From initially resisting him, she gradually began to accept him; yes, they fell in love.

What makes Taurus sad is that Virgo's pride is gone, and Taurus even feels inferior when they are with him.

This made him very upset, so he vowed to kill the Vermilion Bird Guardian.

But now that the Virgo Emperor is near death, he is unable to free his hands and can only watch helplessly.

He wanted to struggle, to break free from the five-in-one primordial spirit, and to save the Virgo Star Emperor.

"Hold on!" the Leo Star Emperor roared at him. "If you leave, we will all die."

The five primordial spirits combined were barely able to fight the Xuanwu Guardian to a standstill. If the Golden Bull Star Emperor were to leave, the other four of them would likely be killed by the Xuanwu Guardian.

In this situation, the answer is obvious compared to the death of four Star Emperors compared to the death of one Virgo Star Emperor.

"Ah..." The Vermilion Bird, containing scorching energy, instantly passed through Virgo Star Emperor's primordial spirit and body.

A shrill scream rang out, and Virgo Star Emperor's primordial spirit instantly shattered. Virgo Star Emperor immediately spat out blood, and the next second, thick flames burst into flames on her body.

A piercing scream echoed through the void. Before long, Virgo Star Emperor was burned beyond recognition by the scorching flames of the Vermilion Bird.

"Ah Yun." The Taurus Star Emperor cried out in shock upon seeing this scene. This burly, bull-like fellow was crying, crying his heart out. The next second, he seemed to have made a decision, and the five-in-one primordial spirit that was fighting against the Xuanwu Guardian began to collapse.

"Taurus, what are you doing?" Leo Star Emperor and the other three Star Emperors shouted immediately.

"I'm sorry, I promised A-Yun that I would help her kill the Vermilion Bird," Taurus said, looking at the Star Emperors.

"Damn it, you can't kill Suzaku, you'll only get us killed instead," said Leo Star Emperor.

However, when Taurus Star Emperor saw Virgo Star Emperor, whose face was burned beyond recognition by the flames, he immediately made a decision.

"I'm sorry, I promised A-Yun." Taurus said, and then left instantly.

"Stay calm, our four-in-one primordial spirits can also put up a fight," the Leo Star Emperor hurriedly said.

"Vermilion Bird, prepare to die!" The Golden Bull Star Emperor charged towards the Vermilion Bird. His Golden Bull Primordial Spirit was bathed in golden light, and a powerful impact forced the Vermilion Bird Guardian to dodge.

The Taurus spirit missed its target and did not pursue the Vermilion Bird guardian.

In a one-on-one fight, even the Taurus Star Emperor was no match for the Vermilion Bird Guardian.

"Ah Yun." The Taurus Star Emperor rushed straight to the burning Virgo Star Emperor, ignoring the scorching flames of the Vermilion Bird, and hugged the Virgo Star Emperor tightly.

The blazing flames engulfed his strong body, and he too was soon ablaze.

"Aman, quickly... quickly let... me go." The Virgo Star Emperor, who had been screaming in agony, looked at the Taurus Star Emperor who was holding her and ignoring the burns from the flames, and suddenly said intermittently.

"Ah Yun, I can't kill the Vermilion Bird, I'm sorry." The Golden Bull Star Emperor held on tightly, even though the burning flames caused him some pain, he just wouldn't let go.

"Get off me!" Virgo Star Emperor struggled. "You killed Suzaku, you killed her."

"Ah Yun, I can't do it. I want to die with you." Taurus Star Emperor said with tears streaming down his face. "I don't actually like fighting and killing. I just want to be with you, forever. What's the point of me living if you die? Ah Yun, do you know? In my heart, you are the most beautiful."

"Aman, let me go... let me go!" Virgo Star Emperor struggled and said.

Does she dislike the Taurus Star Emperor? No! Although she is very self-conscious because her appearance was ruined, she is the Virgo Star Emperor! She is proud at heart.

The love and unwavering devotion of the Taurus Star Emperor gradually moved her.

At first, she liked the Scorpio Star Emperor, and the Scorpio Star Emperor was also interested in her. At that time, she had a face that could launch a thousand ships. Although she knew that the Taurus Star Emperor liked her, in her eyes, the Taurus Star Emperor only liked her appearance. She would never look at this rough and uncouth man.

