The Eternal Ages blue sword light relentlessly pressed down on the protective shield.
Chu Duanhun was forced to his knees by the bent protective shield.
And at that moment!
A crisp sound came from the protective shield.
I heard that sound.
Chu Duanhun's expression changed.
A bad feeling rose in his mind.
Just as expected!
The next second, at the center of the protective shield.
A tiny crack, barely noticeable to the naked eye, appeared.
Under the constant pressure of the Eternal Ages sword light...
The tiny cracks began to spread rapidly.
In just a few seconds.
Cracks were densely distributed across the entire protective shield.
At some point!
With a loud 'bang',
The entire protective shield exploded instantly.
The powerful sword light hurtled towards Chu Duanhun below with unstoppable force.
In an instant, the blue light completely covered the area where Chu Duanhun was located.
A scream followed immediately from that area.
But the screams were brief, and soon silence followed.
The deafening explosion of the blue sword light caused the entire Eternal Ruins to tremble.
As the shockwave from the explosion gradually subsided...
This moment!
Inside the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins.
Everyone held their breath.
At this moment, you can even clearly hear the heartbeat of the person next to you.
'Gurgle!'
Dasiwoba swallowed hard, his gaze returning to Chu Duanhun's direction.
The smoke and dust began to dissipate little by little.
The true face of that area began to emerge.
Chu Duanhun was kneeling on the ground.
His eyes were still open.
Beneath the Shattering clothes in front of her, a faint heartbeat still lingered.
But now, he was covered in blood from head to toe, a veritable blood-soaked figure.
'Whoosh!'
Dasiwoba flashed to Chu Duanhun's side.
However, just as he was about to reach out to check Chu Duanhun's injuries...
Lin Heng suddenly called out to him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch him right now."
" Chu Duanhun's entire body has been injured by the Eternal Ages Sword Qi."
"Now you only need to touch it slightly."
"Those Sword Qi energies will immediately burst forth from his body."
"If you want to live, you must relinquish all your cultivation."
"That Sword Qi will also weaken as his energy dissipates."
"With your abilities, Dasiwoba, it shouldn't be difficult to remove the remaining Sword Qi from his body."
Upon hearing this, Dasiwoba clenched his fists.
Looking at Chu Duanhun, whose gaze was resolute but whose face showed pain, he saw the man before him.
This caused a flicker of regret to cross Dasiwoba's eyes.
If it wasn't his order.
Chu Duanhun wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out.
Naturally, none of this would have happened.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Because of his command, everything became a reality.
After a brief moment of thought, Dasiwoba spoke to Chu Duanhun:
" Duanhun, disperse your cultivation."
Even if you become an ordinary mortal.
"I, Dasiwoba, hereby assure you."
"Even in the Western Celebratory Demon Sea, no one dares to harm you in the slightest."
Dasiwoba's actions forced Chu Duanhun to force a smile despite the pain.
This at least proves that he never followed the wrong master in his life.
But Chu Duanhun chose to refuse Dasiwoba's offer.
"Thank you, sir."
"To have followed you across the Four Seas in my life is enough."
"But if I lose my cultivation, what meaning is there in my life?"
As Chu Duanhun spoke, his eyes were filled with determination.
As cultivators, everyone present could understand the meaning behind Chu Duanhun's words.
After all, it wasn't just Chu Duanhun; it could have been anyone else present.
Losing one's cultivation is probably worse than losing one's life.
After all, what has sustained them step by step to this point is the belief in constantly becoming stronger.
With cultivation gone, faith naturally collapses as well.
After Chu Duanhun finished speaking to Dasiwoba...
In the final moments of his life.
He fixed his gaze on Lin Heng.
" Lin Heng, you are indeed a worthy opponent."
Even if I had to do it all over again, I still wouldn't regret my choice.
As soon as Chu Duanhun finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his fists and let out a roar.
"Ah!!!"
A roar like that of a wild beast echoed continuously within the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins.
However, this was also because Chu Duanhun forcibly circulated his energy.
This caused the Eternal Ages Sword Qi throughout his body to begin to rage wildly.
Countless Sword Qi began to support Chu Duanhun's body.
It was as if small wisps of air were appearing on his body.
Less than a second later.
'Bang bang bang bang!'
The Eternal Ages Sword Qi continuously burst forth from Chu Duanhun's body.
Amidst the piercing noise.
Blood mist erupted from Chu Duanhun's body.
In an instant, thousands of Sword Qi exploded.
Chu Duanhun's aura gradually weakened as the Sword Qi pierced his body, until his last bit of life energy was completely dissipated.
'Bang!'
The lifeless Chu Duanhun forward, his mangled body falling to the ground.
Dasiwoba closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Dasiwoba picked up Chu Duanhun.
Fresh blood continued to drip from Chu Duanhun's corpse.
Soon, Dasiwoba's clothes were also stained crimson with Chu Duanhun's blood.
He didn't say a word, but simply turned around quietly and walked step by step towards the outside of the Eternal Ruins.
The people from the Western Celebratory Demon Sea, their eyes also dimmed, followed closely behind Dasiwoba, leaving with him.
It must be said that in this respect, Dasiwoba is indeed far superior to Hermoz.
In no time at all, the people of the Western Celebratory Demon Sea disappeared into the Eternal Ruins.
Lin Heng then raised his eyes and swept his gaze across the entire room.
This time, Lin Heng's gaze swept across the area.
All the powerful figures across the Four Seas bowed their heads.
Even someone as strong as Chu Duanhun couldn't withstand a single move from Lin Heng.
Who would dare go up there?
Of course, everyone knows that.
Lin Heng is probably no longer able to unleash an attack like the one he just had.
However, the inability to perform it multiple times does not mean that it cannot be performed at all.
Even if it's only once or twice.
But who would be willing to continue sending themselves to their deaths?
At this critical moment, Hongjun stepped forward.
" Lin Heng's strength is something everyone has already witnessed."
"To reduce the carnage Four Seas, I see no need for this battle to continue."
" Lin Heng, take the Pangu Axe and leave!"
Naturally, no one stood up to refute Hongjun's words.
This can be seen as Hongjun giving them a way out.
Seeing this, Lin Heng nodded to Hongjun and then left with his Good and Evil Doppelgangers and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The main parties involved have already left.
The powerful figures in the other three sea areas naturally had no need to stay any longer.
Lin Yue Yao also led her powerful subordinates away.
Following closely behind is Hongjun's Southern Spirit Sacred Sea.
But Hermoz remained until the very end.
Watching Lin Heng and the others from the other three sea areas leave.
Hermoz suddenly smiled, a smile that held a cryptic meaning...
