Death May Be Spared, but Punishment Cannot Be Escaped

Lin Yu knew that not every cultivator in this world possessed his strength. For ordinary cultivators, there were too many things they couldn't say or had to do against their will.

But none of this is an excuse to destroy the fragments of the sky-mending project.

Therefore, although Lin Yu could understand the actions of the black-robed high priest, he still could not stand idly by.

"You may be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment," Lin Yu said slowly.

If he hadn't come from the era of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, Lin Yu would never have known what the future held.

After all, the disasters that the Dao Qi era will face in the future are far from ordinary, and they are not even disasters that can be solved by the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.

In fact, Lin Yu had seen it before in the Sea of Reincarnation: even in its complete form, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece could not withstand the invasion of dark power.

However, even so, it cannot be said that the Black-Robed High Priest was without any faults.

"To think you can recklessly destroy the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Clan just because you're not in control of your own destiny, and yet you call yourself the High Priest of the Phoenix Clan," Lin Yu said, shaking his head.

The fact that the Daoqi era would suffer such a great calamity was clearly a choice made by the times.

In this era, there were countless cultivators with similar ideas to the Black-Robed High Priest, and it was precisely because every cultivator had such ideas that the Dao Qi era was ultimately crushed by the great calamity.

The high priest in black robes looked at Lin Yu, his back ramrod straight.

He understood what Lin Yu was saying, but clearly, he was focusing more of his attention on the Phoenix Clan.

"It seems you're waiting for me to take action myself," Lin Yu said coldly.

As he spoke, a black cube slowly appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

The cube was a regular hexagon with eight sharp edges, surrounded by a black aura and radiating a chaotic light.

The black cube spun in Lin Yu's hand. Although it was only the size of a palm, the energy contained within it was enough to make one's blood run cold.

The black-robed high priest's expression changed as he looked at Lin Yu. If he had a sliver of clarity before, the power Lin Yu displayed now had completely sobered him up.

This is a force that I simply cannot contend with.

The high priest in black robes was horrified.

"Now you know fear?!" Lin Yu's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the black-robed high priest. He never expected that this incredibly stubborn old man would actually have a moment of fear.

As it turned out, the black-robed high priest was indeed a man who was too proud to admit his mistakes and suffered for it.

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, he immediately forced himself to show an indifferent expression.

Lin Yu: "..."

He naturally knew that it was no easy task for the black-robed high priest, as the high priest of the Phoenix Clan, to maintain the safety of the Phoenix Clan over the years, which was why he had come up with this plan.

The dark cube in Lin Yu's hand is a miniature version of the cataclysmic disaster that the Dao Qi era will face in the future; it was created by Lin Yu through the Hongmeng System.

Of course, normally speaking, the Hongmeng System, which is in the Dao Qi era, could never create a cataclysmic disaster that has not yet occurred, but now, Lin Yu has made it a reality.

Nothing more than what was extracted from Lin Yu's memories.

After all, Lin Yu was a cultivator who had personally witnessed the cataclysmic disaster.

The cataclysmic event reconstructed from Lin Yu's memories was clearly not as powerful as the real cataclysmic event. According to Lin Yu's estimation, it was at most only half the power of the real cataclysmic event.

Because this was created by the Hongmeng System, Lin Yu deliberately controlled it. The old priest in black robes received more physical punishment, and his primordial power was not greatly affected.

After all, this black-robed high priest will continue to protect the ancient phoenix clan in the future.

Whether in the Dao Qi era or in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, the Phoenix Clan is undoubtedly an indispensable race.

Besides that, Lin Yu wasn't showing mercy to the black-robed high priest, but rather he was considering that in the event of a cataclysmic calamity in the future, the Dao Qi era would still need a fighting force.

If the Black-Robed High Priest is dealt with now, the crisis facing the Dao Qi Era will be even more terrifying.

Although nothing changed in terms of the outcome, Lin Yu was willing to help the Phoenix Clan.

In any case, among his disciples in the Hongmeng sequence, there are two cultivators with the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan.

"Hmph!" The black-robed high priest snorted coldly. Before this, he never expected that the cultivator who understood him best in the world would be this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.

The black-robed high priest transformed back into his original form and charged towards Lin Yu. However, this time, he didn't intend to attack Lin Yu, but rather to charge towards the world-destroying calamity in Lin Yu's hands.

Now that things have come to this, he knows that his resistance is pointless. Since that's the case, he might as well obediently follow Lin Yu's arrangements.

Those who understand the times are wise, and Lin Yu was quite satisfied with the actions of the black-robed high priest.

With a gentle lift of his hand, the black cube in his hand suddenly magnified countless times, transforming into a small tower, and landed on the head of the black-robed high priest.

"Buzz..."

A beam of black light shot out from the cube, binding the black-robed high priest tightly.

"Roar!" The black-robed high priest let out a long howl, and then disappeared into the black cube. All the light disappeared, and the Phoenix Ancestral Sea returned to its original state.

Looking at the black-robed high priest who had already been put away, Lin Yu clapped his hands, thinking to himself, "I've given him a taste of his own medicine."

"You threw me into the desert sands before, and now I'm throwing you into the cataclysmic disaster. It's a case of retribution for your actions."

"However, you want my life, but I will absolutely not do anything to you."

"I just hope you can remember this lesson and not make the same mistake again."

With that, Lin Yu put away the black cube, then took a step and returned to his original room.

"Creak..." Lin Yu pushed open the door, and bright sunlight fell on him.

Lin Yu went outside and looked around. The entire Phoenix Clan was still in good order, and it was clear that the disappearance of the black-robed high priest had not affected them in any way.

Of course, rather than saying that, it would be more accurate to say that most of the Phoenix Clan members were unaware that the Black-Robed High Priest was in trouble.

Since even the Phoenix Lord Feng Nianzhi didn't sense anything, the other clansmen naturally couldn't know what had happened either.
