Damned Healer-Chapter 754: Practically Cheating

The sky exploded, and a torrent of lightning fell. It was like a dam had burst, and they poured from every corner of the sky, converging toward the entire region around Darian.

The whole planet, and the heart of that sect, trembled violently. Lightning spread in every direction.

**BOOOOM!**

The buildings around and everything that existed there couldn't withstand it and exploded instantly. That entire place, once surrounded by beautiful scenery and calm, turned into a scene of destruction.

The cultivators outside clenched their fists. They couldn't help but feel bad seeing such a beautiful place being destroyed.

"You vile monster...!"

The High Priest lost all the calm he had before. Aside from a few buildings that were still standing, everything else had been reduced to rubble. Fortunately, what was hidden was millions of times more resilient, but this storm was only the beginning... and that was a legendary Celestial Annihilation!

Inside the buildings near the center, there were still several figures from that sect. They were shouting in shock and terror while being surrounded by lightning. They trusted the sect would solve everything quickly and weren't afraid to stay, but they could only rely on the buildings' defenses to survive, and those defenses looked extremely fragile at that moment.

"High Priest, save us!" Those people cried out. There were thousands.

"Quick, move away from that city!" the cultivators outside shouted toward Darian. "Or are you trying to kill so many innocent people?!"

"Hahaha!" Darian laughed mockingly.

The force of the lightning was so terrifying that those five were unable to approach him. But Darian himself, despite being bathed in lightning, didn't suffer the slightest damage.

His body shone with a subtle multicolored aura; it wasn't his complete primordial physique. Since lightning was much closer to Yang, just like fire, everything was neutralized thanks to his new Heavenly Elemental Body. His elemental resistance to Yang-type things had grown to unimaginable heights.

Darian turned toward those voices. "Innocent people? No one in this sect is innocent. Everyone here deserves to die in the worst possible way. Have you never wondered why the cultivators of the Evil Path were never destroyed? Even with everyone in the universe hunting them nonstop?"

Darian's voice echoed in the middle of the torrent of lightning, filled with celestial power. Everyone, inside and outside the planet, could hear it.

Outside the planet, even though everything was covered by black clouds, high-level cultivators could sense the fluctuations of people and know everything that was happening.

All gazes changed. What he was saying...

"Yes, the cultivators of the Evil Path actually have a very safe home to live in, never being disturbed. In fact, it's not even remotely that secret. Apparently, many sects of the universe know about it and collaborate with it. This Healers of Heaven Sect is actually just a facade. This place is the heart where the main cultivators of the Evil Path live."

"ABSURD!! HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!"

The High Priest roared, taken by a frenzy. Everyone in that sect also had distorted faces and tightened their grips on their weapons. Without a doubt, no one in that sect was innocent or naive. It wasn't for nothing that, to enter the sect, their recruitment selection was known for being the most rigorous among the mid-tier sects.

Hearing this, even the cultivators outside had gazes full of killing intent. What kind of baseless nonsense was that? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible.

That sect had existed for countless eras, always helping everyone who needed it. Organizations across the universe respected them and visited all the time. How had no one ever noticed this and spread the word?

Even if some people knew about it and were on their side, the hatred many people had for Evil Path cultivators was so great that eventually someone would discover the slightest clue and spread it.

Darian smiled, already expecting that.

Going back a little in time. When Darian received the command emblem of the inscription that created the Golden Celestial Lake and stayed there for seven days, he obviously used the planetary inscription to attract more power from the Sun. Then, that helped him notice something peculiar.

Near the planet of the Golden Crow Sect, in a neighboring galaxy, there was a colossal concentration of black Karma. Not even when he faced the Risen Lords had he noticed something so massive.

Obviously, that was where the cultivators of the Evil Path lived. They had very bad luck that Darian was so close and sensed them so early.

So, after all the events at the Assembly ended, Darian asked for information about the nearby galaxies. That's when he discovered that the Healers of Heaven Sect lived there.

That was indeed an excellent disguise. They pretended to help people, with beautiful slogans, and even lost money by charging little for healing. All the low and mid-level cultivators loved and protected them, while at the same time, they created connections with selected people from powerful places.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Healing pills weren't as efficient as their healing power, so they were the only ones who could do it. That being the case, why the hell would they choose to heal everyone and charge little? They were a sect, and because of that, they were accepting to remain mediocre forever... all because they're kind?

Good people might exist in the world. But whenever many gather together, bad ones appear too. So it was impossible for that sect to maintain something like that legitimately for long. For the vast majority, it was simply foolishness.

Cultivators sometimes seemed to have shit in their heads, acting in crazy and irrational ways. Sometimes they swallowed something strange and illogical like this, just because the powerful said everything was fine.

The main reason was that laws and rules were written by the powerful. If a terrifying figure said something, the weak couldn't go against it. So, after a very long time, something like this simply became ignored, treated as normal.

*BOOOM! BOOOM!! BOOOM!!!*

The heavens roared mercilessly, punishing everything around Darian. He was receiving 80% of it all, but the other 20% was enough to shake the world.

The people of the sect were in disbelief. The High Priest was at the peak of cultivation, yet he couldn't get close to Darian. Meanwhile, Darian was enduring it as if nothing was happening.

In mere minutes, the buildings finally reached their limit. Their defenses collapsed, and the disciples inside screamed in despair as they were reduced to pieces.

"BASTARD, I'll make sure you have a miserable death today!" the High Priest roared.

Even the people outside who were watching were releasing killing intent. It all seemed extremely cruel; none of them would let Darian leave this place alive.

Outside the planet, Gildor was pale; that was because the gazes of that Fey and the others had become extremely dark. He had never imagined that Darian would attract a Celestial Annihilation and do something so extreme as killing so many people from that sect.

