"Walk!"
Qin Ze hurriedly issued commands to his clones via the Local Area Network.
The Five Heavenly Kings are alright.
Ordinary clones are completely unable to withstand the mental Corruption of the World Overlord.
If we don't take advantage of the fact that the World Overlord hasn't fully recovered yet, we should quickly leave the Corruption area.
The clones will end up like they did on the night of the raid on the False Circus in Snow City —one by one, they'll self-destruct.
The Mist Lord outside the arena immediately released Fog of War.
Using the fog as cover, the clones quickly retreated from the palace.
After each of the three Heavenly King unleashed their powerful attacks, they immediately retreated.
"Trying to escape?"
Gong Shangyu raised an eyebrow.
It's been stuck on like a plaster for so long.
You can leave if you want, or stay if you want.
What do you take me for?
Buzz--
Gong Shangyu plucked the strings of the zither with great force.
The Sonic Boom instantly surged into the Fog of War.
Brother Devour held the rear, taking the brunt of the attack head-on, and using the force of the Sonic Boom to fly dozens of meters away.
Having absorbed damage at the front, Brother Devour's body was mostly shattered, and it was almost at its limit.
Even if the World Overlord doesn't awaken, he's still prepared to be nourished.
Qin Ze breathed a sigh of relief as he watched all his clones leave the palace.
Zhan Li had come to find the Fifth Prince before Qin Ze, was now unconscious in a corner of the garden.
Before he could even get close, he was "controlled" by the Fifth Prince and fell into a coma.
The key sensed the Corruption of the Dominator and automatically activated Shelter Space to shield Zhan Li.
Watching her clones flee into the distance, Gong Shangyu's chest heaved with anger; she had never fought such a humiliating battle.
Although she really wanted to catch up, for the sake of the bigger picture, she hesitated for a moment and then flew towards the Fifth Prince.
Strangely, neither Gong Shangyu nor the Fifth Prince, who was in the broken Sealed Land, were affected by the Corruption.
The shadow seems to possess some means of combating Corruption.
Qin Ze had previously absorbed two Relic, which greatly enhanced his Desolate God Bloodline and refined his body from the inside out.
Given the current level of Corruption, Qin Ze can withstand it even without activating the Desolate God Bloodline.
Unlike when they first faced the fake Troupe Leader, they couldn't withstand even the Corruption of a single believer.
Damn it!
"Is this what you wanted?"
The Duke launched into a tirade of curses.
He knew very well what the awakening of the Dominator meant.
Especially now, when all the Advanced Martial Artist are focused on Torch City's defense against the Tide.
"It's over."
The Great Sage took a deep breath.
His blood and energy were boiling.
Violent blue flames surged wildly from its body, burning every corner of this space.
This space formed a blue flame Cage, with the Duke trapped in the center.
He tried to break it open.
But the moment his deep purple flames touched the blue flames, they were instantly absorbed.
If one were to force a breakthrough, they would likely be severely burned.
Almost everyone in the Maka Race primarily uses a modified version of Fire Movement Technique.
It can be both a blessing and a curse.
Take now, for example.
Faced with true Fire Movement Technique, their methods were completely ineffective.
Ling said calmly, "Don't waste your energy. You only recently broke through to Level Nine, and you mainly cultivate Fire Movement Technique. You can't break through it."
The duke's eyes widened in fury. "You old scoundrel!"
Ling looked towards the Sealed Land: "Your world will not be destroyed."
Having said that, he stepped out of the space.
The Dominator is awakening little by little.
The azure sky turned dark red.
The rules of the world are beginning to fall into chaos.
The earth trembled.
Deafening Earth Rumbling sounds emanated from the depths of the earth.
Thump~
Xuan Ling knelt on one knee, leaning on the King's Sword, to welcome the arrival of the "King".
The cracks continued to widen.
With a loud "boom," a Abyss appeared in the center of the Sealed Land.
