Before her words had even faded, Yang Hui struck.
She grabbed at the void with her jade-like hand, and in an instant, an ancient, mysterious treasure mirror radiating endless Space-Time Dao essence appeared in her palm.
It was the Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the Kunlun Mirror.
Yang Hui frantically poured the Daluo power within her into it.
In an instant, the profound mysteries of space-time erupted.
Brilliant mirror light spread like a blazing sun, instantly enveloping the entire stretch of heaven and earth occupied by the woman and beast.
As the world spun, the surrounding space began twisting layer upon layer, while time's flow became bizarre and unpredictable.
Every sight turned strange and distorted, as though they had entered an endless Space-Time Corridor with neither direction nor end.
Tianlu lay atop the Cloud Treasure, watching the ever-shifting fragments of space-time around him with a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.
Could this be the legendary power of the Kunlun Mirror?!
As expected of a Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure. Its means of wielding the mighty power of space-time truly are extraordinary.
If an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal were trapped within this Space-Time Corridor, they would likely lose their way in an instant and be shredded by the power of space-time until not even scraps remained.
Yet when Yang Hui saw Tianlu in danger, he still looked utterly unconcerned, even wearing an appreciative expression. She was so furious that she gritted her teeth.
"Arrogant Pixiu, die!"
Yang Hui cried out and activated the Kunlun Mirror once more.
The treasure mirror spun wildly in the void, unleashing the supreme divine ability of Mirror-Light Refraction.
Millions upon millions of space-time mirror beams imbued with the power of Law of Destruction descended upon Tianlu like a raging storm.
At the same time, a terrifying force of space-time confinement crashed down like countless invisible chains, binding Tianlu's body tightly and leaving him nowhere to evade.
Feeling the crushing pressure around his body, Tianlu remained expressionless, without even the slightest ripple in his eyes.
"With such petty tricks, you think you can deal with me?"
Tianlu snorted coldly and suddenly opened his enormous maw, vast enough to devour heaven and earth.
An incomparably pure Law of Devouring Great Dao surged forth, forming a terrifying bottomless black hole before his mouth.
"Devour!"
The black hole spun madly, unleashing an irresistible force of suction.
The millions of space-time mirror beams, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, vanished the instant they touched the black hole like rivers flowing into the sea. Tianlu swallowed them all in one breath without even a ripple.
Immediately afterward, the Law of Spatial Great Dao within Tianlu roared into motion.
He was a Daluo Golden Immortal who had mastered the Law of Space. In this regard, he was no weaker than the Kunlun Mirror.
"Spatial Reversal, Position Swap!"
With a thought from Tianlu, the void immediately twisted violently.
Yang Hui, who had been standing at a distance and preparing to launch another wave of attacks, suddenly felt her vision blur as the laws of space-time around her instantly fell into chaos.
In the blink of an eye, she discovered in horror that she had somehow been moved directly in front of Tianlu's blood-filled maw.
The distance between them was practically nonexistent.
Before Yang Hui could recover from the sudden displacement through space-time, Tianlu unceremoniously thrust his head forward.
"Crunch!"
Tianlu clamped his jaws tightly around Yang Hui's lower body.
Of course, he did not use force to crush her Dharma body. Instead, he directly activated the Law of Devouring.
A terrifying force of devouring instantly flooded Yang Hui's body, beginning to ravenously consume the Daluo power she had only recently condensed.
"Ah!"
Yang Hui cried out in alarm. Feeling her power rapidly draining away, her face changed drastically.
She struggled desperately, trying to raise the Kunlun Mirror in her hand and once again use the power of space-time to counterattack.
But how could Tianlu possibly give her that chance?
His thick, powerful tail suddenly lashed through the void.
"Smack!"
A crisp, thunderous crack rang out.
Tianlu's tail was like a divine whip, striking Yang Hui's wrist with perfect accuracy.
Yang Hui cried out in pain, and the Kunlun Mirror immediately flew from her grasp, hurled by the immense force toward the distant horizon.
As her power drained rapidly and the Kunlun Mirror left her hand, the Space-Time Corridor domain that had covered the entire world instantly collapsed and dispersed, restoring clarity to heaven and earth.
Yang Hui, who had been lofty and untouchable just moments before, had now completely become a lamb awaiting slaughter in Tianlu's jaws, unable to move in the slightest.
Seeing Yang Hui thoroughly defeated, Tianlu finally released his bite.
His body flickered, and his tail coiled around like a nimble spirit snake, binding Yang Hui tightly in midair.
Tianlu looked down at this stubborn fool, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Well, little girl?"
"You thought breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal meant you could shake me?"
"Isn't that a little too fanciful?"
Dangling in midair, Yang Hui felt the emptiness of her depleted power and was on the verge of tears.
What kind of shameless monster was this Pixiu?!
They were both Daluo Golden Immortals, so where did he get so many heaven-defying divine abilities?!
The Law of Devouring and the Law of Space—he wielded them with absolute mastery. Even with a Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure in hand, I did not manage to harm so much as a single hair on him.
Though I have not refined many of the treasure's innate restrictions, it should not have left me without any ability to resist.
After struggling a few times and realizing she could not break free from Tianlu's tail at all, Yang Hui's pride was finally shattered completely.
She lowered her noble head, her eyes slightly red, and spoke in a soft, aggrieved voice.
"I... I know I was wrong."
"I am willing to owe you an immense karmic debt, Dao Brother. Please be magnanimous and do not hold my offense against me."
Tianlu looked at her pitiful appearance and sneered inwardly.
He was no kindhearted soul who pitied all living things.
Moreover, during their exchange just now, he had clearly sensed the extremely intense malice Yang Hui had developed toward him.
As a Pet of the Great Dao, born bearing the Law of Fortune of the Great Dao.
Any living being who harbored malice toward him would suffer the unseen backlash of the Great Dao.
At best, they would suffer qi deviation and unstable Law of Fortune; at worst, they would directly face punishment from the Heavenly Dao, their bodies and souls perishing.
Tianlu silently performed a deduction in his heart.
If he did not erase the backlash upon her now, then even if he spared her today,
Yang Hui would inevitably encounter an unimaginable killing calamity at some point in the future and perish completely.
As an Auspicious Beast Pixiu, Tianlu was born with control over Law of Fortune and the Law of Wealth, allowing him to see the unseen fates decreed by the Heavenly Dao with perfect clarity.
In the original trajectory of the Primordial World, Yang Hui, as the Queen Mother of the West, could have remained unscathed during the great calamity of the future and avoided the tragic fate of Duke of the East.
Yet because she had developed such intense malice toward him, a Pet of the Great Dao, during their battle just now, her own Law of Fortune had been severely diminished by the Great Dao.
If this backlash were allowed to continue eroding her, then one day in the future, Yang Hui would inevitably end up like Duke of the East, besieged by the countless armies of the Demon Race Heavenly Court and ultimately fall in hatred upon the East Sea Coast.
