Chapter 1522 Even If You're Unwilling, So What?
On the seventh day of the sky sea's fall, many injured unicorn warriors died one after another because they had not been treated in time and had exhausted too much demonic power. The old patriarch finally couldn't hold on anymore because he had exhausted too much demonic power and fell to the ground.
His fall meant that the unicorn clan had admitted defeat.
When the old patriarch landed on the ground, he created a few cracks of varying depths. He was already old, and he had exhausted too much demonic power in his body, so during the process of landing, he couldn't even release his spiritual energy to protect himself.
After the old patriarch's body landed heavily on the ground, his internal organs were shattered by the powerful impact.
"Pfft!"
The old patriarch spat out a mouthful of blood at the ground and his eyes were filled with tears. Because the pain was too intense, he couldn't even move his eyelids. The old patriarch used all his strength to say in a hoarse and weak voice, "Xiao Shu, the cubs… cubs, I'll leave them to you…" Before he could finish speaking, he died with his eyes open.
"Old Patriarch…" As Xiao Shu stared at the old unicorn in a daze, his heart ached. In the two to three years he had lived in the unicorn clan, this was the first time Xiao Shu had felt a sense of kinship. The old Patriarch imparted knowledge to him without reservation, like his grandfather.
However, before he could show his filial piety to him or lead the unicorn clansmen to live a good life, they all died.
Two drops of tears rolled down the Fire Unicorn's eyes, but they were not roasted by the true fire. The tears landed on the green grass. At the same time, a burst of energy that no one could see suddenly emerged from the soil and lingered around every unicorn clansmen.
In that instant, those dying unicorns felt as if something had rung in their minds. Then, the unicorn demon beasts struggled to move their limbs and slowly opened their eyes. At this moment, there were tears in their eyes.
Demon beasts couldn't cry.
Only demon beasts that had awakened their divine sense and obtained high-level intelligence could shed tears. When they shed tears, it meant that they had surpassed the limit of demon beasts and had become divine demons, obtaining the chance to cultivate into humans.
Back then, the Icy Night T-Rex had accidentally awakened its divine sense because it had comprehended maternal love. Today, the tears left behind by Xiao Shu in the form of a Fire Unicorn were not burned dry by the true fire. They fell to the ground and soaked into the land where the unicorn clan lived.
The unicorn clansmen were affected by the Fire Unicorn's feelings. They actually felt grief, despair, and the urge to cry.
That feeling was so intense.
Suddenly…
"Whaaa!"
Yin Rong heard a cry, and that cry came from her independent world. Before this, those unicorn cubs didn't know how to cry at all!
When they saw their parents die, they would only feel the instinctive fear of demon beasts, but they wouldn't cry.
What did this mean?
Yin Rong was stunned. She suddenly turned to Xiao Shu and said, "Xiao Shu, the unicorn cubs are crying."
As a human, Xiao Shu didn't realize what this meant. He only thought that the cubs were crying because they were afraid.
However, Yu Huang, Donor, and the others instantly understood what Yin Rong meant.
"Xiao Shu, the unicorn cubs are demon beasts. Demon beasts can't cry," Yu Huang reminded Xiao Shu.
When Xiao Shu heard this, he belatedly realized what Yin Rong meant. "What did you say?" Xiao Shu asked in disbelief, "You said that the little unicorns can actually cry now? Aren't the only demon beasts that can cry…" As he looked at the old patriarch, who had died with his eyes wide open, his eyes suddenly turned red. He choked on his tears as he said, "Only divine demons can cry!"
Yin Rong nodded sadly as she said to Xiao Shu, "Xiao Shu, the old patriarch and the others used their deaths to successfully awaken the divine sense of the little unicorns so that they can become divine demons. Xiao Shu, the unicorn clan finally gave birth to divine demons."
Xiao Shu nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
"Old Patriarch, did you see that? The cubs have awakened their divine sense. The unicorn clan has finally broken the curse and obtained divine demons!"
"Xiao Shu! We have to hold on! If we can hold on until help arrives, the warriors will be saved. Since the cubs awakened their divine sense, the warriors might also awaken their divine sense. Then, the unicorn clan will become stronger. Let's hold on a little longer." Yu Huang took the opportunity to cheer everyone on.
In fact, Yu Huang already felt that her spiritual energy was running out.
However, in order to hold on until the day the reinforcements arrived, Yu Huang couldn't give up.
"Alright!"
The awakening of the cubs' divine sense gave them motivation.
However, their strength was limited.
On the eighth day after the sky sea fell, Yin Rong was the first to fall to the ground because her spiritual energy was insufficient. Fortunately, Xiao Shu was paying attention to Yin Rong at all times. Seeing that she was delirious when she landed and couldn't even release her spiritual energy to protect herself, he hurriedly flew towards Yin Rong. The moment she landed, he extended his arms to catch her.
Without Yin Rong and Xiao Shu's resistance, the sky sea found an opportunity and began to attack Yu Huang, Donor, and Estelle ferociously. The three of them were also exhausted, so when they were suddenly attacked by the sky sea, the three of them were almost defeated on the spot.
The three of them were forced to return to their human forms. They quickly approached each other and gathered their spiritual energy together to form a spiritual energy net that blocked the sky sea.
The sky sea pressed down on the huge net and was about to pour into the independent space. Yu Huang and the others struggled to hold on. Soon, their spiritual net shattered piece by piece and they were slowly forced to bend down.
Seeing that the sky sea was about to crush Yu Huang and the others' bodies, Xiao Shu suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yu Huang, Donor, Estelle, let's give up!" Xiao Shu hugged Yin Rong as he looked at the unicorn demon beasts on the ground with grief.
Most of them were already dead.
No matter how hard they tried and how hard they endured, it was all in vain.
Looking at the eyes of the unicorn clansmen that were filled with the will to survive, Donor and the others couldn't bear to agree.
Yu Huang stared at the old patriarch's body as she said in a hoarse voice, "Will the unicorn clan's encounter become the future of the Holy Spirit Continent? Our hometown, our family, and friends will also lie motionless on the ground, but we can't do anything…"
Tears flowed down Yu Huang's face.
At this moment, Yu Huang and the others realized their weakness and incompetence once again.
Tears were already streaming down Donor's face. He shook his head and said, "I'm unwilling to accept it."
Who would be willing to accept it?
How could Xiao Shu be willing to accept this?
But.
But.
"But they're all dead…"
Upon hearing this, the remaining stubbornness Yu Huang and the others had was instantly extinguished.
They were all dead.
It was meaningless for them to continue.
