Chapter 757: You

He finally realized just how vast the gap was between him and a true top‑tier master!

A thread of unwillingness and a thread of despair surged in his heart!

He was unwilling to die like this!

He still had many things to do!

He still had to protect Zhutian Wanjie, protect his own clan, fulfill the sages' last wish, and completely end this apocalyptic reincarnation!

But now, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as that finger, magnifying before his eyes, seemed ready in the next instant to pierce his brow and crush his soul!

All the strong ones of Zhutian Wanjie, seeing this scene, let out desperate howls!

"No!! Wuque!!"

"Dark scum! I f*** your ancestors!!"

"If you've got the guts, come at me!!"

Countless Zhutian strong ones, eyes bulging with rage, let out angry yet desperate howls, burning their Primordial in a frenzy to charge forward, but they could not break free of the opponent's entanglement, only watching helplessly as that lethal finger drew ever nearer to Ye Wuque!

At this hair's breadth, the instant of life and death!

A figure, like a phantom, instantly appeared before Ye Wuque!

That figure, towering and majestic, surrounded by dazzling Initial Dao Principles, like an eternal Immortal Divine Mountain, firmly stood before Ye Wuque, using its body to block that lethal finger!

It was Tai Shi!

Tai Shi, who had been battling the Corrosion Demon Ancestor and the Blood Prison Demon Emperor—both Ultimate Leap‑level Dark Overlords—in the supreme dimension, fighting bloodily, their struggle inseparable.

But when he saw the Annihilation Demon Ancestor strike at Ye Wuque, he hesitated not a moment, tore open the Space‑Time, shifted his form horizontally, instantly appearing before Ye Wuque, and forcibly intercepted that finger of the Annihilation Demon Ancestor!

Boom!!!!

An earth‑shattering roar instantly rang across the entire Wuliang Huanyu, piercing past, present and future!

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor's finger and Tai Shi's palm collided violently!

The Initial Dao Principles representing Zhutian's beginning and the Wu Mie Dao Principle representing Eternal Darkness collided violently!

A terrifying shockwave, like a tsunami, surged wildly in all directions!

The surrounding Void instantly shattered completely, turning into primordial Chaos Particles!

Countless massive SpaceTimeRifts, like spider webs, spread out, covering the entire No Return Main Path!

Those nearby Dark Great Powers and Zhutian strong ones, even those of SupremeUltimateGreatPerfectionRank, were shaken by the terrifying shockwave, spitting blood, badly wounded, fleeing crazily backward, fearing the lingering wave would cause Body and Spirit Annihilation!

When the smoke cleared, Tai Shi's figure still stood firmly in place, unmoving, like an eternal Divine Mountain, steadfastly protecting Ye Wuque behind him!

A faint white mark appeared on his palm, and there was no other damage at all!

And the Annihilation Demon Ancestor's finger was completely blocked by Tai Shi, not harming Ye Wuque a single bit!

Ye Wuque, looking at the towering silhouette before him, felt his eyes instantly moisten!

That silhouette was like the most solid shield of Zhutian Wanjie, blocking all darkness, all storms, all murderous intent!

It has always been so since the ages!

In his heart, endless gratitude rose, as did a tide of battle spirit!

He silently vowed in his heart that one day he would grow to Tai Shi's level, even surpass Tai Shi, personally blocking all darkness, protecting Zhutian Wanjie, protecting everything behind him!

Tai Shi slowly turned, his gaze cold as ice toward the Annihilation Demon Ancestor atop the Dark Divine Mountain, his voice indifferent yet majestic, laced with endless mockery, echoing across the battlefield.

"Old thing of the Dark Clan, having lived through countless Epochs, have you crawled onto a dog's body?"

"Enjoy bullying the weak so much? Attacking a junior, don't you feel ashamed?"

These words, like a resounding slap, struck the faces of all Dark Clan strong ones!

The Zhutian Wanjie strong ones, hearing this, all echoed, loudly mocking the Dark Clan as shameless, bullying the weak, an unworthy victory!

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor, seeing his strike blocked by Tai Shi, showed no surprise on his face.

He seemed to have long anticipated Tai Shi would act.

He slowly retracted his finger, his gaze cold as ice toward Tai Shi, a teasing smile curling his lips, and said.

"Hehe, Tai Shi, since the ages, you still love meddling in others' affairs, indeed you haven't died out completely."

"What? Today, do you still want to protect this kid before my Dark Clan?"

"Do you think you can, by yourself, block my entire Dark Clan? That's a bit too delusional, isn't it?"

Tai Shi, hearing this, let a faint smile curl his lips; his eyes were steadfast and fearless, just as they have been through countless ages when confronting dark incursions, showing no retreat.

His voice rang across the battlefield, bearing resolute protective will, also exuding an unstoppable, invincible aura.

"Without a battle, how would we know?"

"I, Tai Shi, have guarded Zhutian Wanjie for countless Epochs, never allowing the Dark Clan to easily step onto the No Return Path even once."

"Not before, not now, nor in the future!"

"If you want to move him, step over my corpse first!"

These words, spoken with thunderous authority, filled all Zhutian Wanjie strong ones with instant blood‑boiling fervor!

They gazed at Tai Shi's back, their eyes full of awe, gratitude, and steadfast battle spirit!

They knew that with Tai Shi present, Zhutian Wanjie still held hope!

On the other side, the Corrosion Demon Ancestor and Blood Prison Demon Emperor, who had been tangled with Tai Shi, saw Tai Shi, even under their assault, still have the strength to intervene, blocking the Annihilation Demon Ancestor's strike and rescuing Ye Wuque; their faces instantly showed extreme shock and fury!

To them, this was an ultimate humiliation!

They are the Dark Clan's Nine Great Apocalypse Sequences, Ultimate Leap‑level supreme overlords!

The two jointly besieging Tai Shi, yet still allowing Tai Shi enough strength to rescue, if this spreads, what face will they have to stand in the Dark Clan? What face to claim the Apocalypse Sequences?

The Corrosion Demon Ancestor let out a roar; the corrosive demon mist around him surged dozens of times, and the surrounding Space‑Time Great Dao hissed with corrosion, emitting a mournful wail.

His gaze fixed on Tai Shi, eyes brimming with murderous intent, as if to melt Tai Shi completely.

"Tai Shi! You're courting death!!"

"How dare you ignore the two of us' assault and strike to save someone! Today, I will utterly corrode you to nothing, so that you shall never be reborn for all eternity!!"
