"I knew my boss would never give up!" said Little White excitedly. "Boss, get on my back and take a rest. I'll deal with this for you."
"Sure," Xiang Shaoyun hopped onto Little White's back without any hesitation.
It had been years since they met, but the two were still as familiar with each other as ever. After all, they were brothers who had undergone many trials and tribulations together.
"Prince, how can you allow a lowly human to get on your back?" demanded a beast guardian unhappily.
"Yes, prince. Get that human to piss off. You're the supreme and paramount white tiger prince!" said a different demonic beast.
"Shut your mouth! Focus on killing those disgusting fellows. This is my boss, so he's your boss as well!" roared Little White furiously.
A powerful bloodline suppression erupted from him, silencing all the other demonic beasts.
The intense battle continued, and the aliens still held the absolute advantage. Blood Spirit was still in the midst of his evolution. Sheng Zhengyi, who had been able to remain alive, had just arrived below Blood Spirit with his Demon Revealing Mirror. His expression resolute, he said, "If an evil life form like you is allowed to finish your breakthrough, that will be a disaster for all humanity. I will not let you complete your advancement even if I have to die!"
Sheng Zhengyi behaved in a way worthy of his status as a representative from the Guardians Guild. He had a heart that cared for the world. He gathered all his strength into the Demon Revealing Mirror to the point where he even used a secret technique to forcefully elevate his strength to the God Realm temporarily. His entire consciousness was also focused on the mirror as he aimed the Demon Revealing Mirror at Blood Spirit.
"Melt away, evil life form!" Sheng Zhengyi squeezed the final bit of astral energy out of his body, allowing the Demon Revealing Mirror to erupt with incomparably pure power. The pure power latched onto Blood Spirit, attempting to erase him from existence.
This was a level of attack capable of slaying Gods. It was also Sheng Zhengyi's final trump card and the only thing he could do against the aliens right now.
But when the power of the mirror struck Blood Spirit, the power was actually consumed.
"Hehe, I no longer fear this annoying power. I can even assimilate it for myself now!"
A long tentacle shot toward Sheng Zhengyi and sent him flying despite his attempt at shielding himself with the Demon Revealing Mirror. He lost his grip on the mirror, allowing the mirror to be thrown from his hand. A second tentacle shot out and wound around Sheng Zhengyi's body before dragging him toward Blood Spirit. Evidently, the alien intended to devour Sheng Zhengyi as well.
"You fiend, release Zhengyi!" roared an expert from the Guardians Guild as he hurriedly rushed over.
The expert attacked with all his strength, but it was unfortunate that he couldn't even break through the bloody barrier formed by Blood Spirit. He could only watch as Sheng Zhengyi was dragged toward his doom.
"The Guardians Guild's mission is to protect all humanity in the dominion. I, Sheng Zhengyi, am willing to give my life for the cause!" declared Sheng Zhengyi as he detonated himself, intending to take Blood Spirit down with him.
His declaration hit everyone heavily; even someone as ruthless as Ximen Xue wasn't completely unaffected.
Boom!
Sheng Zhengyi died before everyone's eyes. His death was final, and he was beyond saving. Respect for him welled up in everyone's heart, including Xiang Shaoyun's.
Fighting for all of humanity? Looks like he is the same kind of person as my master, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
In his golden outfit, Jin Hiehao said with derision, "The Guardians Guild wishes to protect all humanity, while our Celestial Alliance wishes to rule over all Gods."
The miniature giant, Man Hu, also had a look of derision as he said, "His brain must be damaged."
Sheng Zhengyi's death had brought unprecedented valor to everyone, and they started fighting with all they had. Yu Caidie fused with her phoenix, bringing her to the pseudo-God Realm. She had lifted yet another seal on her strength from her previous life. She was tired of being a burden to the overlord.
"Overlord, I'll fight alongside you until the end," said Yu Caidie resolutely.
Devil Concubine was fighting furiously as well. With her recent improvement in the dao of time, she continued fighting stubbornly despite the injuries all over her body. "I will not lose to Yu Caidie!"
The competition between her and Yu Caidie was a competition between women. The scale might not be as grand as the competition between humanity and the aliens, but it was still not a competition one could take lightly. As for Lu Xiaoqing, her bonded flower started growing rapidly, giving her Pale Lotus Moon Physique access to more strength than before.
Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Tang Longfei, and the others were so badly injured that they barely had any combat strength remaining, but they did not retreat and continued fighting unyieldingly. Unfortunately, they could no longer do much with their heavy injuries. In fact, without the tentacled monster's protection, they would have died already.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingchen had finally managed to kill the jadeflesh demon after using all he had. His victory came at the cost of grievous injuries. He had no choice but to swallow all the god-grade spring water he had, healing himself as swiftly as possible so he could continue fighting.
"No man from the Great Han Dynasty is a coward!" declared Liu Qingchen resolutely.
Everyone was fighting bitterly, and they were willing to fight until the last drop of their blood. This was no longer a Heaven Battling Ranking Competition. Rather, it was the opening act of the war between humanity and aliens.
Blood Spirit had been able to survive Sheng Zhengyi's explosion. In fact, he had also finally completed his evolution, taking a human form. His human form took on Sheng Zhengyi's appearance, something nobody had expected to see.
"Haha, I've finally obtained a perfect body!" Blood Spirit howled with laughter in excitement.
"You fiend, I'll kill you!" The Guardians Guild's pseudo-God charged Blood Spirit fearlessly. With a swing of his sword, a long sword ray tore through the air as it flew toward Blood Spirit.
Blood Spirit did not even bother to dodge. He allowed the sword strike to hit him.
Clank!
The sword ray failed to leave even a tiny bit of a wound on his body. The only thing it did was create some sparks when it struck.
"An attack this weak isn't even enough to scratch my itch," said Blood Spirit with a lazy stretch. He then grabbed at the pseudo-God.
A hand grew out and instantly reached the pseudo-God and wrapped around the pseudo-God's neck, as though Blood Spirit's palm was emitting some sort of attractive force. Then, his palm erupted with a suction force and sucked the pseudo-God dry of blood and flesh before the pseudo-God could react. Only a drifting human skin was left, which slowly fell onto the ground.
"Too weak. Hahaha!" Blood Spirit laughed in excitement. He then looked at Xiang Shaoyun, who was resting atop Little White, and said, "Dearest delicacy that holds the most of my interest, I wonder how you're going to escape me now."
