Wei Chengfeng looked at Lu Ze and the golden phantom behind him with a complex expression.

He had long heard about Lu Ze's connection with the Heavenly Dao.

But he never expected that the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao would actually act on his behalf.

'No... perhaps it's just because their stances are temporarily aligned.'

'Elder Jiang's actions humiliated the Heavenly Dao, so it's returning the favor in kind?'

'If so, everything makes sense...' 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wei Chengfeng nodded to himself, having already reached an answer in his heart.

This was also the shared thought of everyone who had witnessed this great battle.

Even if it was just a wisp of a Fragment, the Heavenly Dao could never become a tool for any single person; this was absolutely beyond doubt.

"Sirs, how do you wish to resolve this matter?"

Wei Chengfeng composed himself and looked at the phantom behind Lu Ze.

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao showed no reaction, still immersed in the joy of the recent slaughter.

Wei Chengfeng could only look back at Lu Ze: "Little Friend Lu... what is your intention?"

"My intention?"

Lu Ze grinned and said.

"Simple... kill him."

"Although Elder Jiang made a grave mistake in the Illusion Realm, such a punishment is a bit too..."

Wei Chengfeng frowned.

While Jiang Lingfeng's actions were detestable, they certainly weren't worthy of death.

This kind of thing was like being sentenced to death for cheating in a game in a previous life; it was unreasonable both emotionally and logically.

"Since the mistake was made in the Illusion Realm, then it should naturally be repaid in the Illusion Realm."

Lu Ze blinked, showing a harmless expression.

"Does Sect Master truly believe this Junior is such a malicious person?"

"Of course not. I've long heard that Elder Nangong's Disciple has a pure Heart-Nature; otherwise, how could he have formed a connection with the Heavenly Dao?"

Wei Chengfeng waved his hand, a sigh of relief escaping his chest.

If it was just about killing Jiang Lingfeng in the Illusion Realm, it wasn't a big deal.

With that thought, he waved his hand, summoning Jiang Lingfeng to that spot.

At this point, Jiang Lingfeng realized the matter had escalated. Despite his extreme reluctance, he closed his eyes and stood before Lu Ze, adopting a stance as if ready to be slaughtered.

Lu Ze didn't hesitate. His hand rose and fell, directly cleaving Jiang Lingfeng into countless fragments.

【Demonic Value + 7.1】

Listening to the notification sound in his ear, Lu Ze narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Little Friend Lu, do you see anything else we need to compensate you for?"

Wei Chengfeng continued to ask.

With things having escalated to this point, he naturally didn't expect that killing Jiang Lingfeng once in the Illusion Realm would be enough, so he proactively asked.

Lu Ze's eyes lit up: "Again!"

Wei Chengfeng was startled: "Again?"

Lu Ze: "Yes, let him let me kill him again!"

Wei Chengfeng: "???"

...

【Demonic Value + 7.1】

【Demonic Value + 7.1】

【Demonic Value + 7.1】

...

After repeating this more than ten times, the bullet comments in the live stream couldn't hold back.

【This is utterly insane!】

【Looking at Sect Master Wei's expression, he seems a bit broken.】

【This is practically slapping the Limitless Sword Sect's face right in front of him...】

【Exactly, exactly, Old Devil Lu is precisely such a malicious person!】

【Elder Nangong issued a statement overnight, saying she has never taken any Disciples.】

【I've developed a condition where I laugh whenever I see the words 'pure Heart-Nature'.】

【I feel like Elder Jiang is about to break down.】

【Why does Old Devil Lu insist on bothering people in the Illusion Realm?】

...

When he died for the sixteenth time, Wei Chengfeng sighed.

"Little Friend Lu... has your Qi subsided a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze stopped his killing spree.

It was certainly enjoyable to farm Demonic Value, but if he continued, Jiang Lingfeng would probably withdraw from the Illusion Realm, preferring death over further humiliation.

As for killing Jiang Lingfeng in reality?

He could, but there was no need.

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao ultimately carried a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's will.

Each time the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao acted, when the other party had not committed acts of Heaven-Defying defiance or insulted the Heavenly Dao, it came at a cost.

The Jiang Lingfeng before him was guilty, but not to the extent of {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} death.

