682: Chapter 682: Karma Judgment? Who could have judged me before?

"What if I am a sinner?"

"If pursuing power and breaking rules makes one a sinner, then how many sinners are there in this world?"

Kong Wudao's indifferent and mocking voice echoed from the depths of the primal black coffin.

"Furthermore, if I am guilty, who here can judge me?"

"Not you, the True Body of Heavenly Mandate, nor even those true Immortal Ascension peak Cultivators!"

"Why not stop struggling and become my nourishment, a stepping stone on my path to the higher Dao? You might even avoid some suffering."

As he spoke, the True Body of Heavenly Mandate could clearly feel the pulling force emanating from the depths of the primal black coffin becoming increasingly terrifying. Most of His body had already begun to disappear, even being completely swallowed into the dark depths.

As the True Body of Heavenly Mandate, as the true will that transcended all, He was now being gradually dissolved, becoming a form of nourishment!

The immense life-or-death crisis also prompted the True Body of Heavenly Mandate to launch His final resistance.

Kong Wudao had accumulated countless sins throughout his life, having slain an innumerable amount of Cultivators and living beings.

In a sense, he should have long ago been afflicted by boundless Karmic Obstruction, dragged into the depths of the Karmic Obstruction abyss, never to reincarnate!

"I offer the Origin of the True Body of Heavenly Mandate as a sacrifice! Here, with the Origin Dao as witness, I judge Kong Wudao's Karmic Obstruction!"

A majestic voice suddenly emanated from the damaged True Body of Heavenly Mandate.

He knew that if this continued, the ultimate outcome would only be His absorption as nourishment by Kong Wudao, fulfilling the other party in a certain sense.

It would be better to directly sacrifice Himself before that happened.

To initiate the Primal Karmic Obstruction judgment on Kong Wudao.

As long as something exists in the world, possessing its own consciousness, whether it be a living being or a special energy substance, it will unconsciously be tainted by Karmic Obstruction.

There are many types of Karmic Obstruction.

Being entangled in Karma, slaying living beings, and eroding Luck all incur Karmic Obstruction as a price.

Karmic Obstruction is ubiquitous; it can be as minor as someone accidentally stepping on a small fly one day.

It can also be a certain Opportunity.

All gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price.

And these prices are the Karmic Obstruction that no existence in the world can escape, no matter how hard they try throughout their lives.

Initiating the Primal Karmic Obstruction judgment now was intended to make Kong Wudao suffer Karmic Obstruction backlash, ultimately leaving him without a burial place!

In the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, there were many disasters caused directly or indirectly by Kong Wudao.

The number of Cultivators and living beings he personally killed or who died indirectly because of him was also unimaginably vast.

All these sins transformed into Karmic Obstruction backlash; Kong Wudao would inevitably face a catastrophe!

A terrifying scene appeared.

After the entire world fell into a brief stagnation.

Suddenly, an indescribably terrifying power manifested out of thin air.

Amidst a colossal rumbling sound.

A massive bone temple, constructed from countless living creature skeletons and various congealed blood, appeared out of nowhere without warning, instantly filling the entire Universe space.

And at the very front of the bone temple, a bronze guillotine, crafted from an unknown material, engraved with countless ancient runes, and exuding an ancient aura, stood majestically.

Even after countless epochs, the guillotine was still stained with some viscous blood.

Every drop seemed to contain boundless sin.

Through the refraction of the blood, one could even see countless eerie specters screaming and wailing deep within the blood.

Almost at the instant this eerie bronze guillotine appeared.

Kong Wudao, who was integrated with the primal black coffin, could distinctly feel an inexplicable, eerie power suddenly appearing within his body.

It seemed to want to forcibly pull out his Soul.

To drag him to that massive bronze guillotine to face judgment.

Such a bizarre phenomenon did not instill fear in Kong Wudao; instead, it piqued his interest.

He was perfectly clear about the high level of the primal black coffin's status.

But the power of this bronze guillotine could indirectly affect him, who was already integrated with the primal black coffin, which was enough to indicate its extraordinary nature.

However, he did not believe that its inherent status was on the same level as the primal black coffin.

After all, the primal black coffin was currently only a relatively complete projection, not its true main body.

If this bronze guillotine and the primal black coffin were truly on the same level, it would not have caused him only such a minor impact.

As thoughts surged within Kong Wudao's mind.

Above the massive bronze guillotine, countless blood-red characters, seemingly woven from the blood of various living beings, emerged one by one.

Upon closer inspection, the meaning conveyed by those large characters was astonishingly a depiction and judgment of Kong Wudao's lifetime of sins!

From killing individuals and hunting Spirit Beasts.

To annihilating factions and executing entire clans.

All sorts of Kong Wudao's transgressions surfaced at this moment.

Witnessing this scene, Kong Wudao's heart remained largely undisturbed.

Once a person embarks on the path of Cultivation, they are no longer their own master.

If one is not prepared to kill others, then one should be prepared to be killed by others.

Not to mention that he was originally the Divine Son of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone; if he wasn't ruthless enough in his actions and bloody enough in his methods, he wouldn't gain the reverence of the common people.

This so-called Primal Karmic Obstruction judgment seemed to want to awaken a sense of guilt in his heart through this method.

However, not a single ripple stirred within his heart.

Rumble—

As if offended and enraged by Kong Wudao's indifferent attitude.

The bone temple, composed of countless living creature skeletons, trembled violently.

Countless voices filled with resentment, unwillingness, and indignation echoed from within.

"Kong Wudao! You utterly heinous demon!"

"You are also human; are our lives so lowly and insignificant in your hands, like mere weeds!?"

"You were merely born into a better family, becoming the Divine Son of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone from the start! Other than that, how are you different from us? How could you be so heartless as to strike us down so brutally!"

"Someone as cruel and devoid of emotion as you, do you even deserve to attain the Dao and achieve Immortal Ascension? You should go to Hell!"

"........."

All sorts of enraged shouts erupted one after another.

Countless deceased Souls and vengeful spirits crawled out from the bone temple.

Kong Wudao's Divine Soul seemed to be forcibly yanked from the primal black coffin by some power.

He was to be directly dragged under the bronze guillotine to face judgment.

At the same time, a certain Karmic Obstruction flame began to burn fiercely, even starting to affect the surrounding dark environment, causing the darkness to gradually distort, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Is this your final Move?"

Kong Wudao chuckled.

"I thought you would bring me some kind of surprise. So, it's just this ridiculous method to impose your so-called Karmic Obstruction judgment on me?"

"The meaning of your judgment, in essence, is nothing more than judging the weak."

"Those true existences standing at the peak of the Dao, which one of them doesn't use heaven and earth as a chessboard, and billions upon billions of living beings, even the rise and fall of countless worlds, as pieces?"

"Have they been judged? Have they been entangled by Karmic Obstruction?"

"Mere trash, do you even deserve to judge me!?"
