"Knowing not the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Gu Tongtian let out a cold laugh, tinged with playfulness, as if in his eyes, these people before him were mere ants, unworthy of conversation.
"Everyone present, this is a critical moment. We must let them know our might!"
The Lord of Snowfall City spoke, "Even if our souls are scattered and our paths vanish, we will never suffer such insult!"
"A fight to the death!"
The crowd roared, their voices filled with an indomitable spirit.
Having chosen to oppose the Sacred City, they had never considered a safe retreat. Now that the Sacred City had made its move, they would dedicate their entire strength.
Born as humans, how could they be swayed by others? This was something they all understood clearly.
In response to these words, everyone nodded slightly, a smile gracing their lips, their eyes sharpening. Faced with such events, all they could do was give their all in a bid for self-preservation.
"A mere rabble, daring to be insolent before this venerable one!"
Gu Tongtian burst into laughter, an aura instantly surging around him, appearing like a turbulent tide, stirring up endless commotion and striking awe into their hearts.
Witnessing this scene, many faces contorted. They had never anticipated Gu Tongtian's powers to be so formidable; in mere moments, he had instilled a sense of dread in them.
"Is this the might of the Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm?"
Gazing at the spectacle before them, they sighed in disbelief, finding such overwhelming power truly chilling.
"Lord of Snowfall City, with just us, we are likely no match for him!"
The Lord of Peerless City furrowed his brow. "We should quickly deploy the divine artifacts. Only then will we have a chance to fight!"
"Do not forget, the Sacred City also possesses divine artifacts. If we were to use the Snowfall Ice Staff now, he would surely deploy his own. The immense power a Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert can unleash with a divine artifact, I'm sure you and I are well aware of it,"
The Lord of Snowfall City stated frankly. "With the slightest carelessness, we might all perish here!"
Upon hearing these words, the Lord of Peerless City's expression turned grim. He too could sense that the situation was far from simple.
However, at this juncture, he found himself in a predicament. After all, at this crucial moment, if they did not utilize the divine artifacts, they might not even have the opportunity to do so.
Ever since he chose to become an enemy of the Sacred City, he had never thought he would live to leave it.
"Rest assured, as long as we stand united, we shall never fall!" the Lord of Snowfall City reassured them.
Rumble…
At that very instant, a thunderous roar echoed. With the sound, everyone jolted, their internal spiritual energy surging wildly. They could feel Gu Tongtian's formidable aura; a single misstep and they would be consumed by fate.
The four lords did not hold back in the slightest, charging forward forcefully. Among the various combatants, perhaps only they could contend with Gu Tongtian in a battle.
Concurrently, a smile played on Gu Tongtian's lips, a chilling one at that. "Do you truly believe that with your skills, you can do as you please?"
"What if it means death?"
The Lord of Snowfall City narrowed his eyes, his demeanor becoming more indifferent, as if everything were within his control.
"Since that is the case, I shall send you on your way!"
His expression turned cold. In that instant, Gu Tongtian took a step forward, a powerful aura spreading outwards. He met the four lords head-on with a palm strike.
The faces of the four lords turned ashen, their bodies violently flung backward, fresh blood trickling from their lips. They could never have imagined things would come to this.
*Puff…*
The Lord of White Emperor City spat out a mouthful of blood, his face a picture of extreme distress.
"How could it have come to this!" Su Dan Novel Network
His expression grim, the Lord of Snowfall City remarked, "Merely one realm difference, yet such a vast disparity in strength!"
"The Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm is indeed extraordinary!"
Frowning slightly, the Lord of Peerless City spoke, "It seems we are destined to be defeated today. All our efforts have been in vain!"
"Impossible! As long as there is a sliver of hope, no one should give up easily!"
The Lord of Snowfall City urged, his gaze grave. He understood all too well what this meant; a single misstep could spell disaster for them all.
Yet, in response to his words, the others hung their heads in dejection. After all, the reality was laid bare before them: a Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert was not someone they could contend with. All they could do now was await their demise.
"Why must it be this way! If you had not made me your enemy, perhaps you would not have ended up like this!"
Gu Tongtian chuckled lightly. "It is a pity that choices cannot be undone. You are about to perish, and throughout the Desolate Ancient World, I shall reign supreme. No one can alter this!"
"Nonsense!"
The Lord of Snowfall City retorted coldly, attempting to forcefully activate the Snowfall Ice Staff. However, in that very moment, a long sword streaked through the air, directly suppressing it.
"What is happening?"
The White Emperor's brow furrowed. The Snowfall Ice Staff was their last resort. If they could not wield it, it would mean mortal peril for them.
"The Snowfall Ice Staff has been intercepted by the Sacred Sword. It seems we are destined to perish here today!" The Lord of Snowfall City offered a wry smile. This was not what he wished to see, but alas, at this point, even he had no room to maneuver, and his heart was filled with bitter regret.
"How can this be!"
His face instantly turned grim, and the White Emperor knit his brows.
If this were indeed the case, it would undoubtedly be a crushing blow to them.
"I underestimated him. A Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert is indeed formidable!"
The Lord of Snowfall City stated, "At this point, it is ultimately beyond our ability to resist!"
"Is this our fate?"
The Lord of Peerless City gave a bitter laugh. "If I had known this would happen, we wouldn't have done all this!"
"Everyone, don't give up! Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope!"
The Lord of Xuanlong City spoke, "Although Gu Tongtian is powerful, he must have weaknesses!"
"Even if he has weaknesses, it's too late now!"
The Lord of Snowfall City shook his head, gazing at Gu Tongtian who was approaching step by step, his heart filled with helplessness. At this stage, it was unlikely anyone could change the outcome.
"If you were to kneel and beg for mercy now, surrendering your Ice Soul, perhaps I could spare your life, and you could become my slave!"
A slight curl of his lips, the Lord of the Sacred City spoke, his words laced with coldness.
"Even in death, we will never yield to you!" The Lord of Snowfall City chuckled lightly. "You should abandon this idea!"
"What, do you hate me so much?" Gu Tongtian's voice turned cold. "In this world, the strong have always been respected. If you are not their match, you must bear this consequence!"
"Truly laughable. Since you already have the upper hand, why bother with so many superfluous words!"
The Lord of Snowfall City said coldly. "Make your move! Let us see just how ruthless you are!"
