Within the pure-white spacetime, the two stood facing each other!
Ye Li gazed into the icy eyes before him, his expression shifting slightly!
The person before him had exquisite features, as though sculpted from white porcelain.
Silver hair cascaded to her waist like a waterfall, and her eyes were a rare fiery red.
She wore a pale-gold dress, her bearing pure and untouched by dust.
The person who had appeared before him was actually-
Ao Li???
The Dragon Venerable's daughter, the dragon who had signed a marriage contract with him?
But compared to her formerly ethereal gaze, those red eyes now carried a pressure Ye Li could not put into words.
It was a pressure more terrifying and unfathomable than facing an Infinite Realm expert, as though he stood before heaven, earth, and all living beings!
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Li immediately understood. Heavenly Will had no actual physical body!
Ao Li had now become Heavenly Will's vessel, like a priestess channeling a god, bearing Heavenly Will in her flesh so it could walk the mortal world.
"Ye Li!"
Ao Li slowly spoke, her voice resembling the resonance of countless great Daos as it echoed through the pure-white spacetime.

"You defied heaven and presumptuously sought to reach the Martial Saint Realm. Now you even wish to defy fate, tamper with karma without permission, and escape heaven and earth's control!"
"If you retract everything now and obediently serve at my command, you may yet atone for your grave mistake!"
Ao Li's ethereal voice echoed, sending a chill down Ye Li's spine.
Before such an existence, he did not even qualify as an ant. It was like a conversation between ink on paper and the person holding the brush-they did not exist in the same dimension at all.
