At the moment when the Sun Moon Empire's army was pressing on the border, the three western provinces of the original Star Luo Empire had already been completely occupied by Evil Soul Masters.
And in just this short one month, while Wang Chen was in seclusion comprehending the laws of rules,
The Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, relying on their powerful strength, had completely taken control of the entire population of the three provinces, turning them into a nation belonging to the Evil Soul Masters.
Here, apart from the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, everyone else was an inferior being, even to the point of being livestock raised for the Evil Soul Masters to cultivate with.
No dignity, no guarantee of life. They could be killed by an Evil Soul Master at any moment to be used for cultivation.
Because the Holy Spirit Cult had suffered considerable losses a month ago in the great battle against the Shrek allied forces in Star Luo City, after seizing the three provinces of the Star Luo Empire, they immediately began finding ways to make up for their losses.
An Evil Soul Master Elder who was a Title Douluo and had luckily survived the battle in Star Luo City proposed to kill everyone over fifty years old in the three provinces.
He beautifully phrased it as: those old things over fifty had lost their reproductive ability and could no longer provide fresh lives for the Holy Spirit Cult in the future.
Moreover, they were old and frail, had lost their ability to work, and keeping them alive was simply a waste of food and resources.
Instead of wasting resources, it was better to make use of the waste—kill them directly and use their flesh, blood, and souls to help low- and mid-level Evil Soul Masters cultivate, allowing the younger Evil Soul Masters to grow faster.
The person who proposed could only be described in four words: worse than a beast.
Yet such a bloody, cruel, and inhumane proposal not only met no opposition but was strongly supported by many powerful Evil Soul Masters.
Clearly, in the eyes of these Evil Soul Masters who had lost all humanity, the lives of ordinary people were not lives at all, but cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered—slaughtered to fill their bellies.
As a result, the three western provinces of the Star Luo Empire were filled everywhere with miserable wails and cries, turning into a living hell on earth.
…
Qingyang City, once a prosperous border city, now had streets filled with the foul stench of blood.
In the central square of the city, hundreds of shriveled corpses were hung upside down on iron frames, swaying in the wind like dried cured meat.
These people were all those who had bravely resisted the Evil Soul Masters when the Holy Spirit Cult invaded, but because their strength was insufficient, they were all killed by the Evil Soul Masters.
To make the others fear and be too afraid to resist their rule, the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult cruelly drained these resisters of their blood, hollowed out their internal organs, and hung them upside down on iron frames in mid-air to sway with the wind.
Other than the beast-worse Evil Soul Masters, any normal person who saw such a scene could not help but feel fear, dread, as well as deep hatred and endless anger.
But because the strength of the Evil Soul Masters was simply too great, they were completely unable to resist the rule of the Evil Soul Masters, so they could only bury their hatred and anger deep in their hearts.
High in the sky above Qingyang City, a middle-aged man wearing a gold-trimmed black robe and whose cultivation had reached the Soul Sage realm looked down upon the entire city with his strange purplish-red eyes, then used his soul power to transmit his voice.
"Move faster! The Elder has ordered that within three days, everyone in the city over fifty years old must be completely killed!
Also, the flesh and blood can be devoured, but the souls must be collected.
If anyone dares to privately devour souls, don't blame this seat for being ruthless!
If any of you little brats think you can hide it from these soul-probing eyes of mine, feel free to try!"
Hearing the black-robed middle-aged man speak, all the Evil Soul Masters in Qingyang City hurriedly replied.
"Deacon, sir! It won't take three days—one day is enough."
"Deacon, rest assured. If anyone dares to privately devour souls, I, Zhang San, will immediately kill that greedy little brat."
"…"
After the many mid- and low-level Evil Soul Masters responded, they began carrying out the task given by the Elder above—wiping out everyone over fifty years old.
A white-robed Evil Soul Master whose cultivation was at the Soul King realm brazenly broke into a house, then kicked open the bedroom door with one foot.
He immediately found a white-haired old man. The moment the old man saw the Evil Soul Master barge in, he knelt and kowtowed.
"Old thing, kowtowing is useless. Die!"
Looking at the old man kneeling on the ground, the white-robed Evil Soul Master's withered fingers directly pierced into the other's chest. "To die for the Holy Cult is your honor!"
Amidst a shrill scream, the old man's skin visibly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into a wrinkled, dry corpse.
Hearing the scream, a tall middle-aged man rushed out from the next room. Seeing his father killed, his eyes widened in rage.
He immediately grabbed the long knife at his waist in fury and roared, "Beast! Beast! I'll fight you to the death!"
However, although the man was tall and strong, unfortunately, he possessed no soul power—he was just an ordinary person. How could he be a match for an Evil Soul Master at the Soul King level?
The white-robed Evil Soul Master looked at the livestock that dared to resist him and revealed a cruel smile.
Then, with a casual slap, the powerful palm wind shattered the blade and struck heavily on the tall man's chest.
The palm carrying soul power directly exploded the middle-aged man. In an instant, red and white splattered in all directions, staining the entire ground red.
The white-robed Evil Soul Master licked the remaining blood on his fingertips, then turned to look at a mother and daughter huddled not far from the door, trembling all over and sitting paralyzed on the ground, holding each other. He sized them up and said:
"Young, in the future, you'll probably be able to provide fresh lives for the Holy Spirit Cult every year. Truly wonderful.
We, Evil Soul Masters, finally have our own country. Finally, we can kill without restraint!! Hahahaha!!"
Laughing maniacally, the white-robed Evil Soul Master took the soul and went to the next house.
Only after the devil left did the pitiful mother and daughter finally break down and wail.
"Grandpa… Dad… wuuuu…"
"Heavens! Open your eyes and look! Why do you let these beasts, worse than animals, live in this world!!"
Similar scenes played out endlessly in every city across the three provinces.
Just when countless people were in despair, rage, and powerless—
Above the sky of the Star Luo Empire's capital, a silver-white vortex quietly appeared.
Then, a tall man with eyes as deep as the starry sky, resembling a god, stepped out from the vortex.
The moment he emerged from the spatial passage, Wang Chen looked down and discovered that the capital of Star Luo City had actually turned into complete ruins, without even a single human shadow.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen couldn't help but frown.
Immediately after, he waved his hand, and the laws of time surged around his body.
Relying on the mighty power of the time laws, the past time of Star Luo City turned into images that quickly appeared before Wang Chen's eyes.
A moment later, the images dissipated. Through time regression, Wang Chen understood why Star Luo City had become ruins.
Wang Chen's gaze turned sharp. "The Holy Spirit Cult actually came to the Star Luo Empire. No wonder I didn't find them in the Sun Moon Empire.
After so long, it's time to settle the old scores!"
