I will burn books and slay gods.

Old Li and Gong Zhan stared at Chen Chen in shock, unable to believe that Chen Chen would do such a thing.

"Chen Chen, you shouldn't have done that!" Gong Zhan said anxiously.

"Old Gong, my brother passed away before me." Chen Chen said without a smile, his eyes filled with tears. "This was my choice, so please let me make it."

Old Li looked at Chen Chen, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. He couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart. He never expected that this crisis would cause him to lose so many people.

Looking at Chen Chen with a smile on his face and a determined look in his eyes, neither Gong Zhan nor Lao Li intended to continue to obstruct him.

Then Chen Chen looked at Gong Zhan and Lao Li one last time, perhaps the last time they would ever see each other.

Chen Chen then turned and slowly walked towards the Throat of the Scorching Sands. The Throat of the Scorching Sands stared at the human in front of it and said provocatively, "So you've come to challenge me, human?"

"The aura emanating from your entire body is slowly weakening. Human, you are about to disappear."

"I really don't understand, why would such a weak creature do this? Even though you're about to die?"

Chen Chen stood in front of the Throat of Hot Sands without speaking, and began to release energy from his entire body!

And it slowly rose up in front of the Throat of Hot Sands until it was level with the Throat of Hot Sands' mouth, and then stopped.

"How dare you ignore me, human! You're asking for death!" the Throat of the Hot Sand roared angrily.

The right arm, solidified from the throat of the scorching sand, was raised and swung towards Chen Chen, attempting to slam him back to the ground from the air!

The right hand of the Throat of Hot Sands stopped in mid-air the instant it collided with Chen Chen's body.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, the right hand that had touched Chen Chen exploded completely!

It turned into countless fragments of blood, scattered on the yellow sand. Thick pus, like threads, connected the scattered pieces of flesh together.

As the hand of the Throat of Hot Sand exploded, Chen Chen's figure shone like a dazzling morning star!

"Gong Zhan, look!" Old Li called out to him.

After Lao Li shouted, Gong Zhan looked in Chen Chen's direction. At this moment, Chen Chen's figure had undergone a shocking transformation!

A crimson-gold aura emanated from Chen Chen's body, shocking everyone who witnessed it.

Chen Chen was now clad in crimson-gold armor, gripping a longbow tightly in his hand, resembling an elf in magnificent attire.

His originally jet-black hair had now been dyed silver-white.

"Is this the form Chen Chen has taken when he reached the Lamp Array Realm?" Old Li couldn't help but marvel at him!

Each Night Watcher will awaken a new form upon reaching the Lantern Array Realm.

However, using this form consumes one's life force each time, so each use causes significant damage to the Night Watcher.

At this moment, Chen Chen awakened a new form, which is what everyone saw—the Elf King!

However, the form that the Night Watchers awaken in is unknown to everyone.

Therefore, the form in which each Night Watcher awakens is recorded in the headquarters archives.

Because each new form that awakens will not appear twice in the headquarters archives.

Therefore, this form of awakening was designated by headquarters as unique and independent.

At this moment, even the Throat of the Hot Sands was shocked when they saw this situation.

He never imagined that humans would possess such immense power.

"This...this! You actually awakened this power, this form is clearly...only we...can do this!"

"Bastard! I'm going to wipe you out completely!"

Nightmare was furious as he watched this scene.

But Chen Chen showed no emotional fluctuation; instead, he stared coldly at Nightshade's volatile state.

"Enough with the nonsense. Now, prepare for your death," Chen Chen said calmly.

Chen Chen gripped the longbow tightly with his left hand, and with his right hand, he slid it across the bow and arrow, producing a crimson arrow.

As Chen Chen loosened his grip, the arrow, like a red meteor, flew straight toward the throat of the hot sand!

In an instant, the arrow released a massive amount of energy, spiraling towards the throat of the hot sand!

The Maw of the Scorching Sands immediately raised its arms to block, perhaps because the energy released by the arrows was too powerful.

Even the Maw of the Hot Sands was shocked, and its massive body couldn't help but retreat backward!

The yellow sand beneath our feet, retreating from the throat of the hot sand, has piled up into a huge loess plateau.

In an instant, the arrow shattered the arms of the Throat of Scorching Sands, and the arms that were originally blocking the arrow were pierced through!

Immediately afterwards, the arrow hurtled straight toward the throat of the hot sand!

Perhaps because the body of the Throat of the Hot Sands was originally soft and could not resist at all, the arrow did not react at all and pierced through it in an instant.

A huge, exposed hole appeared in the view of all the remaining Night Watchers.

At this moment, Chen Ye, who was hiding behind the loess slope, was also shocked when he saw this scene.

He never expected that reaching the Lamp Array Realm would grant him such immense power.

At this moment, Chen Ye asked the old man in his spiritual space, "Old man, have you ever seen such power?"

The old man offered no explanation, but instead told Chen Ye, "This power is far too great for you humans; it's beyond your capacity to withstand!"

"This power's impact on your strength and its damage to your bodies is irreversible."

The old man only told Chen Ye about the dangers involved, but did not deny the power of this force.

Because its energy is so clearly displayed before our eyes, it is possible that this is the only step the old man can take in, and he will be unable to make any decisions about what comes next!

As Chen Ye's gaze continued toward team leader Chen Chen, what he saw next shocked him!

This was because when Chen Ye saw Chen Chen's body, it was in the same state as when he had cut down the Nightmare in front of him, and its body had dissipated and turned into mist.

As for team leader Chen Chen, his body was slowly becoming transparent. Chen Ye couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the energy consumption from this is so severe?"

This situation may only be unknown to Chen Ye himself. Chen Chen, the team leader, has now reached the Lantern Array Realm because he forcibly raised his own realm. This backlash is the harbinger of his "death" so quickly.

Chen Chen gradually became aware of the backlash from his body, but he did not immediately stop using it. If he stopped using this power now, he might be able to survive!

However, Chen Chen did not do that!

He wanted to completely eliminate the Nightmare in front of him, firstly for everyone's safety, and secondly to avenge his younger brother!
