Having made up her mind, the Goddess of Kindness surged into the sky, charging directly toward Qian Renxue who was positioned high in the heavens.
Accompanying her movement was a vast expanse of pure white ocean and a stretch of pure white land.
Upon seeing this move by the Goddess of Kindness, Ah Yin and the others immediately understood her intentions. They began to launch another fierce assault, determined to trap her here while secretly signaling for reinforcements from Xue Di on Douluo Planet. Otherwise, the three of them might well fall here.
The younger generation had succeeded, but if they themselves faltered, such an outcome would be unacceptable!
However, this time, instead of using her supreme benevolent divine power against their attacks, the Goddess of Kindness waved her hand, causing the soil around her to burst apart. Twisted white branches erupted wildly from the ground.
Soon, these branches spread throughout the entire white world of the Goddess of Kindness, sprouting leaves that were as luminous and smooth as jade.
Seeing those familiar leaves, Ah Yin's expression changed, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "The leaves of the World Tree—how did she steal my abilities?"
Beside her, Bo Saixi echoed in equal disbelief, "Not only that, she's also stolen my Primordial Water! Damn it! It seems she hasn't just seized control of this world, but has also taken some of our abilities used to form it."
Upon accepting this conclusion, both women's faces turned grim. Only the wielders of these super-divine artifacts could fully comprehend just how formidable their defensive capabilities were!
The ensuing clash confirmed this.
With the combined near-impenetrable defenses of Ah Yin and Bo Saixi, the Goddess of Kindness was now nearly untouchable.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, who was being targeted, saw further ahead. While Ah Yin and Bo Saixi focused on how the Goddess of Kindness had stolen their powers, Qian Renxue, whose abilities hadn't been stolen, could more clearly sense the flow of divine power within this world. Her expression grew even darker than theirs.
Holding her sword in one hand and shield in the other, Qian Renxue spoke with unprecedented solemnity.
"Stop worrying about those stolen abilities. Don't you see? She's also stealing the divine power of this world through her authority. Quickly cut off the flow of her divine power, or it will only get worse!"
At this realization, Ah Yin and Bo Saixi acted swiftly. While maintaining their attack, they formed seals with their hands, focusing all their attention on intercepting the divine power flowing into the Goddess of Kindness' pure white world.
Though the Goddess of Kindness' pure white world was created by seizing the permissions of this realm, it remained intrinsically connected to the original world. However, what was once a normal world had now become a cancerous growth—expanding uncontrollably and voraciously consuming divine energy.
As she gazed at the nearby Qian Renxue, the Goddess of Kindness suddenly smiled menacingly, raising her hand toward the sky as if to grasp the heavens.
In response, the trees within the pure white world coiled and solidified, forming a colossal hand that blotted out the sky. This massive hand locked onto Qian Renxue and closed in relentlessly.
Being singled out as the primary target was clear evidence that she was seen as the weakest link. A flicker of anger passed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
Did they really think she was so weak?
Holy Punishment!!!
Qian Renxue pushed her apocalyptic law to its limit, combining it with her holy light law. Swinging her Holy Sword, she formed a terrifying divine blade thousands of miles long, aimed directly at the giant hand.
(A/N: The path of the Holy God is modeled after the Christian God, the superior of angels, who frequently engages in creation and destruction. Thus, possessing the law of destruction is not unusual.)
The scene resembled divine retribution descending from the heavens, poised to obliterate the wooden monstrosity.
This strike landed squarely on the palm of the giant hand, instantly severing tens of thousands of vines.
But it was futile. In an instant, countless more trees entwined around the wound, sealing it shut. The two sides were temporarily locked in a stalemate.
At this moment, Ah Yin urgently called out, "Don't engage in direct confrontation, Qian Renxue! She's stolen the abilities of my World Tree. Originally, the World Tree parasitizes an entire world, possessing vitality and durability comparable to an entire plane. You alone cannot break through and destroy it."
Even among family members, there must be some distance. Although Ye Wen's family knew each other's signature artifacts, they were largely unaware of their full capabilities.
Now, hearing Ah Yin explain, both Qian Renxue and Bo Saixi felt a pang of envy. Was this the privilege of being the first wife?
