The expressions of Qi and Tian changed drastically as they called out. “Master!”
“Focus!” Tianqi Zongwei said coldly. “This is our last chance. Whether the Nine Profound Beast Palace could continue to exist depends on this attack. Don’t hold back.”
Qi and Tian forcibly suppressed the grief in their hearts and wholeheartedly concentrated on the formation.
“Kekeke… What a useless struggle. Why don’t all of you accept your death and obediently become this deity’s supplement? At least, you can be useful for once.” Jue Kong’s spine-chilling voice echoed in everyone’s mind.
“Everything has to thank this little brat. If you want to blame, you should blame him for occupying that bitch Tree of Life.”
“Bastard!” Yun Huanxin was furious when she heard this. She turned in Yun Ruanyu’s direction and asked. “Sister Ruanyu, do you have a way to wake Lintian up?… We are too careless. We should bring Princess Hongyue out with us.”
Yun Ruanyu turned to Iryena. “Can you contact the Tree of Life?”
“I tried,” Iryena replied in a helpless tone. “Lord Tree of Life has shut all the connections with the outside world.”
Yun Ruanyu went silent for a moment and let out a helpless sigh. “We can only hope Lintian will awake in time.”
Everyone said nothing more. Jue Kong’s profound strength was a world apart from theirs. They were nothing but mere ants under his feet.
“Matriarch…” Huoyun Zhu said worriedly.
Huoyun Yurou stared at Tianqi Zongwei, who was madly burning his Origin Blood and said. “Look like we’ve misunderstood him for all this time.”
She always thought Tianqi Zongwei was a selfish person. However, his actions today proved that he genuinely cared about living beings on this continent. He didn’t even hesitate to burn the last straw of his life in order to stop Jue Kong. This made her rethink everything in the past.
Huoyun Zhu raised her head to look at a tiny brilliant light like a small firefly in the dark sky and sighed softly. The deep hatred in her heart vanished entirely at this moment.
“I’ve lived long enough. I should contribute something to this world.” Huoyun Yurou suddenly said. A burst of crimson flame erupted within her body, turning her into a fiery figure.
“Matriarch!” Huoyun Zhu was shocked to the core. Huoyun Yurou had actually burned her Origin Blood and even her lifeforce.
“Remember to protect him well. If we manage to survive this catastrophe, you bring every one to follow him. Only him could protect our clan.” Huoyun Yurou’s calm voice resounded in Huoyun Zhu’s mind.
“… Yes,” Huoyun Zhu’s eyes were red. She had followed Huoyun Yurou since she was young. In a sense, Huoyun Yurou was like a mother to her.
“Don’t be sad. I’m about to reunite with my husband and son. You should be happy with me.” Huoyun Yurou’s eyes were like a torch, piercing the darkness and looking at Huoyun Zhu.
Huoyun Zhu had already choked on tears. She said with difficulty. “I wish you a pleasant journey, mother.”
Huoyun Yurou smiled gently and turned toward Jue Kong. Her eyes turned resolute as her figure shot out like a meteor, going straight at Jue Kong’s gigantic body.
Her lifeforce and Origin Blood were burned madly, and the crimson flame around her became brighter and brighter as she approached Jue Kong.
“Hmm?” Jue Kong glanced downward frowningly. “How foolish! Do you think you can hurt me with such a stupid move?”
He stretched his finger out and pointed at the incoming Huoyun Yurou. A black beam burst out and went straight at her.
Boom!
The black beam struck Huoyun Yurou’s body, but it didn’t prevent her from moving forward.
Jue Kong was surprised slightly. He was quickly aware of the seriousness of this matter. However, before he could do anything, Huoyun Yurou’s meteoric figure had already plunged into his skeletal body.
“Die!” Huoyun Yurou’s voice was filled with boundless killing intent as her body shone brightly before abruptly exploding out.
“You!” Jue Kong roared furiously and hurriedly created a profound defense, trying to limit Huoyun Yurou’s power.
RUMBLE—
A massive explosion burst out within Jue Kong’s body like a gigantic firework blooming in the night sky. A huge impact immediately spread thousands of kilometers away, like a giant tsunami.
Yun Lingwei and others hurriedly activated their defenses to withstand the impact. Although they didn’t see what was going on clearly, they could guess more or less that someone had just made a suicidal move.
Huoyun Zhu looked at the brilliant firework in the sky with two streaks of tears flowing along her wrinkled cheeks. “Don’t worry, mother. I will take care of everyone well.”
Her voice drifted along with a strong wind and disappeared into the darkness.
Meanwhile, Lang Moxie was shocked. His whole body trembled, and he lowered his head in shame. “Haha… What am I doing for all this time?”
Tianqi Zongwei glanced at the explosion for a while and let out a long sigh. “She’s a hero through and through, like Brother Huoyun. I’m ashamed I didn’t take care of her clan better in the past.” He took a deep breath and muttered. “Don’t worry. I’ll follow you soon, so you won’t be alone on the way.”
“Master.” Qi and Tian looked at their master as though they wanted to engrave his peerless appearance in their minds for the last time.
“It’s been hard on you all these years.” Tianqi Zongwei revealed a rare smile. “Let’s go.”
“Yes, Master!” Qi and Tian responded in unison. It was a bit wrong to say this, but to die with their master was the greatest honor of their life.
The next moment, their bodies slowly blended into the brilliant white radiance, transforming into a colossus sword of light that brightened the Western Continent’s sky.
Every living being on the continent involuntarily looked upward at the sword of light. Within it, they could feel hope—the hope that could blow all the darkness away.
“Sky Judgment Sword!”
The enormous sword of light dispersed all the dark clouds in the sky before descending down on Jue Kong like a ray of light from heaven.
Everyone was immediately blinded by the bright radiance. They involuntarily closed their eyes for a few breaths, waiting for something to happen. However, no sound or explosion could be heard. ｂ𝚍ｏｖ𝚕．𝚝
When they opened their eyes, the sky had returned to its original state.
“It’s over, right?” Someone said. Most people also held the same thinking in their minds.
A moment later, spine-chilling laughter abruptly resounded in everyone’s minds, causing them to fall into endless despair.
“Hah… Hah… Haha… Hahaha! Fortunately, this deity still has a trump card.”
