518 Destroy it All! (2/2)

Selene chortled while giving Surya's right shoulder a few pats. Though he desperately wished to resist the urge, as if possessed by his inner demons, Surya broke out of his secluded chambers and leaped into a macabre dance, butchering all disciples, deacons, protectors and elders that remained within the sect!

The closer he was to destroying the work of a lifetime, the more despair his heart sank into. But no matter how shredded and torn he felt, he couldn't stop.

”Father...no...”

One of Surya's sons stammered as Surya gouged out his heart. The scant few remaining elders rose to oppose him but were slaughtered in an instant. In desperation, the protectors attempted to trigger the defensive formations. But long before they could, Surya beheaded them all.

”Your Eminence, I beg you!”

Death!

”Uncle please spare me!”

Death!!

”Brother, what is wrong with you?!”

Death!!! Death!!! Death!!!

Wherever Surya went, the bloody whirlwind of death followed, sparing no one regardless of age or background. And as his macabre dance came to an end, Surya ironically broke through to the peak of the Legendary God Rank. But as his eyes swept the scene, swallowing this work of collapsed monuments, blood, and gore, Surya felt the world around him spun, and his heart rate rising to impossible heights.

”Hahahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!

My sect! Hahaha! My house! Hahahaha! My life! AAAAAAARGH!”

Surya snapped, roaring against the world in a maddened frenzy while clutching his head in desperation! Quivering, he dropped on his knees, and with tears filling his bloodshot eyes, raised one last look toward the vast, Celestial Sky.

”My...heaven...”

*BOOOM*

Surya could never finish his words. His heart ruptured and in a massive explosion of godly flames, he immolated himself, burning until only his Legendary God bones remained. The flames pierced Heaven's sky, alerting all throughout the Celestial World of the Primal Sun Sect's calamity. Before the flame pillar took shape, Konrad turned heels, and alongside Selene, vanished from site.

Now, from above, the two stared at the Primal Sun Sect's ruins.

Konrad stretched out his hands, draining and devouring the boundless energies of dread, hatred, grief, and ruin billowing from the desolated land. Again, he didn't directly refine it but stored it instead for his incoming seclusion.

”Not bad. I give you an A−.”

Konrad appraised with a serious-not-so-serious nod.
