After descending the mountain, my aloof fiancée became completely devoted to me.

His eyes were already bloodshot, and he was willing to destroy his own cultivation in order to kill Lin Ping and shatter this world!

Endless holy light stacked up wildly, and the power of destruction surged layer by layer.

Lin Ping's eyes flashed with a sharp light, knowing that if this attack were to completely explode...

The entire territory was destroyed, the earth's veins collapsed, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people perished instantly.

He can withstand a decisive blow, but this fragile human world cannot withstand a clash between supreme beings of the ancient level!

"Protect all directions!"

Lin Ping spoke in a low, deep voice.

He raised his hand to suppress all the four women's defenses and stepped forward alone.

He shielded Zhu Xiaohan, Wanyue, Alu, and Shen Aoxue behind him.

He then mobilized all his rebellious origins, unleashing his eons of cultivation, supreme Dao fruit, and the power of the dual seals!

All power was no longer used for attack; it was all gathered together and transformed into a thick curtain of light that covered the land for hundreds of miles.

He single-handedly withstood the devastating impact of the entire arena!

Using his own Dao foundation as a shield, he protected the earth's veins and all mortals under heaven!

"I will bear all the calamities alone!"

Boom—!!

The ultimate kill exploded!

The violent black and white energy devoured everything, and a raging storm swept across the heavens and earth.

A blinding ray of light obscured the sun and moon, plunging the entire world into extreme turmoil and darkness.

Lin Ping stood at the center of the storm, his body trembling violently, his white clothes torn to shreds by the violent force.

His internal organs were all shattered, and his soul suffered a devastating blow unlike anything he had ever experienced in a million years.

He gritted his teeth and braced himself against the barrier of heaven and earth, refusing to yield an inch.

He allowed the destructive power to relentlessly erode his foundation, soul, and physical body.

One drop, two drops, countless drops of essence and blood gushed from his seven orifices.

The foundation of his supreme Dao was cracking inch by inch, and his cultivation over countless ages was collapsing layer by layer.

He sacrificed everything of his own to single-handedly stop the apocalyptic catastrophe that would destroy humanity.

The tremors gradually subsided, and the destructive storm slowly dissipated.

The world returned to peace.

Lin Ping's tall and straight body could no longer support him.

Everything went black before my eyes, and all my strength was completely drained.

His body plummeted straight down, crashing heavily into the rubble, and he fell into a deep coma.

Consciousness, utterly silenced.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

The dim, noisy atmosphere and the pervasive smell of disinfectant slowly seeped into my mind.

My eyelids felt incredibly heavy, as if they were being pressed down by a massive boulder.

After a long while, Lin Ping finally managed to open his eyes.

My vision was blurred, my head was throbbing, and every muscle and bone in my body ached.

He lay on a clean white hospital bed, surrounded by ordinary hospital wards.

Sunlight streamed through the window, warm and peaceful.

The surrounding voices were hushed and orderly.

Everything was quiet and peaceful, without any trace of the cataclysmic events or the fierce battle between the supreme beings.

Lin Ping breathed slightly, struggling to turn his neck.

The first thing that flashed through my mind was four familiar figures.

Zhu Xiaohan.

Late moon.

Alu.

Shen Aoxue.

And there are those who have been by my side all the way, through thick and thin.

Where are they...?

His voice was hoarse and dry as he murmured softly.

My memory is stuck on the moment the final catastrophe exploded.

He remembered that he protected everyone and the entire land.

He also remembered that the four women were protected behind him, in a safe area.

But at this moment, I am all alone, with nothing at all.

There was no familiar warmth, no gentle figure.

In the huge ward, he was all alone.

An extreme sense of panic and unease suddenly rose in my heart.

Lin Ping braced himself on his arms, trying to sit up.

He was in excruciating pain all over his body, his limbs were weak and sore, and he was extremely weak.

He looked at the nurse passing by and asked with difficulty.

"Excuse me... what happened to the four girls who came with me?"

"Where are they? Are they injured?"

The nurse paused for a moment, looking at him with suspicion.

