Chapter 523
The next moment.
Xiao Minghuang remembered!
"The Eastern Pole Emperor!"
Xiao Minghuang exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief.
The Great Dao incarnate, and its appearance is exactly the same as that of the former Eastern Pole Emperor!
"Incredible!"
She was filled with astonishment and disbelief, utterly shocked.
"You remembered?"
The Great Dao avatar spoke calmly.
"Is it really you?"
Yes and no.
"...?"
"Are you surprised?"
"Perhaps you will satisfy my curiosity."
"No."
The Great Dao avatar shook its head. "Your path has come to an end. Whether you know it or not, what's the point?"
Xiao Minghuang was speechless for a moment, then coldly snorted, "Let's fight!"
"It's no longer necessary..."
As the voice rang out.
The Great Dao manifested itself, raised its hand, and gently grasped.
Whoosh~
In an instant, the surrounding void froze, time and space were frozen, and the universe collapsed.
An incomparably terrifying power erupted from the palm of the Great Dao Incarnation, tearing through the void and shattering the vacuum.
This was an incredibly terrifying burst of fist energy!
With just one punch, he shattered all of Xiao Minghuang's attacks.
The next second, Xiao Minghuang's chest was pierced through, a burst of blazing light erupted, her physical body exploded, and her soul was almost wiped out!
602. System Source: The Death of the Princess
At the same time.
The Great Dao manifested once more.
His palms, like clouds hanging from the sky, grasped Xiao Minghuang's vast little world entirely.
On his palm, countless mysterious runes shone with dazzling light.
Suddenly, Xiao Minghuang felt a strange power erupt, filling every corner of her small world.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Minghuang's little world began to crack inch by inch.
Those mysterious runes, seemingly possessing the power to devour everything, were frantically eroding her little world.
It was as if all rivers flowed into the sea; the power belonging to Xiao Minghuang rapidly flowed out of her body, seemingly heading towards its true destination!
"Ah!"
Xiao Minghuang roared in agony, feeling as if his whole body was about to explode, unable to bear it any longer.
She was like a deflated balloon, her cultivation rapidly draining away. In the blink of an eye, she fell from the peak of Immortal Venerable, dropping out of the Immortal Dao Domain!
Even the Saint Realm and King Realm were difficult to maintain, and he eventually turned into the Spirit Seed Realm!
"What's going on?!"
"How so!!"
Xiao Minghuang's mind went through a dramatic change; she was filled with shock and rage.
She actually broke through at this moment, falling from the Immortal Venerable Realm to the Spirit Seed Realm!
"My cultivation level... how could this be!"
She gritted her teeth, her hatred overflowing.
"Stop struggling. You should know in your heart that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Every gift from fate comes with a price. Now, it's time for you to pay it all back."
The Great Dao avatar spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang trembled with fear.
If someone else had said that, she would have scoffed at it.
However, the Dao Incarnation's words were clearly pointed, especially since they came after stripping her of her cultivation!
These words clearly imply that her cultivation level was not something she achieved step by step, but rather something that came out of thin air.
Now, it's time for her to pay back everything!
"It seems you've come to your senses."
Xiao Minghuang clenched her fists tightly, her face contorted with anger, but even more so with helplessness and dejection.
Over the years, her progress has been rapid, which, apart from a bit of luck, is entirely due to the system's assistance.
But now she finally understands that the system was bestowed upon her by the Great Dao.
These powers can be given to her easily, and taken away just as easily!
And she was utterly powerless to resist!
"Alright, it's time for your story to come to an end."
The Great Dao avatar spoke calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he spread his five fingers, as if enveloping a whole world.
The palm print crashed down, causing the void to collapse inch by inch, and everything would cease to exist.
"Is it over...?"
Gazing at this scene, Xiao Minghuang murmured to herself.
In an instant.
She seemed to remember a lot.
That was long ago, those scenes from the past.
At that time, she had just received a precious pill from the system and was overjoyed...
Perhaps, without the system and that elixir, she would probably have died in some unknown corner of the cold palace.
"I've been here before..."
Xiao Minghuang closed her eyes.
A slight smile appeared on her lips.
In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the past, reminiscing about those bygone days.
However, the anticipated destruction did not occur.
She opened her eyes.
Suddenly, a slender and tall figure appeared in front of her, shielding her from the devastating blow!
"Xingruo?!"
Xiao Minghuang was stunned.
At this moment, standing in front of her was none other than her daughter— Xiao Xingruo!
"Xingruo, run!"
Xiao Minghuang shouted anxiously.
If only she had faced death calmly a moment ago.
But after Xiao Xingruo appeared, the situation changed completely.
She couldn't bear to let her daughter die before her eyes!
"Mom, don't be afraid, let's go together!"
Xiao Xingruo revealed a bright smile, blocked the attack of the Great Dao Incarnation, quickly retreated to Xiao Minghuang's side, picked up the already powerless Xiao Minghuang around the waist, and ran away into the distance!
The Great Dao manifested as a frown.
He could clearly sense that all the life force in Xiao Minghuang's body had been completely annihilated, and her soul was on the verge of collapse!
This attack caused Xiao Minghuang too much damage.
"Can they escape?"
He spoke indifferently.
With a single thought, endless array patterns appeared across the entire world, sealing off all directions and trapping Xiao Minghuang and her daughter within.
The Great Dao avatar waved its sleeve, and a majestic aura immediately spread out, like a mountain torrent, fiercely suppressing the two of them!
Rumble!
Void oscillation.
Xiao Minghuang's body suddenly stiffened.
"Xingruo, you should leave quickly. Mother has already lost her cultivation. Even if she escapes, she won't live for many more years..."
Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but say.
She didn't want her only child to die with her.
"Mom, believe me, we'll get through this together!"
However, Xiao Xingruo persisted and led Xiao Minghuang in a charge in another direction!
Her eyes were full of stubbornness as she held Xiao Minghuang tightly in her arms.
"The Daughter of Stars is indeed extraordinary; only a few days after her birth, she can already rival me..."
"Perhaps..."
While pondering, the avatar of the Great Dao ceased its attack, simply watching the beam of starlight disappear into the distance, until it vanished at the edge of the universe.
In the vast Milky Way.
A streak of light, like a comet, pierced the void.
Within the starlight, there stood Xiao Minghuang and her daughter.
"Xingruo, over here!"
Suddenly, a voice came.
Xiao Xingruo looked up and saw Li Hongying's figure.
"Sister Xiao Ying, what brings you here too?"
