Chapter 434: Sacrificing Life for Justice

Witnessing this, Mo Lanyun and Young Taoist Ming Yue felt overwhelming reverence and gratitude. Fang Lie was sacrificing himself to save them and millions of common families here!

A Seventh-rank large treasure weapon’s Self-Detonation actually surpassed the full-force strike of a Semi-Immortal. If detonated within the Space Channel, it would trigger spatial chaos and utterly destroy the entire passage!

Whether it was the Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship, Mo Lanyun’s Tianyi True Water Lake, or Ming Yue’s Blue Lotus – any could achieve this.

However, Mo Lanyun’s Tianyi True Water Lake held immense importance to her, while the Blue Lotus served as Ming Yue’s life treasure. Any damage would severely affect them both.

Only Fang Lie’s Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship counted as disposable. Even destroyed, it wouldn’t harm his cultivation – merely cause material loss.

Normally, fairness demanded drawing lots to decide the sacrifice. Yet Fang Lie unhesitatingly chose to immolate himself for others.

While protecting his junior sister Mo Lanyun made sense, Ming Yue remained an outsider. Fang Lie’s sacrifice for a mere promise defied description – even "ironclad honor" fell short.

Tears streamed down Ming Yue’s face as he choked out, "Senior Brother… I owe you everything!"

"Enough blubbering, kid!" Fang Lie roared with laughter, waving farewell.

Mo Lanyun hurled a Semi-Immortal sword talisman through her tears. Billions of Sword Energy erupted, obliterating all demons in Fang Lie’s path.

Fang Lie charged through the carnage into the Little Demon Chamber.

This bizarre Space Channel stretched endlessly black, devoid of direction or Spiritual Energy. Only demon hordes and turbulent spatial power surrounded him.

The chaotic spatial forces here proved merciless – stray demons got shredded by the whirling energy.

This environment rendered external attacks futile. Only the channel’s midpoint – the junction between worlds – held vulnerability.

Semi-Immortal treasure attacks from outside lost potency against the spatial walls. Surviving energy simply passed through harmlessly.

True destruction required penetrating the chamber’s heart and detonating there. Though temporary (lasting mere decades), this sufficed to save millions in the Small Thousand World.

Abruptly, Fang Lie reached a constricted zone – the channel narrowing to mere miles versus its usual hundred-mile girth.

He instantly recognized this pinch-point as the critical juncture between great family clans.

Stroking his Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship’s hull, Fang Lie sighed. His first treasured item would perish here. Annoying, but necessary.

Without hesitation, he commanded the Nascent Soul Furnaces into catastrophic overdrive, stockpiling Spiritual Energy without release.

The accumulating power peaked, then detonated catastrophically.

As a top-grade Seventh-rank warship, its dozens of supreme Nascent Soul Furnaces unleashed power exceeding any Semi-Immortal’s strike.

Fang Lie vanished in blinding light.

Outside, Mo Lanyun and Ming Yue watched white fury erupt from the chamber, annihilating everything in its wake and gouging an abyssal crater.

The sealed Little Demon Chamber ceased spewing demons and Demonic Energy, though spatial power still rippled from it.

"Such devastation!" Mo Lanyun gasped. "Who knew the warship’s Self-Detonation could…"

"It was a top-grade Seventh-rank vessel!" Ming Yue sighed. "Worth a mid-tier Eighth-rank Treasure. Mo Sect suffers heavy losses."

"The loss is Senior Brother’s alone," Mo Lanyun corrected. "Mo Sect didn’t lend it – he owned it outright. He sacrificed personal property to save us all."

"Ah, so that’s how it was~" Young Taoist Ming Yue exclaimed in surprise. "In that case, I must find a way to compensate him. I can’t let him suffer losses for saving me!"

"We’ll discuss this after escaping!" Mo Lanyun immediately responded. "Many scattered demons still rampage through the mortal realm. We can’t let senior brother’s death be in vain – we must exterminate them all!"

"Agreed!" Ming Yue shouted. "Let’s split up and thoroughly purge these scoundrels!"

With those words, the pair flew off in opposite directions, determined to eliminate every demon in the Small Thousand World.

Meanwhile, outsiders gaped in shock at Fang Lie’s ruthless decisiveness. He’d casually abandoned a top-grade Seventh-rank large treasure weapon worth cities of gold – what astonishing resolve!

Crucially, Fang Lie couldn’t truly die. Though losing a treasure, his gains proved immense.

He’d single-handedly reversed the desperate situation, saving millions of common families at the critical moment. Over eighty percent of the accrued merit would likely flow to him.

Such colossal merit would make Fang Lie a Heavenly Dao favored child. While remaining in this greater world, heaven’s protection would grant him monstrous cultivation progress and heaven-defying luck.

This alone made his losses worthwhile.

Notably – had Fang Lie truly lost anything? The answer remained unclear.

Seeing the situation stabilized, Mo Qianxun confronted Great Snow Mountain’s Elder without waiting for discussion: "Everyone, this operation was meant to be flawless. Yet two reckless fools caused half our disciples to perish, with treasures ruined. Shouldn’t Great Snow Mountain answer for this?"

"Justice is demanded! Our children died betrayed by Great Snow Mountain’s allies during what should’ve been united resistance against extramundane demons. This can’t be forgiven!"

"Exactly! Why should our disciples die pointlessly? We demand answers!"

"Answers!"

"Answers!"

The crowd roared furiously.

This operation proved catastrophic. Besides Mo Lanyun and Young Taoist Ming Yue, only three survived. Most victims fell to Silver Horn Demon Kings – entities that shouldn’t have appeared so early or numerously, had snow swordsman and Ao Jianzi not acted recklessly.

These aggrieved parties all had powerful backers. Facing such losses, even righteous cultivators seethed with anger. Yet none dared confront the formidable Sword God directly, venting instead on Great Snow Mountain’s Elder.

The beleaguered Elder protested weakly: "We violated no rules! Our Agreement only forbade Demon Blood Essence, not True Demon Blood!"

"Wordplay!" Mo Qianxun thundered. "Both attract demons! Must we list every forbidden item? There are thousands!"

"Precisely! Ancient grievances, blood-summoning charms, Demonic Path treasures – all lure demons. Listing them all would take years! You quibble over semantics!"

"You seek to evade responsibility! Know this – Ten-Thousand Gu Sect’s debts aren’t easily dismissed!"

"Great Thunder Sound Temple’s disciples won’t die unavenged!"

"Putuo Temple remembers!"

As threats mounted, the Elder panicked. While righteous sects showed restraint, evil faction cultivators grew increasingly vicious. United, they could overwhelm even Great Snow Mountain.

Desperate, the Elder turned to Sword God: "This concerns your faction too! What say you?"

All eyes shifted to Sword God. Though none dared accuse him openly, simmering resentment filled the air.

The Sword God sighed mournfully: "We…are victims too."

Bai Lian Chan Master snorted derisively: "Senior Brother, your grandson attacked Fang Lie first and died to divine skill counterattack. Frankly, he reaped what he sowed. Would you blame Mo Sect?"

"Exactly! That trash deserved death!"

"Lucky he died quickly – I’d have flayed him alive!"
