The banners fluttered, murderous intent surged!

The ten thousand strong Cang Family force, like a dark dragon, spanned across the skies of the Desolate Star.

Among them, there were over a hundred young Celestial Prides from the Cang Family, as well as the Cang Family's Saint Kings and Great Saint powerhouses.

This force, to an Immortal Influence, might not mean much.

But to the now declining Great Wilderness Village and the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, it was undeniably a force of destruction.

On the side of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, the Martial Guardian looked up at the sky, gazing at the overwhelming army of ten thousand approaching.

In his cloudy eyes, there was nothing but calm indifference.

No trepidation, no fear.

Perhaps the word "fear" never existed in the lexicon of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

"Those are the Cang Family people!"

The other villagers of the Great Wilderness also noticed the mighty army approaching in the sky.

War intent blazed like wildfire, killing intent filled the heavens!

"What's going on? Is the Cang Family going for a final battle?"

"Do they truly intend to destroy our Great Wilderness Village?"

Some villagers of the Great Wilderness clenched their fists tightly, a ferocity of desperation visible in their eyes.

Having reached this point, the Cang Family still refuses to spare them!

"All of you, retreat behind me!" the Martial Guardian shouted.

Nearly a thousand villagers involuntarily retreated into the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

The north wind howled, the yellow sand swept fiercely.

The Martial Guardian stood alone, before the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

His appearance was ordinary, with unkempt stubble, disheveled black hair, wearing simple and worn-out gray clothes.

He appeared just like an unfortunate middle-aged cultivator adrift in the mortal world.

Both his hands and feet were shackled, with chains piercing his pipa bones.

On his back, there was a stele set by a former adversary with an Overlord Body, meant to humiliate him.

One might say, if his identity was unknown, no one would ever believe he was a Holy Body.

"I am the disgrace of the Holy Body Lineage, now, let me shine with my last bit of light and heat…" the Martial Guardian muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the Cang Family force finally arrived, ten thousand stood above the heavens, like celestial soldiers and generals.

In contrast, only the Martial Guardian stood alone, steadfast like a monument.

"Defeated one, where is Jun Xiaoyao?" an elderly figure stepped out from the Cang Family ranks, speaking coldly.

He was the Fifth Elder of the Cang Family, a Great Saint Realm powerhouse.

He addressed not the Martial Guardian, but rather as the defeated one.

The Martial Guardian remained silent.

"Haha, just a captive defeated by a predecessor with an Overlord Body, and he still dares to act like this?" the Cang Family Sixth Elder sneered.

"Today, I shall have no more patience, retreat, or... fight!" the Martial Guardian's tone was cold.

At this stage, there was no room for reconciliation.

Previously, the Martial Guardian endured for the Great Wilderness Village, for Ning Chen and his sister, to preserve a spark of hope.

But now, with Jun Xiaoyao present, the Holy Body Lineage would naturally not decline.

He no longer needed to endure anything.

"You have quite the backbone, aren't you afraid we'll slaughter these villagers of the Great Wilderness?" the Cang Family Fifth Elder sneered.

"Defeated one, step aside now, let us into the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall to investigate, and my Cang Family can spare you like a dog," the Cang Family Sixth Elder said nonchalantly.

The Martial Guardian's pupils shone with cold electricity, killing intent penetrating the bone.

With a wave of his hand, a line was drawn before the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

"Anyone who crosses this line, dies!"

The word "die" stirred the winds and clouds, the world changed color.

Killing intent like cold wind pierced to the bone!

"Audacious, a mere defeated one dares to threaten like this, kill him!" the Cang Family Fifth Elder no longer hesitated and waved his hand, the Cang Family's ten thousand troops shouted in unison.

The sound shook the heavens and the earth!

A great battle commenced.

Countless figures rushed towards the lone Martial Guardian.

The weakest among this ten thousand army were Celestial God Realm.

There were quite a few Dao God Realm and Quasi-Saint Realm cultivators too.

Individually, they might not be very strong.

But all together, their destructive power was enough to shake the heavens and the earth, even a Great Saint would feel a tingle in their scalp.

The Martial Guardian also made his move, but due to the chains around him, his movements were confined to the area around the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

He punched out, his mighty life force surging, transforming into a golden dragon crossing the skies.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, the sound of bones shattering echoed out.

Over a hundred Cang Family soldiers' bodies directly exploded, turning into blood residue.

This level of combat power made some people's eyelids twitch.

"Damn it, this Holy Body is truly uncanny, even after taking so much sacred body essence blood, he's still so vigorous." the Cang Family Sixth Elder muttered.

"No worries, this is just the struggle of a trapped beast, besides, don't forget, we brought that item," the Cang Family Fifth Elder was unfazed.

In his eyes, this was just an entertaining massacre.

And by now, countless cultivators from afar were gathering to watch.

Across the Desolate Star, thousands of cultivators converged from afar to observe the battle.

There were also the Ancient Road Celestial Prides from the Star Sky Ancient City, like Ji Qingyi, Saint Profound Yi, and Ruying, who had come to witness this battle.

"Is that also a Holy Body? But why does it seem so miserable?" Ruying's bright eyes narrowed in curiosity.

In her conception, even if the Holy Body Lineage had declined, it shouldn't be reduced to this state, right?

"Jun Xiaoyao, where are you?" Ji Qingyi's clear eyes glanced around but did not see the figure of Jun Xiaoyao.

Logically, as a fellow Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, with Jun Xiaoyao's personality, he wouldn't be indifferent.

This also puzzled the other Ancient Road Celestial Prides. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Why isn't the Jun Family's Divine Son here? If he were, the situation wouldn't be like this."

"Could it be that he was intimidated?"

"Impossible, the Jun Family's Divine Son's dominance is well known, he wouldn't fear a mere Cang Family."

"Then why isn't he showing up now?"

"He might have something else going on."

Many proud cultivators were discussing.

Over here, the Cang Family soldiers had also wisened up.

The Martial Guardian could only move within the range of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall; even if he displayed techniques, the range wouldn't be very large.

They just needed to release divine techniques from the outside to drain his strength.

This method, although not honorable, was indeed practical.

As time passed, the vigorous life force within the Martial Guardian began to weaken.

He originally didn't have much life force, most of his sacred body essence blood had been taken by the Cang Family.

The remaining small portion had imperceptibly integrated into Ning Chen and Xiaoxuanxuan.

One could say, the Martial Guardian was now squeezing every last drop of sacred body essence blood from his body, burning his last bit of strength.

"Let's not delay anymore, use that technique," said the Cang Family Sixth Elder.

The Cang Family Fifth Elder nodded slightly, took out a talisman stone, and infused it with mana.

In an instant, the stele carried by the Martial Guardian's back trembled violently.

The words "Dominating the Universe, Supremely Overbearing" on it erupted with blinding radiance.

A terrifying force of suppression and gravity dropped instantly.

Pfft!

Almost instantly, the Martial Guardian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body half-kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Martial Guardian!"

Inside the Sacred Hall, Ning Chen, Xiaoxuanxuan, Ning Defa, and all the villagers of the Great Wilderness cried out in alarm.

"Kill him!"

The Cang Family Fifth Elder waved his hand.

A host of Great Saints and Saint King level elders from the Cang Family made their move.

They intended to annihilate this tragic last Holy Body!
