CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 403: ONE SWORD!

In an instant.

Hope reignited within the hearts of all present.

If even the Third Prince holds this figure in such regard, it suggests that perhaps, amidst this dire situation, there is a chance to turn the tide.

However.

Even if a Tier Two Martial Artist or an Extraordinary were to come, they would be powerless against such a scenario.

Unless they were an Ultimate Grandmaster, a Demigod!

But.

The Empire possesses only a handful of Ultimate Grandmasters and Demigods, each guarding crucial locations, unable to be at the Third Prince’s Legendary Ship.

This is nothing short of a fanciful notion.

"Third Prince, who might this be...?"

Yuwen Ba cautiously inquired.

"An elder, that’s all you need to know. Beyond that, I cannot divulge much. But if there’s anyone in Zenith City who might salvage this situation, it is only this elder."

Shangguan Zi coldly stated.

Those nearby put on a serious expression.

Someone who can still save Zenith City under these circumstances — just how formidable must they be?

An Ultimate Grandmaster?

A Demigod?

They couldn’t help but speculate about the identity of the person in the room.

"Then we should now..." Yuwen Ba looked with an inquisitive expression.

Even if a capable elder resides on the Legendary Ship, it’s uncertain if they can actually intervene. From Shangguan Zi’s words, there seems to be some restriction preventing them from acting freely.

The Empire has only so many Ultimate Grandmasters.

Each guards a vital area and cannot leave. The elder on the Legendary Ship might be a special case.

"Retreat first."

As expected.

Shangguan Zi nevertheless issued the retreat order.

She wasn’t sure if Baiyu would act or how. Preparing to withdraw seemed the prudent choice.

If Baiyu can’t resolve it.

Then.

They could only report to the Empire and send truly top-tier experts.

But such supreme experts, standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world, affect the Empire’s security and stability with their every move; this meaning the smallest action can have massive repercussions.

The Legendary Ship began to retreat in the sky.

The Imperial Army formed a guard unit, led by the Blood Knight Order, breaking out from the encirclement of the exotic races and beasts, moving away from the plaza.

At this moment, the exotic races were already in disarray.

What remained was barely a disorganized force, unable to stop the Imperial Army; it was too difficult.

However.

As they retreated from the plaza.

The Evil God’s spawn suddenly shook off countless black liquids, which fell from the sky like raindrops.

A black rain fell.

Everyone touched by the raindrops transformed directly into grotesque monsters.

The entire army was suddenly thrown into chaos.

"The Stone God will soon descend upon the earth, and you ignorant beings, bow before it and return to the Stone Origin God’s embrace."

A voice filled with bewitching tones echoed throughout Zenith City.

Before the Evil God’s spawn.

An elder in a ceremonial robe, holding a scepter, shouted loudly.

The person was clearly the leader of the Endless exotic races.

The primary figure in summoning the Evil God’s spawn.

The other Endless exotic races seated in the plaza had nearly all been drained of blood qi and spirit, turning into mummified corpses, yet he was still vigorous and lively.

Moreover.

He seemed able to control the Evil God’s spawn to some extent.

The Imperial Army was thrown into disarray by this attack, their ranks shattered as countless abominations harvested their lives.

In the crowd, no one knew if the person beside them might mutate in the next moment.

At this point.

The remaining exotic races seized the opportunity to charge again.

In an instant.

The entire Imperial Army’s formation fell into chaos.

"It’s over, these abominations have come up and sealed off our escape route."

"What kind of monster is this..."

"Zenith City is beyond saving, no one can deal with this monster."

Despair spread like a plague within the hearts of the entire Imperial Army.

Yi Xian gazed at the horrifying colossal being a hundred meters ahead, clenched her fists tightly.

Within her Mechanical Armament.

Her expression was as cold as frost.

Beside her.

The Moon Lady bit her lips, the Black Moon Mark at her brow pulsing, as if it wanted to break through her skin.

"The perception of the Black Moon is growing stronger; the Evil God’s spawn must be a deity opposed to it. Otherwise, the Black Moon Mark wouldn’t be so agitated."

The young girl bit her lip and said.

Yi Xian also felt this.

The Black Moon Mark on her body pulsed continuously, like a searing iron branding her skin.

"Can you handle it?"

She asked without turning her head.

"I can only try; the power of this monster comes from the Egg of the Evil God; the Black Moon and its power belong to the same level.

It has absorbed so much blood qi from people.

I don’t know what the chances of success are.

However.

At least I have a chance to stop it."

The Moon Lady knew her situation well.

Even Zenith City, with the Steam and Mechanism God Church Headquarters, would struggle with such an offspring of the Evil God.

These days.

The Church isn’t what it was in its prime.

Currently, she is the only one who can stop the Evil God’s spawn.

Only the power of a deity can confront a deity.

"Teacher, I need you to help me get close to it..."

The Moon Lady whispered.

Yi Xian nodded, grabbed the Moon Lady, and with blood qi surging, became an arc, as a moth flying into the fire, rushing towards the Evil God’s spawn.

And this scene.

Naturally fell into the eyes of all the Imperial Army and Shangguan Zi and the others.

Moths to a flame.

Everyone recalled these four words.

"What are they doing?"

"That looks like the Mechanical Armament of Celestial South Martial Arts University, is she from there?"

"Martial Arts University is already destroyed; what meaning is there in going to their deaths like this?"

On the Legendary Ship, a crowd erupted in discussion.

But.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the sky cracked with massive fissures, and winds from the void swept across the land.

An air of devastation brewed in midair.

Crack!

The next second, the sky shattered, sword qi overflowed.

A sword light, carrying the will of the entire Giant race, slashed from the Dream Realm and struck the Evil God’s spawn.

The sky was filled with sword light.

Countless sword qi swept around, turning the entire plaza into dust; the immense body of the Evil God’s spawn was pierced by the sword light, demon blood splattered.

A phantom holding a Holy Sword manifested in the sky.

None could clearly see its appearance.

But.

The overwhelming aura of destruction crashed against everyone’s heart like waves.

The blinding and dazzling light radiated from the phantom.

At this moment.

No one could raise their head, no one could look directly at the phantom!

"A deity... This is the power of another deity!!"

"We are witnessing a battle among divine spirits!"

"The Evil God’s spawn has fallen!"

As voices rose among the crowd.

Everyone squinted against the sunlight-like brilliance, turning their heads to see the enormous body of the Evil God’s spawn slowly fall, breaking into countless pieces midair.

When they hit the ground.

These fragments of flesh turned into massive stones, rolling onto the ground.

Along with the power of that mighty sword.

The Simulation Realm that shrouded Zenith City completely shattered, sunlight once again illuminating the land, dispelling the pervasive gloom.
