The jade giant that is tens of meters tall is Yilan's elemental true body that has released all his power.
As for the barriers formed by stone swords, perhaps they can be called "Swords of the Cliff"?
Although it seems a bit unworthy of its name because it does not contain the fire element, it is surprisingly strong.
The barrier formed by the stone swords was like a dam built in such a way that it was ingeniously crafted. Although it was constantly washed by the tsunami, making a teeth-grinding sound, it firmly blocked the tsunami out.
But this is not a long-term solution.
The enemy had the advantage of time and location. The torrential rain and the location near the sea provided them with abundant water resources, allowing them to continuously increase the power of the tsunami without consuming much elemental power.
And myself…
"How long can I hold on?"
Yilan himself didn't know the answer. He had given up suppressing the demon's filth and taken back his own power.
Giving up on suppressing the demon's filth meant that his life had entered a countdown.
Originally, he might have lived for a few months or even a few years, but now it would not be surprising if he died or went crazy in the next second.
But he didn't regret it.
Since we are all going to die anyway, why not die in a blazing manner?
If people are afraid of death in The Sims, wouldn't that be a bit ridiculous?
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as if nothing had happened and looked behind him.
The enemy's attack slowed down as their attention was distracted by the mountain he created, allowing Marcosius to free dozens of clones to assist in the migration.
The terrain of Liyue Harbor is particularly suitable for defense. After all the people of Liyue enter the city, we only need to control the narrow passage in front to ensure the safety of the people in the city.
Ganyu seemed to want to rush over here, but was stopped by Marcosius. I don't know what he said to her. The girl looked over here with tears in her eyes, and then began to help evacuate the people.
There was a painter who entered Liyue Harbor first. He climbed up the mountain in Liyue Harbor, looked at the vast scene in front of him, and couldn't help but pick up his paintbrush.
The first thing that appeared in his painting was the dark clouds that seemed to be pressing down on the city, followed by a tsunami that stretched from the sky to the earth, which swept forward with overwhelming force.
But a giant made of jade stood in its way, raising endless mountains to keep the tsunami out.
On one side of the mountain, there was a massive flood, and it looked like the end of the world.
On the other side of the mountain, immortals and great demons were fighting, a surging crowd was evacuating towards Liyue Harbor, a small return machine was emitting thousands of rays of light, and the Thousand Rock Army was charging towards the enemy fearlessly.
This is the cruelty and greatness of the war between demons and gods, and it is also humanity's own elegy.
When he was halfway through the painting, he suddenly noticed that the people entering Liyue Harbor were weaving something spontaneously.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Have you forgotten?" people said to him. "This is the gift we agreed to give to that gentleman."
...
Boom!
A section of the mountain finally broke through under the pressure of the tsunami. In an instant, a strong water pressure hit Yilan's body, causing him to spit out blood and take a step back.
But soon he gritted his teeth and pushed forward again, and the elemental power of rock surged out again, filling the gap.
And at the moment when the mountain was broken, he also saw the three hideous heads of Ba Che through the tsunami.
Honestly speaking, he was a little surprised that Ba Che could be so expressive—was he still the noob in the game who was bullied by players in various ways and screamed after being shot a few times in the CG?
But if you think about it carefully, it's normal.
After all, it had a glorious record of spitting the Three Elements Traveler onto the wall, and it was also the Demon's wife, a most authentic subordinate-level strongman, and a monster that had survived the Demon-God War and experienced thousands of years of wear and tear.
Think about the Dragon King Ruota, who had also lost his sanity after thousands of years of wear and tear. It was normal for Ba Che's strength to decline at that time.
Now it is in a state of complete victory, with the help of time and place, so it is normal that it can launch this demon-level tsunami.
Then again, if I were a boss in the game Genshin Impact now, I would have to be at least a weekly level boss, right?
I should have extremely high defense and a blood-locking mode.
Such a boss must be very difficult to deal with, right?
...
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
It's obviously the most critical moment, why am I still thinking about these messy things?
He tried to focus.
But it failed.
My thoughts became scattered, my vision became blurry, I could no longer hear my own heartbeat, and one knee fell to the ground, unable to bear the weight of my leg.
"..."
Oh, am I going to die?
Is this what it feels like before death?
I don't know how the evacuation of the Liyue people is going. After all, this is related to my reward. The more Liyue people survive, the better the reward I will get.
It's a rare opportunity for me to risk my life like this, and I almost moved myself to tears. There should be a good ending for me, right?
He turned his head.
His vision had become blurry, the blood that had flowed out of his eye sockets had already dyed his vision red, but…
In his vision,
In this dark rainy night,
A beam of light slowly rose.
Then came the second, third, and fourth bunches…
The night lanterns slowly and stubbornly rose into the sky amidst the violent storm. The darkness was riddled with holes pierced by thousands of rays of light. All the rays merged into one, becoming dazzling and incomparable.
His vision gradually became clear, and he could see a piece of paper hanging under the lantern, with words from Liyue written on it.
"Thank you, Master. My grandfather survived because of the food you gave him."
"You are our family's benefactor. When you return to Liyue, please come to my house for dinner."
"Big brother, I want to marry you when I grow up, can you wait for me?"
"Come on, Brother Immortal, don't lose to the bad guys, you are our hero!"
"..."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
He could hear his heart beating.
I am still alive.
[I'll tell you something secretly. The people of Liyue and the immortals have prepared a surprise for you. As for what the surprise is, you'll know when you return to Liyue Harbor.]
He remembered what Master Liuyun Jiefeng said to him in the tent that day.
Some people would like to call themselves heroes.
He once thought that being a hero was as ridiculous and pedantic as being a "partner of justice," and it was something he would never have the chance to be.
But...
He exerted force with his bent leg, digging a deep hole in the ground. His whole body made a sound of joints pressing against each other, and more blood spurted out, but he still stood up by his own strength.
His body was already riddled with holes, and he could no longer use elemental power to repair himself. The demonic filth had invaded every corner of his body.
There wasn't much strength left in his body.
But it doesn't matter.
True strength lies not in how much you have, but in how much you can sacrifice.
He used the demon's filth as energy, allowing the deadly poison to replace the elemental force and become his own power.
"Boom!"
A violent tsunami suddenly collapsed a mountain, and the exploding flood covered Yilan's body. All the immortals who were paying attention to this place couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ba Che opened the champagne and said, "Haha, I've said it before. How can he alone stop the tsunami caused by the combined strength of several of us? When the mountain is destroyed, Liyue will be submerged!"
But soon, their conversation stopped.
They sensed something strange.
After breaking through the mountain, the tsunami did not flow forward, but stagnated there, as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
The howling wind swept away the dust, and the roaring waves covered up the sound.
In the boiling seawater, a giant with black lines all over his body stood on the ground.
"Burn again, my life."
