367: Chapter 367 The Power of Killing

[June, Year 29.]

[After successfully forming the Yang Spirit, you continued to Cultivate while attempting to deduce the second transformation of the Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood Realm.]

[However, you had already nearly exhausted the Earth Star's supernatural heritage. Attempting to deduce a higher Realm based on it would be more difficult than before.]

["As expected, I'll eventually have to rely on the power of my talent." You sighed to yourself, yet you were also somewhat impatient to experience another facet of your talent's power.]

[You see, your talent was named the Immeasurable Killing Dao, yet you had only used its power to slash through cultivation Bottlenecks.]

[Up until now, you had never truly killed a sentient being or experienced the most fundamental form of slaughter.]

[Coincidentally, after advancing to the Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood Realm, your talent was further liberated.]

[You could feel that your Immeasurable Killing Dao talent also possessed a growth-type ability.]

[That is, you could obtain power feedback by killing sentient beings.]

[The more a target was deemed worthy of death by you, the more feedback you would receive upon killing them.]

[You called this feedback Dao Power.]

[It represented the feedback power of the Great Dao obtained after practicing the path of the Great Dao of Killing.]

[This was actually an unknown supernatural path; this Dao feedback could amplify or even permanently enhance your attributes in all aspects.]

[Even if you stopped creating supernatural Realms beyond the manifestation of the Yang Spirit...]

[...if you simply kept killing like this, you would eventually grow to an inconceivable level.]

[If you had felt this power on the first day of your Transmigration, you might have truly embarked on this path of a god of slaughter.]

[Unfortunately, there are no "ifs." Right after your Transmigration, you landed in the secluded Qingfeng Temple, and later, you came to Tenglong University.]

[With no reckless fools jumping out in front of you, you had no desire for slaughter.]

[More importantly, you possessed peerless talent, and your strength increased rapidly, so you never had the worry of reaching a dead end.]

[Therefore, in the beginning, you only treated your talent as a cultivation accelerator and a supportive cheat; you never really thought about developing its power through the slaughter of all living beings.]

[However, it wasn't too late. In your view, combining the power of cultivation with the power of your talent should allow you to go further than either path alone.]

[Furthermore, you couldn't guarantee that if you followed the path of slaughter alone, you would be able to maintain your clarity of mind in the end.]

[If you could preserve your sense of self, you would be the master of the Killing Dao; if not, you would be a Puppet of your talent.]

["It's time for those who deserve to die to be on their way."]

[As an exemplary young man of society, you naturally couldn't slaughter the innocent. Therefore, your targets were those "scum of society" who had long since abandoned their humanity and were deeply sinful.]

[Originally, you planned to wait a while longer, until the power of the Dharma-Ending Domain completely dissipated and the Dragon Kingdom's government announced the existence of supernatural powers.]

[Then, you would wipe out these social dregs in one fell swoop, performing a large-scale manifestation of divinity to show off properly.]

[Now, you could only send those people on their way early. No, it should be said that these people should have been gone long ago; you were merely returning their fates to the right track.]

[Next, with a slight movement of your thought, you separated a sliver of innate true qi and Yang Spirit Divine Thought, transforming them into a pitch-black humanoid Incarnation. (Appearance similar to the "Shadow Man" from Detective Conan).]

[In addition, you separated another light sphere Incarnation. This sphere contained a portion of your power and could directly connect to the global network via electromagnetic waves.]

["OK, preparations complete. The grand show is about to begin!"]

[You intended to create a grand spectacle.]

[Since no one knew how much the Earth Star would collapse next, you would set an example for its people first.]

[Soon, it was eight o'clock in the evening.]

[At that moment, a livestream room instantly popped up on the mobile phones, computers, televisions, and other electronic devices of billions of people worldwide.]

["What's going on? Is my phone infected with a virus?"]

["Damn! I'm in the middle of a rank-up match! What the hell is this pop-up?"]

["Fuck, I was just about to 'launch,' this is a sin!"]

["I'm on a video call with my girlfriend. Don't mess with me; it wasn't easy to finally get a girlfriend!"]

[...]

[Cries of shock, anger, and confusion rang out in every corner of the globe. People tried to shut down and restart their devices, only to find them completely out of control.]

[Even after unplugging the power, battery-operated devices remained lit.]

[It was as if a power beyond current technological understanding had taken over the information network of human civilization.]

[Amidst the shock, astonishment, and anger of countless people, an image slowly appeared in the livestream.]

[A pitch-black figure appeared on the screen and introduced himself to everyone.]

["Welcome to the Little Black Judgment Livestream. I am Little Black. Secular laws have loopholes, and worldly affairs have biases, but I do not."]

["No matter your net worth, how high your status, or how glamorous your appearance, as long as you carry sin, you cannot escape my judgment."]

["Next, please welcome our first subject of judgment!"]

[Immediately after, the livestream screen flickered, and a man tied to a stone chair appeared before the public.]

[The man's hair was meticulously groomed, his face handsome and cold, with an Innate sense of pressure cultivated from years in a high position.]

[But now, he was firmly fixed to a stone chair by invisible chains, his limbs unable to move. Beneath his noble shell was an uncontrollable panic and gloom.]

[Then, in the air to his right, a crimson light screen slowly unfurled, with the four large characters "List of Sins" written at the very top.]

[Afterward, the screen exposed the filthy crimes of this top CEO nakedly before billions of viewers.]

[Sinner: Lu Ming, 42 years old, Yun City, supreme leader of the Lu Group.]

[Crime One: Commercial Monopoly and Malicious Mergers and Acquisitions.]

[Over ten years, he used gray capital to maliciously suppress dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises, spreading false rumors and cutting off supply chains.]

[Through intimidation and bribery, he forced competitors into bankruptcy and liquidation, causing hundreds of families to go bankrupt overnight, leaving countless employees unemployed and in debt, and driving some entrepreneurs to suicide under the immense pressure.]

[Crime Two: Environmental Pollution and Disregard for Interests.]

[His chemical subsidiaries secretly discharged excessive amounts of highly toxic wastewater and exhaust gases for a long time, tampered with testing data, and bribed local regulators with large sums of money.]

[The soil and water in surrounding villages were severely polluted, leading to a surge in cancer and chronic disease rates among residents and an annual increase in cases of congenital deformities in children. Lu Ming was aware and acquiesced, all to save billions in treatment costs each year.]

[Crime Three: Treating Human Life with Contempt and Eliminating Hidden Dangers.]

[Three internal employees possessed core evidence of pollution fraud and financial tax evasion and attempted to report it.]

[Lu Ming used private forces to orchestrate "accidental" car crashes, workplace persecution, and illegal detention. One died and two were disabled; the relevant evidence was completely destroyed, and the truth remained buried for five years.]

[Crime Four: Massive Tax Evasion, Money Laundering, and Power-Money Transactions.]

[He colluded with gray forces and corrupt officials, walking the edge of the law, hollowing out public resources, seizing illegal windfall profits, and undermining market order and social fairness.]
