Yet Lu Yuan did not pause in the slightest. He extended a jade-like hand and pressed it toward Ye Fan.
Before Ye Fan's despairing, bewildered gaze, the world went dark.
Having easily erased a Child of Destiny, Lu Yuan sighed leisurely. "Since ancient times, villains have died from talking too much. Kill you, and your secrets will still be mine."
The next moment.
A ball of light flew out from the back of Ye Fan's head. It spun in place for a moment, then prepared to flee.
Just then.
Lu Yuan's eyes were suddenly filled with dazzling golden light, lightning seeming to flicker within them like a golden sea of thunder.
With a slight raise of his hand, boundless power of laws instantly wrapped around the white sphere of light and slowly devoured it.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for directly killing a Child of Destiny. Rewards doubled.
Reward One: Villain Value +4000
Reward Two: Thunder Heavenly Witch Bloodline
Reward Three: Emperor-Sealing Realm Guards ×4
Ding! Successfully captured one Level 2 system. Decomposing...
Decomposition successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Power of Heavenly Calculation ×10.
Power of Heavenly Calculation: Can be used by silently reciting it in one's heart. It can calculate all matters within the Tianxiao Continent.
Ding! During the decomposition process, the Golden Finger Maker successfully learned two pieces of information. The Host may view them at any time.
The rewards for directly killing Ye Fan were exceedingly generous.
There was no need to mention the four Emperor-Sealing Realm Guards. The Thunder Heavenly Witch Bloodline alone was enough to make Lu Yuan's eyes light up.
The Witch Race was an extremely powerful force within the endless river of time and space.
Among the Witch Race, the strongest beings were undoubtedly the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Below them were the Great Witches, Heaven Witches, Mystic Witches, Crimson Witches, Witch Soldiers, and so on.
The Witch Race dominated endless time and space through the power of their flesh and their innate affinity with the power of laws. Even the weakest Witch Soldiers could roam through different realms of time and space.
Before powerful Witches, any Primordial Sacred Body or Heavenly Tyrant Body was utterly vulnerable.
As for Heaven Witches, even in the Dark Continent, they were among the most powerful experts.
The value of a Thunder Heavenly Witch Bloodline could even buy thousands upon thousands of planes like the Tianxiao Continent.
The Power of Heavenly Calculation was easy enough to understand. It was precisely the ability possessed by Ye Fan, the Child of Destiny.
However, Lu Yuan could use it without paying any price. Its only flaw was that it could only be used ten times and could only calculate matters within the Tianxiao Continent.
"It feels like something too bland to enjoy, yet too precious to discard."
Lu Yuan could not help shaking his head. As for the two pieces of information mentioned by the system, there was no rush. He could check them later.
Lu Yuan raised his head and walked out of the Divine Calculation Pavilion.
After Ye Fan's death, the Divine Calculation Pavilion had become an ordinary building.
At that moment, dark clouds had long covered the skies outside the Divine Calculation Pavilion, and Tribulation Clouds filled the heavens.
Thunder containing the wrath of heaven was poised to strike.
The instant Lu Yuan stepped out of the Divine Calculation Pavilion, lightning powerful enough to kill an Emperor Realm expert would descend from the Tribulation Clouds.
Yet Lu Yuan remained fearless. He calmly walked outside and stared directly at the heavens.
During the previous Destiny Backlash, Lu Yuan had been unwilling to expose his strength, so he had let Elder You act on his behalf. But this time, Lu Yuan wanted to personally test just how powerful the Destiny Backlash truly was.
If Elder You and Elder Ming had to act personally every time, it would truly be a waste of their talents.
"You thieving heavens, do you really think I fear you?"
A sharp light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. Ignoring the stunned crowd around him, he shot into the sky and actually charged straight toward the Tribulation Clouds.
Before long, dark-blue lightning flickered within the Tribulation Clouds stretching across a million miles, like countless true dragons roaring.
Outside the Divine Calculation Pavilion, Liu Xuewei and the others were utterly shocked, unable to understand what had happened.
Suddenly, someone cried out.
"Th-the Mystic Pavilion Master is dead!"
"Heavens, that man killed the Mystic Pavilion Master!"
The crowd fell into chaos. Everyone rushed into the Divine Calculation Pavilion at once and saw Ye Fan lying on the ground, long devoid of life.
Ye Fan had only entered the world a little over three months ago, yet his reputation had already spread across half the Central Domain. Countless important figures had wanted him to divine their fortunes.
More than half of those present were spies or envoys sent by certain important figures.
Yet Ye Fan was dead!
There was no need to think about it. News of Ye Fan's death would surely stir up monstrous waves throughout the Central Domain.
And Lu Yuan, the culprit behind Ye Fan's death, would draw the enmity of countless important figures.
Among the innumerable sects and holy lands, there were more or less ancestors nearing the end of their lifespans.
If these terrifying figures wanted to extend their lives, they either had to advance further and break through to a higher realm, or find extraordinarily precious heavenly treasures.
These important figures had originally placed their hopes on Ye Fan, yet Ye Fan had died.
This also meant that their hopes of survival were gone.
Every Child of Destiny, aside from being blessed with destiny and possessing extraordinary talent, had something even more terrifying: limitless connections.
You could never know exactly which important figures stood behind an ordinary Child of Destiny.
Perhaps even the Child of Destiny himself did not know how many terrifying existences stood behind him.
Seeing that Ye Fan had truly died, everyone stood rooted to the spot for a long time. Soon, someone came to their senses and sent the news back, spreading it outward.
Almost in an instant, countless terrifying existences within countless hidden forbidden lands across the Central Domain let out earth-shaking roars. They then broke their own seals and charged toward Snow Spirit City without regard for anything else.
Cutting off someone's wealth was like killing their parents. What about cutting off their path of cultivation and their hope of survival?
The moment Liu Xuewei saw Ye Fan's death, she realized something was wrong. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she tried to slip away quietly.
However, at that moment, the Taiyi Sect Elder suddenly noticed Liu Xuewei and flew into a rage. "It was you! You brought that bastard here, you bitch!"
Upon hearing his words, the others all turned to look.
Every one of them bore hostile expressions, their eyes filled with killing intent.
Liu Xuewei's face instantly turned deathly pale. She fell to the ground and helplessly waved her hands. "No, it wasn't me."
"Why waste so many words on her? Kill her!"
Someone shouted furiously, making no attempt to conceal his killing intent.
Liu Xuewei was filled with despair, and she could not help harboring some resentment toward Lu Yuan.
No one noticed that the Tribulation Clouds stretching across a million miles overhead were rapidly vanishing. At their center stood a figure dressed in white with white hair, his entire body wreathed in black Demonic Qi.
Just as the crowd was about to attack Liu Xuewei.
The white-haired figure abruptly appeared at the entrance of the Divine Calculation Pavilion and raised a pair of blood-red demonic eyes filled with madness and bloodlust.
The next second, the white-haired figure waved a hand.
Everyone, along with the Divine Calculation Pavilion, instantly turned to ash and scattered with the wind.
Lu Yuan stood where he was, the Demonic Qi and killing intent around him surging uncontrollably.
The million inhabitants of Snow Spirit City all fell into an inexplicable unease.
"I was careless. I didn't expect the Tribulation Qi within the Tribulation Clouds to trigger a rampage in my Demon Body," Lu Yuan muttered, while the emotions in his pupils grew increasingly indifferent.
"If this continues, I'll completely fall into demonic madness. I have to slaughter to my heart's content before I can suppress it."
Lu Yuan slowly turned around, his gaze falling upon the city beneath his feet. At some point, a Dark Red Long Blade had appeared in his hand.
