At this moment, everyone was moved.

Reflected in their pupils was the figure slowly disintegrating in the high sky.

Cracks began from his fingertips, spreading to his wrists, arms, neck, and face... Golden Divine Light emanated from the cracks, as if what he was burning was his own Soul.

Yet, on that exceptionally handsome face, there was no pain, no fear, only a deathly calm.

Facing such a powerful enemy, this young man chose to bravely face death!

Above the city wall, Li Gang's mouth was agape, his throat felt as if a burning branding iron had been shoved into it, rendering him speechless.

Yet, on that cracked face, there was no pain, no fear, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

It was terrifyingly calm.

"He... what is he doing?"

A young professional's voice trembled, his face filled with horror.

"His body... is disappearing!"

Next to him, an old soldier, with tear-filled tiger-like eyes, roared hoarsely.

"He's using his life to buy us another chance to survive!"

"All of you, look closely! This is a hero!"

What kind of shock was that?

What kind of tragedy was that?

With the body of a Mortal, performing the deeds of a deity.

With a heart prepared for death, exchanging for a glimmer of hope.

At this very moment, within Donghai City.

Countless ordinary people who were frantically fleeing or cowering in corners were also startled by the golden light that pierced through heaven and earth.

They all looked up and saw the enormous golden seal, more dazzling than the sun, suspended above the city.

"That... what is that?"

"A miracle... is it a miracle?"

Vast imperial Divine Might spread like mercury, enveloping the entire city.

People uncontrollably knelt to the ground, prostrating and trembling.

Their Souls were as minuscule as dust before that immense power.

If they were to survive, this scene would be etched in their memories forever.

Outside the city.

That surging black beast tide, which seemed to devour heaven and earth, abruptly halted the moment the enormous golden seal appeared.

All the Strange Beast's movements froze in place.

In their crimson eyes, the frenzied killing intent and bloodthirsty desire were instantly replaced by a fear originating from the depths of their Souls.

They prostrated themselves on the ground, their massive bodies trembling violently, unable to make a sound.

Even the arrogant Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle, suspended in the air, was completely frozen.

For the first time, its golden vertical pupils, which usually looked down upon all living beings, revealed a human-like emotion called "fear."

It sensed death.

A real, tangible threat of death!

In the sky, Moria slowly raised his hand, which was already covered in cracks and almost transparent.

His lips parted slightly.

A cold, emotionless word, like a divine oracle from the Nine Heavens, clearly echoed across the entire battlefield.

"Suppress."

The moment the word fell. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Boom—!!!

The colossal golden seal's phantom moved!

Without any hesitation, it descended with supreme Divine Might, capable of destroying heaven and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) earth, directly onto the completely frozen Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle below!

Space, at this moment, shattered inch by inch!

The air let out a sharp, unbearable shriek of anguish!

Before everyone's horrified eyes, that terrifying Hell-level BOSS was slammed down from the high sky like a fly hit by a giant hammer, unable to offer even the slightest resistance!

The earth shook violently!

Centered on the giant eagle's impact point, a terrifying crater, over a thousand meters in diameter, roared into existence!

Within the deep pit, countless Strange Beast that couldn't dodge in time were instantly crushed into the purest pulp by that irresistible power!

The entire Donghai City shook violently at this moment!

Above the city wall, the recently established blue barrier violently swayed under this terrifying impact.

Although it absorbed most of the impact, the residual energy that escaped still swept over the city wall like a Category 12 hurricane!

"Ah!"

"Damn it! Hold on tight!"

Screams rose and fell!

Thousands of professionals on the city wall were violently flung off like leaves in a gale, falling miserably onto the streets within the city.

And in the sky, Moria, having completed this earth-shattering blow, could no longer maintain his already crumbling body.

"Crack..."

The last faint crisp sound.

The silver-haired figure, under everyone's gaze, completely transformed into golden dust filling the sky, slowly dissipating.

The hero, his curtain call.

As Moria dissipated, the golden giant seal's phantom in the sky also began to dim, eventually disappearing completely.

The small, ancient black seal's main body, losing its power support, began to free-fall from the high sky.

And it was at this moment!

"Roar—!!!"

A high-pitched, clear Dragon roar, filled with endless majesty, resounded through the clouds without any warning!

A black lightning bolt tore through the night sky!

Demon Dragon Xiao Hei's massive body had appeared above the battlefield at some unknown time!

And on its back, a tall figure stood proudly!

It was Da Yi, holding his longbow!

Zhou Huai's consciousness quickly transferred to Da Yi's body.

His gaze was like lightning, and just as the black seal was about to hit the ground, he flashed and firmly caught it in his hand!

Because Moria dissipated too quickly, the Zhen Tian Seal's suppression effect did not last too long this time.

At the bottom of the giant pit, the Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle let out a painful shriek, struggling to prop up its broken body from the bloody, mangled ruins.

One of its wings was twisted and broken at an odd angle, and its once magnificent dark golden feathers were now dull and covered with charred wounds.

It raised its head, its golden vertical pupils staring intently at Da Yi on the Dragon's back, no longer showing any of its previous arrogance or cruelty.

All that remained was endless terror and shock!

Because it could clearly feel it.

Its power was rapidly draining away at a terrifying speed!

Above the city wall, a professional with Advanced detection skills, looking at the data feedback on his panel, spoke with an excited, altered voice.

"Its... its Rank! Its Rank has dropped from Rank 40 to Rank 20!"

Li Gang suddenly looked up, and his old face, somewhat pale from exhaustion, was instantly replaced by a surge of ecstasy!

【Name: Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle (Hell-level BOSS)】

【Rank: LV20】

【Health: 2910271 / 3125471】

Not just the Rank!

Its original terrifying Health of over seven million was now less than half!

All its attributes had suffered a precipitous drop!

It had been forcefully knocked down from a Rank 40 Hell-level BOSS to a Rank 20 one!

On the Dragon's back, Da Yi slowly raised the black seal in his hand, which still emitted a faint warmth.

Zhou Huai's cold voice, through Da Yi's mouth, echoed across the entire battlefield.

"Everyone! There's no time for sorrow!"

"Now it's our turn to counterattack!"
