The Last Sentinel

Outside the East Heavenly Gate, the sounds of battle shook the heavens!

The roar of the railguns was deafening as a hundred planetary-level warships fired their quantum railguns in unison.

Hundreds of blue-purple orbital beams converged in mid-air into a terrifying beam of light shaped like a dragon, which swept down with overwhelming force!

The Dongtianmen camp activated its barrier in full force, with layers of barriers frantically colliding and converging with the quantum orbital cannon.

In an instant, the array's cores exploded one after another, shattering the once impenetrable barrier.

The moment the protective barrier dissipated, the Heavenly Court's Mengyu warship soared into the sky and clashed head-on with the high-level martial arts spaceship fleet.

Two seas of light collided, turning half the sky white. Swords and machine guns clashed, spells and rays intertwined, tearing the clouds to shreds.

Banners fluttered like clouds, and the celestial aura vanished in an instant.

Blue light spread, and the warriors stepped forward.

A real man fights with his crew.

The boarding craft swarmed into the celestial array like locusts, sparks flying. Magnetic locks on the feet of their power armor jammed the deck, and the warriors trampled over the shattered armor, their gun barrels flashing blue light, riddling the entire celestial wall with holes. In the frigid vacuum, there were no screams, only the piercing roar of quantum engines tearing back and forth, the entire sky scorched a steely blue. Whoever feared first, would die first.

In contrast to the bright white silver-armored immortal soldiers of the Heavenly Court, the Yanhuang Iron Brigade wore special power armor that was entirely frost-black and ice-blue, and was resistant to freezing and extreme cosmic temperatures.

Although this power armor is not a limited-edition hero-level star armor, its compatible body, genetically modified by the frigid northern frontier of Mercury in the solar system, can withstand sub-zero interstellar cold and greatly reduce damage from the immortal's primordial spirit magic.

"kill!"

As the leader of the Yanhuang Battle Group, a giant ten meters tall, wielding a pulse-vibration battle halberd, charged ahead, heading straight for the central command flag of the Heavenly Court.

"Charge!"

The cultivators and sorcerers suddenly raised their hands, and layers of protective barriers were about to rise again.

"Pulse Cannon!"

A ten-meter giant fell from the sky, its wounded pulse halberd crashing to the ground with a thunderous roar. The ground exploded violently, and countless pulse particle shockwaves hissed and instantly filled the entire alchemist camp. The cultivators were pierced through by the blue pulse particle streams, their robes and magic garments instantly shattering, and their white skeletons were almost faintly visible.

The few sorcerers at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before they turned into blue particles and scattered into the wind. The giant halberd warrior trampled over the wreckage, crushing through the formation. The vibrating particles at the tip of his halberd lit up in circles, like a ferocious beast unleashed. Blood and dust rolled out in a long dragon behind him.

"Your opponent is me! Roar!"

The ground trembled, and a dark figure appeared behind the giant halberd warrior.

The dark figure seemed to rise from nowhere like a mountain, each step it took cracking the ground, and its pungent, murderous aura could be smelled from afar.

The giant halberd warrior's tactical helmet suddenly spun, releasing a ripple effect, activating a god-like perspective, and the retinal sniping psionic enhancement module was activated!

The giant halberd warrior leaped into the air, and his halberd instantly stretched and transformed into a pulsed star-falling crossbow!

The blue figure left a visible trail!

The giant spirit soldier's terrifying body, a full hundred meters long, was fast, but it was extremely slow in the face of this vector-like tail-whip-level movement speed!

"Haha, bigger isn't always better; it's about finding what suits you best."

"I'm ten meters tall, not because I can only grow to ten meters, but because this height is where I can unleash my peak fighting power!"

"Take this arrow, and the stars will fall!"

The giant halberd warrior flew backwards into the sky, his quantum pulse falling star crossbow being pulled back to its full length. Terrifying quantum pulse particles continuously gathered at the tip of the blue crossbow, and with a sudden arrow, the entire battlefield was illuminated!

