Even though they seemed unable to move, anyone observing closely would notice that he was still shielding the woman in his embrace. They were simply fixed in place, not crushed!
"Crackling!"
Several dozen feet of divine might, heavenly punishment, and thunder descended in a torrent!
Converging onto a single point along the beam of light, everyone present dared not even blink, lest they miss a scene that might only occur once in their lifetime!
Divine might, heavenly punishment…
Capable of slaying all existence in this world! Transcending all power, the awakened strength of the God Clan bestowed by the Mother Goddess herself.
"Rumble!"
Light burst forth, blindingly intense!
Long Li Xing tilted his head back, clearly feeling the might of the heavenly punishment at this moment. His pupils contracted slightly, and his brow furrowed sharply! Yet his body was pinned, unable to dodge…
"Crash!!"
"Boom!!"
Deafening roars erupted, as the thunderous heavenly lightning collided, crackling and spitting sparks!
The onlookers couldn't help but display expressions of complex distortion as their gazes fell upon the suddenly appearing black substance. It looked like a piece of iron plating…
This single object had withstood the attack of dozens of feet of heavenly punishment lightning! It had even repelled most of the power, causing it to roar and thrash within the beam of light, explosions echoing incessantly…
Long Li Xing himself was stunned for two seconds, but quickly realized what it was! His gaze rapidly lowered, meeting a pair of bottomless black pupils! A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You're awake!"
But the next second, his body stiffened abruptly! His violet eyes gradually turned shocked and solemn! His hands instinctively clenched, and he spoke, his voice tinged with rare panic and coldness, but more so with tension!
"Who are you?"
At this moment, his body trembled slightly, his expression grave! An intense sense of crisis washed over him, and he felt a panic of losing something precious! Wasn't the soul within this body Jin Bao'er?!
Yet, the woman in his embrace simply stared at him, her black pupils calm and unyielding! Cold and unfamiliar, as if the entire universe and cosmos were reflected within them, but utterly devoid of emotion.
The black iron sphere held on for a few seconds, and then its body began to slide downwards! Even if it wasn't afraid of lightning, it couldn't withstand the pressure of the heavenly punishment's divine might.
Long Li Xing frowned. Without time to ponder where Jin Bao'er had gone, he raised his hand to help the iron sphere. Before he could channel his rule power, a slender white hand stretched out from beside him, touching the black iron sphere before him…
At this moment, an inexplicable power slowly spread within the confined beam of light, quickly dispelling the sensation of being pinned in place!
The black iron sphere was also nourished by the power emanating from the palm. The electric sparks on its metallic surface ceased to flicker. The heavenly punishment's divine might above, upon touching it, acted as if it had encountered an insulator, disappearing completely, leaving not a trace of danger…
Concurrently, Jin Bao'er's body slowly levitated out of Long Li Xing's embrace! Her body was impossibly light, golden power continuously overflowing from her hands, radiating sacred brilliance. The black iron plating rose continuously in her grip, the divine might dissolving…
The surrounding onlookers stared at this scene, their mouths agape! The shock in their eyes was almost inexpressible!
Long Li Xing remained silent throughout, his expression grim. His mind was even considering if this stranger who had suddenly appeared was that Mother Goddess. If Jin Bao'er was the reincarnation of the Mother Goddess, and that person now wished to awaken…
At this thought, his gaze turned cold!
He wondered, was the Mother Goddess easy to kill? If he killed her, would his Bao'er be affected?
The figure ascending into the air momentarily stiffened! Then, she continued to dispel the divine might of the heavenly punishment, a sheen of cold sweat breaking out on her forehead!
What was this guy thinking? This sharp killing intent…
Was she waking up at an inopportune moment? Speaking of which, why did she see this guy the moment she woke up? He looked like he hadn't awakened yet!! She was the Mother Goddess, and this guy wanted to kill her??
Heavens! Did the original owner of this body have a grudge against him? Then why was she lying in his embrace? It was all so confusing! Honestly, she regretted being awakened by the divine might of the heavenly punishment…
With this guy around, the God Clan was nothing!
However, it was too late for regrets!
The members of the God Clan were also dumbfounded, each wearing expressions that suggested they had eaten excrement! Their faces were so complex, they could talk about it for three days and three nights!
By the time the heavenly punishment was dispelled, the black iron plating instantly transformed back into an iron sphere and plummeted down, rolling to Long Li Xing's side. It then spun in circles, excitedly!
Master, look at me! I’m so amazing! Oh ho ho! I’m so awesome!
Long Li Xing, however, gazed upwards without even glancing at it! His eyes were entirely fixed on the figure suspended in the air within the divine hall…
The woman wore a gauze dress, and the light pink shell mark on her forehead shone brightly! Yet her exquisite face had now become blurred, as if covered by a layer of pale golden light, making her indistinct! The gauze floated in the air, her feet bare, exuding an aura of coldness and nobility…
"Di Yun…"
She murmured, her tone seeming helpless, indifferent, and pitying…
All the members of the God Clan trembled! The white-robed man addressed as Di Yun's eyes widened, and he instinctively took two steps back, his body swaying precariously. Just as he was about to say something…
The next second, his words were cut short! The woman suddenly fell from the sky!
Long Li Xing's expression tightened, and he reacted swiftly, flying up to catch her, his gaze fixed intently on the woman with her eyes tightly shut!
Jin Bao'er opened her eyes, feeling intense pain all over! Her face was extremely pale. Fortunately, the suffocating pressure had vanished. She looked up! Towards Long Li Xing, then furrowed her brow, her expression confused and weak as she asked.
"Why are you… What happened?"
As she spoke, she glanced around, noticing that almost all the members of the God Clan had appeared, and their expressions were all indescribably… peculiar? Especially the white-robed man beside them, who looked like he wanted to kill her.
Before she could ask more, a pair of strong arms suddenly embraced her tightly. The force, which seemed to want to fuse her into his bones and blood, made Jin Bao'er frown slightly, but the man's slightly trembling arms allowed her to endure it…
Silence fell between them until the man finally released her.
This was the first time he had ever felt such panic!
She didn't ask, waiting for him to explain.
A moment later, after hearing everything that had just happened, her expression was slightly complex, but she didn't react much!
After all, she had considered her identity before. She had already prepared herself for the possibility of being the reincarnation of the Mother Goddess…
But why had the Mother Goddess suddenly awakened? And why had she disappeared so suddenly? After all, weren't the divine hall's machinations happening precisely because there was no Mother Goddess to keep them in check?
Di Yun's face was filled with complexity, the pale golden scepter in his hand slightly dimmed…
Among the God Clan, the female deity who had been sent flying by Long Li Xing suddenly spoke at this moment.
