Chapter 2744: The Enraged Guardian God
Seeing the Heavenly Sect self-detonate in sacrifice for the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, Su Yang’s expression changed immediately.
Previously, he didn’t care because he knew the Heavenly Sect no longer had much influence among the Guardian Gods. This person had slain so many Guardian Gods that the others were wary of him. It was virtually impossible for him to continue capturing Guardian Gods to sacrifice for the Heavenly Dao Grand Array.
But now, he actually went ahead with such an act, self-detonating for the Heavenly Dao Grand Array. The other Guardian Gods would definitely be moved by this. As a result, the other Guardian Gods would certainly follow suit and offer themselves for the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, ensuring that the power of the Heavenly Dao Grand Array would be continuously replenished.
This put Su Yang in a troubling situation.
Although his Undying Golden Body was formidable, it too had its limits. Once the Undying Golden Body was thoroughly worn away, he would have to use his Undying Bone to resist the Heavenly Dao’s power.
The World Melting Furnace was hidden within Su Yang’s Undying Bone. Once even his Undying Bone was worn down, the World Melting Furnace would be taken away.
By then, it wouldn’t just be the issue of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet being seized; even Reincarnation would be shattered by these people. As such, the sacrificed members of the Human Clan would never return, plunging the Human Clan into true despair.
Su Yang took a deep breath, urgently calculating his current predicament in his mind.
Thirty years remain until the millennium mark. If all these Guardian Gods fight with their lives, it’s essentially impossible for him to last those final thirty years. Could it be that the Human Clan is truly doomed?
Looking at the mist around, Su Yang felt even heavier in spirit. Now trapped within the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, he couldn’t even escape, let alone think of other ways to resolve this matter.
Is there really no way out now?
At this moment, the physical body of the Heavenly Sect had already fallen into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array.
The act of the Heavenly Sect had also shocked the thirteen Guardian Gods who arranged the array.
Previously, these thirteen had even begun openly rebelling against the Heavenly Sect, but now, the Heavenly Sect’s actions moved them deeply. All their former grievances against the Heavenly Sect were gone, replaced only by heartfelt inspiration.
The leading Guardian God shouted, "What are you standing there for? Continue, kill this scourge, don’t let Lord Heavenly Sect’s sacrifice be in vain!"
The remaining twelve Guardian Gods snapped back to reality, each making a move, driving the Heavenly Dao Power once more to wear down Su Yang.
The Heavenly Dao Power within the Heavenly Sect was immense and took a long time to exhaust. However, Su Yang merely ended up with some additional scars, unable to obliterate his Undying Golden Body.
Yet at this moment, the surrounding Guardian Gods all flew over.
"I am willing to follow Lord Heavenly Sect and sacrifice myself for the Heavenly Dao!" a Guardian God shouted, also detonating himself and falling into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array.
"I am too!"
"Count me in!"
These Guardian Gods shouted one after another, rushing into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, offering their lives to maintain the array’s operation.
The thirteen Guardian Gods of the array were full of excitement, and the scene was deeply moving.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the leading Guardian God shouted fervently.
The other twelve Guardian Gods were equally exhilarated, managing the power of the Heavenly Dao to continually wear down Su Yang’s physical body.
After three years, Su Yang’s Undying Golden Body finally collapsed. The immense power thoroughly wore down his flesh, leaving only a skeleton remaining.
Seeing this scene, the Guardian Gods were invigorated.
"His Undying Golden Body has shattered, and the World Melting Furnace is hidden within his bones, keep going!" the leading Guardian God shouted, "This time, we mustn’t only seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, but also slay this scourge, destroy the Reincarnation, and wipe out the Human Clan permanently!"
"Slay the scourge, destroy the Reincarnation, annihilate the Human Clan!" the other Guardian Gods shouted one after another, their excitement was boundless, with more and more rushing into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array to sacrifice themselves.
Su Yang was trapped in the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, at his wit’s end. These Guardian Gods had completely gone mad, determined to exterminate him utterly.
The surrounding power constantly began to assault his bones. Without the protection of the Undying Golden Body, Su Yang’s Undying Bone would have to take the brunt of the Heavenly Dao’s power.
The strength of the Undying Bone and the Undying Golden Body was comparable. If the Undying Golden Body couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Dao’s power, neither could the Undying Bone.
Previously, the Undying Golden Body held on for so long mainly because there were still Human Clan members nearby. The Heavenly Sect couldn’t capture enough Guardian Gods to feed into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array, resulting in insufficient power in the array.
But now, all the other members of the Human Clan had perished in battle, with the Guardian Gods focusing all their attention on Su Yang. A large number of Guardian Gods rushed into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array in succession, making the array immensely powerful. The pressure Su Yang was enduring was several times, even over ten times, greater than before!
In such a situation, Su Yang’s bones quickly began to develop cracks and slowly crumbled.
Seeing this spectacle, the Guardian Gods were jubilant. At this rate, extinguishing Su Yang was merely a matter of time!
"Continue! Continue! Continue!" the Guardian Gods shouted madly, with more and more Guardians diving into the Heavenly Dao Grand Array.
At this point, the Guardian Gods had completely disregarded their own lives. They only aimed to annihilate Su Yang. Moreover, once they exterminated him and secured the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, they could revive, so why worry about other matters?
Over ten years, most of Su Yang’s bones had been worn away, leaving only a skull and some tattered bones.
Su Yang hid the World Melting Furnace within his skull, which was his last line of defense. Once his skull was also worn away, he truly wouldn’t be able to protect the World Melting Furnace anymore.
However, even at this point, Su Yang showed no intention of giving up. Despite having seventeen years left and clearly unable to hold out, Su Yang was determined to exert every last ounce of strength and persevere to the end!
The surrounding Guardian Gods were equally crazed, even though the power of the Heavenly Dao Grand Array was already substantial. Yet they still rushed endlessly into the array to replenish its strength, aiming to wear down Su Yang.
Gradually, Su Yang’s remaining bones were also worn away, leaving only a shattered skull remaining. Furthermore, Su Yang’s consciousness began to blur; his skull could no longer protect his Primordial Spirit.
"He’s about to die!" the leading Guardian God exclaimed in excitement, "Continue! Continue! Kill him, the Human Clan is finished! Victory belongs to us, the Guardian Gods!"
