Chapter 2216: Chapter 2216

"Su Alliance Leader, retreat!" At this moment, Xu Fenghou rushed over, grabbed Su Yang's arm, and ran outside.

"I can't retreat!" Su Yang shouted. As the Alliance Hierarch of the Human World, if he retreated, who else could defend this place?

"You must retreat!" Xu Fenghou urged anxiously, "The headmaster is about to use their final strike cultivated over thousands of years, which is also the last bit of time they can buy for the Human World. Staying here, we can't help at all and might even get caught up in this strike—it's meaningless!"

"What final strike?" Su Yang asked in surprise, as he had never heard of such a thing.

"There's no time to explain now, hurry!" Xu Fenghou urged again, while among the rest, the elderly all began pulling people out from Qinghe Academy.

Su Yang saw clearly that two of the Three Eagles of Yanbei had died, leaving only one of the Three Eagles still fighting in the crowd.

Dragged away by people, the last eagle roared and struggled, suddenly charging into the crowd, stubbornly dragging out the corpses of his two brothers, even at the cost of breaking an arm and a leg.

With an eagle in one hand and biting the clothes of the second eagle, he forcefully dragged out the bodies of the two men as well.

Lv Donglin was covered in blood, still desperately fighting, when Su Zhan rushed down, grabbed him, and left.

Black Widow followed Su Zhan, also wounded in multiple places and quite severely injured.

Everyone else was in similar conditions, being dragged out of the basement by those senior experts.

Meanwhile, the teachers of Qinghe Academy did not retreat; instead, they charged into the basement without hesitation.

The headmaster, surrounded and injured by dozens, was wounded all over, not a part of his body remained intact. Yet, he felt no pain and instead raised his head in laughter.

"I've waited too long for this battle. Today, it finally comes. Fellow Daoists, during these thousands of years, I've kept you confined within Qinghe Academy, unable to see all the beauties of this world—it is my greatest selfishness. However, no matter what, I must thank you all for fighting alongside me!"

The remaining school teachers bowed to the headmaster saying, "Our stay at Qinghe Academy is all voluntary. To fight alongside the headmaster is the greatest honor of our lives!"

"Thank you!" the headmaster nodded and suddenly shouted, "A thousand years of hardship for this moment, I do not regret it even if I die!"

After speaking, a light suddenly appeared on the headmaster's body.

In line with the headmaster's situation, lights started to flash on others as well. Even on those of the deceased from Qinghe Academy, light began to appear.

The light rapidly spread, condensing into a piece in the air, enveloping the entire building.

Those Four Realms members who rushed out of the basement were all quite strong, yet they could not break through the light and could only struggle desperately inside.

Xu Fenghou, carrying Su Yang, flew in the air, quickly calling out, "Quick, have Little Turtle retreat!"

Little Turtle enveloped the whole building, preventing the Four Realms people from getting out. Now the light took over Little Turtle's role, trapping those from the Four Realms.

Without thinking much, Su Yang immediately reached out and lifted Little Turtle.

Once Little Turtle was out, the light spread further, expanding once more.

By now, Su Yang and the others could see very clearly, eight stone coffins were not sealed by the light. In other words, the headmaster and others did it purposely, still leaving those people to rush out from the stone coffins.

Su Yang could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the light. Moreover, this power was continuously increasing; at this rate, it was destined to explode eventually. Once it exploded, the power would be truly terrifying!

"What... what is this?" Su Yang asked trembling, knowing that those teachers were all within the light. Once it exploded, none of them could walk out alive!

"This is a secret technique the headmaster and others began practicing thousands of years ago..." Su Zhan explained beside him, "Previously, when the Human World's Boundary Point seals were occasionally broken, people from various realms would enter the Human World. But at those times, it was only a single Boundary Point shattering, with no involvement of Feather Spirit Palace or World Melting Furnace. Thus, not many would invade, and Qinghe Academy could hold up for a while. Plus, with Divine Beasts guarding then, after Qinghe Academy held out for a while, the Divine Beasts could seal the Boundary Point."

"However, the Boundary Point seal can't be perfected, the threat remains. Worried that many Boundary Points might open at once, the headmaster and others resolved to fight to the death and cultivated this secret technique. If they could no longer hold their ground, they would all charge down, exchanging their lives for the strongest strike, hoping to shatter the Boundary Point, completely severing connections with the Eight Realms."

"This strike not only gathers all their power, but also combines their souls, thus unleashing the strongest force. However, by doing so, they also completely lose their chance at reincarnation. These people, in essence, face complete annihilation, never to reincarnate again!"

At this moment, Su Zhan's face was extremely somber.

Many of those at Qinghe Academy have been guarding for thousands of years. For the Human World, no one knows how many sacrifices they've made or the price paid. They've silently continued their dedication, even in the end, stripping themselves of any rebirth chance, just to gain some opportunity for the Human World. These are truly the most admirable individuals!

Su Yang's eyes reddened; these were all his teachers, yet he could do nothing, only watch them die right there!

In the Four Realms' Boundary Point, people continuously rushed out, roaring as they charged into the light, only to be trapped inside.

Not long after, people from Feather Realm and Demon Realm's Boundary Points came through as well, seeming impatient to enter the Human World to see the situation. However, the scenario was the same—they too were trapped within the light.

Within this light, despite the struggles of these individuals, they couldn't escape, almost as if they were flies stuck in a swamp.

Finally, the light grew increasingly intense, nearing its breaking point.

Su Yang's vision blurred further; he knew his teachers were close to their limits.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the light below suddenly burst forth, akin to a bomb explosion. The immense force shattered the entire building and everything in the basement.

The only things unchanged were the eight stone coffins, yet they twisted. They appeared almost unreal, obscuring the view of what was inside.
