Chapter 3195: Never Had to Bow Down
Many Emperor experts of the medium chiliocosm were moved when they saw the Sanguine Ape World Lord and the fat and skinny old men sacrifice themselves one after another to kill Ombudsman Angel Mystic Heaven.
These heroic acts of self-sacrifice made their hearts that had long been calm ripple.
The blood in the bodies of many Emperors seemed to have turned hot.
Some Emperor experts clenched their fists instinctively.
Some Emperor experts took a step forward, as though they wanted to do something.
Suddenly, an Emperor expert said, “Actually, if not for Great Emperor Desolate Martial and Great Empress Blood b.u.t.terfly in this generation, we wouldn’t have been able to stay out of this and would have been forced to partake in this battle between the heavens and earth.”
Throughout history, it had been the same in the Heaven Conquest Battles.
Even if they wanted to stay out of it, the Heavenly Court would force them to take sides and choose!
It was the same in this generation.
Initially, they only had two outcomes.
They could either be forced by the Heavenly Court to fight against the h.e.l.l and Asura Armies…
Or they would be refined by the Lord of the Netherworld and turned into tombs.
Another Emperor sighed. “Actually, it was this group of people from the Sword World, Sanguine Ape World, Great Wilderness World, Kun Peng World and Tianhuang World who shouldered everything for us.”
Initially, this was a chaos that swept through the medium chiliocosm and affected all living beings of the ten thousand races.
However, at that moment, the Emperor experts of the Sword World and Tianhuang World blocked the Heavenly Court Army for the living beings of the medium chiliocosm and the ten thousand races!
It was also because of this that they had the choice and opportunity to stay out of it.
An Emperor looked up in the direction of the Heavenly Court with a guilty expression and murmured softly, “Great Emperor Desolate Martial established a Dao and imparted it while protecting all living beings. Now, he and Great Empress Blood b.u.t.terfly are fighting against a few Lords of the Heavenly Court with their fates unknown. All of it is to break the shackles that have bound us for countless years. Yet, what about us? What are we doing?”
“We’re just watching and waiting.”
“We want to wait for the outcome of the battle of the Heavenly Court to be decided before making a choice.”
“If the Heavenly Court wins, we can avoid being implicated and drawn into a calamity.”
“If the Heavenly Court loses, we can naturally ascend to the major chiliocosm as well…”
That was the thought of most Emperor experts. However, at that moment, it was said blatantly.
The Emperor smiled. “We’re just a little selfish. It’s understandable and there’s no one to be blamed. After all, no one wants to die.”
Pausing for a moment, the Emperor expert retracted his smile and asked, “However, let’s ask ourselves honestly. If the Heavenly Court wins in the end, can we really live with a clear conscience?”
“If the Heavenly Court loses, can we really ascend to the major chiliocosm without any regrets?”
Many Emperors were silent.
However, some people seemed like they had already made their decisions.
The battlefield of Tianhuang World was even more dangerous than the Sword World!
The Sword World no longer had to deal with Ombudsman Angel Mystic Heaven, but the Young Master of Mystic Heaven was still on the side of Tianhuang World!
Even though Su Zimo held back 50-odd Emperor experts, there were still around 700 Emperors left in the Heavenly Court. Tianhuang World could not defend against them at all!
Peak Emperors relied on their perfected worlds. Even if they could not fight their enemies and were severely injured, it was difficult for them to die immediately.
The lives of supreme Emperors would only be in danger if they were dealing with peak Emperors.
However, in an Emperor Battle of this scale, it was impossible for ordinary Emperor experts to be unscathed and they suffered the greatest casualties!
The number of casualties of ordinary Emperors in Tianhuang World was rising rapidly!
On the other side, with the cooperation of the Young Master of Mystic Heaven and the 50-odd Emperors of the Heavenly Court, they had already surrounded Su Zimo in a void with no way out!
The two parties were extremely close and could kill Su Zimo on the spot with a single order from the Young Master of Mystic Heaven!
Right then, a tragic cry sounded from the direction of Tianhuang World!
As though he sensed something, Su Zimo’s heart seemed to have suddenly constricted. It was as though it was grabbed by a pair of invisible hands, making him unable to breathe.
He suddenly turned around and looked over.
On the chaotic battlefield of Tianhuang World, a bloodied figure was pierced through the chest and sent flying heavily. His lifeforce dissipated and his Essence Spirit dimmed—he could no longer survive!
Su Zimo’s mind exploded and he was stunned. His lips trembled slightly as he murmured, “Human Monarch…”
“Hubby!”
In Tianhuang World, Immortal Queen Ling Long’s eyes were red from crying. She called out and charged out of the formation of Tianhuang World recklessly.
Feng Cantian, Lin Xuanji and the others stepped in hurriedly. However, they could not stop Immortal Queen Ling Long. She executed the Nine Palace Subtle Steps and pa.s.sed through in a flash, charging towards the battlefield where the Emperors were fighting!
Ling Long was only at the Immortal King realm. Entering the Emperor realm battlefield was almost equivalent to committing suicide.
The remnant power released by any Emperor expert could kill her.
However, at that moment, she seemed to have forgotten about the danger.
There was only one person in her eyes.
“Father, Mother!”
Lin Lei’s eyes were filled with tears as he wanted to rush out as well. However, he was held back by Feng Cantian!
Lin Luo was stopped by Lin Xuanji as well.
Feng Cantian’s face was pale as he clenched his fists. His body trembled uncontrollably and he was extremely sad.
He had been acquainted with Lin Zhan since they were in Tianhuang Mainland and had fought side by side countless times.
Up till this point of their ascension, Lin Zhan was his best brother and had an irreplaceable status in his heart!
