Chapter 313: Divine Punishment for the Great Sinner
Chapter 313: Divine Punishment for the Great Sinner
While the true mastermind was captured, the battle in the sky was still ongoing and peaking.
The Blood Moon’s divine beast, which was named after the final destruction of the world, was overwhelmed by the void overlord. It had to face the demonic dragon blood devil, which was not inferior to the main enemy.
*Bam!*
Cherub unleashed the decisive blow, hitting the enemy’s head hard with an anti-gravity blast. The tremendous impact sent the massive, dark, scarlet dragon falling to the ground, flattening a mountain.
*Boom!*
Cherub flew down like a falling mountain, impaling the fallen divine beast buried into the ground, locking it in an elemental sealing technique.
"Roar!" Cherub roared at his victory. Sylvia helped him to minimize the environmental damage, but it was still his battle. He defeated his opponent with elegance.
"Hm, we didn’t kill it, right?" Sylvia flapped her feathered demonic wings and flew down slowly, observing the injured scarlet dragon.
They received the order to resolve the matter, not eradicate anything here. It would become a huge drawback for Blood Moon Pavilion’s repentance if they accidentally killed Blood Moon’s divine beast.
"Phew, fortunately, this Ragna something is still alive. The bastard has been captured. Let’s return, Cherub." Sylvia flew back to the spaceship.
"Grrr..." Cherub checked the dragon beneath his feet, then flew away after placing a dark seal. He transformed into a small dragon and returned to the spaceship.

The defeat of the Blood Moon Sovereign and Ragnarok greatly impacted the Blood Moon’s people. They knew there was no chance of winning and witnessed firsthand how strong Sacred Sakura was.
Sacred Sakura had only appeared in the world recently. Yet, other holy lands and renowned sects ranked Sacred Sakura as the strongest holy sect.
One thing that gave them a bit of solace was that Sacred Sakura did not come to destroy them but to punish their sovereign for his actions.
Even though many people were still clueless about the truth and crux of the matter, they no longer showed any resistance. After all, it would be suicide if they barged in. Sacred Sakura’s floating warship was guarded by many powerhouses, including several Demi-Gods and Deities.
The Blood Moon’s experts hovered around ES Armageddon’s foredeck, awaiting what the Sacred Sakura Goddess would do to the Blood Moon Sovereign.
"Do you realize what grave sins you have committed?" Luna came before the defendant like a judge towards the suspect. She opened a notebook and checked a list of the Blood Moon Sovereign’s major sins.
"The history written by the victor, do what you like, but it’s not for you to decide. Bring your Goddess here, as you don’t deserve to sentence me." Feng Yang smirked in reply.
He glanced around and found his daughters, the source of trouble that drove him to this situation.
"How bold for a bully. Unfortunately, you offended the wrong opponent. You became dishonest. Shall we give him some divine zap?" Evelyn accumulated a divine thunderbolt in her hand.
"No, wait. Calm down. We need to wait for our Goddess Master to arrive. Now is their time." Ella immediately grabbed Evelyn’s arm.
"I’m sure there are things you want to say, Feng Xue, Feng Mingyue." Lynn approached the Feng sisters, inviting them to enter the stage.
"This way, please." Dory ushered both Blood Moon’s princesses to follow her.
Lynn and Dory escorted Feng Xue and Feng Mingyue before the restrained Blood Moon Sovereign.
"..." Feng Xue pulled Mingyue’s arm to stand beside her. She wanted to say many things, her grievances and deep disappointment in her heart, but she couldn’t utter them with her mouth.
Feng Xue took a deep breath and asked the doubts in her heart. "Have you ever considered your daughters before you will ruin them? All that for what? Boost you to the higher level of the insatiable desire?"
"I raised all of you for one reason. You were so ungrateful to betray me after everything. Is that how you serve your parents?" Feng Yang stared intently at his daughter’s scarlet eyes.
"You are so disgusting, but I finally understand why you gave me the title of the Blood Empress... Tell me, what fate awaits the other descendants besides the most talented ones? Why did no one survive more than two years after you touched them? None of your ’partners’ can live long... but why did you kill my mother?" Feng Xue looked down to suppress her tears. She could guess the answer but wanted to know the reason from her father’s mouth.
She subconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen while waiting for her father’s answer.
"It’s their incompetence and failure." Feng Yang sighed as if he regretted what had happened, but he blamed the others.
"You..." Feng Xue trembled and gritted her teeth. She wanted to kill the bastard who ruined her innocence on the spot, but she knew that it was impossible to kill an Immortal with her current strength.
