309: Chapter 309 Forbidden Domain! Life Blossoms!

Watching the Void Emperor, whose life or death was unknown, being held like a trophy in hand.

A trace of madness flashed in the depths of Empress Luyin's eyes; her Divine Soul trembled violently, and without hesitation, she activated the deepest link with the Tree of Life!

"Life Bloom, Forbidden Domain!"

"Hum—!"

Billions of brilliant fluorescent points began to emerge upon the Tree of Life, which was rooted in the starry sky.

If one were to look closer, it was clearly countless Elven tribespeople sacrificing their own light!

Empress Luyin's long, pale golden hair danced wildly in the wind, and from her pair of exquisitely beautiful emerald eyes, erupted a verdant green divine light capable of piercing the darkness.

Behind her, a phantom of an ancient tree that shot straight into the sky, as if it could support the entire Star Domain, slowly appeared before everyone's eyes!

"Boom!"

Under the reverse nourishment of the Tree of Life's infinite foundation, Empress Luyin's cultivation instantly broke through the shackles of the Middle Stage and stepped into the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm!

But at the same time, a painful expression appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

A continuous, vast power swelled crazily within her body. Although her Saintly Body of Life was powerful, the physical limitations of her Physical Body meant she simply could not withstand this life force that exceeded her limits for long.

If she did not vent it out, she could explode and die at any moment!

"Natural Healing!"

Empress Luyin suddenly held up the firmament with both hands, crazily venting the life force that had accumulated in her body to the point of going berserk!

In an instant, countless fine rains of verdant green spiritual power, like a divine miracle descending, slowly drifted down from above the Nine Heavens, covering the entire Star Domain battlefield.

The rainwater fell upon the surviving Emperors and Cultivators of the Star Domain side, turning into endless vitality.

Those severed limbs and bone-deep wounds began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even their nearly exhausted Immortal Qi was recovering crazily!

Yet, when this green rain fell on the Realm Demons, it became the deadliest poison in the world!

It was an extreme Dao power that completely repelled the corrosive Devilish Qi within them. The moment the raindrops touched their bone armor, pungent "sizzling" black smoke emerged, and large swaths of low-level demons were melted into blood in their wails.

"Roar!"

The two Black Demon Commanders saw this and immediately opened their Devilish Qi shields, protecting the Devouring Worm in the center.

As strategic killing weapons specially bred by the Hive to target the Tree of Life, their orders were to protect the safety of the worm at the cost of their lives.

"This Tree of Life is indeed very strong; no wonder Mother is so eager to obtain it!"

One of the Black Commanders felt the baptism of the rain, the stinging sensation of its skin being scorched by the vitality making its demonic eyes become even more scarlet and violent:

"However, thinking that mere drizzle-like area damage could hurt us…"

However, before its words could finish, its brows suddenly furrowed fiercely.

"Puchi—!"

An extremely horrific scene occurred!

It was seen that on the bodies of the countless demons that had just been drenched by the green rain, tender green branches had weirdly broken through their bone armor and grown out!

And these branches, at a terrifying speed that defied common sense, instantly sucked dry the nutrients within the demons, bearing strange, bright red, dripping fruits!

"What is this?!" The Emperors of the Star Domain side were shocked.

And accompanying the execution of this move, Empress Luyin's aura also showed a clear weakening.

Subsequently, Empress Luyin parted her red lips slightly and coldly spat out one word:

"Explode!"

"Boom boom boom boom—!!!"

Tens of millions of red fruits exploded in every corner of the demon camp!

The terrifying life-repulsion explosion directly blasted the sea of demons for tens of thousands of miles into a vacuum!

The two Black Commanders were also panicked; unable to care about counterattacking, they hurriedly contracted their defensive lines, using their massive demonic bodies to protect the Devouring Worm that had almost been shattered by the aftermath.

Empress Luyin seized the opportunity!

"Go!"

Countless massive branches, as thick as mountain ranges, instantly stretched out from the ancient tree phantom, like countless strangling Dragons, crazily winding towards the two Black Commanders!

These branches, which had originally emitted a tender green fluorescent light, began to slowly become dim and dull after extending out of the Life Star Domain's barrier and coming into contact with the corrosive aura of the demon territory, their defensive power greatly reduced.

But the two Black Commanders dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

According to the Hive's analysis, the level of this Tree of Life was at least at the Peak of the Emperor Realm! It was just that it, like the Hive, belonged to an extremely special existence.

They dared not forcefully withstand the strangulation of the branches and could only retreat crazily while protecting the worm.

However.

Empress Luyin's true target was never the two Black Commanders standing in battle formation!

"Swish!"

When the feigned attack of the sky-filling branches ended, Empress Luyin's figure disappeared from where she was and subsequently appeared beside the Black Commander holding the Void Emperor!

The dense and violent life force made that Black Commander instinctively feel a sense of disgust and repulsion.

When enemies meet, they are especially jealous; there was no need for any superfluous nonsense.

Empress Luyin did not use any Magic Treasure, but directly raised her slender, fair right leg, carrying the terrifying power of the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm, tore through the Void Realm, and kicked fiercely towards the Black Commander's head!

"Courting death!"

The Black Commander was completely unafraid; it was renowned for its powerful Physical Body and had absolute confidence in collisions between bodies.

Its free left hand clenched into a fist, and it punched towards the Empress's attack!

"Bang!!!"

Two extreme powers collided fiercely in the starry sky!

The terrifying counter-shock force caused the surrounding space to collapse instantly.

Empress Luyin let out a muffled groan, her delicate body uncontrollably retreating half a step, her Qi and blood surging.

In the dimension of pure Physical Body, the Demon Commander, which had been genetically modified by the Hive, was even more perverted than Empress Luyin after Life Bloom!

Empress Luyin knew deeply that her forcibly elevated state could not last at all, so she put her full strength into every attack.

Close-quarters combat was never her strong suit, but at this moment, she had no other way to snatch the Void Emperor back from the opponent's hands!

This was not because she had a deeply profound personal relationship with the Void Emperor.

Rather, as the Star Domain side, if the Void Emperor sacrificed himself to stand out and delay time, and she just watched him being taken away as a trophy for the sake of self-preservation…

Then this barrier of her state of mind would turn into a Heart Demon, trapping her cultivation for this life forever at this step!

"Boom!"

Just as Empress Luyin was preparing to launch another attack, the other Black Commander, having shaken off the entanglement, had already arrived with violent Devilish Qi, flanking and supporting from the side.

Being caught in a pincer attack by two Demon Gods of the same rank, the Empress's heart sank completely to the bottom.

She knew that she no longer had any hope of saving the Void Emperor.

Not only could she not save him, but if she were slightly careless, she might even fall here herself.

Just at this critical moment.

The Void Emperor, who was being held in the Demon Commander's hand, saw his originally dim and transparent figure sway slightly.

He woke up.

When he discovered that he was being held in the Black Commander's hand like a chick, and that Empress Luyin was desperately falling into a dead end to save him.

This proud, veteran Great Emperor of a lifetime sighed.

His still-blurred face turned towards Empress Luyin, and with a weak yet incomparably resolute voice, he transmitted his final Divine Thought:

"Luyin, retreat."

"Rest assured, even if this old man's Divine Soul is completely destroyed… they will never be able to obtain this old man's spatial power!"

Hearing this, Empress Luyin's pupils shrank violently.

She naturally knew what the other party was going to do!

The Void Emperor… he was going to completely detonate his own Emperor Dao fruit, using the most tragic self-destruction to trade for his final dignity!