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao didn't need to needlessly expend its Dao power for such a person.

Of course, in the Illusion Realm, this guy was a lawless "god."

This was also why the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao was obsessed with playing the role of a killer in the Illusion Realm.

"It subsided long ago; this Junior is not such a petty person."

Lu Ze replied without batting an eyelid.

"It's just that I saw Old Man Jiang always consciously resurrecting in front of me, he must have felt guilty, and I couldn't bear to hurt Senior's feelings!"

"..."

Wei Chengfeng took a deep breath, trying hard to control his urge to swear.

Look at this, is this even human talk?

But upon careful recollection,

After repeating it four or five times, Lu Ze indeed hadn't said "again."

It was always Jiang Lingfeng who tactfully offered his neck...

"Then, Elder Jiang's punishment is not..."

Before Wei Chengfeng could finish his sentence, Lu Ze, beside him, opened his eyes in surprise.

"What? Does your sect still have an Elder named Jiang?"

Wei Chengfeng took another deep breath.

He glanced at the golden phantom behind Lu Ze.

A cold gaze swept over, making him feel an immediate surge of pressure.

"Little Friend Lu is right, this was my oversight."

Wei Chengfeng thought for a moment, then made a decision.

"Effective immediately, all of Jiang Lingfeng's rights in the Limitless Sword Sect are revoked, and he is to be confined to a Secret Realm for a year to reflect... how about that?"

"Agreed."

Lu Ze nodded.

Hearing this decision, Jiang Lingfeng looked at the two with utter despair.

Having already lost enough face by being wantonly slaughtered by a Junior in front of countless eyes;

Now, everything he had painstakingly worked for was about to be destroyed, and he immediately became anxious.

A surge of ruthlessness welled up from the depths of his heart, quickly overshadowing his fear of the Heavenly Dao.

"What kind of Heavenly Dao is this... a mere evil spirit, don't push your luck too far!!!"

Jiang Lingfeng, emboldened by his desperation, pointed at Lu Ze and the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao and cursed angrily.

"If you are truly the Heavenly Dao, why do you collude with Mortals and monopolize the Dao of the Illusion Realm!?"

This roar caused everyone present to pause.

After Wei Chengfeng's intervention and the appearance of the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao, the matter had become a sensation, known to all.

Not only were tens of thousands of people watching Lu Ze's live stream, but many also joined the Illusion Realm where Lu Ze was, watching the excitement live.

At this moment, Jiang Lingfeng's angry accusation indeed stirred up considerable controversy.

【What Elder Jiang said seems to make some sense... if it's the Heavenly Dao, why does it only supply Spiritual Qi to Old Devil Lu's Illusion Realm?】

【If it becomes a tool for a specific person... is it still the Heavenly Dao?】

【But that's no reason for him to cause trouble in 'eternal calamity'! His methods are too despicable!】

【To be fair, if Old Devil Lu's Illusion Realm is the standard, others probably can't even reach it...】

...

Facing Jiang Lingfeng's questioning, the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao let out a strange laugh.

"A mere ant, dares to question this Heavenly Dao!?"

"It's merely that the Illusion Realms you create are not worthy of this Heavenly Dao's attention!"

With that, the entire Illusion Realm space once again showed crack after crack.

"From now on, this Heavenly Dao shall control all Illusion Realms in the world..."

"Those who are subpar..."

"Bear the consequences yourselves!"

As a solemn voice, carrying immense pressure, boomed down, the entire Illusion Realm completely collapsed, shattering into nothingness.

...

Limitless Sword Sect, Illusion Sword Peak.

"Ah—!!!"

Beside Jiang Lingfeng, Du Cheng, who had already been stripped of his deacon status, clutched his head and let out a painful scream.

As the creator of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Du Cheng suffered extremely severe backlash after the Illusion Realm was crushed by the supreme power of the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

Jiang Lingfeng coldly watched Du Cheng, who was writhing in pain on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

Just then, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure from behind him.

He tremblingly turned his head, only to see a distorted mass of air.

"Ant..."

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's voice, carrying a hint of malevolence, rang in his ear.

"Dare to insult the Heavenly Dao..."

"Are you prepared for death?"
