There had been many times when death was close!
But this time, death had truly arrived!
Endless unwillingness, endless anger!
Before dying, Sauron gazed at Princess Zhiyan, his true wife.
This morning, she had received the Silent Speech Butterfly from the Dragon Temple!
This Silent Speech Butterfly should have been sent by Huai Bingyi, informing Zhiyan that the World-Destroying Demon Emperor might be Sauron, telling her to make preparations early.
Zhiyan might have struggled, which was why she asked Sauron what love was.
She repeatedly confirmed her own heart, choosing between the safety of the Raging Waves Kingdom and the Zhi Clan, or Sauron.
Then, she received the answer in her heart. There was no love in her heart.
So, she ultimately chose to abandon Sauron!
Even though she knew that doing so meant completely compromising with the Dragon Temple.
But she still did it.
Ji Mengbai said indifferently, “Sauron, didn’t you say this world is completely dark, utterly hopeless? Then let us make you even more hopeless, let us render the tragic atmosphere of your World-Destroying Demon Emperor even more vividly, shall we?”
Then, gripping a treasured sword, he aimed at Sauron’s chest and thrust it in fiercely.
A second sword pierced Sauron’s heart.
“Pu chi!”
Blood splattered out.
“Huai Bingyi, your turn.” Ji Mengbai said.
Huai Bingyi stepped forward, looked at Sauron’s face and said, “The words you spoke before dying are meaningless.”
Then, he nonchalantly drew his treasured sword, aimed at Sauron’s heart, and thrust it in fiercely!
“Pu chi…”
Sauron’s heart was pierced once again.
Next was Fu Lingxi. She somewhat unhappily drew her own treasured sword, because it was not a Dragon Gold sword.
She walked before Sauron and said, “You may find it very strange. Even a fierce tiger does not eat its cubs, let alone a human? But I am a person of the Dragon Temple. The Dragon Temple and the secular world are not the same.”
Then, gripping her sharp sword, she aimed at Sauron’s heart and thrust it in fiercely!
“Pu chi…”
Blood sprayed all over Fu Lingxi’s face.
Making her breathtakingly beautiful face appear even more gorgeous and demonic.
Four swords pierced through Sauron’s heart.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dead by now. But the Demon Star was still desperately sending vitality and energy into Sauron. So he never closed his eyes, keeping them open the entire time.
“The master of the Demon Star is indeed different. Four swords stabbed into his heart, yet he still hasn’t died.” Ji Mengbai said indifferently, “Xiuning, your turn.”
Ji Xiuning came before Sauron, gazed into his eyes, and said indifferently, “Sauron, you spoke very well, deafeningly so, but… it is meaningless.”
Blood kept pouring from Sauron’s mouth. He trembled and asked, “Before dying, I just want to ask one thing.”
Ji Xiuning said, “Speak.”
Sauron said, “Was Emperor Dragon imprisoned by you?”
Ji Xiuning said, “Perhaps so!”
“Understood!” Sauron nodded.
Ji Xiuning drew the Dragon Gold sword, then aimed the sword tip at Sauron’s forehead, lightly and slowly thrust it in!
When thrusting the treasured sword into Sauron’s brain, her breathtakingly beautiful, fairy-like face showed no change in expression. Her beautiful eyes were as calm as an ancient well.
Since stabbing the heart did not kill him, then stabbing the brain would certainly do so.
Human life lies in the brain.
Piercing the heart stops blood supply to the brain, which is why one dies.
But Sauron had the Demon Star within him, continuously sending energy to his brain. So even with his heart pierced, he still did not die.
And Ji Xiuning’s sword pierced through Sauron’s skull.
Sauron’s pupils rapidly dilated. His vitality was completely severed!
His eyes still did not close, dying with everlasting grievance!
Then, Ji Xiuning ordered indifferently, “Find a small boat, pile it with firewood, pour on oil, and burn Sauron’s corpse.”
“Yes!”
