Chapter 926: Death with Unclosed Eyes

"God?"

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Zhu laughed maniacally.

"What kind of existence is a god? Only in legends, perhaps even a nonexistent entity."

"Stop with your scare tactics!"

He glared hatefully at the black-robed figure before him and roared, "If you really are a god, then make Fengyue Island collapse right now and show me!"

The black-robed figure looked at him as if he were a fool.

With a gentle tap of his hand.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed across the entire Fengyue Island.

The Fengyue Tower crumbled to the ground, and as it fell, massive cracks resembling canyons began to spread across the island, causing it to sink rapidly.

At the same time, towering tsunamis, as high as the sky, surged from all directions, crashing down like Mount Tai.

It was as if a colossal beast had emerged from the depths of the earth, ready to devour the entire Fengyue Island.

Fengyue Island was shattered into pieces.

"What?!"

Xu Zhu's eyes widened in shock.

The higher-ups of the Fengyue Sect were like ants on a hot pan, scrambling around in panic, not knowing what to do, their hearts filled with despair.

"It's a god, it really is a god!"

The crowd wailed.

The sudden calamity that had befallen the vast Fengyue Island was something only a god could achieve with a mere wave of the hand.

Even a sage, who could influence the world, would need a gradual process to accomplish such a feat.

"Great one, spare us, spare us!"

The people of Fengyue Island knelt on the ground, weeping and begging for mercy like madmen.

Bai Ji, who was now reduced to nothing but a Dao Heart, was so terrified that he ran around in a frenzy, on the verge of a mental breakdown. "Father, ahhh, save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I'm the next island master of Fengyue Island!"

Xu Zhu, kneeling on the ground, trembled with bloodshot eyes.

He was filled with resentment.

He was filled with extreme resentment.

He still couldn't understand how things had come to this.

He raised his blood-red eyes and shouted hatefully, "So what if you're a god? Does being a god give you the right to kill innocents?"

"My Fengyue Island has never provoked you, let alone defied the will of the gods. I think you're just using this as an excuse to kill indiscriminately!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Ji, now only a Dao Heart, quickly chimed in. "You're just killing innocents! If you keep killing like this, even if you're gods, you'll face divine retribution!"

The father and son, knowing they were powerless to resist, tried to find a way out of their desperate situation by using provocation.

The black-robed figure sneered with disdain.

"Very well, I'll let you die with clarity."

He waved his hand.

A scene appeared above the heads of the crowd.

When they saw this scene, everyone was shocked.

Especially Xu Zhu and Bai Ji, who felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Him?"

"It's him? How could it be him?"

The father and son murmured in pale-faced disbelief.

Because the person in the scene was none other than Yi Feng.

They finally understood why these black-robed figures had come—it was because of Yi Feng.

"Back then, my master personally appointed Feng Qianyue as the island master and ordered you to assist her properly."

"But you ignored my master's words and immediately plotted against her after he left. So tell me, do you deserve to die?"

"Since my master has no time to deal with you, as his servant, it falls upon me to handle this matter."

As the voice spoke.

Lou Benwei took a step forward.

With that step, the bodies of the fleeing higher-ups of the Fengyue Sect exploded into a rain of blood.

From the countless destroyed bodies, numerous Dao Hearts wailed and scattered, each with a terrified little face, scrambling like locusts trying to survive.

But the sky was soon filled with raging flames, engulfing them.

At this moment.

The Dao Hearts widened their eyes, their faces twisted in horror as they desperately tried to escape, searching for a way out in the sea of fire. But the flames were everywhere, burning their souls and causing them to tremble.

For a moment, the air was filled with agonized screams, sending chills down everyone's spines.

In no time, the higher-ups of Fengyue Island, along with their Dao Hearts, were reduced to ashes.

The once-mighty Fengyue Sect now only had Xu Zhu and Bai Ji left.

Xu Zhu was filled with regret, his intestines turning green with remorse.

He had thought that after Yi Feng left, he would never find out about what they had done. But he never expected such a catastrophic disaster.

He never imagined that Yi Feng was such a being.

No wonder, no wonder the Death Inheritance, which had remained unclaimed for countless years, was so easily obtained by him.

If he had known this earlier, he would have given up everything and truly assisted Feng Qianyue. Perhaps in the future, he could have...

Truly, one wrong step led to a thousand more mistakes!

"Spare me, spare me, great one!"

At this moment, Bai Ji flew out, his face twisted in desperation as he begged for mercy. "This isn't my fault! I wanted Feng Qianyue to be the island master! It was this old fool who tricked me! If it weren't for him, I would never have committed such a grave mistake!"

Bai Ji's words caused Xu Zhu to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You..."

"You unfilial son!"

He never expected that his own flesh and blood would betray him at this moment.

Although he had taken the wrong path, everything he had done was for his son. Even though he had failed, he had no regrets, only resentment that he had lacked a bit of luck.

But Bai Ji's betrayal shattered the last bit of his mental defense.

His Dao Heart collapsed.

Kneeling on the ground, though his body, soul, and consciousness were still intact, he was more like a walking corpse.

"You old fool, you still dare to shout! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess!" Bai Ji's Dao Heart, filled with hatred, suddenly emitted a bright light and shot toward Xu Zhu's forehead like a stream of light.

Xu Zhu's forehead was instantly pierced, and his life force began to drain rapidly.

With his dying eyes, he stared at the Dao Heart floating in front of him. He never thought he would die at the hands of his own son.

But the Dao Heart didn't even glance at him, still begging for its own survival. "Great one, look! I killed him! I killed this old fool! See, I'm not on his side! Please spare me!"

Behind him, Xu Zhu's pupils dilated as he fell to the ground.

But his eyes remained wide open, unclosed even in death.

The black-robed figure coldly observed all of this.

His expression was filled with mockery and disdain.

With a stretch of his pale, skeletal hand, Bai Ji, still in mid-air, was pulled toward him and tightly grasped.

"Spare you?"

"You weren't so arrogant earlier."

"Besides, shouldn't you experience for yourself what you inflicted on others?"

Under the black robe, a sinister smile formed.

With a flick of his finger, an invisible domain enveloped Bai Ji's Dao Heart.

Within the domain, lightning flashed, fire raged, and all sorts of violent energies filled the space.

"Ah, great one, why won't you keep your word? I killed my father! Shouldn't you let me go?"

From within the domain, Bai Ji's voice, filled with despair and fear, echoed.

In the next moment, he was engulfed by the various forces, and his agonized screams filled the air.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

"I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Let me out..."

"Let me out... I'll never do it again..."

"It's all my fault, I beg you, spare me..."

The pleas for mercy echoed loudly.

At this moment, he was like a pitiful insect trapped in a cage, surrounded by flames and ice, unable to escape.

Until, as Fengyue Island sank into the sea, he, in extreme pain and torment, was buried along with it.

In the sky, only the retreating figure of the black-robed man remained.
