Chapter 797: The Eldest Disciple's Sacrifice
"So strong!"
At this moment, everyone realized that the Peach Blossom Goddess's combat power was definitely at the demigod level.
Qin Liangyu and the other concubines marveled. As expected of the person her husband had specially invited from the Central Region, she had comprehended Dao patterns to the level of a demigod in the past few decades. No wonder she could suppress four emperors with a wave of her hand.
"Please rest, both of you. We'll take care of the rest."
The Peach Blossom Goddess released her demigod aura, and the endless rules that conjured peach petals directly formed a defensive barrier to prevent the national protection formation from being attacked again.
With her around, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The main problem is that those cursed monsters of the Emperor's Path are unkillable; otherwise, Dian Wei and the others wouldn't be in such a passive position given their combat strength. It's only because Chen Ling'er's bloodline is special that she has such a good killing effect.
Things are different now; Lian Ni Chang's magic can also counteract curses.
"The Realm of the Sea? How could there be an Emperor of my Sea Clan in Li Continent?"
Several Great Emperors from the Wuwang Sea Clan Battlefield in the Central Region observed Lizhou from across the void. What they saw left them all stunned.
Isn't Li Zhou's wealth a bit excessive? Even demigods are coming out to fight. In other words, the more powerful people emerge from the earth veins, the more powerful people will emerge from Li Zhou.
It should be noted that no Martial God has appeared yet. What will happen to Lizhou if a Martial God appears in the earth veins?
One of the emperors said, "The Holy Emperor didn't show up; he's really carefree."
"That's not quite right. Haven't you noticed that the vast majority of the Earth's strength is concentrated in Lizhou? The stronger Lizhou is, the less pressure we face. If Lizhou is breached, will we still have a chance?"
"That's true. Li Zhou's foundation is still very strong. That woman who uses the Sea Realm seems to be from a branch of the Southern Region."
"No need for 'seems,' it's her, Lan Qiao. I remember her scent."
Lan Xinyu stared intently at Lan Qiao, feeling somewhat annoyed.
If you want to provide support, why not come and support your main family in the Central Region? What are you doing in the Outer Continent?
Could it be that the entire southern branch has rebelled and defected to Lizhou?
"Lan Qiao'er and Lan Minghao, the brother and sister, are also there, along with Ancestor Tianlan and that Xu Mingzhu. It seems that something unexpected happened at the end of the last battle in the Southern Region, and none of us noticed it."
The powerful members of the Central Sea Clan were unhappy, but they couldn't very well jump out now and question Lan Qiao about why he had sided with Lizhou.
Wow!
As everyone spoke, the heavens seemed to weep blood, another great emperor had fallen, causing everyone's hearts to tighten and a sense of sorrow to well up in their minds.
The emperor who died was none other than the emperor of Wuyou Divine Mountain in the Northern Region. The entire Wuyou Divine Mountain was transformed into a purgatory, and the quasi-emperors on the mountain were successively destroyed. The entire Wuyou Divine Mountain was heading towards its end.
Then a new round of bloodshed followed. This time, the one who died was the fat monk from Jutie Mountain in the Southern Region. He had taken the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and had been staying in the Southern Region. Today, he wanted to lead his disciples to transfer to the Southern Li Empire to form an alliance, but a change occurred and he was intercepted and killed by two emperors on the way. The gentleman was gone, and Kuishan was also killed along with him.
"died……"
The old king of Nanli looked grief-stricken, and the empress of Biyue Palace, who had come to form an alliance earlier, also looked grim.
Lu Yuan whispered, "Ancestor, what do we do next?"
How long can the Southern Li's protective array last?
Lu Aotian also advised the old king to make preparations in advance, as Nanli might not be able to hold out.
The old king smiled bitterly at the Empress of Biyue Palace: "I am unwilling to abandon my homeland and live a life of ignominy. I beg the Empress to protect a group of juniors as they leave. If they go to Lizhou, perhaps they will still have hope of survival."
The Empress said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. We might be intercepted halfway. That old fellow from Jutie Mountain was killed in the middle of the journey in the same way."
"Don't worry, I had someone secretly build a teleportation array years ago that can directly connect to the Northern Region. Unfortunately, it consumes a lot of resources and can only be used once."
In other words, the array patterns cannot support too many people being teleported over extremely long distances.
Lu Aotian looked utterly desperate. "Ancestor, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future battle!"
"Yes, so you all have to live. The future depends on you younger generation. I've lived long enough."
The old king has made up his mind and will not leave.
He was the core of the empire. If he left, the empire's defenses would crumble, so he had to protect the people of Nanli until the very last moment.
"I'll stay too."
Lu Aotian's father, the current ruler of the country, also made a decision.
Lu Aotian wanted to say something, but the old king silenced him, forbidding him from speaking again.
“Ancestor, everyone says it’s hard to leave one’s homeland, and we are willing to die for it.”
The elders of Biyue Palace spoke in unison.
The Empress smiled bitterly, "Fine, stay and fight to the last breath. That won't disgrace my Biyue Palace."
And so, the array pattern was activated.
The Empress, along with Lü Yuan and a group of core disciples and elders of the Biyue Palace, as well as a group of geniuses from the empire, stepped onto the teleportation array. Then, the moment the array was activated, the Empress flashed off the teleportation array.
"No! Ancestor!"
Lü Yuan and her disciples screamed in alarm.
The Empress smiled sadly, "Little ones, live well and avenge my Southern Region in the future."
With a whoosh, the teleportation array flickered, and a group of young people vanished without a trace.
The old king sighed, "Why bother?"
The Empress said, "I have cultivated for so many years, how can I flee in the face of battle? At worst, we will fight to the death."
The same thing happened in various realms, with many young people being forcibly relocated, while the older generation chose to stay and defend their homeland, fighting to the last moment.
The final war to protect the nation broke out.
Nanli was attacked by five emperors, a joint effort by the two emperors who intercepted Jutie Mountain and the three emperors who were preparing to attack Nanli.
The protective array pattern did not last long before it crumbled.
As countless people gazed upon the five figures that resembled demons, despair filled their hearts, and they wept bitterly.
"kill!"
The old king and the empress charged forward first, followed by quasi-emperors and ancient saints who also fearlessly joined the fray.
In an instant, the blood of quasi-emperors and holy blood swept across the entire empire's territory, and the land irrigated with blood saw countless deaths.
"Hahaha, so happy, so happy!"
The old king, his hair and beard bristling, fought on with his life on the line. Even when his son, the emperor, was killed and shattered, he did not shed a single tear. All that remained in his heart was a final frenzy.
"Your Majesty!"
"God, you have no eyes!"
The people of Nanli watched as the bloodied corpse of the empire's ruler pressed down in the void, their hearts trembling with fear, and cries of despair filled the entire empire.
Just then, a young figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and endless blood energy from within the empire's territory converged on him. He opened his eyes, and it was as if two beams of light illuminated the gloomy and desolate world.
One of the Great Emperors of the Earth Vein was pierced by the blood-red gaze and instantly burned into nothingness, leaving nothing behind, and unable to reassemble.
"who!"
The sudden change plunged the empire into a state of utter silence.
Bathed in the black imperial blood, the young man spoke: "I am Qin Hao, the chief disciple under the Holy Emperor."
