Chapter 3188: Mistress

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The gods watched as Zi Zai Tian rose steadily and elegantly, her lotus steps gliding with grace, yet each step echoed with resounding booms through the void.

The eyes of the mortals were filled with fascination.

Rarely did anyone behold Zi Zai Tian’s true form, yet all knew of her unparalleled beauty, like an immortal descended from myth. The visions she manifested were like a magnificent painting, with flower petals drifting from the heavens, each one dreamlike and illusory.

“You have also self-severed.”

“Has the position of Supreme God become so cheap these days?”

“They are all ruthless ones.”

The people of the world craned their necks, their mouths agape in astonishment. Three Supreme Gods had willingly self-severed in succession, a display of audacity that shook the ages. One Ye Chen and Zhao Yun, along with an outer-universe female Supreme God, had driven two Heavenly Dao figures to such self-destruction. This event was destined to be passed down through eternity, becoming an immortal legend.

“Ah, the Supreme God position!”

The ancient gods sighed deeply, many of them stuck at bottlenecks for endless ages, unable to cross that heavenly chasm. Now, seeing Supreme Gods self-sever, their hearts were filled with regret. If you don’t want it, we do!

“It’s one against two— who is stronger, who is weaker?”

“No matter who wins or loses, the cost will be devastating.”

“That’s true, since they self-severed.”

Discussions erupted everywhere, leaving everyone utterly stunned. The courage of these gods truly echoed through history and illuminated the present.

“What a paramour.”

The mad hero cursed under his breath. For that Tai Shang fellow, she was willing to self-sever. Clearly, Zi Zai Tian and Tai Shang’s relationship was no ordinary one. Or perhaps, in secret, they had some divine deal unknown to the world. For a Supreme God to self-sever, that deal must have been incredibly tempting to Zi Zai Tian.

“It’s two against one now.”

Yue Shen murmured softly, her eyes full of worry. Though the female emperor was powerful, she couldn’t withstand the assault of two opponents.

“Those old fellows clearly have no shame.”

Shen Long Dao Zun glanced at the vast expanse. If Tai Shang Tian and Zi Zai Tian couldn’t win, more Supreme Gods might self-sever. They wouldn’t stop until the female emperor was destroyed— such things were exactly what the Heavenly Dao figures would do.

“Damn it.”

Ye Chen’s eyes burned red. First, it was the strong bullying the weak, and now, it was the many against the few.

Zhao Yun said nothing, his silence as cold as ice.

From the moment Tai Shang self-severed, the situation had spiraled out of control. Two Heavenly Dao figures from this universe had self-severed— what incredible resolve. The female emperor was strong, but she was no match for both Tai Shang and Zi Zai Tian.

His judgment was spot on.

The female emperor’s brows furrowed tightly. If it came to a real fight, she couldn’t handle two gods, especially not on their turf.

“Fellow Daoist, let’s part ways here and live in peace.”

Zi Zai Tian parted her lips lightly, her voice as beautiful as life itself, each word like a dancing note, forming an ancient immortal melody that made even gods feel dazed.

“More words are useless.”

The female emperor spoke softly. Since they had self-severed, how could she face the myriad realms if she didn’t bring Ye Chen back?

“Then let it begin.”

Tai Shang roared fiercely, launching the first attack. His Chaos Demon Sea could swallow the vast universe, surging with countless laws.

Zheng!

The female emperor formed a sword from eternity, carving out an immortal river to split the Chaos Demon Sea.

However, before her immortal sword could fully strike, it was hit by a terrifying divine force.

This divine force weakened the sword’s power, even tainting the eternity with specks of imperfection. The laws that should have cleaved the Chaos Demon Sea vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, losing all effectiveness, and she was instantly engulfed by the demon sea.

“Zi Zai Tian.”

The female emperor murmured, glancing at Zi Zai Tian in the moment before the chaos overwhelmed her.

