Chapter 1839: The Final Trump Card

"You're very clever! And you know when to yield!"

Seeing that a single sentence had made an Ancient Sage rebel, the "Deity" smiled lightly, showing satisfaction, and looked at the others again: "What about you?"

"I..."

The three Ancient Sages summoned by Chenyong Emperor trembled all over, not knowing how to answer.

Victory was clearly at hand, but the appearance of such a powerful being left them with no choice.

"Yong Emperor, I'm sorry. This time, it's not that I won't help you... I'll repay your kindness in the next life!"

After pausing for a few breaths, another Ancient Sage turned and flew toward the "Deity."

"Faced with life and death, whatever choice you make is fine..."

Shaking his head, Chenyong Emperor looked at the remaining two Ancient Sages.

But both met his gaze simultaneously: "Having lived so long, we've long grown weary. If we can die at the hands of a Deity of the Heavens, it's enough to leave our names in history—worth the trip! Yong Emperor, you saved me; I'll stand with you to the end."

"Me too. I, Jinta Ancient Sage, promised you, and never planned to return alive..."

Some feared death, but others were truly loyal and righteous.

Even among the Alien Spirit Clan, there were those of loyalty and righteousness.

"Thank you..."

Seeing that they were willing to stand by him even knowing death was certain, Chenyong Emperor was filled with gratitude. He looked at Huoxu Ancient Sage.

"What are you looking at me for? I fear neither heaven nor earth; what I fear most is last-minute changes. So what if it's a Deity of the Heavens? If it wants to kill me, it'll have to shed a layer of skin!"

Huoxu Ancient Sage sneered coldly, his teeth gleaming.

Having received his master's kindness, he naturally had to stand with him to the end.

"You certainly need no further words..."

Looking again at Moling Ancient Sage and seeing his firm gaze, Chenyong Emperor knew further words were useless. He turned to Zhang Xuan: "Young Master, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Fight to the death, of course!"

Smiling slightly, Zhang Xuan snorted lightly and shook his long spear again.

"Break!"

He shot straight out, the spear like a dragon, with phantom images flashing around him, enveloping the "Deity."

"Attack!"

Knowing there was no retreat, Chenyong Emperor also threw himself forward.

With the six Ancient Sages joining forces, heaven and earth seemed ready to collapse at any moment. The entire Alien Spirit King City trembled like an earthquake; countless buildings collapsed, and various formations and runes dissolved back into spiritual energy, dispersing around them.

Ancient Sage-level experts were terrifyingly powerful—one could destroy countless beings, let alone so many attacking at once.

"A bunch of ants who don't know their place!"

Surrounded in the middle, the "Deity" sneered coldly. With a roll of his hands, without any visible technique, everyone's attacks dissolved into nothing, having no effect.

The Dragon Bone Divine Spear in his hand was flicked three times by the opponent. Blood flowed from Zhang Xuan's tiger's mouth, and his mind stirred.

A book appeared, and then a pair of arms extended from it, reaching straight for the "Deity" before him.

Whoosh!

They collided with the "Deity's" palm. The latter, whose face had remained expressionless, now had eyes that lit up: "A Shattered Void expert?"

Clearly, he saw at a glance the strength the Ruthless One had possessed in life, matching his own—also having reached Shattered Void, and even stronger than his current self.

That such a powerful expert could be born in a place with such thin spiritual energy was almost unbelievable.

"Stay here!"

Taking a deep breath, he reached forward and grabbed.

Rip!

Space was torn apart. The Ruthless One's arms could no longer resist and were bound on the spot.

The Ruthless One's upper body skeleton was now completely assembled, but he still lacked thighs and feet. His true strength was only at the peak of Drip Blood Rebirth. Compared to the opponent, he was far inferior and no match.

"Weakness!"

Seeing the Ruthless One's attack force the opponent to reveal his strength, Zhang Xuan quickly communicated with the Library.

Whoosh!

It shook but no book appeared.

Zhang Xuan's brows jumped.

If they knew the weakness, they might still be able to launch a sneak attack. But if the Library couldn't detect it, how could they fight?

"Could it be that this guy isn't from this world, and the Heavenly Way of this world can't investigate him?"

A thought arose in his mind.

The opponent came from another world, didn't belong to this world's creatures, and was overwhelmingly powerful...

Could that be why it couldn't be investigated?

"Retreat!"

Not knowing the weakness, continuing the fight might lead to everyone's fall. Zhang Xuan gave a low shout, swept his spear, and leaped backward.

Chenyong Emperor and the others had no doubt about his orders and simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks.

Boom!

The sky seemed to explode like a huge firework. The violent air waves made it impossible for anyone within hundreds of meters to approach. As soon as he stopped, Zhang Xuan intended to tear through space and lead everyone to escape, but found it as solid as iron. The opponent seemed to have read his mind; the "Deity" not far away had already completely sealed the space within hundreds of kilometers.

"If I let you escape from before my eyes, I might as well not live..."

Smiling lightly, the "Deity" walked forward slowly, each step giving an irresistible sense of oppression to the heart.

This guy was too strong. In every aspect, he seemed flawless, perfect beyond human.

"Give me the skeleton of that Shattered Void expert, and I'll spare your lives!"

Seeing that the pressure he exerted made everyone dare not flee, the "Deity" smiled lightly.

"Master, you can't let them go..."

His pupils constricting, Chenling Emperor quickly shouted.

"How dare you! Do I need your guidance in my decisions?"

Turning to look, Chenling Emperor was immediately struck heavily and sent flying again. The "Deity" flicked his sleeve and snorted.

"What do you say?"

After dealing with him, the "Deity" looked at Zhang Xuan again.

He had already seen that among the group, the one whose words carried the most weight was this weakest cultivator, and that skeleton also seemed to obey his commands.

"You want the skeleton?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Dream on!"

The Ruthless One had followed him from early on and rendered great service. To hand him over to save his own life... absolutely impossible!

"Then I'll have to be rude..."

Seeing his resolute refusal, the "Deity" sneered, raised his palm, and struck straight at Zhang Xuan.

The universe collapsed; heaven and earth sank.

In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if his spirit and soul were being stripped away, on the verge of utter death.

"Fight to the death... Die!"

Knowing there was nothing left to hold back, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and stirred his mind.

Whoosh!

A book flew out from between his brows, growing with the wind, and in a flash became dozens of feet in size.

The last Heavenly Way Volume!

It had been kept in the Library, unused until now. At this moment, he no longer cared and directly offered it up.

"What is this?"

Seeing that the other party, at death's door and out of options, was trying to smash him with a book, the "Deity" almost laughed himself to death: "Do you think a broken book can affect me? Can it harm me in the slightest? How ridiculous..."

Crack!

Before he finished speaking, it smashed onto his head.

His vision went black, and the "Deity" felt his consciousness begin to dissipate.

Thud!

He fell to the ground, his breath cut off.

"..."

In an instant, all around was dead silent.
