Chapter 2734: Ancient Tribulation
The Earth Bear carried Ye Wantong and dashed madly forward, severely injured yet unstoppable.
Finally, a group of people tangled in battle appeared ahead.
Seeing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ye Wantong’s eyes, and she hurriedly shouted.
The people engaged in the battle in the distance also noticed the situation on this side. They were Heavenly Warriors from the Ancient Times, and after exchanging glances, two of them forcefully broke through the siege and rushed over to catch Ye Wantong.
The power confinement inside Ye Wantong was still present, but at least she had encountered warriors of the Human Clan.
Ye Wantong let out a long breath, wanting to explain the situation behind them to these people. Just then, the Earth Bear let out a low groan and collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Little Bear!" Ye Wantong’s face changed, and upon closer inspection, she saw the Earth Bear continuously shrinking on the ground.
Finally, the Earth Bear transformed into a one-foot-long gray Little Bear, curled up on the ground, its body twitching continuously. Its eyes were losing their luster, yet it still stared straight at Ye Wantong, as if reluctant to part.
"Little Bear!" Ye Wantong couldn’t help but cry, knowing that the Earth Bear could not hold on anymore.
It returned to its original form because all its power was gone. Without power, and being so heavily injured, it was certain to die!
At this moment, three Guardian Gods had already caught up.
The two Heavenly Warriors didn’t discuss anything; the woman among them directly carried Ye Wantong on her back, while also placing the Little Bear in Ye Wantong’s arms.
"Miss Ye, I don’t know how long I can take you, but we have to run as far as we can!" The Female Heavenly Warrior said in a deep voice: "If we really can’t run, we’ll die fighting together rather than fall into the hands of those Guardian Gods!"
Ye Wantong, holding the lifeless Little Bear, nodded slowly. She knew that she couldn’t even break the power confinement inside her, and had no other choice.
The other Heavenly Warrior rushed forward, desperately blocking the three Guardian Gods to buy some time for Ye Wantong.
The Female Heavenly Warrior, carrying Ye Wantong, quickly left the area. However, not long after, the three Guardian Gods appeared behind them again. It was evident that the warrior who remained behind had already met his end!
The Female Heavenly Warrior knew what had happened, and though she wiped away her tears, she continued to rush madly forward with Ye Wantong.
After running for a long time, seeing that the three Guardian Gods were about to catch up, suddenly, a group of people appeared in front, with five people besieging one person.
The person being besieged was sitting on a throne, wielding destructive power with every gesture—it was the Eternal Divine Emperor!
The Eternal Divine Emperor was undoubtedly one of the peak figures among the Heavenly Warriors. He was once closest to becoming the Strongest, and although he hadn’t reached that realm, his power was extremely terrifying.
Those five Guardian Gods, even against the sole Eternal Divine Emperor, were suppressed, showing just how formidable the Eternal Divine Emperor was.
Seeing the Eternal Divine Emperor, the Female Heavenly Warrior instantly sighed in relief and hurriedly shouted, "Divine Emperor, help!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor also saw Ye Wantong’s situation and his expression turned extremely cold.
Ye Wantong received the legacy of the Female Sword Saint, and he had regarded her as his daughter. Seeing his daughter injured like this, how could he not be furious?
However, seeing the three Guardian Gods closing in, the Eternal Divine Emperor’s expression also changed.
These three Guardian Gods were formidable figures from the Ancient Times, only slightly weaker than him. Together, they would be difficult to handle.
Nevertheless, without a word wasted, the Eternal Divine Emperor charged forward, instructing the Female Heavenly Warrior to take Ye Wantong and leave first. Meanwhile, he blocked the three Guardian Gods.
The three Guardian Gods couldn’t get past the Eternal Divine Emperor, their faces pale with anger, with the leader shouting, "Eternal Divine Emperor, step aside!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor’s face was icy: "Three peak Ancient figures ganging up on a junior from later generations, do you have no shame?"
"The war between the Human Clan and the Guardian Gods is one of life and death. Did you think there were rules in a life and death struggle?" The Guardian God yelled: "Ye Wantong inherited the Female Sword Saint’s legacy, she is the reincarnation of the Female Sword Saint. The Ancient Female Sword Saint was no weakling, she slaughtered so many of us Guardian Gods, how can we let her go? As for you, Eternal Divine Emperor, can’t you see the situation? You’re blocking us three, plus those five over there, are you courting death?"
The Eternal Divine Emperor knew if he fought those three alone, he could barely manage. But against all eight, it would be truly perilous.
But how could he back down now?
"Nonsense!" The Eternal Divine Emperor shouted: "If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the ability!"
Saying that, without waiting for the three to strike, the Eternal Divine Emperor stood up from the throne, grabbed the air with his hands, and shouted: "Ancient Tribulation!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three Guardian Gods changed, with the leader exclaiming: "Eternal Divine Emperor, are you insane?"
The other five Guardian Gods didn’t know what was happening, but seeing the panic of the three, they realized something was very wrong.
They quickly tried to retreat, but it was too late. The surrounding space suddenly compressed, trapping everyone in this area. They couldn’t even tear through space and were completely confined here.
"Quick, kill him!" a Guardian God shouted, and the other Guardian Gods unleashed their attacks on the Eternal Divine Emperor.
The Eternal Divine Emperor didn’t dodge, and the throne beneath him suddenly flew into the air, shattering instantly, turning into ten thousand beams of golden light enclosing the Eternal Divine Emperor.
With this, the Eternal Divine Emperor was covered in blood, for the throne was his life-bound Divine Artifact. Its shattering inflicted significant harm on him.
However, the Eternal Divine Emperor had no regrets, and his hands continued to draw complex and obscure Dharma Seals in the air.
The attacks from the eight Guardian Gods all fell on the golden light, shattering it continuously.
With the protection of the golden light, the pressure on the Eternal Divine Emperor lessened considerably. However, a portion of their power still reached him, which could not be underestimated.
In no time, almost half of the Eternal Divine Emperor’s body was shattered.
Meanwhile, above everyone’s heads, a black cloud appeared.
The three Guardian Gods looked even more terrified, screaming madly, "Kill him! Quickly, kill him!"
Although the other five Guardian Gods didn’t know what was happening, that black cloud gave them an extremely terrifying feeling.
