"This is... the last guardian of the dragon race!" Chu Zihang said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with cold determination.

"It will be our final obstacle," Tian said coldly, the light in his golden eyes growing even sharper. "Destroy it, and the Dragon's Tear will be completely without protection."

The colossal beast's roar shook the heavens and earth, the oppressive atmosphere almost suffocating, and the power of the Dragon's Tear seemed to spread across the battlefield through its body. Its scales emitted an eerie purple light, and its claws, carrying destructive force, hurtled towards the two.

"Let's go!" Chu Zihang shouted in a low voice, leaping up suddenly with his blade pointing straight at the giant beast's chest.

Tian followed closely behind, firing both guns at full power, bullets shooting like meteors towards the beast's eyes, attempting to distract it from its attack. Every bullet he fired was incredibly accurate, but the beast's scales were exceptionally strong, and the bullets could only leave slight marks on them.

The giant beast swung its claws down suddenly, slamming them into the ground with tremendous destructive force.

Chu Zihang swiftly dodged, but the immense impact still caused him to stagger a few steps. He immediately adjusted his stance and launched another attack, the blade gleaming coldly as it aimed directly at the giant beast's throat.

Tian's golden eyes flashed with analytical light as he quickly found the behemoth's weakness: "Its weakness lies in the rune core on its chest. Focus your attack there!"

"Understood!" Chu Zihang exerted his strength, and the blade pierced straight into the giant beast's chest with lightning speed.

The behemoth let out an angry roar and suddenly raised its giant claws to block Chu Zihang's attack, but Tian had already launched a fierce barrage of fire on its flanks. Bullets rained down on the behemoth's side, successfully restraining its counterattack.

"Now!" Chu Zihang shouted, and the blade pierced into the giant beast's chest, striking the core of the rune.

With a muffled explosion, the behemoth's rune core was completely shattered, and a powerful surge of energy erupted instantly. Its body began to tremble violently, its scales cracked, and dark energy flowed out from its body, as if its entire body was disintegrating.

The behemoth let out a mournful roar, then collapsed heavily, eventually turning into black dust and disappearing from the battlefield.

"It's over." Chu Zihang gasped for breath, his hand gripping the knife trembling slightly, but his gaze remained cold and resolute.

"No, not yet." Tian's voice remained calm, his gaze fixed on the core of the Dragon's Tear. "The Dragon's Tear has not been completely destroyed; its power must be completely sealed."

The two quickly walked deeper into the rift and stood before the core of the Dragon's Tear. The purple light still flickered, as if making a final struggle.

"Destroy it in one strike," Tian said in a low voice, aiming his twin pistols at the core of the Dragon's Tear, preparing for the final attack.

"We will not fail." Chu Zihang gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, his gaze cold and resolute.

With a deafening explosion, the core of the Dragon's Tear was completely shattered by the combined attack of gunfire and blades. The purple light vanished instantly, and the entire valley fell into a brief silence.

The power of the Dragon's Tears seems to have been sealed, and the world has returned to peace.

Purple light rose, and the entire valley was enveloped in the oppressive aura of the Dragon's Tear. Tian and Chu Zihang stood at the edge of the crack, facing the enormous creature that could not be ignored, and their tension grew.

They knew this was far from over. The moment the behemoth fell, the energy fluctuations in the air didn't subside; instead, they became even more violent. The purple light of the Dragon's Tear began to flicker intensely, as if gathering some kind of power.

"Damn it, the Dragon's Tear is repairing itself!" Tian quickly analyzed, his golden eyes flashing with unease. "The core hasn't been completely destroyed yet; it's rebuilding its power."

"Impossible!" Chu Zihang stared in astonishment at Dragon's Tear, his hand gripping the knife trembling slightly. "We clearly shattered its core, so why can it start functioning again?"

Suddenly, an unusual tremor came from the depths of the crack, followed by an energy fluctuation that was even stronger than before.

The purple light at the core of the Dragon's Tear suddenly became even more dazzling, and a massive runic halo gradually appeared in the air, as if summoning some ancient power. Ancient incantations echoed in the air, and the power of the runes began to envelop the entire valley.

"It's absorbing the dragon's remaining energy, trying to complete its final awakening!" Tian gritted his teeth and quickly pulled the trigger of his dual pistols. The bullets once again aimed at the core of the Dragon's Tear, but this time, the bullets couldn't penetrate the runic halo at all and were instantly deflected.

