As the voice fell, the Thunderfire Lotus rapidly expanded, enveloping the sky.

Countless people fled in haste, but before the explosion, Chen Lan had set up a protective array for the people of Blue Star. Although it might not make much of a difference, it could at least withstand some of the impact.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the Thunderfire Lotus exploded, with thunder and fire erupting and sweeping across billions of miles. No corner of Blue Star was spared, and all creatures faced this sudden and terrifying power.

Wherever it reached, no grass grew. The Desolate Celestial Realm was instantly consumed by thunder and fire, not even a scream was heard, as if a black hole had swallowed them completely.

Even with the temporary array set up by Chen Lan, most people from Huaxia perished, a situation that could not be changed.

Chen Lan was no exception, covered by thunder and fire, unable to make a sound.

The explosion of the Thunderfire Lotus was quick, and it dissipated just as fast, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye.

And those who were swallowed appeared one by one, their clothes tattered, lips stained with blood. Those with low cultivation levels had long evaporated, only a few Taoist Saints and Daoist Venerables had methods to resist it.

Among them, Yang Jian was the most composed. His clothes remained intact, standing gracefully in the sky. In contrast, others were in a sorry state, resembling beggars to those unaware.

"This Ye Lan, where did he learn so many Great Divine Techniques?" The Daoist Saint Beast General exclaimed in horror, looking at his right arm that had exploded and disappeared.

Just now, he had instinctively used his right arm to resist, but the Spiritual Energy Shield burst open, the thunder and fire devoured his arm, taking it entirely, causing immense terror.

His physical body, although not very strong, was not weak enough to have an arm instantly vaporized. It could only be said that Chen Lan's Great Divine Techniques were overwhelmingly powerful.

"Ahhhhh!" At this moment, a scream arose from the side, and he quickly looked over, eyes widening in shock.

He saw another Beast General with both legs gone!

"Gold-devouring!" Others exclaimed in shock, hurriedly running over to check on the condition of Gold-devouring.

Among the four Beast Generals, one was the Gold-devouring Beast, whose body was extremely strong, the second most defensively powerful Demon Beast after the Black Tortoise. Now his legs were blown off, illustrating the terrifying power of Chen Lan's Great Divine Techniques!

"Damn it, I was the closest just now, my legs were blown off instantly and can't recover. The thunder and fire continually corrode my body, making it feel both numb and burning, it's so painful!" Gold-devouring said, pale-faced.

This Thunderfire Lotus Destruction seemed to have a similar effect to Yang Jian's Celestial Eye Divine Techniques, capable of eroding the body, preventing recovery.

Hearing this, the other three were greatly shocked. The one missing a right arm quickly attempted to restore it with Spiritual Qi, only to find it useless, causing his face to change drastically with fear.

"It's really useless!" He looked at the others and saw many Daoist Venerables injured, the most severely being Li Jing. Without his Treasure Tower, both his combat and survival abilities were greatly reduced, and he lay on the ground, dying.

"Heh, look at Ye Lan, do you think he's any better off? It turns out this kid was fighting us with his life!"

At this moment, a voice rang out, and everyone looked towards Chen Lan, joy spreading across their faces.

They saw that Chen Lan, standing in the sky, had long lost his previous vigor. His face was pale, hair chaotic and floating, his once-pristine white robe tattered and stained with blood over half of it, his body covered with wounds, the chest wound pierced by Divine Light reappeared, his whole body swayed as if he might fall at any moment.

He could stand only by supporting himself with the Lantian Sword, preventing himself from falling.

"Ye Lan, you can no longer fight, choose now: die or submit." Yang Jian stood before Chen Lan, speaking coldly.

He could see that Chen Lan's body was already shattered, sustained only by the Dao of Life, but his internal injuries were irreparable without regenerating bones.

Chen Lan let out a bleak smile. He indeed was unable to continue fighting. The earlier move had exhausted all his Spiritual Qi and strength, taking many with him, but unfortunately, he couldn't kill any of the Taoist Saints.

Seeing the restless crowd, he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and met Yang Jian's gaze: "As long as I can hold a sword, I will not yield."

"Good, courageous, then I'll give you a quick death!" Yang Jian shouted coldly, inwardly feeling some admiration for Chen Lan. Even at death's door, he remained defiant. No wonder he was once a terrorizing genius of the Desolate Celestial Realm.

In an instant, Yang Jian charged forward, raising the Three-pointed, Double-edged Sword high above his head, delivering a powerful strike.

Chen Lan's pupils narrowed, hastily raising his sword to block, but weakened as he was, how could he match Yang Jian?

Boom!

In an instant, Chen Lan was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. Yang Jian pursued, diving down and swinging another strike, slashing across Chen Lan's chest, causing blood to gush out.

Seeing Chen Lan being overpowered, the remaining people on Blue Star looked on with despair and worry, tears of sorrow streaming down their faces.

Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable, he had sacrificed so much for them!

"Damn it, brothers, charge! Fight them with all we've got!"

"Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable isn't afraid, why should we be cowards!"

"That's right, sooner or later we die, better to die standing!"

One by one, they rallied, shouting once more and rushed forward with their weapons.

Although they were like ants compared to the Daoist Venerables and Taoist Saints, at this moment, they chose not to fear or retreat, but to die standing!

Huaxia has no cowards!

...

"Why are you so stubborn, surrender early, and I can spare your life." Yang Jian said puzzled while attacking Chen Lan.

Isn't there a saying that as long as the green hills are there, there's no need to worry about firewood?

Why would Chen Lan rather die than submit?

"You talk too much, if you have the ability just kill me." Chen Lan retorted coldly, swinging his sword, which Yang Jian easily blocked, countering by slashing his arm, releasing a torrent of blood.

"What a pity, you committed grave sins, your mistake was offending too many people, otherwise you could have been the brightest star in the Desolate Celestial Realm." Yang Jian shook his head in regret; figures like him were rare in history.

"You are wrong, I've never made mistakes." Chen Lan said with a faint smile.

His master once said if he made mistakes, he'd be the first to deal with him. But since it never happened, it showed he never made mistakes!

"It is you who are wrong."

"Nonsense!" Yang Jian could no longer stand it, how could he remain stubborn even at death's door?

In an instant, Yang Jian thrust his sword into Chen Lan's chest, piercing through to the ground, embedding itself there.

Even so, Chen Lan still remained silent.

Yang Jian's eyes showed no emotion, pulling out the Three-pointed, Double-edged Sword, Chen Lan fell heavily to the ground, his eyes gradually losing light. Sensing his life force quickly fading, he would die within a minute, Yang Jian turned to leave.

He admired Chen Lan, so he'd leave him a dignified death.

"Ye Lan is dead, fully invade Blue Star!"

However, in the Void Space, an elder sitting by the River of Time revealed a long-lost smile.

"Rebirth through destruction, who said Divine Bone cannot regenerate?"
