Chapter 759: Chapter 759 - Burning, City of the Great Emperor!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

What was before everyone now was a very serious reality.

The recovery of the Heavenly Tree would take time.

However, the Spirit King might bring his troops over in the next moment.

It was impossible to defend with the current strength of the Great Emperor’s City.

In order to prevent the City of the Great Emperor from falling, the Second Commander could only use his final killing weapon.

However, this decision might also cause irreparable losses to the Great Emperor’s City.

Therefore, the Second Commander hesitated.

He looked at everyone present and repeated in a low voice, “Last resort… How about it?”

Hearing the Second Commander’s voice, the expressions of the other three commanders changed. Clearly, they all understood what the Second Commander was referring to.

Only Chu Feng had a puzzled expression and asked curiously, “Old Xue, what last resort? Does the City of the Great Emperor still have a hidden trump card?! Could it be that it can directly repel the Spirit King?!”

Chu Feng’s eyes shone.

If they could defeat the Spirit King so easily, what was he doing previously!

If he had known earlier, he would have just hugged the thigh!

But at the next moment…

The Second Commander looked helplessly at the excited Chu Feng and sighed.

“Don’t be too happy. It’s not as simple as you think. This so-called last resort is actually the last desperate resort!”

After a pause, the Second Commander continued to explain.

“After all, the Great Emperor’s City was personally built by the Great Emperor. It’s an extremely precious treasure with extraordinary power! If it explodes, the power it unleashes will definitely be able to destroy the world!”

Hearing those words, Chu Feng’s eyes widened and he exclaimed, “What?! Do we have to go so far? Wouldn’t we definitely die?!”

The Second Commander glanced at Chu Feng angrily.

“Kid! Let me finish!”

“Of course, we cannot just blow it up. What’s the difference between that and suicide?!”

Chu Feng smiled awkwardly and did not speak again.

Seeing this, the Second Commander continued.

“My so-called last resort is actually to burn the entire Great Emperor’s City!”

“It’s like a warrior burning his life when he’s going all out. He can instantly unleash unimaginable energy.”

“The Great Emperor’s City can also do this, and it’s even more powerful! It can be said to be an absolute defense! Even the Spirit King can’t break it!”

“But the price is also very high! The Great Emperor’s City is not burning ordinary energy, but the power of the Great Emperor contained in it when the Great Emperor built the city! This is something we can’t make up for!

“Therefore, if it burns for too long, the entire Great Emperor’s City might be completely emptied and collapse, turning into ashes…”

“This is the last resort of the Great Emperor’s City! Unless it’s a life-and-death crisis, we can’t use it easily! Even in that crisis a million years ago, the Great Emperor’s City never used this move.”

Hearing the Second Commander’s description, Chu Feng understood the seriousness of the matter.

He frowned and said in a deep voice, “That’s too risky. If the Heavenly Tree can’t recover before the Great Emperor’s City burns out, wouldn’t we have no last place to hide…”

If they lost the protection of the Great Emperor’s City, Chu Feng and the others would be a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Just the endless army of spiritual bodies would be able to devour everyone.

“Is there no other way?”

Chu Feng only asked subconsciously. He did not have any expectations.

However, the Second Commander slowly nodded again.

“There are naturally other ways, but none of them are safe. Furthermore, the conditions for use are very harsh. There’s a high chance that they can’t stop the Spirit King and the Spirit Army. Therefore, burning the Great Emperor’s City is still the most suitable method…”

Chu Feng sighed.

As expected of the foundation left behind by the Great Emperor. At this point, they actually had other trump cards.

At this moment, the Second Commander slowly glanced at everyone present and spoke in a deep voice, “If no one objects, it’s decided!”

“Of course, we won’t use such a desperate method from the beginning.”

“Firstly, recall all the soldiers outside!

“Then, take all the disposable Yuheng, talismans, array formations, and other treasures in the treasure vault that can increase the soldiers’ strength the fastest. Arm all the soldiers to the teeth!

“Secondly, since we have sufficient spiritual matter now, we’ll use all of it! We’ll pile it all up beside the Heavenly Tree. Even if it’s a waste, we have to revive him as soon as possible!

“This is the only way we can truly fight against the Spirit King!

“Lastly, if it’s really impossible, use our last resort!”

“Alright, adjourned. Go and prepare!”

At this moment, the Second Commander also displayed the decisiveness of a leader.

Immediately after, everyone left one after another to make arrangements.

The Second Commander stopped Chu Feng.

“Chu Feng, stay behind.”

It was rare for the Second Commander to call him by his name.

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Immediately after, the Second Commander suddenly said something shocking.

“Chu Feng, if… I’m just saying if. If things don’t go as we planned, and before the Heavenly Tree can recover, the Great Emperor’s City has already fallen, I want you to escape first!”

“Escape from the River of the Netherworld to the outside world. The further the better!”

Chu Feng’s eyes immediately widened.

He wanted to say something.

However, he was interrupted by the Second Commander.

“Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to escape with the Heavenly Tree! The Great Emperor’s City will protect you to the death. At the critical moment, I will even self-destruct the Great Emperor’s City to stop the Spirit King and cover your retreat!”

Hearing the Second Commander’s words, Chu Feng took a deep breath and stared at the Second Commander.

“Is it worth it?”

Hearing this, the Second Commander only smiled.

“The question is moot.”

“It’s a soldier’s duty to obey orders.”

“The mission of the Great Emperor’s City is to protect the Heavenly Tree!”

“It doesn’t matter if the Great Emperor’s City dies. The Great Emperor can rebuild it when he returns! However, the Heavenly Tree is like a family to the Great Emperor. Nothing must happen to him!”

“If you can save the Heavenly Tree’s life, the Great Emperor will definitely be grateful to you! When the Great Emperor returns, this will be a huge favor!”

Chu Feng opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

This supreme commander of the Great Emperor’s City was already considering if the situation was bad, he could escape with his men.

Was the situation already so bad?

Why did he feel that there was still hope?

Perhaps because he had already exchanged blows with the Spirit King, Chu Feng felt that… the Spirit King was actually only so-so… Of course, this was in terms of brains.

Chu Feng felt that there was still a chance to deal with such a fellow… Strength was not all that mattered…

At this moment, the Second Commander waved his hand as if he was tired.

“Alright, go and get ready. The other three teams should be back soon. Now that you’re a commander, you should have your own subordinates. They’ve all been assigned to you.”
