Chapter 1742: Embracing Death

Xiao Lingzhu and Ling Xuan's expressions turned ugly. The three Devil Kings of Sin had easily overcome the seal and even ripped a gap in the formation. They had then summoned Other Kings into the frey.

"Stop them!" Ling Xuan shouted. The soldiers who were guarding the area immediately moved to intercept those creatures. A chaotic battle immediately unfolded.

Even so, Ling Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu did not dare to split their attention. They knew that the Other Kings were precisely there to distract them. If they lost focus, the three Devil Kings of Sin would directly break through to the core of the Ten Continents Universe Rampart.

"Hold on!" Ling Xuan roared. Her face turned red as the three crowns above her began to emit dazzling rays of light. This was a sign that the light source origin within her body was being pushed to its limit.

The rest of the combatants did the same as well—no one dared to relax. They had already used all of their strength, but the opponents had resisted their sealing and brought more Other Kings to attack them.

The situation was truly deteriorating. However, Ling Xuan knew that they were doing their best. The Principal of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Could they really hold back three Devil Kings of Sin? Her gaze wavered briefly, but she swiftly clenched her teeth and composed herself before commanding in a deep voice, "We must stop the expansion of that formation!"

When the experts present heard her command, their gaze turned a little bewildered. They naturally knew that the situation would take a turn for the worse if they didn't stop it. However, considering the fact that the other Triple Crowned Kings were already powerless to do so, what could they ever hope to do?

All of a sudden, a loud shout akin to a thunderclap sounded out."I'm here!"

Everyone turned towards the person who had spoken. It was an elderly man with a head full of white hair and a resolute expression. A single crown was floating above his head like a dazzling sun, flowing with pure source origin. A Single Crowned King? What could a Single Crowned King do in such a situation?

"Wu Chen, what are you doing?!"

"Grandpa!"

Two distinct shouts rang out. If Li Luo were present, he would have recognized who had spoken. One was the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's Vice Principal Wu Yu, and the other was the leader of the Heavenly Star Hall, Wu Changkong. They had encountered each other in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College very briefly, and there was a sizable grudge between them.

"Haha, Big Brother, Changkong, there's no need to stop me. My potential has long been spent and I'm merely a walking corpse," said the elderly man, Wu Chen, before he let out a hearty laugh.

Everyone instantly knew what he was planning to do. His crown began to burn, and a source origin flame arose in its center. In an instant, the source origin fluctuations Wu Chen emitted became several times more powerful.

"I, Wu Chen of the Wu family... will go to my death today!" Before everyone's shocked eyes, Wu Chen flew towards the three Devil Kings of Sin like a shooting star, releasing terrifying source origin fluctuations.

Weng!

When his crown exploded, a frightening source origin storm swept towards the three Devil Kings of Sin. The sudden assault forced them to halt, as they were taken aback. At the same time, the formation that served as a gateway for the regular Other Kings was partially destroyed and stopped expanding.

The Devil Kings of Sin were frozen for only a moment before rage filled their eyes. It was inconceivable that a piddly Single Crowned King could actually shake them. The Fear Devil King of Sin roared, "Ant!"

In their fury, corruption source origin undulations burst out of their bodies, restoring the formation to its original state.

On the fortress walls, the atmosphere was heavy among the soldiers of the divine continents. Gradually, they stepped up one at a time, and countless crowns began to burn. Everyone present watched as those crowns were set ablaze. It was the final light of those giving up their lives.

As the crowns burned, passionate roars echoed like thunder through the sky, their voices heard millions of miles away throughout the Heavenly Star Plains. Everyone who heard them trembled at the resolution within their voices. It was as if they had been struck by lightning, stirring up waves within the depths of their hearts.

"I, Mo Li of the Mo family from Wetsource, will go to my death today!"

"I, Zhou Ye of the Mythical Spirit Ancient College, will go to my death today!"

At the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's formation, the Lineage Chiefs watched everything unfold with deep shock. Li Qingying's expression changed when one of her peers stepped forward. It was the Dragon's Horn Lineage's Lineage Chief, Li Jinjiao!

"What are you doing Li Jinjiao?" Li Qingying asked, her voice quivering.

Li Jinjiao casually smiled as he responded, "Many others have gone, so how can the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li be left behind? Everyone, I am the least talented out of all of us, so let me bring honor to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li."

After he spoke, he rushed into the sky, his crown blazing as his resonant voice echoed in the fields around. "I, Li Jinjiao of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, will go to my death today!"

With every roar, another King ignited their crown, transforming into a mass of flames that pounced towards the three Devil Kings of Sin. They were like moths knowingly rushing into a flame, yet they charged forward with utmost determination. Everyone who bore witness to this scene felt like their heart was about to burst out of their chest.

Bang, bang, bang!

Terrifying source origin fluctuations filled the air. When the source origin flames dissipated, the formation behind the three Devil Kings of Sin was torn to pieces and on the verge of collapse. Not only that, the sacrificial attacks had also dealt some damage to the peak Devil Kings.

Ling Xuan, Xiao Lingzhu, and the others watched this scene with aggrieved expressions. Li Tianji's reddened eyes were filled with sadness, as the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had lost a Lineage Chief. They had never thought that they would ever have to employ such tactics to stop their enemies.

More importantly, although the guiding formation had been destroyed and the Other Kings were unable to flood in, the three main opponents were still largely unaffected. Their absolute strength left everyone in despair. If they were allowed to buy time, the Other Kings would be able to catch up and the forces of the divine continents wouldn't be able to protect the portal.

"Go to your mother instead!" Yu Lang cursed as his eyes turned red. He had watched a King he recognized from the East Divine Continent's Xia Alliance self-immolate and explode in a glorious blaze. He was unable to contain his grief and indignation any longer as he gripped his blade, planning to rush forward. At the same time, his crown began to show signs of igniting.

It was at this moment that a small hand stretched out and grabbed the hem of his robes. When he turned his head, he saw Bai Mengmeng's pale and pure face, and he shouted furiously, "Let go!"

"Don't let my older sister become a widow!" Bai Mengmeng took a deep breath as she suppressed the fear in her heart. She then quivered as she continued, "If you go, I'll go as well." After which, she courageously walked forward, past Yu Lang and towards the front of the fortress.

At this moment, Lu Qing'er, who was not far away, also took in a deep breath of frigid air. Her icy eyes rippled slightly as she softly said, "Uncle Ancestor Taiyi, I'm ready. What about you?"
