Chapter 605: Heaven's Way Is Unjust

"Qian Jueshan, you've really gone crazy!"

Xu Yanzhi spoke out with a horrified expression.

"Master, don't!" Ying Wuji's voice came, hysterical.

Qian Jueshan tilted his head; his icy eyes, when looking toward Ying Wuji, held a gentle smile, yet he left no words, determined to self-detonate.

Upon realizing Qian Jueshan was about to self-detonate, the Demon Emperor Xie Bu Xi and the mysterious demon tribe immediately chose to retreat, to avoid being dragged down to hell by Qian Jueshan.

At this moment, Qian Jueshan gripped his sword with one hand, piercing Xu Yanzhi's chest, and with the other hand tightly clutched Xu Yanzhi's neck.

"Immortal Lord, no!" The other Immortal Venerables, seeing this, all urged him to stop.

Qian Jueshan had made up his mind.

Regarding his past life, although he had no memory, based on what Ying Wuji described, as long as he eliminated Xu Yanzhi and Lu Xiangxiang, a turning point would appear, and everyone's fate could be changed!

An overwhelming, terrifying power surged within Qian Jueshan, his eyes turned crimson, his skin began to crack, and blood started to seep out.

In a daze, Qian Jueshan recalled the scene of six children playing noisily on his knees.

More blood welled from the corner of his mouth, yet he smiled.

"Master, don't abandon us!" Ying Wuji swung his sword repeatedly at the Buddhist Bell Shield, shouting with tears and voice.

The Immortal Venerables also desperately tried to break through this layer of Buddhist Bell Shield.

A blinding burst of light erupted from Qian Jueshan's body, accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion!

Boom!

…

At this moment, Infinite Island.

Yuan Yao had just sealed the entrance between Infinite Island and the demon realm when suddenly she felt a palpitation, her right eyelid twitched nonstop, and her breathing became disordered.

She raised a hand to cover her chest, as if sensing something; her breath hitched, and tears silently slid from her eyes.

"Master's Life-Saving Talisman..."

"Gone..."

Her voice trembled, filled with panic.

At the same moment, Cang Li and Song Yan also felt it. The Life-Saving Talisman the Master had placed on them silently shattered at that very instant, its spiritual power drained.

The two locked eyes, each seeing shock and dread in the other's gaze.

Without hesitation, they rushed toward where Yuan Yao was.

By the time they arrived,

All they saw was Yuan Yao, dazed and trembling, frantically tossing message talismans into the air.

Those talismans bearing her last hope sank like stones in the sea, one after another being returned and falling onto the cold ground.

"Yao Yao!"

Cang Li and Song Yan hurried forward, knelt, and tightly grasped Yuan Yao's icy, trembling hands.

Cang Li forced composure, his voice barely trembling: "Yao Yao, stay calm; the Master is blessed by heaven, he'll be fine!"

"Right, I'll send a message to Wuji right now!" Cang Li, clutching at a last straw, quickly took out a message talisman, flicked his fingertip, and sent a message to Ying Wuji.

However, as time ticked by, there was still no response from Ying Wuji's side.

Cang Li gritted his teeth, trembling hand, and sent another message talisman to Cang Conghuan.

This time, the message talisman almost immediately received a reply.

— A Li, Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord… he chose to self-detonate, perishing together with that traitor Xu Yanzhi.

A single line of text, yet it thundered like a bolt from the blue in Cang Li's mind.

His pupils constricted, all color drained from his face, filled with disbelief: "No… impossible…."

"This is absolutely impossible!" He sprang to his feet, voice hoarse, eyes wild: "I'm heading to the First Continent right now! I must find the Master!"

"A Li!" Song Yan grabbed him, then opened his arms, tightly embracing the near-collapsing Yuan Yao and Cang Li.

Scalding tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes, dripping onto their shoulders, carrying a searing heat and endless sorrow.

He exerted all his strength, suppressing the lump in his throat, his voice hoarse yet firm: "A Li, Yao Yao, hold on! We must hold on!"

Held tightly by Song Yan, Cang Li's resolve collapsed instantly, pent-up sorrow bursting forth like a breached dam, and he broke into loud sobs.

Just then, Song Yan keenly sensed that Yuan Yao's body in his arms stiffened, her breath instantly grew extremely weak, and a more dreadful premonition seized his heart.

He lowered his gaze.

All he saw was Yuan Yao, as if her soul had been sucked away, leaving only an empty shell, her face streaked with tears, utterly still.

"Yao Yao, Yao Yao…" Song Yan cupped her cheeks, calling out urgently.

Cang Li also noticed Yuan Yao's condition, he tightly grasped her hand, his voice choked with tears: "Yao Yao, don't scare us!"

"Yao Yao, look at me!"

"Look at me now!"

"Yao Yao!"

Yuan Yao's mind went blank at this moment, automatically blocking out all external information, her body and instinctively trying to forget the news of the Master's self-detonation.

【Host, wake up! The System has detected that the male lead is not dead; Qian Jueshan only destroyed his avatar.】

Yuan Yao suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha…"

She laughed maniacally, tears streaming wildly, her whole body twitching uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Song Yan and Cang Li's faces froze in shock, their eyes filled with worry as they stared at Yuan Yao.

They tightly embraced Yuan Yao.

"Yao Yao, don't scare us!"

The commotion here quickly attracted the heavenly pride of the three clans and the human cultivators, who, upon seeing Yuan Yao in such a state, wore expressions of disbelief.

How could they have ever seen Yuan Yao so disheveled, desperate, and mad!

"What happened?!!" Xie Ying asked anxiously.

Yuan Yao violently broke free from Song Yan and Cang Li's embrace, she lifted her head and stared fixedly at the sky, as if trying to see what lay beyond the heavenly canopy.

"Heaven is unjust!"

"Why? Why—"

Her master resolutely went to his death, yet the one killed was merely the male lead's clone!

"If that's the case, then I'll kill the Son of Heaven's Fortune!"

"I want you all to pay for my master's life!"

"I will make this heaven bow before me!"

In an instant—

Boom!

The sky suddenly changed; amidst rolling black clouds, thunder flashed and roared, an unprecedented pressure seeming to crush the entire Boundless Island to dust.

"The heavens seem to have been enraged!"

Waves surged across the sea surface!

All beings felt an immense, terrifying pressure.

And the one bearing the brunt was Yuan Yao; countless pressures seemed to shatter her heavenly crown, yet she remained ramrod straight, blood frothing at the corners of her mouth.

"Host, host! Calm down!" the 250 System warned, having detected that heavenly thunder punishment was about to fall, and hurriedly advised.

Yuan Yao said in an icy tone: "I ask you, are you on my side, or on its side?"

The 250 System remained silent for three seconds.

"Host, 250 is willing to oppose this world's Heavenly Dao for you; go ahead and do it—I will bear all consequences."
