"Actually, he's quite suitable for me."
Liu Zhaodi was in a daze when the calm voice of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden came from the crater.
"He won't have a good ending with you either. It's better for me to carry his will to transcendence. At least I won't break him up with Ning Yanlan, and the two of them will have a proper ending!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden tried her best to hide the turmoil in her eyes as she spoke.
"The divine fire is not yet complete, and my husband is not yet dead. Isn't it a bit too early to make a final judgment now?"
Liu Zhaodi opened her lucky space. She wanted to use luck to summon Jiang Yuan, who was being consumed by flames. With their bond, she could pull him out even from the deepest hell.
"Alright, then let's see your performance!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden calmly watched the churning lava below. She confidently awaited the appearance of the divine fire at the crater's edge, and she was also confident that the divine fire ignited by Jiang Yuan would possess power that would shake the world.
After all, Jiang Yuan's combat power is epoch-making. Among the nine companion gods of the Emperor Star, only Pangu could possibly fight Jiang Yuan at the same level. The other companion gods, including Nuwa, did not have the ability to fight him at the same level. It can be seen that Jiang Yuan, who appeared on the battlefield with a mortal body, has surpassed most of the innate gods.
Time ticked by, and Liu Zhaodi's expression grew increasingly anxious, her eyes filled with growing murderous intent. If Jiang Yuan were to die, then one of them—she or the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—would surely perish today!
She is a lucky charm, but she is also Liu Zhaodi, and more importantly, Jiang Yuan's legitimate wife.
Amidst the raging inferno, the atmosphere turned eerily cold. The killing intent emanating from Liu Zhaodi had already affected Shenshi Mountain, adding an aura of destruction to the already apocalyptic landscape.
Standing at the crater, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden became even calmer. She already knew the outcome. So she jumped from the crater into the Samadhi Flame Sea, which had cooled down by three-tenths. She wanted to take her own divine fire with her own hands, which was her Dao fruit.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, prepare to pay with your life!"
A silver spear pierced through the flames and appeared in Liu Zhaodi's hand. Liu Zhaodi guessed that Jiang Yuan had another body, but it was a fact that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden killed Jiang Yuan. She had to make her pay with her life, otherwise she would be an unworthy wife.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I couldn't take good care of your man!"
Liu Zhaodi silently apologized, then rushed towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"It's not worth it for a man!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden seemed to have anticipated Liu Zhaodi's strong reaction, but she wasn't unprepared. With a gentle wave of her hand, a golden crow leaped into the air from the depths of the magma. "Little golden crow, hold her off for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then I'll take you away and restore the glory of your ancestors!"
With a cry, the Golden Crow rushed towards Liu Zhaodi. This was the same Golden Crow that had previously guarded the essence of the sun. Its seventh-stage Nascent Soul realm pressed down on the entire sea of fire, causing it to tremble.
"Supreme Ruler, Soul Sealing, God Slayer."
Liu Zhaodi's attack was a killing blow; she couldn't let a golden crow stop her, otherwise when would she be able to avenge her husband? So she didn't hold back her divine skills at all.
"Extreme Yang Domain!"
"A body reborn from the ashes!"
The Golden Crow was no pushover either; it was invincible in this sea of fire, and even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could not kill it, so it had no fear of Liu Zhaodi.
The woman and the bird clashed. Although Liu Zhaodi's shots were all critical hits, she couldn't withstand the Golden Crow's immortality. Every time it died, the Golden Crow would rise from the flames, and its strength would increase after each rebirth. Although it couldn't resurrect indefinitely, with this disgusting method, the Golden Crow could hold out for more than half an hour, let alone an incense stick's time.
On the other side, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden calmly walked on the waves of fire, her bare jade feet leaving behind traces of the Great Dao on the lava. With the divine fire imminent and her divine position naturally formed, she, the last companion god of the Imperial Star, was about to embark on that unknown path.
"Jiang Yuan, you should have disappeared in Nancheng with my soul long ago. So, let me, your lover, send you off one last time!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stretched out her hand, and flames continuously gathered in her palm. It was the Great Sun Fire Seed, the divine fire most suitable for her.
Jiang Yuan entered Ning Yanlan's heart, which indirectly affected the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden as well; his inner demons would not be extinguished as long as he remained alive.
Goodbye, my husband!
When the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke the word "husband," she did so with a hint of mockery. No matter how shocking or unconventional it may be, in the end, she still had to achieve her own goals.
He could fail once in Nancheng, and he could fail a second time in Shenshi Mountain; this was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's confidence in herself.
"Really? My dear wife?"
Suddenly, the sea of fire became calm and still, and time and space seemed to freeze at that moment. A hand suddenly reached out from the sea of fire and grabbed the foot of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"You're not dead!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden instinctively drew her sword to stab him. This man dared to so blatantly grab her foot; this was an unforgivable blasphemy.
However, Jiang Yuan was even faster than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. He pulled her off the lava, saying, "You didn't even come. How could your husband bear to die!"
After speaking, Jiang Yuan threw several punches at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. After initially panicking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden fought back bravely and managed to punch back despite the small fist.
What should have been a life-or-death struggle turned into a domestic violence incident.
