Chapter 1252: Chapter 536: Slaying the Emperor! (Thanks to the six Alliance Hierarchs of Xinsi-Qiyu for their rewards!)_3

"The artifact is destroyed, yet the Rakshasa lives on."

"Hold on, the artifact is destroyed... but what about the person?" Ji Wuyun spotted the loophole.

"The ’Qingshan Annals’ did not record him, perhaps... he was not qualified."

"Is it possible... that he won?"

"The chance is slim. It’s more likely that he was defeated, with a small possibility that he escaped with his life." A staff member of Thornblood remarked.

The events recorded in the "Qingshan Annals," while they might undergo minor changes, are unlikely to deviate in their overall course.

Just as the scheming of Thornblood could never fail.

The Divine Wood would turn into Strange Spirits, and the Qingshan Realm would become the Eerie Realm.

And the task he received in the Void Paradise was to hasten this process.

"I wonder... how it ended," he sighed softly.

Meanwhile, in the royal capital.

A towering figure stood tall, as if he were a sky-supporting pillar of white jade, a sea-spanning crossbeam of purple gold.

His indifferent and majestic gaze gave him the appearance of a high and mighty Heavenly God.

The fifth Disparater spat out crimson blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of surprise on his face.

"I didn’t expect the gap between us to be so great. I’ve used all my might to flee, yet you still managed to wound me."

Facing Qi Yuan’s attack, he mustered the courage to... dodge for a moment, hoping to rely on his strength to fight back.

But dodging quickly was futile.

He was still grazed, bearing serious injuries.

"So be it, I’ll hide no longer... I won’t give you a way out!" The fifth Disparater was wordy in his feebleness.

Judging by his tone, it seemed as if he were about to reveal his full strength.

But everyone knew that this might be as strong as he gets.

His so-called unveiling of strength was nothing more than bringing out the dark spirit.

In an instant, a deep blue light revealed itself before the fifth Disparater.

He wore a smug look on his face: "You should know... what this is!"

Qi Yuan’s expression remained unchanged.

He immediately recognized that it was a dark spirit designed to corrupt Divine Artifacts.

"With it here, your death today is certain," the fifth Disparater declared coldly.

All at once, this droplet suddenly overflowed.

It was as if a blue rain had begun to fall from heaven and earth.

This rain... spread over the entire royal capital, impossible to avoid.

"Let’s see how you escape!"

"If it were another Divine Grade Soldier Commander, perhaps they could use Divine Power to barely fend it off."

"But you are a Divine Artifact, any contact with Divine Power would corrupt and decay it."

The torrential rain plummeted down as if to flood the entire royal capital.

The rain, empowered by the dark spirit, could corrupt Divine Artifacts and corrode... ordinary Mortals.

This rain was like real "sulfuric acid" rain.

Should it fall, who knows how many Life forms would perish.

Tall buildings corroded and collapsed.

The rain continued to drop swiftly.

Qi Yuan’s expression was calm. He glanced briefly at the common people below, insignificant as ants.

They were so fragile, yet they lived with such tenacity.

Playing Shen Lin, as Shen Lin, at this moment, his choice was...

"Inhale!"

Qi Yuan opened a gargantuan mouth.

A powerful suction force concentrated at this moment.

Rain of the universe!

All within my body!

This colossal being, facing the blue rain, opened his mouth wide.

All the rain between heaven and earth entered his stomach at this moment.

His Divine Power was dissipating rapidly.

The white glow within his crimson armor, the golden threads, were also stripped away, being drained continuously.

From afar, Liu Sheng, with a hoarse voice, said to Liu Chudong, "He’s just like you... a foolish child. To protect the innocent people from the poisoned rain, he chose to drink it all!"

Although Liu Sheng didn’t know what was in the poisoned rain.

It was clear that it was specifically designed to target Shen Lin.

Clearly, he could have dodged, merely tainted by a trickle, but for the sake of the people, he chose to suffer and swallow all the poisonous rain.

Liu Chudong wore a look of worry and guilt: "I... judged a noble by my own low standards."

Before coming here, she had thought that Qi Yuan would lose himself to power.

At this moment, he sacrificed himself for the people and all living beings, an image she admired and respected, even if it was a foolish and selfless Shen Lin.

She gazed towards the sky.

There, the towering crimson figure seemed to be struck by lightning, burned by fire, corroded by poison.

The sound of sizzling was continuous.

His Divine Power turned into thick smoke.

His figure was shrinking.

It seemed to be dissolving.

At this moment, the people protected by Shen Lin, as if they realized something, looked up at the rapidly weakening form in the sky and couldn’t help but cry out "Shen Lin."

"Shen Lin!"

"Shen Lin!"

More and more people called out.

Even if a hundred years could wash away all memories.

But the citizens of Rakshasa Country never ceased to desire "Shen Lin."

A sneer appeared in the fifth Disparater’s eyes: "I didn’t expect even with an additional ruler, you’re still so foolish.

These lowly people, cut one batch down and next year another will grow, how could they be more valuable than the lives of ours?"

Qi Yuan did not avoid the dark spirit, even consuming all the poisoned rain, which was beyond his expectations.

His original plan was to use the poison rain to make Shen Lin cautious and gradually erode him before finally killing him.

But in the end, Shen Lin swallowed it all.

That saved him the trouble.

He could already see that Shen Lin’s Divine Power was collapsing rapidly.

In a few moments, He would fall completely.

However, just then, from the increasingly smaller figure, a lazy voice rang out.

"If so many people call for Shen Lin, if I were a knight in armor, or perhaps Ultraman, maybe I could draw on the power of their hearts, unleash my cosmos, and slay you."

"What a pity I’m not. I am only me, a gamer playing Shen Lin."

With his words falling.

Boom!

The hundred-foot giant collapsed and dispersed.

What appeared before the eyes of the world was an extraordinarily handsome young man.
