Outside the dojo, Lin Changqing activated the Devouring Black Hole as he frantically devoured these people's divine souls and wills, extracting their origins.
Piercing screams and furious curses rang out without end.
Yet Lin Changqing only sneered, utterly unmoved. He looked coldly at them and gave a light laugh. "Don't worry. I won't violate the Ancestral Court's rules and kill you. I won't do something so foolish as trade my own life for the worthless lives of trash like you.

Boom... rumble...
In an instant, the black hole spun even more violently. Waves of devouring might erupted, forcibly extracting these people's origins and swallowing their divine souls and wills.

Once their origins dispersed, they would become useless cripples in the future. Even
