Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1354: Chapter 541: The Emperor’s Heroic Sacrifice (Part 2)

Including the Execution Star Divine Crossbow.

However, these defensive killing devices like the Execution Star Divine Crossbow require time to activate. Only injecting Star Power for activation, it takes at least 100 breaths at the fastest.

Time!

The most lacking element now is time.

Thirty breaths have passed, for some unknown reason, Tianyang Star Hall’s reinforcements have not yet arrived!

"Why have the reinforcements from Star Hall not arrived?" The blood-soaked Da Hong Emperor bellowed in fury, his roar echoing not only through the Imperial Palace but resonating throughout Changle City.

In an instant, this question surfaced in the minds of the concerned Da Hong soldiers and civilians who were unable to join the battle.

Why haven’t the experts from Star Hall come to aid?

Tianyang Star Hall, worshiped by millions in Da Hong, why do their reinforcements not come at the critical moment?

Many astute nobles and commoners have already begun imagining and making associations.

In an instant, conspiracy theories were rampant throughout the Da Hong Imperial Capital Changle City.

Another ten breaths passed, the battling Da Hong Emperor was continuously injured and coughing up blood, while over a hundred Fifth Tier, Sixth Tier, and Seventh Tier Forbidden Army soldiers were already dead, with many more wounded.

"Quickly urge the Star Hall for help!" The Da Hong Emperor’s angry roars once again echoed throughout Changle City.

The Da Hong Emperor Yang Yun was held in high esteem by the people of Da Hong.

At this moment, as the Emperor repeatedly called for urgent help, in Changle City, numerous rangers, especially those above Fifth Tier, rushed towards the Imperial Palace, shouting angrily to join the battle, but were blocked by the palace’s array.

"Your Majesty, we must join the battle!"

"Your Majesty, we want to defend Da Hong!"

"Your Majesty, please allow us to fight..."

The brave rangers and loose cultivators requesting to join the battle quickly gathered in thousands from all directions, but most were Fourth Tier, Fifth Tier, Sixth Tier, with very few Seventh Tier.

"Defending Da Hong is everyone’s responsibility! Let them join the battle!" The Da Hong Emperor’s voice resounded.

In the next moment, these Da Hong loose cultivators charged into the Imperial Palace.

But the battle within the palace also became extremely intense in that instant.

An Eighth Tier alien, leading several Seventh Tier ones, broke through the blockade line and began to rampage among the Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier Forbidden Army, causing casualties to increase sharply in an instant.

The newly arrived loose cultivators bore the brunt, and with a flash of Starlight, dozens were cut in half.

For the Seventh and Eighth Tier experts, dealing with those below the Sixth Tier can no longer simply be described as crushing.

This scene made the Da Hong Emperor’s eyes nearly pop out.

"Why are the experts from Star Hall still not coming?" Amidst his angry roar, the Da Hong Emperor’s gaze turned to the Star Gate, where Seventh Tier aliens were continuously emerging, a resolute look suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"Even if I die today, I cannot allow the Eighth Tier alien army to rush into my Da Hong Changle City!"

With a roar, a starlight-bright armor appeared on the Da Hong Emperor’s body, and he once again activated the National Guardian Tao Artifact Flame Dragon Axe, completely ignoring the alien attacks, roaring as he rushed towards the Star Domain Gate in mid-air.

The National Guardian Tao Artifact Flame Dragon Axe has already struck the Star Domain Gate.

The Da Hong Emperor’s objective is also very clear.

It’s to forcefully destroy this Star Domain Gate, which not only could trap these aliens here but also forcibly close the Star Gate, preventing alien reinforcements from emerging.

The Eighth Tier Star Domain is truly terrifying!

Without reinforcements from Star Hall, relying solely on Changle City’s strength, coupled with the sudden attack, it’s truly unsustainable!

Just one axe strike led to cracks appearing in the Star Gate!

"Your Majesty, old servant comes to aid you!"

Amidst the screeching sound, Inner Court Grand Steward Wei Zhong, disregarding life and death, also rushed up, and the cracks in the Star Gate began to rapidly expand.

This scene made the Seventh and Eighth Tier aliens that emerged see it, and they were immediately terrified!

If the Star Gate is destroyed, their retreat will be cut off, and the ensuing situation will be a trapped battle, with none of them surviving.

Immediately, under the angry roar of the Eighth Tier alien, the aliens turned back and charged toward the Star Gate.

At the same time, three other Da Hong Eighth Tier experts also wanted to help the Da Hong Emperor but were blocked by the aliens.

In the blink of an eye, the Da Hong Emperor and Wei Zhong were besieged by the aliens.

"Even if I have to die, I must destroy this Star Gate."

With an angry roar, the Da Hong Emperor Yang Yun once again disregarded everything and struck out with another axe, allowing the Eighth Tier aliens’ attacks to fall on him.

The Star Gate cracked open with huge fissures, but the Da Hong Emperor also let out a muffled groan, as under the aliens’ full-scale attack, one of his legs was cut off.

"Your Majesty!"

A crowd of Forbidden Army and participating rangers saw this scene, their hearts almost bursting.

Their Emperor fighting in blood at the front, with a leg gone, yet they couldn’t rush forward to help!

Many valorous Da Hong men had their hearts almost broken, cursing themselves for being useless!

Cursing themselves for not having trained harder in the past!

After today, this spurred many young expert cultivators to practice diligently, but of course, that’s a story for later!

No one noticed that as the shattered leg flew out, it disappeared.

"Break for me!" The Da Hong Emperor roared, striking out with another axe.

Boom!

Starlight shot out, the Star Gate directly shattered half, but the price was another leg of the Da Hong Emperor flew out.

A crowd of aliens, startled, immediately turned back, and some cowardly aliens had already turned back to the Star Gate.

But many more were surrounding the Da Hong Emperor, and if it weren’t for Wei Zhong, this Eighth Tier expert, desperately protecting him, and if the armor on the Da Hong Emperor wasn’t extremely miraculous, by now, the Da Hong Emperor would have already fallen!

"Why is the Star Hall still not coming?"

With a severed arm, the Da Hong Emperor wailed again, wielding the Flame Dragon Axe of the National Guardian Tao Artifact with one arm, slicing towards the Star Gate of the Eighth Tier Star Domain.
