But in his heart, Shen Qian was filled with sorrow.
Although he had lost consciousness, he knew as soon as he opened his eyes that the system had definitely succeeded.
But the key point is that the system only has 6% energy left!
The system is constantly issuing red warnings, making me dizzy and lightheaded; it's clearly on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Chen Qian glanced at the AFK log and knew that the system had summoned the Great Dao projection.
He just hadn't expected that doing something like this would be so energy-consuming.
However, with the death of the Great Protector, this "gate" should be destroyed. As long as Originium is produced, the problem can be solved on the spot.
At this moment, Shen Qian wasn't intentionally trying to stay in Venus's arms; he was simply exhausted.
Forcibly bearing a ten-zhang-high road was far beyond Chen Qian's current limit. However, with the protection of his half-baked Arhat Golden Body and the system's precise calculations, he appeared to be unharmed.
However, his internal energy was completely drained, and his meridians, bones, and flesh were all in a weakened state after being overloaded, so he really couldn't muster any strength.
Why do I feel that the vitality of the world has not been extinguished?
Venus didn't pay attention to Shen Qian's little actions, only giving him a reproachful glare before quickly shifting her attention to other things. After concentrating on sensing, Venus asked a question.
"Because... the life force of this world does not rest on the Great Protector."
Number 56 coughed a few times and spoke slowly.
The three were taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and turned around abruptly.
As far as the eye can see, the towering ancient trees swaying in the wind, though their branches and leaves are scattered, still exude a vigorous vitality.
"It seems we still need to destroy this tree."
Venus raised an eyebrow, put the sinker behind her back, and was about to step forward.
The thousands of powerful members of the Spirit Witch Clan who sat quietly on the ancient tree had already vanished into nothingness during the sacrifice process. Naturally, the ancient tree itself could not withstand a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realms.
roar!
Just then, a sharp shriek suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
The sky suddenly darkened, and then a black shadow a hundred meters long descended from the sky, hovering above the ancient tree, its dark and violent eyes staring fiercely at the four people.
This is a fierce bird covered in dark blue feathers, shaped like an eagle, but with a huge body and an imposing presence.
All four of them showed a slight change in expression.
This is actually a monster of the Mountain and Sea level.
The appearance of the ferocious beast was just the beginning. The earth trembled, the sky shook, and countless beasts, accompanied by billowing dust, surged in from all directions.
Things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, and things that come rolling in with the flow of water...
They vary in size, appearance, and aura, but their numbers are extremely large, numbering in the tens of thousands.
In the blink of an eye, the countless demonic beasts surrounded the four of them.
"Have all the monsters in this world gathered here?"
Iron Hammer gasped, "What are they trying to do?"
"If we wipe out their 'family,' we're essentially destroying the very foundation of their existence. What do you think they'll do then?"
Number 56 wasn't too surprised, but he frowned.
Iron Hammer knew he had asked a foolish question. He had already sensed hostility from these monsters when they arrived.
After the Spirit Witch Clan was nearly wiped out, these demonic beasts naturally couldn't just sit idly by and wait for their doom.
"Four beings at the Mountain and Sea level, the strongest comparable to the fifth level of the Mountain and Sea realm... There are over six hundred demonic beasts at the high martial artist level..."
Venus glanced around briefly, her expression turning serious.
Before sinking, his heart sank.
If it were the four of them who arrived, these monsters would naturally be nothing.
Of the four, only Venus still had some fighting strength left, while Iron Hammer was already severely injured and at his last gasp.
Needless to say, he and Number 56 were practically useless.
Even without considering the four mountain and sea monsters, just the sheer number of monsters at the high martial arts level could overwhelm them.
At this moment, Shen Qian felt a bit like he'd been screwed over.
He never expected that wiping out the "family" would be such a troublesome matter, with troubles coming one after another.
I heard that the "gate" that Tantai Qin destroyed single-handedly was a B-level gate, which shows how terrifying the opponent's strength was!
"The last leg of a journey is the hardest; it seems we are destined to fail today. I have dragged you all down with me..."
Number 56 sighed.
"Failure at the last moment?"
Venus was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "No, we will not fail. At most, we will perish together."
Shen Qian was taken aback at first, but quickly understood what Venus meant.
Perhaps they are destined to perish among the monsters today, but Venus could still manage to destroy the ancient tree even if she did everything in her power.
The "gate" will eventually be destroyed, but the price paid will be unacceptable to Shen Qian.
...He didn't want to die here.
But where is the way out?
Shen Qian frowned deeply. The last time he had encountered such a desperate situation was outside Jingcheng.
At that time, tens of thousands of White Walkers appeared in the snowstorm, including hundreds of beings at the Mountain and Sea level. Shen Qian thought he was going to die.
But then the giant serpent suddenly passed through the dimensional barrier, inadvertently saving Shen Qian's life.
Wait a minute...
Thinking of the giant serpent, Shen Qian suddenly recalled the scene he saw when he entered the "door" in a flash.
Those pupils were as large as planets.
"The Candle Dragon might be nearby!"
Shen Qian felt a jolt in his heart.
