Chapter 230
The Devouring Dao Law! Lucian suddenly thought of something, but since when could the Devouring Dao Law consume another person’s physique? Logically, it should only devour things like qi and blood.
Yet he could only think of this single possibility.
The Demons didn’t give him the chance to think further, they all charged forward at once.
Lucian couldn’t afford distraction either, facing so many powerhouses at the same realm simultaneously, he had to treat this with utmost seriousness.
Various divine abilities erupted in the sky.
The clash of so many Deity Realm experts had long since leveled this patch of land.
If it weren’t for the spiritual energy recovery reinforcing the Mysterious Yellow Great World’s environment, this entire area would have been reduced to nothingness.
Lucian spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated to the secret realm’s entrance alongside his three avatars.
He had been incredibly careful, but the enemy’s numbers were simply too great.
None of them were mediocre fighters either.
The Demon Race’s combat style heavily favored trading injuries for injuries, and their strikes were exceptionally ruthless.
The enemy had numbers, so taking injuries wasn’t an issue for them, but he was alone.
If he sustained heavy injuries, the impact would be far greater than on any of them.
With so many Demons appearing, why hasn’t the Heavenly Court noticed? Lucian’s expression was incredibly grave.
Do these people also possess treasures capable of masking the heavenly secrets? What exactly is going on?
First a secret tracking treasure, now a treasure that obscures the heavenly secrets.
These were incredibly precious artifacts.
On top of that, they had dispatched so many experts, to pay such a massive price, why was Cecilia so important to the Demon Race?
He fiercely unleashed a wave of sword qi, charging out again alongside his three avatars.
These Demons certainly weren’t going to give him answers.
Lucian clutched his shoulder, a blade gash so deep the bone was visible marred his flesh, blood instantly dyeing his robes red.
A heavy blow this time.
Damn it! He immediately sealed the wound with spiritual energy, Lucian’s face was terrifyingly grim.
If this continued, he wouldn’t hold on much longer.
Cecilia, you girl, why haven’t you come out yet?
...
Inside the Secret Realm.
Cecilia kept her eyes closed, her trembling eyelashes slowly calming.
In the dream, she had ordered the execution of that father and son, and finally, using the sword in her hand, slit her own throat.
This was her answer.
In this world, she could not allow any more innocent people to die tragic deaths.
The lives that father and son had given her, she would return to them.
She snapped her eyes open, brilliant golden divine light shot from her eyes.
The aura surrounding her body surged explosively.
Dazzling golden light enveloped her, and countless Dao patterns swirled around her as if cheering in joy, finally, the densely packed Dao patterns all fused into her body.
Cecilia’s aura climbed to its absolute peak.
The Peak of the First Heaven of the Deity Realm.
She had succeeded, she broke through to the First Heaven of the Deity Realm, she was now a true Heaven and Earth Deity.
Feeling the majestic power surging within her, she felt she could even put up a decent fight against her Master, Lucian.
Furthermore, her Dao Heart was incredibly firm.
Having resolved such an agonizing dilemma, she felt nothing in the future would stand in her way.
Cecilia slowly stood up, bowed slightly toward the faceless clay statue before her, and turned to walk out of the dilapidated little temple.
Just after she left, a transparent, miniature figure slowly materialized at the base of the clay statue, then climbed up to its head, watching Cecilia’s retreating back, it smiled and nodded.
Right and wrong in this world were actually quite simple, if someone committed a wrong, they had to pay the corresponding price.
The only questions were whether the person correcting the mistake harbored selfish motives, whether they dared issue the punishment, and whether they were willing to pay the price.
However, most people eventually made even worse decisions due to various complicated reasons.
If Cecilia had pretended not to see it, she was just a righteous heroine, not a government official.
It technically wasn’t her business.
If she spared the father and son seeking a clear conscience, those two would eventually destroy the family she had painstakingly built years later, and they would continue murdering even more people.
After all, evil always seemed to live the longest.
The entity was very satisfied with its chosen candidate.
If Cecilia had executed the father and son but chosen not to end her own life, the world going forward would lose even more good people.
Who would want to save someone if doing so might lead to their own execution? Even though that father and son were evil, many wouldn’t care about that detail.
No one could guarantee they themselves wouldn’t turn bad in the future.
She couldn’t even execute them personally, she had to have someone else do it.
In truth, the right or wrong didn’t matter to this entity, it only wanted to see the choice Cecilia would make, did she possess that level of decisiveness and resolve?
From the looks of it, she did, then I’ll give you a little reward.
The miniature figure stretched out a tiny hand and pointed toward the sky.
The massive heavenly tribulation faintly forming high in the clouds slowly dissipated.
Tribulation lightning tempering the body was nothing but a lie.
The current heavenly tribulations were manipulated by the Heavenly Court and completely useless, Cecilia didn’t need it at all.
As for those Demons outside, she didn’t need its help with them either, someone was already arriving to assist.
Cecilia was just about to step out of the secret realm, she looked up at the sky in confusion.
Where did the heavenly tribulation go? Throughout her cultivation journey, she had encountered heavenly tribulations at almost every major breakthrough, though she passed them all easily.
This time, she had felt a trace of genuine threat, yet it suddenly vanished.
This puzzled her, but she didn’t dwell on it, she took a step out of the secret realm.
