing both by the face. As his palms exerted force, the sound of their skulls cracking could already be heard.

The God of Sloth and the God of Gluttony launched a sneak attack from below, but Dian Wei, using only one leg, kicked like the wind, leaving them covered in footprints and unable to advance an inch, their internal organs shattered and their Godly Power dissipated.

"This is bad, the Original Sin Array has no effect on him at all," the God of Desire cried out.

Without the Original Sin Array, a Level One God could never defeat a God King, especially a God King as unusual as Dian Wei.

His strength could not be judged by the depth of his Godly Power.

Even if his Godly Power was only at the entry-level of a God King, his actual combat effectiveness likely far surpassed any of the Five Great God Kings.

Holding his twin Halberds, Dian Wei unleashed a sweeping strike that created a scene of total destruction in all directions. The barrier formed by the Seven Deadly Sins Array was constantly being pushed from the inside, and from the outside, it was already covered in cracks.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Seven Deadly Sins Array was gradually collapsing.
