Chapter 108: Goodbye
The brutal battle continued in space around Tianyuan. Humans and various races clashed fiercely, with no one giving ground. Everyone employed all their skills and martial arts to eliminate their enemies.
At the height of the battle, a "slice" sound echoed through space, like something being severed. Fighters from both Tianyuan and other races froze, staring at their own bodies in confusion. They felt intense pain spreading throughout their forms, as their bodies began to split apart. But instead of dying, they felt a searing pain and red thorns began sprouting from their skin. Their bodies transformed into horrifying shapes, and in no time, a massive number of blood ants emerged from these people. Once fully transformed, the blood ants let out a terrifying scream that echoed across the battlefield, striking fear into all who heard it.
Both sides in the battle paused, looking around in panic, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Amid the chaos, Feng Yi stood on a warship hovering over the battlefield, her voice resonating with authority.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Yi, the current Empress of the Immortal Phoenix Empire."
She spoke with a cold tone, "I have an important announcement for all of you."
All eyes turned to her, filled with alarm. The chaos on the battlefield paused momentarily as silence and tension filled the air. Everyone waited for Feng Yi's next words.
Bu Miezhu, the leader of the Giant Clan, laughed loudly before taunting, "Is your daughter here to surrender, Feng Yang?" He sneered, but Feng Yang smiled calmly, unaffected by the words, as he listened patiently to his daughter.
Meanwhile, a swarm of blood ants rushed into the battlefield, attacking and slaughtering people from Tianyuan and various races with terrifying speed.
The Earth Rat Tribe on the battlefield watched the blood ants in horror and said, "What are those things?"
Members of the Trade Alliance observed with curiosity, "Ants?" They didn't understand what they were seeing, but before they could react, the blood ants charged, attacking with frenzy. Screams filled the air as bodies and flesh scattered, becoming food for the ravenous blood ants that devoured everything in their path.
As the fierce battle continued, Feng Yang and Bu Miezhu clashed violently, their spear and sword colliding with intense force. Suddenly, a blood ant wielding a massive sword attacked both of them, slicing through the void with incredible speed and power.
Feng Yang shouted in shock, "Tian Lian! No... it can't be... or is it?" His gaze fixed on the blood ant, confusion written on his face.
Bu Miezhu laughed and taunted, "You're as foolish as ever, Feng Yang. Can't you see it has nothing human about it?"
While the two spoke, Feng Yi, standing on her warship, continued, "Some of you may have seen these ant-like creatures, standing on two legs, red in color."
She paused briefly before speaking in a stern tone, "They are a special race sent by the Divine Universes to kill us all! They seek to claim the resources of the fully developed Tianyuan Universe for themselves."
As soon as Feng Yi finished speaking, her words caused an uproar across the battlefield. The various races began to panic and fear, whispers and shouts spreading. Some didn't believe her, while others questioned what they were truly facing. All eyes remained on Feng Yi.
She continued, "The blood ant race can reproduce at an astonishing rate. They can consume others and absorb the power or abilities of those they devour. Additionally, their venom can infiltrate the body through bites, scratches, or any form of contact. It causes excruciating pain, and over time, those afflicted will transform into blood ants. However, you can use spiritual energy to expel the venom."
The leaders of various races discussed loudly. The Golden Shark Clan voiced their dissatisfaction, "This is nonsense!"
The Silver Shark Clan added mockingly, "If I kill you and claim the reward from the Universal Dao, those ants would be nothing to me!"
Feng Yi ignored the taunts and continued, "The Spirit World has already been destroyed..." She raised her hand, projecting an image of the devastated Spirit World into space. Everyone could clearly see the ruins.
The image caused shock among the races; some even became fearful or panicked. Bu Miezhu, the leader of the Giants, stared at the image for a moment, then sheathed his sword and vanished into the void. But before he left, he left a parting comment.
"Lucky for you... if we meet again, you might end up as roast chicken."
Feng Yang chuckled softly, "Anyone can talk, but can you really do it?"
"Hmph..." Bu Miezhu chuckled and disappeared into the void.
Feng Yi refocused, continuing her speech, "And most importantly, they are protected by the Universal Dao!"
This statement silenced the battlefield. Everyone stopped moving instantly, even Bu Miezhu, who was traveling through the void, paused to listen. Murmurs and conversations echoed as fear spread. Most of the factions decided to withdraw from their assault on Tianyuan, following their leaders' orders after witnessing the blood ants. They were eager to return to their worlds immediately.
Meanwhile, Feng Yang stared at the blood ant wielding the sword before him. Its power kept him alert. But before they could engage, Zi Hao emerged from the void, his expression somber, tears streaming down his face.
Zi Hao wiped his tears, looking at the blood ant before him. He spoke, "The system... there's no cure... is there?"
[It's impossible, Host. Even if you were a god right now, you wouldn't be able to save your master.]
Zi Hao stood silently, struggling to come to terms with the situation. After a moment, his expression changed from sorrow to cold resolve. He closed his eyes slowly, memories of Tian Lian flashing through his mind—his master who had saved his life, who taught him the sword, and so much more. Yet, despite the flood of emotions, his face remained expressionless.
Suddenly, the blood ant wielding the sword—once his master, Tian Lian—charged at Zi Hao with incredible speed. Feng Yang watched the confrontation, choosing not to intervene.
Zi Hao opened his eyes, his gaze icy and determined. He spoke softly, a deep sorrow hidden within his voice.
"Goodbye... master."
The sound of a swift sword slash echoed—"shing!"—and the blood ant was torn into thousands of pieces, Its body collapsed and vanished into the void. Zi Hao stood still, but his eyes brimmed with tears, slowly flowing down his cheeks.