The fearsome divine force that had struck her eternity came from Zi Zai Tian, incredibly strange in nature. It could weaken eternity itself, creating flaws in it, which was why the Chaos Demon Sea remained unscathed.

“As strange as ever.”

The Supreme Gods took a deep breath, their gazes profound, referring to Zi Zai Tian.

In a certain sense, Zi Zai Tian was more unfathomable than Tai Shang. She could weaken eternity and induce flaws in it— something even most Supreme Gods couldn’t do, at least not Tai Shang.

The two complemented each other perfectly, with Zi Zai Tian as the divine-level support.

“Destroy.”

Tai Shang shouted, forming seals with one hand.

Immediately, the Chaos Demon Sea engulfing the female emperor surged with waves, shooting out chaotic light and dancing laws. It was both a seal and a force of annihilation, enhanced by Zi Zai Tian’s divine power, aiming to suppress her completely.

The female emperor remained expressionless, forcefully opening the path of eternity and stepping out of the sea.

It was clear she was wounded, her body stained with fresh blood— streaks of eternal bloodlight, strikingly vivid.

Before she could catch her breath, Zi Zai Tian cast her laws. At the highest peak of the vast expanse, she conjured a bright full moon, its dreamy moonlight pouring down like a great avenue toward Tai Shang Tian. It appeared dazzling, yet it carried destructive power.

The female emperor spat blood; the moonlight was eerily effective, capable of extinguishing eternity.

Tai Shang grinned maliciously, forming seals with one hand to manipulate the rules of time— invisible and formless, yet terrifyingly potent and impossible to guard against. It infiltrated the flaws in the female emperor’s eternity, stealing ninety thousand years of her lifespan.

The female emperor’s expression stayed calm as she struck back with her crystalline jade hand, shattering Zi Zai Tian’s moon.

Uh…

Zi Zai Tian let out a low groan, staggering back a step, likely suffering from some severe backlash, or perhaps struck by the female emperor’s eternal assault. Though she could weaken eternity, she couldn’t ignore it entirely.

Pfft!

Then came Tai Shang, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. He had stolen ninety thousand years of her lifespan, but it was futile. The female emperor reversed it with eternity, returning the lifespan and counterattacking with eternal force, piercing his divine body and nearly severing his primordial spirit.

“Very, very good.”

Tai Shang gritted his teeth, glancing at Zi Zai Tian. “How long do you plan to hold back?”

Ah!

Zi Zai Tian sighed again, etching a divine pattern on her brow. Her flowing hair turned strand by strand into purple, and her laws became complete. Her Dao was so strange that even the female emperor couldn’t see through it, and the oppression from Zi Zai Tian was even greater than from Tai Shang.

In an instant, Tai Shang and Zi Zai Tian moved together.

As before, Tai Shang led the offense, while Zi Zai Tian provided support, each divine ability strangely powerful.

The female emperor showed no fear, facing two against one, countering each move as it came. Unable to see through Zi Zai Tian, she had no choice but to fight this way.

Boom! Boom!

Tai Shang Tian trembled, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring as the three blurred figures clashed amid destruction.

Blood rained down continuously.

It was evident the female emperor was falling behind. It wasn’t that she was outmatched by Tai Shang alone or Zi Zai Tian alone— in single combat, she feared no one. But against two, and with their innate synergy, their Daos and complete laws intertwined in the ether, dancing together.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The eternal bloodlight was strikingly vivid, blooming into dazzling blood flowers across Tai Shang Tian.

Without a doubt, she would fall.

She might even perish completely, teetering on the brink of death with every exchange.

The Supreme Gods saw this most clearly.

Though the three were battling without earth-shaking divine arts, in reality, they were all concealed in the invisible. That level of combat was beyond what the world’s gods could perceive— at any moment, the female emperor could be slain.

“Those two not becoming a couple is truly a shame.”

A Supreme God sighed. Tai Shang and Zi Zai Tian’s coordination was flawless— one for offense, the other weakening eternity. Her divine-level support made the female emperor suffer, with eternity flickering and fading bit by bit.

