At the same time, Song Wanníng launched her attack against the red evil energy.
These red evil energies carried a dense, corrosive power.
The moment Song Wanníng got close, she felt her breathing tighten. If it touched even a bit of her skin, it would instantly corrode a gaping hole. And this force was twisted—no defensive cultivation power could stop it. There was no other choice. Song Wanníng directly called down the Zixiao Divine Thunder.
Boom—
A deafening roar shattered the air as the Zixiao Divine Thunder descended with crushing pressure.
The rules of the Immortal Realm were incomparably stronger than the lower realms, and the power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder only grew as it struck.
The divine thunder slammed into the formation.
The once-raging red evil energy instantly shrank back, as if terrified, scattering in every direction. The surging lightning enveloped the entire formation, trapping both Tian Li and the red evil energy.
Tian Li panicked and tried to hide, but the formation blocked every escape route. He couldn't avoid the lightning and was struck.
Spit—
Blood burst from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground, his knees digging a deep pit into the earth.
The lightning gradually faded, and much of the red evil energy was gone. But the formation remained stubborn. It trembled slightly before countless red evil energies sprang forth again, charging at Song Wanníng.
Song Wanníng's expression tightened. She had no choice but to call down thunder again.
Boom—
Divine thunder crashed down once more, submerging the entire formation again. The thunder kept falling, relentless as an endless torrent. Even the stubborn formation began to show signs of faltering under repeated strikes.
Tian Li, however, suffered far worse. He was struck repeatedly, and though each strike only carried a fraction of the full power, it still left him seriously injured.
Even worse, his mind was clouded with frustration and humiliation. He never expected he'd end up being the one trapped. That damn Song Wanníng just stood there, perfectly fine, watching. And to make matters worse, he couldn't understand why her cultivation power hadn't diminished in the slightest.
During their battle in the daylight, he'd sensed a clue. He only assumed Song Wanníng had deep cultivation power, but after repeatedly calling down the thunder, she still showed no signs of fatigue…
Could her cultivation power really not decrease?
Impossible.
A ridiculous thought flared in Tian Li's mind, one he couldn't suppress. His heart pounded violently. If it were true, wouldn't he be struck to death by divine thunder?
Tian Li's mind jolted. Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to attack Song Wanníng.
But boom—another deafening thunderbolt fell.
Tian Li was blocked again, slammed face-first into the ground, choking on dust as his body trembled under the electric surge. The rise and fall of pain was endless. At that moment, no one could see the depth of Tian Li's frustration and suffering.
Even the Heavenly Dao of the Mùsù star system earned his resentment.
Boom—
Thunder struck again.
Song Wanníng watched coldly, feeling nothing but satisfaction.
Tian Li, who had once been arrogant, now couldn't even form a word, looking completely miserable. Yet the formation still offered some protection; otherwise, Tian Li would already be dead.
Red evil flashes darted everywhere, but Song Wanníng's eyes remained firm, unshaken. The chaotic, murderous scenes unfolded before her, but they couldn't stir any killing intent within.
At this moment, she felt as if everything was already predestined. She had first encountered the Hunyuan Heart Scripture, perhaps foreseeing this very situation.
What seemed like a contest between her and the intruder was actually a struggle between two Heavenly Daos.
A cold light flickered in Song Wanníng's eyes. The main battlefield—the Heavenly Dao of this world—would inevitably dominate.
The Heavenly Dao of the Mùsù star system wanted to conquer?
Not so easy!
Song Wanníng felt an urgent thrill. She longed to witness the complete collapse of the Mùsù star system.
Boom—
Divine thunder fell again. Song Wanníng darted through it, attacking Tian Li. At this point, Tian Li was no longer the forceful combatant he had been. His attacks were weaker. A few moves later, Song Wanníng's sword pierced his chest.
Blood gushed, soaking his robes. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, eyes dimming. But he gritted his teeth, unwilling to admit he'd been abandoned.
Song Wanníng attacked while striking at his heart.
"Tian Li, the Heavenly Dao of the Mùsù star system doesn't want you anymore—
Hehehe, do you think you'll survive today? Tsk, you're really stupid. I've seen no less than ten invaders from the Mùsù star system, maybe five or six actually…
But you? You're the unluckiest of them all. They all lived comfortably, opportunities falling into their hands…
But in the end, they all became sacrifices. One down, many more remain…
You? You're just one of them…"
Her words pierced Tian Li's heart like a sword. He had already felt resentment, but now his face darkened, his fury multiplying. His mind was shaken, and his actions were driven purely by self-preservation.
Chaos in the mind breeds chaos in thought.
With divine thunder still raining down, Tian Li quickly became gravely injured, his energy fading. His eyes burned with unwillingness. He roared at Song Wanníng,
"Song Wanníng, you really think killing me will leave you untroubled? If I were you, I'd only choose to cooperate with me…"
His mind wanted self-preservation, but his mouth still spat defiance.
Before crossing over, his life had been miserable. Finally arriving in this new life, he refused to die here. The Heavenly Dao of the Mùsù star system had promised him supreme honor…
Now, it was all gone. He had to survive.
Tsk—
Song Wanníng laughed.
Regret?
"Tsk, if you'd suggested it earlier, I might've spared you. But it's too late. I don't need you anymore."
A playful glint flashed in her eyes. "Garbage abandoned by the Mùsù star system, I won't stoop to it."
This was as heart-piercing as killing could get.
Tian Li's rage exploded. He could no longer control his anger and charged at Song Wanníng.
But the divine thunder struck again.
He was thrown into a pit, spitting blood, nearly losing consciousness.
Song Wanníng, smiling, shook her head. "See? The Heavenly Dao of the Mùsù star system isn't trying to get me. They're aiming for you!"
Tian Li's eyes burned with hatred.
"Song Wanníng!!"
