Had she not used her natal magic treasure to shield herself within that golden light, Yaochi Golden Mother would likely have been slain long ago.
Jade Emperor stood outside the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, looking at Yaochi Golden Mother's injuries. Though his eyes were filled with rage, he had no intention of entering the formation.
Instead, he placed all his hopes on Taishang Laojun.
Looking at the gods of the Heavenly Court, then at the expression Taishang Laojun revealed, Li Changsheng finally understood that the Heavenly Court was not united as one.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng immediately increased the circulation speed of the Sword Qi within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
As Li Changsheng activated the Immortal Slaying Sword once more, a powerful sword light slashed down at Yaochi Golden Mother.
Yaochi Golden Mother had little strength remaining, and Li Changsheng's sudden attack with the Immortal Slaying Sword struck the protective golden light around her body.
It instantly cracked apart. With a thunderous boom, Yaochi Golden Mother was sent flying once again.
When Jade Emperor saw that Li Changsheng still dared to attack at such a moment, a vicious look appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, Taishang Laojun lightly waved his hand, sending a strand of Yin-Yang Qi into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
That strand of Yin-Yang Qi then transformed into a protective barrier, shielding Yaochi Golden Mother. After preserving her life, Taishang Laojun spoke.
"Li Changsheng, spare Yaochi Golden Mother this time. No matter what, she is a righteous deity of the Heavenly Court and attained the Dao during the era of the Heavenly Emperor."
"If you kill her, it would be equivalent to severing one of the great pillars of our Primordial Chaos world."
"Though she was at fault before, she was not entirely to blame.
