It seems that by following the will of Heaven and slaying a primordial deity like Dijiang, there would be endless benefits.
However, these benefits are intangible, and the consequences will only be felt in future generations.
The executioner was just an ordinary high shaman, who was ignorant of divination and fortune, so naturally he knew nothing of these things.
At this moment, he was so frightened that he kept trembling, and the axe he was holding in his arms almost fell out.
After all, in his opinion, this Dijiang was far too ferocious. With just a glance, he had killed two sorcerer warriors of similar strength on the spot.
In this way, the other party can do the same to him.
What was most disheartening was that his own commander, the Grand Elder of the entire human race, not only did not punish Di Jiang when such a thing happened before his eyes, but remained completely indifferent.
This is what he fears most...
Chisongzi saw that the executioner was trembling like a leaf, and it seemed that he could not even lift the axe, let alone chop people.
He secretly shook his head and dismissed him, telling him to find another executioner to replace him.
The executioner, as if granted a pardon, rushed down from the loess platform to find a familiar executioner...
However, he probably doesn't realize just how much good fortune he missed this time...
Soon after, a burly executioner arrived carrying a sharp broadsword. He climbed onto the platform and bowed to Chisongzi.
Chisongzi nodded, told him to get up, and began to order him to carry out the execution.
After receiving the order, the executioner got up from the ground, dragged his broadsword, and walked behind Dijiang.
Whether Dijiang stood or knelt, it was just a matter of settling the score with one slash, so he naturally didn't cause any trouble. He raised his broadsword high and aimed it at the back of Dijiang's neck.
With a flash of cold light, the blade struck heavily between the bones of Dijiang's nape.
However, with a cracking sound, the long knife in the executioner's hand suddenly split open, and then turned into countless fragments that clattered and fell to the ground.
The executioner's arms drooped down limply like noodles.
As for Dijiang, the skin on the back of his neck remained smooth and flawless, without even a single knife mark.
Upon seeing this, Chisongzi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He had clearly forgotten that Dijiang was, after all, a primordial divine being, and ordinary magical artifacts and spiritual treasures could not possibly kill him.
He raised his hand and pointed at the executioner, whose arm injury immediately healed.
Dijiang looked at Chisongzi with a half-smile and said, "Chisongzi, why don't you personally see me off?"
Chisongzi shook his head without saying anything more, but drew his magic sword from his waist and handed it to the executioner.
"You may use this sword to kill him."
Upon hearing this, the executioner gripped his magic sword and viciously slashed at the back of Dijiang's neck.
With a soft "poof".
With a flash of sword light, Dijiang's head finally fell from his neck, rolling a few times on the ground.
The head, its eyes wide with rage, suddenly opened its mouth and shouted, "That was exhilarating!"
After shouting, he finally closed his eyes...
As for Dijiang's primordial spirit, it was also completely destroyed in that sword strike.
Dijiang was no ordinary great supernatural being. When he fell, the once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, thunder roared in succession, and a moment later, a torrential downpour began.
The rain, as red as fresh blood, quickly covered the earth, turning the entire vast land into a blood-red world.
Amidst the torrential rain of blood, a boy in green robes flew in from afar, carrying a paper umbrella, and landed on the high platform in the blink of an eye.
"You've come too, boy."
When Chisongzi saw the boy in blue arrive, he greeted him politely.
"Greetings, Elder." The boy in blue greeted him with a smile, then took out a seal.
The seal is adorned with a true dragon coiled around it, its radiant light soaring into the sky, and auspicious energy of merit rising forth, with the fortune of humanity flowing through the seal.
It is the Kongtong Seal, a treasure used by the human race to suppress destiny.
Originally, after Dijiang's fall, the rain of blood would continue for three days.
However, as soon as the Kongtong Seal appeared, auspicious light and auspicious energy instantly spread, filling every corner of the world.
The dark clouds scattered as soon as the auspicious light and auspicious energy swept through them, and the torrential rain of blood gradually stopped.
Suddenly the rain stopped and the clouds parted, and bright sunlight once again illuminated the earth, golden rays shining down upon all things in the universe...
On the high platform.
Just after the boy in green took out the Kongtong Seal, Dijiang's corpse suddenly began to convulse inexplicably.
An invisible force began to ripple within the corpse, then seeped out from its pores like wisps of smoke, converging towards the Kongtong Seal in the green-robed boy's hand.
Seeing this, Chisongzi, who was standing nearby, naturally understood what had happened.
The boy in green was merely activating the Kongtong Seal to reclaim the great fortune of humanity from Dijiang's body...
After the Kongtong Seal completely drained the human race's fortune from Dijiang's body, the boy in green nodded in satisfaction, greeted Chisongzi, and then left the high platform with the seal to report back to Hu Le.
After watching the boy in blue leave, Chisongzi glanced at Dijiang's corpse.
He sighed, flicked his finger, and released a burst of Samadhi Fire, which landed on the corpse.
With a loud bang.
The real fire blazed fiercely on the corpse, instantly transforming into a raging inferno.
A moment later, the flames died down, and Dijiang's body was reduced to ashes by the burning fire.
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, carrying the ashes far away and scattering them across the earth...
Chisongzi burned Dijiang's body not out of malice to destroy his physical form, but rather for Dijiang's own good.
After all, this is the physical body of a top-tier innate saint. Even if it is just a corpse, it is a treasure that everyone in the cultivation world would want.
His flesh and bones are filled with innate primordial energy. If the demonic path obtains it, it can completely devour it to improve its own cultivation.
The same method can be used to sew up this corpse and turn it into a puppet.
Even those Xuanmen Qi cultivators, after obtaining this physical body, can put it into the alchemy furnace to refine it, returning it to its original source and refining it into a ball of innate primordial energy.
At that time, one can either refine the primordial energy to replenish oneself or refine the primordial energy into a spiritual treasure or golden elixir.
It can be said that, whether righteous or demonic, Dijiang's physical body is a top-grade treasure.
If it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would likely be snatched up by countless cultivators...
Chisongzi immediately saved himself from all this trouble by burning the body.
He believed that even Dijiang himself probably wouldn't want his body to be misused and abused after his death.
Therefore, by burning the body, Chisongzi was actually helping Dijiang, ensuring that he wouldn't be restless even in death...
After completing all this, Chisongzi went to report back to Hu Le.
Coincidentally, Hu Le was also preparing to leave the army and return to the rear to oversee operations.
After everyone saw Hu Le off, Immortal Yuanfu and the others said that the mortal world was not a place for them to stay for long, and they all took their leave...