Several Sky Judges stepped forward, found a small boat from the giant ship, then chopped much dry firewood from the ship and piled it on this small boat.
Then, they placed Sauron’s corpse on the small boat piled with dry firewood and poured it full of oil.
Finally, they put the small boat onto the sea surface!
At this moment, the sea surface was blowing a north wind, so the small boat drifted southward.
Drifting farther and farther away!
Ji Xiuning took an exquisitely beautiful strong bow and lit an arrow on fire.
Taking a deep breath, she was about to draw the bow and nock the arrow.
But after a slight hesitation, she still handed the bow and arrow to Zhiyan and said, “You do it.”
Princess Zhiyan took the bow and arrow. By now, she had wiped away all her tears. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was completely calm.
Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, she aimed at the drifting small boat.
“Whoosh…”
Princess Zhiyan released the arrow.
The fire arrow traced an elegant arc through the air, embedding itself into Sauron’s corpse on the boat.
“Boom…”
Flames instantly ignited Sauron’s corpse, igniting all the dry firewood on the boat.
Everything was burning fiercely!
Sauron’s corpse, the entire small boat, were all burning fiercely!
The small boat ablaze with raging flames continued drifting southward, farther and farther away.
If Sauron were still alive at this moment, he would certainly recall Tu Lingduo’s words before her death.
Suon Hanyi, a mere servant, had risen to the position of Lord of Tianshui City. What a peak of life.
Yet after the peak, he directly fell into hell.
Yan Mo, merely a pirate king, had forced Prince Zhi Li of the Raging Waves Kingdom to compromise and retreat. A hundred thousand pirates surrounded Sauron, calling the wind and summoning the rain across the entire eastern sea, unifying the world under heaven. How glorious and brilliant a peak.
Yet after the peak, he directly fell into hell.
Prince Zhi Li, not a king but more than a king, commanded the heroes of the world, leading a million-strong army to surround and suppress Sauron. How glorious, how illustrious.
Yet after the peak, he too directly fell into hell.
Then, before her death, Tu Lingduo had her elder brother pass a message to Sauron. Who do you think will be next?
Sauron defeated Zhi Li, forced back the Hidden Continent, took control of the entire Raging Waves Kingdom, married the future queen, and countless nobles prostrated themselves before him.
How illustrious his fame was, truly flowers brocading brocade, oil boiling in fierce fire.
Yet in the end, he too fell from the supreme peak, crashing into the eighteenth level of hell.
Fu Lingxi suddenly said, “Sauron once burned over a hundred thousand people to death at sea. Today, this can be considered the cycle of cause and effect, retribution coming full circle.”
No one made a sound.
Huai Bingyi said, “Zhiyan, it is over. Your clan, your country, are safe.”
Ji Xiuning said, “Zhiyan, follow me back to the Sky Temple to report everything that happened today.”
“Yes.” Zhiyan said.
Then, Ji Xiuning said to everyone, “Finally, destroy this ill-omened ship.”
“Yes!”
Instantly, tens of thousands of the Dragon Temple’s aerial legion condensed powerful Dragon Power.
“Destroy!”
With Ji Xiuning’s command, Dragon Power erupted from the hands of tens of thousands of the Dragon Temple’s aerial legion.
“Boom!”
In an instant, this five-thousand-ton giant ship, this Noah’s Ark in Sauron’s heart, was completely shattered into pieces, turning to dust.
He had originally wanted to take his family, board this ship, and leave this world to search for a new continent.
Now, under the full-force strike of tens of thousands of people, it directly turned to powder.
Several hundred people on the ship also directly turned to dust!
The five-thousand-ton giant ship, along with several hundred sailors, turned to powder, scattering across the sea surface, then being swallowed by the seawater.
And the small boat carrying Sauron’s corpse turned into raging flames, continuously drifting southward, drifting.
Gradually, the flames consumed everything.
The entire boat turned to ashes, sinking into the sea.
