Chapter 1820 Golden

Chapter 1820 Golden

To Alex's eyes, it all happened in an instant.

The moment he sent Zhou Linfan away, he saw a distance grow between him and the Emperor that he quickly covered and swung his sword down.

Alex saw the Golden Dragon shield appear out of the Dragon Emperor's storage ring, but it seemed useless as Zhou Linfan cut through it and the slash landed on the Dragon Emperor's chest and then...

A bright golden glow covered his eyes.

The sudden glow that appeared in the battle was bright enough that it forced every single cultivator to shade their eyes from the glint, unable to see exactly what it was.

It was only when the light disappeared that they saw what had happened.

Zhou Linfan was right about to cut the Dragon Emperor's heart when he felt some sort of disturbance right in front of him.

The shield that he had cut through suddenly started glowing. Within a split second after being cut, they glowed so bright that Zhou Linfan could not see anything before him.

At the same moment, he felt as though he was blinded, the light turned into a force that pushed him back at the same time.

The pushback came with a power that terrified Zhou Linfan. Had it not been for the power his body had generated at the moment, he was sure that he would have died.

He stumbled through the air and barely managed to keep himself from tumbling further as he looked back at the bright glow of light.

What had happened?

Zhou Linfan felt his death approaching. He could feel the power in his body slowly leaving him as there was nothing more of him for the energy to devour to empower him.

He was dying.

He started falling through the sky as he didn't even have anything to keep him afloat. As he did, he saw a golden sphere that had appeared where the Dragon Emperor had been.

A golden sphere with a golden dragon that swam around it.

Something had clearly protected him, but it could very well be true that the Dragon Emperor was dead on the inside. Alex wondered if there was any way to find the truth at all.

"Hold him," Yan Yating said. "I'll finish this."

Alex took hold of Zhou Linfan and watched as Yan Yating flew toward the golden sphere and let out a fiery slash, combined with the powers of his Immortal Qi.

The crescent fire hit the barrier and the golden dragon that swam around the sphere roared as it fought back, destroying the attack before it could land.

Everyone who was looking at it was surprised.

Yan Yating couldn't believe what he witnessed, so he continued attacking again and again, only to be blocked by the barrier.

Yan Yating sensed more attacks from behind him and moved away so as to give a clear field for everyone else to attack.

Every single attack that landed on the barrier was somehow defended against completely.

Alex took Zhou Linfan back to regroup with everyone else.

"What is that?" Alex asked as soon as he arrived, looking toward Long Huan for any sort of answer.

"I... I do not know," Long Huan said. "I have never heard about any techniques of this sort."

Alex frowned. How could he have this strong of a technique that he could stand against hundreds of attacks from everyone?

Attacks drowned out the sky in multicolored explosions, and yet at the end of it all, the golden sphere still stood.

"Not technique," Zhou Linfan said in a low rasping voice as he drew in some breath. "Artifact. Shield."

Alex heard those words and realized what had happened. "The shield you cut apart?" he asked. Was it what had activated?

He looked down at the old man who was now near death and remembered that he needed to help him heal. With his body, as it was, nearly dead and crippled, a healing pill would kill him.

As such, Alex teleported into the ship and let the old man rest near the Phoenix fire.

"Please... tell me I killed him," Zhou Linfan said. "I must... I must have..."

"Worry not," Alex said as he rested his palm on the man's chest to help him calm down. "I'm sure he is dead. If not, he should be at death's door because of you. As for the rest, we can take it from here."
