Chapter 772 - 387: Dawn

Chapter 772: Chapter 387: Dawn

The battlefield.

The Giant Dragons and Undead warhorses roared, the powerful Divine Abominations bellowing.

On the land of the Federation, everything was shattering.

The bloodshed, wails, and prayers intertwined into one.

The flames that set the sky on fire were still wildly blazing.

A Flame Giant suppressed a God beneath itself, swinging its fists madly, and for a moment, the body of the Divine Abomination began to break.

"Roar~"

The Divine Abomination, as if made of a pile of rotten flesh, let out an ear-piercing bellow, its Sanity Value rapidly decreasing.

Giant Beasts grappling, Rules clashing.

The Sanity Value in Baker’s eyes also decreased, and a faint blue Energy began to escape from him. It was too difficult for a Tier Six Legendary to release a full-power Forbidden Curse for a long time.

However, the stubbornness and madness in his eyes were shocking.

Baker, not yet forty, was a Legendary who had an extraordinary Flame Affinity since childhood. At ten, he entered a Small World, in seclusion for over a decade, emerging to defeat the SSS-level Baker of the Lotte Clan.

But then he lost to Baiyi; that was his first defeat.

After that, he trained even harder, rising from Level 65 to 86 in ten years.

He wanted to reclaim his dignity, so he disregarded the Federation’s orders and returned to the Federation at this perilous time.

He wanted to prove he was not inferior to Baiyi, that the loss was just an accident.

But...

At this moment, he realized the Gods were so strong...

Even if the Divine Abominations were irrational and incomplete gods, they were still... so strong...

Bang!

The Flame Giant was blasted away by a twisted surge of Energy, and the Flame Rules began to dissipate.

His expression was somewhat dazed, not quite grasping the current situation. Wasn’t it a draw, or... did he have a slight edge?

A faint weakness crept in, and Baker felt a drain in his Magic Power.

It seemed... he couldn’t hold on much longer.

Bang!

He crashed heavily to the ground, watching a massive disc approach in the sky.

Boom boom boom...

The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer.

Baker felt the exhaustion in his body and couldn’t help but mutter, "Are you up there? Perhaps you’re more exceptional, but... I’m not worse than anyone else..."

He recalled the constant cultivation over the years, the many life-and-death scenarios...

A wave of overwhelming unwillingness surged in him.

Why, when he was once the brightest star?

Now lying here in disgrace, overshadowed by that person, waiting for death in humiliation.

Boom boom boom....

The shattered earth began to quake, and the monster that seemed sewn together lifted its enormous foot.

Buzz~

Suddenly, an aura of the Undead emerged, a Divine Level gray radiance instantly enveloping the Divine Abomination.

A force that made nature itself change color instantly caused that Divine Abomination’s aura to plummet.

The entire Divine Abomination was fiercely repelled, dust rising, leaving only a deep trench on the ground, flung a vast distance away.

"Are you alright?"

A solemn female voice emerged.

Buzz~

The brief words stopped Baker’s thoughts coldly.

In his vision, at the end of his sight, the massive disc, the battlefields shrouded in dust and chaotic Rules, and that voice formed a picture.

Boom!

The Flame Rules began swiftly gathering.

In the sky, even the Sword Intent about to awaken dimmed at this moment.

Including those hidden, eight Ancient Gods in total, two killed by Baiyi, two tricked by Baiyi now missing.

The God who escaped had just returned angrily to Dawn, ready for a massacre, when they all turned their gaze here.

In their eyes was confusion because... they seemed to feel a momentary threat; this... how could it be?

"What did you do?"

The Divine Abomination, just defeated and about to charge again, halted, looking at this side warily and madly.

Diane frowned at Baker; she was out of Divine Power, communicating with God, but this Baker....

"I...."

Baker’s muttering suddenly ceased, as the surrounding temperature rapidly increased.

But just then.

The ancient Sword Intent fully awakened.

Clang~

A sword chime didn’t strike at the Divine Abomination or God but pierced the red-eyed young Celestial Spirit.

Boom!

The Flame Rules all collapsed at this moment, the vast Elemental Power converging and pouring into Baker’s body.

In merely an instant, Baker closed his eyes and lost consciousness, his appearance rapidly aging, as if he were washed by time at this moment, transforming from a youth to middle-aged, even greying at the temples.

Clang~

A sword chime rang out.

An old man, accompanied by a middle-aged man, approached Diane.

Luo Men quickly stepped forward, catching the collapsing Baker.

He felt Baker’s body, which had burned its primordial Life Force, leading to extreme weakness, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Diane suddenly turned, exhaling a breath of relief, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Grandpa Sword Saint..."

She didn’t know why she suddenly felt so wronged, her eyes moistening.

This clearly wasn’t her character, but at this moment, she couldn’t hold back.

Like a lone soldier on the battlefield suddenly seeing reinforcements, or a bullied child seeing their parent.

The Sword Saint’s sharp gaze softened, patting Diane’s head just like twenty years ago: "I’m late, you’ve done well."

Diane bowed her head, fiercely suppressing her inexplicable emotions: "Not late, just..."
