106: She is different
Because Ying was severely wounded by White Sword and White Blade.
Dawn Moon seized the opportunity to pierce Ying's body with a tail stinger, frantically plundering Ying's Chosen Power.
Ying screamed in pain, realizing she couldn't break free.
How could a woman who had cultivated for thirty years be a match for Dawn Moon, who had lived on the edge for fifty years?
While absorbing Ying's Purification power, she also suppressed Nightmare.
Although Dawn Moon found it a bit strange how Nightmare suddenly became so weak, it no longer mattered.
Seeing death approaching, Nightmare tore open a sub-space, not to escape, but to grab White Ember.
It turned out Nightmare had long prepared a backup plan; once he couldn't control Dawn Moon, he would release White Ember.
Indeed, the moment Dawn Moon saw White Ember, she knew she was finished.
White Ember was surrounded by a Corruption Aura deeper than the night itself.
As the true master of Corruption power, he merely raised his palm, and the Corruption energy within Dawn Moon's body was forcibly drained, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
The dark power that had flowed through her Meridians now transformed into wisps of black smoke, continuously pouring into White Ember's palm.
"Damn it! This is all my hard-earned Cultivation! Give it back to me!" Dawn Moon's proud Corruption energy was betraying her, and her beautiful face twisted with fear as she shrieked hysterically: "White Blade! White Sword! Come save me!"
"Mom!"
The twin brothers, who were preparing to attack Chen Xu, Cheng Xue, and the others in the distance, immediately stopped their assault.
They commanded the Corrupted Titans to let out earth-shattering roars and turned to rush towards Dawn Moon.
White Blade and White Sword exchanged a glance, then simultaneously unleashed their strongest power, their two weapons striking directly at White Ember with world-destroying might.
Facing the attack from his own sons, White Ember's eyes held no warmth.
He formed his fingers into a claw, grabbing at the air: "Rebellious sons, die for me!"
Countless black lines shot out from his five fingers, connecting to the Corrupted Titans.
The Corrupted Titans, who had originally obeyed the twins' commands, suddenly froze in place, their massive bodies trembling slightly as if resisting something.
"Kill them!" White Ember's cold voice echoed across the battlefield.
At this command, the Corrupted Titans turned, aiming their deadly attacks at their former masters.
"No! Father!" White Blade retreated in horror, his weapon clattering to the ground. "We are your sons! Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, how can you... kill us?"
White Sword knelt on the ground, his voice choked with tears: "Please... good father, spare us..."
White Ember's lips curled into a cold sneer, his dark eyes seeing through everything: "Heh! Now you know to call me father? Too late!" His voice suddenly rose, filled with monstrous rage, "Did you think you could hide it from me? My son's Soul was devoured by you two old monsters' Nascent Souls long ago!"
Ming Jian and Ming Dao exchanged a look, and the disguise on their faces instantly faded, revealing their true, hideous forms.
Their skin cracked, revealing the Demon Race's unique scales: "Since you've seen through us..." Ming Jian said with a sinister laugh.
"Then there's no need to pretend anymore!" Ming Dao chimed in, and both simultaneously erupted with astonishing Aura.
Their Cultivation soared, reaching the terrifying Realm of Ascension Realm First Stage in a blink of an eye!
Just as they launched their attack, the Corrupted Titans' giant fists arrived with a thunderous roar!
Ming Jian and Ming Dao disdainfully resisted, not expecting their weapons to be shattered and their internal organs crushed by a single Titan punch.
"How is this possible?!" Ming Jian's eyes widened in terror.
Ming Dao was equally horrified: "These Titans... how could they suddenly become so strong?!"
It turned out that under Dawn Moon's Corruption ability, the Corrupted Giants had a value of 100, but under White Ember's Corruption, it was ten thousand!
The pressure exerted by each Titan was comparable to a peerless expert at Ascension Realm 999th Stage of Great Perfection!
"No—!" Ming Jian and Ming Dao let out desperate screams.
They tried their best to flee, but the Corrupted Titans' fists had already enveloped the entire sky.
That seemingly slow punch, in reality, contained world-destroying power; space itself twisted and shattered under this single blow.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the bodies of the two Ascension Realm experts vanished into thin air under the Titans' iron fists.
Their Nascent Souls couldn't even escape before being completely annihilated by pure Corruption power.
Only two giant fist prints remained on the battlefield, along with scattered ashes drifting in the air.
"White Sword... White Blade..." Dawn Moon's voice was almost inaudible; her gaze was fixed on the two bloody corpses on the ground.
For a moment, a trace of unmasked grief flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.
She straightened her back, raised her chin, and faced White Ember with the most arrogant posture, awaiting death.
White Ember slowly approached, his rough fingers gently stroking Dawn Moon's cheek.
His movements were surprisingly gentle, completely different from his decisive, murderous demeanor just moments before.
"Even at this point..." His voice was low and hoarse, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Dawn Moon suddenly turned her face away, slapping his hand off.
"Get your filthy hands off me! I have nothing to say to you. If you want to kill me, just do it. Stop being so hypocritical!"
White Ember's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with sadness: "You know... I never wanted to kill you. If I truly wanted your life, I would have done it twenty years ago." He stepped closer, staring into Dawn Moon's eyes, "You cut off my limbs, tormented me every day, and yet... don't you feel even a shred of guilt towards me?"
"No!" Dawn Moon declared unequivocally, each word as sharp as a knife, "I used you from beginning to end! Your feelings, your trust, everything about you!"
She laughed hysterically, her laughter shrill, "What's the point of saying all this now? Do it! Kill me!"
Just as White Ember and Dawn Moon confronted each other, Ying keenly seized the opportunity.
Her body erupted with dazzling Holy Light.
Purification!
With her clear shout, two pure white light beams, several meters in diameter, descended from the sky, piercing through Dawn Moon and White Ember's bodies with divine precision!
Ugh ah—
Dawn Moon let out a tragic scream; her body twitched violently in the Holy Light. Already weakened from losing her Corruption power, she was now like a flickering candle in the wind, her life's flame ready to extinguish at any moment.
Her skin cracked, and dark red blood gushed from her wounds.
Ah ah ah!
White Ember roared in fury, his massive palm firmly clutching Ying!
Ying struggled desperately, trying to unleash her Purification power again, but was horrified to find her abilities completely ineffective against White Ember.
White Ember's special ability—Corruption Transfer—could transfer the damage he received to the Corrupted Titans, and the Corrupted Titans' Heaven-Defying value ignored Purification.
This made White Ember a bug!
"Dawn Moon!"
He tremblingly embraced the dying Dawn Moon, and hot tears streamed from his bloodshot eyes, dripping onto Dawn Moon's pale cheek.
Ying watched this scene with cold eyes, a sneer on her lips: "How pathetic and ridiculous. Dawn Moon said she never loved you, and everything she did was to use you. Even now, why are you still so deluded?"
"Shut up!" White Ember suddenly looked up, the tears in his eyes instantly dried by rage. He roared, "She's different! She's different from everyone else in this world!"
White Ember looked down at Dawn Moon in his arms, his gaze incredibly gentle.
"She is the supreme Saintess of Heaven... From the first moment I saw her, I knew... she was different!"
