Chapter 757 - Path of Radiance (1/2)
Now that they were submerged in death aura, their consciousness had already started dissipating and they were no longer able to control that formidable power, causing it to release all at once.
In the sky, fierce clouds converged over several kilometers, and when all the power below had spurted out, the three vortexes instantly transformed into a shockwave sweeping the sky. They simply couldn't see how far that shockwave spread.
The terrifying aura of death spread around the three Heaven Rank powerhouses' bodies. The thick aura of death transformed into a black, ashen cloud that surrounded the place.
Everything within a kilometer was reduced to ashes. The vegetation, the buildings, and even stones... Everything was shattered in a split second, as if they were dying together.
Then, all the clouds started collapsing towards the center before disappearing, along with the corpses of the three Heaven Rank powerhouses.
In the sky, a faint ray of light scattered into a rain of light that slowly dispersed. Everywhere it touched, vegetation drilled out of the ground and instantly turned into high trees reaching the sky.
Several kilometers of deathly stillness quickly regained its vitality due to that rain of light, and a dozen Ancient War Trees' saplings quickly grew after being doused. From being less than a meter tall, they quickly reached as far as a hundred meters up.
As for the Dark Elves riddled with scars, their injuries slowly recovered after bathing in that light. Even some with damaged limbs or other serious injuries quickly recovered.
The only traces of what had happened were where the three Heaven Rank powerhouses had been. That place was still filled with death aura and no vitality.
”No…”
The 2nd Elder knelt on the ground in despair.
In the Dark Elven Clan, regardless of what they were doing, all Dark Elves knelt and let out mournful howls, even those on their deathbeds. Those who had just recovered from their injuries didn't feel happy, they were all wailing from grief.
”Great Elder… Aaahh!”
”Oh, how could it be like that, impossible! This must be fake…”
On the other side, the Flame Dragon Warlord's eyes turned red as he slowly knelt on one knee and made a fist before fiercely thumping it against his chest. ”Tribal Chief, I shall vow on the honor of the Ash Beastmen. As long as I'm alive, I definitely won't let the Ash Beastmen decline.”
In the distance, the Ash Beastmen got off their mounts and took off their helmets before kneeling on one knee with a sorrowful aura.
After some time, the Flame Dragon Warlord stood up and let out a loud roar: ”The blood of Ash Beastmen shall never stop burning!”
The Ash Beastman army all stood up and they each made a fist with their right hand before ruthlessly hammering their own chest and shouting towards the domed sky, ”The blood of Ash Beastmen shall never stop burning!”
As for the Firerock Dwarves, they had the least amount of people there, but a few of Harris' trusted aides were present and weeping miserably.
”Clan Head, rest assured, I'll experiment with all the materials you never got to use!”
”Clan Head, I swear on my family name that I will definitely make the skill of the Firerock Dwarves resound throughout Noscent.”
...
The entire place was filled with sorrow, and even the wails of the Wyverns and the Hippogryphs kept echoing throughout the Dark Elven Clan.
Lin Yun stood there in a daze and looked at the place where the three Heaven Rank powerhouses fell, before slowly bowing.
”Worthy of admiration.”
They obviously managed to de-escalate the situation, but they also still thought of their races' inheritance and future, so they used their power to force themselves to stay.
After death, they also brought out their most powerful burst of energy to complete their last task as leaders.
They turned their flesh and power into a rain of light that gave the races the opportunity to recover, allowing the wounded to return to normal.
They were worthy of respect, worthy of their clansmen's love, support, and admiration.
The sorrow and sadness continued, but the 2nd Elder and the Flame Dragon Warlord forcibly roused their spirits and went to pay respects to Lin Yun.
”Master.”
”Master.”
Lin Yun sighed and waved his arm. ”Appease your clansmen for now, we can talk about the rest later.”
After the 2nd Elder and the Flame Dragon Warlord left, they immediately announced the final wishes of their respective leaders and didn't leave out anything.
Soon, the Flame Dragon Warlord and the 2nd Elder led their clansmen to pay respects.
”Paying respects to Master…”
