Countless monsters surrounded the entire space, they had the appearance of insects, and their bodies were covered in pitch-black scales.

A pair of claws were extremely sharp, and their tails behind them seemed to be made of steel, with droplets of mucus falling from the corners of their mouths.

Xu Ziyans Qinglian Sword struck down, and a bug shattered in response, but in the next moment, it turned into densely packed small bugs.

The tiny bugs were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, like clusters of black mist.

The other bugs were enveloped by the black mist, and visible abnormalities began to appear.

Small bones pierced through their bodies, forming layers of spikes outside the scales.

Just breaking the flesh would result in a deadly poison that could seal the throat.

We fought desperately in the void, and in the end, even the hand holding the sword trembled, only barely exterminating the monsters here.

Not far ahead was a raised platform, and on the platform was a set of shining white armor.

It was as pure as the first snowflake between heaven and earth, just a glance made it seem incredibly noble.

When I reached out to touch it, wisps of black mist seeped out from the box containing the white armor.

The monsters that were already dead, under the strong call of the dense black mist, began to constantly combine together.

Their appearance became even more distorted, with a bug acquiring the tentacles and claws of other bugs, becoming indescribable.

And more and more bugs devoured each other, their limbs gathering together, becoming stronger and stronger.

We all knew that we couldn't let them fully merge together, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to defeat them.

The armor of the Human Emperor appeared on me in an instant, and the helmet changed its size, slowly closing in on my cheeks.

An arm of the armor extended, perfectly connecting with Xuan Yuan Sword. In that instant, a profound power entered my mind.

They gradually converged into certain peculiar characters, with the meaning:

【Man is the master of all things, always seek self-improvement without rest.】

The whole world seemed to turn into a vast starry sky, with each bright spot representing a person.

The power of the common people began to gather towards the Human Emperor, and the monsters in front no longer seemed terrifying.

Because what it had to confront was all the people in the world.

Unfortunately, there were too few people now, many had died in the chaos.

Those who believed in Buddha would no longer be summoned by the Human Emperor, they had betrayed the human race.

They had also lost their faith and the courage to forge ahead.

The monsters roared and rushed towards me, stretching out countless huge sharp claws, scraping against the armor and making a squeaking sound.

The sacred light of the human race on the armor burned it, and in the end, the claws that grabbed the armor burst into flames.

Under the monsters' roar, the radiance of Xuan Yuan Sword had already slashed through the sky, turning into a huge stream of light, dividing the bugs into two.

When I stepped out of the Bronze Sparrow Platform, Guan Yin Bodhisattva had already disappeared.

The whole world returned to its original appearance, but in the distant void, there was something restless.

Its true body was still far away from the world, but it shot a beam of light that penetrated Xu Ziyan's body directly.

Xu Ziyan's body remained unharmed, but she became dazed and confused.

She couldn't hear the sounds of this world, nor see its people.

In her mind, certain experiences kept cycling, causing her whole body to tremble and tears to flow uncontrollably.

Her lips moved slightly, wanting to tell me something, but in the end, she restrained that impulse and only said:

"Can you hug me?"
