That red phantom had not yet fully reached Cangcheng, but that phantom alone had already caused the Long-life Species on Cangcheng to react.
“Put down your weapon…
look at yourself.
Why are you trying so hard?
You’re all going to die anyway, so why not put down your weapon, give up struggling, and quietly await His descent?” At Cangcheng’s port, Xueyi’s voice emerged in Hanya’s mind.
Only…
this voice carried a few more traces of laziness and wickedness, like some deliberate imitator pretending to be her elder sister, guiding her toward the wrong path.
Almost the moment this voice surfaced in her heart, Hanya, who was bitterly locked in fierce battle with the Abominations of Abundance, hurriedly raised her head and cast her gaze toward Xueyi not far from her.
Looking at that figure still killing enemies within the battle formation, Hanya seemed to have taken a calming pill, and she continued swinging the longsword in her hand, chopping toward the abominations’ heads.
On the other side, Xueyi was not having an easy time either.
The sisters’ hearts were connected, and the situation Hanya was suffering at this moment was also unfolding on her in real time.
But that voice had underestimated an elder sister’s conviction to protect her younger sister, and even more so underestimated their honor as Cloud Knights!
And so, that sword, which had originally seemed somewhat faltering, became increasingly fierce and vicious.
But not all Cloud Knights were like the two sisters, possessing a circumstance where they could redeem each other.
The long period of suppression, the reality of Cangcheng’s imminent fall, their own approaching demise…
under the stimulation of that red light, these pressures began to crush their minds like towering mountains, making them start to fall into self-doubt and inducing the seeds within their bodies that belonged to “Yaoshi” to take root and sprout.
This was true even for the Cloud Knights, let alone the ordinary people of the Xianzhou at this moment.
Gradually, the Cloud Knights’ battleline began to collapse.
Some key units suddenly lost their will to fight in battle, giving the Abominations of Abundance an opening to exploit.
They began to break through the Cloud Knights’ defensive line and swarm toward the crowds at the port.
At this critical moment, another “combat force” emerged from among the crowd.
They first cleared away the Abominations of Abundance that had surged in, then began filling the gaps in the Cloud Knights’ line.
These people were Cangcheng’s civilians.
Among them were former Cloud Knights, market butchers, and even academy lecturers.
The vast majority of them had never touched a weapon in their lives, yet at this moment, they unleashed astonishing battle instincts.
Under the influence of that blood-red light, they not only shattered the echoes in the depths of their hearts, they also erupted with powerful combat strength!
For an instant, the scales of battle returned to balance once more.
There was even a faint sign that this group of ordinary people who had “gone beyond their limits” was about to suppress the Abominations of Abundance.
But…
in the end, they were still ordinary people who had never undergone professional combat training.
Relying on nothing but hot blood, although they evened out the battleline for a short time, it was not a long-term solution.
And that almost suicidal style of fighting also caused massive losses.
Inside the General’s Residence The Cangcheng General, who had originally been sitting quietly in place, had already stood up.
He held his precious sword and stared at the red phantom in the sky.
Immediately after, the precious sword left its sheath, and this tall, elderly general slowly walked to the entrance of the General’s Residence.
In the end, he stopped.
Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly said: “Everyone, being able to govern Cangcheng together with you has been my greatest honor.
Today…
if Cangcheng finds a slim chance of survival, I ask that all of you encourage one another in the days to come.
If Cangcheng is already beyond saving…” “Then let us drink and speak merrily on the other side of the Yellow Springs!” After saying this, under everyone’s gaze, the Cangcheng General pushed open the gate and drew the precious sword in his hand, the blade pointing straight at the phantom overhead.
“Come then…
abomination!” After the Cangcheng General left, the Diviner inside the General’s Residence also transmitted the information to Cangcheng’s Divination Commission through a virtual projection.
At this moment, the Divination Commission Array had already been completed, awaiting only the coming “result of battle.” If the Cangcheng General’s life-risking strike could cut down that Demon Star, they would be able to use the array to make Cangcheng hold out until reinforcements arrived.
If not, if the general’s journey ended in failure, then they would light the brightest star beacon in this Universe, guiding The Reignbow Arbiter’s sharp arrow to fall…
Carrying the mighty light of [The Hunt]…
Before setting off, this general had even deliberately glanced at the location where Wen Jin was.
And Wen Jin, far away a hundred li away, seemed to have sensed something as well.
His gaze also silently turned toward where the Cangcheng General was.
The two of them did not meet each other’s eyes.
After all, they were separated by a hundred li, and had even crossed an entire grotto-heaven.
But this did not affect the tacit understanding between them in the unseen.
Finally, that lonely figure boarded a Skiff and, carrying an unstoppable momentum, charged toward the red Demon Star above the sky.
Almost in an instant, everyone’s gaze fell upon that Skiff that pressed forward without turning back.
They watched as it charged toward Cangcheng’s firmament, broke through layer after layer of the abominations’ obstruction, and finally became too tiny to see, sinking into that red phantom.
One minute later, a powerful wave erupted from above the sky!
According to observation, after that Skiff approached the Demon Star, under the influence of that Demon Star, the Cangcheng General, who had already stepped half a foot into Mara-Struck, leaped out of the Skiff.
The Arbiter-General’s full power merged into a single sword strike.
That life-risking blow from an “Emanator of The Hunt” carried everyone’s Hope!
In the end, that sword was swung, striking that crimson Demon Star head-on!
This sword, comparable to splitting heaven and earth apart, landed heavily on [Rahu the Planet Eater].
From the perspective of a planet, this sword caused mountains to collapse and the earth to transform drastically.
Almost instantly, it cut a chilling “wound” into Rahu’s body.
The Abominations of Abundance entrenched upon it did not even have time to wail before they had already turned into dust in the Universe.
This sword nearly cut the entire “living planet” in half at the waist.
If any other planet in this Universe had faced this sword, its only ending would have been destruction and collapse.
But— Unfortunately, this was a living planet.
Strictly speaking, it could even be considered a lump of “giant meat” rampaging through the stars!
Under this strike, which was enough to make an ordinary planet collapse and crumble, this Demon Star merely let out a silent wail in the Universe.
Then…
The rolling mountains and earth began to close together, and magma like blood began seeping out from the fissure, gluing the churning ground together.
That Demon Star…
was now healing itself at an extremely rapid pace!
When this scene was observed by Cangcheng, and even by other Xianzhou and factions, a deathly silence began to spread.
This symbolized only one result.
Cangcheng was beyond saving…
The omen of that “Incineration Avatar”…
had come true…