By saying this, wasn't Ah Yin essentially using an entire world as a shield? How overwhelmingly powerful!
Bo Saixi was less affected; her Primordial Water equated to the ocean of an entire life-bearing plane, offering similarly unreasonable defense. But Qian Renxue's Holy Light Shield was entirely of her own making.
At this moment, Qian Renxue felt a twinge of bitterness. Were they not all wives? Why did she feel so disadvantaged? And it wasn't her fault regarding the matter with Qian Qian all those years ago!
But there was no time for Qian Renxue to wallow in self-pity.
Suddenly, the giant wooden hand clenched tightly, gripping the divine sword she had unleashed and beginning to spawn vines at an alarming rate. Tremendous force surged forth.
Within seconds, Qian Renxue's supposedly divine punishment was shattered.
But that wasn't the end. To Qian Renxue's shock, the giant hand devoured the fragments of her attack entirely!?
Ah Yin urgently called out again, "Qian Renxue, why are you still standing there? Didn't I say the World Tree parasitizes and consumes entire worlds? It has the ability to devour all the laws of a world! Run now, or you'll be doomed if it catches you!"
Qian Renxue quickly fled, but her face was filled with indignation. Did they think she had a poor memory? Earlier, Ah Yin only mentioned the parasitic ability—not a word about consumption!
Soon, Qian Renxue noticed something amiss. As she fled, she hurriedly asked, "Ah Yin, if your World Tree has the ability to consume, why didn't you use it to devour her earlier?"
Ah Yin, equally exasperated, helped Qian Renxue escape by rapidly growing branches from the World Tree while answering.
"I already said it's a world law. Do you think her kindness law is an inherent ability of the world itself?
Her kindness law is similar to your law of judgment—a special rule-based law. It's not on my World Tree's menu, so it can't be consumed."
Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully but then twisted her expression again. This meant that the already difficult-to-fight Goddess of Kindness now also possessed Ah Yin and Bo Saixi's disgusting abilities, making her even harder to defeat!
Wait—if she stole the abilities of those two, why didn't she take mine? Was the Goddess of Kindness looking down on her?
Thinking this, Qian Renxue's expression soured like she had swallowed something foul, and the flames of anger in her eyes burned brighter.
But reality soon proved that the Goddess of Kindness was indiscriminate in her theft—if something was useful, she would take it!
At this moment, a streak of golden light appeared along Qian Renxue's escape route. Seeing the familiar, blinding radiance, Qian Renxue instinctively thought.
"This light looks so much like when I perform spatial teleportation…"
!?
Facing the delicate fist now mere inches from her face, Qian Renxue finally realized—it wasn't just similar; this was her light law ability!
But in that split second, even though Qian Renxue understood, her body couldn't react fast enough to defend. The punch landed squarely on her face, sending her plummeting from the sky like a falling meteor, crashing directly into the ground.
Ah Yin: !?
Bo Saixi: !?
Before losing consciousness, Qian Renxue, sensing the shock of her two companions, mustered her last ounce of willpower to relay the information before she was struck.
"Be careful—she's mastered my law abilities, and better than me. At least… I can't perform such precise light-speed movement within our little world."
With that, Qian Renxue fell unconscious.
Seeing the approaching Goddess of Kindness intent on delivering a fatal blow, Ah Yin, who was closest, immediately changed her expression. She hastily activated the World Tree, generating a mass of vines to wrap around Qian Renxue, pulling her underground under her protection.
At this moment, the Goddess of Kindness, wielding the light law, descended at light speed, smashing into the mass of vines and sending splinters flying everywhere.
Fortunately, Ah Yin's reaction was swift enough to prevent Qian Renxue from suffering a second attack. She even hoped to seize this opportunity to trap the Goddess of Kindness, now outside her pure white world, firmly in place.
But soon, Ah Yin noticed something amiss.
The unattended pure white world was now surging with laws, instantly eroding the sky domain that Qian Renxue had lost control over.
"What's going on? Her main body is out—why is that bizarre world still functioning?"
