Chapter 1895: Despair Descends

“No…”

“Even if I have picked up this sword, so what? You are Bai Qi, the famous Lord Wu’an… What I can do, you can definitely do too.”

Jian Changsheng instinctively retorted.

“The slaughter of the military strategist in the world has never been won by one person. The way of using soldiers lies in using people, in arranging formations,” Bai Qi’s voice rang out in the storm.

“In terms of soul strength, you are not as good as me; in terms of familiarity with this sword, I am not as good as you.”

“Since that’s the case, me opening the path and you wielding the sword is the way to victory.”

“Besides…”

Bai Qi paused for a moment, his gaze looking at the rapidly approaching Red Star.

“I was reborn against the heavens to begin with. Even if I escape this calamity, I won’t have a good end in the future… It’s better to end it at this moment.”

Bai Qi was the God of Slaughter after all, reborn twice, his soul was much more solid than Jian Changsheng’s. He stood on the blade, the whistling storm burning and consuming his soul bit by bit, yet he still stood tall.

The body changed owners, and the murderous aura that had been holding this sword of slaughter dissipated for an instant. Fortunately, Jian Changsheng reacted extremely quickly, using murderous aura to wrap it again immediately, using all his strength to push this giant sword to continue striking toward the Red Star!

Jian Changsheng looked at the general’s back standing tall, his heart filled with mixed feelings…

“Master…”

“No need to say more.” Bai Qi looked back at him.

“Jian Changsheng, don’t embarrass our Soldier God Path.”

Bai Qi’s soul was like an airtight shield, blocking the sky above Jian Changsheng. As the Red Star’s power washed over it, it became riddled with holes within just a few seconds, burning away bit by bit…

With this, the pioneers of humanity’s Soldier Path had all fallen, and the heavy burden of destroying the Red Star finally fell on the young man’s shoulders.

The storm swept through.

The Red Star was only a few hundred meters away from the sword of slaughter.

Having lost Bai Qi’s obstruction, the Red Star storm crashed frantically into Jian Changsheng, but he had no time to feel the pain… His eyes were bloodshot, and a roar resounded through the sky!

“Go to hell—!!!!”

Jian Changsheng’s life and murderous aura burned frantically, and the human sword of slaughter that stood between heaven and earth instantly erupted with endless murderous intent.

At this moment, the Ancient Soldier Path Treasury seemed to feel the extreme threat from the Red Star. The thousands of years of war and slaughter deposited within it all turned into the purest and sharpest murderous aura flames, and under Jian Changsheng’s roar, it crashed head-on into the speeding Red Star wreckage!

Standing on the earth, all living beings only saw a black crescent moon covering the sky, burning as it slashed toward the scorching, massive Red Star. The entire sky seemed to dim.

The next moment,

Giant waves of black and red swept across the horizon.

The blinding radiance once again made everyone close their eyes, and immediately after, a deafening roar accompanied the aftermath of the giant waves!

Boom——————！！！！！

The embers of the black murderous aura dissipated sporadically.

Fragments of the red meteor shattered in the firmament and flew in all directions.

The giant sword that stood between heaven and earth, carrying the slaughter of human civilization, was now covered in cracks… Having lost the support of murderous aura, its massive body was like a black meteorite, falling silently toward the earth.

High above, a blood-colored body with shattered armor also fell in the gale along with the giant sword.

Jian Changsheng’s blurred, bloody eyes looked at the Red Star wreckage that had been completely slashed into debris, and a faint smile curled on his pale face…

He succeeded.

This sword of slaughter, relayed from the Ancient Soldier Path Treasury, had finally intercepted the Red Star at the correct position and completely destroyed it with one strike.

He hadn’t failed the sacrifices of those Soldier Path demigods, nor had he failed Bai Qi’s expectations of him…

Humanity had finally destroyed the Red Star!!

At this moment, not just Jian Changsheng, but everyone on the ground who saw the Red Star shatter in the sky was stunned for a moment… then, an unprecedented frenzy of joy emerged!

“Hey…”

“Did you see that?”

“Did we… succeed?”

“The Red Star was slashed to pieces!!”

“It really disappeared!! We survived! Hahaha!!!”

“What was that explosion in space just now? Who did it? So amazing…”

“And that giant sword that shot into the sky, it even slashed the Red Star, so cool!!”

“The calamity is dead, the Red Star is destroyed, can we live in peace now?”

“……”

Whether it was the citizens, the God Path practitioners, or even the Dukes sitting in the major realms, they all let out a long sigh of relief, their tightly wound hearts finally relaxing.

But in the Chengtian Palace,

The imperial figure who had been watching the sky all along furrowed his brows instead.

His pupils seemed to possess the ability to see through everything. Even from thousands of miles away, he could clearly see the dust dancing among the shattered Red Star fragments…

Strands of eerie, faint light were flashing silently on the densely splashing Red Star fragments at the same frequency.

As if,

Some kind of creature was breathing.

“That is…” A look of astonishment appeared in Ying Fu’s pupils.

Hum—hum—hum…

If someone could stand among the fragments, they would be able to hear bursts of resonance ringing from the scattered Red Star fragments. These core parts of the Red Star seemed to have turned into some kind of energy body emitting the same wavelength, and the falling fragments suddenly hovered in the air!

Then…

They reorganized toward the center at an astonishing speed!

When the red star fragments filling the sky turned into countless rays of light converging together, re-outlining the silhouette of a red star, the cheers of the world came to an abrupt halt!

All the Red Star fragments slashed down by the Star-Breaking Defense Line and the sword of slaughter returned and merged together at this moment. 30% of the Red Star hovered in the air. At the same time, earth veins resembling blood vessels sprawled across the surface of the Red Star, and energy flashed frantically at the same frequency!

Thump—thump—thump…

The original energy resonance had now mixed together, like a dull drumbeat, like…

A mysterious heartbeat from beyond the heavens.

“How could this be…”

Falling in the gale, Jian Changsheng saw in his blur that the Red Star he had worked so hard to destroy had reorganized in such an eerie way, and his whole body couldn’t stop trembling!

The last bit of strength in his body had been squeezed dry, and his armor had shattered into slag. He stared blankly at the Red Star that had returned to the world, as if he were in a terrifying nightmare.

Boom—!

The cracked sword of slaughter fell into the Frozen Sea.

Monstrous waves rolled on the surface of the sea. Jian Changsheng’s face was contorted, like a violent beast toyed with by fate, letting out a heart-wrenching roar at the Red Star!!

Then, he fell powerlessly into the spray of the Frozen Sea.

The Seven Monarchs had long since burned out, the Soldier Path demigods had all dissipated, and the sword of slaughter had fallen to the human world… The moment the Red Star’s radiance reappeared in the world, the shadow of despair, like surging dark clouds, shrouded everyone’s hearts.