Blue and white arrows shot down from the sky like meteors, leaving a terrifying shockwave and flames stretching for hundreds of kilometers as they descended from the heavens!

The giant spirit soldiers blocking the way were instantly vaporized, and the cultivators who were blocking the way along the road were also completely shattered by this arrow. The entire camp in front of the East Heavenly Gate was almost split in two!

The terrifying shockwave roared and raged; the front camp had been breached, the central army was in dire straits, but the rear camp remained eerily quiet.

An eerie silence reigned. The roar of the front lines seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible barrier here, leaving only the wind swirling fine snowflakes, each one landing on the blood-stained, still-wet blue bricks. The snowflakes, catching the faint mist of blood, dissolved into pale pink vapor in mid-air. Two pairs of figures faced each other ten paces apart, neither making the first move.

The wind blows through the snowflakes, and at the desolate edge of the rear tent, two couples are facing off.

Tian En was panting heavily, his immortal robes torn, and a bloody gash marred his flawless left cheek. He leaned on his sword, his eyes fixed on Qi Tian as if he wanted to devour him alive. Blood slid down the gash into his collar, but he didn't even wipe it away, his fingertips turning slightly white. His Adam's apple bobbed, suppressing the rising bloody smell, and his knuckles cracked from gripping the sword too tightly.

His long, flowing blue hair danced in the wind, and his blue-gold Aquarius Saint Cloth radiated a cold, aloof brilliance. He seemed utterly unconcerned with Tian En, his gaze sweeping over Wu Xinxin, who was fighting nearby. He didn't even consider Tian En a match; his composure was more piercing than a blade. The golden particles surrounding him floated lazily, as if he disdained to expend any effort for the person before him.

Wu Xinxin was wielding her cherry blossom spear and frantically chasing after the lustful immortal official.

The Lustful Immortal Official is actually quite powerful, especially when facing men, where his destructive power doubles.

But Wu Xinxin is a woman, and her lust and fighting ability are directly lacking.

Women are the most ruthless when they hit other women!

Wu Xinxin's spear moved like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix; each swing left a trail of terrifying phoenix light, forcing the lustful immortal official into a steady retreat. Her eyes remained completely calm, as if she were clearing away an eyesore. Amidst the flashing spear shadows, the lustful immortal's flowing sleeves were torn to shreds, revealing his snow-white lining.

"Qi Tian!" Tian En wiped the bloodstains from his face and said in a clear voice, "Before I came here, I went to the Tushita Palace to ask for a divination."

Qi Tian asked, "What kind of divination?"

Tian En said, "The world's heroes rise and fall with the tides of history; calamities have turned to ashes today. Our destiny still has many years ahead of us; there is no need for sorrow today."

Qi Tian paced back and forth: "I have only heard the saying that heroes rise and fall with the times, and once you enter the world of martial arts, time flies by. Imperial ambitions and great achievements are discussed in jest, and nothing beats a good drink in this world."

Tian En laughed heartily: "You're just a local mortal, you don't even know how to interpret divination, but you can understand that my divination shows the calamities have dissipated today, my lifespan hasn't ended, I'm safe and sound, and there's absolutely no danger to my life. You can't kill me today!"

Qi Tian crossed his arms over his chest, his metal shoulder armor radiating beams of particle cannon light: "Did I say I was going to kill you today?"

Tianen was stunned: "You, you're not going to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you?" Qi Tian said, "You are the reincarnation of the Three Pure Ones' benevolent corpses. If I kill you, I'll have to find new benevolent corpses later, which is too troublesome."

"What we need to kill is lust."

The lustful immortal official on one side could no longer contain herself: "Lord Qitian, we are complete strangers, merely enemies on opposing sides. In truth, I deeply admire you, and if possible, I would be willing to form a marriage alliance with you..."