While Ah Yin puzzled over this, the Goddess of Kindness escaped the battlefield at light speed, giving Ah Yin's cumbersome trees no chance to capture her. At this point, Ah Yin and Bo Saixi finally understood why the unattended pure white world had moved so aggressively.
It turned out the Goddess of Kindness had left her Heart of Kindness within it.
Ah Yin furrowed her brow, murmuring gravely, "False becomes true, true becomes false.
Just now, the Goddess of Kindness merged herself once more, elevating her presence to its peak. Then, dragging the entire small world, she charged toward Qian Renxue, making us believe she intended to fight us to the death.
She only stole and used the abilities of me and Bo Saixi, intending to mislead us into a mental trap.
Such cunning battle wisdom and calculation—is this the strongest god king from the old era? Indeed, she is no ordinary opponent."
Returning to the pure white world, the Goddess of Kindness once again integrated the avatar formed by the Heart of Kindness into her body. Combining this with the stolen authority over the sky, an even more terrifying aura spread outward.
Feeling the sky divine power held by Qian Renxue rushing toward her, Ah Yin's expression changed. She turned to Bo Saixi and said,
"I've already called for reinforcements, Bo Saixi. Now, let's channel our divine power together and do everything we can to trap her here. We can't let her grow stronger!"
Bo Saixi nodded seriously and brandished her Canglan Trident, ready to risk her life to prevent the Goddess of Kindness from becoming even more powerful.
But at this moment, the Goddess of Kindness gave a sinister smile. Instead of attacking Ah Yin and Bo Saixi to kill them, she reversed the stolen sky divine power along with her entire pure white world.
She was going to—self-destruct!
As the Goddess of Kindness reversed her power, one of the foundations of the Three Realms Qiankun Formation instantly collapsed.
As everyone knows, a triangle is the most stable shape. But if only two points remain out of the three, the original plane figure collapses into a single connected line.
At this moment, the Three Realms Qiankun Formation was broken!
Though the formation was shattered, the divine power stolen from Qian Renxue was now firmly in the hands of the Goddess of Kindness.
At this moment, the condensed pure white world, along with the Goddess of Kindness, soared upward, slamming into the barrier above.
"Shatter, you disgusting barrier!"
In the final moments of the pure white world's self-destruction, the Goddess of Kindness, utilizing the stolen light law, escaped the core of the explosion at light speed.
At this point, the perfect cube reinforced by Ah Yin was finally blasted open by an explosion equivalent to that of an entire world.
Once a gap appeared in the perfectly interconnected cube, it meant the six-sided defense had completely failed. The Goddess of Kindness could now utilize her space manipulation abilities, which were even faster than her light-speed movement, to instantly create a spatial corridor and attempt an escape.
But at this moment, the Goddess of Kindness discovered that her spatial abilities were restricted!
"What's going on?" the Goddess of Kindness wondered.
Without waiting for an explanation, Ah Yin and Bo Saixi pursued her, attempting to restrain her once more.
But the Goddess of Kindness didn't ask why her spatial abilities were unusable. Instead, she looked around.
Unbeknownst to her, Ah Yin's perfect cube had already entered the range of the Douluo Planet system.
After the great war with the Formless Demon Civilization, the recovering Douluo civilization had comprehensively fortified its core territory. Without special permission tokens, even Supreme God Kings couldn't disrupt the spatial integrity of this star system and could only travel using other means.
"Troublesome!"
The Goddess of Kindness clicked her tongue in annoyance. Fortunately, she still had some divine power stolen from Qian Renxue, allowing her to continue borrowing Qian Renxue's abilities.
Thus, the Goddess of Kindness transformed into a streak of light, preparing to leave at light speed.
But just as she was about to flee, she paused.
The Goddess of Kindness realized that the array trapping Evil had also entered the range of the Douluo Planet system.
"Should I save him?"
The Goddess of Kindness hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to save him!
After years of learning, she knew well that whether it was a divine domain or these arrays, breaking out from the inside was extremely difficult. From the outside, however, it was different. Especially with her twisting abilities, which were specifically designed to counteract such constructs. Unless the difference in power was too great, she was confident she could shatter it instantly.