"The sinner will never admit the sins they have committed, let alone feel regret for their actions. Divine punishment is the only answer." Elysia floated out of the bridge, passing through the glass wall like a spiritual entity. Her Goddess sisters and Miko accompanied her from both sides as escorts.
The arrival of the Sacred Sakura Goddess became a moment of sublime enchantment. This celestial presence captivated all who bore witness to her presence. Her manifestation was a convergence of ethereal beauty, grace, and an aura of divine radiance, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to behold her.
Her arrival was accompanied by a gentle breeze, escorted by several divine escorts. They carried the fragrance of celestial blooms and the subtle hum of otherworldly energies.
A radiant aura enveloped the Sacred Sakura Goddess, casting a soft glow that bathed the surroundings in a luminous embrace. Her presence illuminated the space, infusing it with an otherworldly luminescence.
The Goddesses were adorned in garments woven from the fabric of the white cosmos. Their robes shimmered with celestial patterns, each thread imbued with the hues of galaxies and the brilliance of distant stars.
Everyone received the strong urge to kneel before such a divinity. The Blood Moon’s experts tried their best not to submit, but the Sacred Sakura’s people were already kneeling to welcome the presence of the Supreme One.
Feng Xue immediately knelt down, and so did Mingyue.
Elysia planted her feet a few centimeters from the floor. She walked through the air and approached Feng Xue. "Miss Xue, what kind of punishment do you want me to impose on him?"
"Answering to the Sacred Sakura Goddess. Please grant him the punishment he deserves, but death is too cheap for him." Feng Xue lowered her head, not daring to look at the Goddess before her.
"Sacred Sakura Goddess, please. You may punish him, but please spare his life! He still has room for repentance!" Mingyue kowtowed, begging with her head pressed to the floor.
Elysia glanced at Feng Xue and Feng Mingyue once, then at the restrained sovereign. "Blood Moon Sovereign, or the Ancient Blood Moon Immortal, Feng Yang. You are blessed by good descendants, but your dao is twisted beyond measure. Should I read your indictment, or will you accept your sentence without resistance?"
"The loser has nothing to say in this matter. Do whatever you wish for. I shall remember today’s defeat and humiliation. Kill me if you don’t want me to take revenge in the future." Feng Yang grinned as if he had nothing to lose.
In his heart, he had already planned a scenario if he would be spared. However, another part of him was still fascinated by the Divine Goddess before him, which upset him over the internal clash.
"You are still arrogant even though you are not in your past glory. Is that to preserve your reputation and face?"
"You are just a sheltered woman endowed with divine power. You know nothing about the Heavenly Catalysm and death. If I were in my past glory, would you still dare to act all high like this to me?"
"I am."
"You are just a newly ascended Young Goddess with nothing to be proud of. You haven’t witnessed the realm above Heaven."
"We are."
"..."
Feng Yang felt there was something wrong with the short answer. He realized something surprising when he looked at the other party’s aloof and serene expressions.
He was too fixated on the brightest divine lady, and he realized that he was dealing not just with one Goddess but a group of Goddesses!
His decision to cause chaos in Sacred Sakura with a borrowed knife was the biggest mistake of his life. He thought he could safely bring back his daughters by force, but his opponents were the ones he shouldn’t offend.
He could also see they were not weaker than Earth Immortal. Their divine aura was so faint and disguised, but he knew it wasn’t far from his estimation. However, they seemed to serve and respect the Sacred Sakura Goddess.
He couldn’t understand why they served the Sacred Sakura Goddess, a newly ascended Goddess!
"We’re still the speck of dust amidst the sea of stars. Even though you are an Agent of Heaven, you should not be too bright and arrogant, lest it will bring more harm than good to oneself. Release your divine soul protection if you admit your mistake. Don’t do anything if you want to resist. The final outcome will remain the same, but the pain won’t."
"What the-" Feng Yang widened his eyes as the Sacred Sakura Goddess instantly suppressed him straight to the lowest mortal rank.
"I will give you face for not reading out your sins. You have five seconds to decide on your path of repentance." Elysia stretched out her hand, pointing at Feng Yang’s head.
"Five, four, three, two, one... this is your decision. Accept your divine punishment." Elysia counted down, but the other party remained silent. Thus, she swung her hand down, inflicting the divine punishment on the great sinner.
Since death was too cheap for him, she would grant him something worse than death, but it would bring more good to the world.