“The Demon Emperor has been executed. All troops, return. Go!”
With Ji Xiuning’s command, tens of thousands of the Dragon Temple’s aerial legion flew away like clouds, leaving this sea area, flying toward the northwest.
Soon, this sea area was completely silent, as if nothing had ever happened!
…
And at the same time!
In the royal palace of Wangcheng Zhidu, King Zhi Bian, who had been in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Before, his eyes had been dim and lifeless. Now, they blazed with light.
A fear unprecedented in his life suddenly welled up in his gaze.
Then, his heart spasmed with pain.
King Zhi Bian desperately clutched his heart.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
“Ah…” A mouthful of blood arrow shot from the king’s mouth, a full three feet high.
His body also jerked upright violently.
A full three seconds later, the king’s withered body crashed down heavily, eyes wide open, completely breathless!
A generation of kings had thus fallen.
The grand eunuch Gao Yin, who had been guarding by his side, wailed mournfully, “His Majesty has passed! His Majesty has passed!”
Then, a grand and mournful bell tolled within the royal palace.
Everyone in the royal palace, all nobles in the royal city, changed into white mourning garments.
…
Eastern sea!
The instant Zhiyan pierced his skull, Sauron was completely breathless, his vitality completely severed!
Then, he was placed on a small boat and doused with oil.
A fire arrow ignited his corpse, ignited the small boat.
Instantly, raging flames completely engulfed and swept through the entire small boat, and Sauron’s corpse.
The dying Demon Star had no choice but to leave Sauron’s body.
But it had nowhere to go.
The remaining energy was enough for fighting, but insufficient to let it fly to find the next host.
Moreover, the so-called host was not something it could find just because it wanted to.
Its host was Sauron. This could not be changed.
And at this moment, the Dragon Flame Crystal that Sauron carried on his person, after being burned by the flames, began to glow, began to turn red!
The Demon Star transformed into a stream of energy and drilled fiercely into the Dragon Flame Crystal!
Then…
The entire Dragon Flame Crystal became even more red, finally turning completely the same colour as the flames.
And the entire crystal began to melt!
What was the Dragon Flame Crystal?
It was the Dragon Seal relic Sauron had found in the depths of the wilderness, in the Blood Shore Lost City.
This was originally a flame spewed out by the Dragon God. Over time, this flame solidified into a crystal!
This Dragon Flame had once supplied energy for an entire city of tens of millions.
Even in its final withering, it still boiled the entire Blood Sea.
What was the Blood Sea?
The Blood Shore Lost City was an ancient human civilisation nation, with a population of tens of millions, believing in the Dragon God.
In the end, the Demon Race army attacked this brilliant city, completely conquering it.
Countless humans were all massacred.
Countless streams of blood flowed into the lake at the city centre, so this lake became the Blood Sea.
Not only human blood. When the Demon Race army broke through this city, they had paid a tremendous price in casualties.
The blood of countless Demon Race soldiers also flowed into this Blood Sea.
And the Dragon Flame, about to wither, when falling into the Blood Sea, completely boiled the entire Blood Sea.
The Blood Sea, originally entirely thick blood, became clear lake water.
And the originally endless blood, whether human blood or Demon Race blood, was all boiled by the Dragon Flame.
Condensing from the boundless Blood Sea, in the end, only a tiny essence of less than five millilitres remained.
And this essence blood was no longer red, but golden yellow.
This strand of golden yellow blood was sealed within the Dragon Flame Crystal.
And now, the entire Dragon Flame Crystal began to melt, transforming back into a ball of flame.
The essence blood within, the golden blood, began to flow out.
Drop by drop, it flowed into Sauron’s completely charred corpse!
Seeping in bit by bit!
Immediately after, the entire small boat was completely burned and fell into the sea.
Sauron’s charred black corpse also fell into the sea, drifting with the current, pushed by the seawater, drifting southward.
Southward, southward, southward.
Continuously southward!
