Looking around, Feng Hui could discern with a glance that these cultivators were brainwashed to remain faithful to Tian Changming forever.
To eliminate the dangerous roots, this refined thought had been imprinted in the depths of his mind. These thousands of cultivators each had some form of talent. In the future, their talent would blossom.
These cultivators would believe that Tian Changming was their savior even at death's door.
It was impossible to erase everything. Fortunately, Feng Hui should be able to remove almost all traces of it from his mother. Since it had been a short few months, this was accomplishable.
"How dare he influence Mother's thoughts?" Feng Hui mumbled under his breath. In enough time, his mother should return to normal after his full continued efforts.
Extending his spiritual sense, Feng Hui's eyes widened as he scanned parts of the world, "This Tian Changming is too sinister."
In this Suxia World, Tian Changming had subordinated innumerable beings. Through his vast spiritual sense and use of the world's laws, everyone was affected. This form of enslavement was disgusting and demolished all free will. In the ten-thousand years where he was the top cultivator, a half-step Immortal, this was the outcome.
Without a doubt, the news regarding him would reverberate across the entire Suxia World after killing the world's supreme leader, Tian Changming.
Feng Hui would draw the combined killing intent of everyone in this world.
To stop this information leaking, he needed to end the lives of everyone watching. Unless he was willing to slaughter the entire Suxia World, Feng Hui had to do this to ensure his family's wellbeing.
To dig up the roots here, this cold action was required in order to avoid future trouble. In Feng Hui's mind, there was nothing more important than his family's safety. If something could harm them, he would end them without fail.
To return to his former peak, Feng Hui had been merciless and abandoned his morals. Chunhua was watching her transformed son in a daze, "Son…?"
"I trust whatever Dàgē does." Living in the apocalypse, Feng Mei had witnessed the countless evils of the world. The evil was not limited to monsters, and it was a common sight to see in humans. In her mind, the wellbeing of her brother and mother was beyond everything else.
This was a brand-new experience for Chunhua. In her entire life, she had never seen her genius son like this. When she had departed, Feng Hui 'was' still her kind, innocent son.
Stepping toward his mother, Feng Hui's bottomless eyes caused her mind to open in disbelief. The mass of cultivators continued to watch this strange, powerful man in wonder.
"You…" Tian Changming's aura climbed, and his eyes were furious. Even if he was unsure of the situation, he knew that this mysterious man was aiming to kill him; Feng Hui's killing intent was soaring to the heavens.
"Tonight, the apocalypse will end." Feng Hui's pitch-black eyes shot open.
Within the layers of night clouds, thunder and lightning flashed. Thick threads of lightning descended, striking everywhere within the stadium. These countless lightning bolts made a splendid and magnificent scene in the blackened night. They landed on the cultivators, causing them to immediately fall onto the ground twitching and screaming, one after another.
"Stop, son!" Feng Chunhua stared at her son in shock. Seeing this cold, peerless man, she could not believe that this was her kind baby boy. Looking behind her, she saw that her battalion had blacked out from the strikes.
Comforting her confused mother, Feng Mei whispered, "When has Mom ever not believed in Dàgē?"
"Mother, Tian Changming and his subordinates destroyed our world," Feng Hui stated. "This much is nothing compared to the suffering of Earth."
Feng Hui understood his mother's thoughts, but he could not allow the chance of them being stabbed in the dark in the future. Furthermore, he knew that her mind was influenced to be subordinate to Tian Changming. Soon, he would eliminate this poisonous thought.
The remnants of Earth were a far cry from its former vast glory, and the one responsible for the madness and agony was this Tian Changming and his subordinates. His mother had not seen the desperation on Earth. It was a habitat akin to hell.
The billions of lives lost, it was far too clear in Feng Hui's mind. After all, he had devoured the vital Qi of these corpses to return to his former peak. Walking this route, he had shed his humanity.
Encasing his mother and sister in a defensive domain, Feng Hui ignored the ear-piercing screams.
The layers of night clouds parted. With each step he took, the earth shook. The atmosphere was becoming distorted. The resident cultivators struggled to breathe in this dense, chaotic air. Their lungs were on fire and being deformed. One by one, countless figures began falling to the ground.
"Stop, now!" Tian Changming roared as his golden robes fluttered in the fierce wind. In an instant, his tall figure appeared before the black-haired man.
Unmoving, Feng Hui looked at the one who had caused the chaos in his homeworld. With a calm face, he sneered, "Tian Changming, I didn't want to deal with this either. You're the one responsible for this."
