Chapter 1349: I Will Remember, No More Friends (Third Update)

The blood-red light was reflected in my eyes.

It was accompanied by countless corpses.

Those were the corpses of the ten thousand races!

After recovering my cultivation, I started a massacre in my madness.

It's just that… my enemies are boundless.

At this moment, I was standing in the ruins of the Violet and Cyan Kingdom, allowing the sticky blood to splatter on my face. The stench of rust almost clogged my nose.

Every time I took a deep breath, I would feel a sharp pain in the depths of my lungs. However, the flame in my chest that had been extinguished for a long time was weakly but stubbornly burning once more.

"Your Highness… My condolences!"

"However, we can't continue to stay here. Bai Xiaozhuo is in Sea-Sealing County. He can be Your Highness's place." A hoarse shout tore through the thick stench of blood.

It was Old Luo, the leader of my personal guards.

His wrinkled face was stained with the blood of either his own or his enemies. His left arm hung limply by his side. It was obvious that the bone in his left arm was broken.

A chipped war blade hung on his remaining right arm. Dark red blood droplets were still dripping from the blade.

Behind him, there were dozens of figures. All of them were injured and they staggered as though they had just crawled out from a pool of blood.

Their armor was shattered and their robes were soaked in blood. They stuck close to their bodies, outlining their fatigued silhouettes. However, their gazes were like quenched blades that pierced past my shoulders and stared at the ominous sky behind me.

That was another wave of stench from the ten thousand races. It was coming closer and closer.

Looking at the approaching stench, my gaze fell on the ruins where my family was buried. In the end … I looked at the personal guards beside me.

"Follow me to the Southern Phoenix Continent!

Mirrorcloud will activate the Great Region Teleportation there and link up with Sea-Sealing County and other places. He will be there when the time comes. "

"Human Emperor Mirrorcloud!"

This name was like a silent thunderbolt that instantly split apart the haze of death that shrouded me.

Dozens of pairs of eyes lit up. That wasn't joy but the crazed desire to survive like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood.

The Southern Phoenix Continent was the escape route that Mirrorcloud and I had agreed on!

Mirrorcloud is the only friend I have in my life. He once swore with me that we would give our all to revitalize the human race!

Even though the myriad races were too powerful right now and the army under his command couldn't rush to their aid openly, he had already set up a teleportation formation in a hidden corner of the Southern Phoenix Continent that led directly to the human race!

I believe in him!

It was as if he believed in his own heartbeat.

This trust had been tempered by time and the flames of war, and it had long since become stronger than pure gold.

I understood his constraints. I understood that as the Human Emperor, he shouldered the heavy burden of the survival of the human race.

One in the South and the other in the North, each guarding a corner. We are like two pillars that support the dome of the human race. We are burning and responding to each other.

The secret teleportation array is our promise to cross thousands of rivers and mountains. It is the only coordinate that points to a chance of survival in the darkness. Apart from us, no one else knows about it!

"Go!"

I took a deep breath and spoke. My voice was filled with unquestionable decisiveness. I turned into a dim stream of light and headed south.

Old Luo and his remaining subordinates burst forth with the last of their strength and followed closely behind.

They tore through the air and tore through the air that was filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh. They were like dozens of arrows that shot towards a chance of survival.

Behind me, the cries and terrifying energy fluctuations of the troops were like maggots that chased after one another. The ground shook under their violent pursuit.

I charged forward, dying the path red. I crossed the Forbidden Ocean and stepped into the Southern Phoenix Continent.

Each time I stopped for a short while, it meant that a few more familiar people fell in the bloody battle and were swallowed by the rumbling tide of death behind me.

However, at dusk, the Peerless Plains at the end of my vision finally appeared in Southern Phoenix Continent. The flames of hope lit up in my chest.

A bone-chilling warning that I had never felt before pierced into my sea of consciousness without any warning, like the most poisonous icicle!

"Stop!"

I forcefully stopped in midair. Almost at the same time, the seemingly calm space in front of me twisted and tore apart!

Shocking roars tore apart the silence of the dusk.

Space was ripped apart by invisible claws. Hundreds of giant figures that gave off a vicious aura descended!

The leader was close to thirty feet tall and was covered in a black shell. Sharp bone spikes protruded from his joints. His head was long and narrow and his compound eyes shone with a cruel red light.