"What? Four girls? Patient, are you confused from the earthquake?"

"This was just a sudden magnitude 4 earthquake in the south, with slight geological shaking and no serious injuries."

"You were rescued from the rubble halfway up the mountain by rescuers alone; you were all by yourself the entire time."

earthquake?

Lin Ping's pupils contracted sharply, and his head throbbed.

An earth-shattering, eternal war between supreme beings, and an extraterrestrial catastrophe that annihilated the world.

To the average person, was it just an ordinary earthquake in the south?

Everyone has forgotten that earth-shattering battle!

They forgot the extraterrestrial demons, the Holy Light Temple, and everything he fought to protect!

What about Zhu Xiaohan and the others...?

Where did they go?!

Was it buried under the ruins of the Lin family villa?!

A wave of panic washed over Lin Ping, and he could no longer lie still.

He abruptly threw off the covers, ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, and staggered out of bed.

The moment his feet touched the ground, his body went limp, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

He gritted his teeth and braced himself against the edge of the bed, forcing himself to stand firm.

My mind was in a hurry; I just wanted to rush to the ruins and find my beloved.

But just then...

He suddenly became aware of himself!

My dantian is completely empty!

The meridians are dried up and lifeless!

The two World-Destroying Seals between his brows have completely disappeared!

The six eternal paths have vanished without a trace!

His supreme cultivation level allowed him to sweep across the heavens and crush all races.

Everything vanished, completely reduced to zero!

His cultivation was completely destroyed!

He fell from being the only supreme being who defied the Dao throughout the ages to becoming an ordinary mortal with no power to even kill a chicken!

Lin Ping stood frozen in place, his heart turning ice-cold.

The catastrophe has come to an end.

They protected humanity.

They protected all living beings.

But he lost all his beloved ones and lost all his invincible cultivation.

I have nothing!

Seeing his pale and frantic state, the nurse quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Sir, please slow down! You are severely overworked, with multiple fractures, and you must rest in bed!"

Lin Ping pushed away the hand that was helping him, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse and stubborn.

"I'm going to find them."

"They must still be in the ruins, still waiting for me!"

He staggered as he walked step by step toward the door of the ward.

Even if one's cultivation is completely destroyed, even if one's physical body is severely injured.

He also wants to search the entire ruins to find Zhu Xiaohan, Wanyue, Alu, and Shen Aoxue!

Even if it takes the rest of my life, I will never give up!

What he didn't know was...

At this moment, a hundred miles away from Jiangcheng, in a secluded ancient temple deep in the mountains.

The four women stood calmly, their breathing completely intact.

They were neither buried nor missing.

Just as the catastrophe ended, they were forcibly teleported away by an unknown, supreme power that descended from nowhere and transcended eternity!

Zhu Xiaohan gazed in the direction of Jiangcheng, her eyes filled with heartache and anxiety.

"That power isolated the memory of heaven and earth and blocked the perception of time and space."

"We can't find our husband's presence, and he can't sense us either."

Wan Yue's fingertips trembled, and the Great Dao of Time and Space was operating at full power, but it could not penetrate that unknown barrier.

"Someone is secretly plotting to separate us from our husbands."

Aru's eyes reddened, and she gritted her teeth, clenching her fists tightly: "He exhausted his cultivation to protect the world, and now his cultivation is completely gone, all alone. How difficult must it be for him?"

Shen Aoxue lowered her eyes to look at the faint, last remaining thread of her natal bond in her palm, and spoke softly.

"The bond remains unbroken; he is still alive."

"But the game played by those in the shadows has only just begun."

"This time, the target is to cripple the Supreme Being and eliminate the isolated and helpless Lin Ping!"

Deep within the ancient temple in the mountains, a blurry black figure slowly opened its eyes.

A deep, ancient, eerie laugh that seemed to echo through the ages quietly reverberated through the mountains and forests.

"The supreme beings of the heavens have fallen to the mortal realm, their cultivation destroyed, and their beloved ones separated from them."

"The perfect piece has finally returned to the chessboard..."