Pfft!

As the gods watched, the female emperor spat blood again, struck by one of Tai Shang’s eternal attacks and hit in her primordial spirit by Zi Zai Tian. The eternity enveloping her was now badly marred, appearing filthy and tainted from the outside.

Eternity had been eroded, invaded by Zi Zai Tian’s Dao, like armor turned ragged and full of gaps. Once invulnerable to all laws, it now exposed vulnerabilities, which Tai Shang exploited, giving her no chance to breathe. Seizing any opportunity meant total destruction.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

What followed was even more brutal. The female emperor was in full retreat, spitting blood repeatedly.

In contrast, Tai Shang and Zi Zai Tian were growing more dominant.

Especially Tai Shang, like a madman gone berserk, each strike a killing blow.

“Looks like she’s going to fall.”

The world’s gods murmured. In single combat, the female emperor surpassed Tai Shang and Zi Zai Tian, but two against one left her struggling. They had both self-severed, and she was suppressed— Zi Zai Tian seemed to counter eternity specifically.

In this situation, even eternity was distracted and divided.

“And they call it whose territory?” The opposing supreme beings bared their ugly grins, laughing wildly without restraint. One Tai Shang wasn’t enough, so they added Zi Zai Tian. They didn’t believe they couldn’t destroy her.

“Two against one is indeed unfair.”

The Supreme Gods stroked their chins, muttering.

But their eyes weren’t on Tai Shang Tian— they were on the edge of the universe.

More precisely, on Ye Chen and Zhao Yun.

Those two incomplete eternities weren’t behaving themselves, weaving eternity to assault the seal.

“Come down, get down for me.”

Ye Chen snorted coldly, using the Dao Zi Universe to pull the Dun Jia Tian Zi floating outside the furnace.

Surprisingly, the Tian Zi vibrated, showing clear agitation.

Zhao Yun remained silent, veins bulging on his forehead. Though tightly bound, he forced his hand up, etching seal scripts in his palm and placing it on Ye Chen’s shoulder.

Instantly, a mysterious power enhanced the Dao Zi Universe.

“Yong Heng Immortal Domain.”

Ye Chen suddenly turned his gaze, his eyes on Zhao Yun flashing with sharp surprise.

Only now did he realize Zhao Yun had ties to the Yong Heng Immortal Domain.

Perhaps this was the secret Zhao Yun hid, which explained why Tai Shang was so obsessed with him.

In a flash of thoughts, Ye Chen refocused.

With Zhao Yun’s power boosting it, the Dao Zi Universe surged with might, drawing the external Dun Jia Tian Zi. One by one, they fell into the Yong Hen God Cauldron and etched into his body.

Without the Dun Jia seal, their pressure eased dramatically.

Next came the weaving of eternity, and in that weaving, eternity fused.

The so-called Chaos-linked seal became unstable, flickering between illusion and reality.

This seal was hard to break from outside, but from within, it was another story.

Awkwardly, Tai Shang was oblivious, focused solely on killing the female emperor. Once she was suppressed, another eternity would be his.

And a complete one at that.

The world’s gods noticed nothing, all faithful spectators.

Only the Heavenly Dao figures were stroking their beards, sighing and clicking their tongues, underestimating those two eternities.

“Weaving isn’t working.”

“Fusion isn’t either.”

“Then let’s merge.”

Ye Chen snorted coldly, and Zhao Yun did the same. Their dim eyes burst with brilliant light in unison. The woven eternity became fused eternity, and with that fusion came the merging of god and emperor— their Dao roots, primordial spirits, bodies, sources, laws… everything fused inch by inch under eternity’s drive.

The two became one.

Their incomplete eternities complemented each other upon merging, forming a complete eternity.

“Come.”

Accompanied by a roar of eternity, a radiant divine figure burst through the furnace top, forcefully breaking out. Its destructive divine might spread across the universe, smashing the four sealing god steles guarding the furnace and obliterating Tai Shang’s sealing laws and Daos on the spot.