It was the Space Splitting Bug Race Emperor that was famous for being vicious and cunning!

Beside him, a giant made of rough rocks with lava flowing all over stepped on the ground. The ground instantly cracked and lava flowed everywhere. It was the Lava Giant Race Emperor!

Further away, more figures covered in twisted light appeared one by one. They gave off a soul-shaking aura that surrounded this place.

Their auras were like physical chains that locked the space behind me.

The cold killing intent was even more bone-chilling than the autumn night wind that blew from the depths of Southern Phoenix Continent.

"Prince Zi Qing, your path ends here."

The Space Splitting Bug Race Emperor's ear-piercing mental ripples smashed into my mind. He didn't hide his greed and mockery.

My path of retreat was cut off and my pursuers were about to arrive!

This was a hopeless situation!

"Formation!"

Old Luo's roar was filled with blood. He took a step forward and used his remaining right arm to hold his blade in front of his chest.

The dozen remaining troops didn't hesitate at all. They instinctively formed an incomplete but determined battle formation and surrounded me in the center.

There was no fear in their eyes. There was only crazed fighting spirit that burned to the extreme. They were like torches that were about to burn out and explode with their last light and heat.

I looked at all of this. My gaze passed through the vicious figures of the experts of the ten thousand races and looked at the plains.

This was the place that Mirrorcloud and I had agreed on!

This was where the secret teleportation portal was located.

But why… why were the experts of the myriad races waiting here so precisely …?

"Mirrorcloud …" I felt bitter and unwilling to believe it. Under the mocking gazes of the experts of the ten thousand races, I took out a warm jade pendant.

This was something that Mirrorcloud had given me personally. It contained a shred of his origin energy and was the key to opening the teleportation formation.

As long as I stepped onto Peerless Plains and opened it, I would be able to open the teleportation formation.

I didn't hesitate and poured my spiritual power into it!

Weng!

The jade pendant suddenly lit up!

A weak blue thread of light rose from the jade pendant like a life-saving spider web. It tried to connect to the teleportation formation hidden in the ground.

But right at this moment … the thread of light only flashed for an instant before flickering violently like a candle in the wind. Then it quickly dimmed!

The origin energy of Mirrorcloud that I was extremely familiar with within the jade pendant quickly dissipated and disappeared!

Just like my heart.

"You can continue to try and see if Mirrorcloud of the human race can open the teleportation formation."

A voice came from among the experts of the other races.

"Prince Zi Qing, you … have been abandoned. Or rather, your friend… might want you to die more than us!"

The light of the jade pendant was completely extinguished. It became cold and grey like an ordinary stone.

The thread of light that connected to the north was completely cut off.

It wasn't because of external interference. Instead… it was closed unilaterally from the other side. The control of the formation was taken over by the ten thousand races.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

My subordinates panted heavily behind me, the experts of the ten thousand races laughed viciously, the silhouette of Peerless Plains… everything became blurry and distant.

Only the pain of my heart being clenched and crushed by an invisible hand was so clear and real that it engulfed my entire body.

"… Haha… Hahaha …"

A bitter laugh came out of my throat uncontrollably. It was dry, hoarse, and had the thick taste of blood.

My laughter grew louder and louder, echoing in the silent wilderness.

I looked up. My gaze seemed to penetrate through the mountains and rivers to look in the direction of Mirrorcloud, the human race's heartland.

Mirrorcloud…

My only friend in this life…

If there is an afterlife, I will remember that I have no more friends!

My laughter grew louder.

At this moment, the experts of the ten thousand races raised their hands and opened the teleportation formation on Peerless Plains. As the light shone, countless members of the other races were teleported out!

Suddenly, a violent energy torrent tore through the air, as if it was capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas.

Old Luo's roar was filled with the determination to die. He was the first to charge at the destructive current!

The remaining subordinates were like moths to a flame. They exploded with the last light of their lives and charged at the undefeatable enemy.

As for me, my smile was replaced by cold killing intent.

The path ahead was death. The path behind was also death.

Then… let's fight!

The cultivation in my body rose once more, and I no longer held back and completely erupted!

Dim purple flames instantly soared into the sky, like a dying star bursting forth with its final brilliance!

It turned into a burning bolt of purple lightning and crashed into the center of the destructive current!

Peerless Plains instantly turned into a meat grinder!
