The thirty-three domains surged with colored light, dispersing the golden brilliance of Amaterasu's Divine Realm. Layers of special divine powers automatically manifested within the domain, their might terrifying, pressing down on the divine body of Amaterasu.
"Great Sun Divine Fist."
As Amaterasu's fists danced, they seemed to transform into mini-suns capable of melting gold and iron, completely evaporating the moisture in the air and causing the seawater beneath the cracked islands to rapidly recede.
"Boom!"
This time, Luo Yu finally gained the upper hand. Amaterasu's fists extinguished, and the entire god was sent flying away.
Now was the time to pursue the victory relentlessly, showing no mercy and chasing after Amaterasu with a furious barrage of attacks.
With a punch, Luo Yu pierced through Amaterasu's chest, the power of Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations absorbing the opponent's divine power source.
"How dare a mere mortal ant aspire to steal divine power, dream on!"
Amaterasu bellowed, and the already terrifying aura emanating from its body unexpectedly climbed higher, as if it had broken through two great realms, completely exceeding the limits imposed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, yet no Heavenly Punishment appeared.
The violent Great Sun Divine Power repelled Luo Yu, and the entire thirty-three domains were on the brink of shattering.
"You were holding back your true strength just now!"
Luo Yu hadn't expected this guy to be so sneaky, concealing his real combat power all along.
Had it been against the level the opponent displayed earlier, he might have stood a chance, but now, the situation was genuinely dangerous.
Amaterasu sneered with arrogant coldness:
"Of course, killing you isn't the goal. The key is to force out the last resort left for you by the Deities of Great Xia."
"It seems your tricks have come to an end now."
"I've already sensed that the secret is within you. All I have to do is capture you alive and skin you, then all the treasures will belong to me."
Luo Yu shouted coldly, "Go dream your grandiose dreams, old dog; I won't give them to you even if I have to self-destruct."
Blood continuously oozed from his skin, and expanding the domain too much had reached the limit that his current body could withstand.
Battling with gods granted him fresh insights on the path he must follow, but he was still a good distance from making a breakthrough.
The opponent was too abnormal.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Luo Yu, unyielding, rose to his feet and charged forth, seeking an opportunity to break the Divine Realm and help the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters escape.
But Amaterasu's eyes pierced through all intentions, giving Luo Yu no chance whatsoever.
Luo Yu's aura grew increasingly weak, gradually becoming powerless, while Amaterasu became more and more dominant.
"Boom!"
Luo Yu was struck in the chest by a powerful and terrifying beam of light, all his protective divine abilities instantly shattered.
With his chest pierced through, he stained the air with blood and was smashed flying off into the distance.
"Brother Yu!"
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters cried out in worry and gave chase, rushing to catch Luo Yu.
Luo Yu wasn't dead, his chest quickly regenerating under the gleam of green light—that was the Shennong Field at work.
"Damn it."
"A god coming to deal with me, how shameless."
Luo Yu gritted his teeth, filled with unwillingness and resentment. It felt like the antagonist boss had unexpectedly deviated from the script, not giving him time to develop, coming straight to the newbie village to rob and kill him.
"Mortal, your death is certain today, there's no need to struggle anymore, not even Heavenly King Lao Zi can save you."
Amaterasu, overflowing with smug indifference, laughed, his eyes looking down disdainfully from on high.
He raised his hand, and the sky above coalesced into countless small golden suns.
Like fiery meteors falling from the skies, they hurtled towards Luo Yu and the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters.
Before his chest could fully recover, Luo Yu broke free from Zhu Zhuqing's embrace and surged forward.
The power of all thirty-three domains transformed into his fist.
His punches howled, shaking the Divine Realm.
In an instant, all the fiery meteors shattered, countless sparks shooting out in all directions.
His punch directly annihilated half of Amaterasu's body, but Amaterasu restored himself in a blink of an eye.
This scene filled the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters and Luo Yu with despair.
The enemy was truly terrifying.
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters couldn't activate the hidden power within them, and although Luo Yu's Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations could devour the opponent's divine power, the speed of absorption was too slow, and the opponent's combat power far exceeded his own by too much.
"It's over."
Amaterasu displayed impatience, pointing a finger, and immediately in the void, a finger burning with raging flames materialized, crushing down towards Luo Yu from afar, filled with destructive power.
