#2134 - The second batch of dark warriors cross over

"That is Lord Divine!"

Inside Bianhuang City, people saw Jun Wuxie emerge from the Holy Temple and then depart into the distance.

Everyone's gaze followed his heroic, albeit weary, back view until it disappeared from sight.

Where is Lord Divine going?

People's hearts were filled with worry.

They could all see that Lord Divine's condition was not good; this fierce battle against hundreds of thousands of dark powerhouses had come at a great cost.

However, the deluge of the apocalypse had not ended; the dark powerhouses were awaiting reinforcements and would soon launch another attack.

Jun Wuxie arrived at the mountains behind Bianhuang City.

He stood on the summit of a towering peak, overlooking the vast landscape, taking in the entirety of Bianhuang City.

He stood there for a moment.

Then, he sat down cross-legged and took out a large amount of divine materials, beginning to inscribe rune arrays.

This rune array was called the Qiankun Soul Gathering Array, capable of gathering soul light scattered between heaven and earth.

As long as the soul light was still within the Upper Realm universe and had not entered a special space, it could be forcibly gathered.

He kept inscribing, creating a large number of Qiankun Soul Gathering Arrays.

After that, he began to create Soul Nourishing Rune Arrays.

Once the two types of rune arrays were completed, he began to condense military path killing talismans.

These military path killing talismans were much more powerful than the talismans he had initially given to the people around him to protect them in the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm.

The talismans consumed a great deal of his energy and lifeblood.

He looked even older.

He refined all the corpses of the dark universe powerhouses, extracting dark energy, the source of the True World, and life essence.

He used some of the life essence to replenish his consumption, gradually restoring his appearance to the middle-aged state he had been in before condensing the killing talismans.

That was the most he could restore himself to; to regain his former youthful appearance, he would have to repair the Wheel of Life.

"Young Master."

Suzaku silently appeared beside him.

"Aunt You."

Jun Wuxie smiled gently at Suzaku.

Suzaku was silent, her beautiful eyes gradually filling with tears.

"Aunt You, don't cry. Aren't I doing well now?"

Suzaku sighed, "Aunt You knows what you're going to do…"

"I have the Innate Immortal Art."

"Aunt You knows, but…"

"It will be fine."

Jun Wuxie interrupted Suzaku.

"Young Master, go see the Princess."

Suzaku said no more, but her heart was heavy.

Although she knew he possessed the Innate Immortal Art, his life had been too difficult and tiring.

From the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, in just over a hundred years, the burdens of two worlds had weighed on his shoulders.

Jun Wuxie nodded and entered the Eternal Life Divine Hall.

Ye Qingxue was in the Divine Hall, standing there, facing the Town-Universe Tower, her back to him, her figure looking somewhat lonely.

"Nannan."

Jun Wuxie came up behind her and called out softly.

Ye Qingxue turned around, her pair of clear, cold eyes trembling slightly as she gazed at him.

Their eyes met.

Her eyes gradually filled with tears.

"It will be fine, trust me."

Jun Wuxie embraced her and gently stroked her soft, dark hair.

"I…" Ye Qingxue hugged him tightly, as if trying to meld herself into his flesh and blood, and said quietly, "My heart aches so much."

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie's heart trembled slightly. He cupped her beautiful face, filled with pain, lowered his head, and kissed her charming red lips, saying, "When I pacify the heavens and carve out a prosperous and eternal world, it won't hurt anymore."

…

Jun Wuxie stayed in the Eternal Life Divine Hall for several days.

After coming out, he went straight to the city tower of Bianhuang City and found Anning.

Anning was dealing with matters related to the repair of the fortresses.

"You may all withdraw."

Jun Wuxie dismissed the military generals and the female guards beside Anning.

"Husband, why didn't you heal your wounds and come here instead?"

Anning stroked his face, feeling both distressed and worried.

"I'm fine; I came to see my Ning'er and, by the way, I have something to give you."

Jun Wuxie revealed a relaxed smile, as bright and warm as ever.

He took out a storage ring containing the Qiankun Soul Gathering Rune Array and the Soul Nourishing Rune Array and placed it in Anning's hand.

