Yun Huang couldn’t comprehend Liu Yuan’s behavior at all.
What kind of expression was that?
This was no joke!
The Black Knight had just bought them a precious moment with what amounted to a suicidal move—it wasn’t so Liu Yuan could stand there like a statue, waiting to die!
The massive compressed boulder, carrying a dull roar of wind, was already upon them.
Yet Liu Yuan remained rooted in place, unmoving.
Had she given up?
Or… did she have some other plan?
Countless thoughts flashed through Yun Huang’s mind, but none provided a clear answer.
The boulder was moving so fast she could already feel the wind against her face.
Still, Liu Yuan showed no sign of dodging.
Yun Huang’s heart clenched.
There was no time to think!
The boulder was about to crush Liu Yuan’s skull!
At the last possible moment, Yun Huang lunged forward, throwing her full weight into a desperate shoulder-check against Liu Yuan’s side.
Thud!
The sudden impact sent Liu Yuan stumbling sideways.
Meanwhile, Yun Huang’s momentum carried her right into the spot where Liu Yuan had stood.
She didn’t know why she’d done it.
Maybe life had worn her down too much.
Or maybe Su Qi’s kindness was a debt she could never repay.
But none of that mattered now.
She looked up.
The enormous compressed boulder loomed in her vision, rapidly expanding.
The shadow of death had never felt so suffocating.
The wind pressure tore at her hair and whipped her clothes into a frenzy.
Then—in less than a tenth of a second—
A piercing shriek, sharp enough to rupture eardrums, erupted from behind without warning!
Something tore through the air at impossible speed.
A streak of light, so faint it was almost imperceptible.
In the next instant, it had crossed an impossible distance.
Thwip—!
The boulder, moments from crushing Yun Huang, jerked violently—just five meters above her head.
Then, without warning, a hole the size of a bowl exploded through its center!
Shards of rock and dust blasted outward from the exit wound, propelled by a shockwave of air.
A spear—jet-black, etched with eerie golden patterns—
Its tip gleamed with a chilling light, having pierced straight through the densely compressed earth.
The shaft trembled slightly, emitting a low, resonant hum.
BOOM!!
The boulder could no longer hold its form.
Cracks spiderwebbed from the point of impact before the entire mass detonated into fragments!
Chunks of debris scattered like hail in every direction.
Yun Huang felt the shockwave slam into her. A few larger shards grazed past, the wind from their passage stinging her cheeks.
But the crushing weight of death was gone.
Liu Yuan, barely managing to regain her balance after the collision, stared in stunned silence.
If Yun Huang didn’t recognize that spear, Liu Yuan certainly did.
"Brother?!"
But this wasn’t over.
The colossal lava behemoth, its throwing arm still mid-motion, paused.
The mocking glint in its burning eyes flickered, replaced by confusion.
Slowly, it turned its massive head toward the direction the spear had come from.
That spear.
It could’ve dodged.
But after a brief, "wise" consideration, it decided there was no need.
Its sheer size meant evading would’ve made it look ridiculous—maybe even topple it over.
A spear that small? Even at full force, it’d barely be a pinprick.
With the indifference of swatting a fly, the beast raised its gargantuan, magma-crusted palm and lazily swatted at the tiny black speck.
Then—
Shink—!
A sound absurdly delicate for the behemoth’s size.
The black spear didn’t stop.
Didn’t deflect.
Instead, like a red-hot blade through wax, it sheared straight through the hardened rock shell of the beast’s palm.
Then the molten core beneath.
The golden patterns along the shaft flared once.
SPLORTCH!!!
A wet, explosive crack—like pressurized steam bursting free.
The same palm capable of flattening hills now had a clean, gaping hole blown straight through it.
Magma, flecked with ember-like sparks, gushed from the wound in a scalding geyser.
For the first time, the beast’s fiery eyes widened in shock.
A clear, unmistakable sensation registered in its primitive mind:
Pain.
"Groo…?"
Its growl was short, strained—almost disbelieving.
And the spear?
It never slowed.
The spear tip sent a spray of molten rock and shattered stone flying, driving straight toward the most radiant core at the center of the colossal beast's chest!
Yun Huang was utterly stunned by the unimaginable scene before her, her mind blank.
Had the Guardian finally arrived?
But the Guardian of Jiangxia didn’t wield a spear…
The molten beast thrashed wildly, trying to evade!
But the Spear of Path’s End was faster!
Thunk—!
It plunged deep into its core.
Like a miniature sun, an explosion erupted within its chest!
The devastating energy instantly obliterated the elemental core hidden within its body!
The massive frame of the tenth-tier creature stiffened abruptly!
Then, like a collapsing mountain, it toppled!
Dust billowed, the ground quaked!
The entire Origin Realm seemed to tremble from the impact of that single strike!
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
A tenth-tier creature—
Annihilated in an instant?!
This was absurd!
Even if the Guardian of Jiangxia had come personally, such a feat would be nearly impossible!
This wasn’t just about strength anymore—
This was… outright cheating!!
A brief, deathly silence.
Then, emotions suppressed to the limit erupted in an instant.
"We’re alive!"
"We didn’t die!"
Deafening cheers and tearful cries of joy filled the air.
A warrior capable of obliterating a tenth-tier Origin Realm creature had arrived.
There was no reason left to fear death now!
The members of the former sanctuary point slumped to the ground, some sobbing uncontrollably, others clutching their comrades in tight embraces.
Only Liu Yuan remained standing, staring blankly at the spear that had pierced through the molten beast.
Logically, her brother’s arrival should have filled her with joy.
Yet, an inexplicable emotion—not happiness—surged in her heart.
A girl’s thoughts could be strange sometimes.
For instance, right now, Liu Yuan was fixated on one thing.
Because Yun Huang had pushed her aside.
So, in that critical moment, her brother had descended like a divine savior, rescuing Yun Huang from the brink of death.
That scene should have been hers.
The knight appearing in the most perilous moment, just like in a fairy tale.
So why had it become Yun Huang’s instead?
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
