Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 451, Section 60: Sorry, but there can only be one ruler on this Void Avenue!
The temple where Y'Shaarj's Dark Heart is located is large enough for the seven Sha-stained heroes and the attacking group to fight separately, but it is clear that the obstructionists are at a disadvantage.

Even with the powerful Wild God like the Monkey King assisting them, the others still suffered a miserable defeat against the Seven-Headed Demon God.

Especially the Shadow Hunters.

Apart from Staghelm and his lieutenant who were still fighting, the other hunters had been brought to the brink of death, but a strange layer of orange amber enveloped them, allowing them to survive and recover rapidly within the amber.

This unique blessing represents the amber regeneration technique monopolized by the Klaxxi Elder Order, which has been completely deciphered by the Shadow Swarm! As the mortals most closely connected with the Swarm, the Shadow Hunters were the first to receive this gift and protection.

The heroes knew very well how strong this regenerated amber was, so they didn't waste time trying to break it, but instead focused on hunting down the remaining obstacles.

Six heroes were enough to deal with the attackers, and their leader, the Supreme Kolfan, was fighting a huge Mogu stone golem in front of him, wielding two magnificent amber crescent axes.

That guy isn't an ordinary Mogu!
Its body is made of even older rocks, ancient rocks that no longer exist in this era, and inscriptions about "Ulduar, the city of the Titans" can even be seen in the patterns on its body.

It is highly likely that it was a lesser Titan guardian left here by Ra-den to guard the Heart of Darkness, and perhaps also the ancestor of all Mogu.

This is a powerful Titan Guardian, whose unique identity places him among the most powerful demigods.

Unfortunately, the ancient statue was still being pushed back by the Supreme Being Korvan, who was greatly enhanced by the Pride of the Sha, because even the Titan Guardians could not escape the invasion of "pride".

The increasingly sluggish movements of the Mogu giants indicated that the Supreme Being was getting closer to victory.

It will not allow anyone else to bother it.

All because it clearly sensed that the Dark Heart of the Dominator was in the sealed hall before the Mogu giant!
Yes.

The Mantids' millennia-long cycle of reincarnation has culminated in this day. As the first hero in history, the Supreme One should represent all Mantids to reach the end of this cycle filled with death, bloodshed, and sacrifice.

"Stop it!"

The Monkey King swung his staff with all his might, but was still blocked by the arrogant Gluttonous Locust and the fearful Bloodseeker. They not only had to fight the powerful Mantis Hero, but they also had to endure the combined effects of seven evil energies in a deadly battle.

This damn "arena buff" has increased the difficulty of this battle by several levels.

Now, Kane and Hamuul finally experienced firsthand the helplessness and pain their good brother, the Holy Light Black Bull Dezko, felt when facing the Sha of Doubt.

This feeling of being attacked and shaken in both body and mind at the same time is just too damn awful.

It's as if both body and mind have simultaneously admitted that they are "useless"!
"puff"

The clashing blades brought forth a bloody slicing of flesh. The Windbreaker of Doubt, Kerruk, emerged from the storm of blades, his entire body covered in black and white light spots. He mercilessly swung the Fiendish Battle Blade in his hand.

Behind it, Zhu Talan suppressed his churning true energy and assumed a fighting stance, but ultimately couldn't hold on and spat out a mouthful of black and white blood.

That last stab almost shredded his heart.

"You are no longer able to fight, and your heart is filled with doubt."

The Windbreaker said in an accented tone:
"Step down. You have done your best, Grandmaster of the Pandaren. You have lived up to your honor. Today's defeat is not your responsibility."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Talan knew he was no match for the powerful demigod in front of him, but he still gripped the Dragon Staff and pressed several acupoints on his chest.

This must be some kind of secret technique, because Zhu Talan's nearly depleted true energy was suddenly activated.

Under the astonished gaze of the Windbreaker, Zhu Talan took a step forward, and as his body swayed strangely, he split into three true energy avatars that were exactly the same as him, each wielding a weapon and charging towards it.

The Wind Rider initially thought it was just some kind of ridiculous illusion, but after being hit at least seventeen times in a second, and even its amber armor shattered, it realized that Zhu Talan had used some kind of supreme secret technique of Shadow Tracking.

The four Pandaren monks in front of you are real!

