The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens had already lost his antlers. Naturally, he could feel his life force ebbing away. It wouldn't be long before he died completely.
So he didn't want to waste a single moment.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens threw a punch and charged at the god.
Facing the dying Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, the god refused to show weakness.
Swinging its heavy iron fists and releasing elemental shockwaves, it tried to kill him.
This time...
When the god's iron fist drew near, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens didn't dodge at all.
Instead, he took the god's punch.
And his own fist struck the god's body.
Although he had lost his antlers.
And lost his most powerful means of combat.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was still an adeptus. The fists he threw still carried the weight of a mountain.
Just like this!
Relying on his agility, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens punched the god again and again.
Using his life force as fuel, the power he erupted with far exceeded the god's expectations.
Punch after punch!
Until the god was beaten into a bloody pulp.
After beating one of the gods to death, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens finally stopped. But his expression didn't relax in the slightest.
Because he could already feel it.
The punches he had just thrown had consumed more than half of his life force.
His time was running out!
It was very likely he would collapse at any moment and never stand up again.
So he didn't waste a single second!
After slaying one god, he immediately shifted his gaze to the other.
When the god saw the cold, piercing, murderous gaze of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
An endless fear arose in its heart.
The god's body trembled!
It retreated step by step, wanting to get away from the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, who looked like a demon.
The god, as if driven mad, muttered to itself, "No... no... impossible... you are not an adeptus!"
"You are a demon!"
"I am not the god, you are the god!"
"Ahahaha... you are the god!"
The severely injured god was completely broken by the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, both physically and mentally.
It would show a terrified expression one moment.
And let out a crazed laugh the next.
When the god looked at the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens again, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. Its body couldn't help but tremble.
It ran out of the Tianheng Mountains like it had gone mad.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens wanted to chase it. But the life force in his body was about to run out, and his consciousness was growing hazier.
He fell to the ground.
In his current state, he couldn't fight anymore, let alone chase the god.
But... when the crazily fleeing god heard the sound of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens falling, it was so scared its body trembled even harder.
It stumbled and fell from the top of the mountain.
The heavy injuries on its body, combined with its chaotic, mad mind and the intense fright.
Actually caused it to widen its eyes and drop dead on the spot.
Just at this moment!
The Millelith soldiers guarding the pass had finally defeated the divine familiars and came to help the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
Seeing Yaksha Xiao covered in blood and lying on the ground, the Millelith commander hurried over and helped him up.
The Millelith commander: "Lord Xiao, wake up quickly!"
Xiao opened his eyes and hurriedly said, "Go find Brother Skybracer... he chased the god!"
The Millelith commander: "Yes, sir!"
Handing Xiao over to the care of the other Millelith soldiers, the commander hurried out to look for the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
"Lord Skybracer, where are you?"
"Can you hear us?"
"Could Lord Skybracer have chased the god out of the Tianheng Mountains? So he can't hear us?"
"Probably not... Lord Skybracer would absolutely never abandon Tianheng Pass and the citizens just to chase a god!"
...
Over a hundred Millelith soldiers searched together.
Finally, at the bottom of the cliff, they saw the corpse of the last god, and the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens standing beside it.
The Millelith commander hurriedly climbed down the cliff and arrived beside the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
Looking at the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, who was covered in blood, had lost his antlers, and was practically unrecognizable, the Millelith soldiers were deeply saddened.
But after confirming that the last god was also dead, smiles of relief appeared on the warriors' faces:
"Finally... we won!"
"We held Tianheng Pass!"
"We protected Liyue!"
But... just as the warriors gathered around the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, happily waving their blades and spears.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens stood there like a stone statue, completely motionless.
The Millelith commander said happily, "Lord Skybracer, we won!"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens still gave no response.
Finally!
When the warriors touched the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body, they realized he had closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
"Lord Skybracer, you can't die!"
"We won!"
"Hurry and save Lord Skybracer!"
"Carry Lord Skybracer up there, let Lord Xiao treat him!"
...
These Millelith soldiers didn't have elemental power.
At this time, the only one who could help the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was Xiao, who was also severely injured.
When the warriors carried the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens to Xiao's side!
When Xiao saw the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, who had closed his eyes and lost consciousness, he shed tears once again.
Brother Skybracer!
The Millelith commander beside him hurriedly said, "Lord Xiao, hurry and save Lord Skybracer!"
Xiao said, almost crying, "I understand! I will definitely save Brother Skybracer!"
Pressing his hands against the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's chest.
Xiao tried his best to channel his remaining elemental power into the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body, wanting to stop his life force from draining away.
After a long time!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens absorbed Xiao's elemental power and finally slowly opened his eyes.
Regaining a bit of consciousness: "Xiao, stop. Don't waste your elemental power!"
If this continued.
Not only would the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens die, but Xiao also ran the risk of dying from exhaustion.
Xiao was unwilling and continued to channel his remaining elemental power into the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, wanting to stop the life force from draining.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "Stop. That is an order!"
Xiao could only say with a choked voice, "But..."
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "That is an order..."
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens lay on the ground, his body unable to move anymore.
He could only emit a weak voice: "Xiao, help me up. I want to take one last look at Liyue!"
With the support of Xiao and the Millelith soldiers.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body was carried to the highest peak, from where the entire land of Liyue could be overlooked.
Faintly, the traces of the villages could still be seen.
On the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's blurry face, a faint smile seemed to appear. A blood-stained tear appeared at the corner of his eye.
"May it be Liyue that wins the Archon War a thousand years from now!"
"May the citizens of Liyue no longer be harassed by the gods a thousand years from now!"
After the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens finished speaking, losing the support of his elemental power, his body transformed from human form into an antlerless stag.
Standing completely motionless in place.
He closed his eyes, losing the very last trace of his life aura.
