Over the past three years, he had often thought that if Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were here, things wouldn't be so difficult.
The Thunderstorm Squad had been established for so many years. Under Wan Lei's leadership, they had fought countless battles, big and small. Even when facing the encirclement and suppression of millions of troops, they had never lost a single person.
But now, under his command, the Thunderstorm Squad had already lost more than half of its members.
The four of them, relying on the armor given by their parents, had faced death numerous times, but had ultimately survived.
But others didn't have that.
Kaka, relying on his invincibility, was unkillable, and thus survived. The only other survivor, Liu Yuxin, was protected by Wan Liuchuan at the cost of his life.
Everyone else was dead.
Yuan Jun and Qing Wu, the two women who constantly bickered and couldn't stand each other, ultimately chose to die together.
Tian Suanzi, that flippant and irreverent Taoist priest, to cover the retreat of the Thunderstorm Squad, unleashed world-defying magic, and eventually died of exhaustion.
Ao Lie and Huofeng, that colossal dragon and a phoenix, charged into the enemy ranks without hesitation, burning themselves and igniting their final fireworks with their lives.
Dada, that honest and simple-minded divine race warrior, smiled and said it didn't hurt, and continued to say it didn't hurt until his death.
Before Wan Liuchuan died, he told Xin'er,
"Live on, live well. When Wan Lei returns, everything will be alright."
Father, where are you? Why aren't you back yet?
Wan Lei, have you attained sainthood? We really can't hold on any longer.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wan Qianxin looked ahead and smiled,
"Everyone, it's time for us to die together."
Everyone looked up. Ahead of them, a Three Sun Demon Emperor was punching towards them.
"Are we going to die? It's good to die. Wan Lei, that heartless fellow, I wonder if he'll burn some joss paper for us."
Xia Yubing smiled brilliantly.
"Damn it, I couldn't kill any more demons!"
Liu Yuxin's lips were bitten until they bled.
Kaka grabbed Wan Qianxin and threw him behind him, placing himself at the front to shield them.
Just as that punch was about to land, amidst the endless layers of demons in front of them, an infinite amount of lightning suddenly erupted.
Those tens of millions of demons, without even a chance to scream, instantly turned into ashes.
The sky, which had been densely packed, suddenly cleared, revealing the sun.
Wan Qianxin and the others looked incredulously at the vast expanse of empty sky ahead. Under the sun, a figure, shrouded in lightning, stood proudly.
"Wan Lei..."
Tears instantly wet Wan Qianxin's eyes.
"Wan Lei has become a saint! He succeeded!"
"We are saved?"
"He... has arrived."
The Three Sun Demon Emperor, sensing the terrifying fluctuation behind him, retracted his hand, turned around, and looked.
"Wan Lei!!!"
When he saw that figure, joy and fear surged into his heart.
That figure was someone the Demon Lord himself had ordered captured, and also someone who had killed three Demon Emperors in the past.
"I heard that when you were an Immortal, you could kill Demon Emperors. So now, have you attained sainthood? I really want to see how strong you are now."
"I also really want to know."
Wan Lei spoke indifferently, took out a ring, and put it on his hand.
Instantly, an will that made heaven and earth tremble appeared.
The terrifying pressure from that figure almost made the Three Sun Demon Emperor kneel and beg for mercy.
"Putting on a show!"
The Three Sun Demon Emperor, enduring the pressure, his body covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and snorted.
He wanted to attack, but couldn't move a single step.
Wan Lei took a step forward, and instantly appeared before the Three Sun Demon Emperor.
He extended a finger and gently pointed forward. The Three Sun Demon Emperor's saintly path instantly collapsed, and he died.
"Killed the Three Sun Demon Emperor with a single finger?"
Xia Yubing stared blankly.
"This is already invincible in the world."
Wan Qianxin looked at Wan Lei before him, incredulous, unable to accept it.
When they first met in the Molten Death Domain, their strength was similar.
But later, the gap between them grew wider and wider.
When they were in the Taiheng Realm, Wan Lei could already kill Demon Emperors.
Now that they were in the Golden Immortal Realm, Wan Lei could effortlessly slay Three Sun Demon Emperors.
What was a Three Sun Demon Emperor? They were the strongest beings in the entire positive and negative planes, second only to Divine Venerables.
Yet, such a powerful being was like an ant.
Wan Lei flew over, looked at the people in the spaceship, and asked,
"Are all of you here?"
"Yes, only these few are left."
Wan Qianxin's eyes were filled with bitterness.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect everyone, which is why so many have died..."
"Go back and rest. I'm here now, leave this battlefield to me. I'll go ask the Sect Master first to see what his orders are."
"Alright."
Wan Lei nodded, his figure vanishing instantly. When he reappeared, he was already above the city walls in front of the Ghost Emperor Hall.
Here, Sect Master Wan Hong was fighting a Dual Sun Demon Emperor.
Wan Hong was only a One Sun Saint, far inferior in strength to his opponent. At this moment, he could barely maintain his undefeated status.
Seeing this, Wan Lei casually struck down the Demon Emperor and appeared before Wan Hong.
"Disciple Wan Lei pays respects to the Sect Master. Disciple has returned after attaining sainthood, killed two Demon Emperors, please give your orders."
Wan Hong looked at Wan Lei standing with clasped hands before him, and his usually stern face revealed a hint of a smile.
"Wan Lei, are your senses affected by the Demon Ring now?"
"Not at all."
"Your current strength..."
"Invincible beneath Immortal Venerables..."
"Good."
Sect Master Wan Hong laughed heartily, then said sternly,
"Disciple Wan Lei of the Five Elements Hall, receive your order!"
"Disciple is here!"
"I order you to go and aid the other Saints, kill all Demon Emperors, and then lead the Saints to the vanguard, attacking the demon race. Our army will counterattack!"
"Disciple obeys!"
"Wan Lei, after this battle, you will be appointed as an elder of the Saint Hall."
Wan Lei heard this and smiled slightly,
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Instantly, Wan Lei's figure disappeared, and he appeared before Wan Qingyi. After killing Wan Qingyi's Demon Emperor opponent with a palm strike, he turned and flew towards the other Saints.
Wan Qingyi stared blankly at the Three Sun Demon Emperor he had been fighting for a year, who had just been killed by a random palm strike, and couldn't accept it for a moment.
After a moment, he finally regained his senses.
"Hmm, worthy of being a child of my old Wan family, truly impressive."
Wan Lei successively charged to Wan Jianyi, the Sun God, the Taiyin God, and Ghost Emperor Wang Xiaohang, killed their enemies, and finally arrived before the Heavenly Venerable.
At this moment, two Heavenly Venerables were fighting two Demon Emperors.
This was the Heavenly Venerable's famous technique, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," which could create two clones, making a total of three Three Sun Saints.
However, one of the clones had already been killed.
