Supreme Warrior in the City

The five people in the sky turned pale at the sight.

They knew very well that if they couldn’t withstand the celestial lightning, their fate would be the same.

"Don’t be afraid!" a Guardian God shouted in a low voice, "The Eternal Divine Emperor is overdrawing his power; he won’t last long. We just need to hold out this period, and he’ll be powerless, making it easy for us to kill him!"

The other four nodded. At this point, they had no choice but to hold on. After all, this was a strike with the Origin Power by the Eternal Divine Emperor; they truly had no way to escape.

A while later, two more Guardian Gods fell. These two Guardian Gods were among the weaker ones and naturally couldn’t hold out for long.

The other three were the Guardian Gods who had been chasing Ye Wantong earlier. Their power was stronger, so they could hold out for a longer time.

The Eternal Divine Emperor’s body trembled slightly. After all, facing these eight Guardian Gods alone was a massive burden.

However, he didn’t retreat, just gritted his teeth and persisted.

When those three Guardian Gods approached, he knew he had no choice but to use this move. Otherwise, he couldn’t stop these eight Guardian Gods, and in that case, Wan Tong would be in danger.

So, he had no choice but to fight desperately. Even if it cost him his life, he had to leave these eight people behind to ensure Wan Tong could escape safely.

In the Ancient Times, watching the Female Sword Saint die in battle was a pain the Eternal Divine Emperor could never erase from his heart. In this life, though Ye Wantong wasn’t the Female Sword Saint, she was at least her continuation. How could he let his daughter’s final inheritance be lost?

Both sides continued to confront each other, the pressure on the three Guardian Gods was immense. But they understood the situation of the Eternal Divine Emperor’s move, so they were determined to hold on until the end.

After some time, one of the Guardian Gods finally couldn’t endure any longer and was slowly pushed down.

This Guardian God’s face was filled with unwillingness and panic, but at that moment, no one could help him. In the end, he was knocked into the flames below, following the footsteps of the previous five, turning into a pile of ashes.

The remaining two looked even grimmer. If all eight of them died here, it would be humiliating. Together, they couldn’t even match the Eternal Divine Emperor, wouldn’t that make them a laughingstock?

"Let’s go all out!" one of the Guardian Gods shouted and suddenly looked up, forcing himself forward.

"What are you doing?" the other exclaimed. Doing that consumed more power, wouldn’t it make it easier to be knocked down?

"Our power combined cannot match the Eternal Divine Emperor. If we keep holding on like this, we’ll both be knocked down. It’s better to give it a try; I’ll go up first to deplete his power, and then you try after me. That way, we can deplete him separately!"

Hearing this, the other immediately nodded, "You’re right, we can’t just wait like this!"

The first person thrust upward for a while, his body trembling, and quickly said, "Help me, I can’t hold on!"

The second person immediately surged upwards, using his powerful energy to desperately push the light beam upward.

Just then, the first person suddenly rushed behind him. Before he could react, this person struck his back.

The second person cried out in pain, all his power disrupted, leaving him with no strength to resist.

"What are you doing?" the second person cried out.

"We can’t hold on like this with just the two of us!" the first person gritted his teeth and said, "To defeat him, we need to combine our powers."

"How do we integrate?" the second person turned pale, suddenly feeling betrayed.

"If I devour your power, isn’t that integration?" the first person finished, immediately engulfing the second person.

The two were of similar strength, but the second person, caught off guard, was unable to resist and was directly consumed by the first.

This person’s power suddenly surged as he braced the light beam in the sky, laughing wildly, "Eternal Divine Emperor, let’s see what you can do to me now!"

The Eternal Divine Emperor sighed softly. From the moment this person swallowed his companion, he knew what the outcome would be.

Separated, these two couldn’t withstand the light beam. But with their powers combined, the Eternal Divine Emperor surely couldn’t suppress them.

Nevertheless, the Eternal Divine Emperor didn’t retreat. Even if he couldn’t suppress this person, he would hold on a little longer, preventing this person from pursuing Ye Wantong.

Moreover, the Eternal Divine Emperor had transformed all his Origin Power into the ground fire, he had no power left, nor could he escape from this person, so he’d rather fight until the end than be killed without a fight!

Both of them held on until the Eternal Divine Emperor’s power was finally exhausted. The light beam in the sky gradually weakened, and the ground fire below also began to die out.

This Guardian God looked smug, knowing the Eternal Divine Emperor couldn’t hold on any longer. It was his turn to counterattack.

After another moment, feeling the power sealing the surrounding space was nearly spent, this Guardian God suddenly let out a roar, violently breaking through the confinement and flying towards the Eternal Divine Emperor in the sky.

"Eternal Divine Emperor, I may not have caught your daughter, but I’ll take you back!" the Guardian God laughed maniacally, "I never expected the pinnacle figure below the strongest of the Human Clan to fall into my hands. Haha, returning now will surely be a great achievement!"

"Hmph, aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal how you devoured your comrade?" the Eternal Divine Emperor snorted coldly.

The Guardian God turned pale, his brows furrowing tightly. Earlier, he deceived another Guardian God and devoured him, if this were exposed, he couldn’t escape culpability either.

Staring at the Eternal Divine Emperor for a while, the Guardian God clenched his teeth, "So it seems I truly can’t spare you. Eternal Divine Emperor, prepare to die!"

The Guardian God launched a frenzied attack at the Eternal Divine Emperor.

The Eternal Divine Emperor didn’t resist, as he had no power left to fight back. With his Origin depleted and all power exhausted, any Guardian God could kill him.

The Guardian God unleashed his full strength, ultimately destroying the Eternal Divine Emperor’s body and soul before stopping. However, at this point, he didn’t even know where to pursue Ye Wantong.

Exhaling deeply, he was no longer concerned with chasing Ye Wantong. Simply surviving was lucky enough; nothing else mattered!
