113: Pay the price? Then die.

It wasn't just Jin Yang who was completely stunned.

The many Cultivators watching were also utterly dazed, frozen in place.

In their perception, the cultivation of those three corpses was clearly half-step Saint Realm!

In the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain, suppressed by special Laws, they were undoubtedly the top experts!

Now they had not only become cold, lifeless corpses,

but no one even knew when they had died!

Yet one thing was certain:

The one who killed these three half-Saint Realm experts of Golden Crow Divine Mountain was definitely a powerhouse from the Space-Time Forbidden Zone!

"How... how is this possible!?"

Jin Yang let out an incredulous roar.

The three half-Saint Realm experts he considered his trump cards

had fallen before him!?

After the shock, Jin Yang suddenly snapped back to reality.

He immediately groveled before Kong Wu Dao, begging: "Spare my life, Divine Son Wudao!"

"Earlier, I failed to recognize your greatness and deserve to die ten thousand deaths!"

"Please, Divine Son Wudao, spare my life! I am willing to pay any price to appease your wrath!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jin Yang was truly terrified!

Hearing this, Kong Wu Dao sneered: "Since you know you deserve to die ten thousand deaths,"

"then die."

The moment his words fell,

Kong Wu Dao suddenly reached out.

He extended a finger and gently flicked it toward Jin Yang's massive head!

Boom!!

After the thunderous roar of a cataclysmic Law storm shattering the void,

what followed was the bone-chilling sound of bones and flesh breaking.

Amidst the suddenly blooming sea of blood mist, Jin Yuan's head instantly exploded into powder!

But that terrifying force did not disappear; instead, it surged throughout his entire body!

Similar blood mist burst from his abdomen, wings, and feet.

The massive flaming bird, nearly a hundred zhang in size, instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist that scattered!

"..." All the Cultivators were stunned, their Divine Souls seemingly nailed in place, standing there dumbfounded.

The Imperial Son of Golden Crow Divine Mountain, an unparalleled Prodigy,

even after breaking through his cultivation in a life-or-death crisis and unleashing his full power, not only failed to injure his opponent,

but in the end, couldn't even withstand one move from Kong Wu Dao...

No!

To be precise, he couldn't even withstand one finger!

He was instantly killed on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist!

The dazed and stunned atmosphere lasted for several breaths.

"Jin... Jin Yang!"

It wasn't until Jin Yuan, the Imperial Daughter of Golden Crow Divine Mountain, let out a trembling roar

that the frozen space was finally shattered.

Countless dazed Cultivators were abruptly awakened.

The next moment, the entire heaven and earth erupted into chaotic shouts.

"This... this... this is..."

"Divine Son Wudao actually killed Jin Yang, who had broken through to the second level of the Void God Realm, with one finger!?"

"Just how powerful is Divine Son Wudao!?"

Countless Cultivators were at a loss for words to describe their shock, and the crowd boiled over.

At that moment, seeing Kong Wu Dao approaching her, Jin Yuan snapped out of her daze and quickly begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, Divine Son! I am willing to submit to you!"

"I will offer you everything!"

Originally, she had thought of using her last remaining strength to die together with Kong Wu Dao.

But after witnessing his overwhelming display earlier,

she completely abandoned that naive idea.

How could she possibly die together with him?

If she dared to make the slightest move, she would be instantly killed!

"Oh? Offer me everything?" Kong Wu Dao raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a faint smile.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Jin Yuan's eyes lit up with joy, and she chose to strike while the iron was hot.

She quickly said: "Divine Son Wudao! I know that your Space-Time Forbidden Zone and my Golden Crow Divine Mountain have always been at odds!"

"As long as you are willing to spare me today, I am willing to become your spy and gather intelligence for you within Golden Crow Divine Mountain!"

Jin Yuan was not stupid.

If she directly offered to be his bed-warmer, there was a high chance he would kill her on the spot!

But if she said she could be his spy

and gather intelligence about Golden Crow Divine Mountain for Kong Wu Dao, he would definitely be tempted!

And she would gain a better chance of survival!

Even if Kong Wu Dao planted a slave mark on her, it wouldn't matter.

Once she left the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain, she could find her Divine Mountain's Old Ancestor to remove it!

The other Imperial Children who heard this were somewhat tempted.

If they could enslave Jin Yuan as a spy for their Space-Time Forbidden Zone, it would indeed maximize her value.

However, Kong Wu Dao did not respond.

He merely looked at Jin Yuan with a knowing smile.

Anyone else would probably have done just that.

Unfortunately, he was not just anyone.

"A spy?"

Kong Wu Dao shook his head with a laugh, the disdain in his eyes deepening.

"Your Golden Crow Divine Mountain is nothing but a bunch of plucked chickens. With just a trace of Golden Crow Bloodline, you really think you're Golden Crows that even my Space-Time Forbidden Zone fears?"

"Don't overestimate yourselves."

"After all, my Space-Time Forbidden Zone has never taken your Golden Crow Divine Mountain's trash seriously."

"You..." Jin Yuan's pupils contracted; she had never expected Kong Wu Dao to say such things.

But Kong Wu Dao couldn't be bothered to waste more words.

He directly clamped his hand over Jin Yuan's head, and the Devouring Divine Blood within him immediately boiled!

Instantly, Jin Yuan felt her entire Bloodline being continuously drained by Kong Wu Dao, and her life force rapidly faded!

"Spare me, Divine Son..."

"I was only following orders... Please spare my worthless life...!"

Seeing that her earlier bargaining chip had no effect,

Jin Yuan directly sold out her own Divine Son, Yan Yang.

She wanted Kong Wu Dao to forgive her and go after the real culprit, Divine Son Yan Yang.

But Kong Wu Dao completely ignored her. In just a short moment,

Jin Yuan's Bloodline was completely drained.

The two Imperial Children of Golden Crow Divine Mountain had utterly fallen!

...

The world fell into dead silence.

Countless Cultivators' gazes trembled violently, all fixed on that one figure.

Resplendent in white robes, transcendent like an immortal!

At that moment, Kong Wu Dao spoke, as if muttering to himself: "You once said that treating others as cauldrons was their honor."

"Now that you are being treated as cauldrons by me, it is naturally your honor as well."

Kong Wu Dao's voice was very soft.

But in the silent world, it was particularly striking.

It echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

Especially for Mu Qingli.

Her eyes were faintly red, and finally, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"Divine Son... thank you... thank you..."

As she completely collapsed to the ground, her tears finally burst forth uncontrollably.

When she was young, she had parents who doted on her deeply.

But because of her Ancient Vermilion Bird Bloodline,

many Cultivators who sensed her Bloodline's extraordinary nature sought to capture her and use her as a cauldron for their own advancement.

In the end, her parents died protecting her.

When she came of age,

she finally managed to become the Saintess of the Heavenly Fire Holy Palace through her talent.

She thought she had finally established herself in the cultivation world and gained the ability to protect herself.

But she never expected that with the arrival of Golden Crow Divine Mountain, she would once again fall into the abyss of her past trauma.

This experience filled her with anger.

And even more so, despair and helplessness.

Was it destined that those born weak would be used as nourishment and cauldrons by others?

And Kong Wu Dao's words just now seemed to voice all the grievances she had held in her heart over the years.

They had also fiercely vented the resentment and unwillingness she had felt for years.

If she could become the servant of the one who saved her from this abyss,

she would do so willingly.