"This is bad," Chu Zihang said in a deep voice, his gaze cold and stern. He looked at the ever-strengthening rune defenses, his brows furrowed. "This is not a defense we can easily break through."

“We must find its weakness,” Tian Leng Leng analyzed. “The core defense of Dragon’s Tears relies on the rune array. Once the energy flow is interrupted, the defense will collapse instantly.”

Chu Zihang nodded, quickly glancing around to try and find the source of the energy flow. "We don't have time. The enemy's rune array is rapidly repairing itself. If we don't stop it immediately, the power of the Dragon's Tear will fully awaken!"

"Split up," Tian decisively ordered. "You disrupt the energy flow, and I'll take care of controlling the core of the rune defense."

"Understood." Chu Zihang responded and quickly took action. He flashed past the rune halo and rushed towards the outer edge of the rune array, trying to find the weak point in the energy flow.

Tian continued to lock onto the core of Dragon's Tear, firing his dual pistols incessantly, but the rune protection layer grew stronger and stronger, giving him absolutely no chance.

His golden eyes flashed continuously, capturing the patterns in the rune fluctuations, trying to find a breakthrough through analysis.

At the same time, Chu Zihang moved through the outer rune array, every inch of land was filled with rune energy, as if the entire valley had become an extension of the Dragon's Tear.

His blade flashed swiftly, slicing through the rune warriors blocking his path, but with each enemy he killed, more emerged from the darkness, seemingly endless.

"These guys... they're providing energy for the Dragon's Tear!" Chu Zihang quickly realized that the rune warriors were not independent beings; their lives were connected to the core of the Dragon's Tear, and by absorbing their power, the Dragon's Tear's protective layer was constantly being strengthened.

"Heavens! Rune Warriors are the source of energy! We must kill more and cut off their power supply!" Chu Zihang shouted through the communicator, while simultaneously severing the neck of a Rune Warrior with his sword.

“Understood.” Tian calmly replied, and his bullets began to target the rune warriors who were trying to power the Dragon's Tear. Each bullet hit its target precisely, disrupting their energy transfer.

However, as the battle intensified, the energy fluctuations of the Dragon's Tears became increasingly violent.

A massive shockwave emanated from the core, and Chu Zihang and Tian simultaneously felt an intense sense of oppression, as if the entire space was trembling. The rune warriors' attacks intensified, as if they knew their mission had reached its final stage, desperately protecting the Dragon's Tear.

“There’s another layer of defense,” Tian said coldly, his golden eyes flashing with complex light and shadow. “The core defense of the Dragon’s Tear is absorbing every attack we launch; we must break through this barrier!”

Chu Zihang was panting, his wounds were multiplying, but he still did not back down. "I must hit him with one blow. I can't delay any longer!"

Just then, an even more dazzling purple beam of light suddenly appeared at the core of the Dragon's Tear. It began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy, as if it wanted to devour all the power of the entire valley.

The purple light gradually spread and soared into the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield in this powerful force.

"The Dragon's Tear is about to awaken!" Tian shouted, quickly making a decision. "Chu Zihang, prepare for the final blow, attack the core!"

Chu Zihang nodded, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on the core area of ​​the Dragon's Tear. "This is our last chance."

The two charged forward simultaneously. Tian Shuangqiang unleashed his full firepower, frantically suppressing the rune warrior's counterattack, while Chu Zihang brandished his blade, rushing towards the core of Dragon's Tear at top speed.

The rune warriors tried to stop their attack, but under the intense assault, their defenses gradually crumbled.

Chu Zihang leaped up suddenly, his blade tracing a sharp arc in the air, aiming straight for the core of the Dragon's Tear. At the same time, Tian's bullet precisely struck the weak point of the runic aura, instantly shattering its defense.

"Bang!" The blade collided with the core, producing a deafening explosion.

The purple light of the Dragon's Tear suddenly went out, and the entire valley fell into silence.

"Did we succeed?" Lu Mingfei's voice came through the communicator, tinged with fatigue and doubt.

Tian Leng coldly stared at the core of the Dragon's Tear, a glimmer of light flashing in his golden eyes. "We've temporarily sealed its power, but we're not finished yet. The Dragon's Tear still exists; its power is just temporarily suppressed by us."

Chu Zihang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hand still gripping the knife tightly. "We must seal it completely, otherwise the power of the dragons will return at any time."
