Chapter 515
The entire world changed dramatically in an instant, and the chaotic spiritual energy condensed in a moment, converging into a huge vortex that was thousands of feet high.
The vortex was silver, crackling with electricity, and contained destructive power that sent chills down one's spine.
Within the vortex, a man dressed in a silver robe slowly stepped out, his back adorned with dazzling lightning wings, his arms wrapped around him, as if a thunder god had descended.
His features were handsome, his skin was delicate and fair, and there were faint lines on his forehead, indicating that he was not exactly the same as ordinary human cultivators.
The moment he stepped out of the vortex, his gaze fell on Xiao Xingruo and Li Hongying.
"Daughter of Stars, which one of you is it?"
"Forget it, there's no point in distinguishing them, just wipe them all out!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
A cold expression appeared on the silver-robed man's face. He then raised his right hand and grabbed at the void.
In an instant, a vast and boundless power, like a tsunami, surged wildly and transformed into a gigantic hand, hundreds of feet wide, that swept towards Li Hongying and the others.
This is a colossal hand formed from some supreme power, capable of covering the sky.
The moment it took shape, the surrounding space shattered and collapsed, forming a deep and terrifying black hole, with countless dark spatial rifts filling every corner of the sky.
This strike far surpassed that of a Celestial King, and was even among the top-tier Celestial Venerables.
Over these ten thousand years, although Li Hongying has advanced to the Immortal King realm, she is powerless to fight back against such a terrifying Immortal Venerable level enemy!
"Xingruo, hide quickly!"
Li Hongying's expression changed drastically. She quickly shouted and grabbed Xiao Xingruo, trying to escape.
However.
Xiao Xingruo seemed not to hear, standing there blankly, as if she had been scared out of her wits.
"Silly girl! Run!"
In this situation, Li Hongying remembered Xiao Minghuang's instructions. How could she abandon the little girl and escape alone?
"Let's give it our all!"
Li Hongying gritted her teeth, channeled all the Immortal Dao Law into her palm, and unleashed a fierce attack on the massive hand descending from the void.
She planned to withstand the attack.
However--
The next second.
A loud bang suddenly exploded.
The silver-robed man's massive hand, capable of blotting out the sky, crushed the spiritual energy that Li Hongying had unleashed the moment it touched it.
Immediately, the enormous hand, still carrying immense power, continued its relentless assault on Li Hongying and Xiao Xingruo!
"Why hasn't the princess arrived yet!"
Li Hongying looked anxious.
She couldn't understand why, within the Jingyun Heavenly Palace, in the nearby palace where numerous celestial beings, including the princess, were present, they hadn't detected such a terrifying attack.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment the silver-robed man arrived, he had already shifted this space-time to another location.
"Hahaha! The future will be rewritten. Daughter of Stars, this is the end!"
The man in the silver robe laughed heartily, exuding an indescribable sense of ease and pleasure.
In just a moment, he would be able to kill the Daughter of Stars.
Then you can rewrite the future and defy fate!
"Snap!"
A series of shattering sounds echoed from the void.
Immediately afterwards.
The void has cracked open!
"Um?!"
The man in the silver robe frowned slightly as he looked into the rift in the void.
In an instant.
A dazzling light burst forth, so bright and captivating that, in a daze, the silver-robed man felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This is a warning sign from the deepest part of the soul!
"Boom!"
It was accompanied by a deafening roar.
In the void, a crystal-clear finger, radiating a holy light, suddenly reached out!
Only one finger!
But the moment it appeared, an extremely terrifying sense of oppression swept over the silver-robed man's entire senses!
The silver-robed man's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, he activated the Immortal Dao Law within his body, condensing a shield in an attempt to block the attack of that finger!
However--
When that finger reached him, the man in the silver robe realized that he couldn't even resist!
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the crystalline finger pierced through the silver-robed man's chest and plunged directly into the void.
The silver-robed man's body mysteriously vanished, as if it had never existed.
At the same time.
A venomous curse echoed through the void.
"Damn it! Daughter of Stars, this isn't the last time, just you wait!"
"We'll meet again soon!"
"You can't escape!"
The sound drifted further and further away, gradually fading into nothingness.
I don't know which time or space it's in.
Enveloped in a chaotic aura.
