Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The icy, bone-chilling seawater surged back in, and in the ruins of the secret chamber, hundreds of Star Spirit Guards who rushed to the front did not even have time to utter a scream before their bones were crushed by the sudden burst of Xuan Guang Realm pressure emanating from Jiang Yining. They all knelt on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, and died on the spot.

This terrifying, utterly irrational, instantaneous crushing force plunged the entire deep sea into a deathly silence.

However, the Star Spirit Commander, who was hovering at the very top and had a peak Mahayana cultivation level, suddenly twisted his expression after a brief moment of horror.

He was the vanguard commander of the Star Spirit Clan, with the blood of countless powerful cultivators on his hands. How could he be scared out of his wits by a woman who had just given birth?

"Arrogant bastard!"

The commander stared intently at Jiang Yining, who stood proudly below him. His electronic eyes flashed with extremely venomous red light. Relying on his high position and the thousands of elite troops behind him, he completely tore off the mask of pretense and roared fiercely.

"Stop bluffing! So what if you've managed to break through to the Profound Light Realm? You just gave birth to twins; your essence is absolutely depleted! This is nothing but a last gasp before your death!"

The more he spoke, the more confident he felt he had seen through the truth, his voice growing increasingly arrogant and domineering: "Look at those three useless trash behind you! A sword cultivator with dried-up meridians, a half-saint whose ghostly energy is exhausted, and a body cultivator whose life fire is almost extinguished! They've completely depleted their reserves protecting you during childbirth; they can barely stand, let alone take a blow for you!"

The commander raised the high-frequency laser blade in his hand, which gleamed with terrifying destructive light, and pointed it arrogantly at Jiang Yining's nose, letting out a piercing, sinister laugh: "Right now, you're all alone! Even if you're at the Profound Light Realm, I'll wear you down to death here today! Suppress her!"

With an extremely frenzied roar, the commander unhesitatingly activated all the core energy of the Star Spirit within his body, and directly summoned a Star Destroyer Array Plate from that extremely high-level storage ring. The plate was dark silver in color and exuded a terrifying aura of destruction!

This array plate is a precious treasure bestowed by the Protoss High Priest himself. It once directly shredded a small life-bearing star in the ancient times!

"Boom—Rumble!!!"

As soon as the array plate left his hand, it swelled in the dark seawater with a terrifying speed, instantly transforming into a huge silver vortex with a diameter of tens of thousands of feet!

This silver vortex resembled the gaping maw of an ancient ferocious beast, unleashing an extremely dazzling, blindingly destructive light. Billions of tons of seawater were savagely pushed aside and shredded by the vortex, and a terrifying suction and pressure, enough to completely collapse the void, crashed down from the center of the vortex, locking onto Jiang Yining below.

"The commander is mighty!"

"Crush her with the Star Destroyer Array! Crush the bastard child in her arms too!"

The Protoss vanguard army, which had been terrified, was instantly energized when they saw their commander unleash such a devastating trump card. They all revealed extremely cruel and bloodthirsty fanaticism and began to shout.

Standing behind Jiang Yining, Gu Qinghan, Yu Luofeng, and Su Chenzhou looked at the destructive vortex descending upon them, their eyes instantly igniting with extremely furious killing intent.

"You ant, how dare you disrespect her!" Gu Qinghan gritted his teeth, forcibly extracting the last bit of pure yang true fire from his meridians, wanting to swing his sword and cleave the heavens.

Yu Luofeng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out an extremely humiliating roar: "If I were in my prime, I could crush you scum with a single finger!"

Su Chenzhou's burly body swayed violently. He gritted his teeth, ignoring his ruptured wounds, and desperately tried to rush in front of Jiang Yining to shield her from this devastating blow.

However, they were truly exhausted.

Just as the terrifying pressure of the Star Destroyer Array was about to crash down on Jiang Yining's head, and everyone thought that an earth-shattering battle was about to break out!

An extremely bizarre scene unfolded.

Jiang Yining didn't even lift a finger.

The twin brother in her arms, who had been crying softly because of the noise outside—the baby boy who had just been born and whose body was automatically condensed into a dark black garment by the laws of heaven and earth—suddenly stopped crying.

His delicate, baby-faced features, still bearing the rosy blush typical of a newborn, slowly turned around.

Without any of the innocence or naivety of an infant, the boy's dark, deep eyes, seemingly capable of devouring all light, pierced through layers of seawater and raging energy vortexes, locking onto the Star Spirit Commander in mid-air who was swaggering and grinning maliciously.

The moment those eyes locked onto him, the commander's arrogant laughter seemed to be abruptly cut off in his throat by an invisible hand.

