Under the gazes of Leslie and the War Goddess, four terrifying figures gradually erged from the fissure exuding chaotic energy. They seed to embody the unchallengeable will of The Celestial, and the mont they appeared, a torrential pressure seeped into every corner of the area.
"Sacred Protectors!" The War Goddess squinted her eyes, recognizing the four figures.
In her campaigns against The Celestial, she had faced these four Sacred Protectors multiple tis and was quite familiar with them.
Their power had all reached the level of Primordial Gods, terrifying beyond asure.
Moreover, their existence predated even Loki, the God of Trickery, as they were ancient beings born from chaos, existing long before the creation of realms-a living testant to the passage of epochs.
"They are not to be underestimated. When they join forces, their power surges to
unprecedented levels. But if it's just them, you and I together can definitely defeat them."
The War Goddess spoke seriously.
However, just as her words fell, a heavy sound of footsteps echoed from the sky. Each step seed to tread directly on the hearts of those present, creating a suffocating pressure.
As the sound grew louder, the four ancient figures of The Celestial imdiately moved apart, forming a path of welco.
Soon after, the first Celestial God-Emperor, Tsukihi, appeared.
Ancient energy swirled around her as the flowing hem of her gown accentuated her enchanting figure.
Every movent carried a paradoxical blend of cold aloofness and seductive allure.
Upon seeing the Celestial God-Emperor, the War Goddess's expression darkened abruptly.
"Tsukihi, it's been a long ti. I didn't expect your power to have grown so significantly," she said.
At her words, Tsukihi smiled coldly. "You've aged. Since you've grown old, you should retire to the grave, not resist The Celestial."
The War Goddess was unfazed by Tsukihi's reprimand. After all, Tsukihi's status and influence were unparalleled, even within the strictly hierarchical ranks of The Celestial.
"It's unexpected for you to take the field personally this ti, rather than staying within The Celestial."
Typically, Tsukihi, like other high-ranking mbers of The Celestial, rely issued commands for others to execute, focusing solely on her cultivation.
But now, she had co personally!
Tsukihi ignored the War Goddess's remark and instead turned her attention to the Infernal Reincarnation behind them.
Its presence displeased her greatly.
"Things that are destroyed have no need to be restored."
As she spoke, she raised her jade-like hand, preparing to destroy the Hell Grinder once more.
However, before she could act, the War Goddess leapt into the air, positioning herself as Tsukihi's opponent. She stared coldly at her, and the vision of mountains of corpses and seas of blood surrounding her expanded rapidly, as if to turn the area into an ancient battlefield.
Locked in the War Goddess's aura, Tsukihi remained composed and calmly said, "Why humiliate yourself? With your strength, you are no match for . You're rely courting death."
"Tsukihi, your power is indeed fearso, but I haven't been idle either!"
The War Goddess roared, and countless intricate runes of slaughter erupted from her body, spreading across the broken land of Middle Earth. In an instant, they ford an ancient array that twisted the very fabric of the realm.
The War Goddess's Array-Godslayer!
As the aura of the array surged into the heavens, disturbing the [Order], Tsukihi shook her head.
"This array might work against others, but against , it's nothing more than wishful thinking."
Tsukihi's calm words cut into the War Goddess's heart like an invisible blade.
The War Goddess knew how terrifying Tsukihi was, but being so blatantly dismissed infuriated her further.
"Tsukihi, you're too arrogant!"
Her eyes shone with unyielding determination. Even if she wasn't Tsukihi's match today, even if she fell here, she wouldn't let Tsukihi take a single step forward!
"Begone!"
Tsukihi coldly declared and moved toward the Infernal Reincarnation and Leslie.
At that mont, the War Goddess's eyes blazed with fury as she charged at Tsukihi. "Co on, let's fight to the death!"
As she spoke, the slaughter runes surrounding her resonated powerfully, transforming into countless figures of fallen warriors who had once perished at her hands.
These figures surged forward, roaring as they charged at Tsukihi like a torrent of blood- drenched destruction.
Seeing this, Tsukihi's expression remained indifferent. She rely flicked her finger, and a dazzling point of light shot out.
The mont it collided with the slaughter runes, it exploded into pale moonlight, spreading like a veil over the broken expanse of Middle Earth.
As the moonlit veil passed, the void trembled, and the crimson runes resonating with the War Goddess disintegrated into faint red smoke, vanishing without a trace.
The radiant white light then transford into countless blades, slicing toward the War
Goddess.
At that mont, all of Middle Earth seed to dissipate like a cloud of smoke.
"Your power is nothing before !"
Tsukihi's voice was icy, and white ribbons of light swirled around her, adding an air of supre authority to her presence.
Facing the onslaught of white blades, the War Goddess's face turned pale.
She had already pushed herself to the limit but was unable to inflict any harm on Tsukihi, who effortlessly countered her attacks.
The gap between them was vast, almost insurmountable.
For a mont, doubt clouded the War Goddess's resolve.
But soon, a cold killing intent surged within her.
Even if her strength fell short, surrender was not an option!
"Kill!"
In an instant, the War Goddess roared, unleashing a blinding light from her body. A web of crimson killing intent spread across the heavens, entrapping everything in a murderous
world.
This oppressive force might have overwheld anyone else, but it failed to faze Tsukihi. The countless white swords continued their relentless assault, clashing with the crimson web. Screeching sounds of collision erupted, and a cascade of sparks filled the air as the imnse forces shattered the remnants of Middle Earth entirely.
At this mont, Tsukihi vanished from her position.
The War Goddess prepared to pursue her but was imdiately surrounded by four powerful
auras.
The four Sacred Protectors had reappeared, encircling her completely. Their overwhelming presence was like a raging inferno, sealing off all escape routes.
The War Goddess frowned, realizing that her senses were entirely suppressed by the Sacred Protectors. It felt as if she had been trapped in an invisible cage.
The leader of the Sacred Protectors smirked, his seemingly kind face betraying a chilling
intent.
"War Goddess, the Emperor has important matters to attend to. Let us entertain you for a while. Don't disappoint us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three Sacred Protectors unleashed mana surges akin
to erupting volcanoes, launching a joint attack on the War Goddess. Facing the imminent danger, the War Goddess could only focus her mind, summoning a blood-red shield to fortify her armor before launching a fierce counterattack.
While the War Goddess engaged in a desperate battle against the Sacred Protectors, Tsukihi had already approached Leslie from behind.
She paid no attention to the ongoing fight, her focus entirely on Leslie.
When her gaze landed on Leslie, her cold expression softened into a faint smile.
"Leslie, it's been a long ti."
Hearing this, Leslie turned slowly to face the first Celestial God-Emperor, a figure of imnse power and authority within The Celestial.
After a mont of scrutiny, Leslie's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Yes, it has been a long ti."
The interaction between the two resembled that of old friends, rather than enemies.
This scene left the War Goddess and the four Sacred Protectors visibly shocked.
How could they possibly know each other?
And why did they seem so close? Sothing was definitely off!