"Get lost!" Wu Xinxin's spear flashed like a rainbow: "I'm not dead yet! You vixen, die!"

The lustful immortal official said, "Being a concubine is also acceptable..."

Before the words were even finished, the wind from the spear had already arrived. Wu Xinxin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she no longer held back. The power and laws on the spear tip exploded in circles, causing the Lustful Immortal Official's protective robes to flutter loudly. He staggered back three steps before finally regaining his footing.

Seeing this scene, Tian En suddenly thought of something, leaped up, and actually blocked Wu Xinxin's path.

In that instant, the light in Tian En's eyes suddenly narrowed—he suddenly understood something, something heavier than victory or defeat weighed on his heart, making him disregard his injuries and stand up.

Qi Tian's figure blurred as he suddenly blocked Tian En's path. "What do you want to do?"

Tian En looked at the Gold Saints so close to him and said, enunciating each word clearly, "I know what you're doing!"

"The fate of Heaven is fixed."

"To activate the Five Mage Masters, all seven of the most outstanding prodigies must be sacrificed!"

"By the same token, to force the Four Emperors to leave the pass, we must sacrifice the Five Dharma Envoys!"

"If the Three Pure Ones are to emerge from seclusion, the Four Emperors must be sacrificed!"

"Ye Feng, your ultimate goal is to kill the celestial officials one by one, control the strength of the Heavenly Court's experts, and use their strength to power up his dragon egg!"

By the end, Tian En's voice was hoarse, but his eyes shone with an eerie light. Every word he spoke was strung together in a very short time, like red-hot chains locking the entire game before his eyes. The wind ruffled his tattered immortal robes, revealing a series of interwoven old and new scars.

Qi Tian laughed: "I have to say, as the reincarnation of the Three Pure Ones' good corpse, you understand so quickly, which is truly impressive. But you must also understand that once you know something, it's too late to turn back. My senior brother will inevitably transform into a dragon, and no one can stop him."

I want to give it a try.

Tian En raised his hands, touching the tips of his middle fingers together, and interlocking his ring and little fingers; his index fingers extended straight outwards, and his two thumbs pressed against his palms. The mudra resembled a crescent moon.

A thin layer of pale silver mist rose around him, and the love, hate, fear, and anger surging in his heart began to slowly sink.

Tian En's voice rang out: "The highest form of enlightenment transcends all emotions, and its pure spirit endures forever."

"The seven emotions return to stillness, and the six desires are sealed off."

"With my spiritual acupoint, I unite with the boundless Dao."

"Undisturbed by worldly affairs, my true self remains!"

The moment the incantation was cast, a silver-white light appeared between Tian En's brows. The light spread throughout his body along his meridians, and a huge, semi-transparent, silver-white wave of oblivion spread out from you. Wherever the wave swept, all physical attacks, energy ripples, and radiation rules were instantly mentalized, and the entire battlefield suddenly turned into an ocean of negative emotions!

In that instant, all the struggle on Tian En's face vanished. The bloodstain at the corner of his eye remained, but his gaze was as empty as a deep pool—he wasn't casting a spell; he was dismantling himself piece by piece, turning him into a stone devoid of love and hate. Where the silvery ripples spread, even the particle light on the Qitian Armor visibly dimmed for a moment. The wind stopped, and the snow seemed to freeze in mid-air.

"The Supreme Being descends upon the world, severing all delusions and desires; all illusory connections are shattered, and all laws return to purity; with the severing of all emotions, all evils vanish..."

Tian En's incantation was interrupted!

The immense golden power descended from the sky, mercilessly striking Tian En's face: "Trying to self-destruct? No way!"

Before the Heavenly Grace, a white halo was released, and the Lustful Immortal Official suddenly stepped in front of him!

With a single punch, Qi Tian completely shattered Lust's body. Under the erosion of the higher-dimensional power, Lust's fate was exactly the same as that of Fury—completely obliterated without leaving a trace!

