But at this moment.
Not only was the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens injured, but the gods' wounds were also extremely severe, and their elemental power was far from what it used to be.
The damage from their attacks had also greatly diminished.
As the gods' attacks rushed in.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens did not let go of his hands supporting the Tianheng Mountains.
Instead, he slightly raised his head and used the antlers on his head to meet the gods' powerful strike.
Boom!
The gods' fists collided with the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's antlers.
The massive eruption of energy caused the entire Tianheng Mountains to tremble once again.
Instantly blasting the two gods away!
But the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was not faring well either.
Amidst the violent collisions and explosions, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens never let go of his hands supporting the Tianheng Mountains. Under the intense pressure of the energy, his body finally gave out!
Thud!
He fell to his knees on the ground!
The mountains tilted once again!
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed from the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's mouth, staining the mountain before him red.
Xiao used all his strength to support the mountains, wanting to share the burden for Brother Skybracer. "Brother Skybracer, are you alright?"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens gave a bitter smile. "Not dead yet!"
Although he wouldn't die for the moment!
Because the Tianheng Mountains were collapsing, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens could only endure the gods' attacks without being able to counterattack.
If this continued!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens would eventually die at the hands of the gods, and Xiao would die too!
After they died, the Tianheng Mountains would lose their support and completely collapse, destroying the several villages at the foot of the mountain and countless citizens.
Before the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens could think of a better plan!
The two gods, who had been blasted away by the explosion, attacked once again.
Laughing wildly, "Hahaha, Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, so this is your end!"
"Weren't you able to fight four at once?"
"Weren't you very strong?"
"Come on, continue fighting us!"
"Hahaha, you don't dare let go of your hands, right? Then just die, Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens!"
While laughing madly, the gods raised their fists, drawing upon countless elemental forces.
Swinging them toward the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
Under these circumstances!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens still didn't dare let go. He could only kneel on the ground, pouring all his elemental power into the Tianheng Mountains to prevent them from collapsing further.
Leaning his body slightly!
He once again barely blocked the gods' attack with the antlers on his head.
Under the massive impact of energy.
The wounds on the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body worsened, and his body nearly embedded directly into the mountain.
Not only that!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens could feel that the Tianheng Mountains had begun to tilt again, and the pressure he was bearing was growing heavier and heavier.
For the already severely injured Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
It wouldn't be long before, even without the gods' attacks, he wouldn't have enough elemental power to support the collapsing Tianheng Mountains.
When that time came!
Even the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens himself would be buried under the collapsing Tianheng Mountains.
At this critical moment!
The already severely injured Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens seemed to have made some sort of decision. His blood-red eyes suddenly regained their spirit.
He roared, "Yaksha Xiao!"
Xiao hurriedly replied, "Brother Skybracer! I'm here!"
Blood and tears streamed from the corners of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's eyes as he spoke word by word, "Please cut off my antlers, and use them to prop up the collapsing Tianheng Mountains!"
These antlers had absorbed the essence of Lord Morax's Geo power.
They were the hardest things in all of Liyue.
Apart from these antlers, there was nothing else in all of Liyue that could support the collapsing Tianheng Mountains.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens had always treated these antlers as divine artifacts!
After every battle, he would even use a handkerchief to carefully wipe and maintain them, afraid of profaning them.
He couldn't bear to part with the antlers that made him so proud!
But he had no other choice.
To protect Liyue, to protect the citizens of Liyue.
Even if he sacrificed himself, even if he lost his most proud antlers, what did it matter?
Hearing this, Xiao was stunned, thinking he had misheard. "Brother Skybracer, what did you say?"
Blood and tears streamed from the corners of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's eyes, and his voice was already hoarse. "Cut off the antlers, prop up the Tianheng Mountains!"
Xiao finally heard him clearly!
Following the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's request, he raised the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear in his hands, aiming the sharp tip at the base of the antlers.
But he couldn't bring himself to strike!
His spear was formed from the body of his former brother Bosacius. It only slew enemies and was stained with their blood; it had never harmed a brother or a friend.
Just as Yaksha Xiao hesitated.
The two extremely arrogant gods attacked once again.
Using their hard fists at the fastest speed, they pounded toward the bodies of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens and Xiao.
Bang!
For this strike, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens didn't have time to block with his antlers.
It landed solidly on the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body.
Instantly!
A massive mouthful of blood sprayed from the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's mouth.
The wounds on the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's body worsened once again. Wound after wound tore open, revealing the flesh and blood of an adeptus.
Bright red blood flowed down the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's cheeks, neck, and spine, dripping down to his feet.
Gathering on the rocks and flowing into the distance.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was completely enveloped in bright red blood, his aura growing weaker and weaker.
He spoke in a weak, hoarse voice, "Stop hesitating. Quickly cut off my antlers. This is an order!"
"Remember, cut from the base!"
"That is the most fragile place!"
In the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's trembling voice, one could hear intense sorrow and despair.
As the greatest pride of his life.
These hard antlers were about to leave his body.
Hearing the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's voice, Xiao also shed tears. "Brother Skybracer, I will listen to you!"
The next moment!
Crying, Xiao raised the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear in his hands above his head.
Leaping into the air!
The Primordial Jade Winged-Spear in his hands spun wildly, fiercely slashing toward the base of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's antlers.
Swish!
The pair of antlers, nearly a zhang long, tumbled once in the air, dyed red by the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's blood.
Thud, thud
They landed in front of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
Looking at the antlers that fell before him, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens endured the dual pain of body and mind, picking up the blood-stained antlers in his hands as fast as he could.
Steeling his heart!
He directly reached forward and thrust them beneath the Tianheng Mountains.
The next moment!
A miracle was born!
The instant the antlers were thrust beneath the Tianheng Mountains.
Countless Geo elemental forces, as if going mad, gathered toward the antlers.
After absorbing a massive amount of Geo elemental power.
The pair of antlers suddenly expanded, growing larger and thicker. Using their powerful branches as fulcrums, they forcefully propped up the collapsing Tianheng Mountains once again.
Not only did they completely stop the Tianheng Mountains from collapsing.
They even forcefully raised the original Tianheng Mountains by several hundred zhang in height.
The top of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's head had become completely bare.
Where the twin antlers once grew, two terrifying holes appeared, continuously dripping with blood.
