"Fine, let me think about how to destroy you."
Mu Changqing's words plunged Ye Yu back into an abyss of despair.
He now felt an extreme sense of hopelessness, realizing the person before him was utterly insane.
His killings weren't born out of necessity, but sheer will.
Mu Changqing's violet eyes scanned the terrified and enraged Ye family members, a faint smile gracing his lips.
With a flick of his sleeve, the surrounding Ye family members were all lifted into the air and brought before him.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Explosions echoed one after another.
In boundless terror, the Ye family members' bodies burst apart, dissolving into clouds of blood mist.
As their souls attempted to escape, they were incinerated by tendrils of purplish-black flame.
Ye Yu roared in fury, his eyes bloodshot, glaring venomously at Mu Changqing.
"Kill me or flay me as you wish, but why slaughter the innocent? How can you commit such a heaven-defying and man-resenting act without fear of heavenly judgment?"
Mu Changqing's violet eyes flickered, a hint of mockery flashing within them.
Upon arriving in the Yunyu Realm, he had perceived everything, understanding all that had transpired since the Emperor's Fall era.
After the end of the Emperor's Fall, myriad realms were born, plunging into unprecedented silence and depletion.
From then on, the end of every era was brought about by the judgment of Heaven's Will.
Heaven's Will would awaken once every hundred epochs, unleashing boundless judgment.
It would judge cultivators branded as sinners by Heaven's Will.
As for the criteria for judgment, Heaven's Will dictated its own rules, deeming someone guilty or not by its sole decree.
Some immensely powerful beings, to evade judgment, chose to enter reincarnation and dormancy, reborn in the next era.
Thus, another terrifying existence appeared in this world: the reincarnated great powers.
They might lack the destiny of the Child of Destiny, but relying on their past lives' accumulated power, they could rise rapidly, employing all sorts of dreadful methods.
They were even more formidable than some Children of Destiny.
Mu Changqing felt a sense of curiosity towards these so-called reincarnations.
For in the Emperor's Fall era, reincarnation was unheard of.
He attempted to probe everything from the river of time, but was obstructed by a mysterious force, leaving him helpless.
And in this current world, who else could possibly stop him besides the one above?
Hearing Ye Yu's words, Mu Changqing scoffed, his purple eyes flashing with a hint of remembrance.
"Heaven's Will's judgment... is indeed terrifying. But what can it do to me now?"
The advent of this great era signified Heaven's Will's rapid resurgence, its awakening imminent.
Mu Changqing also anticipated its return.
He then turned his gaze back to Ye Yu, chuckling lightly.
"I know you have trump cards, you feel secure and fearless. Even if you die, perhaps you can revive through some strange means.
Therefore, I won't let you die. I am curious whether the so-called Child of Destiny's Dao heart is truly indestructible."
The most terrifying aspect of a Child of Destiny wasn't just their heaven-defying luck, but their Dao heart.
Mu Changqing could easily kill them, but luck was a peculiar thing; even he found its underlying truth hard to fathom.
If Heaven's Will decreed that a person should not die, then even with supreme means, it would be difficult to kill them.
Unless one transcended Heaven's Will itself.
Ye Yu's heart trembled, feeling as if his very soul had been stripped bare, exposed nakedly to Mu Changqing.
He was truly afraid now, harboring an unprecedented wariness towards the mysterious youth before him.
Mu Changqing paid no heed to his terror, continuing to lift the Ye family members before him one by one, then annihilating them.
Ye Wuyou was even more enraged than Ye Yu. He was the patriarch of the Ye family; his thousand years of effort had been ruined in an instant, how could he not be furious?
His hair bristled with rage as he charged relentlessly at Mu Changqing.
But each time he drew near, his body would uncontrollably retreat, as if trapped in some temporal node.
"Devil, devil! You will die a terrible death! You will surely face Heaven's Will's endless judgment! You will die, and pay the price for the tens of thousands of lives of my Ye family!"
Ye Wuyou wailed and laughed, collapsing onto the ground, roaring powerlessly.
Liu Yan'er felt a pang of sympathy and pulled on Old Liu's arm, her eyes pleading.
Old Liu saw this and a wry smile touched his lips.
His apprehension towards Mu Changqing surpassed that of the others.
The higher one's cultivation, the more one understood Mu Changqing's terrifying nature.
Every move he made was a supreme truth transcending the Dao.
How could he possibly interfere? Being able to preserve his own life was already fortunate.
Especially Mu Changqing's conduct, which followed no discernible pattern, truly acting on whims.
With a sigh, Old Liu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed, speaking.
"Esteemed… Lord, could you grant奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao) some face and spare the Ye family? Our 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao) also has reincarnated great powers. Perhaps you might find common ground. I am willing to introduce you."
Mu Changqing paused his actions and turned to Nalan Yong.
"This is your responsibility. Don't disappoint me."
Nalan Yong understood, dropping the Ye family ancestor's skeleton. With a sinister grin, his demonic energy grew more violent.
His methods became even more brutal, tearing out the Ye family members one by one and torturing them to death.
He flayed them into skeletons and then used spiritual energy to sustain their lives, preventing them from dying.
He arranged them all before Ye Yu, forcing him to witness the tragic state of his Ye family.
Mu Changqing nodded with slight satisfaction. Indeed, someone as twisted as Nalan Yong was more suited for torture.
He then turned back, his smile unchanged, and addressed Old Liu and the other.
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly. Say it again."
Old Liu, seeing the purplish flames flickering in Mu Changqing's eyes, couldn't help but retreat several steps in terror.
Quickly steadying his mind, he bowed again and repeated himself.
Mu Changqing's gaze inadvertently swept over Liu Yan'er, who was shielding herself behind him.
She had just crushed a distress talisman.
He didn't seem to mind, however, and instead asked with a smile.
"Does 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao) also have a Child of Destiny like Ye Yu?"
Old Liu didn't understand Mu Changqing's intention but dared not offend him.
He could only reply truthfully.
"No, a Child of Destiny is destined by fate. Even in a single realm, it is difficult for one to appear."
"Are there reincarnated great powers? How terrifying are they?"
"They can fight Immortals."
Old Liu still regarded Mu Changqing as a reincarnated great power. These terrifying methods were all ancient and forbidden techniques.
Therefore, it was reasonable that they exceeded his understanding.
Now, by bringing up beings similar to himself, he intended to make Mu Changqing wary, preventing him from acting recklessly.
Seeing that Mu Changqing remained silent, Old Liu felt a surge of relief and hurriedly continued.
"If you are willing, I will personally guarantee you and make you an honored guest of 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao), enjoying respect throughout the land, with your cultivation resources secured. Returning to your peak will be within reach."
Mu Changqing remained silent, but Nalan Yong beside him did not cease his actions.
Now, hundreds of bloody skeletons were neatly arranged in the entire Ye family plaza.
Flesh and entrails littered the ground, and scarlet blood flowed like streams.
This horrifying scene resembled a living hell.
Ye Yu, utterly despairing, slumped onto the ground, his eyes vacant as he watched his clansmen die one by one.
The impact was amplified hundreds of times compared to the destruction of his clan.
Seeing Ye Yu's Dao heart damaged, Old Liu hurriedly spoke again.
"Lord, quickly tell Nalan Yong to stop! If you have this… inclination, I can guarantee that after you join 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao), I will offer a million mortals for your amusement.
Ye Yu is, after all, the Holy Son of 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao). If you destroy him, it will be difficult to explain to 奉天仙朝 (Feng Tian Xian Chao)."
