The deities threw away their dignity to undo the seals and attack, and Luo Yu could hardly resist.
He was engulfed in the storm of the gods' attacks.
His flesh and blood collapsed, leaving only bones radiating golden light, persevering in the tempest.
Even as his flesh and blood were ground away to nothingness, he still refused to give up.
The upright white spine appeared before the people of the world.
The citizens of Great Xia wept.
"Godchild!!"
More than their lives, which would soon be extinguished by the slaughter of the deities, they were now more heartbroken over Luo Yu's plight; he was fighting for them, the commoners in the rearguard!
"Deities shameless!!!"
"So it turns out that all deities are just incapable curs, not only bullying with power but also ganging up on Godchild Luo Yu!!"
"Damn it!!"
Numerous young men from Great Xia were filled with righteous indignation, and even the elderly clenched their walking sticks tightly.
"No!"
In the conference room, Luo Tiance couldn't hold back any longer; his whole body trembled, and his once cold lips quivered, even fearing to look at the broadcasted image.
"Clang!"
The State-Defending Divine Sword resonated.
"No!"
"Even in death, I want to die with my grandson."
Luo Tiance's eyes urgent, snatched up the State-Defending Divine Sword, broke through the rooftop, and flew towards Takamanohara.
The other powerhouses of Great Xia exchanged looks, seeing the shame and reluctance in each other's eyes.
Zhu Wushi could not hold back either: "Damn it, we, who have louder titles and hold more power than anyone, now that a crisis has befallen Great Xia, some young man has to bear the brunt."
"If I'm to die, at least I won't die frustrated at my doorstep."
"Boom!"
Zhu Wushi tore through the sky and quickly followed Luo Tiance.
Shi Kai clenched his fists, his eyes full of rage: "Today, even in death, I want to die before Brother Luo Yu, to let him know he's not fighting alone."
Liu Shengji said, "Continuing to linger here, I, an old man, can't afford to lose that honor, let's go!"
"Boom, boom, boom."
One figure after another stood up, exploding with the utmost strength of their bodies, even resorting to some secret techniques, flying towards where Luo Yu was suffering.
As the powerful beings above Transcendence from Great Xia rushed to Takamanohara one after another, those dazzling streaks of light were also seen by other warriors of Great Xia.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
"We will also advance and retreat with the Godchild!!"
"Great Xia has no cowards."
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Throughout the country, from various places, figures took to the sky in succession, silently looking at each other and racing towards Takamanohara with the utmost speed.
On this day, all warriors of Great Xia, above Third Grade, set out in unison.
Flying through the sky towards Takamanopara.
They were , of course, aware of what they would face on this journey, and even more aware that, despite heading to Takamanopara, their meager cultivation would be insignificant.
But they wanted to go nonetheless.
This feeling of sitting at home, watching Luo Yu fight alone, was such an unbearable torment to their hearts that they couldn't stand it.
Even dying by Luo Yu's side would make them feel somewhat better.
"Godchild! We are coming!!!"
"Even in death, we, the ones you protect, want to die before you!"
The warriors of Great Xia unanimously agreed on the conviction in their hearts.
With resolute eyes and no fear of life or death.
On this day, countless warriors had breakthroughs on their way to Takamanohara.
Warriors battle ferocious beasts, fight foreign enemies, and cultivate not just spiritual power and life force, but the pride in their hearts.
Yet over countless years of cultivation, the stronger they became, the more they feared death, living more cautiously, learning to revere the mighty, to revere heaven and earth.
But today, witnessing Luo Yu boldly declaring war on the deities and laughing in utter scorn, something within the hearts of all the martial artists in Great Xia seemed to awaken.
Their blood boiled with unbearable heat, their feelings hard to calm.
Rushing to Takamanopara in unison, even though the outcome could not be changed, even though they couldn't save Godchild Luo Yu, they still wanted to go, felt compelled to go.
"The body may die, the soul may perish, but the spirit of the people of Great Xia, battling heavens and earth, exists forever!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The collective rays of light streaking from the Grand Xia Warriors toward Takamanopara seemed to dim the sun hanging high in the sky, as countless mortals from Great Xia looked up, tears already streaming down their cheeks, bowing their heads to send them off as they went to face their death.
Above Takamanopara, the breath of destruction radiating from Heavenly Punishment grew denser, reaching a certain apex.
Lesser deities had begun to issue cries for help:
"No good, can't hold on any longer, quickly kill this kid!!!"
The Chaos Angel and other powerful deities like the Progenitor Cain, despite their bodies bearing wounds, spoke coldly: "Do not panic, this child is already at his limit."
The gods took action once more, with divine light shining gloriously.
The entire sky above Takamanopara, like the explosion of stars in the universe, turned into myriad colors in an instant, as a terrifying energy storm swept across eight thousand miles of heaven and showed no sign of abating.
Every martial artist from top to bottom was annihilated.
The deities were cold and merciless, utterly indifferent whether there were innocent vulnerable, sickly, elderly, children, or women here, casually slaughtering them all thoroughly.
"Shameless deities, I, Luo Yu, may die today, but the spirit of Our Great Xia lives on forever!!!"
Resounding roars emerged from within the storm.
"Boom!!"
Luo Yu's terrifying body, impenetrable to mortals, cracked under the combined might of the gods, flesh already vanished, now even his bones crumbled to pieces.
In the end, his Divine Spirit too was shattered.
When the energy storm in the sky dissipated, only a lonely floating Shi Lian remained, suspended in the void above.
"No!!!!"
"God's Child!!!"
It hit the hearts of everyone in Great Xia like a heavy blow; countless people tasted the metallic tang of blood in their throats, their shouts filled with alarm and anger, their hearts tearing apart from pain.
"Godchild Luo Yu is dead?"
"The gods are despicable!!!"
That day, Great Xia shared in the grief.
The people around the world should have been dancing with joy, for a thorn in their side had died.
But at this moment, they strangely found no happiness.
A fair-haired, blue-eyed foreign man spoke, "He is the hero of his people, a man who fought for his nation until the last drop of blood, not deserving of our ridicule."
People from other forces let out sighs, their expressions grave:
"He was a respectable man."
"No, he was not just the God's Child of the Great Xia people, but the backbone of mortals."
"Hahaha."
"This guy finally died."
"Is this Shi Lian the secret treasure left behind by the Deities of Great Xia?"
Seeing Luo Yu's tragic death, a plethora of deities revealed excited and relieved smiles.
"Crack, crack!!!"
Heavenly Punishment rolled down, which they gladly accepted.
They promptly suppressed their Cultivation Levels, confining them within the realm of the World Realm.
And the purple-black Brontosaurus transformed into chains of Heavenly Punishment, winding around the bodies of the deities like the Chaos Angel, reinforcing the suppression of their powers.
The deities did not dare resist; their previous actions were already against the heavens, and if they rebelled now, they risked provoking retribution from the Heavenly Dao, possibly even death.
The Golden War God, his body covered in charred marks from lightning, pressed his palms together.
"Amitabha Buddha."
"Such a defiant mortal Benefactor, in the end, met with the consequences of his own actions."
War God Ares looked at the Shi Lian with a continuous cold laugh: "Dare to enrage the deities, then be prepared to pay the price."
Just when the gods were about to fight over Luo Yu's legacy.
Two graceful figures suddenly flew across the distant sky...
