489: Chapter 224 Self-Destruct_6 489: Chapter 224 Self-Destruct_6 Lord Taiyin spoke resolutely, filled with determination.
She was very clear about who she was, because she maintained a conscience and a kindness towards all living beings.
Most ancient gods, deep down, only respected the powerful and lacked any goodwill towards the weaker beings,
But Lord Taiyin was different; from her birth, she had pitied those weaker beings.
When she saw the living beings of the world suffering under her father’s rule, she chose to betray her own parents and join forces with other ancient gods to exile them beyond the heavens.
Although she felt some guilt towards her parents, she never regretted her actions.
In fact, when Changxi and the others sought to return, Lord Taiyin did everything in her power to stop them.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow sneered coldly, contempt written all over his face, “A person who lacks even love for their own parents has the audacity to claim love for the common people, utterly laughable.
Back then, you were merely deceived by Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, fell for a man you shouldn’t have.
Your betrayal of your parents wasn’t for the sake of the common people, but merely for a man.”
At this point, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow scoffed, “And what was the result?
After Eastern Emperor Tai Yi used you, he granted you the title of Lord Taiyin and then discarded you here.
And now you talk to me about pitying the common people, truly laughable.”
Lord Taiyin’s expression grew angry.
She glared at the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and said coldly, “Don’t assume everyone is as despicable as you are; I am nothing like what you think.”
Seeing her annoyed expression, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow laughed heartily, “Angry out of embarrassment?
Too bad, even if you’re angry, it won’t change some facts; you’re not much nobler than me.”
“Are you done talking?”
Lord Taiyin’s expression was icy.
“Of course, I’m done.
Now it’s time to kill you.”
Boom.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s gaze turned frosty, killing intent surging to the heavens.
He locked onto Lord Taiyin and brazenly made his move.
Lord Taiyin’s eyes were cold as she struck back, engaging him in battle.
Here, Solar Fire Essence clashed with Power of Taiyin, powerful divine abilities were unleashed, and the two instantly fought furiously.
The siblings fought each other more mercilessly than strangers would.
They attacked each other with the ferocity of deep personal hatred.
“Killing you and bringing our parents back, that will be my great achievement,” the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow proclaimed arrogantly.
His strength was clearly superior to Lord Taiyin’s, overwhelming her and engaging her in a relentless battle.
Lord Taiyin’s eyes sparkled with cold light as she stated coldly, “Wishful thinking; they won’t be able to return, and you can’t kill me.
Although I am no match for you, don’t forget, this is the star of Taiyin, my home ground.
You don’t have the strength to kill me here.”
“Let’s try then,” the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow said with a faint smile.
His eyes grew cold, and his attacks became more ruthless.
Here, the Immortal Technique blossomed.
Clearly, Lord Taiyin was at a disadvantage.
But Lord Taiyin didn’t care, she kept on fighting, just as dominantly, battling the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
Just as she had said, it wouldn’t be easy for the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow to kill her; it would exact a heavy price and require ample time.
The power of the star Taiyin kept pouring towards Lord Taiyin, using the power of the star to fight the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow to a stalemate.
Looking at them, it seemed that it would be difficult to determine a victor in a short period.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and the others had already arrived in front of the Heaven and Earth Barrier.
Sun Wukong stared at the Heaven and Earth Barrier, which was covered with densely packed Great Dao of Living Beings.
Some were very fine, others as thick as mountains.
Numerous Great Daos of Living Beings of different thickness intertwined, forming a formidable sealing force, completely sealing off the Heaven and Earth Barrier, making it difficult for the ancient gods from beyond the domain to break through and return.
The two inspected the Great Dao of Living Beings on the Heaven and Earth Barrier.
Lu Dongbin suddenly said, “Great Saint, do you feel something is off?
Those Great Daos of Living Beings seem to have decreased.”
Sun Wukong nodded, even Lu Dongbin had noticed, so he naturally could sense it too.
The decrease in the Great Dao of Living Beings was likely related to the recent chaos in the Three Realms.
Fortunately, the extent wasn’t significant,
Otherwise, if the number of living beings drastically diminished, the corresponding Great Daos would also decrease, and at that point, the ancient gods outside might well be able to fight their way back.
This was definitely not what they wanted to see.
Even now, the ancient gods from beyond were constantly assaulting the Heaven and Earth Barrier, seeking to return.
This was also the reason why Lord Taiyin had asked for their help.
At that moment, the two sensed intense mana fluctuations coming from above the Moon Palace.
Both of their auras were familiar to Sun Wukong.
One of them was decidedly the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
The other must be Lord Taiyin.
However, he could clearly feel that Lord Taiyin was not as strong as the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow; there was a gap in their combat strength.
Lu Dongbin also sensed it and couldn’t help saying, “I hope there’s no danger.
We should have let the Great Saint block the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
After all, even if you, Great Saint, can’t beat the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow yet, you do have an Undying Body.
You’re much better suited to buy time than Lord Taiyin.”
Sun Wukong glared at him, saying irritably, “So because I can’t die, it’s okay to beat me to death, is that it?”
Lu Dongbin chuckled and then nodded, “That’s about the size of it.”
Sun Wukong’s hand twitched, itching to whip out his Jingu Bang and take a swing at him.