But when her face was disfigured by Suzaku, Scorpio suddenly became indifferent to her. Only Taurus showed no disgust towards her. She was gradually moved and slowly discovered all the good qualities of this rough and unrefined man.

He was honest, decisive, and obedient to her in every way. Even when she was furious because of her disfigurement, he endured his temper without complaint.

As death approaches, one realizes what is truly important. At this moment, she let go of her hatred for the Vermilion Bird, looked at the Golden Bull Star Emperor, and embraced him tightly.

"Ah Man, thank you. I'm ugly now, aren't I?" The Virgo Star Emperor was completely unrecognizable, but at this moment, the Taurus Star Emperor looked at the Virgo Star Emperor with deep affection.

“Ah Yun, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful,” said Taurus Star Emperor.

"Vermilion Bird, let's wipe the hatchet of our hatred. Please grant my wish," Taurus suddenly said.

Taurus's actions baffled Zhuque. How could someone like him choose to die for love? She couldn't understand it at all.

However, Zhuque did not hesitate. Zhuque's primordial spirit immediately burst forth with raging flames, instantly passing through Taurus's primordial spirit, Taurus Star Emperor, and Virgo Star Emperor.

The Taurus primordial spirit shattered instantly, and intense flames engulfed the Taurus Star Emperor and Virgo Star Emperor who were embracing each other.

However, neither of them screamed or suffered any pain; instead, they felt mostly happiness.

The two embraced tightly, and were eventually burned to ashes by the flames.

Thus, two of the twelve Star Emperors have fallen.

"Utterly foolish." At this moment, Xi Ya saw this scene in the domain. Her calm expression changed, and she crushed the phone in her hand.

Hua Shen didn't say anything while watching this scene, but Xi Ya's actions surprised him. Could this woman have been hurt by love before?

As for the love between the Virgo Star Emperor and the Taurus Star Emperor, their eventual death together was not touching in Hua Shen's eyes. He actually hoped that there would be more couples like them among these Star Emperors.

"Damn it! That foolish Taurus." At this moment, the four-in-one primordial spirit was being suppressed by Xuanwu. The Leo Star Emperor gritted his teeth and said. Although the Taurus Star Emperor was no match for Zhuque in a one-on-one fight, he could at least hold out for a while. But this guy gave up resisting and died because of love.

Is this love tragic? Not at all. The tragic ones are them. The Vermilion Bird Guardian suddenly joined the battle. Their four-in-one primordial spirits were already at a disadvantage. With the addition of the Vermilion Bird, they were immediately forced into retreat, powerless to resist.

Isn't this all because of the Taurus Star Emperor? This has put them in a deadly situation.

However, the Azure Dragon, facing the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit, was now at a disadvantage. There was nothing it could do! The Azure Dragon Armor Transformation was a battle technique that burned life force, and it would become weaker and weaker over time, eventually leading to death.

Boom boom boom...

With the help of the Vermilion Bird's protection, the four-in-one primordial spirit was defeated and retreated steadily. The four Star Emperors even coughed up blood and were unable to hold on any longer.

"Vermilion Bird Burns the Heavens." The Vermilion Bird's primordial spirit continuously released flames, which relentlessly attacked the four-in-one primordial spirit. Meanwhile, the Black Tortoise, wielding a large hammer, also launched a continuous attack, forcing the four-in-one primordial spirit to defend itself, a truly pitiful sight.

"If I die, you will all die too," the Xuanwu guardian said as he hammered.

At this moment, the four Star Emperors of the unified primordial spirit were already struggling to hold on, and the unified primordial spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Deep within the sacred mountain, the battle between the White Tiger Guardian and the Butcher Star Emperor was nearing its end. The White Tiger Guardian, once a guardian who commanded respect across the land, was now facing the greatest crisis of his life. The indestructible White Tiger armor he wore was beginning to crumble, and his once middle-aged face now showed signs of age and exhaustion. Wrinkles covered his face, and his body was steadily aging.

