"Alliance Leader, fall back quickly..."
Countless Tianwu Alliance experts charged at those otherworldly powerhouses with all their might, directly using self-destruction to cover Qu Jianying.
But there were too many otherworldly powerhouses nearby. Those warriors still charged forward despite the attacks. Ye Lingshan charged forward with all her might, but was bounced back. Seeing her master about to be overwhelmed by the army, her vision went black and she nearly fainted.
"Jian Ying..."
A broadsword swept across the sky, carrying endless killing power. With one strike, countless armies from another world were reduced to dust.
The old man had arrived, but he was still a step too late. Within that attack was the power of the divine path. Without the blessing of the Merit Stele, Qu Jianying's soul was shattered by the divine power and slowly collapsed.
"No..."
The old man hugged Qu Jianying tightly, crying out like a wild beast, calling her name repeatedly.
But Qu Jianying's soul had already vanished, and no matter how much he called out, he could never wake up.
"No... This isn't true. We agreed that after this battle, we'd get married.
Jianying, wake up, don't scare me. I'm not dead, how can you die... Ah.... The
old man cried out desperately, shaking Qu Jianying repeatedly, but Qu Jianying could no longer respond to her. His hoarse cries were exhausted, heartbreaking.
The two argued all their lives, missing the prime of their youth. After so many years of adjustment, they were finally preparing for marriage, but Qu Jianying could never wake up.
Usually, when they argue, the old man would be so angry his lungs would burst, but now, looking at Qu Jianying in his arms who could no longer speak, he wished she could come back to life. Even if it was him every day, he would feel happy.
"No..."
The old man howled in pain, moving listeners to sorrow and tears to their eyes. He had missed too much happiness in his life, and now he finally wanted to seize it, only to be mercilessly taken away. This was the cruelest punishment in the world.
"Old man, step back quickly. Our blessings are about to disappear as well."
Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and other powerful figures from the Kaitian Divine Sect fought desperately to protect the old man, but he was immersed in immense pain and couldn't hear anything.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void shattered. The Nether God's seal finally broke, and the figures of Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan had vanished; they had exhausted all their strength.
"Die, all of you!"
Ye Ming, the Nine-Headed Lion, and Moluo Tianxing roared as the three descended from the sky. Their divine power surged, and three beams of divine light carried endless destructive force, descending upon the powerful warriors of the Tianwu Continent. With this strike, everyone would be annihilated instantly.
"Long Chen, wake up quickly..."
For a moment, everyone was in despair. The power of the gods was unstoppable, and they could only watch helplessly wait for death. Mengqi turned to look at Long Chen and closed her eyes in pain.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a star barrier appeared in the void, and the three divine power attacks were actually deflected by the barrier.
The barrier was like a stretch of stars across the heavens, trembling and shattering eternity, making even the power of the divine path seem so weak before it.
"Long Chen!"
"Boss... Everyone
had already been in despair, but when they suddenly saw the star barrier and looked at Long Chen, he found he had already stood up.
His black robe fluttered without wind, countless stars swirling in his eyes, as if containing the entire universe. Standing there, it was as if the Nine Heavens God King had descended, carrying endless arrogance and dominance, making eternity submit and trembling across the heavens.
Long Chen woke up, at the most critical moment. When he woke up and looked around, he barely recognized this world.
Stars shimmered in his eyes, seemingly able to see through the past and future. Everything that happened on the battlefield slowly flooded into his mind.
The Five Emperors had disappeared. He saw the gaze full of longing in Emperor Hanwei's eyes, saw the guilt in Emperor Yunshang's eyes before leaving, and saw Yun Tian's resolve when he used his life to break the barrier.
Hu Feng's aura disappeared, Ling Yunzi's aura vanished, Li Tianxuan's aura vanished, and many familiar auras also vanished.
Looking at the old man in unbearable pain, then at the fierce foreign powerhouses outside, murderous intent surged in Long Chen's eyes.
"No, old man, are you crazy..."
Suddenly, Bao Buping slapped the old man's back with his palm. It turned out that the old man's blessing had vanished, and he had actually reversed his spiritual essence, attempting to kill himself. Bao Buping and everyone was shocked.
Long Chen came over too. Looking into the old man's eyes, Long Chen's nose tingled and tears streamed down uncontrollably. He saw a pair of eyes that no longer held back.
The old man looked at Long Chen and nodded, saying, "Good child, you're finally awake. There's hope for the Tianwu Continent."
Don't blame me, I can't wait to see you sweep through the demons of the outer domain. I'm going to accompany Jianying now, so don't stop me. "
No... Old man, you can't do this, we need you..." Chang Hao also cried, his voice pleading.
The old man shook his head, looked at Qu Jianying in his arms, gently stroked her cheek, and softly said, "
You've all grown up and don't need me anymore, but Jianying needs me."
You might not know that Jianying has been competitive all her life, but in reality, she is very timid, especially afraid of the dark.
Now that she is gone, alone on a dark path, she will feel lonely and afraid. I must go with her, to protect him.
If there is a next life, I am willing to be mute, obeying everything she says and never arguing with her. Whether right or wrong, what is there to argue about? And I had spent my whole life competing with her. After
saying this, the old man reversed the spiritual essence again. Bao Buping cried uncontrollably, his hand pressing on his back to stop him from taking his own life.
"Bastard, let go of me now, or it'll be too late." The old man roared angrily.
"Old man..."
Everyone was already sobbing uncontrollably. The old man was determined to die, and no one could change him.
"Good child, I've never begged anyone in my life, so just consider me begging you..." The old man looked at everyone and sighed.
Bao Buping trembled as he withdrew his hand and closed his eyes in pain. A relieved smile appeared on the old man's face, the fire of his soul slowly extinguished, and in the end, he left holding the one he loved most.
"No..."
Bao Buping, Chang Hao, Bao Ye, and the others burst into tears. Although they often bickered, their feelings were sincere. The old man's sudden departure was something they could not accept.
Long Chen's eyes brimmed with tears. The power of the stars circulated within him, capable of destroying heaven and earth, yet he couldn't save the old man. That deep sense of helplessness filled him with rage.
With a loud explosion, Ye Ming, the Nine-Headed Lion, and Moluo Tianxing joined forces to attack the knotThe entire world trembled violently.
Only then did people wake up from their pain; the battle was not over yet, and there was no time for sorrow.
"Let's go kill them and avenge the old man." Bao Buping roared, his eyes filled with hatred. He wished he could bite the invaders before him to death.
"Let me avenge this grudge."
Murderous intent surged in Long Chen's eyes. Suddenly, his figure flickered, and he had already left the barrier, just as the three attacked again.
"Die!"
Long Chen roared in fury, like thunder exploding in the sky. Stars surrounded him, myriad paths collapsed, and he smashed his fist down on the three of them.
