[Flesh Burning]
Tie Gang did not hesitate to burn the flesh of the puppet to increase his battle strength temporarily. His aura drastically increased as a green flame manifested on the puppet.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward his opponent.
Gluttony's cold and indifferent eyes did not fluctuate. He gathered the power of Chaos he created by combining countless different powers and energy and fired them.
Tie Gang tried to evade at first, but the speed at which Gluttony fired his Chaos Breath was too fast. So, after dodging the fourth attack, he was hit head-on.
Tie Gang was swift as he created a two-prong defense. In the first layer, he controlled a massive amount of Yin Qi from the puppet to summon a world of souls.
Secondly, he condensed an unimaginable amount of vibration to create a shield capable of surviving the explosions of countless Middle Thousand Worlds.
Sadly, his efforts resulted in minimal achievements.
Bang!
Everything is born from Chaos and must one day return to Chaos. As soon as Gluttony's breath reached the World of Souls, it melted all the ghosts like ice in the summer heat.
Then, it was the turn of the Condense Vibration Shield. The Chaos Breath encountered some resistance, but it was also minimal. Regardless, these two measures bought Tie Gang enough time to evade and survive this attack.
Boom!
Gluttony predicted his survival; he even predicted where Tie Gang would appear after evading his attack. So, as soon as the latter appeared, another breath attack awaited him.
'Damn it,' cursed Tie Gang as he raised his two arms to block the attack. His battle instinct kicked in as he thought of a way to deal with the situation. And in the moment of life and death, he did not falter or let fear overwhelm him.
No, Tie Gang was the kind of talent that thrived in dangerous situations; he could push himself beyond his limit when he faced death. That's one of the reasons Wang Wei chose him as one of his generals and never abandoned him after so many years.
So, Tie Gang took action. He remembered something Wang Wei once told him as an idea to help his Vibration Dao and help him create new techniques.
"Imagine everything in the world is made of strings–matter, energy, soul, the spirit, consciousness, and even the laws of Heaven and Earth. And the world functions properly based on how these strings vibrate."
Tie Gang has always felt these words contained profound meaning and held the highest truth between Heaven and Earth. Although Wang Wei only said they were ideas and how to utilize his Dao and should not take it as absolute truth, his intuition told him these words were not simple.
When Tie Gang's hands touched the Chaos Breath, he instantly felt different vibrations; there were thousands, if not more, of them. He knew these vibrations corresponded to the various powers or abilities Gluttony fused to create the Chaos Breath.
[Break Down]
Something amazing occurred. The purple breath suddenly changed color; to be precise, it dispersed into thousands of colors, each with a different aura.
Gluttony's eyes widened, showing his emotions for the first time since the start of the battle; he did not even react when an outside force destroyed the laws of the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Tie Gang watched the destroyed arms of the puppet. Although he succeeded in stopping the attack, the short contact did a number on this puppet.
However, he couldn't care less about his current state.
'I have found my path,' he thought, unable to contain his excitement. One of the most outstanding achievements of a Dao is to affect or control all Daos. The Supreme Outlaw Daos are famous because of their power and innate ability to do this feat–as long as the user is competent enough.
However, it is not the same for other Dao. For example, how would someone who cultivates Fire Dao have any relation with Fate Dao? They must be talented enough to push their talent to that level and control Fate Fire, Creation Flame, and so on.
During this battle, Tie Gang watched many people who had already peeped into that realm—for example, Huo Fenghuang, who used the Yin-Yang Changes in the Four Seasons to control Time Dao.
Tie Gang realized his inadequacy when compared to these top Heaven Chosens. And for a while, he thought it was because his Vibration Dao was such a weak Dao.
Of course, he also understood that there is no weak Dao, only weak cultivators. However, this fact did not change his thoughts, as he was overwhelmed by a sense of inferiority.
But today, he found the way forward for his Vibration Dao to affect all Daos.
"So, that's what his words were inferring to," muttered Tie Gang. "No, I still feel these words have a deeper meaning."
Tie Gang then concentrates on his opponent.
'I won't last long, so I need to end this battle as soon as possible.'