The Abyss rapidly spread to both sides, instantly dividing the entire palace in two.
The Corruption is getting worse.
Countless low murmurs echoed in Qin Ze's ears.
He frowned, barely suppressing the urge to activate the Desolate God Bloodline.
A huge, dark red arm stretched out from the Abyss, gripping the Sidelines firmly, its body seemingly struggling to climb upwards.
Qin Ze glanced at the arm, and it felt like he'd been hit on the head with a hammer; he quickly looked away.
Is this the World Overlord?
The Fifth Prince laughed wildly, "Wake up quickly!"
Whew~
A surge of blue flame crashed down from the sky, slamming heavily onto the back of the Dominator's hand.
Blue flames burned, and the Dominator wailed.
The fifth prince suddenly looked up.
Ling sat cross-legged in the void, her hands clasped together.
His hair and beard flew wildly, and his robes billowed in the wind.
"Old man, what are you doing?!"
Ling Jin shouted, "Gentlemen, are you willing to sacrifice yourselves to sever the world in exchange for eternal peace for our race?"
Its sound was like thunder, rumbling incessantly, spreading to every corner of the world.
At the same time, the token at his waist transformed into a blue streak of light and flew into the sky.
The northern front.
Blue Flame Army's base.
Two hundred thousand soldiers, fully armed, stood in neat rows, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the dark sky.
The army commander stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "It begins."
The adjutant suddenly spoke up, "General, do you think people will remember what we did today?"
Upon hearing this, the commander said in a deep voice, "As long as the blue flames continue to burn, someone will always remember."
He immediately turned to face the soldiers.
"Gentlemen, it is my greatest honor to die alongside you all today!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, "The blue flame will never die, the burning heart will live on forever!"
The commander nodded repeatedly, his eyes reddening.
Beneath the crimson sky, a blue streak of light arrived, along with Ling's voice.
"Gentlemen, are you willing to sacrifice yourselves, severing the world in exchange for eternal peace for our race?"
The commander laughed loudly, "Blue Flame still burns, everyone please proceed with caution."
Blue flames erupted from beneath its feet, engulfing its entire body.
Flesh and Blood were burned away, leaving only white bones.
A beam of blue light shot out from the wreckage and was absorbed by the Great Sage's Token in the sky.
"The blue flame will never die, the burning heart will live on forever!"
Amidst shouts and cries, the soldiers burned with fervor, and countless streams of light converged into the token.
As the last soldier turned to dust, the Source of the World and the Source of Life within the token completely merged.
The token cracked open and then exploded into more streams of light, flying in all directions of the Northern Continent.
Rumble--
A towering blue light curtain rose from the junction of the Northern Continent Southern Continent.
The continent, Fusion for over a hundred years, was split in two.
The Northern Continent divided and then disappeared into the endless void.
From the Abyss, to the Abyss.
Everyone in the palace saw the fleeting light that stretched to the horizon, and they all guessed what had happened.
The Fifth Prince roared, "You old fool, you've schemed against me?"
Ling smiled slightly, her body surging with blue flames.
"No one will get hurt today, except us."
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the Fifth Prince.
The fifth prince panicked when he saw the hand on his shoulder.
"Let me go!"
The Fifth Prince activated his ability, and a pendulum appeared behind him.
Ling was completely unaffected, and the blue flames surrounding her engulfed the Fifth Prince along with Gong Shangyu.
Blue flames erupted, and Ling, along with the two others, plunged into the Abyss.
In a daze, Ling seemed to have returned to the day when the Great Sage taught him the Fire Movement Technique.
I saw the blue flames burning silently and endlessly atop the tower.
Ling closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh.
"Great and benevolent Blue Flame, today I have finally returned to your side."
(Thanks to the two great masters "Eyebrows on Dragon's Back" for the certification. You gave such a big reward, so I'll add an extra chapter and try to finish it before this Sunday.)
