310: Chapter 310 I heard that if two people in love die together...

Just as Su Chen's soul completely sealed itself off, locking him forever in that hellish abyss of only guilt and deathly silence, the final flash of brilliance in the real world seemed to have finally reached its end.

Far beyond the endless dimensions, at the source of the Spirit River, the water that had been continuously gushing forth from the place where Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen slumbered was dwindling.

The flow grew smaller and smaller. Finally, at a certain critical point, the spring that had been bubbling with water stopped producing anything at all.

The vast Great Demon origin that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had sacrificed to forcibly mend the cracks in the world had been exhausted of its last trace of spiritual essence under the erosion of high-dimensional pollution.

The Spirit River, which maintained the last breath of vitality between Blue Star and the Great Ning World, had completely ceased to flow.

Corresponding to this, in the reality of Blue Star, in the East Sea area where the President of Flower Feather Society had forcibly dragged Cthulhu into the "one-on-one dark room," a heaven-shaking roar erupted without warning, causing the entire Blue Star to tremble violently.

"Rumble—!" It was as if the heart of the universe had let out a groan of unbearable weight.

The firmament of the East Sea was torn in two by a pair of invisible giant hands.

An abyssal rift, a hundred or even a thousand times larger than any that had appeared elsewhere on Blue Star, stretched across the sky above the East Sea.

Immediately following, countless abyssal monsters—the Cthulhu spawn, twisted in form and exuding an aura that caused sanity to collapse—poured down from the rift like a breached black tsunami, blotting out the sun and sky.

Countless giant tentacles waved within the churning clouds.

That torrent of destruction, filled with malice, surged madly into Blue Star.

And this sea area happened to be the closest to the core population centers along the coast of Great Xia.

Although the population and industry of Great Xia had largely retreated inland before the catastrophe occurred, the event had been too sudden, and the evacuation was not fast enough.

Once this black torrent made landfall, the civilization of Great Xia, and indeed the entire Blue Star, would be reduced to nothing in an instant.

The piercing, highest-level air defense alarm resounded across every inch of Great Xia's land.

Fortunately, the Great Xia Hall of Valor had never lowered its guard.

They had long since built defensive works stretching for ten thousand miles along the East Sea frontline.

At this moment, this defensive line had become the last barrier for all of humanity.

Facing this rapidly deteriorating, devastating crisis, even the six women, including Zhuge Jinyu, who were immersed in immense grief, had to draw their blades and step forward.

Because they were the only remaining core fighting force on Blue Star, the pillars of white jade supporting this world from collapsing immediately.

However, when they were preparing to rush to the frontline, looking at Su Chen, who was still huddled in a dark corner with snow-white hair and a dull gaze, clutching the remains of Su Daji, the hearts of all the women were bleeding.

"We must take Sir with us." Zhuge Jinyu tightened her grip on the vermilion bird feather fan in her hand.

"But... Brother is in this state now; never mind self-preservation, he might not even be able to walk."

"If we go to the battlefield, even the slightest aftermath of the fighting could hurt him." Su Wanyue's eyes were red, her voice filled with deep reluctance.

"Is staying here safe?" Ye Jingjun sneered.

"Once the defensive line is broken, Jianghai City, located on the edge of the East Sea, will bear the brunt and be reduced to an Avici hell."

"In this world, where is there any absolutely safe rear area?"

"Even if we send Husband back to the interior, it's just the difference between dying sooner or later."

She turned her head and took a deep look at the foolish, white-haired man.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the six of us are currently the strongest bodyguard team on Blue Star."

"Only by our side, within our sword perimeter, is the safest place."

"Taking a step back," Ye Jingjun paused, a tear sliding from the corner of her eye, "if Blue Star is truly destined to end, in my heart of hearts, I want to die in the same place as him."

"I heard... if two people who love each other can die together, when they are reincarnated in the next life, they will be able to be just a little bit closer."

The Female Sword Immortal had believed this saying for a very, very long time.

In the Great Ning World, after Su Chen had fallen, Ye Jingjun had always wanted to commit suicide by his side to follow him.

These words caused all the beauties present to fall into silence.

Afterward, they all nodded heavily.

Living in the same quilt, dying in the same grave.

...

The wild wind roared, and black clouds pressed down on the city.

The group of seven shuttled through the air and finally landed in front of the East Sea coastline of Jianghai City.

At this time, that towering embankment, originally built to prevent super tsunamis, had become a majestic steel defensive fortification after being reinforced by countless martial artists and formation masters.

On the other side of the embankment was a purgatory scene resembling the end of the world.

Black waves beat against the dam day and night.

These waves were no ordinary waves; they carried a large amount of corrosive liquid, which had already corroded the dam, made of special materials, until it was pockmarked.

And in the sky above the dam were dense, countless numbers of alien demons.

They were like a swarm of locusts that never knew fatigue, frantically charging against the formation barrier.

Above the embankment, countless martial artists had already gathered.

Some were wearing the attire of the various Halls of Valor, some were wearing the Taoist robes of Wangchen Temple, and some were wearing the uniforms of the Huayu Association, proving their identities as members of major organizations.

The strength of this group of martial artists was basically at the sixth rank or higher; although small in number, they were high in quality and could be considered the main force in resisting the invasion of alien demons in this war.

Besides them, there were many human martial artists wearing civilian martial artist attire that even Zhuge Jinyu did not recognize.

The strength of these martial artists was very uneven.

Although there were many of them, there were actually not many who had broken through to the sixth rank or higher.

Most of them had not even received professional martial artist training, let alone been on a battlefield.

However, they did not retreat or fear.

After all, Great Xia had a large population.

Even if martial artists were one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, that still amounted to hundreds of thousands.

Numerous martial artists pushed their spiritual power to the limit and stood in the sky.

Shoulder to shoulder, back to back, the dense crowd of figures, amidst the precarious wind and rain, faintly used their flesh and blood to build the shape of a majestic Great Wall.

Just as Zhuge Jinyu and the others were preparing to ascend into the air to join the core blocking battle, Teacher Wang Jin, who had been silently protecting Su Chen, suddenly froze.

She pointed to an inconspicuous corner at the top of the embankment and said with some astonishment: "Look... how can there be an ordinary person there?"

The women looked in the direction she pointed, and all of them were shocked.

At the top of the embankment, where artillery fire raged and spiritual power surged, there was actually an ordinary old man with no cultivation!
