Luo Hao stood quietly in the void, looking at Luo Qingyu, whose eyes were glistening with tears. He wore a gentle smile, appearing refined and graceful.
Li Qiansun gritted his teeth and glared at Luo Hao, cursing angrily, "Truly shaless!"
"Who exactly is the demon, don't you have any sense of it in your heart?"
"When His Majesty battled the Buddha Killer to death earlier, you hid in the shadows like a coward, and now that a formidable enemy has been subdued, you, this demon, show up to stir trouble. Is there anyone in this world more shaless than you!"
In the face of Li Qiansun's anger and cursing, Luo Hao just smiled indifferently, as if he didn't mind at all.
"Elder Li, you are mistaken. If it weren't for my one Green Lotus Petal, Tian'er wouldn't have been able to turn defeat into victory."
"So, as for the rits of this battle, it should be credited to primarily."
Hearing this, Li Qiansun suddenly felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
"Bah!"
"Credit to you? Do you still want your face at all!"
Luo Hao looked into his eyes and suddenly transmitted a Divine Sense ssage.
Upon receiving that Divine Sense ssage, Li Qiansun's gaze suddenly shook. He looked up angrily at Luo Hao, his lips trembling as he wanted to curse him.
But for so reason, he ultimately swallowed those words back down.
Luo Hao suddenly burst out laughing, spreading his arms wide, assuming a posture of a king above all.
"The so-called 'winners are kings, losers are villains,' before I sit on the throne of success, any filthiness and taint are not worth ntioning!"
"One day, all of you, and all lives in the Three Thousand Worlds, will regard as a god, bow to , and implore for my protection!"
Li Qiansun looked at Luo Hao, his fists tightly clenched, yet he dared not speak.
Luo Hao glanced at the lifeless Luo Xiu and sighed softly.
"Although I wanted to fight him upright and defeat him once, seeing his previous performance... even a strongman as outstanding among the Heavenly Emperors as the Buddha Killer fell to his hand, so I think there's no need."
He smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "To be frank, I wasn't confident in winning against him. And now, there's just an opportunity, so I could only send him to his death."
"In a certain sense, killing him, taking everything from him, and living longer than him could be considered as defeating him."
"Moreover... he used the Secret Technique of Wushang Realm to burn his life, predestined to die, I just gave him a quick end, alleviating his suffering, he should be thankful to ."
At this mont, the Holy Grandmother slowly stood up, gazing at Luo Hao with calm eyes, and said, "Indeed, you are the kind of person who wouldn't make a move unless you are absolutely sure."
Luo Hao smiled slightly, "Grandmother, you flatter ."
The Holy Grandmother asked, "Do you want the Heart of the Sacred Tree?"
Luo Hao looked at Luo Qingyu, smiling faintly, "Sir Knight Commander, I have two choices here."
"Either offer up the Heart of the Sacred Tree in your hands."
"Or, obediently co back with and willingly beco my Furnace Tripod. Your Holy Blood Yin Yuan is a bit inferior to the Heart of the Sacred Tree, but it has the advantage of being used for a long ti."
He paused, then added, "You should still be… a virgin, right?"
Luo Qingyu watched him expressionlessly, wiped her tears with her hand, and said, "There is another choice."
"Oh?"
Luo Qingyu: "Leave your life here!"
Luo Hao shrugged, feeling the piercing killing intent of Luo Qingyu, "Do you want to fight? To be honest, I have longed to learn the Hundred Battle Holy Technique of the Sky Mastiff Knight Commander."
Luo Qingyu threw the Heart of the Sacred Tree to Luo Qingxian, "Xian'er, take care of His Majesty!"
"Luo Hao, leave it to to slay!"
As the words fell, she transford into a swift shadow and flew towards Luo Hao.
Luo Hao remained calm and confident, transford into a green light, and flew towards the sky.
...
...
In the ruins of the shattered earth.
Luo Qingxian knelt beside Luo Xiu, her eyes blurred with tears.
In the distant sky, the thunderous sound roared, spirit lights flickered as if the starry sky was exploding.
That was Luo Qingyu engaged in a life-and-death battle with Luo Hao!
The Holy Grandmother looked at Luo Qingxian and sighed softly, speaking weakly, "Xian'er, there is no ti. Give the Heart of the Sacred Tree."
Luo Qingxian, tears all over her face, her delicate body trembling, "Grandmother...I'm sorry, truly sorry."
The Holy Grandmother gently shook her head, looking at her with a doting gaze, and said softly, "This old body's lifespan is already near its end. Even if I am in this world, I lack the strength to guard the Sacred Tree. Otherwise, the Buddha Killer would not have easily descended to the Lower Realm this ti."
