448: Chapter 448 Goddess Blocks Tribulation! From Ruthless Rules to a Devoted Wife's Transformation

She faced the pure white light of destruction, capable of melting all things.

She opened her arms.

That wide, purple Flowing Immortal Dress fluttered violently in the raging energy gale, outlining her slender yet resolute back.

Xu Chen's pupils constricted abruptly, and his heart seemed to skip a beat at that moment.

"Come back! Who told you to come out!"

Xu Chen let out a roar, his eyes splitting with rage.

He forcibly swallowed the Emperor's blood surging in his throat, ignoring the tearing pain coming from his Meridians. His Peak Emperor Realm Hongmeng Qi and Blood exploded, transforming into a violent stream of purple-gold light as he threw himself desperately toward the beautiful figure ahead.

It was too late.

The explosion speed of the Heavenly Dao Origin core transcended the boundaries of space and time.

In that pure white Domain where even the Dao Laws were vaporized, Shen Xi slowly turned her head.

On that stunning face, which had captivated the ages, there was no fear of death. She looked at Xu Chen, who was desperately rushing toward her, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, blooming into a smile as stunning as the spring breeze melting snow.

It was the first time since her birth that she had laughed from the bottom of her heart, without reservation.

"Husband."

Shen Xi's voice was very soft, yet amidst the roar of the collapsing Heavenly Dao, it was clearly imprinted deep within Xu Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

"It was you who taught me that the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world are much warmer than that cold Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions."

"This Heavenly Temple gave birth to me and raised me; today, I shall return this life to it. From now on, I owe the Heavenly Dao nothing, and I will only be your wife, Xu Chen."

The moment her voice fell.

Deep within the center of Shen Xi's brows, the last remaining trace of the Goddess Origin, representing her highest status in this Universe, was ignited by her without hesitation!

Brilliant, dazzling dark golden divine fire erupted from her limbs and bones.

She did not mobilize any attack techniques, because she knew deeply that in the face of the power of an entire era self-destructing, any attack would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

What she did was sacrifice.

Sacrificing her divine status, sacrificing her Divine Soul, and even sacrificing the traces of Karma that she had ever existed.

"In my name, Shen Xi, Forbidden Laws, Absolute Barrier, Defend!"

Shen Xi's ethereal and melodious shout resounded through the Nine Heavens.

The dark golden flames burning with the Goddess Origin transformed into a massive shield, spanning one hundred thousand zhang, flowing with profound Heavenly Dao runes, in front of her outstretched arms.

This shield blocked firmly in front of Xu Chen, and also protected the Purple-Gold Divine Carriage behind and the tens of millions of the Myriad Realms Allied Army tightly behind her.

"Boom—!!!"

The next moment.

That pure white torrent of destruction, expanded ten million times, like a Universe behemoth that had lost its mind, slammed fiercely into the Absolute Barrier condensed by Shen Xi.

"Crack... Cracking..."

Two forces of the same Origin, yet representing completely different wills, engaged in a most desperate crushing.

On the surface of the barrier, ripples of terror visible to the naked eye spread out.

Shen Xi, positioned directly behind the barrier, trembled violently.

Each impact of the torrent of destruction was equivalent to placing her Divine Soul on a millstone and repeatedly crushing it.

Fine blood cracks began to burst open on her snow-white, jade-like skin.

Bright red blood stained that purple Flowing Immortal Dress.

"You are not allowed to die! This Emperor commands you, you are not allowed to die!"

Xu Chen finally withstood the repulsive force capable of tearing apart an Emperor's body and rushed behind Shen Xi.

He opened his arms and hugged that swaying, delicate body tightly from behind. The Great Perfection Realm Hongmeng Heaven-Swallowing Art ran in reverse, and the vast Hongmeng Creation Qi was frantically injected into Shen Xi's body as if it were free, attempting to repair her rapidly fading vitality.

"It's useless..."

Shen Xi leaned weakly against Xu Chen's broad chest, her face as pale as a sheet of transparent paper.

She struggled to lift a blood-covered hand and gently placed it on the large hand Xu Chen was using to hold her waist.

"This power... someone must neutralize it. I am an Incarnation bred by the Heavenly Temple; my Origin is the only thing in this world that can drag down its pace of eruption."

Shen Xi gasped for air, her life force already weak to the extreme.

She lowered her head, looking lovingly at her still-flat lower abdomen. Inside it, the Primordial Divine Fetus was emitting a soft golden light, safe and sound under the protection of Xu Chen's Hongmeng Creation Qi.

"Take good care of... our child."

"Bang—!"

As the last few words fell from Shen Xi's mouth, her burned-out Goddess Origin finally reached its limit.

