nThe Dragon Emperor felt pressured as beasts from all around the battlefield started targeting him with attacks that were too strong for him to ignore.

nThey were thankfully far away that he could dodge the attacks instead of having to deal with all of them, but to dodge everything was all but impossible.

nSo, he had to constantly fight back other attacks while fighting against Yan Yating at the same time. He started worrying a little that if he didn’t focus in the battle enough, he would take a hit from a stray Immortal attack and instantly die.

nThankfully, due to having been an alchemist for thousands and thousands of years, the Dragon Emperor had learned ages ago to split his concentration into multiple things at once.

nFocusing on everything at the same time was difficult, but not impossible due to that.

nThe Dragon Emperor pulled out a talisman from his storage ring and threw it to his left. A glow of energy burst out from the talisman, instantly forming a shield next to him that could protect him from either 2 or 3 Immortal attacks.

nOn the other side, he applied his Dao of Space Expansion to expand space to the point that the attacks simply didn’t land on him as they were meant to.

nHe then created a cage of lightning around him on the left side, protecting him from the attacks from that very side.

nFinally, he sent out a burst of lightning attacks that split into many smaller tendrils of lightning bolts that struck almost all of the remaining attacks that came for him, including the one that Yan Yating used on him.

nTwo attacks landed on the shield formed from the talisman and was destroyed. The Emperor immediately replaced it with something else to protect himself.

nHe didn’t have many treasures to protect himself from Immortal attacks. The strongest one he did have, he had used it already to protect himself against the attack from the Immortal in the Central Continent.

nNow, he was running out of it all.

n‘If things continue like this, I will lose,’ the Dragon Emperor realized and the truth of his impending doom became real to him for the first time.

nHatred filled him at that very moment. ‘It’s alright,’ he thought. ‘I just have to kill them all.’

nThe many blood beasts flew back to Alex. Of the 300 that he had sent out, only 130 had returned. Most of the beasts ended up dying in the battle due to their lack of versatility when it came to fighting.

nThe one that he was saddened the most to see die had been the blood beast formed of the great 6 winged feathered Wyrm, which he had killed on his first journey to the Eastern Continent.

nYao Ning had been the one that had weakened the beast and he had killed it. As a beast in Saint Transformation’s 5th realm, it had been one of the strongest Blood Beasts he had, and now they were no more.

nThe blood beasts flew into his Blood God’s Manual, disappearing under the eyes of everyone that surrounded him.

nZhou Linfan looked at it with curious eyes. “I hope you can someday teach me how to use those things too,” he said.

nAlex smiled. “I’ll have to see if it is possible or not,” he said. “If it is, I don’t mind aiding you a little in it.”

nZhou Linfan smiled. The conversation helped him get his head out of the thoughts that he was most likely going to die in a few minutes.

nHe did not want to think about that.

nPearl stood next to Alex, the black jaguar standing some distance away, completely void of Immortal Qi. They stared at the battle just the same as the rest of the people around them.

n“He’s under pressure,” Hannah said, staring at the sky where the Dragon Emperor fought. “He’s struggling.” .

nAlex nodded. “Our moment of opportunity draws near,” he said. “We cannot mess this up.”

n“Let the others attack him first,” Hannah said. “Let him use all of his treasures.”

nThe others that surrounded the three were yet unaware of exactly what they were planning. They had not told anyone about the pill besides themselves.

nGraham flew up to Alex.

n“It’s done,’ he told him. “The war is over.”

nAlex turned around and was surprised to see that to be the truth. “I see,” he said. “Please have everyone that is wounded immediately taken care of. Have all the alchemists start making pills if pills are lacking.”

nGraham nodded and quickly sent the orders around.

n“What do we do with the prisoners?” Graham asked once his orders were followed.

nWhisker jumped off Graham’s shoulders and onto Alex’s, staring off into the skies just like the many others.

n“We took prisoners?” Alex asked.

n“Everyone who didn’t give up is a prisoner, I fear,” Graham said. “And there are many of them.”

n“Have the ones that aren’t wounded keep an eye on them,” Alex said. “Also, take care of the wounded from the other parties too. Not just our own.”

n“We’re already doing that,” Graham said. “I’ll relay the rest of your orders. Finish things here.”

nSince the active elders were busy attacking the Emperor as everyone else, Graham was alone in being the one to deal with the immediate aftermath of the war.

nLiz appeared a while later, watching the spectacle before her with wide eyes. Long Huan followed her and stared at his father as well.

n“He’s still not dead?” Long Huan asked.

n“Huan!” Hannah immediately took him into a hug, holding his head tightly. “I heard what happened. I’m so sorry.”

nLong Huan felt the tears coming back once again and held tightly onto his wife. .𝒎

nLiz walked up to Alex. “What’s going on? How is he still alive when the war is over?” she asked in disbelief. She had very much expected the Dragon Emperor to die by this point.

n“We’re working toward it,” Alex said. “We just have to wait a little longer.”

nThey stared at the sky patiently. After a while, it was clear to them that it was time.

nThe Dragon Emperor took out a giant metallic plate that appeared on the emperor’s side, immediately defending him against one of the attacks.

nThe other attacks were dealt with by him.

n‘Dammit!’ the Dragon Emperor thought. He had run out of every protective measure and was now just one step away from using everything.

nHe didn’t want to use the very last thing as he wanted to wait for what he would have to do once he used it, but he was being forced closer and closer to it.

nHe threw out another attack, sending tendrils of lightning all around him, exploding all the incoming attacks at once.

nWhat nobody understood was that the Dragon Emperor had not just converted part of his Qi into Immortal Qi through the Immortal pill. He had converted all of his Qi.

nSo, he had a lot more to use than what people imagined. And he could tell that Yan Yating had almost run out.

nHe focused on the 7 incoming attacks and sent out another attack, while also targeting Yan Yating at the same time.

nSuddenly space trembled around the Dragon Emperor and Zhou Linfan teleported right next to him with his sword ready to swing.

nAs reflected in the sword, the Dragon Emperor could see his demise.
