Long River Eternity

Everyone who witnessed this scene had a look of despair on their faces.

Even Sun Tingfeng, who was always calm and decisive, was completely at a loss at this moment.

He was stunned for a moment, then a flicker of determination flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone, "Once this monster explodes, the area within a radius of ten kilometers will be reduced to ruins, and the horrific aftermath will sweep across half of Zhongzhou City.

This is all my fault. I will stay and do everything I can to minimize the losses. You guys should leave now, there's still time! Go!"

Upon hearing this, Vice Captain Yao Tianming's gaze was as firm as steel as he responded loudly, "No! This is absolutely not your fault, Captain. Why should you bear all this alone? I will never leave. Even if I die, I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you until the very end!"

"That's right!" The others responded in unison and loudly, "How could we desert in this critical moment? We will stand with the captain!"

At this time, Yuan Xin, the person in charge of the West District City Defense, also stood up.

Although he was only at the early stage of Tianji Realm, he chose to stay without hesitation. He looked at the team members behind him and asked loudly: "What is the motto of our city defense team?"

The team members behind him, with their eyes as sharp as torches, shouted in unison: "Defend the city and the land, and never give up an inch! Resist disasters and fight to the death!" The shouts were like rolling thunder, resounding between heaven and earth.

These thunderous slogans, like a spring breeze, quietly soothed the panic in the hearts of the people hiding in their houses. Even they were infected by this momentum.

"Zhongzhou City is our home, and we have the responsibility to protect it! We're all going to die anyway, so what's the point of hiding in the building like a coward? Although I'm only at the Yaoguang Realm and my strength is limited, there is strength in numbers, and I want to do my part!" A middle-aged man appeared on the roof of the building. Although his body was still shaking slightly, he shouted towards the sky with all his might.

Following his appearance, many people climbed to the roof of the building. Most of them were only at the Dongming or Yaoguang realms, but at this moment, inspired by the shouts of the city defense team, they made up their minds and decided to do their best to resist this disaster.

Originally, the white lion had begun to think of retreating. But seeing the humans before him so heroic and fearless, ready to die, he looked at Silver Flash, who was about to self-destruct, and smiled helplessly.

Then, it shouted loudly to the monsters behind it: "It's too late to leave now. Besides, how can we monsters be outmatched by humans? Every one left behind means a glimmer of hope. Brothers, let's fight!"

"Okay!" The monsters behind him responded in unison, without any fear on their faces.

"You..." Sun Tingfeng felt a surge of emotion as he watched the scene unfold. A surge of pride welled up within him. He said excitedly, "Great! It's truly my honor to be able to join you all in resisting the enemy today. I will fight this calamity, even at the cost of my life!"

At this moment, the ball of light in the night sky burst into a dazzling light, as bright as the sun.

Zhongzhou City, which should have been immersed in the night, was shrouded in this strong light, as if it were daytime.

The violent energy surged and poured out like a raging tide, and the surrounding buildings were shaking under the impact of this force.

Rubble kept falling off the walls of the building, hitting the ground with a dull sound; the entire building swayed from side to side, making creaking sounds, as if it would collapse at any time.

Sun Tingfeng knew the explosion was imminent. With a solemn expression, he shouted at everyone, "The explosion is coming! Everyone, use all your strength to build a barrier under the ball of light!"

Although it is almost impossible to completely block this explosion, as long as we can weaken its power, even if it costs us our lives, it will be worth it! "

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices firm and resolute.

Immediately afterwards, everyone circulated the energy in their bodies without hesitation, releasing it without reservation, turning it into brilliant energy streams that whizzed towards the direction of the light ball.

These energy flows intertwined and collided in mid-air, and finally converged more than ten meters below the light ball.

Soon, a colorful barrier took shape thanks to everyone's efforts.

It is like a gorgeous rainbow, extending rapidly in the night sky, emitting a soft yet powerful light.

The barrier continued to expand until it spread hundreds of meters away and then slowly stopped. It was like a solid fortress, lying between the light ball and Zhongzhou City, quietly waiting for the impending impact.