An indescribable, terrifying chill, originating from the deepest part of his soul and most instinctive, shot straight up his spine to the top of his head!

next second.

The extremely complex mark of life and death, interwoven with black and white and representing the highest law of the universe, deep in the boy's eyes, suddenly rotated in reverse.

There was no cataclysmic explosion of spiritual energy.

There are no dazzling or glaring lighting effects.

There was no deafening roar.

The entire world fell into an extremely eerie and chilling absolute silence the moment the boy's mark began to rotate.

The surrounding deep-sea water that was originally roaring and pouring back, the Star Destroyer Array that was spinning at high speed and emitting destructive light, and even the Star Spirit soldiers who were shouting with their mouths wide open, were all forcibly stopped for a very brief moment by an unparalleled power that was extremely superior to the Heavenly Dao!

Time was frozen in that one second!

Immediately afterwards, a deathly law, almost imperceptible to the naked eye and resembling a wisp of gray dust, shot out from the boy's deep eyes.

This gray law ignored spatial distance, ignored the defensive light barrier of the Star Destroyer Array that was said to be able to withstand all attacks, and even ignored the resistance of the water flow.

It was like a deadly arrow shot from the depths of hell, instantly traversing thousands of feet of space, and piercing the commander's forehead with extreme precision and without any obstruction!

"Clatter".

Time resumed its flow.

The Great Ascension stage peak commander, who was just a second ago extremely arrogantly shouting that he would wear Jiang Yining down to death and dig out the twins, suddenly froze in mid-air.

He still held the laser blade aloft, and his face still bore that extremely arrogant grin.

However, his electronic eyes went out completely in an instant.

He didn't even have time to let out a single scream. To his horror, he discovered that his proud, formidable Mahayana-stage physical body, honed through countless trials, and even his indestructible Star Spirit core and divine soul, were decaying at an incomprehensible and terrifying speed!

A second is extremely short for cultivators.

But in that one second, this Mahayana-stage leader seemed to have experienced the most brutal erosion of time over millions of years!

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, whose eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The magnificent Starry Heavy Armor that commanded him, which was said to be able to withstand even a blow from a demigod, instantly became mottled and turned into countless pieces of rust drifting with the waves; his powerful flesh and blood, like a dried corpse that had weathered for millions of years, instantly turned to ashes in the seawater!

"Splash—"

In the blink of an eye, a powerful Star Spirit commander at the peak of the Mahayana stage, who was renowned throughout the region, decayed into a handful of ashes in an extremely bizarre and absurd way.

All that remained was a pale, lifeless skeleton, devoid of any luster, which slid out of the tattered armor with a dull thud and slowly sank into the dark, cold ruins of the seabed.

Even the terrifying Star Destroyer Array Plate he had summoned, having lost the support of its master's star power, let out a mournful cry in mid-air and instantly shrank into a piece of scrap metal, crashing to the seabed with a clang.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Throughout the vast ocean, only the sound of surging seawater could be heard.

The three top-notch "fathers" standing behind Jiang Yining, who had just been preparing to fight to the death, were completely dumbfounded!

Gu Qinghan, a sword cultivator at the peak of the Dao Inquiry Realm who was always aloof and unflappable, even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was now completely unrefined, his chin slightly agape. His hands gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the pale skeleton that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. His mind was in turmoil, utterly unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Yu Luofeng gasped in shock. He, the dignified Lord of the Ghost Realm, a semi-saint, the ancestor who toyed with life and death and souls, now had his dark golden vertical pupils violently contract, shrinking to an astonishingly small pinpoint! He had actually sensed a pure, deathly law emanating from a newborn infant—a law that sent chills down even the spine of a semi-saint!

Su Chenzhou looked like a mortal who had seen a ghost, his angular, wild face filled with utter disbelief. His extremely thick Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he swallowed hard with a "gulp," feeling a chill run down his spine.

This is their first day as new fathers.

Their son, with just a glance and without even moving his hand, instantly killed a commander at the peak of the Mahayana stage!

Is this guy even human?!

At this moment, the thousands of Protoss vanguard troops floating around finally recovered from the extreme shock and disbelief.

"The commander... the commander is dead?!"

"Instant decay... This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! That baby is a monster! A complete and utter monster!"

"Run! Retreat! This is a trap!"

The commander's sudden and bizarre killing became the final straw that broke the camel's back. The Protoss vanguard army, which had been so aggressive and boastful of its intention to crush the land, was instantly plunged into extreme panic.

Their once-proud military discipline completely collapsed, and their formation crumbled. Countless Protoss soldiers, like headless flies, turned around and frantically activated their thrusters, desperately trying to escape this infernal seabed that even infants found terrifying and despairing.