Just as Luo Yu was about to mobilize his power to strike, he coughed out blood instead, his veins throbbing with searing pain.
He had reached his limit.
He had truly given his all.
Luo Yu felt bitter and unwilling, thinking if only the opponent could have given him one more year, no, even just half a year to develop.
He wouldn't have been so powerless.
Watching that powerful finger bearing down, Luo Yu felt nothing but rage and frustration.
The opponent was too shameless.
"Don't."
How could the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters stand by and watch Luo Yu be crushed to death, they charged forward like moths to a flame.
Ready to shield Luo Yu with their bodies from the attack.
But they had not forgotten the treasure that the Venerable Sovereign had given them at his grand wedding, even though they did not know how to activate it, they thought it should automatically activate in such a moment, they were full of trust in the elder whom Luo Yu had recognized before his memory loss.
"Tsk tsk, truly moving emotions."
"But it is just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly meaningless." Amaterasu shook her head repeatedly.
Luo Yu's pupils dilated, his body at its limit, yet he forcibly burst forth with a powerful strength.
In an instant, he broke through the air, overtaking the two women, to meet that imposing giant finger.
His belief was that men should be the ones to shoulder the sky if it were falling, how could he just watch women shield him from attack and go to their deaths?
"Damn it."
Luo Yu gritted his teeth, feeling that the next finger strike would either kill him or leave him severely disabled, his mind raced with many thoughts.
In this moment of crisis, the space covered by the Divine Realm suddenly shattered open a gap.
A finger, clear as jade, emerged and in an instant, it magnified countless times, clashing with the divine finger head-on.
In a split second.
The flame-enshrouded giant finger came to a sudden halt and then, as if it was being sliced by countless spatial forces, it shattered apart and dissipated into nothingness.
All the deadly threats were completely neutralized.
Luo Yu's face showed surprise, who could it be? Did Great Xia still have such mighty figures?
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters who had been extremely anxious, even ready to embrace death, now lit up with joy at the sight of that crystalline jade finger.
"She's here."
"She couldn't help but make a move, huh."
Amaterasu's expression was one of astonishment, who could have the power to break through Her Divine Realm and intervene? A mortal surely could not possess such strength.
"Whish——"
A peerless beauty with silver hair cascading down to her luscious peach-shaped buttocks stepped out from the void, her purple eyes emitting an indifferent chill, and her features so exquisitely perfect that she took one's breath away.
Her lotus feet tread upon the void, and a pair of slender, jade-like legs were hinted at beneath her skirt.
"The White-Haired Goddess?"
Luo Yu was instantly dazzled, feeling a sense of familiarity.
But upon a closer look, he realized it was not her. This woman had a similarly powerful aura but looked noticeably different from the White-Haired Goddess.
Why save me?
"Do you know her?" He asked the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters.
Zhu Zhuyun curled her lips, come on, husband, she's also your wife, you know!!!
And she's your most powerful wife at that.
"Who are you?"
Amaterasu searched her mind for this unsurpassed beauty but found no matching identity.
The aura emanating from the stranger was peculiar, not following the same Divine Lineage System as Hers.
But her strength clearly went beyond the mortal realm.
Gu Yuena stared coldly at Her, her beautiful eyes brimming with intense murderous intent.
Noticing Luo Yu's blood-spitting, weakened state from the corner of her eye, her fury reached its zenith.
How dare they, hurt her husband.
This old dog deserves to die.
Gu Yuena was too disdainful to say more to Amaterasu, her pale hand striking out against the void.
In that moment, numerous dark spatial fissures formed, menacing like ferocious beasts.
"Who are you!"
"Why can you exhibit such power, and how did you avoid the Rule Power of Heaven and Earth?"
Amaterasu waved to block, only to find the spatial fractures unstoppable, pressuring Her immensely.
Her eyes full of confusion, she couldn't fathom why a strange woman had suddenly appeared and was so formidable.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Hurt my man, and you deserve death." Gu Yuena thought to herself as she continued to slap with her hand.
The terrifying spatial fluctuations descended, Amaterasu's Divine Realm was torn asunder, countless twisted spatial powers acting upon Her divine avatar, in an instant tearing Her divine avatar to shreds.
"Ah——"
Hearing the agonizing screams, Gu Yuena's gaze grew colder, her attacks became more ruthless.
Luo Yu watched, dumbstruck by the scene.
