Xu Chuan finished speaking and no longer held back, raising his saber to end Yang Ding Tian’s life.
At this moment, Yang Ding Tian was still lost in the reality of his defeat by Xu Chuan and his crippling.
He hadn't noticed that Xu Chuan's saber was already close to his neck.
Only one step away from decapitation!
Seeing this, Yang Ding Tian’s protectors and followers’ eyes turned bloodshot.
An elder at the sixth level of the Heavenly King realm flew out rapidly, blocking in front of Yang Ding Tian to shield him from the fatal blow.
"Protect the Holy Son!"
"The Holy Son absolutely cannot die!"
He roared, his entire body’s primal energy surging wildly as he shielded Yang Ding Tian behind him.
Yang Ding Tian must not die!
If he died, those who followed him here, even if they could escape the Emperor’s Tomb alive, would definitely be killed by the higher-ups of the Three Suns Holy Land!
There would be no way out!
As for escaping, that was simply not an option!
The moment they dared to flee, they would face pursuit!
As the strongest of the four major powers in the Southern Domain, once a pursuit began, there would be no possibility of survival, no matter how far they fled.
Unless they could escape Xuan Tian and head directly into the Chaos!
But without the cultivation of an Emperor Realm expert, entering the Chaos would only lead to death!
Moreover, the passage connecting Xuan Tian and the Chaos had vanished the same time the Emperor had disappeared.
Therefore, if Yang Ding Tian died, they would have no chance of escape!
Thus, even at the cost of their lives, they had to protect Yang Ding Tian!
Under the elder's call, the disciples of the Three Suns Holy Land also reacted.
They understood the severity of the situation and the consequences.
At this moment, they all erupted, their primal energy surging wildly, their weapons raised.
Then, they charged towards Xu Chuan together!
Those who followed Yang Ding Tian to the Emperor’s Tomb had a cultivation base of at least the fifth level of the Tong Tian realm, with the lowest being so.
There were also two Heavenly King realm martial artists.
With the cooperation of this group, the power they could unleash was nearly equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of the Heavenly King realm!
If it were anyone else here, they might have temporarily retreated in the face of such formidable strength.
However, they were facing Xu Chuan.
"Mere ants' dying struggle!"
"Since that's the case, I'll send you all on your way together!"
Xu Chuan coldly spat out these words, his icy killing intent unreserved.
Since they dared to scheme against the Tai Yi Holy Land, they had to be prepared to die at any moment!
If they died, they had no one to blame.
Xu Chuan couldn't even be bothered to draw his saber for these people.
With a wave of his hand.
Flames appeared in his palm, condensing into the shape of a lotus flower.
The demonic firelight illuminated the entire sky.
The moment this fire lotus appeared, it instantly drew everyone's attention.
"What kind of technique is this now?"
"I can feel that this fire lotus contains extreme energy. Once it erupts, no one present will survive!"
"Is Xu Chuan planning to silence everyone?"
At this moment, a large number of martial artists in the entire Emperor’s Tomb world had already fled when Xu Chuan and Yang Ding Tian were fighting earlier.
Most of those who remained were martial artists from major factions, almost all led by Heavenly King realm experts.
Only they had the courage to stay.
But now, seeing this fire lotus, they couldn't help but show expressions of shock and fear.
"Flee quickly!"
This was the only thought in their minds.
If they waited for this fire lotus to erupt, not many of them would survive!
Its power was that terrifying!
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan’s face was etched with a hint of reminiscence as he looked at the immensely powerful fire lotus in his hand.
This fire lotus was something he had imitated based on the description in that novel.
Seeing this object brought back memories of his past life.
At the same time, it strengthened his resolve to become the strongest and return to Earth.
"Bloom!"
Xu Chuan said softly, then pushed the fire lotus in his hand forward.
The fire lotus, released from Xu Chuan’s palm, rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal flame lotus, engulfing the sky.
Terrifying heat radiated, turning the ground into scorched earth.
Then, before anyone could react, the fire lotus, at an astonishing speed, tore through the void and appeared before the group from the Three Suns Holy Land.
Under their terrified and suffocating gazes, the fire lotus erupted with a deafening roar.
Rumble!
A thunderous explosion echoed, and extreme radiance illuminated the entire world.
Endless divine might poured out.
"So beautiful!"
Feng Qingyang and Gu Ling, standing nearby, stared blankly at the fire lotus before them.
This fire lotus possessed extreme power while also possessing extreme beauty.
Anyone who gazed upon it would be captivated and unable to break free!
The energy unleashed by the fire lotus instantly engulfed the people of the Three Suns Holy Land, including the elder and Yang Ding Tian. The entire world transformed into a sea of fire.
Silence!
At this moment, the world became utterly tranquil!
No more clamor.
The energy unleashed by the fire lotus was suppressed by Xu Chuan’s Golden Ancient Palace before it could fully spread.
The martial artists at the exit of the Emperor's Tomb were thus spared.
Of course, Xu Chuan also protected those from the Tai Yi Holy Land.
This left the world as one where only the Three Suns Holy Land suffered!
In the epicenter of the fire lotus's explosion, terrifying void storms raged, with crimson lightning flashing.
The entire world could no longer withstand it and began to collapse.
As the light faded and the flames gradually dissipated.
At this moment, the people of the Three Suns Holy Land had completely vanished, leaving not even bones behind.
Only Yang Ding Tian, with the sacrifice of two Heavenly King realm experts protecting him, had barely survived.
But it was only barely.
There wasn't a single intact part of his body. Everywhere were charred wounds, and his blood had run dry.
At this moment, he had finally snapped out of his defeat.
"How could this be..."
Looking at his own wretched state, and then at the disciples of his Holy Land who had accompanied him here.
Yang Ding Tian's lips curled into a bitter smile.
It was all his fault.
If he hadn't constantly provoked Xu Chuan with the lives of the Tai Yi Holy Land group, if he hadn't been so arrogant.
None of this would have happened.
None of them would have died at Xu Chuan's hands.
He had a sudden realization at this moment.
But it was too late.
There was no magic potion for regret in this world. Once a mistake was made, a wrong choice taken, there was no room for reversal.
If only he had known this day would come, why had he acted that way in the first place?
"You are too cruel!"
Yang Ding Tian’s gaze turned to Xu Chuan, his eyes bloodshot as he roared.
Seeing Xu Chuan's indifferent expression, boundless hatred surged in his heart.
Although the cause of everything was his own fault.
It was Xu Chuan who had acted.
With his hatred having nowhere to vent, he naturally turned his target to Xu Chuan.
"I am about to die, but even if I do, I will curse you, that you will face divine retribution!"
"After I die, I will haunt you for eternity, and you will never know peace!"
Yang Ding Tian's face was filled with malice. At this moment, his body was covered in blood and filth. Using the last of his spiritual power, he cast an extremely venomous curse upon Xu Chuan.
Then, his body shattered, his soul dissipated, and he died completely.
