I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Eighth Urgent Lock, Open!

In the face of absolute power, all schemes become pale and powerless.

Even if Li Shutong’s Eight Major War Zones could defeat those allied forces one by one,

Void’s true purpose had already been achieved. As long as it surpassed Tier Nine, nothing else would matter.

It would personally annihilate all humans on Blue Star, all living beings, destroying the entire Blue Star!

Void had transformed into endless darkness, now indiscriminately devouring everything it could.

At this moment, Li Shutong suddenly looked towards Han Zhan behind him. ”Old Jiu, it’s your turn.”

Li Shutong’s words made everyone pause for a moment.

They didn’t believe that in such a situation, Han Zhan could turn the tide.

What even Li Shutong couldn’t achieve, how could Han Zhan do it?

”Tell me the position of the Eighth Urgent Lock.”

”Teacher, you?!” Han Zhan suddenly raised his head, looking at his teacher as if recognizing him for the first time.

He had always thought that Li Shutong took him as a student because of his talent or some other reason, but Han Zhan never considered one thing: Li Shutong knew his identity as a ”Transmigrator”!

This was something Han Zhan had never thought of.

When Li Shutong asked him about the position of the Eighth Urgent Lock, this feeling intensified.

”That’s right, I know everything.” Li Shutong seemed to have seen through Han Zhan’s thoughts. He didn’t deny it, nodding affirmatively, ”For thousands of years, Great Xia has explored tens of thousands of ruins. In these ruins, there were myths and historical records not belonging to Blue Star Civilization.

I have seen among them the Fu Xi Zither, Shennong Cauldron, Xuanyuan Sword... the Ten Great Ancient Divine Soldiers, if I’m not mistaken, that’s what they are called.”

Li Shutong’s words made Han Zhan fully understand one thing.

That is, his teacher Li Shutong had foreseen this situation from the beginning!

He was never passive in the situation but had taken the initiative!

On the surface, it appeared that the Insect Race, in alliance with others, had schemed against Li Shutong.

In reality, however, Li Shutong had calculated their moves to the last!

For some reason, Han Zhan recalled what Li Shutong once said to him: ”The roots of Great Xia have completely rotted. Simply cutting them off cannot cure it, so we need a fire to give it a new beginning.”

Once, Han Zhan always believed that Li Shutong hoped he would become that fire.

He never imagined there would come a day when Li Shutong would use himself as bait, becoming the flame to ignite all the decay in this world!

”Teacher!”

Han Zhan opened his mouth, not because he didn’t want to tell Li Shutong the position of the Eighth Urgent Lock, but in his memory, if it was opened, it would completely consume his life.

If Li Shutong had planned all this from the start, he must have also planned his own death.

This was something Han Zhan could not accept.

”Old Jiu, you once said you wanted to become a hero, to protect the people you want to protect.”

”Becoming a hero requires a price; sometimes, that price is your own life.”

”Face it calmly, accept reality, this is my destiny.”

Li Shutong said in a calm tone.

Han Zhan looked up at the sky, which was now being swallowed by endless darkness, continuing to consume more places at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wouldn’t be long before Void devoured everything.

Han Zhan knew his teacher was right.

Since he had decided to burn away the darkness with his life as a fire, let the flames burn brighter!

Burn so they feel the pain!

Burn to make them never forget, to penetrate the core!

Thinking of this, Han Zhan no longer hesitated and pointed towards Li Shutong’s heart. ”There, that’s where the Eighth Urgent Lock is located!”

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Li Shutong’s face showed a gratified smile.

He looked at Han Zhan with gentle eyes, like an elder gazing at a younger one, ”Your other senior brothers have followed me for a long time, but with you, I feel a sense of apology, so I’ve stayed in Deep Blue City these past months. I have enjoyed the days spent with you.”

”From the moment I knew you awakened your Spirit Contract Master talent, we were already part of the game.”

”This chess game is the best solution I could think of. I’m sorry, as the Chess Player, for those who sacrificed.”

”Didn’t you tell me you wanted to become the Chess Player? From now on, it’s all in your hands.”

”I’ve settled arrangements for your senior brothers and the surviving Great Xia People. They will be waiting for you in the north.”

”Come on!”

Li Shutong said his last words and smiled, nodding at Han Zhan.

Then, endless white mist behind him, like finding an outlet, began madly rushing into Li Shutong’s heart from all directions.

A hundred years of accumulated life and death.

At this moment, it helped Li Shutong finally open the last of the Eight Urgent Fist!

Eighth Urgent Lock, open!

In the next moment, all white mist disappeared.

Li Shutong’s aura surged dramatically, rising to the level of Void.

His body began to show dense cracks.

Li Shutong, with his mortal body, matched the power of gods. He could not bear the power of the divine, and his flesh body showed signs of disintegration.

But he had no concerns, moving forward without hesitation, wildly unleashing his fists.

This punch struck through the endless darkness in the sky, blasting a massive hole!

Void’s incredulous voice came out: ”How is this possible? How can this be possible!”

”How can you transcend Tier Nine? You, a mere ant of a human, how can you stand alongside gods!”

The response was Li Shutong’s second punch.

This punch not only shattered the sky’s darkness but also exposed the Origin fused by Void to everyone.

With the third punch, Li Shutong knocked down the Void Origin, grasped it in hand, and forcibly embedded it into Han Zhan’s body!

The fourth punch, as Void tried to escape in panic, was utterly crushed in consciousness by Li Shutong’s later punch. Despite also being at the Realm of Transcendence, Void could not withstand even four punches from Li Shutong!

The fifth punch, Li Shutong struck the Mad Beast and Phantasm, who had no ability to resist, scattering their souls on the spot.

The sixth punch, Li Shutong targeted the direction of the Crimson Queen and Yi Fan, but only shattered two Insect Race members replaced by lies. Seeing things go awry, Yi Fan had already used deception to replace his true body and withdrew with the Crimson Queen from the battlefield.

The seventh punch, the fist’s force spanned thousands of miles across the sea, shattering the teleportation vortex in the deep sea, cutting off the Insect Race’s plans to continue teleporting.

The eighth punch, all the Insect Races in Deep Blue were completely swept away by this punch, leaving the world peaceful and clear!

Having unleashed these eight punches, Li Shutong had reached the end of his life.

He burned his entire life, carrying beyond mortal power.

After the eight punches, Li Shutong completely lost his breath.

Han Zhan looked up.

He saw Li Shutong quietly standing there, hands behind him, gazing towards the north.

The next second, he completely dissipated into the world.
