Ah Yin shuddered violently. Her blood vitality and divinity dwindled without cease, her face growing ever paler as she was forced back again and again, defeated at every step. The self-healing power she took such pride in was severely diminished under the ancient tree's planar suppression. Her damaged divine body could no longer mend quickly, and her divine power flowed with increasing difficulty.
For the first time, despair completely engulfed this Blue Silver Emperor deity.
For twenty thousand years, she had relied on the immense vitality gained by parasitizing the Golden Ancient Tree to dominate the continent and sit securely among its highest gods. Her healing and endurance were unrivaled beneath the heavens. Never had she been as helpless as she was today, despairing as her life ebbed away.
The golden branches filling the sky were like the punishments of heaven itself. Every lash shattered vast swaths of her Blue Silver Domain, and every coil devoured another portion of her core divinity. The life force she took such pride in, utterly countered by the plane's origin, had become water without a source, a tree without roots.
The more she drove her self-healing, the more fiercely her essence was consumed. Translucent cracks grew denser across her divine body, and golden patterns of withering spread along her flesh, as though she would crumble completely in the next instant.
Elsewhere high in the sky, Tang Hao, locked in a stalemate with Situ Xuan, suddenly caught sight of his beloved wife in desperate straits, covered in wounds and on the brink of annihilation. His composure shattered instantly.
The false First-Level God power he had barely stabilized fell into chaos. Violent plane authority rampaged through his body, sending stabbing pain through his divine meridians and churning his blood.
"Ah Yin!!"
