Chapter 1733: Marching to Death
Ling Zhu Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu's expressions grew increasingly ugly. These three Calamity Demon Kings had actually withstood the sealing suppression head-on, torn open the space leading outside the defensive line, and used a summoning formation to draw in other Heterogeneous Kings.
"Intercept them!"
Ling Zhu Xuan shouted sharply, and the allied army of powerful experts stationed here immediately surged forward to meet them.
A chaotic great battle erupted suddenly.
But Ling Zhu Xuan, Xiao Lingzhu, and the others did not dare to be distracted, because they knew these Heterogeneous Kings were merely a means the three Calamity Demon Kings used to divert their attention. Once they lost focus here, the three Calamity Demon Kings would seize the chance to directly destroy the important gateway, the "Ten Provinces Heaven and Earth Wall."
"Hold on!"
Ling Zhu Xuan roared. Her face flushed crimson, and the three-layered King's Crown above her head bloomed with ten thousand dazzling rays of light—this was a sign that her own origin had been pushed to the absolute limit.
And the rest were all the same, not daring to relax in the slightest.
But even though they had already given their all, the three Calamity Demon Kings still stubbornly endured the sealing suppression they imposed, continuously summoning more Heterogeneous Kings to burrow out from the spatial rifts.
The situation was deteriorating bit by bit.
But Ling Zhu Xuan knew that on their side, they had already given everything they had.
This Grand Dean of the Sacred Light Ancient Academy could not help but show a hint of helplessness in her eyes at this moment. Could they really hold back the steps of these three Calamity Demon Kings?
A momentary wavering appeared in Ling Zhu Xuan's eyes, but she quickly bit down hard, steadied her mind, and said in a deep voice: "We must stop the summoning formation from expanding and taking shape!"
The allied powerhouses present exchanged somewhat bewildered glances upon hearing this. They naturally knew that if they didn't stop it, the situation would collapse completely. But if even Ling Zhu Xuan, Xiao Lingzhu, and these peak Three-Crowned Kings were powerless, what could the rest of them do?
"I'll go!"
At this moment, a sudden sharp shout exploded like thunder.
Numerous gazes turned in shock.
It was an old man with graying hair, his features resolute and unyielding. Above his head, a single-layered King's Crown floated like a blazing sun, cascading down pure origin energy.
A One-Crowned King?
Facing three Calamity Demon Kings, what use could a One-Crowned King be?
"Wu Chen, what are you doing?!"
"Grandfather!"
Two shocked cries rang out. If Li Luo were here, he would recognize them—the Vice Dean of Tianyuan Ancient Academy, Wu Yu, and the former Chief of Tianxing Academy, Wu Changkong.
Back when they were at Tianyuan Ancient Academy, there had still been some grudges and entanglements between them.
"Haha, big brother, Changkong, don't stop me. My potential is exhausted, just a broken-down body."
The old man named Wu Chen let out a bold, hearty laugh. The next moment, everyone understood what he intended to do.
Because the King's Crown above his head suddenly blazed up fiercely—this was the ignition of the origin fire at the deepest part of the crown. This fire was fierce and violent; once ignited, it was tantamount to self-immolation.
In an instant, the origin fluctuations emanating from Wu Chen's body suddenly multiplied several times over.
"Wu Chen of the Tianyuan Wu Clan."
"Today, I march to my death!"
Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, Wu Chen's figure shot forth violently, directly like a meteor, wrapped in terrifying, violent origin fluctuations, and slammed head-on into the three Calamity Demon Kings.
Boom!
The next instant, the King's Crown exploded, and a terrifying origin storm swept toward the three Calamity Demon Kings.
Under this sudden, violent bombardment, even the steps the three Calamity Demon Kings had taken were shaken back, and at the same time, the summoning formation behind them had a corner torn off and stopped expanding.
The faces of the Miasma Calamity Demon King, the Greed Calamity Demon King, and the Fear Calamity Demon King froze for a moment, then a look of furious rage surfaced in their eyes. They could not believe that a mere One-Crowned King could shake their forms.