Just as the barrier was taking shape and everyone had no time to relax their tense nerves and take a deep breath, an extremely dazzling white light instantly swept across the entire sky like a surging wave.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by this pure white, and every inch of space was filled with white light, as if being in a chaotic world constructed by white light.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening "boom" sounded like the roar of a long-dormant ancient beast, resounding through every corner of Zhongzhou City with overwhelming force.

The loud noise seemed to burst out from the depths of the earth, carrying endless power and majesty, causing the entire Zhongzhou City to tremble slightly at the sound, as if it were an isolated island swaying in the wind.

Along with the loud noise came an unprecedented huge impact.

This impact was like an invisible giant wall, penetrating the barrier with the force of thunder and hitting the body fiercely.

The barrier shook violently under the impact, making a creaking sound, as if it would collapse at any time.

Everyone felt a powerful force surging like a tide, pressing them so hard that they could hardly breathe.

Everyone couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the blood drew shocking arcs in the air.

Their bodies felt as if they were being oppressed by an invisible mountain. Their legs and feet trembled constantly and they were unable to straighten their backs.

Those people with low cultivation in the building and on the rooftop were overwhelmed by this impact.

Blood slowly flowed from their seven orifices, their eyes gradually blurred, and finally they all fainted, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead. The whole scene was miserable, as if the world had ended.

The blazing white light soon faded away, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear.

Sun Tingfeng subconsciously raised his head, his eyes fixed on the barrier above his head.

Everyone tried their best, using every bit of strength to fight against the terrifying explosion. Their bodies were tense, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their roars echoed in the air.

However, this seemingly indestructible barrier, the moment it came into contact with the impact of the explosion, was like a piece of exquisite porcelain that had been eroded by time and was about to shatter.

Fine cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and each crack seemed to be telling the story of the cruelty and difficulty of this confrontation, as if the barrier would collapse in front of everyone's gaze in the next second.

"Everyone hold on!" Sun Tingfeng roared.

"Ah!!!" Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot and they roared in unwillingness, trying to stand up under this violent impact.

However, reality hit them hard again like a ruthless hammer.

This seemingly ferocious impact was only the first wave of aftermath caused by the explosion. The truly earth-shattering and terrifying energy was still like a dormant beast, and had not yet touched the crumbling barrier.

Between humans and monsters, there is a racial gap, and the gap in realm is like a mountain.

Facing Yin Shan's resolute self-destruction, everyone was like an ant trying to shake a tree. There was nothing they could do except to try their best, pour out the energy in their bodies like a broken dam, and struggle to maintain it.

In just one second, a huge amount of energy like a flood or a beast slammed into the barrier.

This impact was like a thunderbolt, and humans and demonic beasts below the Tianji Realm were completely powerless to resist it. In an instant, their bones and muscles were broken, their consciousness dissipated, and they fell straight from the sky like a bird with broken wings.

In the sky, only Sun Tingfeng's team, White Lion, Flash Wolf and Yuan Xin were still holding on tenaciously.

Their figures were swaying in the raging energy, blood was flowing out of all their orifices, and their whole bodies were shaking, like candles in a strong wind that could go out at any time.

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yuan Xin's mouth, shooting out like an arrow from a bow. He could no longer hold on, his hands dropped limply, and his whole body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

He lay on his back on the ground, looking at the doomsday-like scene in the sky, his eyes filled with endless unwillingness and despair. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

Yuan Xin's fall was like the straw that broke the camel's back. The barrier in the sky shattered silently in an instant, annihilated by the energy of the explosion like a dream.

As the barrier collapsed, everyone felt as if their bodies were hit by a heavy hammer, and their internal organs were displaced.

They all vomited blood and fell heavily from the air to the ground and the surrounding buildings, falling unconscious like broken puppets.

Only Sun Tingfeng, relying on his profound cultivation, managed to maintain a trace of clarity.

But he had already used up his last bit of strength and could only lie powerlessly on the ground, watching the energy from the explosion in the air pouring down towards Zhongzhou City like a flood.

However, there was no fear in his eyes, only a determination to face death head-on.
