The battle in Snowfall City was still raging as Ye Yun led the women towards Mount Xuan'ao.
The overlapping of two Creation God Domains had warped the fabric of space-time, completely severing Snowfall City's connection with the outside world.
No one knew what was happening within the city walls. Even the flow of time had become erratic, a testament to the power of Creation God Domains.
Endless snowflakes swirled around Xue Mian, who stood with unwavering resolve. This was her world, her creation, and she would defend it.
"Xue Mian, Snowfall City will fall today!"
"Give up your struggle and retain some dignity."
"All who oppose this Emperor shall die!"
Black Emperor's eyes glowed crimson, the dark aura within his armor intensifying. The power of the Black Soul God Domain continued to surge, bolstered by Leng Qianqiu's Ghost Spirit God Domain, creating an impenetrable defense.
"Black Emperor, the price you pay for destroying my Snowfall City is not enough."
Xue Mian's long hair whipped in the wind, her divine staff still radiating a brilliant light.
Deep within Snowfall City, countless Heavenly Gods and Main Gods watched this scene with immense sorrow.
"Protect Lady Xue Mian, protect Snowfall City!"
The roar of a multitude of powerhouses echoed, their homeland, their responsibility to defend.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, within Snowfall City, a colossal energy cannon erupted from the ground. This was the city's ultimate weapon—the Sorrow of Snow!
A great number of powerhouses rushed to the cannon's location, surrounding a massive energy accumulator.
"Ah!"
They roared, their potent divine power surging into the accumulator.
"Zzzzt!"
Under the combined efforts of everyone, the energy accumulator emitted a blinding radiance.
This energy was amplified thousands of times by the accumulator, unleashing an attack comparable to that of an Extreme-level Main God.
"Rumble!"
The massive energy projectile shot forth, its target revealed to be the Ghost Spirit Warship.
"Ghost Lord!"
The powerhouses aboard the Ghost Spirit Warship were stunned. They had expected the blast to target the Black Soul Warship, but they were mistaken.
"What?!"
Ghost Lord Leng Qianqiu's face contorted with shock. She glared at Xue Mian, who offered a disdainful smile.
"Xue Mian!"
Leng Qianqiu roared in anger, but attacking Xue Mian now was futile. She turned and flew towards her Ghost Spirit Warship.
After all, the warship was a critical asset; its destruction would significantly weaken the Ghost Spirit Domain.
"Ghost Lion!"
"Roar!"
The Ghost Lion ascended anew, and Leng Qianqiu, riding it, charged towards the Ghost Spirit Warship.
However, the energy cannon's attack speed far surpassed that of the Ghost Lion. As the cannon neared the Ghost Spirit Warship, Leng Qianqiu's brow furrowed, and she unleashed her attack.
"Vengeful Ghost Chains!"
Her palms clawed outwards, sending waves of vengeful spirits hurtling towards the Ghost Spirit Warship.
These spirits formed a massive protective layer around the vessel just as the cannon's blast arrived.
"Rumble!"
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens, the powerful energy blast shattering the surrounding space. The sheer might of this attack was truly comparable to the desperate strike of an Extreme-level Main God.
The Vengeful Ghost Barrier shattered mid-air, but the attack's power continued to grow. In fact, it was being amplified by the power of the Snowfall God Domain as it progressed.
This meant that Xue Mian, though seemingly inactive, had covertly empowered the strike.
Consequently, the attack's power was imbued with Creation Rule, making it something Leng Qianqiu could not possibly resist.
"Bastard!"
Enraged, Leng Qianqiu threw out her Vengeful Ghost Sword.
The blade spun wildly in mid-air, releasing torrents of ghost energy, yet it still could not withstand the continuously escalating cannon fire.
"Hmm..."
Witnessing this, Black Emperor's gaze turned cold as he pondered whether to intervene.
"If Leng Qianqiu is defeated, it will not only be a devastating blow to our morale but also detrimental to my long-term plans!"
"It seems I cannot stand idly by."
Black Emperor suddenly swung his arm. A dark chain, embedded within the Snowfall God Domain, surged out like a dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling directly towards the Ghost Spirit Warship.
"Roar!"
As it traversed the air, the chain transformed into a dark dragon form, latching onto the light sphere attacking the Ghost Spirit Warship.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle!"
Dark lightning continuously attempted to devour the light sphere before it, but the sphere's power was equally formidable, leading to a stalemate.
"Xue Mian, you're dreaming if you think you can cripple the Ghost Spirit army with a single blow."
"Black Emperor, this is just the beginning. None of you will escape!"
Xue Mian's eyes turned crimson, her chilling killing intent causing even Black Emperor to shiver. He wondered if something was amiss with this woman.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then show me some real skill."
"As you wish!"
Xue Mian raised her divine staff, and the surrounding space warped once more.
...
In the void of the Nine Heavens, the Banana Leaf Fan carried Ye Yun and the others towards the chaotic region where Mount Xuan'ao was located.
Along the way, they witnessed many wondrous sights, filling them with joy.
The disciples, in particular, frolicked and played, fully embracing the happiness of the journey.
"Master, look! Those luminous creatures floating in the void are so marvelous!"
"These creatures seem capable of absorbing divine power from the void. They're truly incredible."
"Divine power is incredibly scarce in the void. These lifeforms are so resilient."
The disciples pointed at colossal, jellyfish-like creatures drifting through the void. Their movements were slow, but the shimmering points within them contained immense energy.
"These Floating Light Jellyfish are native inhabitants of the void. The Great Thousand Worlds are full of wonders, and this is nothing special," Ye Yun said, shaking his head as he observed the school of Floating Light Jellyfish.
"Oh my, Master is so knowledgeable! Perhaps you could explain to us how many other wondrous creatures exist in the void?"
"Yes, yes, Master, please tell us."
"Whoa, whoa, don't praise me too much. Your Master is also a newcomer to these Great Thousand Worlds, just like you. I learned most of this information from Meng Ji."
Ye Yun quickly waved his hands, unwilling to let these girls catch him out. Otherwise, who knew how much trouble would ensue.
"Meng Ji, that's the guy ranked fourth on the talent list."
"He was only a Hundred-tier Heavenly God back then. I wonder how he managed to get fourth place."
"Don't be so narrow-minded. Master wasn't even a Hundred-tier Heavenly God back then, but ranked first!"
Fang Zhiwei's reminder brought a surge of happiness to all the women.
"That's right, Master is the strongest!"
They all turned to look at Ye Yun, who feigned ignorance and continued to admire the Floating Light Jellyfish.
At that moment, the Banana Leaf Fan suddenly emitted a warning signal.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yun's expression turned serious as he gazed into the depths of the void…
