Seeking death?
Ye Zichen's fierce gaze swept over the immortals. When they met his gaze, they couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
The immortals who were more familiar with Ye Zichen were stunned by his rebuke.
As far as they knew, Ye Zichen wasn't someone with such a temperament.
"How I sentence them isn't up to you. All you need to do is watch from the sidelines."
Ye Zichen's words were cold and detached. As soon as he appeared, the immortals' hearts sank.
"Emperor Ye."
Some of the immortals couldn't help but speak up to plead for mercy. Although it was undeniable that all of them were traitors of the various realms, many of them had done so out of desperation.
However, there were also quite a number of people who were forced to do so, or for other reasons. They were not evil beyond redemption.
"Enough."
Ye Zichen's voice was tinged with anger. He looked coldly at the distant immortals and laughed inexplicably.
"You're still pleading for mercy on their behalf? These are the people who once stood against you with their swords? Then you really are kind, or should I say hypocritical?
Not long ago, they wanted to make you your mortal enemies. Now you want to plead for mercy on their behalf?
Being softhearted will only invite calamity upon you. There's no need to tell me that some of them were forced to do so, or that they were somehow related to you. In my eyes, they're all traitors. No matter how many reasons you have, you can't erase their betrayal.
From the moment they made that decision, they were no longer the family and friends you once were. "
The immortals didn't know what to say. Those who knew Ye Zichen found it even harder to believe such cold words would come from his mouth.
Indeed, this was far from Ye Zichen's usual temperament.
However, during his recent battle with the demons, he'd truly understood this principle.
No matter how much you backed down, no one would show you mercy or forgive you.
Take the heavenly lightning for example. Ye Zichen was on the verge of dissipating his spiritual energy, but did it stop?
No!
Spare them?
If not for their betrayal, the Immortal Region, Underworld, and Heavenly Court would have sent reinforcements to Dragon City.
If that were the case …. Would the result have been so tragic?
Even though these people weren't from the Xiao Family of the God Clan, their actions were no different from the Xiao Family's lightning.
If he let them go, would Keke come back to life?
If he let them go, would Su Yiyun come back to life?
If he let them go, would the Beast Region's Sacred Beast clan head and Hua Hai come back to life?
If he let them go, would those dead soldiers be able to come back to life?
For a moment, Ye Zichen's eyes reddened. There was no way he could face Keke and Su Yiyun's deaths with such indifference.
Nor could he be indifferent to the warriors who sacrificed their lives for this war.
No matter what their identities and statuses were, or what reason they had, they stood against the Three Realms.
A life had to be repaid with one's life.
These people would have to pay with their lives for those who had died.
After countless failed attempts to break the shackles, the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity gave up on the idea.
Emperor Ziwei's plea for leniency on his behalf was like a sharp thorn in his ears. His pride couldn't be trampled on by Emperor Ziwei.
Plead for mercy?
He didn't need it!
The Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity sneered when he saw Ziwei's troubled expression.
"Zi Wei, don't pretend to be righteous."
With that, his gaze landed on Ye Zichen and he snorted. "I did betray you. What can you do to me? If you have the means to kill us, then do it quickly. This emperor's dignity isn't something you can trample on. If all you're capable of is trapping me here, then given enough time, I'll definitely be able to break free. When that happens, I'll still be the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity. I'll still be the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity. I'll still be the supreme ruler everyone looks up to. "
Arrogant.
This was Ye Zichen's evaluation of the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity after their brief encounter.
Only someone with the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity's temperament could say such arrogant words at a time like this.
He was arrogant …
He was so arrogant that no one could enter his eyes.
If this kind of person was given enough time, he might really be able to stand at the peak of the myriad worlds.
But, unfortunately.
He didn't.
"All of you deserve to die."
He was very calm.
When Ye Zichen said this, his voice was as calm as autumn waters. He didn't specifically name anyone to judge. Instead, he sentenced them all to death.
The multicolored light condensing in the sky dissipated. In the blink of an eye, inky clouds covered the sky.
Dull thunder rumbled in the clouds. The remaining rebels didn't show much emotion as they looked at the thunderclouds in the sky.
"Lightning punishment, descend."
In truth, Ye Zichen had countless ways to end their lives, but he'd chosen to use heavenly lightning to destroy them.
He didn't even know why he'd chosen this method. Perhaps ….
Perhaps the lightning tribulation had inadvertently made him choose this method.
As soon as he spoke, countless purple lightning dragons descended from the clouds. Lightning dragons roared through the sky. The scene was so shocking that it left everyone dumbfounded.
The immortals watching from afar couldn't help but close their eyes in shock. As for the traitors who'd been preparing to face the lightning, their expressions were calm.
As they watched, Xia Yingqiu of the Dragon Race looked up and spread his arms.
He had no complaints about this death!
Boom!
Countless lightning dragons descended, giving rise to loud rumbles. However, the berserk power of lightning remained within the imprisonment of the traitors, constantly venting its might in the midst of the imprisonment.
After a long while.
When the lightning dragon in the confinement dissipated, the people who responded to the lightning had already fallen to the ground without the slightest trace of life.
When they saw this, the immortals couldn't help but feel pained. Even more than that, they sighed with regret. They had no way of criticizing Ye Zichen's decision. All they could say was ….
Those traitors had chosen the wrong path.
But very quickly, someone noticed that the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity was still standing proudly in the midst of the traitors who'd fallen like autumn wheat.
It wasn't that he'd withstood it; rather, the lightning hadn't descended on him at all.
"What do you want? Don't even think about humiliating me. All I want is death."
The Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity snorted defiantly. He raised his head proudly, as if nothing in the world could make him lower his proud head.
Off in the distance, the North Pole Emperor's eyes lit up. Could it be ….
"You want to die?"
Ye Zichen's gaze landed on the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity. When their gazes met, the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity didn't back down in the slightest.
Even more incredulous, the Heavenly Emperor of Supreme Polarity's gaze was disdainful.
"That's right. All I want is death!"