"Moreover, even without the Heart of the Sacred Tree, this old body can still live for a few more years."
She paused, then added, "Your Majesty is the hope of all lives in the Three Thousand Worlds. To exchange this old body's life for the well-being of Your Majesty, it's well worth it."
Luo Qingxian took a deep breath, seemingly making a decision, and handed the Heart of the Sacred Tree to the Holy Grandmother.
The Holy Grandmother was about to reach out to accept it, but unexpectedly a hand reached out before her, snatching away the Heart of the Sacred Tree.
Without the slightest defense, Luo Qingxian and the Holy Grandmother had no ti to react.
And by the ti they did react, that Heart of the Sacred Tree had already fallen into the hands of another.
Luo Qingxian's beautiful eyes turned grave as she looked up at Li Qiansun and asked, "Elder Li, what do you an by this?"
Li Qiansun's face turned a deep red, his frail body trembling, eyes brimming with guilt, he suddenly steeled his heart and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Luo Qingxian shouted in anger, rising to pursue him.
Li Qiansun gritted his teeth, "Holy Maiden, and Grandmother... I'm truly sorry, I had no other choice!"
"I told you to stop right there!"
Luo Qingxian chased after him, raising her sword for a killing blow!
Being able to sacrifice the Holy Grandmother who watched her grow from a young age to save Luo Xiu, she was already heartbroken beyond asure.
And at this mont, with the sudden turn of events, as the Heart of the Sacred Tree was snatched away, she felt as if she would collapse.
Li Qiansun turned back with a sword, blocking the Sword Light slashed out by Luo Qingxian.
"Holy Maiden, I'm sorry!"
Luo Qingxian, her face full of tears, "Elder Li, I beg you... please give it back to ."
Li Qiansun's eyes were filled with tears, starting to hesitate.
Suddenly, a strange sound ca from behind him.
A green Light Array appeared out of thin air, only to see Gu Jianxi, Luo Yunnie, and i Nu walk out from within it.
A group of Shadow Tower assassins slipped in one after another, swiftly surrounding Li Qiansun.
Upon seeing the already lifeless Luo Xiu, both Luo Yunnie and Gu Jianxi showed complex expressions.
i Nu chuckled, saying, "Elder Li, you go on ahead, this old slave will cover the rear!"
Seeing Li Qiansun enter that green Light Array, Luo Qingxian raised her sword to pursue.
"Xian'er, forget it."
Just then, the Holy Grandmother suddenly spoke, at the sa ti a Wood Vine mysteriously sprouted, coiling around Luo Qingxian's slender waist, pulling her back to the original spot.
"Grandmother!"
Luo Qingxian looked at the Holy Grandmother in utter confusion.
The Holy Grandmother gently shook her head, speaking weakly, "Things have co to this, it might be fate. You cannot afford to be in any more trouble."
Tears welled up in Luo Qingxian's eyes, she looked up at Luo Yunnie and Gu Jianxi, her voice trembling, "Could it be, in your eyes... you have never had this son?"
Luo Yunnie remained silent.
Gu Jianxi smiled faintly, "We severed ties with him long ago, no relation at all remains. Your Highness the Holy Maiden, it's better to face reality sooner, this person has perished here, now only Emperor Hao embodies hope for the Three Thousand Worlds."
"No matter how glorious this person was in life, in death, he is nothing more than a heap of useless trash."
"How can such Divine Objects like the Heart of the Sacred Tree be wasted on trash?"
i Nu cupped his fists with a smile, "Since Your Highness the Holy Maiden doesn't pursue, this old slave shall take leave first. Prince, Princess, we should head back."
"..."
Luo Qingxian watched Gu Jianxi's group leave, her fists clenched tight within her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She was angry, yet also powerless.
"One day, I will tear you all apart into a million pieces!"
The Holy Grandmother weakly knelt and sat on the ground, placing her hand on Luo Xiu's chest. Her aging body withered at a visible speed, her life force diminishing with every passing mont.
Yet her gaze remained forever kind and gentle.
"Xian'er, once I pass away, the Sacred Tree will also wither. Once the Sacred Tree withers, the narrow Star Sky Corridor will appear… at that ti, you need to use His Majesty's 'Jinghong Artifact' to cut it off, preventing Celestial Realm beings from causing disaster in the Lower Realm."
Luo Qingxian abruptly looked at the Holy Grandmother, her voice trembling, "Grandmother, what are you doing?"
The Holy Grandmother slowly closed her eyes, "His Majesty's Dao Body is about to perish… I use my last Life Blood to buy him ti."
"..."
