Chapter 183: Chapter 177 Sacrifice Yourself!
That’s right, it’s not it, but them.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
In the sky, figures began to appear, their numbers increasing rapidly.
"How... this..." Su Long turned around and glanced back, his face pale, as he saw figures of special life forms also appearing behind him.
The joy on Princess Bing Qing’s face immediately transformed into fear. She franticly glanced around, retreating involuntarily beside Wang Xu, her small hand clutching tightly onto his sleeve, lips pale, trembling as she spoke, "Wang... Wang Xu, wh-what should we do?"
Seven or eight special life forms were enough to annihilate their four-person team. Now nearly a thousand special life forms had appeared, with numbers still increasing. Princess Bing Qing could imagine the fate they were about to face.
Among the four, only Princess Bing Xun’s face remained slightly calm. Clearly, she had some means of self-protection, yet even she could not remain composed as she saw the special life forms’ increasing abundance, showing a rare troubled expression on her stunning face.
Special life forms continuously surged in from all directions, from the sky, the ground, even hovering above Wang Xu and others.
Their gazes were either hollow, cold, filled with murderous intent, or frenzied and bloodthirsty. With their natural white hole-level strength, their looks were unnerving.
Completely ablaze, bathed in fire, an anthropomorphic flame being...
Cold, broken mechanical parts amalgamated, bearing giant gears on its back, a mechanical being...
Its entire body icy cold, transparent like ice, exuding an aura of cold that drops the surrounding temperature. An icy crystalline life form with eyes like sharp ice crystals...
Broken into many sections, tattered, with only one wooden leg, creaking with each step like screeching zippers, and a mouth like a zipper muttering in a tone as unpleasant as torn fabric...
One by one, these special life forms, evolved over endless ages, seeped in the Cosmic Law, endowed with spirituality, rushed from various parts of Tai Long Peak, gathering here.
Roar!
A deafening roar pierced the sky, causing the earth to tremble. A colossal shadow approached, a special life form with decaying flesh wriggling all over its body. It opened its gigantic mouth, revealing spiraling layers of "suction tubes" oozing repulsive slime.
"The strongest white hole-level..." Wang Xu’s face looked ashen.
"And there’s an invincible white hole-level one," Su Long swallowed hard, his gaze landing on the special life form in the sky with a pair of black fleshy wings.
"All the special life forms from Tai Long Peak have gathered," Princess Bing Xun took a deep breath, speaking heavily.
"What do we do... What do we do..." Tears welled up in Princess Bing Qing’s eyes, surrounded by so many special life forms, it seemed certain they would die. In the face of life and death, her fearless courage had melted away.
Wang Xu forced himself to stay calm. He had faced life and death situations many times, his nature was strong; with a slight thought, his gaze fell on the Five-Colored Stone in Princess Bing Qing’s hand.
"They’re here for the Five-Colored Stone," Su Long also realized this point, speaking with dry lips.
"Then I don’t want the Five-Colored Stone anymore, I’ll throw it away!" Princess Bing Qing exclaimed as soon as she heard, eager to escape this terror pressure, she hurriedly prepared to throw away the Five-Colored Stone in her hand.
"Wait!" Wang Xu spoke up, "Princess Bing Qing, give me the Five-Colored Stone."
"Wang Xu! What do you want it for? The special life forms will attack you, now is not the time for greed!" Princess Bing Qing exclaimed anxiously.
Wang Xu took one look at the special life forms around them and said, "Haven’t you noticed? Their targets are not just the Five-Colored Stone, but also us."
Su Long and the others turned around and saw that indeed, the special life forms’ eyes revealed killing intent. Clearly, there was only one Five-Colored Stone, and as guardians, they must kill all beings who had possessed the Five-Colored Stone.
"Now I finally understand why no one has ever obtained the Five-Colored Stone," Su Long took a deep breath, "Those who got the Five-Colored Stone all died in the onslaught of special life forms. Against such a terrifying force, no one could withstand it. Even if there were millions of black hole-level entities from the Cosmic Country here, it would probably make no difference."
Special life forms are all white hole-level, it’s easy for one white hole-level to deal with ten black hole-levels. This can be seen on the border battlefield, where a few white hole-level power comparable foreign aid could determine the outcome of a border battlefield.
It’s the same at Tai Long Peak.
No matter how many black hole-levels arrive, if they find the Five-Colored Stone, the special life forms will act together, and they absolutely cannot take it away.
This is why, for so many years, no one has ever obtained, or even seen, the Five-Colored Stone.
Because everyone who saw the Five-Colored Stone... all died.
"Princess Bing Qing, please give me the Five-Colored Stone," Wang Xu took a deep breath and said.
"But... but if I give it to you, you’ll die!" Princess Bing Qing was almost crying with anxiety.
Wang Xu intended to sacrifice himself so that they could escape!
Princess Bing Qing understood this all too well.
"No, I will survive," Wang Xu looked at everyone, "Among the four of us, my body technique is the strongest. If I take the Five-Colored Stone and leave, they will surely pursue me for it, giving you the chance to escape."
"Princess Bing Xun, if I’m not mistaken, you should have a life-saving treasure, and with Su Long escorting, even if some of the special life forms pursue you, you can still leave safely."