He hadn't made his move yet when the world suddenly turned blood red. Then, he saw countless visions where he committed innumerable acts of mindless slaughter.
'This,' thought Tie Gang as he woke up from the influence. His Willpower was high, and he trained to resist the spear's effect. However, something else soon caught his attention.
Rooaaar!
Gluttony releases a primal scream. Immediately, his eyes turned red, and his aura became unstable. He looked at Tie Gang like he was not human like he was nothing but prey.
'Has he lost consciousness? This could be in my favor.'
Alas, a strange fluctuation originated from Gluttony's Sea of Consciousness, and his eyes regained clarity.
'Damn it, I should have expected this,' cursed Tie Gang as he rushed toward his opponent; he knew Gluttony would still be in a sluggish state for a few seconds after awakening. So, it was the best opportunity to end this battle.
'Let's execute the final plan.'
Tie Gang rushed in to launch a barrage of firsts, condensing the power of Vibration to the pinnacle. Meanwhile, his mouth also generated a beautiful melody.
And as soon as Gluttony heard this song, the clarity in his eyes began to fade. His Primordial Spirit became chaotic as his most internal primal instincts were being awakened.
If not for Di Tian's Soul Enslavement, Gluttony might already turn into a devil who only knows mindless killing.
Tie Gang's attacks did devastating damage to the young devil. Alas, his stomach stored too much energy, so his healing abilities were even higher than the best Body Refiners in this generation.
'Now,' thought Tie Gang, as a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
Boom!
He did not hesitate to explode the body of the Zombie Puppet Armor and his physical body. And since he was in the middle of the explosion center and only a Primordial Spirit, he would have been affected.
With his weak soul and cultivation, such an explosion was enough to kill him thousands of times.
However, his plan worked. Gluttony acted instinctively and immediately swallowed the explosion.
'The opportunity is here.'
Tie Gang waved his hand to summon an artifact–a Sealing Emperor Artifact. The artifact contained Wang Wei's power, and he controlled it to target Gluttony's Slave Marks.
"Haaaaa," screamed the devil as a fierce reaction occurred in his soul. Di Tian had reinforced the mark to not fall for the same trick twice. So, as soon as Tie Gang acted, his power manifested and blocked the effect of the artifact and Wang Wei's power.
"Checkmate," said Tie Gang as marking suddenly appeared on Gluttony's body. They enveloped every corner of his body before rapidly turning him into a marble.
"Your parents should have warned you that you cannot put anything in your mouth," muttered Tie Gang, sighing deeply that everything was over. He held the marble in his hand, shaking his head.
The battle ended before it began since Wang Wei knew Gluttony was enslaved.
'Dealing with Dao Overlord is truly scary; they are always five to ten steps ahead of everybody.'
Di Tian took preventive measures against his Soul Mark but failed to see the other weaknesses that Wang Wei saw and prepared. According to the battle tactic Tie Gang was instructed before the battle, he had many options to deal with Gluttony.
He used his flesh as bait to seal the devil from his stomach, but he had other options. He could do it from his devil bloodline.
Wang Wei had a Devil God Body, so he knew a lot about the Devil Race's bloodline after the scientists of his Science and Technology World studied intensely for him to achieve Ten Supremacy.
Secondly, Wrath wanted him to save Gluttony, so she gave him some help.
Finally, Tie Gang had another option if these two did not work–the Quantum Arrays. He could release these things and use the same tactics as Wang Wei to pass the Supreme Outlaw Trial.
'It is improbable for me to become a Dao Overlord after my reincarnation, and the risks are too high. However, I need to prepare to deal with them.'
After living with a Dao Overlord for many years, Tie Gang knew their weakness–lack of information. If you do not give them enough information and time, you can quickly deal with a Dao Overlord.
Of course, that is if you have the strength.
Tie Gang exhaled out loud as he summoned a few pills to heal; he did not regrow his fleshly body since he wanted to take this opportunity to increase his strength and go further.
'There is only the last step remaining,' thought Tie Gang as he looked in the distance. He had his role to play, so he needed to prepare.