The Absolute Barrier that had blocked the most fatal wave of destruction shattered completely into a sky full of golden light rain amidst a crisp, mournful cry.

The remaining aftermath of the explosion whistled past.

Shen Xi, having lost the support of her Origin, was like a silver butterfly with broken wings, completely losing all strength in Xu Chen's arms, falling downwards limply.

At this moment.

The wind above the Nine Heavens seemed to have stagnated.

On the Purple-Gold Divine Carriage behind.

Su Qingge, Wu Mingkong, and the others covered their mouths tightly, their eye sockets red.

Although they had once been rivals standing on opposite sides from Shen Xi, at this moment, the determination this cold Goddess showed to protect Xu Chen and the Xu Family completely won everyone's respect.

Li Cangyue even gripped the railing of the Dragon Carriage tightly with both hands, her nails deeply embedded in the divine metal, her crimson eyes full of shock and heartache.

That cold, emotionless Heavenly Dao lackey she had looked down upon.

Had actually achieved a sacrifice that even she, the Forbidden Taboo Demon Emperor, dared not easily gamble on.

In the center of the battlefield.

Xu Chen tightened his arms around Shen Xi's gradually cooling delicate body, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

He lowered his head, looking at that peerless face with eyes tightly closed and devoid of color.

Looking at that long dress stained dark purple by blood.

A violence, heartache, and fury that could not be described in words erupted from the bottom of Xu Chen's heart like a dormant volcano that had been suppressed for ten million years.

"Who allowed you to act on your own?"

Xu Chen's voice was terrifyingly low, like a cold wind blowing from the deepest depths of the Nine Nether Hell.

He reached out his blood-stained hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Shen Xi's mouth.

"My woman, even if the King of Heaven himself comes to collect her life, he must first ask the sword in my hand!"

Xu Chen raised his head.

Those originally deep purple-gold eyes were now completely replaced by a shocking crimson.

The pressure of the Peak Emperor Realm, stimulated by that extreme emotion, began a crazy rise that defied common sense.

That was the monstrous rage belonging to an absolute Dominator.

"System! Turn it up to the maximum for me!"

Xu Chen let out a violent roar in his Sea of Consciousness.

He didn't care at all what damage this remaining torrent of destruction would cause to himself; he directly mobilized all the Hongmeng Creation Origin Qi in his body, transforming it into an absolutely closed purple-gold light cocoon, wrapping Shen Xi, who had only a trace of weak breath left in his arms, firmly inside.

Immediately after, Xu Chen held the light cocoon with one hand and grabbed into thin air with the other.

The zhu xian sword embryo stuck in the ruins let out a heaven-shaking long cry and automatically flew into his palm.

In front.

Although the Heavenly Dao Origin core had its most fatal eruption neutralized by Shen Xi, the remaining energy still turned into a vast white sea of death fire, attempting to completely engulf Xu Chen.

From the depths of the sea of fire, the hiss of the Ancient Divine Venerable, filled with resentment and unwillingness, could be faintly heard.

"She actually betrayed the Heavenly Temple! It's useless, you will all turn to ashes here today!"

"Turn to ashes?"

Xu Chen held the sword with one hand, his black hair dancing wildly in the energy gale.

His crimson eyes stared fixedly at the sea of destruction fire in front of him; the barrier of the Emperor Realm, which had troubled countless Prodigies of the Myriad Realms, made a crisp cracking sound in front of his monstrous rage and absolute power.

"Crack..."

Accompanied by this imperceptible crisp sound.

The spiritual power in Xu Chen's body was no longer purely purple-gold, but began to transform into a more profound, more primitive Chaos luster.

That was a supreme power that transcended all rules of this Universe and was capable of redefining all things in heaven and earth.

The opportunity to break through the Realm arrived with a boom in this desperate situation of ten deaths and no life, accompanied by Shen Xi's sacrifice and Xu Chen's fury.

"Old thing, you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, hurt my woman."

Xu Chen lowered his head slightly, took a look at Shen Xi wrapped in the light cocoon in his arms, and a flash of extreme tenderness crossed his eyes.

Subsequently.

He raised his head abruptly; the zhu xian sword embryo in his hand let out bursts of terrifying, irrepressible sword cries, and the light flowing on the sword no longer belonged to the category of an Emperor.

"Die for this Emperor!"

Xu Chen roared to the sky, holding his severely injured and dying wife with one hand, and waving the peerless divine weapon that was about to shatter the old era with his right hand.

His whole person turned into a crimson lightning bolt piercing through the void.

Facing that pure white sea of fire capable of destroying heaven and earth, he took the initiative to launch the ultimate judgment belonging to the Co-Lord of the Heavens.