It's like four Zhu Talans attacking it simultaneously, and its destructive power is exactly the same as the original. It can also unleash all the profound mysteries mastered by the Zhu Sect Leader. With its strength quadrupled, the Zhu Sect Leader is already a being capable of fighting Diakum!
But the Windbreaker was certain that this terrible secret technique could not be used for long.

So, all I need to do is endure it.
"puff"

Blood splattered.

The intense pain interrupted the thoughts of the Windbreaker Kerruk.

Beside it, General Staghelm expressionlessly swung his scythe, a veteran of the Quicksand War. He and four Zhu Talan soldiers launched a fierce attack on Kerruk, forcing the Windbreaker into a chaotic situation.

"Don't you understand yet?"

In the midst of the battle, General Staghelm unleashed his mental magic, transforming it into spiritual spikes that slammed into the mind of the Windrider. The dark whispers of the mind, accompanied by the outbreak of the Soul-Devouring Plague, echoed in the Windrider's mind.

他 说:

"For Sect Leader Zhu, stopping you today is no longer a matter of winning or losing, but rather that he must be here at this time. It's about responsibility, mission, and obligation! I'm curious, as an outstanding individual, do you understand these things?"

After all, you look different from your fellow countrymen.

While they were immersed in fanatical faith or overwhelming power, you surprisingly remained calm.

I can sense that you are a unique hero, and even in your heart, you yourself are questioning whether what you are doing at this moment is right.
Can the Overlord truly bring the Mantis civilization to its peak?

Or are you simply hastening the demise of your race with your own hands?

Come to think of it, you don't know what happened to Klaxevis after you left, right?

Let me tell you, there was a traitor in the Holy Land, the Klaxxi elders were assassinated, and your Holy Land has been destroyed by the Shadow Chaser swarm!
Mantises are extinct!

Your civilization is dead, strangled to death by my own hands and those of my Zerg swarm!

"boom"

The scabbard clashed with the scythe of the deer-helmet.

Kerruk the Windseeker's compound eyes stared intently at the shadowy Kaldorei before him, and he said:
You're making me suspicious!

"Perhaps, perhaps I was just telling the truth?"

Forced back, Staghelm faced Kerruk's Mantis Gale Sword Technique. He let out a sinister laugh and vanished into the shadows like a ghost, perfectly dodging the fatal blow. The temple floor was torn apart by the storm-like slash.

Zhu Talan's desperate use of the secret technique was ultimately effective. When his true energy was completely exhausted and his three true energy clones dissipated, the Wind Chaser in front of him had his elytra broken and could not move quickly. One of his arms was also shattered by the Sun Fist, and even half of his compound eye was punctured.

This is already a serious injury.

Unfortunately, Master Zhu's absolute strength was still a bit lacking, and he failed to kill the Windbreaker. As he staggered and prepared to continue his attack, the Windbreaker stabbed him in the heart with a sword.

The weapon of the Sha Ran is a divine weapon of the void, capable of killing instantly upon contact with blood.

"you're good!"

The Wind Sweeper whispered in Zhu Talan's ear:
"You are the most powerful and self-sacrificing Pandaren monk I have ever met. I have even begun to admire your willingness to sacrifice your life. If you were a Mantid or I were a Pandaren, we would definitely become best friends."

But I'm sorry, we each serve our own masters.

"Ha, you are the most honorable mantis I have ever seen. You are right, each serves their own master, there is no right or wrong."

Master Zhu grabbed the Windbreaker's sword-wielding claws with both hands, and with the full force of the Dislocating Bone Hand, the Windbreaker's expression changed drastically. Behind it, Old Chen, who had already finished charging up, roared and unleashed the "Dawn Fist".

The "Holy Light Energy Bomb" he learned from Diakum roared and exploded, engulfing both Windbreaker and Sect Leader Zhu in the next second.

When the scorching light dissipated, Old Zhu was almost charred, but the Windbreaker was still alive.

It was still struggling, and the enhancement of the Doubtful Fiend allowed it to barely survive Old Chen's desperate outburst.

However, as it rose, the Staghelm appeared from its shadow like a ghost, its scythe slashing precisely and piercing the Windbreaker's back with a soft thud.

This blow completely defeated the Windbreaker, leaving it powerless and collapsing to the ground.

But in the final sway of its vision, it saw the Supreme One finally defeat the giant and storm into the dark temple ahead.

"We must lead our people to rise again!"

Kerruk roared, using his last strength to transform the escaped Fiend of Doubt within him into a black and white orb of light and smash it into the dark passage. His other brothers inherited his will, and the Clarity One, Iyokuk, grabbed the power of the Fiend of Doubt and flashed into the darkness.