"These rune arrays can gather the shattered and dissipated souls of the fallen soldiers and help them nourish their souls so that they can reunite their bodies in the future.

You are the Emperor, so you will be the one to arrange these matters."

"Then what about you, husband?"

"Me? After this battle, my injuries will inevitably be severe, and I will have to go into seclusion to heal."

As he spoke, he summoned two precious towers and an ancient bronze hall, "To prevent the Trial Tower from being destroyed in the fierce battle, Ning'er, you should keep it safe for now. The masters are still merging their bodies and souls within the precious tower.

The Nine Beginning Exquisite Pagoda and the Eight-Nine Profound Hall are temporarily in your care.

To avoid any variables during the fighting and falling into the hands of the enemy."

Anning trembled all over, suddenly grabbing his arm, biting her lip, stubbornly shaking her head, tears rolling down her face.

"No! Don't, I beg you, Ning'er begs you, don't!"

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? I'm just preventing accidents and letting you keep them temporarily.

You don't think I'm planning to perish together with the dark powerhouses, do you?"

"No!"

Anning let out an almost roaring sound, then her whole body seemed to lose strength, and she knelt on the ground, holding his leg tightly with both hands, sobbing, "Ning'er begs you, let's not care about the Upper Realm, okay? You take us to the Godly Ancient World, we leave here, woo woo, we leave here…"

"Ning'er."

Jun Wuxie felt a pang in his heart as he looked at her like this.

He picked her up and let her sit in his arms.

"Ning'er, look at me, don't cry anymore, okay?"

Jun Wuxie gently wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Some things cannot be avoided.

Our heavens have several major worlds that absolutely cannot fall into the hands of darkness; otherwise, there may be no hope in the future.

Do you remember when we first met?"

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile, "Speaking of our first meeting, I knew you first, but you didn't know me at that time.

At that time, you, a county lord whose status was no lower than a princess, known as the Female Zhuge, were strategizing.

Looking back on the initial stage of our acquaintance, I was a little too fierce to you."

"Husband also knows? Ning'er felt so wronged at that time; sometimes I felt that you were so hateful, but I still wanted to see you, I was full of curiosity about you, I was conquered by your methods, and my heart always involuntarily leaned towards you, but Ning'er deceived herself and told herself, and also told Father, that I wanted to conquer you.

In fact, Ning'er had already been conquered by your excellence without realizing it…"

"Ah, I was afraid that you would fall in love with me and didn't want to hurt you.

After all, the grievances between your father and Qingyun were difficult to resolve, and you would only be caught in the middle."

"But, people had already fallen in love with you unconsciously…

You are so domineering, so strong, so wise, so powerful, and you always show methods that are convincing.

How many women in the world can resist your charm, a great man as excellent as you?

Which of the sisters is not a proud daughter of heaven, but which one is not wholeheartedly devoted to you?

Even a woman like Sister Ciyin is willing to do anything for you, let alone Ning'er…

The worst thing you did was in the mountains at the junction of Hanzhou. You clearly knew that people liked you in their heart, but you still threw people on the ground. You don't know how sad people were at that time…"

"Well, it was wrong of me. I was too fierce to you back then, and in recent years, I have often been away from Canglan, unable to accompany you, and have handed over the burden of the entire dynasty to you.

It's just that the path we have chosen is difficult and bumpy, destined to be full of thorns.

When the heavens are pacified in the future, I will definitely compensate you well, compensate all of you.

At that time, there will be no more fighting in the heavens, we will have no more worries, and we only need to be with each other every day."

Anning's eyes, still wet with tears, lit up with longing and anticipation, "Those days are really longing…"

"So, Ning'er, you have to trust me.

This time to quell the apocalypse deluge, the process will be very cruel, but the final result will be good.

No matter what happens, you must be full of hope."

"Yes, Ning'er will listen to you, trust you.

Husband, don't let Ning'er down."

"No, I won't.

By the way, after the fortress defense line is repaired, you will send all the reserve legions to each fortress.

The number of dark armies in the second attack will not be as many as in the first battle.

