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

The surrounding star fragments were torn to dust by this violent constricting force.

The silver light above the altar twisted into a huge vortex, like a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, mercilessly dragging everything around it toward the center.

The wind howled, and pebbles flew through the air.

Ao Lin transformed into a half-dragon and smashed a boulder that was hurtling towards Da Bao with one hand.

"This old madman is going to detonate a spatial node."

Ao Lin wiped the stone dust off his face, his golden dragon eyes as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

"The laws of space here are completely chaotic; it's impossible to even tear through the void to escape."

Yu Luofeng snorted coldly, and dense ghostly energy gathered between his pale fingers.

"Why didn't you just say you'd extract this old fox's soul and refine it directly? Why all this nonsense?"

"Gu Qinghan, Feng Liuyun."

Jiang Yining's clear, cool voice pierced through the deafening roar and landed clearly in their ears.

"Protect the child and Bai Ze."

Without any hesitation, Gu Qinghan thrust the broken sword into the bluestone slab beneath his feet.

The pure Yang sword intent of the early stage of the Dao Seeking Realm erupted without reservation.

A semi-circular white light shield rose from the ground, firmly protecting the five children and the seriously injured Bai Ze in the center.

"Ning'er, be careful of the backlash from the array's core."

Gu Qinghan's frosty eyes followed Jiang Yining's retreating figure closely, his knuckles white from gripping the sword.

Feng Liuyun unfolded her folding fan, and the crimson-gold Nirvana True Fire transformed into a wall of fire, burning fiercely against the outer edge of Gu Qinghan's sword intent shield.

Incinerate all the spatial rifts that tried to approach.

"Ice-faced, control your sword energy, don't let it touch my fire."

Feng Liuyun raised her peach blossom eyes slightly, and although her tone was nonsensical, fine beads of sweat had already seeped out from her forehead.

Jiang Yining did not turn around.

She faced the collapsing force that was powerful enough to tear apart a True Monarch Realm expert, and walked step by step toward the core of the altar.

Her purple-gold skirt fluttered in the storm, and the red mole between her brows looked eerily red.

"A mere borrowed pseudo-divine formation dares to talk about mutual destruction in front of me."

Jiang Yining tilted her head slightly.

He suddenly clasped his hands together in front of him.

The illusory form of the Soul-Devouring Vine was fully revealed to everyone without reservation.

Countless purple-gold vines, as thick as an adult's arm, surged into the collapsing spatial vortex like lightning flowing upstream.

The vines intertwined in mid-air to form a giant, sky-covering net, forcefully holding back the ever-increasing spatial barriers.

"swallow."

Jiang Yining gave a cold shout.

The laws of chaos reversed, and the essence of moonlight accumulated beneath the altar for tens of thousands of years was brutally extracted along the purple-gold vines.

A visible torrent of silver energy surged wildly into Jiang Yining's body.

The terrifying pressure, belonging to the mid-stage of the semi-saint realm, completely overwhelmed the entire scene at this moment.

The oppressive force was so overwhelming that even the Qingqiu Ancient Moon Mirror, suspended in mid-air, let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure.

The madness on Granny Yue's face was finally replaced by fear.

"What kind of monster are you?"

The old woman waved her withered hands frantically, trying to regain control of the altar's runes.

"This is a formation bestowed by the Fox God; how could it be forcibly devoured by the power of mortals?"

Jiang Yining didn't bother to answer. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and instantly disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, she was already in mid-air.

A purplish-gold chaotic vitality enveloped her slender palms.

She lightly slapped the Qingqiu Ancient Moon Mirror, which was said to be at the peak of the Heavenly Monarch level, with one palm.

The crisp cracking sound was particularly clear in the strong wind.

The nine fox tail carvings on the mirror surface instantly vanished.

The Ancient Moon Mirror transformed into countless silver fragments, which fell gracefully down from the sky.

Jiang Yining didn't stop; she moved like a streak of purple-gold lightning, instantly closing in on Granny Yue.

Five slender, white fingers, like iron-cast eagle claws, precisely gripped the top of the Moon Goddess's head.

Stop.

Jiang Yining's voice was icy cold.

With the shattering of the Ancient Moon Mirror and the capture of the main force, the earth-shattering spatial collapse force came to an abrupt end.

The raging vortex above the altar gradually subsided.

The last few silver chains wrapped around the sacrificial pillar also turned to dust in an instant.

Wu Bao's small body slid softly down from mid-air.

Despite his severe injuries, Bai Ze lunged forward and caught his daughter steadily in his arms.

"Father."

Wu Bao hugged Bai Ze's neck and buried his face in his blood-stained chest.

Bai Ze patted Wu Bao's back with trembling hands, his golden demonic eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.

Above the steps.

Grandma Yue collapsed to the ground, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

The cold hand on her head sealed off all her meridians and life force.

"Don't kill this old woman."

Grandma Moon's cloudy eyes were filled with pleading, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"I will hand over the key to the treasure vault, and I am willing to lead the Qingqiu clan to submit to you."

"I was just confused for a moment, and I only resorted to this desperate measure in order to continue the bloodline of the fox clan."

Jiang Yining stood in front of her, looking down at the old face filled with fear.

His purple-gold eyes were completely indifferent.

"Submission?"

Jiang Yining's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"You filthy thing, even your own people are used as sacrifices, do you deserve to defile my place?"

She did not let go; her immense semi-saintly consciousness transformed into countless sharp steel needles, mercilessly piercing into Granny Yue's sea of ​​consciousness.

Soul Search.

Granny Yue let out an extremely shrill scream, her eyes instantly rolling upwards.

Jiang Yining closed her eyes and quickly flipped through the deliberately hidden memories in the old woman's mind.

A moment later.

Jiang Yining suddenly opened her eyes, a murderous intent surging within them.

With a gentle exertion of her five fingers, Granny Yue's screams abruptly ceased, and she collapsed to the ground, life extinguished.

Gu Qinghan sheathed the broken sword and walked to Jiang Yining's side.

"Ning'er, what did you find?"

Gu Qinghan's gaze swept over the corpse on the ground, his tone revealing a hint of concern.

Feng Liuyun also came over, gently waving her folding fan in front of her chest.

"This old woman is a liar; could the treasure vault key be fake?"

Jiang Yining took out a clean white silk handkerchief from her sleeve and slowly wiped her fingers.

"The Qingqiu Ancient Moon Altar is not for communicating with any fox god at all."

Jiang Yining casually tossed the silk handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands onto Granny Yue's corpse.

"This place is just a trap."

Da Bao carried his sword up the steps, a hint of confusion on his face.

"Mother, what does 'bait' mean?"

Jiang Yining raised her head, her gaze passing over the collapsed altar and looking into the depths of the boundless starry sky.

"Deep within Granny Yue's sea of ​​consciousness lies a mark belonging to the divine realm."

Her voice sounded particularly cold in the night wind, yet it made everyone present feel a sudden chill in their hearts.

"Those high and mighty beings in the divine realm have long been eyeing the special destinies of these children."

Jiang Yining turned around, her gaze sweeping over Da Bao, San Bao, and Wu Bao in turn.

"They deliberately fabricated the lie of the fox god's appearance to let the Qingqiu clan capture the Five Treasures."

"The purpose is to lure us all into this enclosed space."

Sibao held the golden abacus, and the silver light of the Heavenly Eye dimmed slightly.

"So, the spatial collapse just now wasn't for mutual destruction at all."

Sibao moved the abacus beads, making a crisp sound.

"That's to teleport us directly to the realm of the gods."

Jiang Yining nodded slightly, her fists clenching quietly beneath her sleeves.

The reach of the divine realm has gone too far.
