Chapter 1138 - 519: Absolute Heaven; The Human Emperor's Martyrdom
And the World Tree, having lost its "fruit," instantly lost all its meaning, and its internal Law cycle, already extremely unstable due to internal conflict, completely collapsed at this moment!
Boom——
The towering black giant tree began to crumble inch by inch, transforming into the most violent chaotic energy storm, sweeping away in all directions!
Countless Demon God True Spirits struggling inside the tree were torn to shreds in this internally sourced destructive storm without even a scream!
The Primordial coalition had long retreated to the Guardian Barrier of the Fire Cloud Cave under Fu Xi's pre-warning, avoiding this deadly impact.
Everyone's gaze was fixated on the "Demon God True Realm," suspended in Chaos, no longer supported by the World Tree.
It was the final and only "war reward" of this war.
However, just when everyone thought the outcome was certain, and victory was within reach.
An unexpected turn occurred!
The "Demon God True Realm," seemingly devoid of all power, suddenly revealed an enormous face filled with endless resentment and madness on its crystalline surface!
It was the collective vengeful spirit formed by the remaining grievances and unwillingness of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, a face of revenge!
"Zhu Xiu!!!"
A curse so venomous it could freeze time and space was roared from the mouth of that sinister face!
"You... destroyed everything we had!!!"
"Even if we completely return to the Void, we will drag you, drag the entire Human Dao, with us to the grave!!!"
The moment the words fell, the "Demon God True Realm," now a "Rootless Wood," suddenly trembled!
It no longer attempted to transcend, but shifted its direction, converting all its Origin Power capable of establishing an Eternal True Realm into the most pure and horrifying destructive impact!
Like an ignited Creation Bomb capable of obliterating all Chaos, it fiercely struck Zhu Xiu, who had just exhausted his strength and was slowly falling from the sky!
Its target had always been only one!
It was this Human Dao Reserve Monarch who personally severed all their hopes!
"No good! Zhu Xiu is in danger!"
Xuanyuan was the first to react, his eyes wide with fury, and the Holy Dao Sword in his hand burst with ten thousand feet of gold light, preparing to rush forward!
"Quick! Protect the Reserve Monarch!"
Shao Hao, Fu Xi, Shennong, every Human Dao Emperor at that moment, without hesitation, unleashed all their strength, trying to intercept that mad "Dao Fruit"!
However, it was too late.
The impact of the "Demon God True Realm" contained the dying counterattack of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, its speed having already surpassed the limits of time and space!
The distance between it and Zhu Xiu rapidly closed to zero!
It's over!
Everyone's hearts echoed with these two chilling words.
They seemed to already see the tragic fate where Zhu Xiu, under that terrifying impact, would be obliterated, unable to leave even a trace of True Spirit.
Yet, at the moment when that light of destruction was about to engulf Zhu Xiu.
An old and gentle sigh softly sounded in his ear.
"Child, what your teacher can do for you is only this much."
Suddenly, the life Turtle Shell, gifted by Xuan Turtle Daoist and always worn by Zhu Xiu, flew out without any forewarning!
It grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a sky-covering dark yellow giant shield, its surface flowing with millions of Great Dao Runes, evolving into the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, the birth and destruction of the universe!
It stood in front of Zhu Xiu!
Boom——!!!!
An indescribable, deafeningly terrifying giant sound exploded, capable of deafening all Chaos!
All the Origin Power of the "Demon God True Realm" at this moment poured onto that ancient Turtle Shell!
Xuan Turtle Daoist, with all his Dao Fruits acquired through endless years of cultivation, with his ultimate gift of transforming into Xuanwu, shielded his disciple from this fatal strike!
The Turtle Shell was covered with cracks, spreading quickly like a web.
Finally, accompanied by an unwilling wail, the Innate Treasure that existed since the initial opening of Chaos completely transformed into a sky filled with dark yellow light points, dissipating into invisibility.
Yet it still earned Zhu Xiu that precious breath of life.
The Origin impact of the "Demon God True Realm" was mitigated by ninety-nine percent.
But the remaining residual wave, along with the most venomous curse of cause and effect from the Three Thousand Demon Gods within it, still brutally struck Zhu Xiu's already depleted body!
Pfft——!
Zhu Xiu felt like his Primordial Spirit was pierced by a billion poisoned steel needles simultaneously!
His just solidified, yet incomplete "Emperor Mystic Water" Dao Fruit became full of cracks in an instant!
His body began to become transparent and illusory at a visible speed.
"Zhu Xiu!!!"
Li and Chong madly rushed up, hugging the constantly dissipating body from left and right.
"Hold on! You must hold on!" Li's eyes overflowed with tears, he tried using his power to mend Zhu Xiu's broken Primordial Spirit but found that the curse from the Three Thousand Demon Gods was like bone-clinging maggots, refusing to be dispelled.
"Why... why is it like this..." Chong, usually silent, was now crying uncontrollably, only able to desperately squeeze his increasingly cold friend's hand.
Zhu Xiu slowly opened his eyes.
There was no pain or fear on his face.
Only a serenity and tranquility after completing his mission.
He looked at his two grief-stricken friends, his mouth, arduously breaking into a small smile.
"Don't… don't cry…"
His voice was as weak as a flickering candle in the wind.
"I… I merely… completed what I had to do…"
He slowly raised his already nearly transparent hand, one last time touching the Mystic Water Emperor Sword that accompanied him for life.
Then, his gaze turned towards the four Human Dao Emperors rushing towards him, towards the countless Human Dao Soldiers worrying for him.
His eyes filled with endless affection and reluctance.
Finally, his gaze focused on the dimmed, lifeless "Demon God True Realm" Dao Fruit due to exhausting all its Origin power.
With his last bit of strength, he softly said:
"This fruit... shall be... my Human Dao's... foundation... for all eternity..."
The moment the words left his lips.
His body completely transformed into an all-encompassing, ink-black Mystic Water light points.
Those light points didn't dissipate but slowly merged into a tranquil and deep river.
That river flowed around the broken "Dao Fruit," quietly.
As if using its last life to guard the most precious future he gained for the entire Human Dao.
The Human Dao Reserve Monarch, the future "Black Emperor" Zhu Xiu, after accomplishing the supreme feat of "Absolute Heaven," was devoured by the Demon God True Realm.
Thus... he fell.
The entire battlefield at that moment fell into dead silence.
Every Human Dao Soldier, every Da Luo Holy Spirit, quietly watched the Mystic Water river formed from Zhu Xiu's last life.
Endless sadness, like a tide, submerged every heart.
"Zhu Xiu——!!!!!"
Xuanyuan's roar, like a wounded beast, was filled with endless grief and anger.
The jubilation of victory at that moment was utterly wiped away by the massive sacrifice.
