Chapter 1273: Holding Up the Sky with One Hand!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

In midair, the elites of both the human and demon clans spat blood almost simultaneously, and the barrier they had strained every nerve to create shattered with a roar!

A dozen or so figures fell helplessly from the sky, while the demonic palm continued to descend unhurriedly.

"Senior Fang Tian!"

Teng Yun bellowed, mobilizing his remaining primal power to envelop Fang Tian, who was on the verge of death.

"Th-this... what's going on? Why... is he so strong?"

"Over a dozen peak experts from both human and demon clans couldn't even hold out for two breaths? I... am I seeing things?"

"This demon god seems different from the ones before! He... he's terrifyingly strong!"

"Where is the Divine Sky King? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Could it be... he fled the battle?"

...

It was only then that the warriors of both races realized just how powerful Kano was!

That world-destroying palm wasn't just a name to scare people!

With one palm, Fang Tian and over a dozen top experts from both races had been defeated—what trump cards did they have left to resist?

At that moment, someone finally remembered Ye Yuan, realizing he had never appeared from start to finish.

Had this leader of the human race fled the battlefield?

Instantly, angry curses spread through the crowd.

Of course, more than that... it was fear!

The palm of the True Demon Avatar was still slowly descending, and the earth trembled.

The more desperate they became, the more they longed for a savior, and the more they scorned Ye Yuan's apparent desertion.

More and more people cursed, their words growing uglier.

All accusations pointed at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had left in secret; few knew of it.

Even among the high-ranking members of both races, only a handful were aware.

Seeing this, Teng Yun could no longer hold back and roared, "All of you, shut up!"

Teng Yun's voice boomed like a great bell, instantly suppressing all the curses.

"You ignorant fools! To deal with Kano, Ye Yuan ventured deep into the Forbidden Divine Territory to seek the chance of becoming a god—a journey with no hope of return! You useless lot, all you do is blame heaven and others. Think for yourselves—have you ever made any effort?"

Everyone fell silent, shame coloring their faces.

They suddenly realized that Ye Yuan had indeed been absent for a very long time.

No one had imagined that he had entered the Forbidden Divine Territory.

That was a place even divine-path experts dared not tread!

It seemed the Divine Sky King and the others had long known that the demon god's power was unstoppable, which was why they had resorted to such extreme measures to seek a final glimmer of hope for the human race.

But could he succeed?

For over a hundred thousand years, countless brilliant talents had failed to open that mysterious gate.

Could the Divine Sky King succeed?

"Hahaha... Tremble! Despair! Everything created by the Celestial Venerable Xianlin, this god will utterly destroy today! Hahaha..."

From the sky came Kano's arrogant laughter.

In this age without divine realms, he was invincible!

"Quick! Activate... the Twenty-Eight Mansions... Spirit-Guarding... Grand Array!"

At that moment, Fang Tian's faint voice rang out.

Teng Yun did not understand, but he reacted instantly!

"Hurry! The Four Symbols Clans, activate the Spirit-Guarding Grand Array simultaneously!" Teng Yun shouted.

Though the four clans were not together, they had arrays to transmit messages among themselves.

Teng Yun's command spread to all four clans in an instant.

The grand array activated, and the spirits of the Four Symbols soared into the sky, echoing each other from afar!

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—the Four Symbols spirits, as if summoned, converged above the Dragon Clan in moments!

Each of the Four Symbols spirits let out a long cry, forming a terrifying resonance among themselves.

A massive barrier condensed in the sky above the Dragon Clan.

Seeing this, hope flickered again in the despairing eyes of all.

No one had expected that activating the Spirit-Guarding Grand Array of all four clans simultaneously could produce such an effect.

"Boom!"

The black giant palm landed directly on the barrier, shaking the earth.

"It held! I never knew the Four Symbols Clans had such a powerful array!" A voice of surprise came from the crowd.

Seeing that the barrier had actually worked, Teng Yun was also greatly surprised.

He had never heard that the Spirit-Guarding Grand Array of the Four Symbols Clans could have such an effect.

"Senior, we succeeded!" Teng Yun exclaimed joyfully.

Fang Tian weakly shook his head and said, "It's... useless."

By now, Fang Tian was on the verge of death, clinging to his last breath, liable to die at any moment.

Fang Tian's words, however, made Teng Yun's heart sink.

Kano watched coldly, sneering, "Harmony of the Four Symbols? Hmph, if the ancestors of the four clans were here, this harmony would indeed be formidable! What a pity, what a pity!"

A black bead flickered faintly on Kano's forehead, and his demonic aura suddenly surged several times!

The power of the True Demon Avatar also multiplied several times!

"Crack... crack, crack..."

Beneath the demonic palm, the barrier held for only a few breaths before cracks began to appear.

The piercing sound drained the color from the faces of the warriors of both races.

Still not enough!

More and more cracks spread across the barrier until, unable to withstand the palm's force, it shattered completely!

The Four Symbols spirits, unable to bear the pressure, dissolved into nothingness.

"Rumble..."

The giant palm drew closer, the pressure mounting.

"Pfft, pfft..."

Before the giant palm had fully descended, a group of weaker warriors could no longer withstand the pressure and spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

As the palm dropped another fraction, many warriors' bodies exploded outright, crushed into pulp.

Teng Yun and the others' faces turned ghastly—this Kano was too strong, so strong it drove one to despair!

Now he finally understood why Ye Yuan had ventured deep into the Forbidden Divine Territory to chase that almost impossible hope.

Without a divine realm, they had no chance at all!

"Pfft!"

The giant palm now hung directly overhead, and Teng Yun could no longer hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The previous strike had drained most of his strength; he was already at the end of his rope, and he had to divert some primal power to protect Fang Tian.

He was nearing his limit!

"Is this... the end?" Teng Yun said in despair.

"Hahaha... The Celestial Way of Xianlin, nothing more! You suppressed this god for a million years, but today, this god will take back everything with interest! Brahma True Demon, kill!"

Amid Kano's wild laughter, the giant palm came crashing down.

Despair spread across everyone's faces; in the span of a hundred breaths, they felt as if they had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.

Cries of agony rose and fell among the crowd.

They were cries of utter despair!

"Boom!"

Just then, the giant palm stopped abruptly!

A surge of energy rolled outward, blasting for a hundred thousand leagues.

The blast whipped up fierce winds, forcing everyone to shut their eyes.

When they came to their senses and looked closely, they saw a small, frail figure holding up the palm of the Brahma True Demon with a single hand!
