Chapter 693: The Evil of the Heart

The laws collapsed, and the Great Dao crumbled.

This was the commotion occurring within the Wudao Gong, caused by Li Heng hunting and harvesting Source Power and clashing with those prey. However, this kind of commotion did not involve Source Power or large-scale Great Void Power, so it could not shake the Wudao Gong in the slightest.

The artifact spirit could monitor everything inside the Wudao Gong, and as it watched Li Heng fight those Menial Servants of the palace, it could not help but feel strange and astonished.

What is going on? Why is a powerhouse like Li Heng still trading blows back and forth with these tiny Menial Servants of the palace? Shouldn't a powerhouse of this level be able to kill these Menial Servants in seconds with ease?

Just a moment ago, when Li Heng asked him for a list of evildoers, he had assumed it was because of Li Heng's hatred-of-evil personality, wanting to kill all the evildoers in the world; he could still understand that point a little.

But now, he was completely unable to understand.

Or could it be that Li Heng is not as strong as he imagined? Were those attacks that broke the palace gate and pierced through the maze all hidden trump cards of this Li Heng, and in reality, he is limited?

The artifact spirit's Light Orb became somewhat disordered, and fluctuations appeared.

If that were truly the case, then he would be too embarrassed.

After all, he had truly believed just now that Li Heng was his master, a powerhouse of that level, and had been incomparably respectful, even telling him everything he knew; how could he have imagined that he was just an ant like a Menial Servant of the palace?

Should he now make a move to test him slightly?

Amidst some doubt and annoyance, a thought popped up in the artifact spirit, but before he could put it into action, he felt in the dark that a terrifying shadow was pressing down on him, appearing to be boundless death and silence; once he did this, he would surely fall!

He was instantly horrified and sobered up.

What was he thinking? How could he make a move against this Li Heng? Not to mention that this Li Heng might just be appearing weak on the surface, fishing. Even if this Li Heng were truly weak, just based on that fireball and that punch from before, he could not afford to provoke him.

Who knows what forces or elder brothers this Li Heng has behind him?

Meanwhile, Li Heng also appeared to have a bit of a headache.

He had been using Source Power to crush his opponents just now, forgetting that his actual cultivation was still only at the initial Hongdao Level. In terms of strength, the few evildoers he had locked onto were not weaker than him, which is why it had now become a back-and-forth struggle, and they were not killed by him in a single strike.

"This senior, why are you attacking us?"

A creature surrounded by Magic Qi stood out and asked in confusion. They had seen Li Heng suddenly attack them and thought they were dead for sure. After all, this was an existence that could punch through a palace; how could they possibly be a match for him?

But why could they trade blows back and forth now?

Could this senior be toying with them?

"Why I am attacking you, don't you have any idea in your hearts? Look at the auras blooming around you: Magic Qi, Demon Qi, resentment, murderous intent, and bloodthirst."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and spoke listlessly.

He was thinking that he might as well finish this quickly. That Wudao Gong artifact spirit was clearly very smart and was not taking his bait.

"Is the senior carrying out what is called 'acting on behalf of Heaven'?"

These people were shocked; they hadn't thought of this answer at all.

"What, is this reason not good enough?"

Li Heng said calmly.

"This is too absurd. Once we reach our realm, how can there be any distinction between good and evil? The Great Void does not target us, does it?"

The Magic Qi creature said aggrievedly; this was simply an unprovoked disaster.

"That's right, if it's just this reason, why should the senior kill us? We can be great good, and we can also be great evil!" A demon surrounded by wronged souls stood out and said, and then a bubble slowly rose from his palm.

This bubble was a vast and boundless universe, and in just an instant, countless creatures and civilizations were born, with countless sparks of civilization bursting forth. Then, the next moment, the demon pinched the bubble, and it shattered; the universe collapsed, and all creatures and civilizations were destroyed in an instant.

"Senior, look. We can control creation, and we can also control destruction. In the Creation Realm, even creators can transcend good and evil, let alone us who are above creators?"

The others nodded; this was supposed to be a matter of course.

"Do you think I am arguing sophistry?"

Li Heng narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"We dare not, but I think this kind of reason is truly nonsense. For example, when I was fighting the senior just now, the aftermath destroyed infinite Great Thousand Worlds; what does that count as? Giving birth to infinite Great Thousand Worlds is great good, and destroying infinite Great Thousand Worlds is great evil?"

The Magic Qi creature said.

Li Heng laughed.

"What you all say is very correct. But you have forgotten one point, and that is that the examples you cited all stem from your power. But what if there were no power?"

"Take you, for example. I glimpsed the Causality behind you. Your original origin was just an ordinary human, with very mediocre aptitude. In the first half of your life, you married a normal wife and had a son. But this son had better talent than you, even a Second Heaven Dao Body, and then you ate your son to achieve yourself. Do you think this behavior is good or evil? Is your heart good or evil?"

The people before him were suddenly silent.

However, the Magic Qi creature directly retorted.

"So what? Good comes in sizes, and evil also comes in sizes. I ate my son to enter the Dao back then, which according to the senior's point of view is indeed evil. But what if I resurrect my son now and let him ascend to the heavens in one step?"

The Magic Qi creature waved his hand, and a boundless River of Time, where a single drop of water was an infinite multiverse, appeared.

This was the origin he had hidden to prevent others from glimpsing his background. But now that it had already been spoken of by this senior, there was no need to hide it.

Then, he pulled a creature out of this River of Time; it was the very son he had eaten into his mouth back then, and his aura climbed steadily, reaching the Sacred Realm in an instant.

"Xiaohuan, do you hate your father?"

The Magic Qi creature looked at his son and said calmly.

This Xiaohuan seemed to understand everything in an instant and spoke.

"I do not hate you; after all, Father's path to proving the Dao is more important."

The Magic Qi creature laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"Senior, do you see? My son has already forgiven me, and compared to the great good of me resurrecting my son at this moment and letting him prove the Sacred Dao, the small evil of me eating him back then is not worth mentioning!"

Li Heng lowered his eyelids and spoke calmly.

"Do you still think so?"

"It seems you really didn't understand."

"But never mind, you can just consider me double-standard and hypocritical. After all, our fundamental concepts are different, and our paths are not the same; when can good and evil ever cancel each other out? Not to mention that you are the evil of the heart, and your actions are the beginning of Causality."

Li Heng sighed leisurely and threw a punch.

He still did not use Source Power; after all, no matter how much Source Power he had, it could not withstand casual consumption. Anyway, in terms of combat power, he still had the upper hand; as long as there was enough time, the scales of Victory would tilt toward him.

Just consider it a test of his own ability to withstand pressure.

Sure enough, as time gradually passed, one great evil creature after another was blasted to death by Li Heng, punch after punch, and the sensation of Source Power arriving in his mind never ceased.

Finally, only that Magic Qi creature remained.

The Magic Qi creature was still very aggrieved; it was one thing for this Gong Dian to trap him, as it was his own greed that had led him to enter this Gong Dian in the first place. But now, why did this senior, whom he did not know at all and had never provoked before, also want to kill him?

Didn't he just treat the Multiverse as a snack on ordinary days? Why should he have to pay with his life for such a minor evil? He was beyond good and evil.

"Senior, can you tell me why?"

The Magic Qi creature still asked in confusion as he faced death.

"Because I believe you must die."

Li Heng answered calmly and threw a punch, and the Magic Qi creature disintegrated accordingly; at this moment, the Golden Source Point had also reached as many as thirty million...