No one chased after them.

Apart from General Staghelm, no one here could move. Even Kane and Hamuul, the two tankiest fighters, were now leaning against the wall, panting heavily. Of all the heroes who had fought to the death, only Windhunter and Gluttonous Locust remained.

Considering that the Gluttonous Locust was defeated by the Two-Headed Swarm Tyrant, their actual achievement was only that of the Windrider.

But the fact that a group of legends, led by three demigods, managed to defeat two of the seven demigods in a team battle already shows that they had indeed done their best.

"Don't rush to die, your fate isn't over yet!"

General Staghelm used the Sha-stained Divine Weapon to tear open a rift leading to the Sea of ​​No Light, throwing the struggling Windrider into it.

Kerruk's feeble resistance.

It didn't want to fall into the Shadow Chaser swarm and become a monster like the Unharmed Tyrant, but unfortunately, it wasn't up to it.

"retreat!"

Staghelm did not pursue them into the dark passage ahead; their mission to hold off the enemy was complete.

One by one, the defensive amber pieces shattered. The Shadow Hunters, having recovered somewhat, dragged their heavily wounded comrades away. Old Chen pointed to the passage behind them.

他 说:

"Monkey King, it's gone after him!"

"Don't worry about it. After all, it was created by the Lightforger himself. The Sha can't do anything about it."

Deer Helmet pulled up his hood and helped Old Chen walk out.

When they finally arrived at the entrance to the underground tunnel, they saw a golden light bloom before their eyes, and Diakum, riding the Wings of the Sun, descended from the sky.

But he wasn't holding Ashbringer in his hand; instead, he had the hilt of a cross-shaped sword crackling with lightning.

Seeing Dick approach, Old Chen struggled to get something, but the Guardian stopped him, casting a wide-ranging divine decree to keep the wounded alive. Pointing to the Seven Star Palace where the mist had dissipated in the distance, he said:

"Take the warriors there to rest, leave this to me! You faced your fate head-on, you did not yield, you are all worthy! You have glorified Pandaria, and this land is glorious because of you."

"I'll take care of the rest for you."

------

"Ah, great ruler."

The Supreme Being Kolfan swung his crimson crescent battle axe, shattering the heavy seal on the Titan chest before him.

It was so excited that it no longer cared about the four heroes behind it who were fighting off the ferocious Monkey King in the darkness. This Monkey King had come to fulfill his promise to Shao Hao.

It will not allow these damned mantises to resurrect that damned ruler!
Shao Hao spent his entire life fighting against it.
"Stop! I order you to!"

The Monkey King roared and hurled his Staff of Fortune, swinging it around and sending Bloodseeker flying. He also forced back the other three heroes and stepped forward to kill the Supreme Being, but the next second, the Supreme Being opened the heavy Titan Seal Box.

The black aura rushed towards him at that moment, its momentum like ten thousand horses galloping, its coldness like a chilling hell. The Monkey King felt his mind collapsing and crumbling, still maintaining the posture of swinging his staff, but the image of the strongest ancient god from ancient times had already appeared before his eyes.

The seven-eyed black horn, like an evil goat or a dragon, coiled on the earth, with countless serpentine tentacles surging beneath its malevolent body.

Those tentacles penetrate the earth, pierce through rocky celestial bodies, reach the heart of the world, and infuse the world's will with sinister venom.

cancer!

A malignant tumor from the Void!
Surprisingly, the Monkey King's mind was not broken by this Yashaki illusion. Logically speaking, he was only a demigod and not known for his mental strength. Under such a catastrophic illusion, he should have at least fled in fear, if not collapsed.

"Could that damned 'hoop' really work?"

At that moment, the Monkey King suddenly remembered what the annoying Diakum had told him: that as long as the invisible headband was worn, it would make him immune to most mental spells.

However, in this case, simply infecting the immune system is not enough to save it.

The moment the Heart of Darkness appeared, the remaining heroes, including the Supreme One, all knelt down. The malevolent energy they carried surged forth and was uncontrollably absorbed by the Heart of Darkness.

The enormous black heart within the Titan's sealed box seemed to have been nourished, and it even began to beat again tens of thousands of years after its death.

Bang, bang, bang.

The clear beating sound echoed in the ancient, dark temple, like some kind of demonic sound, even making the Monkey King's heart beat in sync.

