159: Chapter 159 At the Time of Liquidation, Let's Not Talk Nonsense!

Amidst the ruins, Ji Haoyue's body trembled violently upon hearing Qin Huangtian's voice transmission.

His last shred of mental support had thoroughly collapsed.

The light in his eyes dimmed completely.

He was like an empty shell, his Soul having been drained away.

Nothing remained but endless, bone-deep despair.

So, from beginning to end, he had just been a joke.

A self-righteous clown.

Qin Yu slowly withdrew his gaze from the sky, his face devoid of any triumphant expression.

As if all of this were only natural.

He lowered his head, his cold gaze falling once more upon that pile of utterly ruined flesh.

"Ji Haoyue. Do you still think you have the qualifications to discuss the principles of heaven with me now?"

Upon hearing these words, Ji Haoyue's unfocused pupils seemed to refocus for a fleeting moment.

He looked at Qin Yu's face, close at hand, which bore a playful smile.

Endless malice surged from the depths of his eyes.

But he could do nothing; he could only emit strange, rasping sounds from his throat.

Seeing this, Qin Yu raised his head, his eyes cold.

"In that case, I want you to watch the destruction of the Ji Family with your own eyes! Begin the purge!"

The absolute silence was shattered by Qin Yu's cold command.

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of every soldier in the Zhentian Army.

"By your command!" Li Yuan, who had been waiting on a warship in the distance, responded immediately.

The next moment, a rumbling sound erupted! The sound of uniform footsteps, like the drums of death, echoed from all directions.

Dressed in profound black armor, with Qi and blood like Dragons, the soldiers of the Zhentian Army advanced along the entire line from outside the collapsed mountain gate, like a tide reaping lives.

Their eyes were indifferent, their movements uniform. There was not the slightest chaos or hesitation. They were nothing but emotionless killing machines!

"Seal the realm, leave no one alive!" Li Yuan, holding his war blade, issued the cold command.

The Zhentian Army's formation quickly spread out, turning into an inescapable net. They began to ruthlessly purge every living Soul in this broken world.

"No, don't kill me!" A Disciple of the Ji Family crawled out of the ruins, scrambling to escape in terror.

He was met with a swift and clean flash of a blade. His head soared into the sky. Fresh blood stained the shattered white jade floor tiles red.

The once ethereal, mist-shrouded jade pavilions were now ablaze with raging black demonic fire. That was the aura left behind by the chaos return to ruins banner.

Dragging everything into the bottomless abyss.

The immortal cranes that once soared through the clouds, symbolizing longevity and good omens, now emitted shrill, mournful cries as the soldiers easily snapped their necks. Feathers were scattered everywhere.

The entire Everlasting Ji Family, this hidden Holy Land that once made countless forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths look up in awe, was now facing its final curtain call.

A thorough, complete reckoning.

Qin Yu paid no attention to the symphony of slaughter behind him. He simply walked slowly to stand before Ji Haoyue.

His footsteps were light; stepping on the rubble, he made not a sound. Yet, every step felt like it was crushing Ji Haoyue's broken heart.

"Impossible..." Ji Haoyue was still muttering, his mind completely broken. He no longer even had the strength to beg for mercy.

Seeing him in this state, Qin Yu lost his last shred of interest.

"Go peacefully on your way. Enough with the nonsense."

Qin Yu stood up and beckoned with his right hand. Hum! In the Void Realm, the world-ending halberd let out a soft cry and fell into his palm.

That ultimate dao emperor armament, which had just drunk the blood of the Heavenly Demon, exuded a terrifying, sinister aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Qin Yu did not hesitate in the slightest. He swung his arm casually. A pitch-black halberd light instantly slashed across Ji Haoyue's neck.

Pfft! A head stained with blood and dust flew high into the air. It traced a tragic arc through the air before rolling into the ruins in the distance.

Ji Haoyue, this God Child of the Everlasting Ji Family, the Child of Destiny who had stirred the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens, was thoroughly dead!

His headless corpse was still twitching slightly on the ground.

An extremely solid, illusory Soul, containing vast Luck of destiny and Grandmist Origin, broke free from his corpse in terror, wanting to escape into the Void Realm.

"Trying to run?" Qin Yu sneered. He raised his left hand.

The chaos return to ruins banner unfolded with a boom, covering the entire firmament.

Upon seeing Ji Haoyue's highly nourishing Soul, those billions of twisted faces all let out greedy shrieks.

An irresistible, terrifying suction force erupted from the pitch-black abyss hole in the center of the banner.

"No—!" Ji Haoyue's Soul let out a silent roar, filled with despair and unwillingness.

But it was all in vain. He was like a moth stuck in a spiderweb, being forcibly pulled and dragged toward that endless abyss by that tyrannical power.

Soon, his main Soul was completely detained within the chaos return to ruins banner.

Becoming yet another glorious, working Soul, following in the footsteps of Xiao Fan, Wang Teng, Gu Changge, and others.

After devouring this main Soul containing the Grandmist Origin, the chaos return to ruins banner emitted an extremely satisfied hum.

The wisp of immortal Dao charm on the surface of the banner seemed to have become a bit more solid. An unprecedented aura of transformation was quietly brewing deep within the banner.

The wailing and slaughter of the Everlasting Ji Family had entered its final stages. The Zhentian Army was ruthlessly reaping all the remaining life on this land.

The once glorious immortal Holy Land was now nothing but broken walls and ruins, with rivers of blood flowing.

Qin Yu held the world-ending halberd in one hand, his other hand behind his back, silently hovering above the ruins.

Beneath his feet lay Ji Haoyue's headless corpse. His head, eyes wide with unfulfilled resentment, had rolled not far away, a look of incomprehensible horror frozen on its face.

Deep within the chaos return to ruins banner, the aura of transformation that had been brewing for so long became increasingly intense. However, it was still missing a little something. It was just a little short of the mark.

Qin Yu raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping across this broken world. It was too slow. Although the efficiency of the Zhentian Army was high, the Everlasting Ji Family's greater world territory was vast, and the living beings there numbered more than hundreds of millions.

By the time they killed their way through inch by inch, it would all be over. Qin Yu did not have that kind of patience.

"Li Yuan." He spoke indifferently. "By your command!" In the distance, Li Yuan, who was directing the battle, shuddered and immediately responded via Divine Thought.

"Lead all the Zhentian Army soldiers to withdraw from this world and seal all exits." Qin Yu's command was concise and cold.

Li Yuan's heart trembled; although he did not understand what the God Child intended to do, he did not hesitate in the slightest. "Your subordinate obeys!"

Military orders were like mountains. The Zhentian Army, which had been advancing like a tide, did not hesitate for a moment upon receiving the order and began to withdraw outward at an even faster speed.

Soon, they formed a blockade array covering the entire world barrier, completely turning this vast area into a cage.

Those Ji Family members who had luckily escaped the slaughter thought they had finally found a chance to breathe. As they watched the Zhentian Army retreat, a trace of relief at having survived the catastrophe just appeared on their faces. The next moment, they saw the most extreme terror, something they would never be able to forget for the rest of their lives, not even for eternity!
