C2366 Three Women Playing a Game(1)

"Shut up!"

Harris and Kurkova simultaneously chastised Zhiya with fury in their voices.

In their respective worlds, the reputation and exalted status of the God of Destiny, Stephanie, had deeply embedded itself in the hearts of many. Otherworld origin gods like Harris and Kurkova revered her as both a deity and an object of worship.

Zhiya's words, therefore, naturally enraged the two otherworldly deities.

"Shut up? You think you two are in any position to demand that?"

With a cold snort, Zhiya swiftly exited the Dragon Slaying Stage and floated in the Land of Nothingness.

A surge of purple demon energy burst forth from her being, and the once miniature Phoenix Shrine, acquired from Yu Zhu, suddenly expanded, towering behind her in the void.

The grand Phoenix Shrine blazed with an infinite crimson glow, the intricate bloodlines coursing through it, amplifying her formidable presence.

In her mind, no one but Yu Yuan, who had achieved Great Perfection of Life, had the right to rebuke her.

Not even the Great Demon God, Bertain, was an exception!

The Death God, an Otherworld visitor, had aided her archrival's ascension to Undead Sovereign, fueling her long-standing resentment.

Upon arrival at the Dragon Slaying Stage, she laid eyes on Chen Qinghuang and the body of the Undead Sovereign, Yu Yuan, who appeared to have been in close companionship for some time.

Already seething with anger, Zhiya could no longer contain herself after Kurkova's provocation.

She pointed her delicate finger at the Death God and declared sharply, "A deity of your caliber doesn't even register on my radar!"

"Oh, really?"

Kurkova, from another realm, noticed Zhiya's readiness to engage in battle and gave Harris a glance, signaling him to stand down.

The God of Oblivion, initially eager to enter the fray, reluctantly turned his gaze towards Bertain.

The seasoned demon chuckled and gave a nod, "Let them have at it."

Harris instantly stood down.

"I'm curious to see just how powerful you are, Dark Phoenix, to dare slander Lady Stephanie!"

Kurkova, her expression icy, soared towards the battlefield, mirroring Zhiya's movements.

Boom!

Behind Kurkova, a forest of Wraith Trees materialized, their towering forms a fitting match for the desolate expanse.

Hundreds of thick Wraith Trees radiated an intense aura of death, creating a force field that exuded desolation and demise. Kurkova, the Death God, had seemingly harvested an immense death force from the obliteration of numerous small worlds, using it to cultivate these Wraith Trees. Provoked by Zhiya, she unleashed the Wraith Trees, determined to severely discipline the frenzied Dark Phoenix.

"I'll show you!" Zhiya shrieked before Yu Yuan could intervene, transforming into her original purple phoenix form and diving towards the sea of Wraith Trees.

With a gentle flap of her violet-gold wings, Zhiya conjured a storm of violent lightning, demon energy hail, and towering flames that bombarded the Death God's Wraith Tree sea. Meanwhile, the grand Phoenix Shrine was relocated above the Wraith Trees, imposing the Way of Heaven's deterrence and serving as a replenishing blood bank for Zhiya's depleted vital energy.

"Do you also seek to make a scene?" Yu Yuan turned his gaze to the Secular Bird Queen.

Having just ingested the Spirit of Destruction and the Spirit of Poison into the Soul Altar, the Secular Bird Queen rose abruptly from the Wellspring of Creation. Without uttering a word, Chen Qinghuang took to the skies!

She first assumed the colossal form of the Azure Bird, then manifested a majestic Divine Visage with three heads and six arms atop the bird. With a resounding crash, she plunged into the sea of Wraith Trees, causing divine radiance to erupt and the cosmic order to fracture within.

The catastrophic force field, manifesting as waves of energy, detonated throughout the Wraith Tree sea, reducing many to ashes. Amidst the dense haze of sawdust, the Secular Bird Queen cried out, "The Dark Phoenix's adversary is me!"

Chen Qinghuang, with her three heads and six arms, unleashed the forces of death, destruction, and poison, confronting Kurkova with a visage wreathed in the breath of ruin.

"Hmm?" Bertain let out a surprised exclamation, scratching his head. "Even though the Spirit of Destruction and the Spirit of Poison are no longer present, she has somehow managed to imprint their Cosmic Orders of destruction and poison within her."

In that moment, the Secular Bird Queen stood as a supreme entity, a fusion of the three cosmic rules of death, destruction, and poison. As she descended into the Wraith Tree sea, she astonishingly divided into two.

The Azure Bird swooped toward the Dark Phoenix Zhiya, while her three-headed, six-armed Divine Visage launched an assault on Kurkova.

"Galuba died because of me."

Chen Qinghuang had a habit of touching on sensitive subjects, bluntly stating that she was responsible for the God of Destruction's demise, "If you seek vengeance, then direct it at me."

"Traitor, I've been trying to draw you into the Underworld, yet you continually spurn my kindness!"

Kurkova was immediately provoked, abandoning her fight with Zhiya to engage in a fierce battle with Chen Qinghuang's formidable Divine Visage.

The leafless branches of the towering Wraith Trees, resembling dreadful blades, and others as pliable as serpents of death, entwined themselves around Chen Qinghuang's majestic Divine Visage from all sides.

The law of mortality, once refined, transformed into a dense white river, encircling Chen Qinghuang's Divine Visage.

Not far off in the Land of Nothingness, three exquisite women engaged in a fierce battle.

The enmity between the secular bird and Zhiya ran deep, and their encounters invariably led to bloodshed, with few exceptions.

This time, the fray was joined by the Otherworld's Death God.

"It's quite the drama with three women in the lead."

The Old Devil smirked, indifferent to the fallout of their clash.

He seemed unconcerned about who would survive or perish in the end.

He even let out a sly laugh as he glanced at Ji Ningshuang, another sovereign being, and remarked sarcastically, "I'd like to see that girl Yuan Lianyao join the fray, along with all of you. Here in the Land of Nothingness, devoid of celestial bodies or living beings, it's the perfect stage for a conflict of this magnitude."

The Old Devil reveled in the chaos, eagerly anticipating the spectacle, even exchanging knowing glances with Yu Yuan.

Empowered by the Way of Heaven, Ji Ningshuang, now a sovereign being, stood unflinching on the Dragon Slaying Stage, her sword in hand, as if she were an ancient block of ice, enduring through the ages.

When the old demon tried to provoke her, Ji Ningshuang simply closed her eyes, choosing to ignore him.

Yu Yuan, with the Dragon Slaying Stage and the Wellspring of Creation on his back, watched the three women fighting with his eyes that shone like Hex Stones in a multitude of colors.

He had no intention of intervening in the fight.

...

In the Domain of Origin, within the Genesis Nebula, the Book of Time drew powerful beings from all realms. Once they truly entered this inner universe, they were wrapped in an ineffable, vast energy.

Taishi, Canli, Qi Yunhong, and Youyu, amidst the most enigmatic reaches of the Star River, felt an abundant energy that resonated with their own Way of Heaven.

The rich and pure earth energy flowed into Taishi from every direction, mingled with many profound rules that even Mother Earth had not bestowed upon Taishi.

Energized, Taishi raised his arms and exclaimed, "This place is a true treasure!"