"Si la–"
A black crack formed. The endless darkness within would frighten even the most courageous soul.
Upon returning to Earth, the sole thing he had wanted was to live with his mother and sister in peace. This bastard had ruined everything. When he had almost lost his mother, his heart was in pieces, and he was unable to think straight.
Reuniting with his mother once more, Feng Hui now wanted nothing more than for everything to end and return to normal, but he had to bring down suitable punishment for this Tian Changming.
In the Long Kingdom, there was still so much he had to do. For the billions of lives lost, Feng Hui would ensure that this golden-robed man would receive the most gruesome end possible.
"What is this…" Seeing the black crack, Tian Changming's heart shook as he felt the enemy's intense aura which was resplendent and alluring.
"Not good." Trying to control the laws of the world, Tian Changming's face turned sullen. To his surprise, he was being halted. As a half-step Immortal, he knew the reason.
This mysterious man had a greater understanding of the laws than himself. Tian Changming clenched his fists, "If I had become a true Immortal, this man would have been nothing more than an ant in front of me."
Upon transcending to become a true Immortal, the world's laws were dominated to their will. At that stage, Tian Changming would have been also able to utilize the world's energy as his own.
Not hesitating to ignite a strand of his vital Qi, Tian Changming's strength flared, and his eyes became crimson. Taking out a mysterious spear of bizarre designs, he snorted, "So what that your understanding of the laws has surpassed mine?"
"There is much more to a battle than that. Blame yourself for not having a suitable weapon." This strange spear had a strong origin even in the Immortal World. In a flash, this spear pierced out from his hand.
"Hong long long~" This simple move caused the surrounding atmosphere to distort even more. In the stadium, the surviving cultivators all collapsed to the floor. Apart from four figures, everyone appeared lifeless.
The air trembled.
"Hmph." Feng Hui watched the mysterious spear nearing his figure.
In the end, these subordinates were nothing more than chess pieces to this Tian Changming. To save his own skin, he did not hesitate to sacrifice more lives.
Lifting his hand, Feng Hui's eyes shone with a bright light. Pushing back the spear through the world's laws, his face blackened.
Strange lights of all colors began surrounding the enchanted spear. These lights revolved before converging at a single point—the spearhead. Forming a dark star, a sudden black sphere enveloped Feng Hui.
"Dàgē!" Feng Mei screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks. Despite her elder brother's might, she feared for his life upon seeing this frightening black sphere.
Watching the battle, Chunhua did not have the slightest thought about the others anymore. Even with her brainwashed mind, her children were the most important. With her trembling hand, she tried to break out of this defensive domain.
Banging on the invisible barrier, Chunhua cried out, "Let us out, son! We need to go home!"
"What?" Stuck in the sphere, the world's laws were unable to affect this mysterious black sphere. Despite his excellent understanding, this attack was beyond mysterious to him.
Within the sphere, Feng Hui was unable to even extend his spiritual sense outside.
Seeing that the black sphere was holding up, Tian Changming snickered, "Brat. You're still wet behind the ears to face someone like me."
"Two can play this game." Feeling the pressure closing in on him, Feng Hui sneered. Emerging from his soul, a sky executioner's sword exploding with malicious intent appeared in his right hand.
If a mortal held this weapon, their soul and flesh would be obliterated in an instant. This was an ancient artifact that had existed since time immemorial in the Eastern World, according to the countless scrolls.
This ancient artifact was far too dangerous to be left alone. Thus, Feng Hui had hidden it in his soul space never to reveal it to the outside world. When he had discovered this sword as the eighteen-year-old Long Fengge, his mind was engrossed for weeks.
This artifact was a big reason that he was unafraid of Zhao Jing back in Fudan High, but it would have been dangerous to use this weapon back then, even with a large part of the weapon being sealed.
Years ago, the weapon's resting area...
In the center of a vast black volcano, this sky executioner's sword was brewing within the deepest parts of the lava. For hundreds of miles, there was no sign of life anywhere near the volcano.
Whenever a lifeform neared its region, their figure would be sucked inside the sky executioner's sword. After the news spread, no one dared to venture the area, leading to entire cities being abandoned. With the support of the world's laws, Feng Hui had been able to resist most of the suction.
Releasing the intricate seals he had left on the sword, the hairs on his skin started rising. Closing his eyes, Feng Hui could feel the innumerable mournful lives that the sword had swallowed. These souls were screaming with unbridled resentment.
There seemed to be an entire other world hidden within this sword: a hellish creation. Even as a top Transcendent, Feng Hui was unable to extract anything.
