Chapter 5697: No Turning Back
Contrary to their expectation, an assault against Celestial Court’s armies didn’t happen.
“Activate!” Luminous gathered all of his power. His imperial flames surged and engulfed Dao Domain.
The world trembled before his might as he tried to pull Momentous Star away. He roared and channeled all of his power.
Alas, it was one with Momentous Dao and Momentous Frontier, making this a futile endeavor. In other words, he could control the star but couldn’t bring it with him.
“Again!” His primordial dao fruit became resplendent; his anima tree could be seen.
It released an ocean of might, enough to suppress all of Dao City in the absence of Celestial Court’s prison.
“Boom!” The laws emanating from his tree and dao fruit reached the limit. Alas, the star was still caught within Momentous Frontier.
It appeared that no existence or external force could ever take it away from this region. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
“Wha-what is he doing?” The survivors became frightened, not only due to Luminous’ matchless aura but also his intent on taking Momentous Star away.
“Momentous Frontier is helping us, we can’t take their immortal weapon.” A big shot murmured in a daze.
“No, Luminous Conqueror is only using it to destroy Celestial Court.” An expert defended him, albeit with a tone lacking confidence.
“It’s over... everyone died for nothing...” An ancient ancestor understood the problem and lamented.
Luminous and West Bank had conspired with Celestial Court and willingly sacrificed everyone in Dao City.
“It is the end of Dao City.” They finally felt true despair after seeing the betrayal.
The situation was dire, borderline hopeless. Nonetheless, they prayed for the duo’s survival and after all, Imperial Field was still around. Little did they know that the duo turned out to be the spark of it all.
They prayed for the duo earlier since that was all they could do. Now, these two pushed them down the abyss, crushing their faith.
“Everyone died for nothing, nothing...” The ones wailing the most were members of West Bank.
Their beloved prime emperor - the greatest in their heart - was the cause of their clan’s demise.
“You are unworthy, a true disgrace!” A disciple shouted until he vomited blood.
“Luminous, your light is nauseating! You’re not one of us!” An inhabitant of Dao City bellowed in fury.
“Save your breath.” An ancestor said: “We are mere insects in their eyes, just pawns.”
“Damn them!” A disciple from an imperial lineage cursed: “Our conquerors died for nothing.”
Luminous and West Bank only glared at them, not bothering to respond.
“Let us begin with the plan.” Luminous told War.
“Don’t worry, the dao limit path is yours, we will keep our promise.” War said.
“Start then.” West Bank glanced at his clan one last time. Alas, there was no turning back after taking this step.
