Chapter 2382: Sacrifice and Legacy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was impossible to describe the grief and anguish of the members of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect at this moment.
Cyril was the First Heavenly Disciple of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect, and he was one of the two main pillars of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect. Yet, right before their very eyes, such an invincible man had actually been killed.
However, even though their grief was immeasurable, the members of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect still furiously funneled all of their powers into the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spell Formation.
They couldn’t forget the final words of that towering and mighty man. In the last moments of his life, he had said to them, “Continue to battle!”
Indeed, continue to battle!
Cyril had died in battle.
Even though the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao had already shattered his most powerful sword, even though the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao had already slashed off his head, even though countless rays of Grand Primordium Light had already erupted throughout his body, and even though the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess had already revealed her true body to extinguish his essence…
He still didn’t fall.
Even until death, he was still standing.
He used his body of tens of millions of feet in height to block Chen Chen behind him.
He was like a colossal mountain…
He was like a colossal mountain that was doing everything it could to protect those behind him.
As the most powerful member of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect, he was using his life to display the willpower of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect.
Indeed, Cyril had already sacrificed his life to tell them what to do, so how could they s.h.i.+rk or retreat? How could they give up?
“Persist! Don’t disappoint Heavenly Disciple Cyril!” the Ancient Dragon Empress shouted. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she roared, “Crush the heavens!”
The members of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect furiously unleashed their powers into the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spell Formation beneath them.
“Crush the heavens!”
“Crush the heavens!”
“Crush the heavens!”
Black-veined patterns suffused through the sky.
The Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spell Formation had already entered its final stages!
However, in the eyes of the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spell Formation was as weak and brittle as could be. She could obliterate the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Glazed Palace with a casual swing of her palm. At that time, the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spell Formation would also implode by itself.
Of course, before she obliterated the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Glazed Palace, she had to dispose of the second enemy who could threaten her.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess held the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao in one hand and Cyril’s head in the other hand as she turned her gaze toward the youth who was currently suffering a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. A faint smile spread across her face, and she said, “Now… it’s your turn.”
The backlash from the Heavenly Dao had already pushed Chen Chen’s body to the verge of collapse. His face was drenched in blood. His head was lowered, and there was anguish on his face.
He wasn’t feeling sorrow because of his own fate. Rather, Cyril’s death was indeed something that caused him to experience inconsolable grief.
Chen Chen was extremely talented in reading people, and he knew that Cyril was truly a mighty being who cared about the fate of the continent. He was a true friend.
Yet, Cyril had died before him, just like that.
Even in death, however, Cyril still thought about protecting him.
Even though Chen Chen had already diluted most of his emotions, he was still extremely touched at this moment.
He gazed at the body that stood before him. This body was like a colossal divine mountain that protected him from enemies.
The one hundred swords that had pierced into this body had already shattered and broken, losing their original might and l.u.s.ter. Meanwhile, the rain of blood continued to fall, pitter-pattering onto the body that was riddled with glaring wounds. This was a moving yet tragic scene.
“Cyril… our plan…” Chen Chen took a deep breath before saying in a resolute voice, “Still hasn’t failed!”
As he said this, it was as if he had suppressed the profound backlash that was descending from the Heavenly Dao. A powerful aura surged forth from his body and converged onto the tip of the black and white Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Spear, which then viciously stabbed even deeper into the sky!
Boom!
The Heavenly Dao was comprehensively shattered by the black and white spear.
“You’re seeking death!” the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess roared in a wild rage. She made a pointing motion at Chen Chen.
Like a golden-white sword from beyond this world, a beam of Grand Primordium Light illuminated the crimson sky and pierced through the rain of blood as it mercilessly shot toward Chen Chen’s head!
In his current state, Chen Chen had no way of blocking this strike.
“Xiao Hong!” an aloof and clear voice suddenly cried. “Purple Star Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Armor, activate!”
It was as if a new sun were rising above heaven and earth.
A dazzling woman suddenly appeared before Chen Chen. Her figure was slender, and her stunningly beautiful face exhibited a flawless combination of charm and innocence. On top of her red clothes, there was a layer of peculiar armor that was radiating with a soft purple glow.
“Xiao Hong, the young and beautiful female warrior of the Purple Star, has arrived!” the young woman cried.
With a soft shout, a s.h.i.+eld of divine light that spun like a whirlpool burst forth from her hands. At the same time, brilliant rays of purple divine light erupted from her armor and enveloped this s.h.i.+eld of divine light, causing it to become even st.u.r.dier and more powerful.
Boom!
As rays of Grand Primordium Light struck the s.h.i.+eld, it sent halos of energy exploding into the surroundings. The Grand Primordium Light then entered the domain of the purple divine light, causing it to dissipate at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. As the rays of Grand Primordium Light crashed into the spinning s.h.i.+eld of divine light, the s.h.i.+eld couldn’t help but creak and crumble.
“Warning! The enemy’s power has already exceeded the endurable limit of the equipment…”
A deafening explosion suddenly reverberated through the sky.
The suit of Purple Star Battle Armor that Xiao Hong was wearing suddenly burst apart. At the same time, she also spat a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying back by the devastating power of the collision.
The rays of Grand Primordium Light disappeared, yet the young woman in red still stood in the sky.
She wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth before spreading her arms apart with a resolute expression, blocking Chen Chen behind her. Her voice was cold as she said, “I won’t allow you to attack master’s friend!”
Chen Chen faltered upon seeing this. He was slightly astonished as he gazed at the young woman before him, and he said, “You’re… the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Xiao Hong?”
The members of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect were all stunned upon hearing this.
“This young woman is clearly at the Dao Integration Stage, yet she actually managed to block the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ Grand Primordium Light?”
“Heavens… Just what kind of freak is she?”
“The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Xiao Hong? The only person to have reached the Dao Integration Stage through comprehending the Dao of Light? Sure enough, the Four Nine Immortal Sect is filled with freakish talents…”
Not only were they astounded, but even the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess was slightly surprised.
However, she only took a quick glance at Xiao Hong before quickly turning her gaze elsewhere. Standing above the clouds was another woman in white. This woman gave her a slight feeling of danger.
“Humph, you’re merely taking advantage of external matters and your affinity with the power of light… You can block me once, but can you block me a second time?” the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess said as she turned her gaze back toward Xiao Hong. She immediately launched another attack at the young woman in red who was already severely wounded!
However, Xiao Hong was completely unafraid. Instead, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said, “I don’t need to block you a second time… After all, I still have my master!”
A ray of Grand Primordium Light illuminated and pierced through all matter as it shot toward Xiao Hong.
Rumble…
Waves of darkness suddenly descended from the sky, landing on top of the ray of Grand Primordium Light and completely enveloping it. Not a single wisp of light was let out.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ expression suddenly changed. She turned around, only to see a man who was striding over on an expanse of boundless darkness. A black Divine Halo rapidly spun behind him, and a devastating divine might was radiating from his body, suppressing the entire world. At this moment, his fist was mercilessly smas.h.i.+ng toward her face!
Boom!
A profound and boundless darkness blotted out heaven and earth.
At this instant, apart from the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ body, the entire world fell into darkness.
This boundless darkness then instantly converged into a colossal fist of darkness that measured tens of millions of feet in width. This fist violently tore through the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ rays of Grand Primordium Light before ferociously hammering into her chest.
There was another deafening and earth-shattering explosion.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ holy and powerful body actually caved in under the formidable power of the punch!
Her colossal body of ten million feet in height was sent flying backward.. To the shock and disbelief of the billions upon trillions of beings, she then tumbled across the ground before finally coming to a rest after slamming into Cyril’s lifeless body.
