Chapter 527: Advancing to Legendary!
Chapter 527: Advancing to Legendary!
Fifteen minutes later, in the stratosphere.
Jun Shiyi, enveloped in a radiant golden glow, approached the cluster of nuclear missiles, which were now less than 20 kilometers away. The golden light emanating from his body was a result of the divine spell "Life Force Burn." Each pulse of this golden light represented a portion of his life being consumed.
As he watched the missiles hurtling toward him from the distance, a serene smile unexpectedly appeared on his lips.
The closer he got to death, the less he feared it.
He murmured to himself, "More than 600 years ago, on the day Constantinople fell, I should have died. I never imagined I would live on in a daze until now. But at least I can do something meaningful for humanity."
Jun Shiyi spread his arms wide, as if embracing a beloved, and flew toward the cluster of missiles. At the same time, he forcefully activated the divine spell "Mass Teleportation." An endless stream of golden energy materialized before him, quickly forming the ethereal image of a golden cathedral—the Hagia Sophia.
Tao Qian, who was flying more slowly, was now about 3 kilometers behind Jun Shiyi. He realized he had wronged Jun Shiyi, but it was too late. No matter what he did, he could not save Jun Shiyi's life.
"Brother Jun Shiyi, I wronged you. I truly don't know how to face you now. Since things have come to this, I am willing to give my life to atone for yours, whether you choose to forgive me or not."
Tao Qian, having said this, pushed his magical power to its limit. His physical body exploded under the immense force of his magic, releasing countless deep purple energy strands that instantly gathered around Jun Shiyi, ready for his control.
"It's alright, Brother Tao Qian. I never blamed anyone. Perhaps this is just my fate," Jun Shiyi said calmly, infusing his own energy and the deep purple energy from Tao Qian's sacrifice into the Hagia Sophia.
The roof of the cathedral's ethereal image burst forth with an intensely brilliant golden-purple light, causing the surrounding space to warp and distort as if it were being stretched into an unknown dimension.
At the Scrull military base on Mount Elbert, Lieutenant Jenevieve stared in disbelief at the surveillance screen. A human from Earth was burning his life force to intercept a cluster of nuclear missiles. What was he trying to do? Could he possibly withstand them?
Five hundred missiles detonating simultaneously would be nearly impossible for even a god-tier powerhouse to endure.
Just as she was filled with doubt, something incredibly astonishing happened! The golden-purple ethereal cathedral in the human's hand rapidly expanded, growing to cover an area of over 100 square kilometers in just three seconds—about the size of half of the Inner Ring of the Chinese Imperial Capital.
The cathedral's ethereal form spanned the heavens and earth, instantly enveloping all 500 missiles.
Although these 500 missiles were launched from different sites, they were timed to arrive simultaneously to maximize their destructive impact, giving Jun Shiyi the opportunity to release the cathedral's ethereal form and cover them all.
"Constantinople shall never fall! The Roman Empire shall forever shine!"
With Jun Shiyi's cry, the golden-purple light flickered, and the cathedral's ethereal form, along with the 500 missiles, vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Jenevieve's mouth gaped open in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Could a single person really teleport such a massive amount of kinetic energy?
This must be the power of a godlike being. How did this human manage to possess such might?
But she soon understood.
This human must have overdrawn all of his life force and power to create such a grand miracle.
500 nuclear warheads, successfully diverted to outer space!
……
The moment the church's ethereal shadow vanished, Jun Shiyi's body exploded into a cloud of blood, scattering across the pristine clouds.
Thus, the glorious lives of Jun Shiyi and Senior Tao came to an end.
The 500 nuclear warheads detonated deep in outer space, no longer posing any threat to humanity.
"Did this attack just fail?" Jenny stared blankly at the screen, taking a deep breath.
She never expected that Earth would have such a practitioner willing to sacrifice everything for Su Yu. If Earth's cultivators continued to come forward to save Su Yu one after another, she would be at a loss.
Jenny patted her head with her palm and quickly sent the news of the mission's failure and the footage of Jun Shiyi intercepting the nuclear warheads to Emperor Majesty and Commander Lance.
She never imagined the mission would fail in such a manner.
Beside the seawater palace, the great cultivators who had been constructing the defensive barrier simultaneously stopped their work, each offering their own form of mourning for Fellow Daoist Jun Shiyi and Fellow Daoist Tao Qian.
In this incident, no one could be said to have done anything wrong.
Fellow Daoist Jun Shiyi certainly did nothing wrong; after all, he never betrayed humanity.
Fellow Daoist Tao Qian was also not at fault. Each of his suspicions was within reason. Whether it was Jun Shiyi staying to guard Su Yu or the unique prophetic abilities that only Su Yu possessed on Earth, everything was indeed quite peculiar. A bit of suspicion was only natural.
The great cultivators of China were also not at fault. At such a critical moment, they could not possibly invite a potential traitor to join them in building the defense. Moreover, Emperor Tai Zong did not outright accuse them of being traitors but merely asked them to leave.
Everyone did nothing wrong, yet the tragic outcome still unfolded—Jun Shiyi died to prove his innocence, and Fellow Daoist Tao Qian also perished.
While it seemed that Earth's cultivators had successfully blocked the nuclear attack, and Su Yu's breakthrough was not interrupted, they had still lost.
Two minutes later, the seawater palace where Su Yu was rapidly shrank and vanished in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a brilliant azure figure, like a lustrous sapphire, appeared directly above the seawater palace.
Unstoppable magical power overflowed from his body, causing a resonance that affected the space within several kilometers. Every spatial element within the area vibrated in tune with his frequency.
This figure, of course, was Su Yu, who had just broken through to Level 80.
In truth, Su Yu's breakthrough was quite forced. According to his original plan, he intended to accumulate more power for two more hours before breaking through, ensuring a 100% success rate.
However, while he was focused on his breakthrough, he vaguely sensed the significant changes in the outside world. The negative emotions of the over a dozen great cultivators guarding outside—tension, reluctance, helplessness, and despair—especially affected him.
These negative emotions constantly reminded Su Yu: Break through quickly! Everyone outside needs you!
Thus, Su Yu gathered all his attention and concentrated the greatest force he could muster, smashing through the legendary bottleneck.
The legendary bottleneck was like a bullet piercing through a thick wooden board, barely penetrating. Su Yu successfully ascended to the legendary realm!
