"Mirror, your ambition has blinded your wisdom, blinded your true spirit. Originally, you had already reached the edge of the Heavenly Dao and were close to earning its favor. But now, you are frantically pushing that favor away. Step back, and you can still take a great leap forward. Continue down this wrong path, and with every step you take, you drift further from the Heavenly Dao's blessing. Mirror, you have lost your way..."
"Shut up!" At this moment, every word from Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan struck Mirror God King's ears like nails on stone. She was already consumed entirely by ambition.
She only wanted to kill this father and son, seize the Taiyuan Great World, and use her own embryonic great world — her own great world's power — to devour the entire Taiyuan Great World. A shortcut. The fastest way to obtain a great world, earn the Heavenly Dao's recognition, and claim a Creation Token!
For this goal, Mirror had prepared for hundreds of thousands of years, endured for hundreds of thousands of years.
At this point, she absolutely refused to take even a single step back. If she retreated now, it would be a lifetime of failure — with no chance of ever rising again.
The problem was, her embryonic Mirror Great World had only been comprehended relatively recently, and its refinement had not reached a particularly high level.
Under the combined assault of Jiang Chen and the Four True Spirits, the Mirror Great World was being tested at every moment.
From outside, Jiang Chen's voice seemed to pierce straight through: "Mirror, release my father, and I will spare your life!"
Though Jiang Chen stood outside the Mirror Great World, in truth they were separated by the space-time of two entire great worlds. The fact that his voice could reach directly into the Mirror Great World meant his power had absolutely reached the level of a Heavenly Emperor.
Mirror's eyes gleamed like a viper's, and she let out a cackling, sinister laugh. "Little mutt, your old man has already been chopped to mincemeat and wrapped into dumplings. Want to come inside and have a taste? A Heavenly Emperor's flesh — quite the delicacy, very satisfying to chew on."
Jiang Chen's heart-fire surged the moment he heard this. "You madwoman! If you so much as harm a single hair on my father's body, I will tear you to pieces and refine your soul day and night for a million years — making you wish for death but never finding it!"
"Hmph, all bluster! Your old man was once so magnificent, and wasn't he still brought low by yours truly? You're a brat who still smells of milk, and you dare challenge me? Watch how I'll deal with you worthless father and son!" Mirror God King spoke as she brought her palms together, then pulled them apart.
In each palm appeared a strange hexagonal mirror shard, as if containing the six directions of heaven and earth. Within those shards, one held the Great Yin, the other the Great Yang.
"Taiyuan, I'll send you to your grave first, and then I'll deal with your little pup!" As she spoke, Mirror crossed her hands, and two beams of light shot forth, merging in midair into a single terrifying supreme attack that hurtled toward Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan.
This power of Yin and Yang contained the most primordial mysteries of all the heavens — a force rooted in genuine comprehension of the origin source.
Boom!
The terrifying Yin-Yang force twisted together and slammed into the golden vortex of light surrounding Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan. With a tremendous crash, the golden vortex could no longer hold and shattered explosively.
Fortunately, when the golden vortex broke, it had also absorbed a portion of the attack's force. What remained still struck Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan's body in a devastating collision.
Divine light flared wildly across Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan's body, and the armor he wore proved its worth at this critical moment. Its radiance contracted sharply, and the defensive structures of the armor shifted and transformed with astonishing speed.
Struck by the full force of that Yin-Yang power, the armor's defensive configuration warped instantly — but it just barely held.
"Old dog, worthy of once being a Heavenly Emperor — a starved camel is still bigger than a horse! But do you really think this Heavenly Emperor's Armor can keep you alive? Your own power has declined, and all your struggling is nothing but futility. Watch me take your life!"
In Mirror God King's eyes, Heavenly Emperor Taiyuan was nothing more than prey. She had been toying with her quarry, wanting to see the ugly spectacle of its struggles before the kill.