But… before he activated the inscription, Darian had sent him the images through the artifact. For a brief moment, he managed to see the entrance to a small world, releasing a characteristic and unmistakable black aura.

He had those images recorded. But who would believe artifacts? That could be forged. So the only way to prove all of that was by exposing it for everyone to see.

So he chose to bet on Darian… but now he was already wondering what the hell had been in his head when he agreed to this.

Gildor clenched his fists. The power hiding that place was certainly at a level that not even that terrifying Fey would have the strength to open. If Darian died… or if everything ended without him managing to reveal that to the world… he couldn't even imagine the consequences.

Inside the planet, more and more explosions echoed. Until…

…the lightning in the sky suddenly began to weaken.

"Attack!"

This was the best moment to kill him. The High Priest led the attack, together with the four most powerful members of the sect.

This was the transition period in the rhythm of the fury coming from the heavens. It was like a brief pause. Before recovering their strength, people usually took a deep breath. With the heavens, it was the same.

As soon as the first wave ended, the second wave would descend, but first, there would be a brief moment of energy accumulation.

The moment they activated their power and rushed forward with everything they had, all five of them felt that the heavens had marked them… but somehow the focus didn't immediately shift to them… not yet.

Everything was on Darian, and it would likely remain that way. The reason for that was that Darian had become the absolute priority of the laws of the universe. It was as if he were a terrible monster that the laws had to make sure died.

That was the reason for the initial marking on Darian. The laws only marked someone when they were an aberration. That only happened very rarely… and every single one of them never lived to see the next day.

Even so, after him, it would be the turn of those who dared to interfere; that's why no one outside wanted to help the sect.

"Disappear." Darian turned toward the five who attacked. Then his dagger slashed, and the world lost its color.

*Blinding Break*

A black blade, almost as strong as the first one he used, split time and space in two and advanced.

"AHH!"

A sharp scream echoed, and one of those five, the one closest to Darian, was struck and instantly turned into a bloody mist.

The other four were thrown away by the wave of power.

From afar, all the cultivators were stunned.

That young man… who was only breaking through into the Celestial King Realm… actually… killed someone in the Celestial Master Realm!!

Darian snorted. After many disciples of that sect died, he managed to devour a lot of karma and gain black power to launch a new attack.

At that second, roars shook the sky as giant lightning serpents appeared within the clouds. They looked like dragons swimming in a sea of lightning.

"Ancestral Spirits!"

Everyone was stunned seeing such existences appear. Those figures only appeared at the final moment of a Celestial Punishment, and everyone who faced them ended up using all their power to defeat them.

Now, right after the first wave, they had already appeared by the thousands. And worse… those figures looked absurdly powerful. It wasn't something a cultivator just entering the Celestial King Realm could face.

Darian had faced this before. They were copies of the will of people who died under the wrath of the heavens in the past. They weren't real figures, but they possessed a certain level of skill and combat power. (Chapter 540)

The High Priest and the other three, who were already scared, were now terrified. At that moment, the sky over a vast area was filled with Ancestral Spirits, in the form of lightning dragons.

It wasn't just them… all the cultivators near the epicenter felt a mortal danger. Since there were many of them, they would also be affected. Without hesitation, they turned around and ran away using their own legs, without using any power.

A few seconds later.

**ROAR!**

A flood of figures roared at the same time, making space tremble. All of them fell together, converging toward the center.

As for Darian… he remained standing in place without moving, surrounded by a multicolored aura.

Meanwhile, the people of the sect could only fight and wait for the moment to kill Darian before the worst happened.

Dozens of Ancestral Spirits attacked Darian at the same time. He still didn't move. When they touched him directly… he waved.

*BOOOM!*

Their bodies exploded in sync, turning into a rain of electric runes. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After that, Darian waved gently, and all the runes shot toward the ground. Then an explosion of lightning made everything tremble. Obviously, he was focusing everything on a single point.

The people of the sect had already drawn their weapons. All of them held black blades that released an extremely bloody aura. No one in the sect retreated, and now everyone was forced to engage in this.

But… they soon discovered that, aside from the four most powerful ones who killed an enemy quickly, the others had to give everything they had just to avoid dying.

"This is practically cheating!" The people of the sect were dumbfounded when they turned and saw Darian blowing everything up without even moving. He was the one being targeted the most, and he should be the one suffering, not them!

The minutes dragged on slowly.

"FUCK!!" The High Priest roared, consumed by hatred. In those brief minutes, half of the sect's disciples had died brutally. Meanwhile, the main problem…

He could feel the energy hiding the sect's secret rapidly falling, unable to withstand the wave of destruction constantly crashing onto the ground.

That went on for several minutes without stopping.

There were hundreds of thousands of enemies roaring and attacking without mercy. Slowly… more and more died, until the point where only the strongest 20% could remain standing.

After an hour, finally, all the enemies were gone.

Silence lingered. That was a precious moment where nothing happened.

The High Priest should have ordered the attack on Darian, but… even he was breathing heavily and had several wounds on his body. Even though he could kill them easily, the electric power was extremely terrifying, and since there were so many, he kept getting hit constantly.

Fortunately, the sect wasn't called Healers of Heaven Sect for nothing. They had a secret technique that could heal almost anything.

Everyone who survived used their healing power on themselves. They needed to recover during this short interval.

*BUZZ*

The sky trembled, and hundreds of five-colored lightning bolts appeared among the clouds, like spears ready to pierce the world.

"This is… life lightning..."

The High Priest stammered. After a terrible battle, they would now face something even more terrifying. Everyone, including him, felt limitless mortal danger.

At that moment, Darian looked up and smiled.

"Finally, the good stuff is starting to arrive."
