Chapter 616: Source Exhausted

On the other side, Qin Shaolong was also rushing quickly towards the Patrol Sky Domain.

Although he didn't know what was happening in the Divine Realm, he knew it was extremely dangerous. If Zhang Tianhao and the others were in trouble, he would be ashamed to face Senior Wu.

However, just as Qin Shaolong was rushing towards the Patrol Sky Domain, he sensed something, his expression drastically changed, and then his figure flickered, appearing before a rapidly advancing ball of light. He reached out and stopped the ball of light.

As Qin Shaolong's power acted upon the ball of light, Cai Wankun and the others, who were protected by it, revealed their original appearances.

But at this moment, Cai Wankun and the others were unconscious. Zhang Tianhao knew that if they were awake, they would never allow him to stay behind alone and would definitely choose to fight to the death with him. So, Zhang Tianhao could only make Cai Wankun and the others fall unconscious.

But this was no challenge for Qin Shaolong. Qin Shaolong uttered the words 'Wake up,' and the next second, Qin Shaolong's power acted upon Cai Wankun and the others, causing them to quickly regain consciousness.

After waking up, Cai Wankun and the others were stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Upon seeing Qin Shaolong, they anxiously said, "Senior Qin, quickly go save Senior Brother! Senior Brother stayed behind alone to let us escape."

Hearing this, Qin Shaolong's expression was extremely grim. Before Cai Wankun and the others could speak again, he immediately took them and rushed towards the Patrol Sky Domain.

Soon, Qin Shaolong returned to the Patrol Sky Domain with Cai Wankun and the others. Seeing the endless Forbidden Creatures within the Patrol Sky Domain, Qin Shaolong merely snorted coldly. The next second, an incredibly terrifying power surged from Qin Shaolong's body, instantly slaughtering all the Forbidden Creatures in the Patrol Sky Domain.

After all, the power of a Divine Venerable was not something Zhang Tianhao and the others could compare to at this moment.

After slaughtering all the Forbidden Creatures, Cai Wankun and the others didn't care about anything else and quickly rushed towards the now destroyed Patrol Sky Domain, hoping to find Senior Brother's figure within it.

Soon, Lin Qianyan noticed a figure floating in the Divine Realm and quickly rushed towards it.

"Senior Brother!"

Cai Wankun and the others also rushed over upon seeing this.

However, just as they were about to reach Zhang Tianhao, they saw Zhang Tianhao's neck twist at an extremely strange angle. The next second, he directly attacked them.

At the critical moment, Qin Shaolong appeared in front of Cai Wankun and the others, reached out and grabbed Zhang Tianhao, his expression extremely grim.

At this point, Cai Wankun and the others finally saw Zhang Tianhao's current appearance. Zhang Tianhao's body was covered in hideous and terrifying wounds, and an endless stream of Forbidden Power surged from within him. Looking at Zhang Tianhao's face, there was no trace of his former Senior Brother's appearance.

"Senior Brother, what happened?"

Lin Qianyan asked anxiously.

Cai Wankun and the others also looked at Qin Shaolong, as at this moment, only Qin Shaolong present could likely tell what had happened to Senior Brother.

Qin Shaolong's expression was extremely grim. He had already seen Zhang Tianhao's condition; Zhang Tianhao's body had been taken over by Forbidden Power, and there was no trace of Zhang Tianhao's aura left.

After a long while, Qin Shaolong sighed. Just as he was about to say something, he sensed something, his face slightly changed, and he quickly looked into the distance. The next second, he saw Wu Hao appear before them.

Seeing Wu Hao appear, Qin Shaolong's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Wu Hao to know about this so quickly and rush over.

"Senior Wu, I am very sorry. I failed to protect your eldest Disciple. Please forgive me, Senior Wu!"

Qin Shaolong gritted his teeth and knelt before Wu Hao, begging for Wu Hao's forgiveness. After all, Wu Hao was a God Emperor mighty figure. Although he had made great progress, he was still just a Divine Venerable. In front of Wu Hao, he could be annihilated with a single thought.

Cai Wankun and the others behind Qin Shaolong, upon seeing Wu Hao, immediately felt as if they had found their pillar of support and began to weep to Wu Hao.

"Master, please save Senior Brother! Senior Brother became like this because he saved us."

As Cai Wankun and the others cried out, Wu Hao remained silent, looking at Zhang Tianhao, who was restrained by Qin Shaolong, with an extremely complex expression. After a long while, Wu Hao finally sighed and said,

"I came too late."

In Wu Hao's perception, Zhang Tianhao's Divine Soul had already been completely devoured by Forbidden Power, leaving nothing behind, and his body had been completely consumed by Forbidden Power. This meant that at this very moment, Zhang Tianhao had fallen.

As Wu Hao's words fell, Cai Wankun and the others turned pale. They clearly hadn't expected that their Master, who was omnipotent in their eyes, would one day face a situation where he was powerless.

Lin Qianyan looked at Wu Hao and spoke in disbelief, "Master, how is that possible? Senior Brother is only an Earth God, and you are a God Emperor! Why can't you revive Senior Brother?"

"Yes, I am a God Emperor, and reviving an ordinary Earth God is naturally an easy matter. But your Senior Brother did not die at the hands of Divine Realm creatures; he died at the hands of the Forbidden Clan. The source within your Senior Brother has been completely worn away, and even I am powerless."

Wu Hao said with an extremely grim expression.

All Divine Realm creatures have a source. After being killed, the source will return to the Divine Realm, waiting to be reshaped into a new individual one day. But the Forbidden Clan are not Divine Realm creatures; they are enemies of the Divine Realm. Therefore, the source of those who die at the hands of the Forbidden Clan will also be devoured by the Forbidden Clan, thus losing the possibility of resurrection.

"However, your Senior Brother still has some words he wants to say to you. Seize the opportunity."

Sensing something, Wu Hao sighed, waved his large hand, and the power of a God Emperor surged from his body towards Zhang Tianhao, who had been consumed by the Forbidden Clan. Not long after, Zhang Tianhao, who had originally lost his rationality, had his eyes regain clarity.

Seeing Senior Brother recover, Cai Wankun and the others' eyes turned red, and they said to Zhang Tianhao,

"Senior Brother, we're sorry. We dragged you down. If it weren't for us, how could someone of your strength have fallen here?"

Zhang Tianhao now understood what had happened to him. He looked at Cai Wankun and the others with a relieved expression and said, "Don't blame yourselves. As the Senior Brother of the Celestial Emperor Sect, protecting you is my duty and obligation. Even if I fell, it's not your fault. It's just that I wasn't strong enough."

"No, Senior Brother, it's all our fault."

Lin Qianyan and the others couldn't help but cry at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but frown, and he angrily rebuked them, "As Disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect, what kind of conduct is this, crying and sniveling? The Dao of cultivation involves many risks, and falling is a reasonable matter. There's no need for you to dwell on it. One can only say it's fate."

"Moreover, my time is limited. I still have things to tell you."