It could sense that the annoying "familiar feeling" was coming again!

This dark heart needs a "vessel".
Blanch!
Don't come again!
Lao Tzu sealed away the Demon of Pride for ten thousand years, having already had enough of this suffering.

However, the Monkey King was controlled by Y'Shaarj's dark heart, making it unable to dodge at this moment. As if it were under a spell, it maintained its swinging posture and passively endured the infusion of dark power.

"Hey! You idiot, why do you always run into such terrible things? Is it because you've done too many wicked things that you're having bad luck?"

Just as the Monkey King was in a state of mental confusion and hallucinations, that annoying voice rang in his ears like heavenly music.

It never imagined that it would one day be so grateful to Diakum, the bastard who had done such terrible things to it. As the golden light shone before its eyes, the Monkey King quickly recovered from the illusion that had gripped him.

It's quite bold!
Like other monkeys, he had the guts of a tiger and even planned to use the Staff of Fortune to smash the Heart of Darkness, but he was grabbed by the scruff of his neck by Diakum in his giant form and thrown out of the Dark Hall with a wave of his hand.

“Take that progenitor of the Mogu outside with you and send him to Thunder Isle another day. The Ugu will need him.”

With a wave of his hand, the gate to this dark place was quickly closed.

他 说:

"Go ahead. If it's not me who goes out, remember to immediately call for the Gemini to launch an orbital strike here! But I estimate that such a situation is unlikely to occur."

after all
Y'Shaarj is dead; all that's left here is a monstrous, black heart.

"Tch, what a load of bull."

The Monkey King scratched his ears and cursed a few times, but dared not go forward to cause trouble. It had already been proven that he could not do any harm to a monster of the level of Yashaji. So he picked up the fallen Mogu progenitor and quickly left the tunnel.

Demons can possess others.

Therefore, the Monkey King must ensure that there is no other life in the area where Y'Shaarj and the Vigilant are fighting, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain, and it will be Pandaria that suffers.

In that dark hall, Ya Sha Ji, who had failed to capture the Monkey King's heart, immediately chose a "backup plan".

Amidst agonizing screams, the body of the Supreme Being Kolfan was once again lifted and suspended in mid-air.

The pulsating Dark Heart hovered before its chest, and as the black mist spread, Y'Shaarj's ancient form, based on the Supreme Being's tempered body, rapidly expanded and reappeared with the pulsation of the Dark Heart.

In fact, there is not much difference between the other evil spirits, or rather, the true form of the evil spirits is generated based on the appearance of the Yashaji.

However, the merging of the seven evil spirits allowed the evil energy around this guy to barely recover to the kind of mental power controlled by the "seven-headed giant beast". There was no distinction between any negative emotions. As long as one was enveloped by this power, life would fall into all kinds of demonic obstacles.

It bared its teeth and roared at Diakum.

While not as powerful and invincible as the seven-headed behemoth that once forced the Titans to personally remove, Diakum was only a "minor demigod," so the two were now roughly equal.

The resurrected Y'Shaarj swung its heavy, smoke-like Sha claws down at Diakum.

Amidst the hymns of the cherubs, the Vigilant transformed into the Holy Spirit of Light, gently swung the Emperor's Fallen Sword in his hand, and amidst the surging thunder and lightning, blue arcs of light burst forth from the hilt, making Diakum appear as if the Thunder God had descended to earth.

The divine sword swung, and the giant claw cleaved down.

A deep tearing sound echoed, and the shattering of the malevolent smoke forced the holy light to dim.

The first exchange was evenly matched. Diakum swung the thundersword he had forged for the divine constructs, glanced at Y'Shaarj's shattered claws, and slightly acknowledged the sword's destructive power.

He then assumed the starting stance of the Enemy-Slaying Sword Technique and shouted loudly:
"The mantises call you 'the Overlord,' and they genuinely believe you can manipulate the world, but in reality, you can't! Even during the Dark Empire era, you failed to annihilate the other three ancient gods."

exactly
The Shadow Chaser swarm also regards me as their 'god'!
One swarm god is enough; after all, they will be of great use to me in the future. Unlike you, who holds such a promising servant as the Mantid and has left behind a shadow of the Sha, yet you only think about resurrection.
Selfish, stubborn, foolish, and pathetic.

You old ghost!

Go back to your grave and behave yourself!
This is no longer your era. Stop wandering around this unwelcome world and making a fool of yourself.