Princess Bing Xun nodded slightly, "You’re right, but this means you must go in the opposite direction from us."
"You’ll die," Princess Bing Xun stated solemnly.
"Go ahead, if you delay any longer, no one will get away." Wang Xu took the Five-Colored Stone, speaking heavily.
Princess Bing Qing was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, she opened her mouth to speak, but Wang Xu’s determined gaze fell upon her, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"Princess Bing Qing, if I cannot return this time, I hope you can take care of my homeland," Wang Xu whispered, his eyes gazing towards the direction of Earth.
"My hometown is called Earth."
Whoosh!
As Wang Xu finished speaking, the sword shadow beneath his feet, devoid of any sharp edge, appeared, and his figure shot forth like a beam of light, swiftly crossing past the special lifeforms blocking his way, flying off into the distance.
The special lifeforms all let out roars, their figures promptly following closely behind.
They are the guardians of the Colorful Stone, and the first task bestowed upon them by the Cosmic Law, once they gained spirituality, was to guard the Colorful Stone and kill anyone trying to seize it.
This is their destiny.
Thousands of special lifeforms frantically pursued Wang Xu, among them was the strongest of the White Hole Level, invincible White Hole Level special lifeforms whose figures turned into streaks of light, moving extremely fast, almost matching Wang Xu’s speed.
......
As Wang Xu expected, a small portion of the special lifeforms stayed behind. However, even a small portion still comprised over a hundred special lifeforms, and they indiscriminately launched an attack on Princess Bing Qing and the other two.
Whoosh!
Princess Bing Xun waved her hand, and a faint yellow misty circular shield enveloped the three of them.
"Let’s go!" Following the command, the three figures shot forth, flying towards the Bronze Giant Gate.
The attacks of the special lifeforms fell on the faint yellow shield, merely causing slight ripples, unable to shake it in the slightest.
"Sister, you have such a treasure, why didn’t you give one to Wang Xu? This way, his chances of surviving would be greater!" Princess Bing Qing exclaimed with red eyes.
"This is the ’Mixed Spirit Shield’, a one-time use treasure. I only have this one left. If I gave it to Wang Xu, none of us could escape," said Princess Bing Xun calmly, "Although the Mixed Spirit Shield can withstand an attack from the Mixed Universe Realm, it can only last for five minutes. If we can’t reach the entrance in five minutes, we’ll all be buried together."
Su Long’s face turned crimson, his fists slowly clenching. He is a genius of the Cosmic Alliance, with his own pride and dignity, having absolute confidence in his strength.
But now, faced with a genuine predicament, it wasn’t him stepping forward, but the disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion he wished to challenge.
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.
Without even the qualification to protect others, how can one speak of being a genius, of dignity, of being strong?
Wang Xu’s body technique speed is fast, that’s a fact. Only by him leading away the special lifeforms with the Five-Colored Stone, do others stand a chance of survival.
Even if Su Long wanted to step forward, he had to consider the lives of the two princesses.
This matter could only be done by Wang Xu... there was no choice.
"Wang Xu... you have to survive," Princess Bing Qing said, watching the direction Wang Xu disappeared into, a tear silently slipping down her face onto a green pendant on her chest. The pendant trembled slightly, emitting a faint green light.
......
In the National Hall, the Sovereign sat in the center, Yin Gu at his side, the two discussing something.
Suddenly, the Sovereign’s face changed, taking a big step forward, and with a swift change of time and space, his figure appeared before the Bronze Giant Gate in an instant.
"Greetings to the Sovereign!"
"Greetings to the Sovereign!"
All the royal nobles in the village were astonished, immediately kneeling in salute, wondering why the Sovereign appeared here.
"It’s actually Tai Long Peak... Bing Qing is in danger, Yin Gu!" The Sovereign’s expression was extremely grim.
"Sovereign." Yin Gu’s figure appeared.
"Quickly assign people to enter Tai Long Peak, we must get Bing Qing out!" The Sovereign said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Yin Gu’s figure disappeared at once.
"Hear the Sovereign’s command!" The Sovereign’s authoritative voice echoed in everyone’s mind.
"Set off immediately for Tai Long Peak, and be sure to bring Princess Bing Qing back. Those meritorious will be heavily rewarded!"
"Yes!" The descendants of the royal nobles dared not slacken, immediately flying into the Bronze Giant Gate.
The Sovereign frowned, his heart filled with worry.
He had left the "Shattered Life Jade" intentionally from Bing Qing and Bing Xun to temper the two sisters, fearing they would rely on him and not gain true experience.
But the Sovereign secretly left a mark on their pendants, which would activate upon contact with blood or tears.
The moment Princess Bing Qing’s pendant activated, the Sovereign sensed it.
But faced with Tai Long Peak, he was helpless.
Tai Long Peak only allowed those below the White Hole Level to enter, a restrictive law left by the "Palace Master" that he couldn’t reverse, only assigning a Black Hole Level person to enter Tai Long Peak to rescue Bing Qing.
"Bing Qing... you must come back safely!" The Sovereign prayed in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian () to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to to read.)