So fast that even light couldn't catch up. Lust's body was torn apart like brittle paper, yet she showed no intention of dodging. Instead, she turned to the side, shielding Tian En tightly. In the instant of shattering, a faint smile lingered on her lips, a smile devoid of resentment, but rather as if she had finally waited for something. Her voice was as swift as the wind: "Live on, even if it's just for me..."

Tianen stared blankly at the withering lust before him, momentarily stunned.

Wu Xinxin was also stunned: "No, how could Lust die for him? They don't seem to know each other at all..."

Qi Tian said, "They know each other. Look at Tian En's appearance, they know each other, and they have a deep bond."

Wu Xinxin looked at Tian En.

Tianen used forbidden power, the power of the last good corpse of the Three Pure Ones, and everything began to fade away. The seals of the past were broken, and the power of the Supreme Forgetfulness Curse dissipated from Tianen. Some past memories gathered towards Tianen like a tide.

Looking at the withering lust, Tianen seemed to remember something and shouted, "Xiaolou! I remember! We have a nine-life bond!"

"The Supreme Being said, as long as there is a tenth generation, we can be together!"

"I remember now!"

"May the Supreme Lord curse you to be a prostitute for eternity, so that I may never see you again, never remember you!"

"I remember everything..."

His voice trembled more and more as he shouted, until it was almost impossible to tell if he was shouting or crying. He staggered forward two steps, his fingertips reaching for the dissipating white halo, but he couldn't grasp anything. A thousand years of memories flooded his mind like a burst dam, every frame showing her. He finally understood why he always dreamed of that lamp.

The figure of the lustful immortal official gradually shattered, and she raised her hand to stroke Tian En's cheek: "Thank you, Supreme Lord, for granting us this lifetime..."

The two embraced, and Wu Xinxin put away her spear: "Living like this is more painful than dying."

Fine snow fell on the two embracing figures, their warmth indistinguishable. The last glimmer of light faded in Tian'en's palm; he opened his mouth, but ultimately uttered no more words. The wind wept for him for a while, then fell silent.

Qi Tian turned around, his Golden Throne Cloth shining brightly like a star: "What is the Dao?"

"Make the proudest kneel down and beg for mercy."

"Let the brightest light sink into wickedness."

"To utterly disgrace one's most esteemed self-esteem."

"Let the most selfish sacrifice themselves for the greater good."

"Let those who are most afraid of pain suffer the agony of being slowly sliced ​​to death."

"Let the most cherished wither on the spot."

"Let those who are best at scheming be devoured in the end."

"Let the pursuit of perfection lead to a life of solitude."

"Let a prostitute who has been slept with by millions die from an inviolable love."

"This is the damn Dao of the Three Pure Ones, the so-called Great Dao promoted by the Heavenly Court!"

"And what my senior brother has to do is smash this path!"

"You agree, don't you? The Supreme Good Corpse!"

Each word struck the snow. Qi Tian's voice was calm, yet colder than a roar. His golden eyes reflected Tian En's disheveled state, as if he were watching a pre-written play.

When he said the word "prostitute," he spoke very slowly, as if he were chewing each word up and swallowing it.

Tian En stared intently at Qi Tian, ​​then, in the next moment, picked up a hairpin from the lustful Heavenly Official Xiao Lou and leaped up: "You killed Xiao Lou, and I will kill you! But before that, I must kill the Supreme Evil Corpse and my true self!"

The hairpin was gripped tightly in his palm, piercing his hand and drawing blood, yet he clenched it even tighter. As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of silver light, soaring towards the sky. That light was swift and fierce, as if it wanted to tear a gash through the entire heavens.

Qi Tian stared silently in the direction Tian En had disappeared, his golden armor gleaming. Snow continued to fall, landing on his shoulder armor before sliding off without a sound.

The wind carried the last breath of the hairpin's owner, swirling around his fingertips before dissipating.

He lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