If we gather more troops, we can improve the efficiency of killing enemies and reduce casualties."

After he finished speaking, he inscribed a talisman in Anning's palm, "This is a talisman that can communicate with the Eight-Nine Profound Hall.

If you find any abnormalities in the Nine Beginning Exquisite Pagoda, immediately open the Eight-Nine Profound Hall and guide the tower into the Profound Hall."

He had sealed Jiu'er in the tower when he greeted the dark powerhouses because he didn't want her to participate in this battle.

He knew Jiu'er too well.

Although Jiu'er was very strong, he didn't want her to face so many dark powerhouses with him; otherwise, it would have serious consequences for her.

Even he needed to pay such a price, let alone Jiu'er, she would fall!

"Ning'er understands.

Husband, when the second batch of dark powerhouses attack, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Mentioning this, Anning became nervous and uneasy again.

"I have my own way.

Remember my words, no matter what happens, you must be full of hope and have absolute confidence in your man!"

"Okay."

Anning's beautiful eyes gazed at him, trembling slightly, and she took the initiative to offer her red lips, kissing his face and lips, tears falling silently.

No matter what he decided to do.

She knew she couldn't stop him.

In that case, as his woman, the only thing she could do was unconditionally support him.

Even though it might be cruel to her.

But he had made a promise.

He had told her to believe in him and to be full of hope.

Since he had said so, what reason did she have not to believe him?

… …

The days passed.

Jun Wuxie never healed or recuperated.

For him, healing and recuperation were meaningless.

What he had lost was a large amount of lifespan, which could not be recovered by healing.

The cracks all over the Wheel of Life in his body could not be repaired by simple healing either; it required special resources and a long time.

In the current situation, there was obviously no time, nor were there corresponding special resources.

During these days, his women were all healing, as was his daughter, and the old friends were also healing.

Therefore, he spent almost every day with Anning, making up for the years of neglect.

One day.

A monstrous dark aura surged from the Dark Abyss.

He immediately contacted Chan'er to learn about the situation of the Boundary Road from her.

Chan'er said that the number of the dark army and strong men crossing the boundary this time was astonishing, almost reaching the number of the first batch.

Therefore, the total load-bearing capacity of the Dark Boundary Road had reached its limit.

This meant that after this group of people crossed the boundary, the Dark Universe could no longer send anyone across the boundary.

Chan'er also told him that the Dark Emperor had arrived, leading the army in person, bringing with him the ten war god-level powerhouses under his command, each of whom was a top-level Half-step God King, much stronger than the first batch of Half-step God Kings.

"Finally here, Dark Emperor, I've been waiting for you."

Jun Wuxie stood in front of the city tower, looking at the monstrous dark aura at the end of his sight outside the city.

He stepped out of the city, treading the void, and walked towards the Dark Abyss.

Woo—

Inside the Borderland City, the war horn sounded.

The three armies and soldiers of the entire city took their positions one after another.

One legion after another quickly assembled, opened the city gates, rushed out of the city, set up battle formations, and cut off the million-mile battlefield.

Inside the Holy Palace, the people who were healing rushed out upon hearing the horn.

Their injuries had healed, and they had been warming up their energy and spirit these days.

Now, they had all recovered to their peak state, and there were still soldierly killing runes that Jun Wuxie had planted in their bodies some time ago.

At this time, Jun Wuxie was walking towards the dark continent floating above the Dark Abyss.

Looking from afar, in that vast area, the monstrous dark energy was surging, but there was only his lonely figure on the earth.

Xiao Ruoqing wanted to leave the city, but Anning held her tightly.

"Ruoqing, you have your own responsibilities, this is your husband's arrangement!

Now, you should return to your respective fortresses!"

"Ruoqing, let's go."

Nalan Jingyi held Xiao Ruoqing's hand and said softly: "If he falls, we will accompany him to the Yellow Springs.

Before that, execute his arrangements and listen to him!"

Xiao Ruoqing tapped her toes on the ground and turned into a streak of purple light, disappearing into the long sky leading to the fortress, leaving only two crystal tears scattered in the air.
