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

The residual heat of the fire gradually subsided.

The crimson barrier, forged by Feng Liuyun at the cost of his life, finally dissipated slowly after fulfilling its mission. Countless rays of light, interwoven with purple-gold and crimson, poured down from the sky, enveloping the entire Abandoned Star Island in a dazzling aura.

"It's done!"

Inside the weapon-refining pavilion, a hint of joy flashed in Jiang Yining's eyes.

She released Feng Liuyun from her embrace and turned to walk towards the core array eye that was suspended in the air.

It was a crystal radiating a dual light of purple-gold and crimson, no bigger than a fist, yet it was inscribed with countless densely packed interdimensional array patterns. Each array pattern contained terrifying power capable of tearing apart dimensional barriers, frantically intertwining and circulating within this tiny crystal.

The core of the cross-dimensional spirit boat has been perfectly tempered and completed!

"Buzz—"

As if sensing its master's presence, the array's core emitted a joyful hum. Countless array patterns began to arrange and combine according to some mysterious law, ultimately forming a complete spatial coordinate system.

Once this array core is embedded into the outer shell of the spirit boat, a cross-dimensional immortal boat capable of tearing apart dimensional barriers and roaming the myriad worlds will be officially formed!

Jiang Yining nodded in satisfaction and reached out to hold the array core in her palm.

Just as she was about to nurture it in her dantian—

"Boom!"

A tremendous, earth-shaking roar came from the outside.

Jiang Yining frowned slightly, and her divine sense instantly probed out of the secret room.

The next moment, her expression changed slightly.

In the sky, the dark mass of Protoss warships completely obscured the airspace above the abandoned star island. The terrifying pressure, enough to destroy a plane, caused the seawater in the entire area to stop churning, pressing it into a smooth mirror surface.

The array light emitted by tens of thousands of warships simultaneously dyed the entire sky a suffocating dark silver.

At the very center of these warships, a colossal, suffocating war fortress was slowly descending. It was the mobile base of the Protoss Star-Picking Army, its size comparable to a small star, its surface covered with countless cannons, a sight that would send chills down one's spine.

"Click—"

A devastating beam of light shot out from the fortress's main cannon and slammed straight into the purple-gold defensive shield surrounding Abandoned Star Island.

The entire island shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"The defenses are about to break!" Su Chenzhou's voice came through the communication array, filled with barely suppressed anxiety. "Mistress, we can't hold out much longer!"

Jiang Yining took a deep breath, her eyes instantly regaining their calm and rationality.

Ignoring the commotion outside, she lowered her head and looked at Feng Liuyun, who was slumped on the ground.

At this moment, Feng Liuyun was completely exhausted.

His Phoenix Clan essence was completely depleted, and his meridians were as dry as a cracked riverbed. If Jiang Yining hadn't used the life force of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree to prolong his life at the last moment, he would have been annihilated long ago.

However, despite this, he still did not die.

Under the nourishment of Jiang Yining's relentless dual cultivation, he not only survived but also rebuilt a purer foundation for the Phoenix Clan.

The Nirvana Flame rooted in his dantian was now radiating a purer and more intense light than ever before.

"Island Master..."

Feng Liuyun struggled to get up, but found that all the bones in her body seemed to have been removed, and she couldn't muster any strength.

He could only kneel on the ground, looking up at the woman before him.

The once alluring and handsome face now held no trace of arrogance or charm. Only utter fanaticism and submission remained.

His eyes changed.

From initial resentment and covetousness, to later morbid infatuation, and now to this almost fanatical devotion.

This woman, through a thoroughly enjoyable dual cultivation session, completely destroyed all his pride and self-esteem, turning him into an appendage who could only depend on her.

And he did it willingly.

"Get some rest." Jiang Yining glanced at him indifferently. "You don't need to worry about what happens next."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door of the secret room.

His steps were composed, his back view resolute.

The sea of ​​fire completely dissipated, and the doors of the weapon-refining pavilion slowly opened.

Jiang Yining, dressed in a simple white dress, slowly walked out from the embers.

She was surrounded by a faint, flowing light of interwoven purple-gold and crimson, making her appear like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was expressionless, yet it exuded a chilling aura of power.

In her inner vision, she was pleasantly surprised to find that after the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree absorbed the Nirvana Fire and the essence of dual cultivation, a crystal-clear, crimson new fruit had actually grown on its branch.

The fruit radiated an incredible vitality, as if it contained some kind of power about to hatch.

This is the product of the divine tree's evolution after the interaction of wood and fire!

Jiang Yining's lips curled into a slight smile, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

At that moment, countless destructive beams of light were pouring down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

The island-protecting formation, which the three male protagonists were struggling to maintain, was flickering violently, with more and more cracks appearing, and the defense could collapse at any moment.

"Ning'er!"

Gu Qinghan's voice came from afar, filled with barely suppressed anxiety, "There are too many bugs! We can't hold out much longer! How are things on your end?"

Jiang Yining did not answer.

She simply raised her hand slightly and held the array core, which was pulsating with two-colored light, tightly in her palm.

The purple-gold and crimson light intertwined and shimmered, reflecting on her cold, icy face.

next moment.

She lifted her foot and stepped out of the secret room.

"Who gave you permission to withdraw?"

His cool voice resounded throughout the venue, carrying an undeniable domineering air.

Standing atop the highest point of the weapon-refining pavilion, she looked down at the battlefield below, watching the three men who were fighting valiantly to protect her, a sharp smile curving her lips.

The Protoss fleet?

Warships that blot out the sky?

so what?

The core of the interdimensional spirit boat formation is complete. Given just a moment, she can assemble the entire spirit boat.

At that time, what will the mere Protoss be?

She raised her head, her gaze piercing through the layers of warships, reaching the core of that massive war fortress.

It was as if we were facing a silent confrontation with an unknown enemy across an endless starry sky.

"Mo Xie," she spoke, her voice as cold as ice, "Initiate the spirit ship assembly process. I want to witness this immortal ship emerge from the corpses of the Star Spirits."
