Chapter 1444: Humanity's Stars Shine Bright (Part 5)

Hum—

The moment this sound resonated, a low rumble came from above the sky. The daylight visibly dimmed, as if something vast was floating in the firmament, completely obscuring the sun. A colossal shadow slowly moved, directly engulfing the entire Jade Expanse Realm.

"Th-that... that's..." Jian Changsheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Boundless Realm??" "A Boundless Realm made entirely of steel???"

This steel realm, floating in the sky, was described as a realm, yet its size was more than three times that of the Jade Expanse Realm. Even if all existing steel resources in the world were combined, it would be impossible to construct even a third of this behemoth... But now, this super-realm, defying all logic, appeared before everyone's eyes!

And at the bottom of that super-realm, a black robe fluttered silently in the wind as the person slowly spread their hands: "The defeat of the Human Realm is a foregone conclusion... and I shall be the savior of the new era."

Monarch Wuji, Lou Yu.

Monarch Xuanyu gazed at the Boundless Realm descending from the sky, first taken aback, then a faint glimmer of light appeared in his eyes!

The sea of fire generated by the nuclear explosion was dispersed by a hurricane that swept everything away. The massive skeletal dragon spread its wings on the ground. Its angry, wind-tunnel-like eyes fixed on Monarch Wuji in the sky. A roaring dragon's cry echoed through the heavens!! Roar——!!!

Under the deterrent of that surging world-ending pressure, Monarch Wuji's face remained devoid of any expression. He merely glanced indifferently at Xicai, then his gaze fell upon Monarch Xuanyu standing nearby.

"What's wrong... don't you love putting on an act? Don't tell me you can't keep it up now," Monarch Wuji said in a deep voice.

Monarch Xuanyu spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then coldly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Not by a long shot."

"Is that so?" Monarch Wuji said indifferently, looking at Xicai. "Then, let me see."

Monarch Xuanyu snorted coldly. The next second, a powerful aura erupted from his body. Gripping his Particle Holy Sword, he charged like thunder directly towards the skeletal dragon in the sea of fire!

Almost simultaneously, Monarch Wuji's figure flickered, his body transforming directly into a vast, sweeping mercury downpour, surging forward! Two Monarch-level auras, one after another, flanked Xicai!!

Monarch Xuanyu was the first to reach Xicai. As his foot heavily stamped on the ground, the mass of all matter within a ten-kilometer radius was altered. Rubble and ruins scattered across the ground simultaneously broke free from gravity's embrace, floating weightlessly towards the sky... A Particle Holy Sword slash, piercing heaven and earth, swept directly towards Xicai!!

Xicai felt as heavy as if filled with lead, unable to flap its wings and return to the sky. Its wind-tunnel-like eyes furiously stared at the foolhardy Ji Xuan. One colossal skeletal wing whistled as it swept towards the Particle Holy Sword!

Clang——!!!

The Particle Holy Sword collided with Xicai's bone wing, and the sweeping shockwave pulverized the surrounding ground. The Particle Holy Sword vibrated wildly. Ji Xuan's strength was naturally no match for Xicai, the world-ending calamity. And Xicai's indestructible bones showed no fear whatsoever of the Particle Holy Sword's destructive power. After a brief struggle, the holy sword in Monarch Xuanyu's hand was on the verge of collapsing.

"Lou Yu!! What are you waiting for!!" Monarch Xuanyu roared.

Whoosh——

The vast, sweeping mercury downpour surged directly through the skeletal dragon's body. As if guided by some force, it furiously converged on Xicai's bone wing! Monarch Wuji's power circulated within the downpour, and the originally indestructible world-ending bones surprisingly began to gradually transform into fragile crystal under this rain! As the world-ending bones crystallized, the cracks on the surface of the Particle Holy Sword stopped spreading. At the same time, hideous cracks instead appeared on that very bone wing of Xicai!!

Bang——!!!!

With a thunderous boom, the Particle Holy Sword horizontally sliced through Xicai's body. Monarch Xuanyu in white and Monarch Wuji in black passed through the colossal body, one from the left and one from the right... Half of Xicai's bone wing was thus brutally severed, shattering into a sky full of crystal dust, disintegrating in the air!!

"Holy crap, that's amazing!!" Jian Changsheng was so excited he almost jumped when he saw this scene. He had seen many world-ending calamities until now, but this was the first time he had witnessed one suffer such severe injuries... The combat power displayed by the two Monarchs working together was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

"How come they talk like enemies, yet fight so cooperatively side-by-side?" Sun Buming rubbed his chin suspiciously.

As the residents of the Jade Expanse Realm cheered excitedly at this sight, Monarch Xuanyu stumbled, supporting himself with one hand on the ground, violently spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His entire aura was as weak as a flickering candle in the wind.

Xicai, having lost half a bone wing, roared with an aura as furious as an erupting volcano, its world-ending pressure surging wildly between heaven and earth. It immediately locked onto Monarch Xuanyu, who had personally severed half of its bone wing, and its massive body surged towards him as if flying just above the ground!

Almost simultaneously, a black-robed figure soared above Xicai! Monarch Wuji raised a hand and pressed downwards; the sun-like intensity generated by nuclear fusion erupted with a roar, and a vast sea of fire immediately engulfed Xicai's body. However, this supremely deadly weapon to humans seemed to have limited effect on Xicai. Its form was only briefly delayed before it burst forth from the exploding inferno!

But it was this brief pause that allowed a hand to swiftly grab Monarch Xuanyu by the back of his collar, lifting him directly into the air! Xicai's massive form sped past on the ground, smashing through endless material ruins, yet it only barely grazed Monarch Xuanyu's afterimage...

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Monarch Xuanyu, held aloft by Monarch Wuji, coughed violently. After a long moment, he spoke weakly, "Put me down, I can still fight."

"I know you can still fight," Monarch Wuji said calmly. "But in your current physical condition, you can launch an attack like the last one only once more... can't you?"

Monarch Xuanyu remained silent.

"What... do you actually care if I live or die?" Monarch Xuanyu rasped. "Unlike you, I don't extend my life by sacrificing a multitude of ordinary people. My life is finite... even if I don't fight, I'll die here sooner or later anyway."

Monarch Wuji directly ignored Monarch Xuanyu's sarcastic taunt. His gaze swept over the ground below, then he carried Monarch Xuanyu and landed far away. He placed one hand on the earth, and the next second, the ground around Xicai in the distance directly transformed into a mire, briefly delaying its movement.

"Whether you live or die, I don't care," Monarch Wuji said coldly. "But if you're going to die, you'll die on the blade! If we don't find a way to deal with Xicai today, not a single one of your people will leave here alive!"