"Ants!" the Fear Calamity Demon King let out a low growl.
In their fury, the evil-thought origin erupting from within the three Calamity Demon Kings grew even more terrifying, and the broken corner of the summoning formation began to rapidly repair itself.
On the Sky-Supporting Bastion, within the Outer Shenzhou allied army, under the silent atmosphere, one, then two, then three, and more figures slowly walked out.
The next moment, one King's Crown after another suddenly blazed up.
Those flames reflected in many people's eyes—they were the fires of ending.
And accompanying the burning of the crowns, one passionate, heroic howl after another also rang out like thunder, reverberating mightily across a million li of the Tianxing Great Plains.
All who heard it could not help but tremble all over, as if lightning surged in from the crown of their heads, stirring towering waves in the deepest depths of their hearts.
"Mo Li of the Xiyan Mo Clan, today I march to my death!"
"Zhou Ye of the Xuanling Ancient Academy, today I march to my death!"
At the position where the Li Li Tianwang clan's strange formation was stationed, several branch leaders watched this scene with trembling hearts. Then Li Li Qingying's expression suddenly changed, because she saw a figure walk out from among them.
It was the branch leader of the Dragon Horn Branch—Li Li Jinjiao!
"Li Li Jinjiao, what are you doing?!" Li Li Qingying said in a trembling voice.
Li Li Jinjiao laughed heartily and said: "If others can go, how can our Li Li Tianwang clan fall behind them?!"
"Everyone, my talent is the poorest. Today, let me win this honor for our Li Li Tianwang clan!"
As his words fell, Li Li Jinjiao's figure shot up into the sky, the crown above his head blazing fiercely, his clear voice ringing out across a million li.
"Li Li Jinjiao of the Li Li Tianwang clan, today I march to my death!"
"......"
With every long howl that rang out, a King's Crown would blaze up, transforming into vast firelight that crashed into the three Calamity Demon Kings.
Like moths to a flame, yet utterly without hesitation.
In the allied army, countless people watched this scene, and the surging, tumultuous emotions in their chests felt as if they would explode.
Boom boom boom!
Terrifying origin fluctuations ravaged the world.
When the origin firelight dissipated, the summoning formation behind the three Calamity Demon Kings had actually been torn to shreds, on the verge of collapse, and even their own bodies had been torn open with some origin wounds.
Ling Zhu Xuan, Xiao Lingzhu, and the others gazed at the scene in grief, while Li Li Tianji's eyes reddened, a look of sorrow surfacing on his face, because their Li Li Tianwang clan had also lost Li Li Jinjiao, the branch leader of the Dragon Horn Branch.
They had never imagined that one day, they would need to use this method to obstruct the enemy's advance.
And most importantly, although the summoning array had been destroyed, preventing subsequent Demon Kings from using it to enter, the three Sin Demon Kings remained unaffected.
Their presence here was so powerful it was enough to make one feel despair.
If they were allowed to stall, the Demon Kings behind would catch up, and by then, this gateway still could not be held.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing Yu Lang's eyes were blood-red. He saw a familiar King-realm powerhouse from the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou Great Xia Alliance self-immolate and explode, which made him unable to contain his surging grief and rage any longer. Gripping his blade, he was about to charge out, while the king's crown above his head also rose with the flames of self-immolation.
But just as he was about to charge out, a small hand reached out from the side and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Seeing Yu Lang turned his head sharply and saw Bai Bai Mengmeng's pale, innocent little face. He immediately roared angrily, "Let go!"
"Don't make my sister a widow."
Bai Bai Mengmeng took a deep breath, suppressing the fright within her heart, and said with a trembling voice, "Don't go, I'll go!"
Having said that, she bravely stepped forward, passed Seeing Yu Lang, and walked toward the front of the barrier.
At the same time, not far away, Lv Qing'er also took a breath of ice-cold air. In her eyes, like a Bingshan that had endured for ten thousand years, faint ripples appeared, and then she said softly in her heart.
"Grand Uncle Taiyi, I'm ready."
"What about you?"
