Chapter 2520: Chapter 2488: Sorry, I Was Late

"Forbidden Technique, Equinox Flower!"

The Sovereign King standing in the distance saw Zhou Huo using this technique. He couldn’t help but feel his eyes turn red.

"Senior Zhou Huo..."

He was aware within his heart. This elder of the starry universe had exhausted his life to exert the last force for the entire starry universe.

The Forbidden Technique, Equinox Flower, was a technique only passed down in legends. It is said that it was handed down by a powerful practitioner of the Space Law. Once used, it can forcibly restrict the opponent within a specified area, utilizing intense spatial pressure to directly slay the opponent.

However, although this technique is extremely powerful, it is ultimately a forbidden technique, and the user of the technique will also meet their end.

The power of this forbidden technique varies with the user’s strength. Zhou Huo, being an Origin Realm Powerhouse, could naturally unleash the full potential of the Equinox Flower.

Activating the flower on his chest, Zhou Huo released a mighty spatial pressure like an invisible cage, firmly trapping Kate and the White Demon inside, leaving them unable to move.

At this moment, Zhou Huo’s face was filled with pride; he laughed wildly towards the sky, "Hahaha. Starry Sky Supreme, this old man still has many things yet to comprehend. I’ll seek your advice later!"

"This old man has done his best. As for the fate of the starry universe, that’s no longer my concern..."

Zhou Huo’s tone exuded a carefree joy, as though death held no fear for him.

Zhou Huo, as a powerhouse of that era, narrowly survived, while those old friends once alongside him had long departed.

Now he was leaving, able to drag two down with him. To him, it was worth it!

Meanwhile, Kate, who was confined within the spatial restriction, turned pale and was filled with despair. Clearly, he had heard of this ancient forbidden technique.

"This old thing, where did he learn such a malicious trick? I’m done for!"

But just then, the White Demon beside him took out a palm-sized white talisman paper from his ring. The talisman paper was engraved with strange patterns, and upon close inspection, glimmers of golden light could be seen faintly flashing across its surface.

The White Demon said begrudgingly, "Didn’t expect I’d be forced to use this treasure... It’s truly a loss."

Upon hearing the White Demon’s words, Kate turned his head. Seeing the talisman paper in the White Demon’s hand, he was astonished, "Holy Grade Spirit Talisman?? You still have such a treasure???"

Holy Grade Spirit Talisman, in the entire starry universe and all Era-Ancient civilizations, is considered the ultimate treasure. Its emergence could easily provoke war between two civilizations.

The reason is simple: because its effect is straightforward yet brutal. Once used, it can save half a life under a strike from a Peak Powerhouse of the Founding Realm!

At this moment, it was as if Kate saw new hope; his eyes sparkled with hope, and he hurriedly said, "Brother White Demon, do you still have any of those talismans?"

Originally, Kate’s strength surpassed that of the White Demon. His humble tone now clearly indicated a request of the White Demon.

"Oh? I do indeed have another one." Due to possessing the talisman, the White Demon didn’t fear the forbidden technique, knowing at worst he’d only sustain serious injuries. His tone carried a lightheartedness, "Hehe... Many years ago during a war with other civilizations, I luckily obtained two pieces. Now it seems, it’s fate!"

Upon hearing that the White Demon had another talisman, Kate was ecstatic. It was as though he ascended from hell to paradise.

Feeling the tightening dread around him, as if trying to crush his entire body into powder, Kate hastily stretched out his hand, his tone filled with entreaty, "Brother White Demon, quickly give me the other talisman. After this, I’ll let you choose from all the resources of Blood Bat Civilization! And I’ll also offer a few treasured pills!"

"Hehe." White Demon sat on the ground, smirking faintly. His next words stunned Kate.

"Sorry. What you Blood Bat Civilization has, this seat cannot take a fancy to..." At this moment, a mischievous smile hung upon the White Demon’s face.

"What... you!!!" Hearing the White Demon reject him, Kate was furious to the point where his face contorted. He reached out to seize it, but under the force of spatial pressure, Kate couldn’t move at all.

The White Demon’s expression showed no trace of sympathy, he smiled faintly and said, "Once you’re dead, naturally all resources of your Blood Bat Civilization will belong to the few of us... Rest in peace and go, hahaha!"

Although several Era-Ancient civilizations seemed united at this moment, it was merely for temporary benefit. For them, less one person, more resources for themselves.

In the next instant, only Zhou Huo’s furious roar was heard, unleashing all his cultivation. A wave of vital essence spread through the surrounding space. White Demon’s brow furrowed; he hurriedly placed the talisman on his chest, transforming it into a protective barrier enveloping him.

Bang bang!

Yet Kate wasn’t as fortunate. With the increasing force of spatial pressure, eventually, Kate’s body gradually deformed, accompanied by the sound of bone cracking.

Pop.

In the end, exploded.

Kate’s entire being directly became a mist of blood, not leaving a single bone.

As for Zhou Huo, after using this technique, he merged with the flower on his chest, eventually wilting away....

This former powerhouse, in such a beautiful way, sacrificed his life for his homeland.

And the White Demon, evidently deeply injured, lay on the ground.

----

On the other side, seeing Zhou Huo’s methods during the battle with Tai Chu, the three, Liii Miao, Spirit Bone, and Eka could not help but catch their breath.

One dead, one seriously injured.

With lingering fear, Liii Miao said, "That old guy... Fortunately, he was only at Founding Realm Early Stage. Otherwise, today the five of us would be in danger!"

Spirit Bone gave a large wave of his hand, unleashing a series of true yuan offensives at Tai Chu, causing earth to sink and skies to collapse, while laughing coldly, "Humph, dead is better. One less person to share the spoils."

Although Tai Chu was in Founding Realm Late Stage, one person faced against three and didn’t possess those terrifying forbidden techniques, so at this moment he had also sustained some minor injuries.

Eka from Beastman Civilization, with his massive claws able to tear through the air, aimed a fierce swipe at Tai Chu, and at this time, Liii Miao’s gaze fell upon Lin Yi behind him. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You drag him here first. I’ll go deal with that woman!"

To them, this woman was the greatest threat.

Saying this, Liii Miao transformed into a stream of light and darted towards Lin Yi. His hand turned into a praying mantis-like scythe shape.

"Not good!" Tai Chu noticed and hastily withdrew, intending to protect Lin Yi. However, he didn’t expect Spirit Bone’s massive figure already blocked him, launching a punch directly at him.

"Hey hey... Where are you going?" Spirit Bone sneered.

Within these few seconds, Liii Miao, exploding his speed as an Origin Realm Powerhouse to its peak, directly flashed before the crowd.

Sovereign King Dao Saint, Jin Lun Saint Daoist and others stepped forward to block, were instantly severely injured by Liii Miao’s large hand wave.

And Lin Yi. Standing there, wearing a white long skirt, her hair swayed with the wind, appearing serene and beautiful.

Liii Miao’s figure enlarged continuously in her eyes, a strong gust blew her into the air. Below, Sovereign King Golden Wheel and others screamed in despair.

"I’m not afraid of dying... Just regret not seeing you once more..." Lin Yi closed her eyes mid-air, murmuring. Tears streaked down from the corners of her eyes.

She was unresentful and unafraid. Yet ultimately felt unfortunate for not seeing that person.

But then, in the next moment. Mid-air, Lin Yi suddenly felt herself fall into someone’s arms, enveloped by an incredibly familiar and long-missed presence.

Simultaneously, a gentle voice reached over.

"Sorry, I’m late."
