Boom—
A piercing explosion of energy tore through the clouds like thunder. A hundred meters above the cruise ship, two figures carrying world-destroying auras collided violently.
A dazzling torrent of energy, radiant as the blazing sun, erupted outward in a ring from the point of impact. Visible shockwaves surged wildly in every direction, knocking the people on deck off balance. They covered their ears and staggered back, their faces pale as paper.
Whoosh—
The seawater around the cruise ship boiled violently under the impact of the residual energy. Countless bubbles surged up from the Deep Sea, and the surface churned like a pot of boiling water, sending up a vast white mist.
Soon, a graceful figure fell from the sky like a butterfly with broken wings.
Splurt—
Ye Xinglan's golden hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Blood spilled from the corner of her lips, dyeing her collar crimson. A Sea Cucumber Trident, black as ink, had pierced straight through her chest. Thick blood dripped from its tip, glinting with an eerie purple light beneath the sun.
She could clearly feel that her heart had already been crushed to powder. Even though the Violent Ancestor Worm inside her was frantically moving through her meridians, trying to repair her injuries, it could not reverse her certain death.
Ye Xinglan's gaze dimmed. Even with the Violent Ancestor Worm desperately suppressing her injuries, how could it possibly suppress an injury as severe as a shattered heart?
"Cough, cough... In the end, I was still one step behind." Ye Xinglan's eyes gradually dimmed as her consciousness began to blur.
Memories flickered through her mind like a lantern carousel: her childish figure practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard as a child, the sweat-soaked days of cultivation at Shrek Academy, her valiant bearing at the Star Luo Continent