Earlier on, he even wanted to rush out like Immortal Queen Ling Long and run to Lin Zhan’s side.
He wanted to die together with Lin Zhan!
However, Lin Zhan looked over and shook his head gently before looking at Lin Lei and Lin Luo.
At that moment, Feng Cantian suddenly calmed down.
There was no need for them to speak to understand each other’s intentions.
Lin Zhan was worried about Lin Lei and Lin Luo.
Feng Cantian could only endure the pain in his heart and hold Lin Lei down tightly, protecting him from leaving Tianhuang World.
At the side, Lin Luo looked at her mother’s departing figure and cried silently, her face already filled with tears.
She knew that her mother had not forgotten about the danger.
Although her mother knew that heading out was dangerous, it was because she had no intention of continuing to live!
Her mother wanted to die together with her father!
Immortal Queen Ling Long rushed to the Emperor realm battlefield without hesitation and hugged the injured Lin Zhan tightly, her eyes filled with heartache and reluctance.
“W-Why did you come out? It’s so dangerous.”
Lin Zhan looked at Immortal Queen Ling Long tenderly. As he spoke, blood flowed from his mouth.
The blood was blindingly red.
“Didn’t you promise me that you would come back?”
Immortal Queen Ling Long felt the person in her arms become colder and colder. She hugged Lin Zhan’s arms even harder and cried as she asked.
“Ling Long, I… can’t continue on this path… with you…”
Lin Zhan sighed and his aura became weaker.
At the same time, the Young Master of Mystic Heaven waved his hand and gave the order. 50 Emperor experts attacked at the same time, wanting to kill Su Zimo completely!
However, their attacks came to nothing when they landed on Su Zimo!
Su Zimo seemed to have vanished from the spot and entered the void, entering an extremely strange state.
It was his Void state!
Many Emperor experts had never seen such a method and were slightly stunned.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Zimo released Combating Past and Present and burned his lifespan, pus.h.i.+ng his strength to its limits as he rushed in the direction of Tianhuang World!
There were ten peak Emperors guarding in ten directions around him.
Su Zimo disregarded everything and released his Bloodline Phenomenon, five Grotto-heavens and all his trump cards, charging over!
Boom!
A peak Emperor of the Heavenly Court attacked and shattered Su Zimo’s five Grotto-heavens almost instantly!
The Bloodline Phenomenon was shattered as well.
The Combat Soul that was 100,000 feet tall swayed violently and dissipated before long.
“Pfft!”
Su Zimo was severely injured as well and spat out a mouthful of blood. His green robes on his back were torn, revealing a gigantic palm print that was surrounded by mangled flesh and blood.
As though he did not notice anything, Su Zimo broke through the encirclement with reddened eyes and burned his lifespan at the price of serious injuries, speeding towards Tianhuang World!
He was the Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus!
Perhaps he could save the Human Monarch with his blood!
When he saw that, the Young Master of Mystic Heaven sneered.
Although Su Zimo charged out of his encirclement, he was severely injured and was at the end of his rope.
If they caught up, Su Zimo would not be able to hold on for long.
In a flash, the Young Master of Mystic Heaven followed closely behind with the 50-odd Emperor experts.
“Brother Lin!”
Su Zimo charged forward and slashed his wrist in reverse. He brought it to Lin Zhan’s mouth and said with a trembling voice, “Drink, hurry!”
At the same time, he released the Lotus Life Finger and channeled lifeforce into Lin Zhan’s body.
However, Lin Zhan’s body was long battered. His lifeforce surged in but it could not be retained and dissipated before long.
When his Green Lotus blood flowed into Lin Zhan’s body, there was no reaction. It was only enough to sustain Lin Zhan to hold out for a moment longer.
Su Zimo’s heart sank gradually.
To him, Lin Zhan was not only a Monarch, a senior and a good friend.
Lin Zhan was the Eternal Human Monarch and the person he respected the most!
Who led the human race of Tianhuang Mainland to defeat the Primordial Nine Races and walk out of that dark and tragic period to create a glorious era that belonged to the human race?!
Who was the one who still cared for the humans of Tianhuang Mainland after ascending to the upper world and even risked his life to forcefully descend to save the human race from danger?!
The Eternal Human Monarch was a symbol and faith for Tianhuang Mainland.
But now, the Human Monarch who had once dominated the world and fought for his entire life was about to die in the Heaven Conquest Battle.
Su Zimo was unwilling to believe it.
In fact, he even hoped that everything at that moment was just a dream.
“Zimo, don’t force yourself.”
Lin Zhan smiled and a flush appeared on his face, as though it was a final burst of revitalization before death. “Although I didn’t manage to ascend to the major chiliocosm, my life has been rather spectacular. I’ve never had to bow down and have no regrets.”
“It’s just that I won’t be able to continue fighting with you…”
Su Zimo lowered his head in silence with reddened eyes.
Never had to bow down and no regrets—that was the life of the Eternal Human Monarch!
Lin Zhan looked at Immortal Queen Ling Long again and said gently, “Ling Long, I can’t protect you guys anymore in the future. I’ll leave Lei’er and Luo’er to you.”
Immortal Queen Ling Long was extremely sad. She opened her mouth slightly, as though she wanted to say something but could not bear to.
She knew that Lin Zhan was entrusting Lin Lei and Lin Luo to her for a single reason—he wanted her to live on!
Looking at the dying Lin Zhan, Immortal Queen Ling Long could not bear to refuse and only nodded with tears in her eyes.
Lin Zhan smiled one last time and closed his eyes slowly.
The Eternal Human Monarch was dead!
Heaven and earth grieved together.
