Chapter 529: 526, Death of Jun Eleven_1
There are still 19 minutes until the 500 nuclear missiles hit.
The great cultivators of China began to construct a defensive barrier, hoping to withstand the attack of the nuclear missiles, using their most potent defensive talismans, magic artifacts and even heavenly magic treasures.
Jun Eleven and King Arthur stood still in mid-air, at a loss at what to do.
As they saw the vigilant gazes of the Chinese cultivators, they exchanged glances and could only offer bitter smiles.
Truthfully, they had never betrayed the human race!
But they had no evidence to prove their innocence, and the great cultivators of China now mistrusted and even regarded them as enemies.
The estrangement this incident would lead to between the Chinese and Western cultivators concerned them more than the mere opposition they faced. Unless they could prove their innocence, it seemed inevitable.
The human race already faced a significant disadvantage against the Skuru, and now, with a divide forming amongst the high-ranking cultivators themselves, the chances of victory for Blue Star were all but slim.
Moreover, the united defense established by the ten Chinese cultivators might not be able to withstand the bombing of as many as 500 nuclear missiles.
If they failed to stand their ground or if some great cultivators were to be killed, it would be an unbearable agony for the human race.
Having thought this through, a firm resolve flashed in Jun Eleven’s eyes.
He raised his head high, attempting to convince all the Chinese cultivators, “There’s only one way to prove my innocence now!”
The Chinese cultivators glanced at him, then continued with their tasks, ignoring him.
Unfazed, Jun Eleven continued, “If I use my life to resolve this nuclear crisis, won’t it confirm my innocence?”
The Chinese cultivators turned back towards him again.
Was he genuinely serious?
Or was he intending to execute some sly plot?
“I have mastered a divine skill.” Jun Eleven raised his index finger with his left hand, “It’s called the ‘Grand Teleportation Skill’. I can send all the nuclear missiles to space with it, but that requires sacrificing my life. Now, I will use my life to cast the ‘Grand Teleportation Skill’ to resolve this crisis!”
Jun Eleven’s voice echoed through the air, earning the gaze of all the great cultivators, their faces filled with disbelief.
Jun Eleven continued, “Once I die and the crisis is averted, I hope you all wouldn’t foster the divide between the Eastern and Western cultivators. Let’s unite and fight the enemy together!”
And with that, he took off, flying towards the clouds.
To prove his innocence, for the unity of humans, and for Su Yu’s imminent breakthrough, Jun Eleven decided to sacrifice himself!
…
The great Chinese cultivators on scene were completely stunned.
Was Jun Eleven actually serious? Had they wronged him?
King Arthur was even more surprised than the Chinese cultivators.
He knew about the “Grand Teleportation Skill”, a divine skill created by the first emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus, after becoming a God Level cultivator, it had been passed down for over 1500 years to Jun Eleven.
This exclusive divine skill of God Level beings could only be used by a sixth-level cultivator like Jun Eleven by sacrificing his life.
And now, Jun Eleven was planning to use it!
“Have you gone mad?” King Arthur teleported in front of Jun Eleven, grabbed his shoulders, “Once you die, there is nothing left! We have other ways to prove our innocence, why should you follow such a desperate path?”
Jun Eleven gave him a stubborn look. “Only this way can the gap between the Eastern and Western cultivators be bridged, and the humans have a chance of victory. Besides, this will also ensure that Su Yu won’t be threatened by the nuclear missiles. I hope you all can kill as many Skuru as you can, taking revenge for me!”
After that, Jun Eleven broke free from Arthur’s hold and headed towards the clouds at a high speed.
During his flight, he activated a life-based divine skill – “Life Force Combustion”.
“Life Force Combustion” was a divine skill researched by the emperors of the Roman Empire in its later stages. It could burn life force to greatly improve one’s strength in a short time.
Since Jun Eleven’s life force burnt substantially, his strength was elevated to the peak of the sixth level within mere five seconds, equal to the strength of Elder Yang.
However, due to the combustion of his life force, his lifespan was rapidly declining.
“Jun Eleven!” King Arthur reached out to stop him again.
But Jun Eleven, at his current level, was beyond his control. Breaking through his obstruction, he ascended into the clouds.
Seeing Jun Eleven resoluting heading toward the missiles, Arthur felt an unbearable pain.
How could things have come to this?!
The Chinese cultivators were also in shock. Did Tao Qian make a mistake? Did they misjudge the situation?
Elder Tao was too surprised to speak.
Since Jun Eleven activated the “Life Force Combustion”, it was evident that he was prepared to sacrafice himself. He was innocent; he had not betrayed the human race.
Was Tao the one who had wronged him? Did he cause the divide between the Eastern and Western cultivators?
Elder Tao clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, “So be it. I will go with cultivator Jun Eleven. The rest of you continue setting up the defense. If Jun Eleven indeed sacrifices himself, I’ll offer my life in return!”
Then, like an arrow, Elder Tao flew into the air, heading in the direction of Jun Eleven.
Emperor Taizong and Emperor Liu Che wanted to stop him, but they didn’t.
With the turn of events, they were unsure of how to handle things. To stop it or not, they were at a loss.
Meanwhile, the inflation and contraction of the sea palace where Su Yu was had become more intense. A pure white light emanated from the top of the palace, signaling that the breakthrough was about to succeed!
…
Watching Elder Tao and Jun Eleven depart, King Arthur stood still in mid-air, stunned. His mind had gone numb and halted.
The Chinese cultivators continued to build the defense barrier, nobody uttered a word, their mood reached a low point.
It wasn’t until Jun Eleven activated the “Life Combustion” that they realized they had misunderstood Jun Eleven completely, and in the end, they forced him to his death.
Though they were biased due to the erroneous information provided by Commissioner Zhang and Elder Tao, they were partially responsible for Jun Eleven’s death.
How would they face Western cultivators in the future?
Emperor Liu Che glanced at the others and said heavily, “No matter what, let’s continue building the defense. I hope everyone can learn from cultivator Tao Qian’s mistake, and do not jump to conclusions without clear evidence. Also…”
He took a deep breath, and continued, “Our enemy is always the Skuru. It’s the 500 nuclear missiles launched by them that killed cultivator Jun Eleven and Tao Qian. One day, we must take revenge!”
“Yes, revenge!”
“An eye for an eye!”