Butcher Star Emperor, another being possessing immense power, stood opposite him, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He looked at the White Tiger Guardian, his tone tinged with regret: "White Tiger, your combat prowess is indeed overwhelming. Even though my cultivation surpasses yours, and my divine artifact is superior to your White Tiger Totem, I ultimately fought to a draw against you in your armored state. However, your power was gained at the cost of your life; it cannot last forever."

The White Tiger Guardian's eyes flashed with resentment. He was unwilling to accept defeat. He had fought with his back to the wall, only to end up like this. He suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed, his laughter filled with bitterness and helplessness: "Hahaha...hahaha...Heavens! Are you trying to destroy my China?!" His voice echoed in the empty valley, as if telling of his despair and anger.

However, reality is cruel. The power of the White Tiger Guardian had indeed reached its limit, his life was constantly slipping away, his body was growing increasingly withered, and his White Tiger armor had completely disappeared. The White Tiger totem slowly appeared above his head, and the Butcher Star Emperor, upon seeing the White Tiger totem, immediately moved and grabbed it.

Whether the White Tiger Guardian lives or dies is not important; what matters is the White Tiger Totem. If the White Tiger Totem is preserved, no new White Tiger Guardian will ever appear in China again. As the saying goes, to cut the weeds, you must remove the roots; the White Tiger Totem is the root.

The White Tiger Guardian's expression changed as he watched the Butcher Star Emperor heading straight for the White Tiger Totem. He gritted his teeth! He could die, but the White Tiger Totem absolutely could not be lost.

If it's lost, it's like the Qilin totem—it can never be retrieved.

"The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return, ha ha..." The White Tiger Guardian laughed loudly, his body quickly withering away.

“Years ago, I witnessed the fleeting beauty of the night-blooming cereus and was deeply moved. I specially comprehended a move called ‘Fleeting Beauty’.” Although the White Tiger Guardian’s body was withered and his life force was fading, the power in his body was like a surging river. “This move, just like its name, only lasts for a moment before turning to dust.”

At this moment, Gu Yu and Huangfu Kui looked at the Source Gate. Neither of them dared to approach it. With just one strike, the Cockroach King, who was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, and the Corpse Beetle King, whose defense was amazing, were seriously injured and fell unconscious. If the two of them went forward, they would probably suffer the same fate under a sudden attack.

"What should we do?" Huangfu Kui asked Gu Yu. Unbeknownst to him, this commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Military Region had come to regard Gu Yu as his backbone.

"I don't know." Gu Yu shook his head. He wanted to ask Huangfu Kui what to do, but the other party beat him to it.

roar………

Just then, a giant beast suddenly emerged from the source gate, wielding a spiked club and looking ferocious.

"Never mind." The God-Slaying Array Disc appeared in Gu Yu's hand, and the Yin-Yang Amplification Array activated instantly. With his other hand, holding a wooden sword, he rushed towards the source gate and slashed at the giant beast that had just come out. When the giant beast saw Gu Yu, it trembled. It remembered the human in front of it. He was the guy who had rushed into their world and slaughtered everyone.

It held its spiked club horizontally, blocking Gu Yu's knife strike.

roar………

The behemoth sensed Gu Yu's power and was somewhat puzzled. Theoretically, Gu Yu shouldn't be this weak. It immediately swung its spiked club, and Gu Yu was sent flying.

Huangfu Kui was about to step forward, but Gu Yu stopped him.

"Commander Huangfu, let them out," Gu Yu said. One giant beast wasn't worth using his ultimate move on; he would release more of them.

Although Huangfu Kui was unaware of Gu Yu's plans, he still stopped his forward momentum.

roar…………

The giant beast, wielding a spiked club, charged towards Gu Yu in an instant, but Gu Yu dodged it.

"Everyone, retreat," Huangfu Kui said.

boom…………

Gu Yu was sent flying again by the spiked club. There was nothing he could do; his combat strength was now far inferior to that of the giant beast. The difference between the combat strength of the early stage of the Emperor Realm and that of the peak Emperor Realm was not small.

roar………

With no obstruction, several giant beasts emerged from around the Source Gate and charged towards the humans in the vicinity.

"Sword Nourishing Technique." Gu Yu suddenly floated into the air, and 32.5 million strands of energy immediately emanated from him. The inscriptions on the wooden sword lit up instantly. At this moment, Gu Yu was like the sun, turning the surroundings from darkness into daylight.

