All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Just then, another figure slowly stood up. He was a man dressed in black named Zhao Feng, who possessed the ability to control flames. After recovering his strength, he reached the seventh level of the Breaking Realm. His body was engulfed in raging flames, and even though he was seriously injured, the flames remained intensely hot.

"Blazing flames engulf the heavens!"

Zhao Feng shouted, and the flames around him instantly surged, transforming into a massive pillar of fire that slammed fiercely towards the moon cluster. Within the flames was the intense belief and determination of an Earth wanderer, scorching the surrounding source energy.

Yuequn's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to condense a source energy barrier to block the attack of the fire pillar. However, the temperature of the flames was extremely high, and even the source energy barrier of the Shattered Realm was scorched and slightly hot, with fine cracks appearing.

"Is this ever going to end?!"

Yuequn's eyes were filled with impatience and anger. She hadn't expected that these surviving Earthlings would have so many special abilities, repeatedly interfering with her and delaying her.

She suddenly unleashed all the power of the Shattered Realm within her body. The pale purple source power intertwined with the power of moonlight, forming a massive storm that swept fiercely towards Zhao Feng, Su Ran, and the other surviving wanderers of Earth.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Su Ran shouted sharply, exerting all her strength and urging her mental power to warn those around her, but the storm was too fast, and there was no time to dodge.

Just then, an old figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He was an old man with white hair named Li Lao, an alchemist who also possessed a rare defensive ability. After recovering his strength, he reached the eighth level of the Breaking Realm.

Old Li gritted his teeth, used the last bit of his essence, and activated his defensive ability, forming a thick golden defensive barrier around his body to block the storm attack from the moon swarm.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar erupted, and the golden defensive barrier trembled violently, revealing massive cracks. Elder Li shuddered, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen. Yet, he stubbornly held on, refusing to let the barrier shatter.

"Old Li!"

The surviving travelers looked at Old Li, who was standing in front of them, with eyes full of grief and respect. They knew that Old Li had done his best, and this barrier would not last much longer.

Old Li slowly turned his head, looked at his children behind him, a relieved smile on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Children... hold on... you must... you must buy time for Shi Si..."

"We...we can do it..."

Su Ran, Zhao Feng, and the other surviving wanderers spoke in unison, their eyes filled with determination. They all exerted all their strength, urging the remaining power within their bodies to pour their power into Elder Li's defensive barrier, helping Elder Li to resist the attack of the moon swarm.

In an instant, the golden defensive barrier became even thicker, barely managing to block the storm attack from the moon swarm.

Yuequn watched this scene with eyes filled with boundless rage. She never expected that these ant-like wanderers of Earth would be so tenacious. Even though they were seriously injured and on the verge of death, they still did not back down and continued to desperately stall for time.

"A bunch of ignorant ants!"

Yuequn shouted fiercely, and the power of shattering the world around her surged once again. She suddenly raised her hand, and a huge pale purple moon blade condensed, more powerful than ever before. With earth-shattering power, it slammed fiercely towards the golden defensive barrier.

"Click—click—"

The golden defensive barrier cracked wider and wider under the attack of the moon blade, emitting a crisp cracking sound. Old Li trembled all over, spitting out blood continuously, as his life force was rapidly being depleted.

"Hold on... just hold on..."

Old Li gritted his teeth and silently prayed to himself. He knew he couldn't hold on much longer, but he couldn't give up. He had to buy more time for Shi Si and more hope for the wanderers of Earth.

Su Ran, Zhao Feng, and the others had also exhausted all their strength. Their faces were growing paler and their breaths were becoming weaker, but they still did not give up and continued to pour their last bit of power into the defensive barrier.

On the ground, Wang He watched this scene with deep emotion in his eyes. With his last ounce of strength, he shouted to Elder Li and the others, "Keep going...you...you can definitely hold on...Shi Si...Shi Si will break through soon..."

Mingluo lay amidst the ruins, looking at Elder Li and the others, his eyes filled with relief and emotion. He knew that these wanderers of Earth had used their lives and their perseverance to protect Shisi, the Heavenly Palace, and the hope of returning home.

They are not ants, they are heroes, heroes of the wanderers of Earth, heroes of the Heavenly Palace!

Above the Heavenly Palace, the golden defensive barrier was already covered with cracks and could shatter completely at any moment. Elder Li and the others had also reached their limit, covered in injuries, their breaths extremely weak, and even standing was a luxury.

A sinister smile flashed in Yuequn's eyes. She once again activated the power of the Shattering Realm within her body, launching a final assault on the golden defensive barrier. She wanted to shatter the barrier completely, kill these tenacious wanderers of Earth, and then kill Shi Si to end this battle.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the golden defensive barrier shattered instantly, and a tremendous impact swept towards Elder Li and the others.

"Pfft—pfft—pfft—"

Old Li and the others were struck by the impact, spitting out large amounts of blood. Their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground. They could no longer struggle to get up, their breaths were extremely weak, and they were barely clinging to life.

Old Li lay on the ground, looking at Shi Si in the sky, a relieved smile on his face. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, his breath completely dissipating—he had burned out his own essence, giving his life to buy Shi Si a final moment.

"Old Li!"

Su Ran, Zhao Feng, and the others cried out, their eyes filled with grief, but they no longer had the strength to stand up and fight off the Moon Swarm's attacks.

The moon floated in the void, looking at the carnage below with a smug grin in her eyes. She slowly turned around and looked at Shi Si, who was suspended in mid-air, her tone icy: "Shi Si, your last batch of reinforcements is also finished."

"This time, no one can protect you anymore, no one can buy you time, you are doomed!"

She flashed and instantly appeared in front of Shi Si. The power of shattering the world in her hand had been condensed to its limit. The pale purple light blade, carrying the power to destroy the world, slammed fiercely towards the core of the golden light shield.

The golden light shield was already extremely fragile. If it were hit again, it would shatter completely, and Shi Si would be instantly killed by the power of the Shattering Realm.

Wang He lay on the ground, watching Shi Si about to be hit, his eyes filled with despair. He tried to struggle to get up and stand in front of Shi Si again, but his body wouldn't obey him. He could only watch helplessly as the shadow of death enveloped Shi Si.

Su Ran, Zhao Feng, and the others closed their eyes, their eyes filled with resentment. They had given their all and made countless sacrifices, but they still couldn't stop Yue Qun, and they still couldn't buy Shi Si enough time to break through.

Mingluo's eyes were filled with blood and tears. He mustered his last bit of strength and let out a weak roar, trying to wake Shi Si and stop Yue Qun, but all of this was in vain.

The light blades of the moon cluster drew ever closer, now only half an inch from the core of the golden light shield. The pressure of the power of shattering the world had completely invaded Shi Si's body. Shi Si's body began to tremble slightly, his face turned as pale as paper, and his aura almost completely dissipated.

At this critical moment, Shi Si, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly underwent a tremendous change in his aura!
