Before her words had even faded, Yang Hui suddenly attacked.
She reached into the void with her jade-like hand, and in an instant, an ancient, mysterious treasure mirror radiating boundless temporal and spatial Dao essence appeared in her palm.
It was the top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the Kunlun Mirror.
Yang Hui frantically poured the Daluo power within her into it.
In an instant, the mysteries of time and space erupted.
Brilliant mirror light spread like a blazing sun, instantly blanketing the entire stretch of heaven and earth where man and beast stood.
As the world spun, the surrounding space began to twist layer upon layer, while the flow of time became strange and unfathomable.
Everything turned bizarre and fantastical, as though they had entered an endless corridor of time and space with neither direction nor end.
Tianlu lay atop Cloud Treasure, watching the constantly shifting fragments of time and space around him with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Could this be the legendary power of the Kunlun Mirror?!
As expected of a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure. Its ability to wield the great power of time and space was truly extraordinary.
If an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal were trapped within this temporal-spatial corridor, they would likely lose all sense of direction in an instant and be shredded to nothing by the power of time and space.
Yet when Yang Hui saw Tianlu in danger, he still wore an indifferent expression, even looking somewhat appreciative. She gritted her teeth in fury.
"Arrogant Pixiu, die!"
Yang Hui cried out and activated the Kunlun Mirror once more.
The treasure mirror spun wildly in the air, unleashing the supreme divine ability of Mirror-Light Refraction.
Countless temporal-spatial mirror beams containing the power of Law of Destruction swept toward Tianlu like a raging storm.
At the same time, a terrifying force of temporal-spatial confinement descended with a boom, 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. Not even the slightest ripple appeared in his eyes.
"With such paltry tricks, you think you can deal with me?"
Tianlu snorted coldly and abruptly opened his enormous maw, large enough to devour heaven and earth.
An incomparably pure Law of Devouring surged forth, forming a bottomless, terrifying black hole before his mouth.
"Devour!"
The black hole spun madly, erupting with an irresistible suction force.
The countless temporal-spatial mirror beams, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, vanished into the black hole the moment they touched it, swallowed cleanly by Tianlu without even causing 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 certainly no weaker than the Kunlun Mirror.
"Spatial Reversal, Position Swap!"
With a thought from Tianlu, the void immediately twisted violently.
Yang Hui, who had originally stood at a distance and was preparing to launch another wave of attacks, felt her vision blur as the laws of time and space around her instantly spiraled out of control.
In the blink of an eye, she discovered in horror that she had somehow appeared directly in front of Tianlu's bloodthirsty maw.
The distance between them was no more than a breath.
Before Yang Hui could recover from the sudden displacement through time and space, Tianlu mercilessly thrust his head forward.
"Crack!"
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 devouring force instantly flooded Yang Hui's body, frantically consuming the Daluo power she had only recently gathered.
"Ah!"
Yang Hui cried out in alarm. Feeling her power draining away in vast amounts, she turned pale with shock.
She struggled desperately, trying to raise the Kunlun Mirror in her hand and activate the power of time and space for another counterattack.
But how could Tianlu possibly give her that chance?
His thick, powerful tail suddenly lashed through the void.
"Smack!"
A sharp, explosive 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 hand, hurled by the immense force toward the farthest horizon.
As her power rapidly drained and the Kunlun Mirror left her grasp, the temporal-spatial corridor domain that had enveloped heaven and earth instantly collapsed and dispersed, restoring clarity to the world.
Yang Hui, who had been so lofty only moments ago, had now become a lamb awaiting slaughter in Tianlu's mouth, unable to move in the slightest.
Only after seeing Yang Hui thoroughly defeated did Tianlu release her.
His body flickered, and his tail curled around like a nimble serpent, tightly binding Yang Hui in midair.
Tianlu looked down at this stubborn woman, a mocking smile curling at his lips.
"Well, little girl?"
"You thought breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal meant you could shake me?"
"Wasn't that a little too wishful?"
Hung in midair, Yang Hui felt the emptiness of her drained body and nearly burst into tears.
What kind of shameless monster was this Pixiu?!
They were both Daluo Golden Immortals, so where had he gotten so many heaven-defying divine abilities?!
The Law of Devouring and the Law of Space—he wielded them with flawless mastery. Even with a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure in hand, she had failed to harm even a single hair on him.
Though she had not refined many of the treasure's Xiantian restrictions, she should not have been this utterly helpless.
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 faintly red, and spoke in a small, 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 saint who pitied all living beings.
Moreover, during their recent battle, he had clearly sensed the 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 an unseen backlash from the Great Dao.
At best, they would suffer cultivation deviation and unstable fortune. At worst, they would be directly punished by the Heavenly Dao and perish, their soul and body destroyed.
Tianlu silently deduced the matter 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 authority over Law of Fortune and the Law of Wealth. He could see the unseen destiny decreed by the Heavenly Dao with absolute clarity.
In the original trajectory of the Primordial World, Yang Hui, as the Queen Mother of the West, should have been able to preserve herself wisely in the future great calamity and avoid Duke of the East's tragic fate.
But because she had developed such intense malice toward him, a Pet of the Great Dao, during their battle just now, her own fortune had been severely diminished by the Great Dao.
If that 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 troops of the Demon Race Heavenly Court and ultimately perish in bitterness upon the East Sea Coast.
