Chapter 224: Critical Moment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the sky above Zhulu County, dazzling white light and dense black fog reflected each other.

The ground split into pieces, making deafening sounds from time to time. Chi Shu led the last group of people and sped up.

However, in their path, there were collapsed walls everywhere. There was no other choice but to take a detour.

The will to live of the severely injured people grew weaker and weaker. They shook off their hands from the others, not wanting to become a burden to them.

“No need to take us with you; we're going to die soon. Leave!”

Chi Shut s heart bled when he saw them fall to the ground.

He knew that this group of people weren't the only ones facing life and death.

In order to protect the human race's future, he could only turn his back resolutely. With tears in his eyes, he raised his arm and shouted, “Go! Go quickly!”

The human warriors who had awakened divine rune powers were not idle either. They kept returning between the forbidden land and the danger-stricken county to receive batches of citizens who had rushed over. At this moment, the Heavenly Punishment's white light beam suddenly retracted. Before the human eye could adapt to the unexpected darkness, a muffled sound came from the sky.

Swoosh!

The light beam was a hundred times stronger than before. It rushed toward Gu Changqing's layers of defense.

The two dragons in the Tai Chi Diagram spun rapidly, and the Yin-Yang dragon eyes had already fused into one.

One life was two, two was three, and three created all things. He wanted to refine the Heavenly Punishment's power as much as possible.

White and golden light shone, and the scattered light wheels hit the broken walls of Zhulu County.

The divine rune manifestations guarding the eight directions used all their strength and raised the weapons in their hands to resist the powerful power of Heavenly Punishment!

Crash!

Nezha guarding the northeast suddenly let out a shocking roar and collapsed with a bang.

Gu Changqing's face was dark and cold.

Nezha did not have a corresponding totem stone pillar in the forbidden area, so he did not reach 100% compatibility with him.

The county's corner section had lost its defense. The Heavenly Punishment's light beam was unobstructed and shot straight toward the ground covered in ravines.

The humans who were still running toward the forbidden area were swept away by the white light and instantly turned into dust.

The northeast region of Zhulu County shook like a death bell and was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye!

Gu Changqing was infuriated. A furious roar erupted from his chest.

The scattered power of the divine runes gathered into an elephant, and Nezha descended again.

This time, the latter's aura was like a rainbow. His pupils were pitch -black like ink, and they revealed a flirtatious blood-red color. His face was filled with starlight and ruthlessness.

His eight arms opened again and enlarged several times. The eight arms

The people under the Heavenly Punishment looked at the tragic scene in front of them and cried in despair.

Gu Changqing had used his human body to withstand the power of so many divine runes, but he was still unable to turn defeat into victory.

This Heavenly Punishment was too powerful!

People were as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

Life was as fragile as an ant.

In the face of such a disaster, even surviving was an extravagant hope.

After Nezha descended again, Gu Changqing was even more vigilant over the manifestations in the other seven directions.

However, the Heavenly Punishment's light beam seemed to have found his weakness. It kept probing, making the manifestations cooperate with each other.

Even with the protection of the Tai Chi Diagram, it continued to collapse and condense.

Gu Changqing saw that the people's movements were getting slower and slower, so he transmitted his voice into the county again.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up!”

The Tai Chi Diagram bliterated the power of the Heavenly Punishment and consumed a large amount of divine rune power.

At this moment, it had already reached its spin limit. The Yin-Yang was gradually weakening.

Gu Changqing knew very well that if the Heavenly Punishment did not end soon, even if he gambled everything, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

If he didn't care about this…

The Heavenly Punishment could not hurt him at all. However, the people of Zhulu County could forget about surviving if that happened.

Now, the only hope was for them to enter the forbidden area as soon as possible. That way, every one of them could live.

Finally, the people who had fled from all directions finally entered the forbidden area.

Chi Shu was the last to arrive at the entrance. He looked up at Gu Changqing, who stood there like a god. He could no longer express his feelings with words. He glanced at Yu Qing from the corner of his eye and sighed heavily.

“Zhulu County is destroyed. Come in and hide!”

The old tree, Yu Qing, who was guarding outside the forbidden area, swayed his body to express his unwillingness.

“County Lord, it's your responsibility to lead the human race to safety, and my mission is to guard the entrance and not allow any foreign enemies to approach!”

Chi Shu patted his cracked old bark with a moved expression, wanting to say something.

Yu Qing hooked his branch and sent him into the forbidden area. Then, he moved his root and sealed the entrance.

Sensing that there were no more humans on the ground in the county, Gu Changqing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when he suddenly sensed Yu Qing's aura, he could not help but frown.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Punishment light scattered in all directions, and a powerful pressure gathered in the Tai Chi Diagram's twin dragon eyes.

Boom!

The diagram, which was operating at a speed that exceeded the limit, instantly collapsed. The powerful destructive aftershock swept out. Caught off guard, the divine rune manifestations shattered.

Gu Changqing lost his balance and spun a few times in the air before he could stabilize himself.

“Master!”

Xiao Hei immediately blocked in front of Gu Changqing. The scales around his body flashed darkly, and his body meandered into a shield, enveloping Gu Changqing.

However, he was completely exposed to the white light. His scales were burned and curled, melting into seven colors. The pain of his scales being pulled out made him roar in pain.

The Tai Chi Diagram could not be regenerated for a long time. Thus, the Human Skull's Shield temporarily took over its role. In the end, it did not have the power to reverse Yin -Yang like the Tai Chi Diagram. It shattered and reformed again and again.

Under the Kingdom of Death, destructive force was continuously wearing down the Heavenly Punishment's light, but it did not have much effect.

There was nothing left to protect on the ground of Zhulu County. After the other divine runes manifested again, they quickly gathered around Gu Changqing.

Seeing all of this, Gu Changqing's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.

His face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were as fierce as a demonic god from Hell. His entire body emitted an incomparably powerful aura that looked down on the world!

Boom!

Even the aura in this space trembled with a bang.

Behind Gu Changqing, the shadow of an abyss that could bury the entire universe slowly appeared.

In the dark abyss, a shadow sitting on a throne opened its eyes indifferently.

In an instant, the surrounding aura seemed to have frozen.

It was terrifying. Fierce and invincible killing intent rolled toward the Heavenly Punishment pillar of light from behind Gu Changqing.

Under that pair of eyes, the light pillar instantly dimmed.

“Xiao Hei, come back!”

Seeing that Xiao Hei was in great pain, Gu Changqing called out. The former immediately retracted his body and flew back to Gu Changqing's wrist.

The other divine rune manifestations also relaxed.

At this moment, the Heavenly Punishment that descended from the spatial vortex seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, it disappeared into the vast void..
