Listening to the Sound of a Famous Blade Shattering, the Goddess of Life's Legacy!

Looking into Chrysanthemum Douluo's venom-filled eyes, Luo Zixi gave his answer.

"Once I'm safely gone, I'll release her. As for what you suggested, forget it."

What did Luo Zixi have to fear? With Famous Blade on him, even if the other side had the nerve to perish together with him, he was not afraid in the slightest!

"You!"

As an elder of Spirit Hall, he had never been threatened by some insignificant Soul King before!

Yue Guan wanted to strike immediately, but he feared that this madman would drag Hu Liena down to death with him.

Yet at that moment, Luo Zixi failed to notice Hu Liena's fingers twitching slightly, though she had already been losing consciousness and was about to faint.

However, Yue Guan, who stood opposite Luo Zixi, saw it clearly. Right afterward, a trace of life suddenly returned to Hu Liena's previously numb and vacant eyes.

"Chrysanthemum Elder."

The next instant, a pale pink gleam flashed through her dark brown eyes, and a beam of spiritual power shot straight toward Luo Zixi.

That was right. As a pure spiritual-attribute soul master, Hu Liena's willpower was far beyond ordinary. She had been using her consciousness to resist the nightmare-like drowsiness, and she had heard every word of the conversation between Chrysanthemum Douluo and this man in ice armor.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence!"

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo no longer held back. Hu Liena was now a level forty-five pure spiritual-attribute Soul Ancestor.

And with her launching a spiritual attack from such close range, he believed that this person who had only just entered the Soul King rank would definitely be struck!

However, the course of events always seemed to exceed their expectations.

"Ah!"

The instant Hu Liena's spiritual power touched Luo Zixi, she felt an overwhelmingly powerful fluctuation of spiritual power tear apart her all-out strike.

Seeing the attack so close at hand, Xiao Wu instinctively wanted to leap out and use the Invincible Golden Body, the only thing left after her sacrifice. Yet the moment she poked her head out, Luo Zixi shoved her back down.

It was not that he did not want to use it, but Hu Liena would also be covered within the range of Invincible Golden Body.

As the saying went, once you hardened your heart, a great many unnecessary troubles would disappear.

Luo Zixi revealed a strange smile, then directly grabbed Hu Liena's body and used her to block the other party's fifth soul skill.

"No!!!!!"

When Chrysanthemum Douluo saw this, his face drained of color in terror. But how was this possible?! How had the other party directly broken Hu Liena's spiritual strike?!

Whoosh!

Without any surprise, the fifth soul skill effortlessly pierced through Hu Liena's chest. Yet when the attack reached Luo Zixi's heart—

Crack!

Now, listen to the sound of Famous Blade shattering!

Luo Zixi's figure turned illusory at that moment, while Hu Liena, whose neck he still gripped tightly, now had an exceptionally smooth circular hole in her chest.

Pfft!

Having suffered such a devastating injury, a stream of scarlet blood immediately spilled uncontrollably from Hu Liena's mouth. Her limbs hung limply in the air, as though all life had already left her.

And what about Luo Zixi? Aside from his body becoming illusory for five seconds, he had not been affected in the slightest.

"Ah!!!! Damn it! You deserve to die!!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was about to lose the last of his sanity. Hu Liena was dead—killed by his own hand! No, this absolutely could not get out!

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's enraged expression, Luo Zixi's lips curled slightly.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan. As someone who had slipped through the cracks of Blue Star's nine years of compulsory education, he had thoroughly studied Jin Ping—no, the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

Buzz!!

At that moment, a powerful surge of life energy suddenly appeared above Luo Zixi's left hand.

As the possessor of the Wood Spirit Body, his control over injuries was exceptionally precise. Hu Liena's injuries were just right; with his help, she could survive for the time being.

"Hey, hey, she's not dead yet. But if you kill me now, then she'll definitely die."

Looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose eyes were bloodshot and who wanted nothing more than to devour him alive, Luo Zixi was not intimidated in the least. With Hu Liena, the Pope's direct disciple, in his hands, nothing worked better against the other party.

Luo Zixi shook Hu Liena, who had fallen unconscious from excessive blood loss, intending to wake her up and have her prove it for him. Yet even after shaking her repeatedly, she showed no response.

Seeing her "refuse to cooperate," Luo Zixi ruthlessly slapped her hard on the butt.

Smack!

After that slap, the near-dead Hu Liena regained some consciousness from the intense pain and humiliation. But when she felt her neck was still surrounded by a chill, and saw the blood-eyed Chrysanthemum Douluo before her—

She knew that she was still a captive. Moreover, she could feel that if the ice-crystal armor behind her had not been supplying her with energy, she would likely have died long ago.

"Chrysanthemum Elder."

Hu Liena murmured softly. Yue Guan, as a Titled Douluo, naturally heard her whisper.

Seeing that Hu Liena was still alive, the rage in his eyes eased somewhat, but the killing intent in his gaze toward Luo Zixi only deepened.

At the same time, within the God Realm, in the Life God Temple.

A breathtakingly beautiful girl in an emerald-green dress lay in a cradle woven from flowers, staring curiously at the crystal ball in her hands.

"It had been a long time since I'd met such an interesting and handsome little boy. Still, being able to forcibly pull someone on the verge of having their soul scattered from the gates of death meant he had potential."

The girl in the green dress curled her lips into a lovely smile, but soon murmured softly again.

"Although what he did was indeed the optimal solution, the hostage is a girl after all. He should be gentler with her."

At this moment, the Goddess of Life's willow eyebrows were curved, her cheeks puffed out. Where was the bearing of a goddess in her appearance?

"That guy Destruction is truly desperate. Pure destruction and life cannot blend together. We've worked together for tens of thousands of years, yet he still doesn't understand that."

"I treat him like a brother, yet he wants to hit on me!"

"No, I can't let this inheritor slip away again. Once I leave, I'll go to the outside world and find my own love!"

As the Goddess of Life lightly drew her flawless white finger downward, a green-gold ray of light shot almost instantly from the God Realm straight toward the Douluo Continent below.

At the same time, within the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Luo Zixi was still confronting Chrysanthemum Douluo. By now, the other party understood clearly that if Luo Zixi stopped restoring Hu Liena, she would surely die.

At last, Chrysanthemum Douluo no longer dared to cause trouble. He merely stared coldly at Luo Zixi.

"I take her and leave, and we both live. Or you kill me, and we both die. Choose for yourself."

Luo Zixi did not care for multiple-choice questions. He still had Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year-level Invincible Golden Body.

So long as the other party dared to attack, Hu Liena would definitely die. As for himself, he could still risk severe injury and escape the other party's pursuit.

"Kid, you'd better remember what you said. If she dies, you'll become Spirit Hall's number one target!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo still refused to give up, trying to use Spirit Hall to pressure Luo Zixi.

However, at that very moment, an Emerald Green light descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Luo Zixi!

A terrifying emerald divine power immediately crushed Chrysanthemum Douluo to the ground, leaving him unable to move.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's pupils were filled with horror.

"A god!"

The Goddess of Life in this story is my own reinterpretation: a pure spirit of life, flawless and untouched by worldly corruption.

So her personality may be rather innocent—what the protagonist would call overly saintly.

Later on, it will be the love-hate entanglement between the Goddess of Life and the protagonist.

The Goddess of Life's later circumstances will be like Liu Shen and Shi Hao's, except their relationship will be more intimate. (A reminder: she is one of the female leads.)
