486: Chapter 484 Invincible Loneliness

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Bolts of heavenly lightning crashed down.

The hundreds upon hundreds of monsters piled onto the giant's body wailed and shrieked incessantly, exploding into mists of blood that filled the air, yet he continued to roar without end, staring fixedly at Yan Guofa as if he had lost his mind and descended into madness.

"Still not dead..." Yan Guofa glanced at the approaching monster giant, a complex expression crossing his face.

He looked at Lin Jie, whose gaze was dull and vacant, once more, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Yan Guofa, give it back to me..."

Dense bolts of heavenly lightning fell in succession; amidst the swirling blood mist, the giant crashed to the ground, only to climb back up immediately after.

Witnessing this scene, the Transcendents resolving Specter incidents across the capital could not help but show looks of horror.

People across the country watching this scene via live broadcast streams felt an inexplicable sense of terror, feeling as if the sky were collapsing.

"How could such a monster exist?"

"A monster this big, who could possibly deal with it?!"

"This world is done for, we're all done for..."

"Heavens! Strike him down! Strike this monster dead!"

Countless people clenched their fists and shouted.

"Chaos has actually emerged?"

White Tiger tilted his head to look at the monster giant, his eyes filled with excitement: "This time, even if Yang Yu himself arrives, you won't be able to reverse your defeat! You're all going to die!"

"If anyone is going to die, it will be you first." Chu Xuan's body trembled; dragging himself along, he had already reached a position a dozen meters in front of White Tiger.

"To think you can still move after walking this far; then you might as well walk a little faster!"

White Tiger smiled grimly, a crystal longsword already forming in his hand as he staggered forward to meet him: "Faster, faster! Let me kill you; don't let Black Tortoise snatch the kill!"

In the southeast direction, Black Tortoise was about to break free.

To the west, the monster giant was closing in.

A thought emerged from Chu Xuan's mind without any warning—

"As long as I temporarily abandon the resistance of my consciousness and surrender control of my body, everything right now can be easily resolved."

Chu Xuan instantly snuffed out this thought.

"As long as I kill White Tiger and obtain enough spirituality value, I can convert it all into attribute points to increase my stamina attribute, and thereby gain health points! Once my current health points reach 50% of my base health points, I can meet the trigger condition for [Unyielding]..."

As these thoughts flashed through Chu Xuan's mind, he had already arrived five meters in front of White Tiger.

"Finally out!"

Black Tortoise struggled and leaped out of the rift, bringing with him bursts of black mist, within which sounds of strange laughter could be heard.

"Don't move, White Tiger! The Purifier is mine to kill!" Black Tortoise rode the cold wind, laughing loudly as he approached, holding a long spear pulled back to his ear, ready to throw it at any moment.

"The Purifier? I have sensed the divine directive to kill..." The monster giant, whose attention had originally been entirely on Yan Guofa, suddenly looked up, abruptly opening his mouth wide as he gathered a soul-stirring blood-red light.

"Damn it, hurry up and come here to die, it's going to be too late!" White Tiger gritted his teeth and roared.

"It's going to be too late..." Chu Xuan caught a glimpse of Black Tortoise and the monster giant out of the corner of his eye, his mind cold and sinking; even if he achieved Assimilation with White Tiger right now, it would just be a temporarily crippled body.

Only by killing White Tiger would there be a glimmer of hope.

"Perhaps I can temporarily surrender control of my body; once White Tiger is slain and the strange consciousness takes over, I might be able to achieve Assimilation more easily."

When this thought arose, Chu Xuan understood that this might be the strange consciousness within him acting up and leading him on.

But Chu Xuan no longer cared.

Rather than being killed by a World Traitor, it was better to surrender his body and fight for one last glimmer of hope!

Even if his own consciousness was ultimately extinguished and replaced, it would just mean he was outplayed, and he would accept it!

Regardless of whether that strange consciousness was a former Purifier or [Future Tang Zheng], the fact that he had been able to resolve the Phantom Demon and live until today was already worth it.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Xuan already felt as if his brain had been filled with something; with just a shift of his consciousness, he could surrender control of his body.

But just at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, rolling and echoing like muffled thunder: "Who dares to touch my brother?!?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Chu Xuan's entire body jolted, and he whipped his head around to look.

He saw a glowing figure, who had appeared out of thin air in the sky at some unknown moment, raise a hand and catch the ice spear that had been cutting through the sky.

Turning in mid-air, the figure swung his arm abruptly.

The spear returned along its original path, instantly piercing through Black Tortoise.

Almost at the same instant, the monster giant's mouth suddenly spewed out a crimson ball of light.

"Get lost!"

The glowing figure suddenly raised a hand and slapped the crimson light ball away, sending it flying straight toward the sky above a lake more than ten kilometers away.

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded.

A massive crimson explosion suddenly appeared above the lake, the violent energy shockwave pressing a deep depression into the lake surface below.

Between heaven and earth, there was a brief moment of silence.

Everyone present fixed their gaze on that glowing figure.

Who was this person?

Looking closely now, they discovered that the person was carrying a glowing speaker on his shoulder.

A long, rhythmic sound echoed through the silence, drifting in all directions: "Invincible is... how, how lonely..."
