At this moment, the Divine Emperor of Light, the Emperor of Light, Lan Jingling, Shi Wushuang, the Insect Emperor, even the remaining top Barbaric Grade Creatures, and Azure all launched an attack, assaulting the Overlord relentlessly in an attempt to rescue Dongcheng. Yet the Overlord refused to dodge or parry, letting these strikes land squarely on his body. Gashes continually opened across his flesh only to heal themselves instantly, leaving not the slightest sign of serious injury.
Dongcheng's role was far too critical. His quantum body defied space and could even reach into time, rescuing those in peril multiple times throughout the battles. Moreover, his energy attacks carried immense destructive power, and he possessed the ability to resurrect himself. Just within the dozens of times Dongcheng had died moments ago, he had saved everyone at least scores of times. Lan Jingling and Shi Wushuang had been saved; Azure had been saved; even the Insect Emperor, the Divine Emperor of Light, and the top Barbaric Grade Creatures had all been saved. As long as Dongcheng lived, this war could continue, and they could continue to buy time. Therefore, Dongcheng absolutely could not die.
Yet... the Overlord seemed to have made up his mind. No matter how they attacked, he kept his fist raised toward Dongcheng, as if he were determined to kill him.