"Open the Heavens." Gu Yu slashed down with his sword, and the pupils of those giant beasts immediately contracted. They remembered what had happened before and turned to return to the Source Gate, but the Source Gate could only accommodate one giant beast at a time.

Click...

boom…………

The blade's energy slashed through the giant beasts' bodies, instantly piercing them. Several giant beasts that had just emerged from the Source Gate were killed by Gu Yu with a single strike.

Huangfu Kui's eyes widened at the sight. He recalled the scene of killing the giant beast, which was no easy feat, but Gu Yu did it as if he were cutting melons and vegetables.

The other human warriors were overjoyed to see this; Gu Yu's power gave them hope.

roar………

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from inside the Source Gate, which immediately turned the joyful crowd into fear.

They swore that this was the first time in their lives they had ever heard such a terrifying roar, a roar that seemed to come from the deepest hell, making their hearts tremble.

The next second, a black lightning bolt shot out from the source gate, and Gu Yu's pupils shrank.

"Sword Nurturing Technique, Heaven Opening." Without hesitation, Gu Yu unleashed a powerful ultimate move, the massive blade energy colliding with the black lightning.

The collision of the two forces produced a deafening roar, causing the space to hum continuously. An energy ripple swept through the surrounding ice and snow, forcing human warriors to retreat rapidly. However, many were still caught in the blast, including some high-tech weapons, which were instantly annihilated.

Gu Yu was instantly sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, disappearing without a trace.

"Gu Yu!" Ri Jiu and Zhang Huangling exclaimed upon seeing this scene.

"It's over." Huangfu Kui's face was extremely ugly when he saw this scene. Who could withstand such an attack? He was a peak Emperor Realm cultivator and had not yet recovered. If he faced such an attack, one blow would severely injure him, just like the Cockroach King.

roar…………

As the last wisp of energy dissipated into the air, the tranquility of Changbai Mountain was shattered by a sudden commotion. Countless enormous and incredibly powerful beasts surged out from the source gate. Their massive bodies were like moving mountains, and every step they took made the entire Changbai Mountain tremble, as if the earth itself was shaking at their appearance.

At the foot of Mount Gaobai, ordinary people who had been immersed in the joy of the New Year looked up at the majestic mountain range. They had initially thought it was just an ordinary earthquake or thunder, but the tremors and deafening roar made them realize the seriousness of the situation. In an instant, the once cheerful streets fell silent, leaving only terrified eyes and rapid breathing.

"Follow me and kill them!" Huangfu Kui stood atop Mount Gaobai, watching the colossal beasts pouring out from the Source Gate, a resolute glint in his eyes. Although he still felt lingering fear from the black lightning attack of the three-headed Mandora, he knew there was no turning back now. If these beasts broke through the defenses and descended Mount Gaobai, it would be a devastating catastrophe for the city and its people.

One after another, colossal beasts emerged from the source gate, their massive bodies suffocating the warriors. To them, these beasts were like messengers from hell, carrying an aura of destruction and death.

"Kill! Protect our homeland!" One by one, soldiers stepped forward, their eyes resolute and courageous. Despite their fear, they knew that as soldiers, as members of the military, they could not back down. Their duty was to protect their homeland, to protect this land they loved so dearly.

In an instant, Mount Gaobai was filled with the shouts of warriors and the roars of giant beasts. They brandished their weapons and charged towards the enormous creatures. Although they knew they were no match for them, they still pressed forward bravely, using their own flesh and blood to build lines of defense, trying to stop the beasts' attack.

At the same time, countless laser cannons were activated. Although the laser cannons were not very effective against the giant beasts, they were the only weapons for many ordinary soldiers.

The colossal beast's massive body smashed wildly, striking warriors one after another, costing them their precious lives. The fierce battle raged on, and just then, countless figures flew in from afar, joining the fray, but to no avail.

"Sword Immortal Li Taibai, I have one sword, and another sword, never mind, I'll unleash all twelve swords at once and kill these monsters."

"Combined attack tactics, Pisces set sail."

"White Tiger Primordial Spirit".