A towering figure suddenly appeared, spitting out a mouthful of golden immortal blood.
As the golden blood flowed, it seemed to carry an immense weight, causing even the chaotic energy to become distorted.
"Cough cough cough..."
The silver-robed man coughed a few times, his face deathly pale, his cloudy eyes filled with shock and rage. "Daughter of Stars... Mother of Stars... Damn it! Damn it!"
"Xingruo, how are you?"
Li Hongying quickly helped Xiao Xingruo up and asked with concern.
She could tell that Xiao Xingruo seemed frightened; what had just happened was truly terrifying.
So much so that she couldn't help but want to comfort her.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Xingruo shook her head, then suddenly looked at her, "Are you alright?"
"Hehe, thank you Xingruo your concern, Xiaoxingruo. I'm fine!"
Li Hongying said with a smile.
Although she appeared completely relaxed, her heart was actually in turmoil.
Just then...
The void trembled slightly, Xiao Minghuang emerged from it.
It was she who sensed the spatial and temporal anomaly in the Heavenly Palace just now, and thus rushed over to repel the mysterious silver-robed man.
"Xingruo..."
Upon seeing her daughter, Xiao Minghuang immediately became worried and rushed forward to inquire.
"I'm fine... Xiao Ying seems to be injured, Mom, please check on her."
Xiao Xingruo lowered her head and spoke calmly.
"Xiao Ying?"
Xiao Minghuang glanced at Li Hongying and saw that her hair was indeed disheveled and her clothes were somewhat torn, and he immediately felt heartbroken.
"Sigh, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you two sisters."
Xiao Minghuang felt somewhat guilty, and then solemnly said, "Thank you Xiao Ying. Thanks to you, otherwise Xingruo would probably have been in great trouble!"
"Don't say that, it's my fault for not protecting Xingruo well..."
At this point, Xiao Minghuang suddenly chuckled, "Haven't seen you for a while, Xiao Ying, why are you being so polite with me?"
She instinctively wanted to call herself "elder sister," but then she realized that since she already considered Li Hongying and Xingruo as sisters, it wouldn't be appropriate to address them that way anymore.
"Stop talking about that, what just happened?"
Xiao Minghuang said solemnly.
"It's like this..." Li Hongying briefly recounted everything that had just happened.
"Daughter of Stars? Mother of Stars..."
Upon hearing these two words, Xiao Minghuang quickly understood.
Just now, she could already sense that the aura that suddenly descended did not belong to this space-time; it seemed to be an entity from another space-time that had traveled here.
"Could it be that someone suspects the legendary Daughter of the Stars is Xingruo?"
"Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths, traveling through time and space, in an attempt to harm Xingruo?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Minghuang raised his head, looked into the void, and his eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
She vaguely suspected that those people were the masterminds behind it all.
The situation is now clear: it has split into three camps.
The Heavenly Court, led by the Three Venerables; the Jingyun Immortal Venerable Jingyun Star Domain Longevity Heavenly Venerable; and the New Shanhai Realm, headed by her and Immortal Venerable Qing Guang.
She is friends with Jingyun Immortal Venerable and Longevity Heavenly Venerable, and the New Shanhai Realm and the Jingyun Star Domain are naturally allies.
It is now obvious who attempted to assassinate Xiao Xingruo.
"How are they? Are Xingruo and Xiao Ying alright?"
As soon as Xiao Minghuang returned to the Jingyun Heavenly Palace with her two children, Immortal Venerable Qing Guang and others surrounded her.
"It's nothing... I was just a little frightened."
Xiao Minghuang shook her head.
"It's good that you're alright."
Immortal Venerable Qing Guang sighed softly.
Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, and she said solemnly, "Everyone, I hope you will keep quiet about what happened today and not tell anyone."
"Good!"
The crowd responded.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
"Princess, this matter seems rather strange. How could someone suddenly come to the Heavenly Palace to assassinate Xingruo and Xiao Ying? They are just two children, and Xingruo has been in seclusion with you all this time; no one outside knows of her existence..."
"Immortal Venerable Qing Guang said solemnly."
"Indeed, when that mysterious thief appeared just now, I sensed unusual spacetime fluctuations. I suspect that person does not belong to our spacetime, but comes from another spacetime."
